It's been nearly 3 months I'm back home from UK.
Last time I was in Malaysia, summer 2010. (2years tak balik Malaysia) Sure, a lot of things I've missed.For example, the existence of coconut shake, pearl(the topping you put in your drink), and route LRT at KL is exactly like Tube in London which is much easier!

I still remember, 2009, I asked my classmate how to go to MARA Building in KL. I noted every single detail he said. Take STAR from here to here and then change to monorail from here to here, go to another station, so I need to cross some roads. Serious agak gelabah masa kat Masjid Jamek sebab kena tukar station. =_="

InsyaAllah, I'm go start working at KL this November. Accommodation is quite an hassle cause I need to find friends and a place near LRT. Kalau jauh ada kemungkinan jalan sorang2 which is quite dangerous. Plus, I don't have a car to drive from house to LRT. Getting more worried when I read a kidnapping case happened in daylight and at bus stop =( If bus stop yang tengah2 jalan pun ada kes, bayangkan lorong jalan kaki....

I'm just hoping everything going to be fine and safe for me. Praying hard that Allah will give me the strength and braveness to deal with all these. Aminnnn 

Phone interview

 I was thinking to write about it. Because I like it. =D

Basically, the interviewer(let say I call him TI) can't see my face and I don't have to travel for 2 hours to go to KL(there is where most offices located, 4 hours if it's a day trip T_T ). Sometimes, I even make why-I-answer-it-like-that-faces after I answer the questions. Not a great part, I sit at my frontyard for the phone  interview instead in my room(I need big space and air). So, vehicle sound interrupted the interview sometimes.LOL

TI called me at 6:30pm and at that time I was organizing the laundry. He said he's from ** Bank. He asked me if I'm available for a phone interview. Of course I said I'm not free and I asked him to call me tomorrow. Plus, it was late(what time is their working hour btw =_= ).

On the next day, he called again. He asked:

• tell me about yourself
• why should we hire you
• other than malay and english, what other language can you speak (thought of korean language but naaa...I'm not good enough to put it in my CV so I said nothing else =D )
• why do you pick us
• are you willing to work in shift
• what is your career plan
• how long are you willing to work with us
• what will make you resign earlier

One thing for sure, he said, "Good"  most of the time after I answered his questions. It's either just a common comment or I gave him good answer. I'm sure it's the first one...

Other than asking, he explained a little bit bout the position he's offering me and the benefit I will get. He said on the spot at the interview, I passed. Unfortunately, I have to turn it down(to go for face to face interview) cause I got a better offer and I could learn more from the other company.

The whole conversation took about 11 minutes. It's a great experience, going to lots of interview makes me more natural in answering interview questions.
