Vote

I have never had much to say when it comes to politics. To me, all politics is such a boring topic to be discussed. They are all corrupted, all dirty.

The 13th General Election is soaring near. Everyone is talking about who to vote and the good and bads of respective political party. Well for me, they are all the same. Not changing my opinion that one is no cleaner than the other. But I guess this time round, I felt I had the responsibility as the citizen of this country to cast my vote.

Everyone has the choice of their own. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Everyone has the freedom to pick the ruling party. For my rule of thumb, it's simple. If you prove yourself worthy, my vote goes to you. I simply think that politicians should know that the power is in the hand of the people. The people should know that the power is in their hand. So if the people is not satisfied with any ruling, we, the people has the power to change as and when we want. It is time to step up and show the people power. That is what democary is all about anyway.

Changes to might lead to something good or something bad. A change in the government might affect many things. But would we know if the changes would have do us good or bad if we never had the courage to take the first step?

Vote. The power is in your hand. You would never know what one vote could change. Also, let's agree to disagree if our opinion differs.

Yours truly.

Young Maybanker

It is not a big secret anymore that I am currently working with Maybank. It has been more than a year now since I joined this organization and things are working pretty well for me.

Just last weekend, I was in KL for the Maybank Awards Night held at PWTC where I was one of the nominee for the "Young Maybanker" award. Well, I did not win anything that night but I would have to say I couldn't be any more honoured to be selected one of the nominee for that award that was given for the very first time this year. Knowing where I am standing right now is definitely giving me the boost to work even harder to improve myself further.

Did not come back with an award but I did return home with photos taken with some of Maybank honourable people ;)

Top: Tan Sri Dato' Megat Zaharuddin Megat Mohd Nor (Chairman)
Bottom: Dato' Sri Abdul Wahid Omar (President & CEO)

 2nd from left: Datuk Lim Hong Tat (Head of Community Financial Services)
3rd from left: Puan Nora Manaf (Head of Group Human Capital)

So, the two hunks are the other two nominees for the same category of award and we are all from the same Branch Management Entry Level Pipeline (BMELP) programme under different rollouts. BMELP rocks! Go tiger, go tiger!

Month of reds

January is over and here comes February. Month of love. Month of prosperity.

Started 2013 with a bang. Went to KL twice for work. First time round was breakfast with PCEO of the company and second trip was an assessment they called Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory followed by a presentation to fellow management staff. During presentation, they had the full profile of the participants which was pretty scary. Till now, I still don't know what were we assessed for. Finger crossed.

Coming up next would be the month full of red hearts and lanterns and ang pau everywhere. Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year is just around the corner. So this month is suppose to be filled with love and prosperity. Let's just see if mine is filled with love and prosperity :)

Meanwhile, I recently celebrated the 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary for Dad and Mum with family and friends. Been planning it for 3-4 months before the day itself and thank God everything went well. There were glitches here and there but I think the important parts went extremely well. I would like to grab this opportunity to thank all who have contributed. From the programme arrangements, to filling up the programmes, to hosting the night itself and lastly to the great one above for guiding me through all that. Honestly, I have never single handedly manage such an event. Definitely a good learning experience for me. Here is a family portrait of my loving family :)

 

Love from yours truly.

Happy New Year 2013!

Hi! :)

Happy new year 2013! It has been quite some time since there is anything going on here. Honestly, I almost forgot about the existence of the blog until a friend was talking to me and I went...."Oh ya kan! I do have a blog pula kan!". So, I decided to pay this place a visit to clean up the cobwebs.

So, speaking of new year, entirely new chapter in the book of life. Year 2012 has not been entirely great. People got hurt. I got hurt. I hurt people. Not a year I would be very proud of. Last year was full of emotion turmoil. However bad it was, like they always say, setiap kejadian ada hikmahnya. Nonetheless, good things happened in the same year too. At the end of the day, there is definitely a lesson to learn. Let's just thank God for every laughter and tears.

Good riddance 2012. Welcome 2013.

Yours truly.

Happy Birthday, Cousin!

Every year, I would wish this cousin happy birthday. Today, this year, I could only wish from afar after all that has happened. I do not know would this one missing text this year would make any difference but it looks like it does not. Like said before, blood will always be thicker than water. Have a blessed birthday, dearest cousin!
