This is my first official day @ maxis tower.
Have been spending the entire last week having orientation @ menara sunway and i felt extremely exciting about working in menara maxis...
1 thing i m sure myself right now is i m damn satisfy with the job that i have so far... apart from there are no female colleages from my batch, the rest have been perfect. not to mention having a bunch of good buddies colleages and a extremely good leng lui supervisor.

this is my desk....


backing avenue k... though not the nicest view of all.
but i still love it very much...

Oh ya, went yum cha with my cousin last sat and discovered a nice place to chill out... a cafe near menara maybank, or bursa malaysia...
we ordered some really nice own-baked woodfire pizza and some beer.





the "look-out" from the cafe. nice view?

I am so glad that I can now stop to attend all the interviews.
I had attended too many of them, and I am just sick of it.
Thank God that now it's all over.

2)Accenture X 1 (unsuccessful)
3)British American Tobacco X 5 (unsuccessful)

Anyway, these are all history. I am extremely looking forward for my work tomorrow =)

Every year, I am deeply impress by the creation of local Malaysian advertiser, especially during the festive season.
I accidentally saw this adv on TheStar online, and was fortunate enough to find it on youtube as well. So, enjoy guys...

As the title says, I really feel like I am on top of the world right now.
I am so so so freaking happy right now that I dont even know how to explain it in words...
I have been living in hell for the past few months, getting stress from every angle... friends, relatives who keep on asking on my whereabouts for jobs.
and, today, I am so proud to inform everyone that I gonna start working this Monday!!!

I am just feeling so great right now, it's like I had threw away all the "batu-batu" which has been weighting on my shoulder for the past 2 months.

To this day, I have turned down 4 job offers, and I was just worrying yesterday being to take up the 2 job offers on Monday, or to wait for a better company. And I am so glad that I have the answer today.

I am going to work in Maxis this Monday. It's under the "Management Graduate Trainee Program", which I had the last stage of interviews by 2 board of directors like 3 weeks ago. Initially, I really thought that this chance is gone, but i am so over the moon right now.

I have been reading bible everyday since the interview, praying, committing and I really thank God for what is happening today. By going through all this process, I not only got the job, but also had my faith increased. Hallelujah...



Just like this, on "top of the world" staring out on New York city skyline.
P/s: This place is called "top of the rock", which is on top of the Rockefeller Center, NY.

Life is...

Full of ups and downs

You can never predicts what's happening tomorrow nor decided what's the best decision you gonna make for your life

It’s indeed the situation I m facing now...

Doubtful of the best decision ahead of me

You’ll need to have the foresight in order to be successful in life..

Damn, that’s the reason between the rich and the poor

Tired. I am just tired of all the interviews.
As many of you may have know, I have been to tones of interviews and to this day, I am real tired.

Speaking of which, I have to make up my mind in the direction I should go even on this coming Monday. I have 2 offers to accept on Monday, and 1 interview appointment with a company here in KL. I wish I really can like be like "naruto" in the anime to "kagenbanshinojutsu (shadow multiplication technique)" and to be at 3 different places at the same time.

If you were me, which way will you go?
Let's see...
Option 1: Marcus Evans Job offer
It's a conferences sales job. If you don't sell, you don't eat. As simple as that.
And, many have feedback me that this is not such a good place to start.

Option 2:Sales and Marketing Executive Job offer in a Singapore Biotech firm
It's a small firm, and with the presences of me, it is expanding to be a 8-men company.

Option 3:Attending interview with ING
.....

What will you do if you will me?

I am already tired of keep on waiting for phone calls.
I am currently waiting for 2 job offer calls, but it seems to be taking forever...
and, I am also in the middle of interview process with 4 or 5 companies.
I am just sick of attending all this interviews and doing all of this over and over again.

I am really hoping that the 2 companies that I am waiting for, are giving me favorable answer ASAP. pls...
