When Your Good Is Their Bad.

Short Story written by me (base on experience) :

       

      James is a newly employed accountant at a company. For every new employee, there is a mentor for them, The job of the mentor is to guide them about the basic rules of company and also guide them in given tasks for a few months.

       James's mentor is Kelvin who has 10 years experience in accounting field. Kelvin taught James a  lot of new things and also is very helpful and kind. James feels very lucky to have him as a mentor.

      One day, a colleague of James, Amy had an argument with Kelvin regarding certain company's account mistakes. James was sitting nearby when the argument took place. He overheard the whole argument.

      Amy later on went around telling other workers about the argument that she is obviously unhappy about. All the other workers condemn Kelvin's attitude and also working ethics.

      James is very confuse by all the negative comments done towards Kelvin because to him, Kelvin is a very good role model and also a good person. Why are there so many negative comments on him? It's something that he decided not to find out at last. He just decided not to care about all those negative comments and just continue to treat Kelvin as a friend. He feels no matter what other people said, is not important. What important is Kelvin treats him as a friend and is good to him. They went on to become close friends and helping each other when facing problem at work.



Moral of the story: 

From this short story, we know that sometimes we treat everyone good and kind but there are always negative comments about us. The question frequently ask is why are there such comments? The reason being is that in this world, no matter how good and kind we are, it is impossible for the whole world to like us as a person. There are always people who hate or dislike us for who we are. We need to learn to accept these kind of people and just move on with our life. Continue to be who we are but at the same time never hate these people back. Put the situation on to yourself, I know you also will realise that sometimes you do dislike someone because of their attitude but that someone maybe a good friend of another person. Conclusion is, good and bad of a person is very very subjective and the answer will vary. If it's a scale of 1 to 10, you may give a person 9/10 but another friend of yours may give the person 2/10. Thus, it's pointless to compare. Just enjoy life and fill it with people that you feel are 'good' people. All smile to life.




Johor Bharu. I am Lovin It.



      Went to Johor Bharu a few weeks ago to explore around and also do open my mind to the outside world which I had shut myself off for quite sometimes. Walking around with emptiness inside of my heart in this new place and big city, I do not know what to expect or what I will experience but I am certainly happy being in a new place away from the state which holds much painful memories for me. During that 4 days, I manage to fill the emptiness in my heart. So what's JB all about?

1. All the hotels and shopping centers are build in between of housing areas. Even the main road are all connected through them. It's a very unusual as in Malacca you seldom or never see such thing.

2. There a lot of pretty girls but the way they dress and make up style are almost the same.

3. You need a lot of small changes/coins when you are there as  most of the toilet need you to pay 20 cents per entry and also when taking the bus, some bus do not give back your change. So, you need to pay exactly the amount needed.

4. The food are AWESOME. Most of them are not franchise so, you cannot get them anywhere else.

5. In their shopping complex, they sell lots of handphone accessories. Uncountable amount.........but overpriced.

6. The securities for any hotels or luxuries shop (even tuition center) are very tight. I guess JB crime rate is really a fear factor there.

Overall, the experience there was very new and also will be one of my favourite memories. We even had RM 104 'Durians' there. L.O.L. It's a funny moment and also a lesson learned moment. Thank you to my friend Bryan for offering me this chance of visiting JB. I LOVE JOHOR BHARU~ <3

Last Day of Internship.


Last time breakfast at company canteen before leaving. A very quiet morning for me.


Goodbye my sitting place..........L.O.L


Fellow trainees that had been in the same company as me for the past 3 months. 



Group photo of all of us. There are still some of the trainees missing here due to several reasons but this photo looks nice! I will remember each and everyone of you. All those moments will be special memories in my mind.




My last cup of coffee at department pantry before leaving. 'Haha'. I know it's lame but special to me. L.O.L. I always had my coffee at 3pm in the pantry or at my seat until to the extend some colleagues will ask me why I haven't have my coffee break if I do work until after 3pm. 




Finally, I got this certificate on my hand. Before internship start, I promised to someone I will do well, get boss and colleagues recognization with hardwork and also to get this cert by the end of my internship. I did it as promised. I feel proud of myself and is very happy throughout the internship program. 


When it's time to leave, I feel happy and sad at the same time. I am not good at saying goodbye. It's like in that 3 months I already feel attached to the company and department. All my colleagues are nice people and they are very helpful. The working environment is nice too. Although I did not have the same workload as an engineer, but I feel I might....just might be able to to work in that department well. Farewell boss and colleagues...You will be miss. THANK YOU!!




'Bak Kut teh' for Farewell lunch.............at V Cafe.




So, it was the farewell lunch and we decided to eat at a vegetarian cafe which is call V Cafe at Bukit beruang. This is because one of our friend is vegetarian. No meat in a 'bak kut teh' is first time for me. Not that easy to swallow but the smell was very nice.

Ikan Bakar Muara Sungai Duyong......with Boss.


The smaller river there. There is a bigger one on the other side of the restaurant. 


The restaurant that we ate at. Today we will be treated by our supervisor/boss. 


The river view from one side of the restaurant. We wanted to sit at this area but there were fully book. I feel that the view here is nicer than Alai and Umbai but the food still lose to that two places.



 The shell type seafood (cockles, scallop, etc,)


All the type of fishes available there. All are fresh.




Fried Squid~~~ Still a must dish at every 'Ikan Bakar' session. 




Sweet and sour fishes.

Selamat berbuka puasa bersama Ridhwan. L.O.L 


Far right. My boss/supervisor/mentor/friend. L.O.L. He just have the characteristics for every of the role I mentioned. 



It was a farewell dinner before I finish my internship and leave the company back to study life. The moment to me was half happy and half sad but it was a great dinner.

First time using LabView and Devcon.



My first time learning Labview and my first successful program. Didn't got to learn much as I only had 2 weeks to finish this project but I hope in future I can maybe do this as FYP or just using Labview for other purposes. It had been a joy ride for me.
