~When God closes a door, He opens a window~

"When God closes a door, He opens a window'

This is so true that I had experienced it myself.

Fast forward from the bad news that I had received, where I had been asked to resign voluntarily on early of December; I received job offer at the end of December!

It was withing the same month that I had been given the opportunity to experience the phrase  "When God closes a door, He opens a window". I had been stressed out lately, not only for the resignation, but also on the home loan where it had received bad news too. I hope other bank will consider my joint application with my brother.

Although I am still searching for the best loan and still hoping for the best to come, I am relieved. At last, I do not need to worry on the job security. I know that I should be thankful for the event to take place, where the request for me to voluntarily resign had speed up my chances to have a better offer. However, I am not forgetful about how badly I had been asked to leave. It served as a lifetime lesson to me that we do have horrible people surrounds us, and do not trust people easily!

Nonetheless, I can breathe in ease now, as the nightmare with those horrible people should ceased soon.

Been told to resign voluntarily

I had personally received bad news consecutively...

I had been called to enter for a private one to one discussion session at office, and somehow I had been told to resign voluntarily. It was not a shocking news to me, as I had personally felt that this might happen sooner or later, with the current situation faced by company in the local market.

Hence, I asked if this is a Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS), and my business manager had proudly said that it was not VSS. He asked me to tender resignation, and work as usual to serve the resignation notice, and then to leave. In this situation, he had emphasized that it was not VSS, and there will be no compensation, and would like to see me to tender my resignation by the month end. Since there is no other third person in the discussion room, I wish not to continue the discussion with him, and told him that I will consider about it.

On the next day, I had inquire with HR about this, and they had informed me that they were not aware of it. "Slow to hire, quick to fire", is quite a risk to the management, as it is not easy for an employer to lay-off their employee without proper compensation or without proper documentation to fire. At the moment, the business manager is pretending that he has nothing to do with it, and company HR had informed saying that since they are not being notified at all for such incident; I had been told to work as usual.

However, the company had express that they might want to downsize and would really hope to have less head counts. I guess, this served as a "hint" from the higher management that they would like to proceed with the official lay-off per stages. Therefore, I had been told to quickly look for a job, and to tender my resignation as soon as possible. What is more inhumane to hear, was that the business director had express his point of view from higher management perspective, and he had spit out unconsciously that he can easily issue letter of misconduct to lay-off employee immediately.

What could have been worst than, you lost job, and place to stay soon?

Since company is not willing to appreciate you, hence, it is time to leave the company soon.

P/S: Some HR friends had gave in some valuable feedback regarding to this.

1. If there is no warning letter prior to the issue of Letter of Misconduct, the employee is entitle to file in a complaint with Malaysia Labour office (Jabatan Buruh Malaysia).

2. If the Management if allowing the lay-off, the letter should be signed by either the business director or business manager to acknowledge that they knew about it. The letter should not be from HR alone, and the employee should not act by just listening verbally. It should be all documented.

3. Should the business manager wish to proceed with company lay-off, they have to ensure there is a third person present in the discussion room, which is preferably the HR personnel.

4. If the company wish to proceed with the lay-off, they have to pay the compensation according to the letter of employment resignation period. This is applicable to those employees earning more than RM2500 basic. Hence, no company is allowed to lay-off their employee without proper compensation. This could be brought in to industrial court shall the employer is being ignorant about compensation.

A decision that was made 4 years ago had caused me lost credit score from bank.

A decision that was made 4 years ago had caused me lost credit score from bank.

Just would like to share my situation with readers, if are searching or googling something similar.

I had a joint loan with my sister, for a condominium named under my sister and brother in law. Why is that so? At the time of purchase, my brother in law had already own second house, and if were to loan for a third house, his joined loan with my sister would only be around 70%. Hence, he asked to use my name for it, and it was a total disaster to use my name now, for a house that I did not own.

Bank would not recognized that as our internal settlement. Bank would not know that my joined loan with my sister for the condominium is not wholly under my commitment. It was a joined commitment divided between 5 person. Each has to contribute a small portion and this, is not made know at all with bank.

This loan of mine, which I do not even own anything from it, had made me realized that, you should not easily agree to use your name for loan, even if that's your sister husband, your brother in law, as he is just related to you by law. He has nothing to loose, if anything went south. I had regretted on this, ever since I know I will have harder time to apply for a loan; all no thanks to my brother in law.

You know what's the best part of it? I am going to be jobless soon, and he is asking me to move out from his house. This is what we call related only by law. They can put relative, relationship near to their mouth, but never to their heart. Therefore, if any of your related only by law is asking you for any loan or whatsoever, please bear in mind that they had nothing to loose and we can lost everything!

Tai Feng Taiwanese Hot Pot (台風台式火鍋 )

During down time, would like to put up at least something that create happiness for me.
This was a throwback dinner, when I had saw this place at The Landmark for quite a while. Thought of to give it a try and, walked in for a hotpot. Klang Tai Feng Taiwanese Hot Pot (台風台式火鍋 )

They offer a wide range of healthier choice of hotpot steamboat. They had their own dipping sauce, which it quite to my liking. Tasted like some friend chili flakes, with peanut sauce and fried shallots. This place is quite crowded during dinner peak hour. You may want to call them for a reservation, if you plan to dine in for this hotpot during peak hour.

Shocked, to first arrived at Dhaka Bangladesh

Shocked, to first arrived at Dhaka Bangladesh, where the citizen would drive and cross the road as to their liking. There are traffic rules, and none of them is abiding it, except when there is presence of traffic policemen.

Imagine, you will cross the road everyday, risking your life or either being knocked by the on coming traffic, or from the opposite traffic. They can drive from the opposite way, even though it is the main road at the city. Yes, they do have overhead bridge or underground subway to cross the road; and those are only available for one or two places. I did not notice any zebra crossing or pedestrian stop either.

Almost 90% of the time, you will hear vehicles honking for the traffic, and it would not stop until near 2300 hour. The amount of noise pollution at the surrounding is good enough to raise your blood pressure, and not to forget that it started as early as 0600 hour.

Aside from the chaos of the traffic and the noise pollution, the airport security is stringent. When one foreigner is entering the country, the arrival card must be filled, and one must be able to provide a local phone number for the authority. Moreover, when one foreigner is leaving the country, there is another departure card to be filled in before entering the immigration counter.

To enter the international airport in Dhaka, one must line-up and there are a lot of the un-sincere airport security personnel will target the tourist or foreigner to ask for tips or they will pretend to help you for money. Not a surprised that even the airport security open their mouth asking you for money before putting up baggage for scanning. Perhaps this is their usual practice, but this is way to much corruption. Imagine is one had bad intention, and to smuggle any illegal items? All they do is to have money to pass to these security and they can enter freely?

Not a surprised that when both me and my other colleague collected our baggage when arrived at our home country, we noticed that our baggage pass-code had all switched to 000, and sign of our baggage had been searched prior to our flight. The internal compartment of my baggage had visible knife cut and visible sign of force ripped-off.  The same baggage had been used for entering Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, China, and San Francisco; and nothing happened. If you were to ask me that would I go to do sigh-seeing at this country? No, I would not, not at the moment.

Ragnarok M: Eternal Love

Ragnarok M: Eternal Love
Playing this nostalgic game again after almost one decade of not playing it. It brought up memories of creating a acolyte character to a priest and reincarnate into high priest. 

Thought would like to change into playing a different job in RO mobile. Hence, created a mage, and waiting to change job into wizard soon at Geffen.

Screenshot of my pet "purring" while overlay-ed with another character, that brought a lunatic pet.

Throwback on Taiwan trip~


Remember those were the days where we went to shop crazily at Taiwan 7-11 just because their food is too fancy for us.

While it was a foggy night for us uphill, and we do not  have much choice, but to shop at 7-11 for foods to fill our empty stomach!

 One of the chips with fried eggs+oyster flavor. It was flavorful to us~yummy.

These were the items that we had purchase to fill our stomach; while it was cold at night, we did not forget to get the soupy instant noodle to warm our tummy.

This, the fruity flavor beer from Taiwan. I personally like it so much, as it as mild taste of the pineapple juice flavor with 3% of beer.
