A Sharing

Recently, I am having training program regarding the banking regulation structure. The trainer was a lawyer with about 20 years of experience in the field of law. I was really impressed with his class because the class was really full of joke and fun. I think everyone presented in the class have the same perceptions. In addition, I have learnt a lot of knowledge regarding the banking regulation structure and hopefully, I will not get bullied and exploited by peoples who thought they know more and thought they are always the correct one…..

Other than the knowledge of banking regulation structure, we have share a lot of opinions and ideas related to our life, relationship, sex, love and etc. I have really grow more due to the training program and now I would like to share out the ideas that I perceived to be correct and worth to be take notes to all my friends especially my female friends…..

1. Bear in mind do not ever buy a house together with your boyfriend in which the house is registered under the joint name of you and him. It’s worthwhile to take note that when you buy a house under a joint name with him, you are actually holding ½ undivided share and he hold the rest of ½. As the name shows, UNDIVIDED. This would mean that the house can’t be divided into portion, for example you own the living room and he own the kitchen. That’s impossible. In addition, when you are about to sell the house, the process require the consent from both of you which means that both of you must agree to sell the house before the house can be really sell off…..

Let’s assume that both of you have been staying together for few years. Then there is one day you found out your boyfriend are “drinking milk at outside” and he even “bring the cow back to your home”. So you realized that he is not the Mr. Good as you think for so long. You decided to separate with him. But then how about the house??? The house can’t be sold off without the consent from both parties. The worst thing is that he might reluctant to pay for the half installment payment after the break but yet he still owned the half name of the house. To solve this problem, if you strict enough, you can default on the future installment and then bank will take back the house and you lost everything you pay previously. However, most of the girl will choose to pay the full installment for the house as they think that they have contributed so much in previous installments. So now who ever get the advantage is the Mr. Bad who does not need to pay any more installments but yet you can’t get him out of the house. Therefore, girls, please think twice before you and your boy friend buy a house under a share registration name…..

2. Now, let’s us talk about sex. For girls, I think most of your parents will disagree that you have sex with your boyfriend before both of you get married. But yet, if you are already an adult and would not mind of having sex with your boyfriend, your parents can still do nothing because it is impossible for them to follow every of your single step. Somehow, it’s hard to say “No’ when the feel has come. But before you really give your precious body to your boyfriend, remember to ask yourself is him the right person that you should give to??? You are crazy about him, but are you sure that he is crazy about you??? If yes, how sure are you???

Guys are very discriminate and selfish human. Not to say all but most of them are. They will prefer their girlfriend is a virgin but they prefer themselves not a virgin. They don’t mind of screwing other girl’s virginity but yet they hope that their girlfriend is a virgin, Hahaha. The story is just like guy loves to see other guy’s girlfriend wear very sexy and but yet they don’t allow their girlfriend to wear sexy wears…..

There is actually an unfair treatment to guys and girls. Not to say the Western culture. Just imagine parents who have 1 son and 1 daughter. Imagine that one day, both of their son and daughter come back to house and at the same time, the son claim that he has screw the virginity of his girlfriend and the daughter also claim that her virginity has been screwed by her boyfriend. Try to think who will be the first that get concern from their parents??? The son or the daughter??? I am pretty sure that it will be the daughter because the culture has treats girl’s virginity much more important than guy’s one. Therefore, guys don’t really mind they lost their virginity and in fact, they will feel proud of it…..

I have heard that there were many girls have actually gave everything of them to their boyfriends. But after some times, they found out that their boy friends were actually not as good as they think. Some have affairs with other girls, some have treated them as sex toys, some have even beaten them but yet they still don’t want to leave the Mr. Bad. Why??? Because they perceived that they have sacrifice so much for the guy and whatever happen, just let it be and they will just open one eye and close one eye. Do you think they are in the state of happiness??? I don’t think so…..

3. Now, let’s talk about getting married. Girls, before promise of getting married with your boyfriend, try to ask yourself how well do you know him??? Is him really the right one??? Make sure the level of happiness after getting married is much more higher compared to the level of happiness as in the status of in a relationship. If it is not higher, then it’s better to stay “in a relationship” rather than “married”…..

4. Following the time, there are many things happen in our life every second, every minutes, every hour and every day. However, try to let things happen rather than make it happen. You should feel more comfortable if you do so…..

Basically, these are all the ideas that I got from discussion. It’s all my subjective opinions and some of you may think of another way round. But yet, it’s just a sharing for all my friends especially the female friends and I wish no offence…..

Well, yesterday was 101010. I have accompany my god brother went to UKM to support performance of his girlfriend. It was actually the UKM’s 31st Tanglung Festival and they organized an opera performance or 歌舞剧. The theme was called Flor de Marriage or 花嫁. Let me explain the story. Oppss, no, I shall say let me copy paste the synopsis from the booklet…..

花嫁有婚纱铁娘子称号的Rose是婚纱店“浪漫世纪”的老板。在2010年2月14日,“浪漫世纪”举办了一场国际婚纱展,获得各界的好评。在庆功宴里,婚纱店幕后大老板---Rose的男朋友Boston,也出现了。回到家里,爷爷奶奶同往常般的催促Rose 赶紧结婚。爷爷奶奶希望可以在有生之年,看到Rose一传统的结婚方式嫁位好老公。奶奶甚至还拿出了传家之宝,希望可以让Rose在出嫁之日穿上。双方为了传统与前卫的思维产生了摩擦。这天,Boston的老婆---Xena来到了婚纱店并警告Rose别再纠缠Boston了。Rose正为此事烦恼之际,助理--- Bruce却向Rose告白了。一早就知道Bruce 心意的Rose表明自己根本无法接受Bruce。最后,Rose成为别人婚姻的第三者的事还是被爷爷奶奶知道了。爷爷奶奶也因此和她起了激烈的争执。Rose的执迷不悔更把爷爷气得高血压入院了。为此,Rose相当自责。面对一连串的突发事件,Rose眼看自己所拥有的一切即将被无情摧毁,再回想起自己与爷爷奶奶的过往,不禁悲从中来,为了完成爷爷的心愿,Rose决定与Bruce举办一个假婚礼,好让爷爷了了一个心愿。最后,发现原来幸福其实就在自己的身边,选择了和Bruce过着一生一世的幸福。

Basically, that’s the simple description regarding the opera. I shall use one word to describe the performance --- AWESOME. If you have read through the synopsis, you might perceive that the story line is actually very normal. Honestly say, for me, the story line is very simple and normal. However, if you have really watched the live opera, it does provide you a sense of marvelous and amazing feel. The overall performance, acting professionalism, stage design, sound and lighting control, songs and dancing performance were really carry in the most professional manner. I was really impressed with it and the performance was really laudable. Calix, if you watch it, I bet you will give a big hand clap. Hahaha…..

Yesterday was 101010 and the President for the event said that 10 represent as a good number among the Chinese, 十全十美. Yesterday morning when I attend the photo session for Fong Li convocation, I did saw many couples taking their marriage photo in the studio. Many couples have got married on the day and I think there should have many “coupling-in-process” couples already officially become lovers yesterday. Well, at least 2 of my best friends did so. Hahaha, congratulation to both of you and I pray that both of you can walk till the end…..

Today is the 13th day and I never think that I can hold that promise for so long. Keep it up ya TEG and I really need some luck in the 15th day. Friends, if you read this, please pray for me on Wednesday. I can’t tell you on what matter it is but seriously, I need your luck. Thank You…..

To Fong Li, I am glad to attend your convocation. Thanks for your invitation : )

To Pei Ting, I am sorry for not able to attend your convocation. See you again =)

Hmmm, I am tired enough, really tired enough…..

A Surprise for Calix, JGA 5268 and Batu Pahat

Last weekend went to visit my best friends, Calix and Chloe in Batu Pahat. Actually, the trip has been planned 1 week earlier secretly with Chloe. Chloe asked me not to inform Calix and she planned to give a surprise to Calix. Then, I am just agreed with her. Ahaha…..

I took a KKKL bus from K.L at 8.30 a.m. and within 3 hours, I reach Batu Pahat’s bus station. After that, I called Chloe for few times but she didn’t pick up the phone. Then I just hang around and walk into the nearby Courts Mammoth to have a look on their furniture. Later on, Chloe called me back and said she will come to fetch me with Calix. I realized that they need some time to prepare and then I have a visit to a nearby guitar store. I was surprised that the Batu Pahat has such a big guitar showroom and a lot of branded guitars inside. Unfortunately, I am not Epiphone Guitar’s fan…..

20 minutes later, I walk out form the guitar store and wait them at the bus station. Then, I saw a Proton Waja, JGA 5268 came to my way and stop beside the road. I realized that Chloe has seen me but Calix didn’t see me. That’s great. I straight away open the car door and shouted “Hello”. Then you know what response that Calix give??? He was so shocked and response “Oooiii”. Hahaha. Well, The same Calix and Chloe, the same smell in JGA 5268, the same doggie inside the car, the same Nike bag and also the same Bossini smiley face. The only different thing is that JGA 5268 is now equipped with MP3 modulator. The first song played was 带我走 by Rainie. Here comes the story…..

Day 1

We have our lunch in an old restaurant. I have forgotten what the food that we ate because that was the first time I tried the food. Hehehe. Anyway, it served with pork meat, Dao Kee, eggs, Pi Tan, bean curd together with a side dish - dumpling skin in soup. My explanation was some how blur but those in Batu Pahat should know I think…..

Then we went to a temple located opposite the restaurant for a praying. It has been such a long time we didn’t go for a pray. Just wish all of us have a healthy life and everything going smooth. Hehehe. Then, directed by Chloe, she brought us to visit a small fisherman village which was very famous with it’s gigantic dragon fish and visitors were allowed to touch on them. The village was extremely nice with it’s living god theme. There were many living god there such as Ocean Dragon King. Then we have also touch on those gigantic dragon fish. Hahaha. We also have an opportunity to have a walk over the lover’s bridge in that village. We have tasted some ice sticks during the walk over the lover’s bridge. Calix and I also agreed that the feel was just like the scene in Ice Kacang Puppy Love. Trust me, if you have watched the movie, you will really have the same feeling when you have an opportunity to travel there. A question arised in the bridge –

Chloe: I am afraid that I will fall into the sea.....

Calix: Don’t worry, I will go to save you by using the perahu there.....

Ooo yaa, I have an opportunity to taste some cutted guavas topped with sour orange skin powder. Oh My God, it’s damm nice!!!

After that, all of us went to watch movie in MBO Cinema located inside Square One Shopping Mall. We watched the Cantonese movie starred by Andy Lau and Carina Lau, Detective Dee. Well, the overall story line is still not bad. The most important thing is, that was the first time I watched movie with Calix and Chloe after graduated from MMU. Oh My God, what I can say is the most enjoyable moment in MMU has come back, the feeling has back. Yeahhh…..

After finished the movie, Calix brought me to a convenient store called 100 Yen to taste it’s shaved ice dessert. The shop was actually a convenient store selling some imported Japan’s products. It has a small corner selling shaved ice dessert as well. I ordered a honey dew shaved ice topped with mango syrup. Oh My God again, I can really say that it was the most tasteful shaved ice dessert that I have tasted in my life. The shaved ice was just so different with the others. Really thanks Calix for brought me to taste such a nice dessert. You really know me so well…..

Then we went to Chloe’s secondary school to fetch her sister because we planned to have steamboat as dinner. I have the opportunity to visit her school and her school was really awesome with those creative hand made art crafts. Hope the students can really 成人成才. After a short visitation, we went to Chloe’s house because she and her sister would like to take a bath. What I can say is her house is really the house of a Taylor’s student. Hahaha…..

Next, it come an unforgettable steamboat dinner session. Calix has brought us to have steamboat in a well known seafood restaurant. The foods were awesome and there were so many live sea foods there. We have steamboat as our main dinner and we ordered a Gan Xiang fried crabs and the well known fried chicken wings which strongly recommended by Chloe’s parents. The steamboat was nice as most of the ingredients were home made and the crab was just tasteful. Sincerely thanks to Calix and Chloe again. Both of you really know and served me very well. A sentence evolved during the dinner:

Kim Thor: Calix, I think this is only the 4th time I have crabbie dinner with you…..

Calix: Compared to the others, you are the one that I have the most many times crabbie dinner with…..

After the dinner session, we went to have a walk in the park where Chloe and her sister used to hang around when they were small. That night, I was welcome with brightly fire cracker as there was a huge event organized in the main field of Batu Pahat. However, an unfortunate incident happened at that night. Chloe lost her hand phone in the park and most probably it was picked up by peoples hang around the park. Hmmm, maybe I am the one who bring bad luck. Can’t believe we just have a pray in temple at afternoon and then unlucky thing straight happen at the night. Chloe, may you be fine and even though we lost all the photos we took on that day, but I believe that the memory will be keep in our memory forever. Cheersss…..

Basically, that’s all for the day 1 and I have a wonderful and sleep well night in Calix’s house =)

Day 2

Calix and I went to fetch Chloe at around 9.30 a.m. and then we headed to Maxis Centre to lodge a report regarding the lost of Sim card and then requested for a new one. Then we passed by a Magnum 4D shop and Calix said want to buy 4 digits of Chloe’s hand phone number. So, I just share together with Calix and maybe I bring bad luck again. We don’t get any prizes…..

Then Chloe brought us to have our breakfast in an old cake and coffee shop. The shop was well known with it’s otak + fried egg bread. Again, the food was very tasteful and I have tasted it’s nasi lemak and egg tart as well. Wow, it just taste so great. I really like the old old feeling in those old old restaurant and Batu Pahat is a place which can offer me the great old old feeling. Looking forward to work there if I was granted an opportunity =)

After the breakfast session, we went to hang around in a shopping mall which I have forgotten the name. I just remember Chloe told me that if I didn’t go to that shopping mall, then I am not considered as been visited to Batu Pahat. Hahaha. We spend quite a lot of times there and Calix did bought some presents for his mom’s birthday and Chloe did bought a new cover for her temporary hand phone. Both of them also bought some books from book store there…..

Next, the last station was a cafe called La Luna if I am not mistaken. We have a tea session there and I have ordered a green tea and mint cheese pie. I like the taste of the mint cheese pie. Can’t believe it’s a good combination between mint and cheese. Chloe, don’t you agree with it??? Hahaha…..

Sharp at 5 p.m, Calix fetch me to the bus station as I have bought the 5.30 p.m. bus ticket back to Bukit Jalil. That’s all for the very short 2 days and 1 night trip. Really thanks Calix and Chloe for organized a perfect tour for me. I have reached Muar and Batu Pahat. Where will be the next station??? Kluang or Johor Bahru??? Hahaha, just wait and see…..

Ooo yaa, today is Gary’s birthday. Brother, I wish you a happy birthday and looking forward for our gig in the end of this month =)

Tomorrow is Calix’s mom, Aunty Pang birthday. Aunty Pang, I wish you a happy birthday and may you in the healthy state all over the time =)

To Calix and Chloe, do remember that:

Bossini once mentioned that Happiness is in the Simple Thing. May both of you find the happiness all the time. Best wishes from me =)

Ice Kacang Puppy Love 2

Ice Kacang Puppy Love doesn't mean the second movie of Aniu but it's my second blog post regarding the movie. Yesterday I actually had an outgoing session with my colleagues in Sunway Pyramid. It’s actually a dinner session and I reached there alone at about 6 p.m. It’s actually my first time entered into the mall and then I decided to walk around alone before I went to meet them. When I walk passed Speedy, the shop was showing a movie where there was 1 botak kid chatting with a 1 small girl. It’s Ice Kacang Puppy Love. I was really stuck there for about 5 minutes and it reminded me a lot of memories.....

I walked into Speedy and the first DVD that I saw was Ice Kacang Puppy Love. It was putted on the top of the first rack near the shop’s entrance. I took the DVD and have a look on it. But then have a simple smile and put it back.....

After that I have a meet with my colleagues, walk around and you know, again I saw another shop showing that movie. Then I was wondering why I keep on get exposure to this movie for almost 2 weeks during my outgoing session in few major shopping mall. Actually, for the 2 weekends, I have hang out with my colleagues to few major shopping mall in K.L and these included Mid Valley, Pavillion and Times Square. During the times when I spent time in these shopping malls, I have already 4 times saws some VCD shops showing this movie and the time in Speedy was the 5th time and after that, the 6th time. All of a sudden, I recalled back the newspaper showed by my housemate regarding the tax charged by Malaysia’s government on the movie, I would really wanted to support Aniu again by purchasing the DVD. But unfortunately, the shop which showed it the 6th time to me was just an electric appliances shop. They were selling LCD and not VCD.....

Then I try to look for a VCD shop and you know, there is a Popular nearby and when I walked inside, again the same movie was putted on the top of the first rack. I have a talk with the promoter and realized that it was the last stock. Wow, not bad. The DVD got a very high demand. Hahaha, without considering much, I took the DVD and paid for it. It’s not only to support Aniu, but I would also like to find back some of the feeling during the days in MMU.....

It’s a great Sunday today and I watched the movie for the second time. The same movie, same plot, same feeling and the same tears from me. Just realized that I did remember everything, everything and everything related to the movie.....

Still remember the first time I watched it with Wei Loon, Johnson and Chun Wei.

Still remember Chun Wei was looking at me when my tears fall down.

Still remember I slept overtime and I rushed to MBO Cinema with Wei Loon to watch it for the second time but when reached MBO, the worker told us cinema room got problem and cannot watch.

Still remember the feeling of upset with MBO and then headed to Jusco and bought some chocolates from chocolate fair before have a dinner with Huey Lian and gang.

Still remember I keep on listening to the theme song, 纯文艺恋爱for infinite times.

Still remember the time when I took out my Ibanez guitar and searching for the chords of the song.

Still remember the song was in G key and started with Em plucking.

Still remember Tyan2 send me a link in Facebook showing the chords of the song and I told her I have already found the chords.

Still remember Tyan2 send me sms teasing me said that she going to watch the movie again and too bad I fail to watch it for the second time and that time I was in Pantai Hospital visit Huey Wang.

Still remember Calix said one of the actress, Angela Chan was well known in the acting industry and Nicholas Teo in the end came out with his sweet smile.

Still remember Calix said the small kid actress and actors of the movie were not very good in acting and there was only one part he impressed which is the time when the small Lee Sinje, looking at the fighting fish and said “I want to become a fighting fish”.

Still remember Calix said that the role that Aniu play in the movie really reflected the true characteristics of Aniu.

Still remember, Wingee likes the 纯文艺恋爱 very much.

Hmmm, looks like the movie really gave me a lot of unforgettable memories during my last semester in MMU. Working life was somehow tired and busy. The 10 minutes before I fall asleep every night were actually used to recall back all the memories happened in MMU especially the last semester. How good is it if I am able to experience all those sweet and happy memories again in my dream. Looking forward for tonight’s dream =)

Here’s a sharing regarding the quote of Ice Kacang Puppy Love:

Mouthful of shaven ice under the hot scorching sun that almost burns your mouth.
The sweet and cold icy feeling that melts before you could even really taste it.
Remember the feeling of First Love or what we call “Puppy Love???”
Sweet yet bitter and it hurts sometimes when your heart is broken,
Before you could even capture the moment,
All that is left behind are the heartbreaking memories.....

Basically I am just copy from the DVD’s cover. Hehehe. This Tuesday will be attached to HQ Branch for training. Wish me good luck.....

I remember, and I still remember everyday.....

毕业

今天,终于正式的结束了我在MMU三年的大学生活,毕业了。一直都带着很期待的心情参加毕业典礼,因为可以再见到很多朋友,今天终于实现了。看到很多朋友,还有教授,又种说不出的开心。

今天早上,5点钟就起身了,因为昨晚在巴生,舅舅家过夜,他家距离MMU Cyber Jaya车程距离差不多一小时,所以今早6点就和爸爸,妈妈和弟弟出发了。

到了MMU,差不多7点了,把invitation card交给妈妈后,就很匆忙的走去register,弟弟就比较可怜,因为不可以进礼堂,所以只好走到另外一间礼堂看live video。Register过后,就直接排队进入礼堂。颁奖状仪式很快就开始,整个毕业典礼只进行了4个小时。

其实今天发生了一些事,也是我很遗憾的事。毕业典礼结束后,从礼堂出来,好不容易找到爸爸妈妈,然后妈妈说弟弟在另外一个礼堂等到很不爽,已经走到MMU里面的Pizza Hut。那时候情况真的很乱,我说先让弟弟等一下,因为有几位朋友会来找我,电话一直在响,又找不到他们,我又很不好意思,所以先要爸爸妈妈等我一下,我先去找他们。过后找了很久,都还是见不到,看到附近是FIT,想说先拿convocation item,排队排到一半,收到Calix的call,因为之前说要meet他,要给他Singapore的souvenirs,又怕他会等很久,所以就跑回去爸爸妈妈那边,想说要拿souvenirs。怎知道找不到他们,打给他们,他们说已经在Pizza Hut那里meet弟弟了。我又不懂Pizza Hut在那里,心想先去找朋友,途中也见到很多coursemates,然后也有跟他们拍照,就这样忘了自己的家人。

过后,爸爸妈妈,还有弟弟回到原先的地方,这时表弟林华,凤丽,沁乐还有可欣刚刚好到,我也回到原先的地方,就跟他们拍照,过后又收到lecturer的call,因为之前答应一定要和他拍照,又不好意思,结果,我又再一次忘了自己的家人,跑去找lecturer。找了很久,还是见不到,就跑回去刚才的地方,结果凤丽就拉我走到一边,很严肃的告诉我说,我的plan很有问题,不管怎样都好,我都应该和自己的家人先拍照。想了一下,我真的是忽略了自己的家人,那时才赶快和他们拍照。

其实,我并没有说把朋友放在比家人更重要的地位,只是刚才的情况真的很乱。我知道爸爸妈妈今天可以见到我毕业,他们是很开心的。在台上排队那scroll的时候,其实我偷偷的想着,妈妈每次都说我不肯笑,所以我心想等下轮到我拿scroll的时候,我一定要笑到灿烂一点,让她开心,结果我是有做到的。我一直都是很顾家的,Calix说过巨蟹座的男生是这样而我是承认这一点的,可是今天妈妈应该会很伤心,看到我宁愿跑这里,跑那里,跟别人拍照,却忽略了自己的家人。

毕业典礼结束了,吃了午餐后,林华载我们回到舅舅家。爸爸妈妈5点会坐的士去机场,而我并没有回KT,因为交通问题,所以会跟林华,凤丽,沁乐先回林华家,吃了晚餐后,再由林华送我去地铁站。因为时间的关系,我们还没有到5点就离开了舅舅家。离开舅舅家之前,我很诚恳的跟妈妈道歉,爸爸妈妈送我出门之前,我很衷心的跟他们说了一声谢谢,那时看到妈妈眼含泪水,妈妈一直都是很泪浅的,可是刚才看到她这样,心里真的有一种说不出的感觉。

在车上,开始觉得有一种害怕,很快就要开始另外一个生活,我真的很怕,我很怕要开始在KL的生活,会很寂寞,很空虚,我很不想,可是真的没有办法,因为现在的我,是把事业看得很重要,真的很希望可以像以前在大学的时候,什么是都有人和我分担与分享。刚才吃晚餐的时候,我都在嘻嘻哈哈的做傻,讲很够力的笑话,朋友们,其实我不是压力大,很多时候都是特地扮出来,因为我不想让自己有时间去想那么多。可是当到了一个人的时候,我还是会流泪。

林华放我在KTM站的时候,当我一个人在等KTM的时候,手握着妈妈送给我的花,心里面想为什么刚才会忽略了家人?爸爸妈妈为了这次的毕业典礼,花了很多精神,时间还有金钱。想着时,眼泪真的控制不到。换火车过后,一个人站在LRT里面,想到刚才和妈妈拍照的时候,明明都已经用相机拍了,她还说要用她的手机再拍一张,我那时还应她说,不用了,相机拍出来的更美,你的手机只是2mp。她什么都没说,只是很坚持的要用手机拍。过后我才知道,她用手机拍了过后,就把照片MMS给她的几个好朋友和同事,她是以我为傲的。想着想着,眼泪又流了出来。

现在的我真的很惆怅。觉得自己是个很没有用的男生,为什么每次到了发生了不想发生的事情后才来后悔,才来道歉。为什么不会阻止不愉快的事情发生呢?这样就不会伤害到别人,伤害到自己。会不会有一架时光机,可以重来一次?开始工作后,真的要把自己变得更加成熟,不再是一个用对不起来解决事情的人。Hopefully, I am able to make it…..

三朵玫瑰,代表爸爸,妈妈还有弟弟,我就是那只毕业熊,没有你们在我背后替我撑着,我不会有今天。谢谢!

也谢谢林华,凤丽,沁乐,可欣,欣颖,林伟的礼物,还有每位朋友的祝福。

Last Night in K.T

Tonight will be the last night for me in K.T. Tomorrow I will be heading to K.L and really don't know when I will have the opportunity to come back K.T again. Going to start a my working life soon and honestly said, I don't really like K.L but thats the only place which I can easily gain experience and it easy for me to gather with my friends. But believe me, I won't be there forever =)

Wondering how my working life will be. Will it be really hectic when I become K.L people??? Hahaha, just kidding. I would rather declare myself as Terengganu and a little bit Melaka people despite of being K.L people. Whatever it is, just hope the luck with me always.....

Convocation is coming and I really can't wait for it. Can't wait to meet all my friends and lecturers. I think the day should be the most happiest day for me started from August because after that, I really don't know what will happen to my life. It's a myth.....

It's just a simple update for this time but I really not sure whether I have the opportunity to update blog or online when I am in K.L later. But most probably is hard. Hehehe. Also, I wish Cin Lo happy graduation day and have a nice sleep with all of your graduation bears tonight. Waiting for you to attend mine also. Ahaha.....

To all my dear friends, see you all in convocation and for those who were working in K.T, take care and see you next time =)

It's All About Banks

Looks like I have not update my blog formally for a long period. Currently I am in K.T, perhaps I just take the opportunity to update it because my connection here would be quite fast.....

RHB Banking Group has offered me a Credit Associates Program. It will get started on August. Therefore, I am going to undergo a busy life in 2 more weeks time. Today I went to reactivate my RHB saving account as requested by the company. It has been a long period I didn't enter into RHB K.T Branch. The branch has finished it's renovation and I was shocked when I saw the new environment.....

The design looks elegant and comfortable. In the middle of the office, there are some cushions provided for customers. The counters were separated into 3 parts, closed counters, opened counters and a front desk counter. In my opinion, I perceived that the separation can really increase the transparency and effectiveness of the business operation. Why do I say so???

Alright. The closed counters are actually those old type counters which we always deal with when we want to deposit or withdraw money. On the other hand, the opened counters deal with customers who wish to apply for ATM Card, Credit Card and also loan if not mistaken. The front desk is actually a help desk which provides numbers for customers to wait for their turn in settling their matters and provide some information, for example to explain to the customers regarding the required documents when they wish to open an account or applying for a loan.....

The effectiveness can be increased in this way. A simple example is, a customer wish to apply for a loan. So for sure he/she will bring the required documents. Then when he/she enter into the office, he/she will approach the front desk counter and the counter will check with him/her regarding the required documents. If he/she bring all the documents, then the counter will assign him/her to the opened counter to proceed the with matter. But let's say if he/she does not bring the required document, then he/she will get noticed and will to go back home to take the documents without wasting the time to queue up and ends up with nothing.....

So when I went to reactivate my account, at first I approached the front desk counter. Then the girl asked for my account passbook and I.C. Once confirmed the two items, she bring me to the opened counter and verify my I.C. After that I was assigned to the closed counter and deposit RM 20 in order to activate my account. Everything settled in just 10 minutes. I think it could be faster if my I.C. don't have problem, hehehe.....

After I reactivate my account and about to leave, suddenly I feel to apply for an ATM Card. Then I went back to the front desk again. The girl then informed me that the staff who specialize in the ATM Card out for lunch. She asked me to come back in 30 minutes times. That time was 2.30 p.m. and I understand that because that is not peak hour and bank's employees usually out for lunch in non peak hour. Then I hang around in the book store nearby.....

After 30 minutes, I get back to the office and when the front desk girl saw me, she quickly assign me to the opened counter. Then I fill in a form which is very simple. It just require my name, I.C, address, mother's maiden name and signature. After that she assigned me to the closed counter and then I wait for my turn. Unfortunately, there is a situation happened in the closed counters. The staff in the closed counter miss out my application form and then didn't process my application. I wait for around 10 minutes and fortunately there is high sensitivity staff sense that I have waited for too long. Then she quickly follow up with my application and I wait for another 10 minutes. After that I got my ATM card and the staff who miss out application apologize to me few times. Hehehe, actually I don't mind about that because there were many customers there at that time and the staff might be too busy. It's normal when someone make a mistake because we have to learn from our mistake. Hehehe.....

When I got my ATM Card, then I went to change my pin numbers and then, the staff from the front desk once again assisted me when she ask me to register an e-banking account. It's just a simple registration and I did it.....

When I was inside the bank, I actually try to observe the working environment there. I deal with 4 staffs in total today and I found out that all of them were very helpful and polite. Also, I found out that the staffs in the bank have a very good relationship with their customers. They seems like already know their customers very well and when customers came in, the staffs straight away greet them and then went to assist them. In this case, I didn't mean for only 1 customers but in fact, there were many.....

Through my observation, I perceive that the company is able to achieve a strong growth in future. They are already growing through the banking products that they have launched and all these are reflected in the public listed share price, RHB Capital. Hopefully, I am able to grow together with the company =)

Finished about the banking experience with RHB Bank and now I share my experience when I interviewed with one company known as ARk@R IngS@Ng. The company declared themselves as the recruiting agent for Maybank Group. The first time I went there for interview was 21th June 2010. They called me and ask me to interview the position as management trainee for Maybank. Then I went there with my friend with full of hope. When we were there, they try to assess us by giving us a role play situation which each candidates have to choose one title and present the title for one minute. After that they interview me but they don't talk about the management trainee, in turn they say ECM Libra has job vacancy and asked me whether I am interested or not. Then they asked me to write an essay and then interview me again.....

3 weeks past and they don't even notify us whether our application fail or success. Then I received a call again from them and they asked me to interview for a Financial Risk Analyst for Maybank. So, I went there again with my friend. When we reached there, they ask us to do IQ tests. Then do the same role play assessment and essay writing again. I told them we have did the same things last time but still they insist us to do again. Alright, fine. Then they interview us and again, nothing about Financial Risk Analyst was mentioned but in turn, they told me about junior relationship executive and ECM Libra.....

Actually I am wondering what happen??? Is the company really the recruiting agent for Maybank??? Or they are just using Maybank's name and asked peoples to interview for a post offered by other companies??? Perhaps, this is the myth.....

That's all about banks from a banking and finance student. Looking forward for convocation to meet the rest of all the banking and finance students. Hehehe.....
