Employment :)

Hello there! XD 

Finally, I have been employed by a company. Yayy!

So, basically this is week number 2. I started working on Wednesday, 16th March 2016. Well, working is fine. The environment is so freaking fine! Hahaha. Actually, the reason why I am writing this entry is because I really want to share about my experience getting interviewed by a few of the companies that I applied through Jobstreet. Without a doubt, one of the things that I believe, grew me to be a little bit wiser. So, let's get it started, shall we?

I shall not mention any company's name. Yer lah takut tetiba unemployed pulak nanti lulz! But, I have pictures that I will be sharing soon so here comes the storyyyyyy.

I was scheduled to be on four different interviews in a week. Every thing was pretty messed up at first because I know that I have to dig what I really want to go after in life and then, these opportunities came along. I was feeling blessed to have had the chance to sit still and think deeply about which one should I pick out of these four places that I was offered its employment. Plus, having kind-hearted friends who constantly giving out their best thoughts and undivided attention in helping me making decisions. It was tough especially when these four places required me to commence immediately. 

I am not gonna lie but I kinda like an interview where there should be a necessary assessment before the interview session takes place. Simply like they are giving you a set of questions to be answered prior interview session. Like this one right here! :P

Aced it! I was offered with a 6-month employment contract as I would be assigned to deal with workloads and duties of a pregnant woman because she will be on her maternity leave. But, the bad news is that I had to reject this one! Harharhar but they are willing to pay big bucks though, the highest salary offered. I really like interviews, I do not know why. It is the only time when you will get to market and sell yourself. Give them reasons why they should hire you. I seriously do not like to be too formal, well-organized with interviews. For me, it is when you get to be yourself. You get to promote your skills without any impromptu "interview pack" starter. Do you get what I am saying? There are no lists of example of interview questions and their suggested answers, no preparation, you just go! I did not prepare anything, as a matter of fact, I did not prepare myself to answer any tests beforehand. But still, I slayed them all! Muahaha..

Nonetheless, I chose this one company and it is located at Axiata Tower, KL Sentral. 

I am probably gonna share about the environment in the office only. It is very different from what I have experienced during my stay at Khidmatax Consultant. Have you ever watched the movie "Internship"?. Yeah, sort of like that. My workplace is on level 18 (oh god, I have been dreaming this for years haha) and I am an accounts assistant. I do not think I want to explain further about my job scopes but in case you guys ever wonder about it and I know, you guys always do so, I provide you this.

            

Alright, now let's talk about the environment. I have mentioned previously about the movie, The Internship (Google interns not the old intern one). Every time you walk in the building, people often greet you with "Good Morning", "Hello", "Bye" just to name a few. It is so sweet at first but when it happens to have more than 10 people greeting, suddenly it becomes so awkward. I will have to put on a fake smile greeting them as well "Good Morning" until I reach at my work station hahaha. They are too friendly and I do not like friendly people. It is because when you decide to leave, you will have to consider their feelings because they are being too nice. I fail in dealing with my own emotional intelligence so maybe I will just be working here until the day I die. 

I really need to reconsider back what is the best for me. I know that I want to become a chartered accountant one day but working here, eventhough the environment is amazingly superb, I do not see me becoming an accountant in the future. I might end up becoming an accounts manager or senior executive and I know even to be a manager, it will take my time about 5-7 years. That is why I need to make decision as soon as possible because as far as my dream is concerned, working here would just not do it. I need more set of skills, chase better opportunities and look forward to prospering my accounting knowledge and other general familiarity in this field.  

I am not saying that working here has nothing to do with accounting treatments whatsoever. Even now I am learning and getting to learn new terms I have never heard before like managers' overrides (even til today I have no idea what the hell is overrides), released bond etc. And my job mainly deals with "for the week ended" financial period so every thing is in hurry. I can feel the pressure every week especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

I hardly think that I am going to take this job seriously. Every one has their own dreams that they want to chase after. But, this job is my first ever! I have to make a career out of this, make a living. I love every one in the office, I love Adam, he is a nice guy. I love my colleagues, they are amazingly good people, I love my work station, I love the coffee machine because it serves the best coffee I ever tasted in life, I love it when every one greets in the morning, it just never stops! I love them guys, they are retarded chumps. I love the pantry because I get to eat cookies any time I want.

Well, Adam is my boss. Whenever we address him with "boss", he will reply "It's Adam". And I remember that I bumped into him one time, in an opposite direction, he said "After you, mate". He is so down to earth.

My desk..

To be honest, the first 2 days were rather exhausting. It is simply because I was not ready to be working. And seeing my friends who are already employed and I am financially unstable, I think that I might do something about it. I should! And I did now. The question always remains whether have I made the right decision? Is this how I grow my career? 

New Joiners. 

I do not have the answer now. If it were to be answered hastily, I would be staying here until my probation ends. Or until the end of this year. Then, I will seek for better opportunities afterwards. I know everyone would question the same thing. Why would I quit? All I can say right now is that I do not see it. I could give this workplace, the environment, benefits and everything but I do not see the fact that I am employed here will bring me to the finish line that I have always wanted to achieve. 

My colleagues are nice. I have been working here for 2 weeks and a half now and they have shown me nothing but unwavering friendship. I do not like to get attached to someone because I know that it will somehow affect my decisions once I have decided to look for a better workplace in enhancing my set of skills. If I told this to anyone out there, they would not see the solid reason why I need to reconsider back my decision. All they would suggest is asking me to stay a little bit longer. That is definitely not what I feel right now. I believe only certain people with the same vision as me will see this clearly.

And when they get stressed out over the workloads, they will yell "Rahmat, apa awak buat ni?". I did not do anything though, it is probably just their own dramatic way to get over themselves. They are crazy! I try to remain positive every time. Whatever the situation and circumstances are, I will keep fighting. Until there is nothing left in me, then I will think about the next step I am going to take. Whatever it is, I still go to work as usual. Because in order to have money, one has to work. Hahaha. I do not know when is it going to be my last day but as for now, I do not feel like I should stop working. Let's continue working, make money. 

A place where everyone can have a moment away from work. Its pantry literally has everything. Even the vending machine and it only costs RM1 for all canned drinks. 

But, best things in life are free, right? So, I love the coffee machine. It is amazing to have tasted various types of coffee. I like the taste of Hazelnut by the way. :P

     

An amazing view from the pantry.

I am at a point in my life where I believe that Allah gives me what I need instead of letting me have what I want. So, let the chip fall where it may. If He wants to give what I want in life, sure it will happen. Sooner or later! :)

Till then, 
Assalamualaikum.

Improvement

Assalamualaikum

Actually I have decided to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of my blog which happens to be on 1st August 2014. The thing that I wanted to do last year but I did not do because maybe I had no enough channels to let my friends know that it has been many years and my blog is still strong. Strongly alive! Since I have an Instagram account so this may be a great channel for me to celebrate my blog as well as to let my new friends know that I am a blogger and writing is one of the things that I really love doing and I am truly passion about.

On every Saturday, I will be posting a print-screened picture or any pictures I have uploaded in this very blog. Since I know there would be no one to read the entry, I will just have to write a little bit of what the entry is all about, what the main gist that I wanted to tell whenever I posted entries etc.

You know, I have selected few of my entries to share on the next Saturdays. As I read back all the entries, actually, I am quite surprised and amazed with my writings. How I have developed my writing skills, how they have evolved, how I have changed as an individual. And honestly I think, my vocab and grammar are getting so much better.

When I started to blog in English, I didn't care what people might say. I just wanted to write and luckily, I knew Mustaain and Anis because they always read books, novels, maybe any English materials. When I read their blogs, I got the adrenaline rush to be one of them. And of course it has been a habit of mine to be a copycat and do whatever they did. So, I started spending many Ringgit to buy novels, I read a lot of books and it brought me the place where I am now. There were times when I asked my friends "What do you think about my English?" They always supported me, always gave me honest opinions. That's what friends do, right? 

As I looked around for entries to share, I read my writings, I realize how big of an impact reading books has made me. Unfortunately for me, I am not be able to write like that anymore. It is just that it has been many years I didn't read English novels, almost 3 years to be exact. Of course, my grammar is getting better because I learn it over time. But my biggest concern is vocabulary, whether I want to improve or is it okay for me to slightly know a small part of English language. And honest to God, I didn't understand some of the words I wrote a few years ago. I need to start fresh la after this. Maybe it has been many years like I said before.

Besides, there are a lot of entries too I really feel like deleting them for good. But I keep saying to myself to let them be, I believe that, that was past of me and it may act as a sense for me to abstain myself from doing or posting ever again like those demonic and maniacal alike entries in the history of blogger.com hahahaha. They say "people grow up" and apparently, I grew up too. 

Live Blogging: 10 months transformation.

Salam.

Live blogging is created by me to let you know that I am updating this blog by using a phone. Not once in my life I updated my blog using a smart phone. Live blogging also indicates short updates, certainly it would keep me posting more entries for my loyal fans. Muahh i love you oll! :)

Short update.

Within these 10 months, I want to achieve few goals.

1. Being able to learn more about Islam and any perspectives related to it.
2. Having a great shape of body. I am getting fat now that is for sure.
3. Being selected into Dean's List section.
4. Celebrating the 5th anniversary of this blog.

I don't know if you notice it or not but 10 months from now is the end of this year. So basically, 2 more semesters for me to bring my A game and put a lot of effort into it. Last semester was like a trial. First time entering into a university and fighting for letting myself to be able to tip toe during the studies. So, starting from this semester onwards, I guess I should know how it will go and how am I going to live as well.

And this year would be the 5th anniversary of my blog. I am glad that this blog runs beautifully. I should tell you now that I had plenty of entries drafted. I have the idea but I guess what makes me keep them from posting is that I hate the writings that I made. It is so lame and can be placed in the trash can immediately.

What about my body? This is really getting out of hand. I should lose weight. About this particular goal, I don't want to talk because I will be updating it every month if I had the time.

Til then, goodbye.

Degree Results 1.0

Salam.

Last few years, I kept posting several entries about my results for diploma final examinations. And hey, what a better idea to keep 'em going for degree as well! Hahaha. Before I let you guys to know my results, I just have one thing to say.

Alhamdulillah. You know what, I feel so grateful for this semester's result. I truly am! Because I did not give it all out when I answered the question papers. I was so afraid of the outcomes. I did realize that once I entered into a university, the pressure was real, the pain was undeniable, being alongside with smart people killed and it forced me to bring my A game every time I had to present myself.

Where did it go? Confidence, I need you.
I used to be talkative in most classes, be known, let everyone fear for my presence. Yes, there were times when,

Lecturer: Miss bagi markah yang highest dulu.
Classmates: Rahmat.. Rahmat.. Rahmat..

I am not saying that I was good back then but that happened. I certainly, cannot expect that would happen again during my degree studies but I kind of hoping, but why? Please let me know the answer.

I scored 4A's, 3B's and a C. 

First, BEL492.
I already knew at the beginning that I would score this subject no matter what. Anyone that knows anything at all about me would know why is this subject easy for me to score. When I heard about this subject, I said to myself "This is your thing! Go for it!". First presentation was good, I managed to get 33/40. When it came to the second one, I thought I did bad. But when my lecturer, Prof Din decided to comment on our performance, how well we did, she asked everyone the same question over and over again. "You think you did better first or second?". Given to understand that I was so anxious on the second assessment, I replied to her, "the first one". "No, you did better on second. You did Short-term Decision Making. Your introduction was good, your points were very good in fact I gave you full marks for your points. Okay, but you can still improve, huh? Don't be too satisfied with that." She certainly meant that my marks were better than first one! I recorded it. I can listen it to you guys if you don't believe me. :P And Alhamdulillah, aced it with an A.

Second, CTU553.
I had so much respect for Prof Asma' Ali. What I love about her was her unwavering relationship. No one could hate this professor. You know, the first class, most of us were so afraid to enter into her classes because she has this undeniable looks that makes you feel like "Okay, don't be mad at me!". Just a moment when she opened her mouth, she was so hilarious. Ya Allah, trust me! We laughed, we talked, we shared our opinions towards religious matters. I mean, what about ethnic relations had nothing to do with religious matters but we were so proud to be taught by her. And it was so special to be able to work and learn so much from her. And please trust me, she was so so so hilarious during our final class. Good sense of humor, I liked it. Thank you, Ustazah for giving me an A and 2 Cloudnines, you always made your classes so much fun.

Third, PSA420.
Madam Razinah oh Madam Razinah. The best public sector accounting lecturer ever. She made me love to score my paper. The way she taught was absolutely simple, and working. We even got to finish all the syllabus earlier that what had stated in the course outline and we actually got what she taught. Make no mistakes about it, she taught us on her terms. She knew what she was doing. You know, there were 3 classes combined for her class, the best thing was when were trying to get noisy, she regularly said "Okay, diam sekejap" and it went that way for several time, for a while. She said the words then she laughed. How were we supposed to diam when she laughed? Hahahaha. Thank you for an A as well, madam. I love public sector accounting now because of you. You made it simple. Thank you! :)

Fourth, MGT543.
Dr. Pau, one of my personal favorites lecturers. She assigned our teams/group members, and because of that I was be able to know a lot of people from different classes. Lucky me, I was paired with two girls who were not from my class. I tell you something, if she had us to choose our own team members, I would have never got the chance to know and work with different people with different backgrounds. It was awkward at the beginning but we managed to get through all the assessments well. To be honest, since I was working with the girls, I had gone to Kolej Melati (girls' hostel) to discuss our project together for quite sometimes. About the class, it was like diploma years all over again. If you came late to the class, you were going to entertain all the classmates. You would have to sing, act and story tell if that is okay. Anything, as long as it is entertaining. Seorang tak datang, satu kumpulan kena. I was once coming late and I did not want to sing, nooo, oh hell noooo! I told them few stories of mine and they enjoyed it. Only that matters to me. Thank you, Dr Pau for forcing us, challenging us to adapt with new friends, environment and giving me an A.

I think that's enough. I used to update my results only and not to brag about these things. Hahahahaha. Whatever it is, I am so thankful for the result that I had. It made me realize how to prove and mend myself next time. About my pointer, I must say that it is a good start for my degree. I hope to have more for upcoming semesters. Doa aku Allah selalu dengar, itu yang rasa macam nak nangis itu. Alhamdulillah for the result. Semoga terus sukses pada masa akan datang.

Berpuasa Nazar, hari pertama.

Ladi dadi daaa.

Salam.

This year would be the 5th year of my blog. Nothing new, pretty much the same. 

I will try hard to keep it updated. 
*I HATE EVERY WORD IN ABOVE SENTENCE*

I have changed my blog's layout. It was funny because at first, I thought maybe I should let my blog the way it was before but these two hands just could not stand it. It is good, and you know what they say? New is always better. Oh what the hell? Layout je pun.

I will update soon. I "promise".

Random Rant

#nowplaying The One by Backstreet Boys.
Blogging mood : Terrific! :)

Assalamualaikum.

If you noticed my previous post, I put a picture and I guess you may know what and how big of an impact that drama had influenced us, especially those who loved F4.

It started when there were claims confirming that Meteor Shower was going to star in our sky. To be honest, I was one of the people who wanted to see it. I went outside of my house, waited for a few minutes and it got really scary, I got chills so I went back inside. Basically, I just read those updates on Twitter. Still nothing big happened, it was not published in the newspaper or any electronic devices so I want to have my few minutes back. Why? Because I was bitten by the mosquitoes and I was scared (though I made it so) looking at the sky.

Okay, now back to the reason why I uploaded the picture at the first place. As I mentioned before, it all started with these meteor shower claims. Then just the day after, I came to notice that I had a complete set of season 1 and season 2 of Meteor Garden. I remember in the year of 2002, my sister had to pay a lot of money buying these 2 seasons. I just thought that I should watch it again, you know just for pleasuring myself since I am about to continue my studies after this, 15 days away!

The main point I am blogging right now is not to blab about the drama. If you miss the story and casts especially the boys, I would lend you.

Then I google-d to know the "progeny" of their careers now. Then, there was a link addressing me to their reunion early this year, to be more specific, Chinese New Year celebration. It tore me up to see they united after all these years pursuing their own interests. 

I may not have a firm grasp on sensing the perfect bonding of a relationship among friends but when I watched the video, I had this one feeling, a feeling I could not describe. All I know is why can't I ever have to feel it? 

Ah! mengada lah pulak aku ini.

I strongly recommend you guys to watch it. Just for fun, dwelling back on our past memories. But please do not get carried away like me. Muahaha..

I just want to express my opinion about friendship. Given to observe theirs makes me want to make a good call about friendship soon. All you have to do is waiting for the next post to come. 

Owh! you know what they say, Imma give ya real good!

And I thought of selecting Mandarin as third language subject in my degree studies. What do you think about it? The truth is I want to choose other language i.e Arab, Korean, French etc instead of Mandarin but I guess there is no room since we live in Malaysia and I know it is not a must but somehow I feel like I am obligated to take it. It is okay, nothing to lose!

2013 F4's reunion.

I think I have a problem scaling the size of the pictures. Maybe because I haven't been blogging for a quite long time. And my writing, I should develop its skill. It takes time, InsyaAllah I'll improve my writing. Well, I am a novice blogger to say the least. :P

See you soon! Salam.
0628 a.m. :)

Ahoy!

I had a fine conversation with my niece just now.
"Nak masuk belajar dah ke, Paksu? Mesti boring kan? Hahahaha"

I replied 
"Nak masuk sekolah kan esok? Mesti seronok kan? Hahahahahahahahaha"

You know what they say, "you get what you give".

Hi, everyone! Assalamualaikum.

Since I have nothing to update, LET'S ASSUME someone will read this post and suggest me good topics so that I can discuss/blab them with you guys and I tell you it should be good topics otherwise I won't do it. And I have to tell you how much I miss blogging. I didn't blog because I had no interesting topics. Even though I should have many like my amazing life, beautiful rides, my diploma studies et cetera. There were some reasons why I couldn't get it posted i.e. I had no photographs to make them valuable and much more fascinating.

One of the main reasons was it really has been a while I didn't read English books, journals, articles, novels so it's a little bit hard for me to write. InsyaAllah I'll try my best to make this blog a new and improved one!

And I have a great thing to share. Wait for it! Here's the clue.

Got it? :)
