My opportunity cost....

Early this year, I've been attending an interview at an international engineering company, based in Lumut. The manager and the HQ HR manager impressed with me (macam perasan lah plak...). Then I've been promised the position at the site in Lumut Port. I'm very excited... can't imagine.. working in international company with the people from all over the world without stepping out from my own region... will enhance my working experience and embark my career further. The best part is, the head office in Manjung next to the MoM course of IIUM. My work commence as the chief engineer arrived Malaysia. But it happened, the dutch man had some personal issue. Delayed a month... Have time for survey rental house and some preparation to move to Lumut.

Finally, he's in KL but refused to have an assistant. The HR manager informed that they will wait for couple of month. Probably he need an assistant. At the same time, she asked me to still keep in touch for any progress.

April gone... June gone... July... start seeking for other opportunity... I'm still teaching my tiution girls. Having market research project; transcribing, recruiting, field work. keep me busy until I've made up my mind to something else.... such a huge decision in my life... have adjusting my life to conform with the new environment

Today, afternoon. I received call from the HR manager. Offered me a position, much better job in Lumut. Would be located at the head office in Manjung which mean... next to the IIUM learning center... It's too late madam... but she still asked me when I'll available... after more than a year, mam!

Anyway.. thank you for your thought on me... me too still remember the casual professional interview that we were having.

Well...opportunity cost, marginal benefit, marginal cost I'm having...

Loghat teman, siri 2

Bertemu kita lagi dalam slot Mari belajar loghat teman. Kali ini kita akan mempelajari satu istilah yang agak tidak menyenangkan tetapi perlu diketahui. Perkataan ini ada yang tidak diketahui oleh kawan saya yang lahir dan dibesarkan di Perak. Tidak mengapa...janganlah dituduh Yong ni Perak murtad... tak baik... Perak ni luas. Bahasanya berbeza-beza atau mungkin juga makbapaknya dulu bercakap KL di rumah... jangan marah2... baik, perkataan tersebut ialah Ghenyang Cara disebut: ghen-nyang. Maksudnya: Desakan yang melampau dan menyebabkan orang yang didesak berasa rimas. Dalam situasi yang merimaskan, istilah ghenyang ini boleh juga digunakan. Yang menariknya, perkataan ini adakalanya boleh menggunakan imbuhan me dan di pada pangkal perkataan. Ia juga boleh digandakan. Contoh-contoh ayat: Ayat 1 " Teman ni la, pantang kalo oghang jenih meghenyang. dah teman kaborkan. tak nak bagi gambo penuh tu, paham la... kalo dah ghenyang sangat, gudbai je la, wassalamu..." Ayat mudah difah

"Sekinchan is a little town in the middle of the main rice-bowl area of Selangor, in the Sabak Bernam district." Sekinchan - pertama kali saya menjejakkan kaki di sini ialah sekitar penghujung Disember 2007. Saya ke sana untuk tugasan projek dengan sebuah syarikat penyelidikan yang beribupejabat di PJ. Pengalaman di sana memang menarik buat saya. Saya akan bekerja di luar daerah yang asing dan bekerja berkumpulan dengan mereka yang baru dikenali. "Hi! Hello!" pemula bicara, esoknya terus bertugas bersama. Sehari sebelum perjalanan dimulakan, kami berkumpul dan diberi taklimat produk serta semua yang berkaitan dengan tugasan kami. Kami akan ke sana berkumpulan, seramai 4 orang. Projek ini akan dijalankan di pekan Sekinchan selama 3 hari berturut-turut dan perlu berulang-alik dari PJ ke Sekinchan (saya pula ditambah; KL-PJ). Saya bertolak dari rumah di Kuala Lumpur dan terus ke PJ, seawal 7.00 pagi. Pada hari pertama, kami menaiki sebuah kereta yang dipandu oleh seora
