What's Up?

Hey, it's my wife's birthday! And she's over 10 weeks pregnant! So, what else is new? I left the Concierge profession and started working at Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) as an Admin Assistant - Finance. Well who would've thought I'd get a job like this one? I hate numbers, I hate to count, I hate memorizing things and I sure hate anything related to math. Yet, here I am working on finance and accounting. It was tough to start with, still is, but I take it as a challenge. If I don't test my limits and my capabilities, I may never know how good I am at anything at all. Through this job, I had an interesting experience joining the company organize an event called Culinaire Malaysia 2013. I get to stay at an executive suite at some fancy hotel in the heart of Kuala Lumpur for five nights. Throughout the event, we had to start working at 6.30am and wrap it up late at night around 10pm. Though as exhausting as it may be, it was definitely fun. As one of the Finance/Accounting personnel, I was assigned to handle the ticketing counter. Counting and closing almost RM25,000 cash at the end of each day, I'd began to like numbers instead. Me and Ms. Mages, the Executive Finance lady, we counted the hell out of those cash repeatedly until our hands were sore. She is my finance 'sifu'. A very nice lady. So we all just finished managing the whole 4-day event as a team last week with flying colours if you will.
So, in this new job, I get my own namecard. I get some outdoor jobs delivering/collecting cheques and documents from time to time. We organize numerous events like Culinaire Malaysia, Charity Jam and Charity Treasure Hunt to name a few. In fact, the 14th Charity Jam is coming up this 5th of October which will be held at Rum Jungle. This one is going to be very interesting for me because when it comes to music, especially live bands, count me in! And guess what? When that is all over I get to follow them to Hanoi, Vietnam later in that month! It's a company trip which I am lucky enough to tag along with. I think I'm going to be happy here. I finally get a chance to work in an office and get the day off on weekends just like everybody else. No more odd jobs with odd hours and shifts and whatnot. Only, it is much further from home and I have to put up with an hour and a half of traffic jam, daily in the morning, and an hour or so in the evening just to get home. Other than that, I am quite happy so far. I thank God for giving me this much needed opportunity. I also thank my sister-in-law and her friend for introducing me to this job. I meet new, wonderful people here and this will be a very good experience for me. So cheers to me and all the good news I bring. Alhamdulillah. I feel so blessed.

My Tik Tok Video Went Viral!

 Three days ago I shot a short video which had been in the planning a couple of days prior. Before that, I stumbled across a Tik Tok video that really caught my attention. I drew inspiration and information from that video and decided to make my own. So the project began. The video is about how the bank system works. I remember how a lot of people (including me) don't fully understand how banks make their money. The topic about banks is full of financial jargons that not only confuses the hell out of the general public, but also financial, economy and math students as well. Having seen a much easier way to understand this, I decided to make a video about it.  The plot is just a simple dialogue between a banker and 2 customers. It was my first time acting and I played all 3 characters. Thank God it turned out okay and not so amateurish. Shooting began at 10am and I finished editing the video at 3pm, all done in my son's room. As soon as I uploaded it to all social platforms, I ...

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson - A Fight That Never Should Have Happened

Jake Paul is a polarizing figure. Known for his antics as a YouTuber, his time as a Disney star, and his even more controversial career as a boxer, Paul has become a lightning rod for both fans and critics alike. Seven years ago, Joe Weller jumpstarted YouTube boxing—a platform where YouTubers with beef settle things in the ring. Two of the biggest YouTubers in America, Logan Paul and his brother Jake, accepted the challenge of YouTube bigshots from the UK: KSI and his brother, Deji. After winning his fight with Deji, Jake's boxing career took on a life of its own. He elevated the crossover genre, taking on MMA fighters, retired boxers, and even a former NBA player. The thing is, Jake put in the work and won every single fight, with a few knockouts as the cherry on top. You’d think MMA fighters would have the upper hand in a boxing match against an amateur boxer like Jake, but the reality is that boxing is a whole different art. A world champion MMA fighter would excel in an MMA ca...

Credit Cards Are Evil

 All my life I’ve stayed true to the belief that credit cards are evil and debt is the number one enemy of the modern world. My sole principle was to avoid getting into any sort of debt. I grinned every time I see an innocent citizen wallowing in despair as they struggle through the vicious cycle of credit card debt. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would eventually become that person. It all started when I was at an Aeon mall with my family in 2017. Right after buying some groceries at the supermarket, I went to one of the Aeon booths to apply for a new J-card (a card for collecting points). The employee offered a credit card application, but I declined. I told him I only wanted a new J-card. With my daughter in my arms, the dude helped fill-up the form for me. He started out by asking my name, address and so forth. As soon as these questions got a bit too personal, I started to realize that this is not just a J-card application. He was asking about the amou...
