Because...I'm happy

Yes, I am happy because today is the last working day for me as we are boarding for our annual company trip tomorrow. Location is to be revealed when I'm back from the trip. Shall write about it soon.

The first group has boarded the plane about an hour ago. And today is basically the day for me to clear what ever that is pending and hope to enjoy the trip with no worries.

With that, I would love to enjoy it with William Pharrell's Happy

So ladies......

Because I’m happy

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

Because I’m happy

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Because I’m happy

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

Because I’m happy

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Enjoy the long weekend break you workaholic people. See you in May!

Ohh emm gee, it's May already!!!

Are you girls prepared for a job interview?

I started sending my resume right after I completed my degree. I was so busy beautifying my resume just to impress the company for the job that I'm applying. Little that I know, the most important aspect for a job interview is not just on the attractive resume but also on the appearance during the job interview season.

I still remember being so stressful receiving job interview calls from either the job recruitment company or from the company itself. Stressed because I don't know how to prepare myself for the interview. I don't know what are their expectations towards me? Stressed on the right dress or pants that I should wear for the interview or which tops that will help to boost my professionalism look during the interview season. Picking the right scarf was also a problem for me. Which style should I apply? Will the simple selempang style will bring down my professionalism look or having to put a roll-over style will make me look presentable? Clueless much, I normally just go with my instinct - betul ke, salah ke, hentam je janji confident!

Yes, being confident is the most important thing during any job interviews. But then again, how do you know that you're confident enough to make your interview season an interesting one? Tambahan pula if you really really desperately want that job and that you're being over-confident for it. Being over-confident can pull you down, you know? So, know your confident level and it will definitely helps you to nail your interview season.

Lucky me, I have passed these phases of going in and out for job interviews. And for you lucky girls, Libresse is currently running a campaign just to help you girls to prepare yourselves for any interview seasons. Baik hati kan Libresse ni! Because they know that going for a job interview is very stressful especially for the first timer - fresh graduates that is.

Why do we need to study for exams?

Isn't this looks familiar?

I have to admit, I am still experiencing this situation especially when it comes to the examination week. I can never settled myself reading the book or revising the hand-outs for the examination and end-up writing nonsense on the answering sheets. Goreng sampai hangus dijilat api. Itulah strategy-nya.

I just don't understand how lawyers do it. How can they actually sit still reading all the notes that are related to their cases or revising on the case studies to firm up their arguments or reading and understanding the regulations to defend their cases. Ini gila namanya. Salute you all lawyers!

I mean, don't get me wrong. I love to read - story books that is. I don't like to read facts and data. I read fictional story books for fun not for life. Sebab tu lah tak jadi a lawyer or a doctor. Satu, sebab tak berapa cukup bijak and secondly, sebab tak cukup membaca.

Final exam is coming soon. I'm a bit clueless on what's happening this semester. We haven't touch on our main assignments yet and my individual write-up is also nowhere to be seen. So, wish me luck friends!

Financial (Credit Card) Scam

I'm not sure if I have posted on financial scam before but this is the second time I experienced being a scam victim.

About a year ago, I received a phone call from Unify telling me that I have an outstanding billing amounting RM1K+. Naively, I agreed to informed them on all of my bank account details. Yes, as stupid as it sounds, I actually did informed them on all of my details of my bank accounts from my personal bank detail to the one where my salary's in. Lucky me, Allah masih mahu melindungi hambaNya yang bodoh ini, my balance money wasn't that attractive for them to withdraw. I only had RM50 in my bank account. Jadi, tak jadilah mereka nak ambik.

And you know why I trusted them? They actually informed me on Bank Negara contact person where I can make a report on this scam. Bijak tak mereka-mereka ni? Dah lah buat scam, lepas tu berjaya meng-convince-kan kita yang kita dah kena scam. So, the supposedly Bank Negara contact person made all the necessary report with all my banking details.

I told my husband about it and he said that this is actually a scam and that the Bank Negara personnel is not from Bank Negara and I don't believe him when he told me about it because they sound so very convincing. On the day I met with my Bank Negara client, I told them about it and it was confirmed that I have been scammed.

Yesterday, I received another call from Ambank credit card. I was told that I have an outstanding payment of RM3K+. It was the auto voice machine that "called" me. I pressed "9" to confirm on the statement and it led me to this Cina Ah-Beng "customer service" personnel. Dengan agak ragu-ragu, I asked that person on the assurance of him working with Ambank credit card contact centre because clearly, he doesn't speak fluent English and definitely does not sound like a customer service person. Dengan nada yang marah I told him that I don't own any Ambank credit card. I actually screamed at him and he finally hung up on me.

Nasiblah kerja tempat yang kelilingnya bank centres, I walked to Ambank to make a report. Luckily, I'm not trapped with this scam sebab I did not inform them on any of my personal details jadi mereka tak dapat nak trace apa-apa information.

Few things I learned while confirming with Ambank personnel:-

1. Any bank will never call anyone with a direct phone no. Normally, it will appears as "Private Number" on your phone. Never will it be a direct phone number like +603-465 2016. If this happens, please note that it is a scam
2. Credit card personnel will never call anyone for transaction confirmation. It will always be an SMS notification.
3. Once they ask for confirmation on credit card number, surely it's a scam.
4. Scam is very random. They will randomly call anyone to try their luck.
5. They will convince you with Bank Negara contact person. This is also a scam.
6. If ragu-ragu, go directly to the bank to make clarifications

Jadi kawan-kawan, berhati-hatilah. Kita semua adalah mangsa scam which I wonder, why they always attack me?

And because we are sucker for social media

This is my third post for today. Wah! Wah! Wah! Hebat bukan. Macam dah takde kerja sampai boleh nak post tiga articles. Selalunya, nak post satu article in one week pon susah, inikan pula tiga! I must be very free today, aren't I?

Well, I'm not that free actually. It's just that my mind is not here at the workplace and my focus is mostly at home. Inilah dia masalah #thirdworldcountry

Anyway, I have another third world country problem that I'm currently facing. 

You know how much attached you are with your social networking accounts? Just like any other heavy social networking users, I have my Facebook account, Twitter and Instagram that connect me with my friends. Twitter is somehow more personal. Although I have set the privacy level to "friends only" for all of my social accounts but I do not add my colleagues on my twitter. Hence, it is actually a place where I ramble on how sucky my work is, or on things that I don't agreed on. Basically, my twitter account is the place for me to complain about my disagreements (mostly!). Tempat melepas geram dalam bahasa melayu nya.

Normally, I will sign out from my twitter account every morning before leaving for work. This is to keep the data entry into the lowest level (jimat duit lah katakan, maxis cekik darah didn't you know?!) and will re-sign-in when I'm back from work sebab rumah guna wifi so data tak guna sangat. Cheapskate, I know!

But today, I decided to re-sign-in in the office sebab nak meroyan sedikit di dalam twitter sekali an error appears.

Well, for some people, it is not a big of a deal. Just key-in your email address and they will send in the new password, siap! But, this doesn't work for me. I'm no longer using the email address that I registered for my twitter account. It is even worst when the email address has been deactivated. So, if they send the reset password to that account, I, on the other hand won't be able to receive it. Oh no! Macam mana nak meroyan ni!!

This is an example of how attached one person is with her social networking account. I have to admit that this twitter account of mine is like my best friend. She listens to me on everything that I rambled. She don't judge. She's always on my side whenever I need her the most. Oh no! It is as if this twitter really "bernyawa". And I'm started to feel lost without it. Sedihnya.

I have a very good relationship with my twitter account. Why is twitter doing this to me? I still need a place to ramble. I still need a place where I can just say anything without having to worry on what people will say about me. Bottom line is, I STILL NEED MY TWITTER!!

Sedihnya tak terkata rasa macam nak menangis. Oh yes, I am such a dramatic person. Over-emotional over irrelevant things in life. I still need my twitter, please!
