I came across this snowboarding film trailer while browsing youtube. It simply just WOW for me. I really hope it will be showing at cinema someday. If so, I probably will be the 1st person to go watch it. c",)

I've been following this band since I was in secondary school and "warning" was my first original casette [i guess so] that I was willing to pay for what's it worth. Till now, they already have eight's studio album. Below is one of my recent fav song by Greenday, check it out guys. It's freaking awesome! Mind boggling!

Cashier Experience
A tanker offloading diesel and petrol at the station |
After my graduation, I've been looking for a job, I applied hundreds of job openings and after four months of effort, at the end, I got one. Although it's not the one that I have in mind for my career, it's still a job which would give me halal source of income.
"Tomorrow is fine for me,"That's actually pretty fast. I should have told him next month since it's the end of Oct already.
"Nice, we're kinda short of employee right now. So, why don't you come at 7 am tomorrow," He replied.
"Sounds good for me," What? Am I crazy? I shouldn't answer that. From my house to the place normally would take almost half an hour. Thus, I need to wake up pretty early and make my move before 6.30 am.Great, isn't that?
Initially, I did plan to work temporarily at a petrol station if I couldn't get any job in oil and gas industry but just as a part timer. I applied at Petronas Parit Buntar, unfortunately, I didn't get the job. Then, on my way to Nibong Tebal, I stopped by at Petronas Simpang 5 to fill up my tank. I saw an ad there that they're hiring. Just to confirm, I asked one of the pump attendant and he asked me to talk to the manager. After a very brief interview, I was offerred the job.

Then, the manager asked me to enter the cashier counter. He showed me how to use the cashier machine. I talked to my friend who used to work at petrol station. Normally, newbie would work as a pump attendant. Then, if you're familiar wt the station and do a very good job, you'll be "promoted" to cashier. I was expecting to work outside as pump attendant, but then I was asked to be cashier. Myb cz they're short of employee especially cashier, I heard that almost half of the employees resigned in that month.
Using the cashier machine isn't that difficult. Pretty simple actually, just like using PC. The only difference was that it's a touch screen. I learned quite fast, but the only problem for me was to remember the pump number. There were 14 pumps at the station and they were not arranged properly. The arrangement of the pumps was quite a mess. I always get mixed up with it. Cz of that, I had very difficult time to set a pump for a customers if they didn't mention which pump they're gonna use.

After few days, I had to agree with my coworker there, dealing with customer is not easy. You all know that we shouldn't expect the similar things from different people. Every person is this world is unique, everyone of us has our own life and our own problem. Since working there, I experienced scolded by customer which is annoying but you have to face it. In business, customer is always right. If you fight back, then you're done and dusted. That month would be your last pay slip.
wt some of my colleagues |
Personally, I really enjoy working as a cashier at Petronas Simpang 5. I meet a varieties of people which have open my world wider and broaden my experience to a new level that I totally not expected. I had a lot of fun working there. The manager and superviser were nice, my coworkers were friendly to me. I couldn't ask for more. I had great time working there.
Someday, I might own a station.c",) |

Perodua At UK
To be truly honest, I don't know that Perodua does export cars to UK. I never thought about this before. It's not that I'm being bias to the technology that Perodua has, it just never came across my mind.
Recently, I was browsing Topgear website and I read their car reviews. From that moment, I realized about Perodua being available for sell at UK. Sounds exciting, isn't that right? However, Perodua doesn't receive good review from Topgear. Below is the review on Kelisa and a video of what Jeremy Clarkson did to a Perodua car:

"An astonishing feat – Britain’s cheapest car is so humblingly bad it’s not even worth the pocket money it costs. So poor it deserves to benefit from the next Comic Relief."Doesn't matter what people say about our cars, for me it's still a great achievement for a very "young" country like us. If you're driving a car, dont compare yourself with a person owning a helicopter. In order to make sure ourself to be grateful, look at the people below us and use what we have nowadays as a stepping stone to achieve better in the future.
