2018 huh?

So, I just bought a new laptop. Like, Finally. The last laptop I owned died on my during my first semester of LLB. Nasib baik Meck bagi pinjam laptop dia. 

Then, kerja kat firm, ada PC, kerja kat MH & Altel depa bagi laptop. 

Now, let's talk about where I am now.

Since my last post, I was still working with MH. I've since moved to Brunei working with RBA.

What a long journey huh? Tak pernah sangka aku akan mai kerja sini.

I have so many things to share. Prolly I should start blogging again since aku ada banyak masa kan?

I wanna write more about my life is so that I can look back and remember. Sebab aku ni pelupa. I can't remember what happened last January. LOL.

October Mandom

I WROTE THIS IN OCTOBER 2014.

Banyak benda aku nak cakap. Banyak benda aku nak tulis. So that aku ble look back and ingat apa aku rasa at a certain moment in a certain situation.

Kalau hang tanya aku at this exact moment whether I am happy, I'd say no. But then, I'll think for about 5 minutes and I'll regret that NO.

Why? Sebab aku rasa aku tadak hak nak be unhappy. Aku kena appreciate and bersyukur setakat mana rezeki aku yang Allah bagi.

Memang kalau ikutkan hati aku, aku nak drop everything in search of that one thing that will make me happy. Prob is, aku tatau apa yang make me happy. Aku rasa the way I was brought up makes me think that there is this system that I need to follow. Expectations tak payah kata la. Papa expects me to go back to Langkawi and help him. He keeps on saying I have to open up my own practice in Langkawi. Dia tatau ka anak dia ni tak reti apa. Mama, well she supports whatever I do but she will always warn me of the risks, which most of the time, will kill whatever unrealistic plan I have.

Lets talk about my work.

So, I want to document this. I regret rejecting NewCo's offer, but with several reservations. It took me few weeks to decide that I wanted to leave MAS and accept the other offer. The main reason was solely GAJI. Memang bila orang tanya aku kata takmau buat secretarial, rugi experience wise in legal bla bla bla. But deep down, I know it's not the case. Aku tak kisah apa kerja aku buat. I know I can get the job done. Still, aku nak la enjoy along the way. Benefit wise, tak dinafikan MAS/MAB banyak gilaaaaaaaaa benefits! Other companies, understandably, they don't have a strong an vocal union to fight for all these rights. So, lambat sikit nak dapat extra.

Job security

At the age of 26, I wouldn't dare to expect a job security. In my opinion, your 20s should be the era which you should try everything, say yes to each and every opportunity. Then only settle for the best.

And the best usually come later... much later.

Where am I now? Nothing near the best, but good enough. But which the current situation of the Company I'm working with, I'd say yes to every job interview I come across. I wanna know how the market values me, where I stand and how much I can bargain for.

That being said, I went for an interview today. It was for a position similar to what I am at now, but with a retail company, known to many in KL.

I arrived half an hour early, just like any other interviews. It has its own block among other shop-houses. The parking was horrendous. I greeted the receptionist, she was pleasant. She gave me a form to fill and walked me to the meeting room. The interview was supposed to be at 11.30 am but the interview, the Head of Legal and Corp Affairs came 10 minutes later. I suppose it was a casual Friday since she was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt and jeans.

Hack. I thought I would be the *slackiest* (I know it's not a word). 

Let me cut it short, like the interview, it was short. I explained my current job and my previous work in practice. I would say I took up the questioning role in this scene. The interviewer said that the main agreements are Franchising and Tenancy Agreements and my job would vary from opening file, letter writing and photocopying stuff. In my head, I was asking her "Are you looking for a Legal Executive or a Secretary?"

I was not impressed. BUT, I was impressed by how generous the company offered me.

Result : She was ready to offer the job but with immediate notice.

Problem : My company needs a 3 months resignation notice.

Verdict: NO! LIKE A BIG NO!

If you know me, you would know I wouldn't necessarily go for the money. I enjoy working with my present company but since the infamous 2 incidents had led this flag barrier down, I would have to save my big ass and preempt my future.

Hoping for the best!
