Penang bak zhang recommendation

Doku_Kinoko — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 21:19:26 +0800

Any recommendation for good bak zhang in Penang? Store or homemade is fine. Don't mind higher price too as long as the ingredients are worth it and the taste is good

Would you eat insect based foods?

Doku_Kinoko — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 01:22:50 +0800

Hi all, I have been eating insect based foods like sago worms for most of my life and I can't seem to understand the stigma that most people have towards insect based foods, especially since most people seem to enjoy eating offals or even prawns which are well known as cockroach of the sea.

Therefore I chose "How do Malaysians feel about insect-based foods?" as my research question.

Feel free to bincang here or if you would like to help me out with my questionnaire (It will take approx 10 mins to complete), here's the link:

Thank you so much guys

Dear Finance Analysts/Accountants/HR, help needed

Doku_Kinoko — Sat, 16 Apr 2022 02:46:20 +0800

Hi all,

I'd like to transition from IA to Finance Analyst (FP&A) or traditional accounting related roles. Appreciate it if you guys could share your input on the following:

1. Based on the background of your peers (For existing FA) or usual hiring criteria (For HR), what are my chances of securing an experienced Finance Analyst (3+ years) role without taking a pay cut?

2. If my chances of securing an experienced FA role is low, which of the following options would be better?
a) Apply for Junior FA (0-2 years required experience) role, then either stay until promotion or leverage the experience 1 year later to apply for a senior role in another company
b) Go for FA/ accounting role in smaller companies, but I might not meet their requirements too
c) Join IA in industry, request to transfer FA/accounting role after 1 year (networking required)

3. If you think that it could be my resume's problem instead of me being pigeon-holed in IA/compliance, what are some tips to improve my resume specifically for FA/ Accountant role? Or if you don't mind helping me to review my resume, let me know and I'll send it to you.

Thanks a lot

Hi all,

Tried to check prices online but only managed to get online quote from PosLaju so far. It's >RM70 😭

Hi everyone,

So I need to get a parcel delivered to Kulim, Kedah by this coming Sat. I'll be sending it from Penang.

What are the courier companies that you would recommend? I can't send it through Pos Laju as they don't deliver on the first Sat of the month. Thanksss =)
