the second interview

Kalau before ni aku pergi interview di Melaka dengan kawan-kawan [pearuz,a’an & mas] this second interview at the K-UTech (company under the UTHM) pun still dengan kawan-kawan [zack,awien & sue] the difference this time is that they went there just to support me *hehe sebab tu saye sayang mereka..supportive* they had to wait for almost 2 hours. Despite of their supportive-ness sebenarnya mereka *or kami* ada plan lain..the next plans were to go having breakfast at the Kluang’s Railway station and to grab some donuts at the Big Apple, Kluang Mall *eh, baru teringat aku tak bayar lagi dwet donut kat zack haha* I had been longing to eat at the railway station. Selalunya Sal je yang tapawkan roti bakar tu kalau balik ke segamat. And again.. walaupun aku fikir angan-angan aku selama ni akan menjadi kenyataan sebab aku dah pun berada di Kluang masa tu..aku sebagai hamba-Nya terpaksa pasrah dengan ketentuan yang telah tertulis untuk aku *dan mereka* untuk hari tu…kedai tu tutup beb!! Jaoh tu jalan..tutup pulak adoiyai tak tau macam mana nak gambarkan kekecewaan hati nih. To heal the hurt, we headed to Kluang Mall for donuts huh~

Oh about the interview. I read shida’s blog entry on interview the other day, she talked on the questions she had to answer in the interview. So I think I’m gonna share what I’ve gone through during mine so that we can all benefit from it.

The offered post is : Accountant

Few of the questions I can remember :

1. The accounting software you can deal with
2. Are you good at ubs?
3. Any experience on handling accounts? Explain
4. In your opinion, what are the important criteria for an accountant?
5. Any qualities you found in yourself better then others? *oh siyezly I hate this part*
6. Since I’m an IT people, I always need my accountant to advise me when making decisions especially investment referring to our financial position. Can you do that? *I was like..WHUT? I’m a fresh grad whut do you expect?? But don worry I didn’t blurted out that. I did it like what an interview has to be haha.*

Then it came to some things more technical:

1. If the trial balance is balance is there any possibility that the financial statements will be imbalance? Explain and elaborate with examples.
2. If the financial statements are imbalance since 2006. What should you do to correct it?
3. Tell us the steps to correct the financial statements
4. If you were given some imbalance financial statements, say from 2006 how much time will you need to correct them?
5. Tell us what he ubs can provide other than the financial statements

Hummm~those are some I can remember. And they got along with some more unstructured questions. There’ll be one more interview and that one will be with the BOD. Gosh! Ya I’m shooting for the star yet I don’t know whether it can even reach the moon.

life is a journey

Orang kata hidup adalah sebuah perjalanan jauh

Macam naik kereta ke perlis untuk kali pertama

Jauuh

Dan tak tau jalan di depan macam mana..

Bengkang bengkok ke, berbukit bukau ke, berlubang ke, nak belok ke kanan atau ke kiri

atau mungkin tersalah ambil jalan mati

bila tersalah ambil jalan mugkin tersesat sekajap

kalau dah tau tersalah jalan tu patah la balik ke jalan yang sebelum ni kita rasakan betul

atau mungkin kita boleh minta pertolongan orang lain untuk tunjukkan jalan

ataupun call lah kawan-kawan yang boleh dipercayai untuk tunjukkan jalan

walaupun sebelum tu kita pernah buat silap

biarlah perjalanan kita akan ke arah yang betul

menggunakan jalan yang betul

ke destinasi yang setiap kita impikan =)

21st December 2008

It was haniza&ekram’s wedding. haniza was my classmate at TIGS for 3years but yep, s make good friendship so even though we’d been far aparted, semua masih keep in touch. I think her marriage is unexpected since she seems like someone who puts her entire head on academic..not everyone knows that she’s planning to tie the knot this early. She can be regarded as the most brilliant among us..pada umur 23tahun haniza dah pun ada masters and she’ll be doing her phD this coming January for 3years again in Adelaide [oh ya, and her husband too] and yah kami melihat their decision to get married as a very good move.

Since haniza adalah the first to get married..almost everyone who knows is excited. Kami nak cari present pun took 2 days to decide what to buy. Faridah yang dah lama gile tak jejak BP after her family moved out to JB pun datang this time. Faridah, Farah & me stayed at zack’s place a night before haniza’s wedding. tengah-tengah malam baru keluar to get some late night meals with Sue. Faridah yang dah sangat lama tinggalkan BP ternyata terkejut dengan BP’s development. Dah ada BP Mall, Carrefour, the Square One where there are Gulati’s and EuroModa..dah ada McD house..wifi dah merata even kedai asam pedas pun dah ada wifi haha..kalau nak dilihat masa kami skolah dulu tempat nak hang out cuma lah summit parade tu. Kira masa tu summit parade umpama pavilion la haha..ok drop this.

Anyway, we made a kind of small reunion at haniza’s, changing & updating stories…………..it was HOLY FUN! jumpa mereka yang ada dah 2-3 years tak jumpa Gosh, what a blessing =) cant wait for reunion on April!!

the long awaited moment

actually I’m kinda late of posting this kinda entry *saye busy okeh,kawan saye kawen* so..saat yang dinantinantikan sejak sekian lama finally arrived (the 18th Dec) where our final semester’s results was eventually provided by the uni. I was like being called for death the night before..tak boleh tidur langsung, bilik tu jadi cam creepy gile nak menunggu result on the next morning. However, big portion of us made it through but still ade juga yang tersangkut. saye dengar supp paper for Financial Accounting Reporting & Audit will be on this Tuesday & Wednesday so for those yang gagal.. no worries luvies..boleh buat supp just give ya best shots on that one and for those yang pass tolongtolongla doakan untuk kengkawan yang didn’t make it through..semoga dipermudahkan.

dan saye rasa khamis lepas juga telah mengubah status kami..mission & vision lepas ni perlu di reorganize and yah..2009 pun semakin dekat so sangat sesuai la untuk set balik apa yang nak dicapai next year.and like always, saye sangat suka set new year’s resolutions and I normally do it moderately *sorie I don’t tell people what I have for resolutions*..kadangkadang tak sampai 5 pun haha *ade orang yang set resolutions sampai berbelas okeh* for me, the quantity doesn’t matter in fact some people don’t even bother of having any but they achieve what they want in life perfectly humm~so the point here is kalau nak buat azam baru tu make sure you’ll try to achieve them within time. Ani did tell me that one of our coursemates is applying for ACCA..a brave shot there *ntah bile saye nak amik ACCA humm last paper FAR600 sangat dahsyat*

Actually bukan saye yang tengok sendiri my final result..dan sebenarnya sampai harini pun saye tak tengok langsung result di student portal tu sebab saye telah mengarahkan cik ina untuk buat sume tu untuk saye =D

Saliza : ‘na ko tolong checkkan result aku..tapi jangan bagitau aku sampai aku ready…nati aku dah ready aku cakap’

Iena : ‘okeh’

Few minutes later

Iena: aku dah tengok result ko heee

Saliza : okeh forward kat aku result tu

Iena : account susah eh scott? [masetu dalam otak aku dah fikir..ni cam aku sangkut account je..cam nak nanges tapi sebab dada aku dah rase macam nak terpecah menahan takot air mata pun tak boleh nak keluar]

Saliza : weh bagi je la result tu..account memang susah gille..aku sangkut account eh?

Iena : emmm nampaknye camtu la…sabar ek scott [mase ni aku rase cam dah mati..tak dapat nak bernafas.nak kate sedih tak nanges pulak]

Iena : hehe acah mak enon! Ko pass sumer la.. [perkataan pertama aku cakap lepas bace text nih…iena bunguks!]

so dari malam tu aku bangun tidur dengan senyuman..menghadapi harihari dengan senyuman walaupun sekarang aku dah mula bingung dengan employment problem aku masih senyum hehe. Terasa segala penat selama 2 tahun setengah ni terbalas walaupun pointer menjunam. People say the higher you are, the harder you fall..since I didn’t flew too high, so the fall don’t hurt much haha.

oh yep, for friends yang dah boleh dianggap graduated I wish y’all the best luck on earth for your future undertakings. Moga sukses!

another good news for the week. Jade,iena & aliya had started blogspotting =D yep, as jade mentioned they had actually been blogging before but it used to be on friendster and myspace. Ok guys, drop those now and come in blogspot. don’t call for not-good-in-writing thingy luvies coz I’m a lousy writer haha I even write those which people don’t like to read but cam saye pernah cakap
‘ni blog aku…suke hati aku la ape nak tulis’
Haha..sorie.

read me what the future holds

December is so rainy..it makes staying at home *especially the bedroom* is so very dangerous. Ya you know..when it’s raining we tend to get cold, when we get cold then we’ll probably desperately searching for blankets..which is normally found in our bedroom on the bed..then we’ll be slipping into it..then it’ll make us feel cozy..few minutes later we’ll be drowned to sleep or maybe it’ll take seconds. Those extra sleep or nap or whatever you call it will usually cost us to waste another precious hour in our life that can actually be used for something better than just spoiling our brains. As we know, sleeping excessively can hurt or perhaps kill the brain…..merely like what I felt yesterday haha but hey,it was raining and I got nothing to do at home..but yah, finally regret it since it sent me the hell headache.

Okay now..18th December is coming..and it sends me a very bad nervousness. I realized that thinking of it will refrain me doing anything else such as eating, sweeping the floor, combing my hair..it’ll take a few minutes before I can resume. Pheeeewwww~~ I’m trying to be totally positive here *fingers cross* everyone has started talking or questioning on job interviews or even employment. As far as for now, sal is the only one who has been employed..followed with pija and I’m not quite certain about the rest. some are waiting for the final result before they can make a good move, some are waiting for replies..hummmm~ and some are uncovering the truth about what they actually want in life. Me? I’m a small part of those all =)

Since I have nothing specific to do now, I’ve been using these times to enhance my cooking skill *not interested to talk on this* and meet up old friends, finding what they’ve been doing during their temporary absence in my life *oh ya, thanks ina for the mcD!ada mase leh blanje lagi, aku suka betul sejak duamenjak dah berkerjaya nih ina selalu bermurah hati =) semoga ina dimurahkan rezeki and boleh blanja di the mcD house lagi* ..and most of them are doing great *or better* some are changing work, some are getting married, some have been promoted..and some stay the same ^_^

This is one of the abundant things i’ve been waiting to do. Going to the place where you can see the entire batu pahat. a very peaceful spot. Very valuable to me. When I was in secondary this place was empty, was like a field but now it’s almost filled of big houses and perhaps, few years later we won’t be able to stand in this spot we were standing in.

when the heart speaks

I should say this Aidil Adha is a bit different from years before and celebrated less merrily. we used to go back to Kulai (granny’s) for raya but this time the whole family stick at home waiting for my mother’s sisters & bothers to come. It’s kind of weird actually since we normally enjoy granny’s ketupat during raya but yah as mommy said ‘we need a change’…..honestly, I didn’t quite understand.hummm~

Kak As’ younger sister (kak ujie) came to our place the other day. mommy wanted to give my sisters’ bicycles to Kak As’ kids. Yah we have 2 unused bicycles which my sisters used to go to learn reciting the Al-Quran since sekarang mereka dah katam, bicycles tu dah terbiar about a year already ..daripada dibiarkan jadi besi buruk it’s better to give them away to those who can benefits from them rite? Kak Ujie brought Fifi along. she’s so cute. Dialog didapur bila Kak Ujie left:

Mommmy : mak ingat nak amik Fifi, what say you kakak?

Kakak : laaaa..kalau mak nak, kakak ikut je, kakak tak kisah…..Fifi kiut

Mommy : tapi mak tak sedia lagi……. *and went away from the kitchen*

Kakak : *saye jadi pelik dengan statement tu lalu menggeleng-gelengkan kepala kearah hidayah*

Hidayah : *mengecilkan mate sambil menggeleng-gelengkan kepala dengan mulut terbuka* memang mak slalu cakap macam tu..nak adopt Fifi patu cakap ‘tak bersedia’ pulak..

Sekarang saye faham..my mom will be having an internal-emotional complex bila Nampak Fifi. Patut la masa Fifi ada kejap dia suruh saye amik biskut untuk Fifi, tak sempat sampai kedapur dah dengar..

‘kakak, dalam fridge tu ade ice cream..pergi amikkan bagi kat Fifi’

tak sampai berapa minit pastu..

‘ semalam mak ada beli buah baru, ada dalam fridge..kasi Fifi, kakak’

Kemudian..

‘oh adik punya teddy bears tu bagi kat Fifi je..adik dah besar..pergi amikkan tuk Fifi’.

mommy always fails handling her own emotion when it comes to Fifi. It always shows ~_~

kisah zack dan incik polis

Disini saya bersuka hati untuk share *or recall* the information about the use of tinted-glass for cars..starting on 1st December, the use of tinted-glass on cars are prohibited. Huhu nak dijadikan cerita, petang semalam I went out with zack & awien..went to BP walk to grab some tea and bihun goreng and the chit-chat that will never end. And like always, zack will be sending me home..tapi kali ni with her brand new very-darkly-tinted white myvi *owh zack..i luv your myvi!!!* we use the same route we had been using since forever and there were our lucks the police were doing their things on the road, dengan gabra zack sound ‘awien,the seat belt!’ followed with ‘owwhhhhhh..the glass!’ kali ni kami tau kami akan ditahan disebabkan glass yang sangat gelap itu..and yeah as expected the police rose his hand giving us the sign to go to the side of the road.
one of the polices kept on saying 1/12 (satu dua belas) mula-mula tercengang-cengang tak faham ape yang dia cakap and with some elaborations they comprehend us, bermula dari satu haribulan duabelas tinted glass pada kereta adalah tidak dibenarkan..atau kamu akan disaman rm300!! And starting on 1st January all back sitters need to put on the seat belt or again..you’ll be handing rm300 to the government. I think most of us are informed even before I write this but yah our forgetful minds tend to lose things sometimes. But thank to God, zack telah terselamat dari disaman sebanyak rm300 kerana telah berbual mesra bersama incik-incik polis haha..mintak maaf..zack sebenarnya telah diberikan warning.

Kepada incik hamster yang sedang menunggu myvinya : takyah la bazir dwet tinted glass tu nati kena saman kena bukak tinted tu on the spot, mesti nanges menjurai-jurai =p

hands up

I still don’t get it when a married man *remember I mentioned ‘married’* has to make friends with girls through the internet..the ym!, friendster, facebook, myspace or whatsoever *perhaps I need someone out there to explain to me the relevance* it’ll be normal and sensible if he makes friends in the office or the neighbourhood…but the internet? Through the chit-chat space? Married man? Naaah I don’t think it’s necessary *atau mungkin pemikiran saye yang tersangat kolot?* kalau kamu lah..married,and your husband goes out somewhere with girls..malam-malam sampai tengah malam..eventhough you know that they are friends in the internet. kamu bagi ke? Ya they might just have some drinks or meals together tapi..kamu dengan sukahatinya bagi ke? Hummm~

the interview

Went to tesco’s interview last Tuesday with pearuz, aan & mas. We reached mlacca on Monday since we had to do some observations on tesco’s management. Funny that was the first time I ever stepped in tesco..but honestly I think the management is good. Everything is in its proper place. Better than mydin or giant.oh okay..no offence.

The interview was tough..i mean VERY tough as expected. There were 4 stages all together and we had to settle the all four in a day. Imagine when we had to constantly think like a pro for the fact that we’re only fresh graduates *tak graduate lagi pun sebenarnye* siyezly dalam pukul 5 otak masing-masing dah rase seperti membeku sebab dah dikerah constantly for about 7 hours. Macam nak kena concussion pun ade. But Alhamdulillah berjaya to go through all of the 4 stages..ade jugak yang rase cam nak give up half way but I think it’s a waste so just go through it no matter how bad or nice will the outcome be.

Well our intention at the first place wasn’t to get the job but the experience..i conclude in overall that it is crucial to have a good communication skill since all the 4 stages that we’d gone through required us to put forth our ideas. Besides, we normally tend to get nervous in front of the interviewers so it is equally important to pun your emotion under control or else the ideas will shatter making it not understandable humm
