I.have.no.title.for.this.post

After a week of searching and hard work, finally came out wit a few that attracts my attention,

One of Bank Negara's programme as a banking trainee. Gets alot of exposure and learns about conventional and islamic banking, as well as investment banking. Bonded for 2 years, the first half will be spent in classes, outward bound school and workshops. Another half in internship. After that, I'll be sold to any banks that wanted me to be their slave. If I wanted to leave during this 2 years, I'll have to pay 45k as compensation and couldn't reject any offer from any banks that wanted to buy me. Oh ya, I'll be paid 2.2k for the first year, 5days work, no leave, no nothing.

Ambank graduate plan. They'll provide me with training and squeeze me into their bank asap. There is a high possibilty that I'll ended up as salesman again because Ambank is expanding their business in non-interest income(NII). Meaning, traditonal banks usually depends on Interest based income which normally includes hire purchase, mortgage loans, commercial loans, etc. Meanwhile, NII includes bancasurance, unit trust and other products and services which bring up the word SELL. I'm so tired with that burden. The best thing is, 2.8k a month, 5-6 days work, annual leaves, medical coverage, house and car loans.

The OSK Investment Bank Operations Associate (OA) Programme is specially designed to develop the next generation of leaders within the Operation, Support and Technology divisions. The programme is an ideal entry point to prepare high potential individuals for leadership roles through a series of structured programmes, rotation and stretched assignments in various Operations, Support and Technology. The question is what am i supposed to do in Support and Technology division.


Don't know which position best suits me, all has their pros and cons..However, will apply all of it and see how's my interview performance

Give and take

There is a lot of students that is telling me working is better than studying.

But same like I always said to everyone, study is always better than working..

Studying u have the flexibility over time, meaning u can control it and have a balance lifestyle. You can go for a movie after class or probably have an evening jog.

While, working in a nine to six basis leave you no choice but to contribute most of your time to your job. So what's the fun? Yes, your paycheck makes it meaningful for the time and effort you contributed for the month.

As i always say, no win-win situation. It's just give and take..

So dont look back and go on with your dreams.


2010 is not only a new year, its the start of a new decade too.


So, i'll set a few things that I wan to achieve in this decade because there will be major changes in my 20-30's and I think achievement should be fulfilled while people are at that age because they are energetic in that life span.


Finally, I would like to seek forgiveness for the things that I've done in 2009 that might insulted and annoyed YOU without my notice. I dint meant it and I'm sorry. In the name of God, I'll try to do everything better from 2010 onwards.
