Salam Aidilfitri..

Says Alhamdulillah...

 

 Iklan ni membuatkan air mataku bergelinangan. I'm not really a tears kind of person but this commercial can do so to me. I'm easily touched by person with disability especially children because I just can't imagine myself being in their shoes. Alhamdulillah I've been living for more than a quarter of a century and blessed with good hearing, good sight, able to speak (cuma pelat 'R' je) and having all limbs intact. Whenever I see someone with disability, I always asked myself what have I done with all those ability which I am blessed with?? Does it have any values in front of Allah later?? Ya Allah, jadikanlah aku seorang hambaMu yang bersyukur. Jadikanlah setiap pancainderaku ini bermanfaat pada agamaMu.

25 huh??

Alhamdulillah. Aku diberi umur yg panjang utk melihat dunia ni. Today I'm 25. I'm not sure for how long the number will keep on going. Nevertheless, thank you Allah. There is nothing much I hope from my birthday. Umor yg panjang ni bole jadi satu rahmat kalau kita bijak menggunakannya. Tp ia juga bole jadi satu perkara yang akan dipersoalkan di hadapan Allah kelak jika kita tidak menggunakannya dgn baik. Aku harap biarlah umur ini menjadi rahmat untukku. Aku harap ianya tidak akan dipersoalkan ketika aku berjumpa dgn Pencipta satu hari nanti. Aamiin. Thanks for all the wishes and prayers. I really appreciate it guys. =)

Something is making me a bit anti-social.

Yupp.. You've read it right (the title). Recently, a lot of my friend settled down. I mean getting married. And most of them invited me to their walimatul urus. However, I turned down most of it. Some of it is because I've got another important thing to do. But most of it because I don't want to go. Luckily for the time being, the one who got married is not what I consider as a very close friend. We are friend but not a close one. When I think about it, I thing I might've got the answer why I don't want to go. It's because I don't want to draw so many question which my friend will ask about me. And most importantly, I don't want to let myself down by looking at my friend having earn their own money from their own job or buying their own car by their own earning. Let's face it, I'm the only one (that I know) who haven't left student years yet. I'm the only person who are still struggling with my bachelor degree. I've got nothing to shout about myself. Sorry friends. I will not coming to any of you're walimatul urus for at least the next one and a half year. Because I'm not prepared to face the shame yet.

An insight of a working environment.

Ok. First of all, I'm not actually working yet. But since last Monday, I'm doing my internship with WD throughout my semester break. So I roughly have the idea of the working environment of WD.

This is not my first exposure to the working environment. I've worked in a few government organizations before on a temporary basis but this is my first exposure to the working environment in a private sector as a professional (working at McD as a crew does not count here). All I can say that the differences of private and government sector is vast. When I worked with the government, the peoples and even the officers has a lot of time to chit chatting with each other. Not in WD. The engineers come at 8am, turn on their computer to do their report, go to lunch at 12pm (sometimes later), get back to their working desk at 2pm (sometimes earlier), continue with their report and finally go back at 5.20pm (usually later). this life cycle continues for every day. They are so dedicated towards their work that they hardly talk to each other. And if they talk, it is usually academic. No time for chit chatting. Yes, it is good for the organization but it is lifeless! Sorry to say that. I'm not sure if this is the culture of WD or the nature of the job itself but that is my observation in a week. However, there are a few good things about WD. They have a more lenient dressing code as compared to the government. You can wear smart casual for work. That includes jeans. Secondly, the working hour is flexible. You can come between 8-9. For instance, if you come at 8, you can go back at 5.20. If you come later than 8, you have to make up that time. So that's it.

P/s: I really need to polish my english. English is the first language in WD and it is fair to say that I'm not a really good english speaker. Or even writer as you can see here. :)

Goodbye 2011. Welcome 2012.

2011 will come to an end very soon. And how do I sum up 2011? Well, I didn't usually give an F about leaving a year (pardon my vulgarity there. After all, it is just an alphabet). For me years are only a set of number which change once in 365/366 days. However, I think 2011 is a very interesting year for me. Interesting in away that a lot of things happen in my life during the year of 2011. But I'm going to keep that to myself okay.

Hopefully 2012 will bring many good things to me in a number of ways. Hopefully the bad things that happened in 2011 will not occur again and improvements over 2011 will take place in 2012. That's all for 2011. I'm humbly wishing you all a happy new year!

P/s: Please be wise on spending your new year. It is better to do some reflection on what happened in your life a year before. :)

HEIGIP

You may remember that I went to the interview with Western Digital regarding the HEIGIP. Well, alhamdulillah. I got it. I don't know how because honestly, I didn't feel confident at all with the interview. Whatever it is, I got it. Praise to Allah.

To be honest, there are a few reasons why I'm not putting too much hope from that interview. Firstly, as I mentioned earlier, my parents wants me to work with the government. Secondly, I'm not a laboratory kind of person. If I do the internship with them, for sure I will be placed at the laboratory because of my major in chemistry. So, I just did my best during the interview but not having too much hope for it. Besides, my CGPA is not very strong as compared to the others.

Although it makes me think that maybe I'm now connecting the dot previously marked for me. Maybe He is trying to show me the way in which I should go. Because I'm a human. I need a lot of guidance. Although I prefer to work as an administrator, maybe that work is not suitable for me. As I always say, we may not get what we want. But He definitely gives us what we need. Maybe this is what I need.

However, this is only for internship. It is not necessary that I will end up working with Western Digital because there are a lot of selection procedure I have to undergo before they decide to hire me as their chemist. So this is just a mere 1st step for me. It is still early to make a conclusion.

I do hope for the best for my life. Pray for my success guys. I hope the path I take will bring prosperity to me in 'dunia wal akhirah'. Amiin...

Yupp. I was interviewed by NTV7. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to see myself on TV.
