Hobby 30 October 2010

Seriously, I need to redefine what is my hobby other than just keep stay in the room and facing my laptop. After graduate, I never take sport anymore. Work is occupying majority of the time, however I still hope that I can know more new friends, at least got some healthy activities during the weekend. Working life is different with study life, we are hard to get a new friend to hang out like what we did it crazy in school life. Where can I get more friends? By social and join club?

No time is no an excuse for me because most of the time I feel tire and don’t think that want to find some outdoor activity during the weekend. Stay in room and take a good rest without thinking too much. Now I need to walk out from the room. I know it is not easy as I’m alone. Dinner outside alone can be quite very embarrass once a lot of people are looking for the seat and I’m the only one occupying the whole table. Sometimes eager for some food, but the portion is not really friendly to me since I cannot finish it alone.  

Haha, like very pity only, but I’m trying to adapt myself to it. Just come back from mall to buy some simple food to keep in the room. After feel months, I can feel that I start to have some aunty syndrome- buy a lot to keep when the price is marking down. Stuff with the label of ‘discount’ will most be my first priority to pick it up.

Lastly, to some special in mind, you smile because u knew. Ganbate.

Oh ya, today no highlight for working stuff… :P next week highlight for whole blog.. wakaka.

Job-hunting in progress 24 October 2010

This week onwards I have start my job hunting. Maybe all of you all think that is that no more turn for my decision had been made? My answer is: Yes, but I not rush to escape immediately unless got something trigger me to resign straight away without a good backup plan. For the meantime, ‘something that I had mentioned is such as my colleagues resign, new issue that makes me feel uncomfortable. 

Until here I know that a lot of you will start to think of why I give up so early? Strawberry generation… bla3. This job is not suitable to me, maybe I cannot withstand with the work pressure that I need to always stand by even midnight or weekend for decision making. Haha, a lot more reason I can gave, but don’t want to tell you, because I know all people hate listen to it. :P

I had no idea what kind of job I need to find for this time, the constraint for me is the location of the company since I cannot go too far with my little motorbike, unless I move house. This is not a quick change that I can make, at least take me 2 months time for me to settle my current house moving out notice (not know what to call for that, correct me :P). So, mostly I will stay until early of next year, if no ‘something’ happened.

Some company that I’m targeting for now, such as IME (CAD CAM design software company), Dutch Lady, BAT and Sime Darby. Still wonder why I still targeting MNC, I also wonder why, haha. The reason is because all these companies are near to my current location, just few kilometer for my house. Just put a little hope for me so that I can go interview easy with my kapchai.. :P

Bless for me for my day. enjoy ^^

Achievement after graduate 101010 Sunday

We had gathering in 1 Utama yesterday, total 5 of us attended this gathering. We plan to have a gathering every month with our coursemates which work or study in this area. Gathering, of course we have chat a lot and update the current life after we graduate for nearly 4 months. In summary, total got 3 of our members chose for further study, the rest are all working in different field; 5 in central area, 4 in Singapore, 3 in Penang, 1 in JB. 

Just know that few of us already change their job in within 2 months they spend in the company. I not know the reason they change their job, and most of the reason is they want to get the higher pay. Some work in Penang already shift to Singapore, and I know the rest will also slowing shift to there too due to the currency rate different. Some even can get more that the amount my company paid me, and again they are in SGD.

Now I realize that it is quite difficult for me to save money in PJ due to the expenses is too high compare to other area. My friends rent a house that got 3 rooms, the rental is only 300 bucks per months (somewhere in Shah Alam and Klang area). Some becomes home tutor for 2 kids, 60 bucks per hour. Some work in Shah Alam there, remuneration and grow in the company is much more better than me, and they told me that is an easy job and you can go back everyday sharp in 5.30pm. Some told me they work late, but they can claim all the OT … these few statement keep on flash in my mind, maybe I’m currently in the slow moving lane? Why I need to work late but cannot claim the OT? And it take my chances for being a home tutor too at night after work…  but maybe I’m not the ambitious one.. blek.

Instead of keep asking why, I need rather adjust back my current moving lane, define back what is the thing that is important to me. I easily brain washed by other individual, from colleagues and friends around me as well. These will all make me to hesitate and confuse, wander left and right, thinking of change job, change working area, to speed up myself to save more money. Talk is super easy, but hard to implement. I know that I need to be firm and get all the thing stable first before I can make changes on it. Stay firm and do my best in the current position, this job maybe cannot secure me for a good future, but I know that there are a lot of other thing that I can learn through it, keep learning everyday, new challenges, and look back, I really can see a significant changes and improvement I done and I gain week by week. Haha, why I describe my current company so badly, come on wei, we are MNC leh, one of the dream company for fresh graduate.

Hi , good day Ah Huam, gambate.

What is the plan recently? 2 October 2010

I had leaved out my blog for 2 weeks, since I went back hometown last weekend. Anyway, that is a very nice 2 days spend and I plan to go back once a month, to recharge back everything and sure I miss everything in my hometown, my family, friends and everything. Thanks for my friends that always come out and making fun around together, even sometimes, it is quite lame, but we always enjoy the ‘lame’.this blog nothing related with these pictures, just I like these pictures captured by ES, nice snap.

This time went back I get to know that my cousin going to marry already. This cousin is 4 years old older than me, and he got his plan for marry once he step out from university. He work in Singapore for 4 years plus, and seem getting rich, manage to get a new house in SP that cost 300+ K, expenses for honeymoon cost about 20K to Europe… Haha, good job and I will try to attend the wedding in this month very soon.

Recently start to think of a lot of thing, other than working, need start to plan for my own financial planning. Almost 3 months I had been here, I plan that I can save about 50% of my monthly income. 50% is quite high, but this is not impossible for me to do that, because for now I didn’t have much commitment.

Not how much you can earn, but how much you can save. If I can work in SP, sure I will save a lot… :PQE, all girls, my name is Quota

me and our technicians 

Guna last day

Last week got a lot of activities in the company, colleagues’ birthday, farewell for colleague. The turnover in my department is high, and new colleagues will join us very soon too, to fight over the huge workload and stress. Anyway, bon vogaye and enjoy your new working life in the new company. :)Hari Raya Potluck, thanks for the very nice Malay traditional food.

Flip flop Trend 19 September 2010

Flip flop trend of feeling now existing in my mind. I not know what I can do to overcome this feeling, sometimes it very worst, sometimes it is okay, but it never been well, unless it is holiday. I know this is kinda come from my attitude problem, and affected by people around me in the group. I’m helpless, try to survive, I believe this is the transition period, and I will finally adapt to it, but the adapting process can be quite painful for me until sometimes I got a very strong intend to give up, but after calm down, I feel that it is still okay for all. For this moment I again want to express special thanks to my very special friend, always give me support, and change all my negative to positive, or at least neutral it. No point to keep complaint and ranting, better keep my mind calm and do what I can. – simple philosophy, but hard to implement… haha.

Yesterday got chat with my coursemate, he also almost facing the same problem with me, and again I understand this is the different between study and working. Some resign in the first day working also got, some work happily. I know I am not the only one facing the problem, just can categories in a bit unlucky one, but look from other perspective, we are the lucky one because we encounter it in the earliest of the working life, much more better if we only face it when we are nearly retire.

Stop to talking regarding work.

This week I got plan to go back home, my sweet home that I miss it so much, the place that I can feel that I am protected. I know I’m the manja one, especially when facing something unhappy, haha. I plan to take one day leave to go back, it is not worth for me to go back for 2 days, minus the minor one, only left one day.my moon cake, you told me it is a mini one

Today I received a moon cake, I keep it in refrigerator already, yum2. Thanks a lot. Every time meet you I also feel that you are very knowledgeable. Haha, ganbate ya. 

Thank you 12 September 2010

I had leaved this blog for almost a month, and now I need to continue my little space. The reason for this post is I want to appreciate special thank to my special one. Recently I become down due to different type of stress that pressing me. Fortunately, there are always somebody with their endless support. I feel very touch. I can overcome a lot of thing when you give me scourge, scourge for me to continue the tough one. Sometimes just feel that it is not easy, but I know what should I do. I know that all the good thing are waiting for us, at least now we are more close in distance, target destination, and soon will work for our same target. This is the last semester for somebody, and you told me all your plans are queuing in line with the timeframe. I am also glad to listen to that; I know these are your target for these few years. I know you tire, you always is my model, Rambo ^^

The feeling coming back again, but I know it is normal. 12 September 2010

Mid of September already, had been here for 2 months, a lot of thing happen recently, and I had stressed up by the tone of workload, company inter-personal issue… many and many. It can be easily detect out from my face, and I start to scare going to work every day, anxious and feel helpless. Now I feel like I need to have a new mind set, for doing everything. After calm down in these 3 days, I know the first thing I need to do is to overcome the feeling of “fear”. Don’t easy get panic when the trouble is happening, just do it as you can, if it is over myself capability, and I cannot solve it, I will ask for guidance from senior. The problem is they are not so helpful, and I feel very suffer when I’m in the middle of 2 difference parties.

Ya, this seem is a ‘rant’ blog for me, allow me to rant it out. I just don’t like:

You all say all is about common sense. The flow of the work is too subjective, you all please don’t tell me this is common sense, I will feel more comfortable if you all tell me that is about experiences. Please guide me more with more patients.

Tomato manager please guide me la, you are suppose be my shield, not in versa vice. When I ask you for advice, I don’t like you tell me you don’t know, and ask me to ask other people with your unpleasant voice. Be brave a bit.

Haiz, not good to rant too much, I know this is just a small portion of the troubles I facing, there are more and more queuing behind. The only one I can advise myself is pay more attention and patient, see and go through for a few months before give up, because I believe when I overcome all of this, my experience will teach me well. Even I try a new job, new challenges will come to me too. Now, take this challenges in WD, after overcome this tough one, I will become tough too indeed. Give myself another 3 months, let say it is not suitable for me, just go with what I wish to do.

Anyway, thanks for this job, because now I realize that a lot of thing is not so important, and now I more cherish everything I have, especially moment with the love one, family, friends. Priceless. Gogogo, I support myself. It is not easy for you to move to KL, don’t give up. Yeah2
