Interview
The job position offer is perfect for you, and you are pleased that have been selected for interview. You dressed your favorite and best dress to give you confidence and impress the interviewers. With some chewing gum inside your mouth to make sure you have a fresh breath for the interview.
The experience should be enjoyable. The interview should be good to improve your own communication skill, where mutual understanding, exchanges of information and ideas, allow both you and your interviewers to reach a decision.
Some people think that interview is for employer to choose on a person to work for them, as for me, I think interview is provided 2 ways choice for employee and employer to decide whether want to work with each other.
And the last part will be the shaky and sensitive part to talk about which is wages that can afford by the company and benefits that can be offer by this company. This might be a turning point to make someone to accept the offer.
So, this is interview.

Group interview just cannot work
Recently I just went for an interview which they organize it with group interview. All candidates will put inside to talk about the question prompt by interviewers.
I found it weird as this might not a good interview method for some people, for people their talent is not talking and skills, they definitely cannot win the job as this is what we call war, and you need to grab your chance to talk more. I had a bad experience in this interview because the other 2 candidates not really good in English and they confused with the question prompt from interviewers and keep talking about something out of the topic.
They really affect my performance because they keep talking none stop and I feel very uncomfortable with the situation and end up I only manage to talk for a while only. I don’t think this is a good idea to have a group interview because you cannot judge every person correctly.
I think one on one interview will be the most effective way to track the individual performance.

Manchester United crowned kings of the world
Last night is the night to remember for Manchester United’s fans because Manchester United was crowned kings of the world by beating LDU Quito 1-0. Rooney scored the winner by 73 minutes into the game and grab the winner after once Nemanja Vidic’s red carded really worried me.
The game is quite slow because opponent’s team Quito is never thinks about winning the game by just sent some attacking force to play the game. They only hope for a draw I think.
With this trophy, Manchester United can added extra trophy records at old Trafford stadium. I hope there are more to come by this year. And they are flying back to england for EPL's matches. Let's see how they get back with a boom.

I hate video & flash ads
I been browsing web site for information, data, and news. And I realize that some website like to put some video and flash ads at the main page of the web site and come out with some irritating sound when viewing their website.
Some irritating flash ads that will prompt you to their site also in the top ranking of my hate thing when browsing to the web site. Some are shouting non stop when you move your cursor over the ads. I think I am getting old which never attract to some idiot idea when come to ads streategy and this kind of ads might make me leave your web site forever.
I think web site owner must think about it when you subscribe and earn money by this kind of affiliate. It will make your web site reputation drop as well if they hate irritating ads like what I feel.
Quiet and interesting graphic ads will be more practical to attract visitor’s attention to browse thru the ads. People prefer simple and easy to understand ads.

2008 is ending soon
Time flies as 2008 is going to end, and it’s time for you to review what you had done for 2008. This year was a bad year for me and I cannot make true my targets that I set by early of the year 2008.
One of the failuires this year is I quit my master degree because of the stupid lecturer delay my progress and force me to end my study because she is not interested to help me. For me is a waste as I have been working very hard this year, but end up because of the lazy lecturer I failed to complete it. Some times world is unfair, but life goes on.
I didn’t switch company to further my enhancement of my career because of master’s degree as I need more free time to do my thesis as this company can provide me this. But end up my career is stuck because of the master’s degree.
What is haven’t happen for last year, I will try to make it by year 2009. I will have to finalize the next year resolution as I need to really make it dream come true for me and have a better next year.

Cactus point @ Cameron Highland
Cactus point can be found beside the road from Tanah Rata to Brinchang. There are a lot of flowers, plant and of course the main course is cactus. Cactus is selling at there cheap, planting accessories can be found at there as well.
Some of the big cactus is not for sell. You only can manage to capture some picture for memories. Friends of mine like cactus so much and she ask me to buy her some as souvenir for her. This is the second time I bought for her. But most of the time she will complain that she already got it. So, if you are a cactus collector, make yourself to Cameron and choose yourself to avoid same kind of cactus in your collection.
If you like planting, make sure you grab some from Cameron Highland because they really take good care of the plant. I got grab some Plants and cactus from the shop and put it at my balcony. Some expert advice can be getting from the promoter there.

Strawberry farm
Strawberry farm is one of the interesting places we went to for the Cameron Highlands trip. My sister is a strawberry lover and she was very excited to see fresh strawberries to be plucked by ourselves in the farm. She loves strawberries so much and has eaten for few boxes during our stay in the Cameron Highlands.
Strawberry Farm
Strawberry farm is a must for strawberry lovers and you can enjoy cheap and yet fresh strawberries. And gifts like strawberry umbrellas, key chains, caps can be a good souvenir for friends. You can also find those gifts selling everywhere in Cameron Highlands.
Strawberry la
Apart from only strawberries, there is dried food produced from strawberry which is good attraction as well, for example strawberry ice cream. They dried strawberry with honey to make money strawberry which I feel very delicious to eat.
I don’t really enjoy strawberry, but I did have some during the trip.

‘BOH’ Tea Centre @ Sungai Palas, Cameron Highland
There are few tea farms in Cameron highland, we only manage to go for the one nearer to Berinchang because of the rain. The tea centre is located at Sungai Palas.
Tea Centre @ Sungai Palas
You need to drive for like 20 minutes from the foot of the hill to the middle of the tea farm and to reach the tea centre. I like the idea of the farm design as we can take a fresh breathe alongside the tea farm and enjoy the natural scenery.
Tea Factory
Tea farm is one of the must-visit places in Cameron Highlands. You can pay a visit to the tea factory there. There is also a multimedia room for visitors to see a short documentary of tea processing and the history of tea factory. After that you can also pay a visit to the factory and to see how they process tea in real life.
Gift Shop
There is a great gift and tea products shop inside the tea centre. You may find it on the way to the tea factory. You can see lots of packaged tea products and some gifts specially made representing the tea farm. I managed to find imported coffee during my last visit, but this time. Now, there are only BOH tea products.
Tea'Ria café
Not to miss the favorite spot of mine: the Tea'Ria Café. It’s actually located at the front part, but normally people will pay a full visit of the centre then get back to the tea café to have some good taste of tea and cakes.
full tea'Ria café view
Tea Farm
So, I strongly recommend tea Centre at Sungai Palas as a must-visit in Cameron Highlands.

Cameron Highlands
Cameron Highlands is one of the tourism spots in Malaysia. What are the interesting places you can find in Cameron? If you are people who like entertainment places like disco and pub, Cameron Highlands might not be a good place for you, because there are only natural places like bee farm, tea farm and strawberry farm to visit.
For me, Cameron Highlands is highly recommended for family trip, if you want to bring your parents to somewhere quiet and with windy weather. And the activity for dinner that cannot be missed is steamboat session because of the cold weather. Cameron Highlands is full of places where people plant vegetables. So you can just easily get fresh vegetable for steamboat.
Strawberry farm is a must for strawberry lovers and you can enjoy cheap and yet fresh strawberries. Tea farm will be must-not-miss sport if you’re visiting Cameron Highlands. BOH tea is produced from Cameron Highlands and you can purchase all sorts of BOH tea after the visit.
Along the roadside of Berinchang, you can see lots of stalls selling vegetables and strawberries. Some unique souvenirs like hot cakes and strawberry umbrellas.
Bees can produce lots of honey. Nowadays people keep talking about natural and healthy ingredient for food. You can pay a visit to the bee farm and get a pure honey which is collocated by bees from the bee farm.
I did enjoy my weekend in Cameron Highlands, hope you all will enjoy too!

Good working environment
In order to keep a good employee, employer should think out of how to provide a good working environment for employee and they feel like home to work for you. Good working environment doesn’t mean that it must be fun. It can also form from just having a healthy relationship between colleagues.
This is secondary issue that I will consider when decide to leave this company, because it will lower my moral to improvement myself.
Some company full with office politic and there are 5 grouping in just 20 employees, this is unhealthy because they keep gossip about the bad things and infect your spirit to work and got influence by colleague who try to bring bad image to Company. Too much of rumors can be getting bad reaction from employee as well.
To all bosses, don’t ever try to bring in your relative who not fit to the position you’re your company. Hiring friends and relatives is tricky. If not handled well, it can sour the work environment. Personal disputes can affect business interaction. Other employees may feel that a boss' relative gets special treatment.
Why I say so? This is because a serious situation that having in my company which my boss’s brother is working same company with him and when he says something, no one dare to complaint even it’s wrong.
Worst thing is his brother can just use boss name to threaten people if not following his point of view. But most of the time, they are the winner of the argument. Every staff are low in moral to work hard nowadays because of the working environment.

Gadgets that I wish to have
Every one must have their wish list for the Christmas, I have mine as well. This list can consider my all time wish list as I am working hard to get it. Ad some I already got it by this year.
1. Camera phone or PDA camera - this year I got my PDA phone from my friend’s mobile phone shop which I think is not a good buy, but this is consider one gadget I manage to grab this year
3. PSP – I always dream of getting one PSP to play, because when you are away from home and out for a vacation or some travel. This gadget might help you to fill the free time while waiting to arrive some destination.
4. DSLR camera – this is my highest priority of this year which I still looking for a good and budget one for my amateur photographer level’s trail.
5. Camcorder – I like Camcorder’s idea as we can capture the moment of truth of our life and refresh it when we getting old. I missed out lots of happy moment in my life as I only can refresh using my memory because there is no one have the camcorder last time.
6. Portable GPS system – this is something new in my wish list as I started to like this tool as it help we navigate when drive in a unfamiliar places.
I think that's all my wish list, if you plan to buy me a present this Christmas, please consider these... kekeke..
How to handle Bad boss-my theory
If you have never had a bad boss in your employment history, count yourself lucky. Bosses who lose their temper easily, can’t communicate, can’t accept different view of opinion of theirs, saying bad words during work is some example of the managerial misbehavior.
Unless you’re rich, you’re probably not in a position to tell your boss to take this job and shove it. What can you do if you get a boss who’s the biggest obstacle for your job? I actually facing the worst boss ever in my life and I am going to share with you how to handle him. Even I am not handling well in the situation that he won’t listen to any advice made.
My boss is a hot temper boss who always come out with @&@#%$ words when he is angry. Off cause every time, I am not the shooting target. So, I always ignore his words and listen to the radio when he shouting inside the office. Kekeke..
My boss is hard to communicate as when there is some problem happens, don’t try to explain, because this will even put you into a very difficult situation. I always keep quiet until he finish what he want to sound out, then immediately you need to say something or else you will get this “AM I TALKING TO THE WALL!!!!” So, you must have ready with the data and good solution for his concern. If not, you will have to listen to the shouting all over again.
I am working with a non-IT boss who never like IT, and I always stuck with him with some non-sense criticize like why we need to depend some must on system? What I can do is keep quiet and listen to the crab, and just keep silence with his criticize because, just because he is the boss. Yeah right.. tell me about that..
I been survived from working at this company for 3 years and this situation is happen since day one of working at here. I am proud of myself to making so far so good in this company.

Most hated department in your company
Look at the title, you might have some department in your mind now. But let look at the department that you hate the most. My vote will go to HR department in my company.
Why? It’s simple, do you see any HR department do the people sourcing for 4 months and still can not even get a candidate to just an interview. I think they are simply lazy to follow up on the advertisement budget and give up on the task.
They don’t have a proper format to organize their procedure and they always missing some document from tracking some important information and ended up with some excuse that people who leave never handed over their information.
I think they are simply irritating because of the not so care attitude. You will know it if you see their working attitude here, I had been struggling with the low production HR department since day one I joint.
I always question myself why people can be so irresponsibility on their role and left lots trouble to other people. I think people’s personality is the main factor of the issue.
What to do? So, HR is my most hated department in my company.

Printer
I never own a printer since my Canon bubble jet printer spoiled and now I am thinking of getting a printer for photo printing purpose. I am surveying thru the internet to get the budget but good printer.
Nowadays the famous among the printer will be all in one type, they can print, scan and copy. The cheapest one for all in one printer will be costing like RM500-600. For me RM600 is not a big amount, what I am concern about is the cartridge’s price. This is something will cost you for long term.
I think I still need some time for survey to get the better printer that suite to my needs. Do you have any good printer that used before to recommend to me? Or maybe bad experiences that want to share with me?

Why your PC getting slow?
You been using your PC all day long and sometimes you realize that your PC getting slowly. And why this can happen. There are simply because maybe your PC is attacked by Virus and Spyware.
Spyware grows more sophisticated every day. When you share a file, swapping music, photo it might risk your PC to get stuck with Spyware and your PC is getting slower with the spyware running at the back.
Virus can cause your PC hang and even spoil up your hardware if they mean so. Virus have to stop from spread if they attack your PC. Recently my company is infected by one of the careless user who clicks on the spam mail and causing virus spread across the network and this make us busy for 2 days just to clean up the virus.
There are some free tool that you can get it from the download it and install to protect your PC. I highly recommend AVG antivirus for virus protection and ad-aware for spyware protection.

Mines Wonderland – Don’t go
Last night I was there because of some special request from my cousin who never been there, and it’s really sucks. The place is not maintain well and it is matter of time to get this place demolish. This is my fifth time gone there to fulfill my friend, family, and relative’s curiosity.
Inside the mines wonderland, they convert the Snow house to winter house and maybe because snow house needs higher maintenance fees. And the place as messed out and without proper maintain as well.
There are tigers in the cage to visit and they all like very sleepy and sleep all the way when walk over their cage.
The place is quite dark for visit, as last time when we pay a visit. The boat goes out to round the lake is still free of charge and now you need to pay extra RM8 to take a ride.
The only attraction can be found at here is only musical fountain, and it used to be very interesting part inside mines wonderland. But I think there is nothing to be proud about. Let me show you some photo of it.

The last part is Russian Magic show, which the magician will walk his way out to the stage and arrange his so call equipment needed for his magic and it takes a very long time until we gave up on that show.
So, if you think of going to Mines wonderland. Please reconsider to go some where else and here is some important information and brief information that you might don’t want to miss out:
Ticket price: RM35 per adult (damn expensive)
Attraction: Musical Fountain (only thing can make mines wonderland survive)
