Graduates Are Coming Out

Posted by danielctw On July - 8 - 2008

It’s going to be that time of the year soon. More and more graduates are coming out from their respective universities, more challenges awaited them, and more challenges awaits those in the working field. The time where all the working people are so going to say, what… new competitors for my post.

Though all this can be countered upon by doing a little bit skill upgrades and making sure that you’re worthy to be retained.

I still remember the first few days when I was studying in the college and the day of graduation came. Syioknessss….. It was the time I can finally stop studying and get on to the real business.

Graduation Ceremony

Many years have passed since then, and by the time you know it, where are your fellow friends during those days in college. Especially in a big town like KL, you’ll have friends from all over the city. From north, south, west and east. With the timetable all being so tied up, most of them aren’t that free, same goes to me too.

You know, it’s easier to stay in touch with your friends of your school, college, university when you’re living close or rather in the same housing estate. Well, though I also had a problem doing that with those in my class during my secondary school years. LOL… I used to be in the science stream but then I hardly mix around during that age.

Some people say,
“Friends come and go”
but how about
“Friends that come and are around when you needed them”

Anyway that’s another topic. I tend to go off topic at times.

Seeing that once someone graduates, it’s fun. Well, until the time they started working. They’ll dread their life to be able to go back to studies once again. Why, there’s no office politics, no crazy idiotic bosses telling you that you’ve haven’t finished what they’ve instructed you to do (though actually you know nothing about) and worse come to worst, you’re being put into a danger zone by all your colleagues and managers.

Boring Work

“That sucks wei~~~”

So have I done enough to scare the graduates. LOL… Well, that’s life I supposed. But it’s funny though, why the heck in Malaysia, is there still many jobless graduates. Well, something is wrong here, though I wouldn’t want to point fingers. It could be the education or rather the people and soft skills of the graduates.

Damn the ruthless and lousiness.

Jump As Much You Like

Posted by danielctw On July - 7 - 2008

You know what to do? Everytime someone is on a holiday or going somewhere, it’s good to jump, but some jump in a very creative way. Well, some of them jump like how some other people jump, some wanted to do it a bit different. Some can’t even jump <— HAHAHAHA… Some are just weird when they are jumping.

What’s with all this jumping? Letting you decide who are the jumping winners!!!!

Well, we even had 2 pretty ladies to officiate the jumping festival in Redang Island Jetty.

Nikon D40

Presenting You Jump I Jump Series

Now thank you for the presentation, let’s move on to the participants.

Presenting myself, Hugo Lim and Aaron@Axial.

danielctw failed in jumping

Obviously I failed in jumping, and thus I was eliminated this round. Hugo had a very impressive umbrella ella jump while Aaron has his trademark kung fu kick jump to kick me off the festival. danielctw has failed terribly in this round.

Then it’s a showdown between Hugo and Aaron, who will prevail?????

Hugo Gave Up Jumping

It looks like Hugo finally gave up as Aaron does the Floating Crucifixion Jump. Aaron is doing very well in jumping competition, who else can ever challenge him to this jumping competition. With the first round casualty, Daniel and Hugo already out, who else can it be? Wait… wait….. I see someone coming up for the challenge.

The GGP Jump Story

This comic was done for the benefit of readers. :P

Well, there you have it, no win no lose. It looks like both are expert jumpers. It’s a Aaron & William showdown which in the end turn out to be a new GGP entry.

See the Flying GGP in action.

See the Flying GGP

William and Aaron having a go again with their OK sitting Yoga stance. Can you feel the love…… *pukes in the corner* (no offence to gays out there, no pun intended)

Hehe.. what’s GGP, that’s for you to find out later. By the way, with the way they’re jumping, I can’t even show my superiority in it. I guessed I just have to stick to being a pole poser. A pole poser? What’s that?? Well, in case you’ve forgotten, here’s how it looks like.

Pole Posing

It’s as if one part of my leg is missing. Weird….. Well, too bad… it’s alright. I am what I am. Say, what happened previously that I didn’t blog for quite some days, you guys must be wondering right? So in order to help you people to feel the suspense, this was what I’ve been doing these past few days.

danielctw new theme

Yup, Daniel is preparing a whole new theme, been testing it with any possible bugs and stuffs. Seemingly as this blog has become more of a photography and thoughts blog, it’s wise to choose to be a little bit more stylish. It’s tough trying to play around with all the CSS stuffs and avoiding the <table> option whenever needed.

Be sure to check it out. By the way GGP means Gay Gay Partner.

Once again, if you love reading this, be sure to bookmark or subscribe to my feed and have a wonder week everyone. Adios….

Pointed Flower

Posted by danielctw On July - 5 - 2008

PhotoHunt

Photohunt, is here to stay, and I can’t seem to think of what is pointed besides the ordinary stuffs. So I was actually going out for lunch and I saw this flower in the garden. Says, why not, it suits the theme. Just that I need to reword it.

Pointed Flower

It’s some kind of a plant with lookalike needle like seeds and stigmata pointing out. Well, what flower they call it, I ain’t sure, any flower experts out there? See it’s look pretty needle like, pointed on the side and pointed above.

Well, what can I say, ideas come at the least time you expect them.

Experience For An Interview

Posted by danielctw On July - 4 - 2008

So say, you’re finally finished your courses, your diploma, your degree, now you want to join the working world. Well, it’s not that it’s going to be hard or easy as what they always do tell you in the forums or by your lecturers, it’s some thing which one have to experience.

Though some pointers can really be touched upon as you shouldn’t say this and that, but to what extend if you’re someone who doesn’t really talk much. Well, that’s why I am trying to point this out, sometimes one needs experience when going for an interview.

So you got your first job, but how did you get to go in? Friends? Related family’s business, does this ever help you in another job interview I supposed. Well, it does help with the ever growing knowledge one gets when they faced their ever colleagues or sometimes annoying customers. For someone who’s been very well versed in an interview timing, here’s what one should do, when you’re getting ready for an interview.

Interview With The Fat Bastard

GUYS

  1. Guys please don’t go there as a ruffian wannabe and keep your elbow off the desk, some interviewers perceive this as rude.
  2. Always comb or gel your hair. It doesn’t have to be neat but as long you take the trouble to look neat and even get your hair in a perfect style, then it’s presentable. Well, if you’re bald, then this doesn’t apply to you.
  3. First Impression counts, and that’s what the above rules are there for.
  4. Make darn sure your clothes are ironed. Even if you found out that the company you went for is donning t-shirts during working hours, do not dress in a t-shirt.
  5. You have big muscles, you have hairy chest, you want to show them off to the interviewer… please…. don’t do that unless you’re auditioning for the National Zoo.
  6. While sitting on the chair, don’t fidget with your fingers, keep them still and if you like to move them, just put them in your pocket and play yourself.
  7. Never ever shake your legs while in an interview. Guys like to do this. What the fish man…. you guys have itchiness down there that you need to shake your legs???
  8. Look at the interviewer, he’s giving the questions, statements, pay attention. Of course, don’t blink your eyes like you wanna have a hit on the interviewer even though if she’s a hot chick.
  9. If you have your mobile “daigor” phones, please shut it off, or just put the vibrate mode and vibrate your cock.
  10. Never ever hit on the female interviewer. (You can do that after you secure the job though).

Fuck You Interview

GALS

  1. Gals, you just have to flaunt don’t you, well… flaunt moderately. Why?? What happens if the interviewer is an old aunty.. you’re dead meat.
  2. Dress appropriately to the place you’re going to be interviewed. Don’t dress like a model if you’re looking for a job as Software Engineer. Bad choice….
  3. As much as most people say, office wear for an interview is still the best apparel. Don’t believe me, you can ask Lasker.
  4. You got your Gucci bag. Now you have your special colorful bra that you’re wearing, try not to nosebleed the interviewer or the interview would be haywire.
  5. Sit like a lady, don’t open your legs while sitting.
  6. Never try to act cute or innocent in front of the interviewer. You’re interviewing for a job, not a date. You want to speak soft or act cute, look for me. I’ll be glad to entertain you.
  7. Don’t finger your hair, or play with your lips, you’re not auditioning for America’s Top Model.
  8. Do not wear too bright a color for an interview.
  9. As always, do not crossed your arms showing you’re the lady boss, just sit like how a traditional Japanese girl would put it’s hand at.
  10. You just have to read it all over from 1 to 9 again to ensure you read it correctly.

Crazy Interviews

While In The Interview

  1. Always as always, before starting the interview, have a look at the background of the company, at least when the interviewer is talking about something about the company, you can say… ahhh….. I read this on the website of the company regarding this and this. Shows that you’re interested in the company eh..
  2. Some people tend to give blank stare when the interviewer is asking a question. I do it sometimes, but move your eyeballs sometime to show you’re at least still in the real world.
  3. Don’t over work yourself and always trying to be a smarty pants and keep talking great about the company, the interviewer knows you’re just trying to impress him/her. Impress with moderation.
  4. When it’s your time to ask the questions, don’t go asking about your salary, benefits, how many girls or how many guys, does the company have company trips, etc… All these can be asked upon the 2nd time of interview.
  5. Finally you have read my thoughts about how an interview should go, so pack your bags, and remember to keep this with you.

Now it seems that’s all it takes for an interview to be perfect. Not quite, sometimes it’s never too easy to talk like a natural. It’ll take time I assure you. From the first time I took my interview, I was talking all about myself, literally from how old I was, what I love to do, etc. In short words I was talking bullshit to the ears of an interviewer. So just stick to what you want to present for the post of your choice.

An example, if you’re going for an IT job in JAVA, you can say,

Previously in XXX Company I had an experience in Hibernate but due to some performance issues, native SQL was used to run the program.

Now this sounds very good and indeed it has been my normal practice to wow the interviewer sometimes. Although some jobs demand practical examples…

Ikea Job Interview

Okay this might be too much. But well sometimes you even had to take certain qualification tests before you they call you in for an interview. So better get yourself prepared.

Well, not unless you think you think you’re the most suitable person for the job, then you can do the following.

Big Breast Interview

Don’t messed with the wrong board there.

Visit To Kuala Terengganu

Posted by danielctw On July - 3 - 2008

Welcome To Kuala Terengganu, that’s what the signboard says. Well, actually one would have figured that Terengganu would have been kinda old town but there is a China Town in Kuala Terengganu. I was amazed actually and this signboard was actually what greeted us to the China Town part of Kuala Terengganu.

Oh yeah, fast forward first to Kuala Terengganu post, the shots taken below were all post-Redang island photos as we’ve already left the island. Don’t worry there’ll be more shots of Redang Island when I get my last remaining photos.

Welcome To Kuala Terengganu

So welcome to China Town… and just look around and have a look at the buildings there. Awesome building designs that I thought I could only see it in Melaka of the Baba Nyonya prestige.

ChinaTown Terengganu

Those black stuffs on the sky are swallow birds. It seems one of the houses there housed a few of them swallow birds to harvest their nest for Bird’s Nest Soup. You should have seen, there were speakers everywhere around that area that protrude the sound of Swallow Birds just to attract them there. Good idea.
