Having dilemma in future career

kiki-lo — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 12:52:54 +0800

Dear all, I'm currently a final year uni student who is going to graduate in few mths time, having dilemma and really need u guys to advise me based on my case.

Here are my situations:
1) Being offered by a bank for operation executive post prior graduation (given offer letter; not contracted) due to my excellent performance during internship.

2) Pursued finance related course; keen on investment sector instead of operation related work field.

3) I'm from JB, thinking if it's better to stay in KL or have a new beginning in Singapore.

4) Already agreed orally to hr manager; high ranking officers and head of departments of the particular bank that will be back after graduation.

My questions:
1) Is it suitable to use the given offer letter to apply better job? Such as, in S'pore? Or even the singapore branch of this bank itself. (as an acknowledgement of excellent performance)

2) Is it suitable to discuss with the HR manager for that I would actually would like to join investment department prior entering? I know that even permanent staffs there will only have this kinda request after working for a while. I wondering if this is appropriate. Or even, asking the hr manager to refer me to the s'pore branch? (I know this might be offensive)

3) KL or Singapore? Staying KL means I could have job right after graduation (and I like this bank too); but have to search for job over again if going S'pore. However, personally will prefer Singapore as I will have more time to spent with my family (nearer to JB compare KL); future prospects and salary are better too. But kinda worried that I might end up failed in getting a job. I have average cgpa only (3.3) but soft skills, English, confidence level and appearance are considered well.
Ur comments and advices will be greatly appreciated.. Many thanks in advance!

Is it good to drink milk before bedtime?

kiki-lo — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 14:58:28 +0800

Hi all, just would like to know if it's good to drink a glass of warm milk before sleep? I don't have sleeping problem but then sometimes I can be too hungry (cause I usually have my dinner quite early). So just want to know if it's good or bad, and will I put weight because of this? Thanks in advance!

PS: Some internet source saying that it's good as protein can be fully absorbed by body during sleep time but not sure about this. I wonder if this will give the body system (esp digestive system) extra work as they're supposed to rest ad. Some even say that milk itself is bad to us. So really need u guys' opinion before making this as my daily habit.

(Perhaps I'm thinking too much? )

Suggestion of car model

kiki-lo — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:09:51 +0800

I'm currently a university final year student who's going to graduate next year, planning to buy a car soon but hav no idea on what model to get, whether new or 2nd hand.. Sincerely would like to seek for u guys' opinion.. My parents will giv me RM5000 down payment and help me pay for the installment until I'm graduated.. My mom was keep asking me to get a new viva (the most basic type dat kind) as she said wil hav no worries on maintenance. But I'm kinda reluctant to get dat empty viva and wonder will it b nicer if buying a better 2nd car with same amount of money (eg persona or..) or even cheaper one (kelisa, chevrolet spark or iswara).. My budget is below 30K.. Need to be fuel economically and low in maintenance fee one.. Thanks in advance ya..
