5th Anniversary

Today is my blog's fifth anniversary. Wow, time flies!

Five years, it's five years without any notice. I was quite shocked when I realised that I had operated this blog for five years. Of course, if you're my loyal reader, then you would notice the progression or the change that this blog had been undergone. I believe you know what I mean.

Frankly speaking, I don't know what should I write recently. I hardly find a topic to write. Anyway, I'll try my best to maintain this blog no matter how.

Share a picture with you guys.

This picture was taken on Monday where I visited Greentown for the first time. It was also my first time to eat the famous Ipoh Tauge Chicken.

An Optimistic Lady

I met an optimistic lady on Tuesday. She was friendly enough to chat with me. She was thirties but she had some diseases. 

Initially, she told me that she wanted to keep fit. However, I didn't think that she was fat, she had a healthy body shape instead. She was so eager to have a boyfriend but she also knew that she couldn't make it due to her diseases. 

She inherited diabetes from her family few years ago. Moreover, her backbone had some problems. She had two operations before on her spinal cord. She revealed that she had to suffer the operation every five years but please be reminded that she had diabetes which hindered the wound from healing up quickly. Besides, it cost RM50,000 for each operation. Ergo, she dares not to burden her partner.

Even though she lived in Permata but I had never seen her before. She was very worried about her operation because if the doctor fails in the operation, then she'll be coma throughout her entire life. 

Nonetheless, she was satisfied and happy with her present life. She was so happy that she could work. She used about two years to stand and walk after her first operation. Physiotherapy is a must after every operation. That's the most suffering moment!

She doesn't blame but appreciate what she has now. I salute her.

成功是失败之母？

“失败是成功之母”乃我们常听的，但是“成功是失败之母”又如何呢？

大家同意吗？这个星期，我常听我的manager说这句话。理由很简单，我们常常自以为是，总是认为我们的那一套是最好的。因此我们经常不会那么容易接受别人的意见，简单来说就是固执！

没错，我们以前的成就是因为我们当时的那一套而成功的，但是我们是否又有考虑过我们曾经的那一套已经过时了呢？科技演变很快，地球一直在转，世界也不停在改变，因此我们绝对不可以只是坐在那里。相反的，我们要与时并进，时刻自我提升，这才是成功之道！

别再被我们以前的那一套冲昏脑袋了，我们是时候改变了！

Communication Skills

One of the websites that I subscribed sent me a link to purchase its e-book regarding how to make people love you. As usual, I wouldn't spend money online. Luckily, there were ten lessons given to me free of charge.

Up to today, I just received five lessons. Most of them had been conveyed by my manager and I actively practise them recently. I can't say that I successfully master them but they definitely help. For your information, I don't have good communication skills. I was arrogant, selfish and irritating to some people. These were the impressions that I gave them. 

Alright, I try to remedy now. However, I was over sometimes. Hence, people said that I was pretending. I have no idea as to how to entertain people. Well, this is part of the learning process. I'll take it open-heartedly. I try to make friends around.

I hope that after the 10 lessons, I can be another man. Happy Father's Day!

Earning Money Online

Sometimes, it's good to meet a lot of people. This is because we can meet different people with different background, experience and skills.

I met my secondary school mate last night. He was doing good at his study and career. He revealed that he was involving in earning money online via the so-called affiliate program. Honestly, I do the same as well. For example, Google AdSense on the right and the Rakuten.com on the above. However, when he told me that how much he made really astonished me.

What he made in one month was far higher than what I earned since 4 to 5 years ago. Frankly speaking, in my account, my accumulated earnings were not even 25% of his one month earning. Bizarre, isn't it! He shared with me his way of doing it and I really appreciated it a lot. 

Even if it was not much, imagine, how about an extra of US$100 every month? Don't you want to grab it? Now I only know how to make money online. Of course, it won't be my main way to generate income, at least, not now but I do hope to do it in the near future. Who doesn't want extra income, don't you?

It was a nice two-hour conversation after all. Thanks for sharing with me and I look forward for next appointment.

New Chapter

Well, well, well, it was the end of my audit life on Thursday. Frankly speaking, I did miss the office, the environment and my fellow colleagues that day. Hence, I stayed until 6:45 p.m. before I left the office. 

Now, it's a new chapter in my life and I will take this seriously to strive for my dream. It's not an easy decision to make and I struggled for quite some time. Well, everything's fixed now and life has to move on. I've my own plan starting from next week and I hope that I can accomplish them one by one. 

I do set small targets for myself which will eventually lead me to my ultimate dream. Actually, things are pretty easy to do, however phobia is the main issue. Hopefully I can annihilate it as soon as possible. Let's see whether I can do it in seven-month time. 

I made the decision since I didn't want to keep complaining anymore. Hence, I need a change. It's absolutely a breakthrough for me. If it can be accompanied with some success, then it would be great for me, my family and anyone around me. 

Let's not to think too much and be positive. I ought to be persistent and fight until the end. First of all, self-discipline is a must now. I must have the discipline and foster a good habit which can lead me to success. Luckily I have a few good 'schools' where I can perfect myself here. It's a serious challenge now and I won't take it lightly anymore. It's a destiny changing process and I want to be the winner.

Let's hope for the best and let the bygone be the bygone.

Objective Setting

Initially, last Friday was my last day in BDO. However, my manager hoped that I could stay until finishing my files. Since there are quite a number of colleagues taking study leave, hence I agreed but I told myself that I would stay at most one more week.

Ergo, I need to set objective now. I had discussed with my manager yesterday and he gave me a suggestion. A suggestion that can help me to be promoted into Unit Sales Manager in one and a half year time. It sounds  attractive but I know the challenge is there. We have some ways to achieve it. Now, just let the bygone be the bygone. I will contribute my effort and I hope God see it.

This afternoon, we attended an activity at Chai Leng Park. I knew some new friends over there. They were more than willing to share with me their experience, knowledge and skills. I asked them a few questions, including but not limited to how they start their career, how to maintain the consistency and so on. Since there were many people succeed and thus I believed that I would be the next one. 

It was quite fun to see my old colleagues were there lending their helping hands all voluntarily. For your information, they even organised a blood donation campaign yesterday which I did take a bit of parts. I was very happy that I could help some people. Frankly speaking, I did sms to quite a number of people, asking them to join this campaign but I just received a reply from my BFF, the rest were disappeared. Well, it was okay. Let's be honest, I didn't donate my blood too. Since the response was quite good, hence they planned to organised it quarterly. Maybe I'll donate my blood that time but let's find more people to accompany me.

Well, I have my goal in mind and I have my way to achieve it now. Nevertheless, there are always obstacles along the road to success. Hopefully I can overcome them with the support from my manager and the Group. Let's hope for the best!

Blackout

As all of you may know, Barisan Nasional (BN) won the Malaysia Thirteenth General Election last week. I didn't stay with the updated news in front of the television since I was too tired. 

Hence, I received bad news on the next day, which was BN won the election on federal level. Nonetheless, what was so irritating was that the blackout incidents in a few areas. Ergo, many people felt unfair and expressed their voices on Facebook. It was very funny to see some of them asking help from Barack Obama, Australia government and etc.. Some of them even mortified our Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Najib bin Razak by tagging him on the Facebook. 

He became the best magician in the world in just one night! As usual, I don't concern too much in politics but I do care about the fairness. Equality is what I'm looking and fighting for! We want a government which is accountable to the public! Please step down when the time comes, don't anger the public again. It's no point to own the position by unethical means because the world is looking at you. If you're so eager to serve the public, then just do your best when you're in the service tenure. Do you understand what I mean?

Yesterday, I was having a blackout. It proves again, we can't judge a book from its cover. It doesn't necessary mean the same from its appearance. After all, human beings are the most complicated animals in the world. Whatever it is, I'm okay now. Whenever I recover from something, I grow stronger. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!

Malaysia General Election 13

Today is the day for Malaysia General Election 13. As a first time voter, I did do my part. I went to the venue, after I finished my tuition class. 

It was sad that I went there at 11a.m., but I was back at 2p.m.. Three hours time, I didn't understand what they did. How could they drag our time so long? This really pissed me off. Frankly speaking, I did think of giving up but I changed my mind at last. 

I completed the whole process within 2 minutes because I didn't really look at the name of the candidates. Instead, I voted according to the logo of the candidates. This was because we supported the superior and policy of the party but not the candidates.

Now, the news is on air. I'm glad that Penang is safe. Penang is still under Pakatan Rakyat. Hopefully, we can have a new government soon. Actually, it's not bad to change our government since they had governed our country for 55 years but look at what they did in the past! It's okay to have a new government, if they don't do well, then we can change again. It's okay to tolerate for another 5 years instead of another 55 years.

There were quite a number of songs regarding the politics in past few weeks. I was fed up with the advertisements on the radio, television and newspapers. The Barisan Nasional (BN) dared to attack the opposition directly instead of saying what they could do for us or how could they mitigate their weaknesses.

One of the statements that disgusted me so much was the one advertised in Kwong Wah Yit Poh. The BN said, "Penang people or 'Penangites' are having April Fool everyday"! What did they mean? Are we a fool? If we keep trusting you, then we're really a damn fool!

Since then, no matter what statements they came out, I felt that they were threatening us! I felt really unsafe! Ergo, it's time to change. UBAH!

人必自侮，然后人侮之

上个星期一，我的老板(Partner)在我下班回office时召见了我。我很淡定，因为我早有心理准备！

跟我的Principal所说的一样，他第一个问题就是为什么我要辞职？可是，不管我怎样解释，他都不接受，仿佛Audit就是我的生命一样！有鉴于此，我也开始懒得解释了，因为他根本没有站在我的立场想。

他开始用我是经过他朋友介绍才进去工作这一点来攻击我。或许，我该说是心理战，这是我之前所未预测到的。不过，没关系啦，即时我的情绪有些变化，那就是生气，但是我克制得很好，并没有表现出来，同时我丝毫没有改变我的想法。

其中几句就是：“你是人介绍进来的，你这么快就走，不会觉得什么吗？”、“你这么快就走，那改次他介绍来的，我还敢用吗？”等。听好，这只是其中两句，其余的一律免提。虽然他说的每一句，我都有应付的话术，但是我还是尊敬他，没有当面顶他。但是，当我忍无可忍时，我说：“对，我是人介绍进来的，但是我的resume有send给你看啊。如果你觉得我不qualify，你也不会叫我来interview，对吗？”

你们知道他的反应是什么吗？“你这样说，我没有话说了咯！”，这就是他的反应。接下来又是一轮看不起我的对话。没关系，我只是回他一句：“我相信他（介绍我来的人）也会respect我的decision。” 猜猜看，他又如何回应我？“哇，你才几岁，这样说话的咩？”，这便是他招架我的回答。

整个过程里，都充满着他的瞧不起、冷言冷语。。。。。。而我只是回了他两句他比较大反应的话，而且我的笑容是挂着的，语气也很和善，语调也很低。他简直就是要跟我撕破脸！为什么不能尊重我的决定？为什么不能好好讲呢？我都低声下气了，而且我想跟你好聚好散！为何你就不领情？

心理战，对我可是行不通的！算了，我也有了我的结论，那就是他身为一个Partner，说话竟然比我差！那么没水准！我更加不会内疚、遗憾！反之，我更欣赏我的Principal。这个世界上，并没有说你是长辈、Partner、老板，就高高在上，而我们就只有接受你攻击的份儿！正所谓“人必自侮，然后人侮之”。

那天，我半夜三点才回家，因为我在赶我的review point和APT。第二天一早，当我的老豆知道我回家的时间及被老板的训话之后。很意外的，他支持我。他还告诉我，既然都打算不要做了，那就不必留情，该出口的时候出口，好让他知道我们并不好欺负，同时给他一个教训，这个世上并不是人人都得听命于他的！

他还告诉我，这世上的雇主与员工之间是没有我所谓的好聚好散，即使是亲戚也一样。他就给了我一个例子。其实，我可以不要加班的，反正我还剩三个星期，而且我加班并没有得claim的。但是，我不想成为一个不负责任的人。我不想让其他同事收拾我留下的烂摊子。我尽力啦，因为我现在手头上还有两个files，还有即将来临的review points。

跟我的Partner“交流”之后，更使我motivated。我一定要成功给他看！就好像我跟我的同事开的玩笑--三年后，我便驾着Mercedes Benz来撞他的Toyota Camry。
