SL1M Interview

I applied SL1M through jobstreet as I saw the advertisement. Not thinking long enough to click apply button because Im so done staying at home doing literally nothing (besides spending my dad's money like theres no tomorrow). Later after that, I received invitation through email that I had to attend an interview on 10th of February.

So when the day come, I was unprepared because I was so anxious and nothing i read or practice would ever beat my nervous system. The interview stated that it started at 8am-5pm so I thought it was a one day event. So I came 15 minutes late (unintentionally) and everyone already been seated in the hall. 

Notes: Come early no matter what time it states in the email/ invitation

Minutes after that, maybe at 9am or so, they gave briefing on what is SL1M all about etc, gave forms to be filled and an IQ test. A freaking IQ test. No one ever mentioned about it. Not my friends, not the internet. I was pretty nervous since I had tried IQ test on the internet before and the result somewhat not amusing. lol. Btw, they told us that there will be a second interview if we manage to succeed in this one.

Notes: Be prepared on any situation and dont forget to complete your forms and all the documents requested.

Done for the IQ test and the forms, they collected one by one and told us to wait for our names to be called out for the interview. The hall suddenly feel like a graveyard, no one spoke or even look at each other. Every single creaked on the door made everyone looked. Thankfully my name had been called early than everyone else (still I had to wait for more than one hour). The HR guy interviewed me and another girl at the same time. Basic questions like tell me about yourself, family background, your vision and company background. It lasted for 30 minutes (plus minus)

Notes: Make lots of practice and be sure to read through about the company

********

On monday, 3 days after that I received an email saying that I had been shortlisted and had to wait for the offer letter in the same week. Yeayyy that means I no longer had to go for the second interview!! Days later I received another email, confirming my place for the programme and my collection offer letter date. Cant wait to start my classroom training soon!

My 24th birthday

Cant believe that I'm already 24 this year, didn't feel like one frankly. My birthday are long gone since it is already in the mid February. Got so lazy to post about it.

By the way, on my birthday i didn't expect any present/ celebration/ wishes. The thing is when I grow up, I sort of didn't care less about those things. Yela, your friends already have other commitments, some of them are already married, some of them already started working. I'm still a couch potato.

But on my birthday, I was currently going out with my brother and his fiancee finding all the hantaran stuff. I managed to get a perfume from him. Actually I insisted to pay for it since he was trying to save money for the marriage, but then he said it is a birthday present. Guilty.

Long story short, at night after maghrib we stopped at this fancy restaurant, romantic i can say since they lit up candles on the tables (lol cant believe I define romantic just because of the candles). I didn't pay much attention when coming into the restaurant since i was busy played with my phone (antisocial). The waiter referred us to a table with full of decorations. I didn't think much because i was so exhausted and famished. When we're seated, this waited took out this small blackboard and hung up beside me. I thought she was doing something for the decoration until my brother asked me to read what's on the board.

This is what it said

I didn't know what to respond because usually in the family, we celebrated birthday by buying cakes and pizza etc at home. So this kind gesture from my brother and his fiancee - kak ana, really touched me. So we ordered and continue eating, and I expect nothing more since this was enough. 

But.

When I'm done eating, the restaurant suddenly played birthday song and I wondered who's the same birthday as mine. Eventually, all the staffs were rushing to our tables bringing a CAKE! And that was the most 10 second of awkwardness when they sang birthday song to me.

My awkward face -.-

Thank you everyone <3

Mango Cheesecake

Thank you everyone including the friendly staff for making this happen lol. I feel sorry for my brother as he spent so much money for this. I feel blessed to have so much love from the people around me :)

Sick

I dont know what came to me that Ive been sick for the past few days. I have this stomachache that wont go away no matter how many pills Ive swallowed :( I went to see the doctor on Monday, they ran a blood test on me. Turns out my white blood cell is slightly higher than normal. So they treated me as infection. Gave me cephalexin and famotidine.

But that night, I was crying hard as my tummy still ache and I feel nauseated. So the next day, my dad sent me to hospital because I just cant tolerate this pain anymore. They tested my urine but nothing seemed to be serious with it. So they injected me (again, since the day before I dealt with needles to take my blood, urghhh) in order to reduce my pain. But the moment that the medicine kicked in, I felt nauseated, dizziness as any second I will be collapsed and had this not-comfortable-feeling in my tummy. I requested to the doctor to go home.

They gave me paracetamol and antacid. 

And here I am, still dealing with i-dont-know-what-is-wrong-with-my-tummy. The pain is gone but my tummy still feel bloated. Almost all the time I feel nauseated (not because I am pregnant!!!!) and one time I throw up. Gave up my appetite and I lost 2 kg without doing anything :(((((((

"and when i fall ill ,He (Allah) is the one who cures me"

New Year New Me? Cliche

Talk about my last post, eventually the company called me for the second interview *heartbroken*. I tried to be nice and rejected it without to offence the HR lady, but it turns out she feel offended. And ended the call with cold and sudden tutt. Sobs. Even HR couldn't accept rejection as everybody else.

Well, move on as it is 2017 and my birthday is coming soon! *giving hints*. I think I have been a better person than I was years ago, hopefully. I really aim to be better than this too in the future. InsyaAllah. 

One big step that I took last year is to wear socks to whenever I go. It is kind of awkward when you still love your skinny jeans and you wanted to wear socks to cover your aurah. But being me, well I just go with my guts. I wear them both lolololol. I know I am not perfect but I also trying to find my identity. This action hasn't been driven by anyone else, or being forced (like rules in MRSM), it come out from me since... idk, a long time ago but I didn't have the balls to do it. 

This feeling when I first started wearing socks is I feel protected, even at this time I still wearing my skinny jeans (not completely cover my aurah) but those feeling when you obey a little rules by your God, I feel blessed. I really hope that in the future, I am ready to let go my skinny jeans and started to completely cover my aurah. Please don't judge because everyone has been struggling differently and that doesn't make them bad, I do too. I sinned a lot and try to repent myself but by giving bad perception doesn't make me stronger. When scrolling down my media social, I always come across the one that being all ignorant like they're always right and being all judgmental. When they see someone without their hijab, they called her munafikin, when they see a parent scolding their children, they called them uneducated, when they see someone had been through a lot, they told them that they had sinned a lot too and must seek for forgiveness. 

Please stop judging!

Everyone has gone through different struggle and none of them you can handle if it is not meant for you. I always told myself not to judge them because sometimes the worst person can turn out to be better than you. I witnessed this a lot. 

That is why sometimes I like to be away from medial social as much as I can (Not to mention my phone is completely broken). Anyhow, I used to be someone who judge and also someone who LOVEEEEE to share everything. By I mean everything, I literally means every second, my love life, me watching tv or something that offend someone. I am trying to reduce all of that, and focusing the good in everyone also everything. Whatever bad things they had done, there're always good deep within them.

Lets spread positivity and happy upcoming TWENTY FOURTH!!!!! to me.

Job Interview

Hi, Im still unemployed for how many months now? (sarcastic to myself, huhuhu)

Well, in this post I would like to share my experience in the job interview, basically Ive gone to two interviews for now. It went well for both of it, but the fact that I didn't get callback from the first company is quite frustrating :( I wanted to share my experience for the second company;

I submitted my application through jobstreet under sales executive because I wanted to try different position than my current course, especially when they're looking for engineering fresh graduates. Approximately 2 weeks after that I received a call from HR at late evening about 6 pm asking if I still interested for the position, we chit chat a little bit, more like a simple interview asking what Im currently doing, do I posses my own transport, can I change from mechanical (my course) to sales etc. It ended like 15 minutes and she would love to proceed my resume to the hiring manager and if I were shortlisted, she would give me a call.

So another weeks goes by and I forget about the call. And on the Wednesday (a week after that), she called me to arrange an interview. Since I will be attending an autocad class in Shah Alam on Saturday, so I agreed to do the interview on Friday. I didn't give much thought on it, and say yes. Apparently, after that is a bit hustle since I had to re-planned my activity and on Thursday (the next day) my dad and I went to Shah Alam and rented a hotel there. I was rushing to pack, study for the interview, and even the night before the interview I had a cramp and slept at 9 pm. It had been the first time after so long I slept early. The earliest bedtime I went to is at 12 am. lol. 

Next day, after we had breakfast at the hotel, we went to puchong since my interview will be at 11 am. We arrived at 10.40 am, had to wait for awhile then a guy that I claimed to be the hiring manager entered the room. Like always, he examined my resume and certificates and asked me to introduce myself. All is well until he asked me to explain sales in malay. At first I explained sales in english and it was okay. When he wanted me to speak malay, I asked him whether my english is that bad? But he replied that my english is so good (flattered) that he wanted me to speak in Malay. He afraid that I cant speak Malay since I will be dealing with a lot of Malay customers/ clients. This is where I screwed up :( I cant even give definition of sales in Malay, like come on Im not an englishman. I eat nasi lemak, tempoyak and even budu! At that time I felt hopeless. I explained to him that my syllabus in university is in english and it is complicated for me to explain the term in Malay even I know it. What shocked to me is that, he thought that uitm syllabus is in Malay. This is why so many people downgraded uitm.

After that, we talked like a normal conversation and for me it didn't feel like an interview as we being comfortable with each other. The interview ended for about 40 minutes and I can assure you that I nailed it. BUT!

My dad didn't approve it as this job requires me to travel and meet a lot of people (I just didn't understand what is wrong with meeting people??). Also the location is not safe and the company doesn't look professional. This is why people shouldn't bring your parent to the interview lol. I really wanted to experience the job as the salary is quite demanding, but being an obedient daughter, I have to admit to my dad's decision.

After I settled the weekend, I didn't give a thank you email to the HR (sorry :( ) and didn't callback the company for the feedback. It was intentional so I wouldn't give them hope in getting the job. I didn't want to be rude, but also I didn't want to let them down. Maybe they will meet other suitable candidates. I really hope that they didn't call me because I will feel guilty. 

Now back to zero, finding other jobs that suits my dad's requirement. lol.
