Am I doing the right thing...

Hi all, at times I questioned myself if I am doing something for the sake of doing or am I doing it for the sake of others? Or if what ever I am doing benefits just myself (aka selfish) or for the benefits of others? If what I am doing is worth hurting others, up to the extend of humiliating others? Honestly I do not know.

All I know is that in order for me and my team to continue doing what we do best, we need all the support which we can get. And that is inclusive of participation from other parties.

First is hiring - hiring the correct person for the job is almost impossible. You need a combination of both English fluency and IT literate. I am not an IT literate but I do have what it takes to be part of this team and that is attitude. But then again, how do actually gauge attitude during interview? Its not easy to come up with an assessment for that. Maybe to test patient and concentration you can try to use the cube puzzle game. So give it to them and try to strike a conversation with them. See where do they focus more, the game or you? Its a good practice for multitasking as well :) In this job environment multi tasking is a must and therefore, during the interview stage they will know what's coming their way.

Training will be challenging as a bunch of people with different abilities and capabilities are grouped together and the training needs to be for a general batch. You will have difficulties in terms of assuring that these people do understand what you are trying to deliver. You will have people who has never use a computer their whole life, does not know what is email as they are so familiar with snail mail, does not know what Internet Explorer is etc. But I believe that a good trainer will be able to assist these people. How do I know, because I was trained by one. Haridas Balakrishnan was fondly known also as Super Mario, was a good trainer, at least for me. He not only taught about the product and the system requirement but also disciplining us and educating us on the importance of being on time and punctual and respecting time for the sake of the operations. If you exceeded your break time then you need to stay extra hours to replace it. And if you keep on coming late he will ensure that you will be fine, either by buying sweets for the class or doing the presentation on the topic. Homework was there of course for the next day topic so at least we will not be all blurry when he is teaching the next day. He moved to the Operations Team and now he has left the company.

I do not know what is required to be a good trainer because I am not even one to begin with, but unfortunately now I am dwelling into a 'something' which requires me to do extra work. i don't mind but I need to know if its worth it? I so need an opinion at the moment :)

Thank you to a New Blog...

Hi all, as I was browsing through some nonsense via the internet, i accidentally saw an article " Ally Iskandar Kagumi Keperibadian Farah Lee" and decided to have a look at the girl's picture. Aww, she is so sweet and not to mention smart. A third year Mechanical Engineering student in Korea. But what I like the most is finding her blog, with all the topics which kinda keep my feet grounded. A simple blog with a lot of sincere sharing. I have came across a lot of blogs which focuses on the owner, mostly everything is about themselves. Well, part of having the blogs are meant to share their activities and stories. But her blog is more on on others, no I don't mean talking bad things about others but its full of sincere items that a Muslim can share with another Muslim.

Honestly I am deeply touched by what she is sharing. I am a Muslim and am still learning how to become a better Muslim. She wears the hijab prior to going to Korea as a mean to ensure that she will not forget her duties as a Muslim and I really respect her for that. Her hijab is not out of trend but more of a proper covering of what needs to be covered. Yes, of course its fashionable but not in a sense that is showing her hair or neck or ears and it does cover her chest properly. Alhamdulillah, thank you for showing me this blog as a reminder to myself, that Islam is forever the Ad-Din for everyone and that being born a Muslim will not be a privilege should you fail to practice its teachings.

Again thank you Farah Lee for sharing :)

Animals which are more human than humans...

I was multitasking, sending official emails and browsing aimlesly when I came across an article via the internet. It was from this website "http://www.bom321.com". I felt sorry for the dog, or could it be that he was actually trying to prevent the vehicles from running over his dead friend? I am pretty sure that he knew that his friend had already died. Still, to be there bravely and forcing people to not to run over his friend requires some solid courage.

But sadly the people are more interested in taking his pictures rather than helping him move his dead friend. I do hope someone actually moved his friend away from the middle of the road for the dog's sake as well.

Anjing ini cuba menghalang pengguna jalanraya supaya tidak melanggar kawannya yang kemalangan, tetapi kawannya telahpun mati, orang ramai sangat teruja dengan sifat anjing ini, insiden ini berlaku di China.


It is not a surprise when you find humans on the other hand are more interested in 'killing' their friend rather than helping. Else, words like back stabber will not be created right? I had my fair share of being back stabbed but thank god, Alhamdulillah it only makes me stronger knowing that I have friends to pull me out of the situation, family who stays with me no matter what, and of course the one and only Allah SWT who has never let me down and always reminded me to believe and have faith in HIM. Thank you Allah.

Mean by Taylor Swift

A song by Taylor Swift. It brought back old memories and I realize mean people remain mean :(

You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man

Well, you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing

But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

People even killed themselves to avoid being bullied. Why is there a need for bullies? Why can't we just be friends? Why do we need to hate each other? Questions and more questions...I hope this never ending cycle will eventually stop.
