rokai88 — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 01:10:54 +0800

Hi everyone!

I am looking to buy a bungalow in Putrajaya. Anyone has a recommendation on a particular area or unit to buy? Budget is not a concern. I am looking for a big bungalow (6 room+( for own stay to settle down... Would be nice to have a big lawn, a swimming pool, an elevator (optional), and a gated with a community and clubhouse... Preferable new but not compulsory...

I've seen the Setia Eco Glades township and they're launching a new area with a bungalow... but wondering if Putrajaya has the same or similar type?

If there are agents specialize in Putrajaya or cyberjaya. Feel free to to PM me

i does not comprehend the obsession of all mat salleh?

1. why does local companies pay enermous amount of money to bring them here to work where else the work quality is equivalent if not lower that the local? and with the expat package + salary in USD it double the cost of hiring one local profesional

2. worried of the vigina drain by the western people.

3. everything with a mat salleh name sells well here?

please discuss and share your pov

i've been using this one number more than 6 years

i call maxis helpline but he said i need to pay the outstanding rm430 1st, then only request to get my number back. but he said he cant promise i will get my number back because if its recycled then nothing can be done

i think i still have chance since he told me usually need 6 months after terminate to re-cyle which i only 2 months.

the problem is i dont have rm430 to pay now. if possible can anyone help me get my number 1st? then i will change it to prepaid and slowly settle my outstanding. i am afraid if i wait till i have the money it will be to late

GRE Study Group

I am planning to pursue my master degree in Computer Science at USA next year. I completed my TOEFL and now about to prepare for my GRE general. I am looking for people to form a study group for GRE general. Since the private prep course would cost around RM2000 and GRE is quite hard, this might me the best and fastest way to prepare.

Anyone interested can PM me. We can discuss on the details.

9-5 job. a myth nowdays?

rokai88 — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:11:36 +0800

hi,

i've been in this forum for a while and i can see that threads about 'long working hours' is increasing. be it accenture, the big 4, advertising company, engineers, lawyers etc.

i see that everytime someone raise this issue in this forum. ppl will start bombarding them with:

1. young generation nowdays always complain
2. thats life live with it
3. if want to be succesful thats the only way

im concern...

in the early stage of civilization. we 'work' to live. people hunt to eat. people fish to eat. nowdays, its vice versa. people live to work. people work 12hours a day. people work on weekends. sometimes sacrifice public holidays. all of their hours is life spend at work.

yet... people say "thats life".
im concern...

the companies are smart. clearly state it out "we dont force you to work late/weekend" but yet giving out workload at 6pm on friday with "please complete this by monday. its important" attached to it.

yet.. people say "if you want to be successful thats the only way"
im concern...

executive have no OT but we force to work like hell. in the contract it says "the working hours is 830-530 but SOMETIMES your may require to work extra hours" which is actually EVERYTIME. if our boss make meeting at 9pm we cant complain. although "hey, its pass normal working hours!" because we if we do

people say "young generation nowdays always complain"
im concern...

when we were young they say. "we want a well rounded graduate". good at academics, play sports, play musics, good leadership skill, great extra-curricular activites. but when we work we dont have time to do other stuff besides work. raised to be balance. but when grown up. there is not balance. generation Y. is known for its work life balance attitude.why? because we were raised that way.

ambitious yet balance.
hardworking yet balance.
work hard, play hard culture remember?

hey but yet we can't complain.
im concern...

super workload, lack of resources, unskillful work force, tight dateline is the common reasons for this long hours. all of them are a bad management mistake/issues. but yet we were brainwash.

work 12 hours a day? thats life..
and people DO believe in that

why do you think in contract its says 9-5? why in contract it didnt say 9am-12am? should right? because thats life!

companies are totally profit driven. esp in this new 'globalise' world. competition are tight. with standard of living is increasing. inflation is high. "lets use the desperate looking for jobs people out there!"

there are no longer a hardwork slave labor. but there is the modern 'intelectual' slave labor. yeah... somethings do evolve and and adapt through changes. yeay...

i cant stop by laugh to myself. what a life~

im concern...

A professional mistake

rokai88 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:46:24 +0800

This article was circulated among the big 4s. Some of you might have read it. I am just sharing. Maybe something we can ponder about

A professional mistake

Your alarm rings, signalling another brand new day. You get up, looking
forward for another new day of challenge, another new day to learn.
After washing up, you put on your office outfit, giving you that
professional look, one that you believe many out there envy. Breakfast
follows (perhaps), and you head off to your office. You're one of the
earliest to arrive, ahead of all your superior and when they come in
later, they greet you and you feel all charged up for another productive
day. Plenty to do and learn and hence, you are prepared to stay back
late to do all that is necessary.

If you're currently doing a degree in finance, accounting or law, the
above is probably what you've been waiting for all these years. You work
your ass off (well... most of you) in university because it's your dream
to join one of those big glamorous firms out there in the market.
Lawyers and accountants are the usual suspects for this curse. Once
graduated, all of them will run like headless chicken towards those big
firms. If you're an accounting student... you want to be an auditor in
one of the Big-4 right?

Well, if you do make it, it's like a dream come true. In such firms, you
get a personal computer, maybe a notebook (wow!). All your stationeries
are free, and it's also the first time you step into a 'pantry', where
you can make your own coffee, just like those nice offices in TVB
series. Next, you get an exclusive e-mail, the domain after your name is
not the ordinary @ gmail.com <http://gmail.com/> or @hotmail.com
<http://hotmail.com/> or @ yahoo.com <http://yahoo.com/> ... No, it's
not, it's your-name@a-big-and-glamorous-firm.com
<mailto:your-name@a-big-and-glamorous-firm.com> . You can't wait to tell
that to your friend.

Then comes the feeling of giving a business card with your name on it,
and it's not any other business card, it's one with your name on it,
it's one that signifies you're an employee with
a-big-and-glamorous-firm. And... the word below your name is not a lowly
"accounts executive"... the word below your name is exclusive... the
word below your name is... "Associate". And when your friend gives you
the "Wow, you're an associate with this firm?"... you get into instant
orgasm.

3 or 6 months into your job, you will then be experiencing the euphoria
of saying... I-am-very-busy... I-have-a-lot-work...
I-worked-till-very-late-last-night...
I-can't-make-it-for-the-gathering-cos-I-have-to-work-this-weekend. Yeah,
it's an euphoria because to you, it's a privilege to be busy, it's very
cool to work late, you're very proud to work in during weekends. When
you utter such words, a sense of arrogance and pride radiates from you.
You feel great because working so hard means you learnt a lot of things,
those not in the professional industry somehow looks lowly to you. You
feel big, you feel you're a level smarter than them .Reality will tend
to sink in within 2 years or so, though the duration seems to be getting
shorter and shorter now with the younger generation.

First, you will probably ask yourself, how come a graduate like you must
do all sorts of donkey jobs such as photocopying, checking invoices,
going through pile and pile of documents and filing. You will also be
wondering how come your superior whom you once looked up to have to suck
up to clients. Oh yeah... most all clients are unreasonable.

If you're an accountant, you will probably realise that there is no such
thing called a 'balance' sheet. It's balanced because you did the
balancing act so that your big boss can sign on it and certify it as
'true and fair'.
Yeah... signing on accounts, the job that you once dreamed of... isn't
exactly all a bed of roses. You then realise that you will probably
never reach that "just-need-to-sign-only stage" but hey... it's ok, you
probably hate that job by now. When you tell your client something,
chances are you are just as blur and confuse as them. But you have to
act as though you're an expert because you're the con-sul-tant. This is
just a glimpse of it.

Now, all the late nights and irregular meals will probably caused you to
age 8 years in 2 years. Those I-am-very-busy... I-have-a-lot-work...
I-worked-till-very-late-last-night...
I-can't-make-it-for-the-gathering-cos-I-have-to-work-this-weekend will
take its toll on your body and it will show. You will probably look very
skinny... or very far... you will certainly look old and worn out.
Working late and spending weekends in the office is no longer a cool
thing but absolute stupidity. But hey... you will still have to do it,
because there's still much work to be done.

By now, all your friends who ended up as salesmen or doing other thing
except being a professional, those whom you felt superior to are driving
anything but a proton. But for you, it's time to think whether you
should buy a proton cause your perodua is beginning to give you problem.
Of course, if your father is well-connected fella, things can be
different.
But if you're not, tough luck. You'll be wondering how come you're
generally under-paid. Those exposure and learning curve that you once
craved are no longer relevant. You want to make more money. But unless
you're a partner of the glamorous firm, money can be a lil tough to come
by.

At this point of time, probably after 3, 4 or 5 years, you finally
realised that document you signed when you first joined the glamorous
firm was nothing but lies. Then, you decide to ply your trade in the
commercial world, you leave those glamorous firm. You think joining a
commercial firm will bring about a good change, not knowing that such
move means you switched from being a 'profit centre' to a 'cost centre'.
One of the main effect of the switch is that you will be working doubly
hard compared to the profit centre, which probably includes a lot of
late nights too... but your salary and bonus is much lower compared to
profit centre. What does this mean... a story for another time.

One thing for sure... your morning will now be something like...

Your alarm rings, signalling another day... another weekday. You get up,
after snoozing the alarm a million and one times. You hope today is
Friday, but it's not, and you feel like shit. You think of a million and
one reasons to take MC, but you realised you have to go to office
because you failed to finish the report due today though you stayed till
10pm last night. You tell yourself you need to change job, just like how
you have been telling yourself in the last 1 year. Once in office,
you're in a dilemma cause you want time to go slower so that you can
finish your work but yet, you want time to go faster so that you can
leave the office and go for lunch.

During lunch, you will b**** with your colleagues about work and
probably the bosses. You will all talk about so many people who seem to
be doing so well except for you. You realised you should have done
something else while in university. You realised you may have made a
mistake in life... a mistake in being a professional... you have made...
a professional mistake.

do you go for girls/boys that...

rokai88 — Thu, 21 May 2009 11:39:42 +0800

i know this girl. she is already in a relationship and she looks happy with how things are currently.

but...

i like her. should i pursue my interest?

the thing that holding me back is:
1. good chances of being rejected
2. we might not be friends anymore.
3. the idea of "jgn kacau rumah tangga orang lain"
