Three weeks of work

Time flies..


I have been working for three weeks di.. since 11st Sept till todate. Tml will be my 4th week...woo... so fast



I guess I will not have much time to blog anymore... I will try my best to update when I can


Life is been busy, yet occupied.



I feel content, even though I do not really have any free time.


God is still real and good to me, there's nothing I can complain about.



The only one thing is, I need to remind myself many times to stay focus and let not my work pull me away.



Yup... that's all...^^

Fit Malaysia Graduation Party

All right,


Tonight will be a very important night, because I am sort of in charge of a Graduation Party for Fitness Innovations to celebrate students whom had passed their American Council of Exercise exam recently.

So... everything basically is done. The preparation, set up, food orders... etc etc... I was feeling so stress this morning until I got my stuff all done.


Now.. am sitting down on my place, chatting and waiting for the party time. It's gonna be fun im sure... but im gonna be quite stress as well as I could foresee.



Yesterday we, Jerrican, Julian, Jackie, Jonathan and me went studio for a staff photo shoot upon Fit Thailand's request. The photo shooting session was fun and the photo that you see on my blog is the photo that I am putting up in the company website.


All right, dono what else to write then..


My work is... Fun, Stress, Fun... Stress... Fun.. and stress.. hahahha




Generally, I could not complain about this job. Everything's great... I got nothing to complain... although the stress sometimes might kill me.. but when God is there, nothing will be problem for him. So... in conclusion... Praise God for the great job that I get!



He is so good!



No one else.. but Him alone


Amen!

3rd day of work

I was a bit lost this morning... after realising how little I know of the company.


Lost.. I felt so lost... everyone look stress this morning. I believe I was tired too due to the lack of sleep and waking up early every morning.


However, God is always there.. as long as I hang on and trust in Him... everything will be all right and fall on the right place.


It was proven again today! Things and atmosphere started to change after I took a short break walking around my office compound to look for the stationary that was not found yesterday. The air was refreshing... the wind was chilling...


Then, one of my Director came in... and told me that we will be going to EPF at 2pm to open a new account for me and then, we will head towards Ikano Harvey Norman to get me a laptop.




So, I got a company laptop- Compaq Presario V3000 today at RM2999. Very good deal as it's AMD, Windows Vista Basic (I have not really experienced using Vista wei), 1GB RAM, 100GB and I can't remember what else... In conclusion I would say it was really a good deal.





Hmm... isn't that... unbelievable? I myself.. feeling a little bit 'too-good-to-be-true'. But one thing I am 100000% sure- God is with me.. and blessing me abundantly. I could not help, but only praising Him.. because He has shown me His faithfulness throughout these years...



I do not know what else to say... but only... He is good... all the time and All the time, God is good!



Amen!!!

After two days of work

All right, I am forced to update my blog.


My job is interesting... My title is Marketing Manager, yet my current tasks are like a Everything-Manager (manage everything lor) where I have to overlook so many things. I have to learn about the product line, the past activities.. check their marketing materials.. and amend accordingly, sit in with Directors while meeting up clients... going for meeting in discussing the coming activities that I have to plan... Designing the artwork of the flyers... sending out emails to the party involved... have my other Director in her powerpoint slide (which she is not that familiar with to prepare her teaching material)... tidying up the messy stuff (this one i did myself one la.. volunteer...)


Yesterday (the 1st day), I sat in for three meetings... before knowing more about the product and goals and stuff. It was quite a heavy day for me due to the huge database of information being implanted in my mind. Time is limited, yet so many things to cover... and so many things to learn...


Today, I was feeling much better after knowing much and more about my company. My Director couldn't wait to pass on all the Marketing planning and stuff to me, that's why I have to pray for God to enlarge my brain capacity where I can multitask.


Working environment wise... PERFECT!


Comfortable, less restriction.. I can talk and joke with my Directors anytime... no formal dress code rules and regulations... Directors cum colleagues are friendly and.. they appreciate the ideas that I have presented and also, kind enough to teach me whatever I need and answer me any questions that I ask...



I could not ask for more... God is good enough.. to bless me with this job. I have only been there for two days.. it feels so much like home... I feel that I haev been there for more than two years...



The only drawbacks are.. it's a little bit far from my house and the jam is kinda killing my (carrot-leg-gonna-be by driving manual car on the LDP to and fro) leg and... the workload.. is.. quite overwhelming. Praise God, I still enjoy the job.. I enjoy everything I am doing.



This is the greatest part of the starting of my job... because I love it and enjoy it... that would keeps me going I believe. And, I can't believe whatever I have studied has got to help me soooo much in this job. God is good... no one can deny that!


I am who I am... doing what I am doing now.. because the Lord has been bringing me through.. leading me and blessing me. One of my Director is been asking me about my early devotion in the library (my office has a small library) and what is Christianity about.. Isn't that amazing and cool?




I am excited... to see myself grow in whatever I am going to do. I can access internet in the office but normally I don have time to sit down and blog about it. Wanted to take photo about my office.. but shy la all the Directors sitting right beside me lol.



Ok... that's all for now. It's time to sleep.. tml is another brand new working day.


Oh yeah.. i went with my Director to purchase some office grocery jz now (because the pantry is opened to everyone anytime..) in the Damansara TESCO. She is really nice to be with...




All right... David Lee.. I hope you will be satisfied by these... lol



God bless everyone!


Love your job.. then you will find ur working day more excited that yesterday!

My first job...

So... I am starting my work from tml onwards... ^^



Remuneration package is discussed... I am happy and satisfied and also thankful for them so thoughtful of blessing me. All glory to the Lord. It's not about me, for me myself will not be who I am today.. But Him constantly changing me and teaching me.


I am happy of course, because my salary is out of my expectation.. additionally I will get 1% commission when company is earning RM40k and above (It's a company that have just launched in Malaysia, that's the reason why not so well known yet).


I did not really discuss and ask more about how many % of EPF they contributing and etc. Because I see myself would be able to contribute to the company, and achievement (company earning higher revenue) would be my satisfaction. Do not get me wrong, I am not a holy doly where money means nothing to me. It's just that over these years my life perspective has been changed after accepting Jesus into my life.


I do not understand how others feel a night before they start their first ever job, but I am overly excited. Finally I will not have to sit at home do nothing and count my time while waiting for company to call for interview. Finally I will be able to... be occupied again.


Today three of my Directors explained the package they offering me. I am overwhelmed by their lovely care to give me their best offer. Colleagues are friendly and everyone know me before I even know their name. Awesome!


One thing that is confusing me is... most of them are wearing casual wear to office. But, what about me? I can't wear sports wear to meet up my clients right? So, formal or informal? In case you confused, I am not doing sales job.. but marketing strategies, planning and managing the company's marketing activities. Anyhow.. I will have to meet up clients. Not so soon definitely, they will train me for about a week and I will have to be on my own after that. Pls do keep me in prayer... my job scope is wide, the task is heavy... I have to bear the profit or losses if I did not carry my task properly.


Well... that's all for now I guess.. ahhaha..



If you are still interested in knowing more about my company, feel free to leave me a msg oh...



God is always so good.. He has given me exactly the salary I have been hoping for (now if got commission will be over my wish)... for a fresh graduates like me getting such position...



It's His miracles!!

Job Offer

All right, after many days of not updating my blog.. finally I have got something to write here.



Yeah I have got a job offer... as a Marketing Executive. I will be the only Marketer in the company handling the whole marketing activities... that's why they posted the Vacancy as hiring Marketing Manager in the company. Actually I did not carry much hope while clicking the Apply Now button after seeing their requirement as Fresh Graduates are encouraged to apply statement. So they called me for interview last Tuesday 4th Sept at 3pm, Damansara Perdana @ Fitness Innovations.

I was not that interested in entering Fitness industry but was thinking of giving a try (I wanted to join fashion industry). I found out that company is not as fitness centre like Fitness First, True Fitness or Celebrity Fitness. However, providing Professional USA certificate courses in training fitness trainers. The company was established in Thailand since three years ago and it is doing really well on that site, that's why the Directors franchised and brought it into Malaysia market. Although it's only four months old in Malaysia, I can see the potential and growth through the insight understanding I get from the first interview. Basically, I will have to manage the whole company's marketing activities as the founders and owners are not marketing based. They gave me their brochures and asked me to comment on it. So, I told them what I have seen and what I have learned through my four years of studies in my course. They were impressed...


To cut the long story short because I have been explaining to so many ppls and im feeling so lazy to repeat it again. They called me on Thursday (6th Sept) for the second interview, however due to the time schedule I could not make it... therefore, I went in again yesterday (7th Sept).



I was given a piece of paper, asking me to write down "what benefits ppl could get by exercise in terms of Lifestyle, Relationship and Work". I wrote down the point forms and explained that these three things are inter-related. Because, exercise could help the blood circulation where it would bring good health to an individual. Definitely a healthy person would have a positive mindset and lifestyle that would bring a very good relationship among the people they are dealing with. Also, good health enable individuals to perform their task to the best in their work...


Julian (the Managing Director) told me they have already prepared my seat waiting for me to join them. Due to the fact that they want to give me the best offer they could (a special custom-made remuneration package for me), I will have to go on Monday 3pm to collect the black and white (offer letter) and they will discuss the package with me (ie. salary, allowances, and etc). When they asked how much I expected from the job, I told them honestly I am a fresh graduates with no experienced at all (other than doing assignment and the theories). So, the best would be them value my quality instead of me myself fixing a figure on my own. Julian was happy because he find that's really fair. To me, money is not everything I should judge whether I should take up the job or not. Achievement and Satisfaction in the job would mean even more to me. Certainly I would need the salary to sustain my living, however, being just a sleeping worker and not contributing is just not my style of living.


Julian told me, they will offer me a fixed salary plus commission package ( I was shocked because im not working as a sales position) that is definitely higher than my expectation to keep me in the company. So, if I accept the offer on Monday I shall start working from the next day onwards ^^. Cool!


Through the interview sessions, I see their sincerity and how they appreciate one's idea in all things. That's one of the reason that encourages me to join them.

God was there providing me ideas of how to answer the questions that they have asked me in the interview session. Wisdom was very much granted that's why my performance was impressive to them.

They do not have the hierarchy level where employers and employees sit in the same room, this would definitely encourage the communications and cooperation between workers. Furthermore, I see myself would be able to learn and gained so much from the job by handling everything from head-to-toe. It will be difficult and heavy for me, because I am a fresh graduates. But, I do not doubt my ability because I know as God has given me the job He will definitely prepare me for it. God will never give what we can't take... He will always prepare ahead for us according to His plan.


I do not want to go with expectation of how much my salary would be, what kinda position title they would give me (executive or manager) and how many days of holidays I would get. These are not that important. Learning and contributing to the company is more essential than any other things. For sure, I see a fun working environment will definitely keeps me going. So, whatever they are offering... I would most probably accept, unless God says NO to me. So far, I see all positive signs God is showing me for this job... I trust Him that this would be the job for me. Julian assure me of appraisal and evaluation in my three months probation. They will reward me when I perform well. ^^



Well, even though this is not what I exactly wants. But, I can see that I will be able to.. grow. Last but not least, if everything goes fine... next Tuesday will be the first day of my corporate life. Do keep me in prayer yeah... because I want to honour God in all I do.



God is really soooo good!!!!
