Tronoh Tales

Year 2005, the year I first stepped my foot on this land. Together with a number of school-leavers who aspired to pursue our dreams, we started to acclimatize ourselves with this foreign territory and get to know the people who came from different corners of world.

Seeking knowledge in this alma mater is one thing, and for sure, it had never been easy. But the real challenge is how we survived to overcome the obstacles that were laid ahead of us. The language barrier, cultural differences and many more had somehow moulded us to be resilient and not to give up easily. But yet, these shortcomings colour our life in here and opened up new perspective on how we see the world now.

The time flies, and enter year 2010. After years of hardships, failures, heart-breaks, we finally came to the end. I wish to congratulate all of us who have been able to surpass our own limit, and here we are the graduates of UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI PETRONAS. Happy Convocation!

p/s: Engineering futures, are we ready now?

PIPE 65

Last month I attended a 16-days induction course for new staff of this NOC I am working now. Well, as the name implies, it involves of indoctrinations and briefings about the business and operation of this NOC. It opened a new perspective on me who is just started working after completing my studies in UTP.

There was a lot of activities that promotes team-spirit, soft skills and also talks on HR matters. I am very grateful to be employed with this NOC as this company really emphasize on the development of the employees. Despite the fact that the pay is the lowest in the industry, there a lot of opportunities for the employees so that they can carve their own career development path. Furthermore, I see this as an opportunity to serve for the nation although this NOC operates like other business entity, to make profit.

I am looking forward to develop my career with this NOC while constantly eyes for new opportunities in the future.

Wake Me Up When September Starts

Anticipating eagerly for the month of September 2010 to come. Happy, relieved, thankful to the Almighty, nervous and excited are all combined. The feeling is indescribable.

So many forms need to be filled up.

So many documents need to be photocopied and verified.

Lots of places need to be visited.

What a hectic life I am enduring right now, I hope I can just sleep until somebody wakes me up when September starts.

I will prepare myself to face up new challenges ahead. :)

My PC is finally online!

Benda-benda Yang Tak Wujud di Guardian

Bermula dari hujung bulan lepas, bermulalah kerjaya aku sebagai pencacai pekerja separuh masa di Guardian Banting (kod cawangan: BTWB). Gaji yang ditawarkan taklah lumayan mana, kadar piawai untuk kerja sambilan, RM 3.50/jam. Bidang tugas aku termasuklah jadi juruwang, sapu sampah, mop lantai, layan pelanggan dan membantu dalam apa-apa hal di kedai jika diperlukan. Secara keseluruhannya, kerja di situ memang agak 'enjoy' dan santai dengan rakan sekerja serta bos yang sempoi. Kira bolehlah bekerja untuk mengisi masa lapang daripada menanam anggur di Farm Ville yang tak mendatangkan hasil tu. Kalau betul-betul jadi petani moden menanam anggur tu ada juga faedah dan pulangannya kan.

 Muka seorang pekerja yang berdedikasi

Walaupun ramai orang tahu fungsi Guardian sebagai sebuah kedai yang menjual barangan berkaitan kesihatan, kecantikan dan penjagaan diri, ada juga orang yang sengal otaknya dengan bertanya jika barang-barang yang pelik ada dijual di Guardian. Apa-apa hal pun, pelanggan sentiasa betul kan... Antara barang-barang pelik yang penah ditanya ketika aku bertugas adalah:

1. Rokok (Benson 20 batang - gile veteran hisap Benson & Hedges lagi, orang sekarang hisap Saat lah, hahaha~)
2. Pelembut fabrik (Softlan)
3. Sirih (wtf?!!)
4. Sabun basuh baju (makcik, Econsave dekat, Megah pon dekat je, kat situ ada jual)
