Interview Mania 2!

I was so tired due to the interview yesterday. As I got back from the interview, I went out with my chenta. :) I have been craving on a big baskin robin ice-cream. So, I went to Bukit Raja with him. We had this big ice-cream that we shared! I choose Strawberry Ice-cream cake and he choose Sirius Sorbet. Which is so sour. But the ice-cream is so pretty! You know how big the waffle ice cream cone are..hehe..Due to the nice big huge ice-cream i ate with him, I woke up late the next morning. Or maybe I was a little bit tired from the hectic of being interviewed yesterday. :) Well then my search for food is done. We walk around and I love this discounted seed top! And the most sweet part is he told me that he wants to buy for me for our upcoming anniversary since I won't be around. I love u chenta! Always have, always will! :) Next, back to my interviewing mode. The next day I went to Bursa Malaysia Builiding in Jalan Raja Chulan. 

When I arrived, the place had a very tight security system. I even had to leave my identity card and it is not a normal guard who is taking care of the building but it's a trained policeman. I went up to the 6th floor and am I not surprised. I saw the same guy I was queuing during the interview yesterday at cyberjaya. Then I had a little and short bubbly conversation with him. His name is Chin Di Ming. Funny huh? I didn't even catch his name at first. He is a nice fella anyway. He has this innocence look. :) Well, Di Ming came for a 5pm interview and I came for the 5.30pm interview but then we were called up at the same time. Pity Di Ming waited so long the other day and now he has to wait for so long again today!. 


Well, I was interviewed by two people today. Reena and Amin. Both of them are wearing casual clothes. I think I'm going to like working here despite the working hours :) Here goes my interview with Reena and Amin!


Reena: Hye Shazana, My name is Reena and this is Amin.
Me: Hello! :)
Reena: Hye!
Amin: Hye!
Me: (smile)
Reena: So, Shazana when you are ready you can tell me something about yourself.
Me: Well, everything is stated in my resume. I'm a girl.
Reena: (laugh)
Amin: (laugh)
Me: I'm 22 years old. Just finish studying in Universiti Putra Malaysia of Bachelor Economics majoring in Finance. I took all the finance core subject. From Islamic finance to investment. Everything.
Reena: (Blah..blah..blah..says the same thing about working hours and shifts and holidays) is there anything you want to ask her Amin?
Amin: How good is your bowling skills? (smile)
Me: ermm..
Amin: How much is your average score?
Me: I haven't count it yet. But 3/4 of the time it goes down the drain.
Amin & Reena: (smile)
Reena: Any questions?
Me: If I am being employed. Where will I work? Here(KL) or Cyber?
Reena: Why? Is there any preferences?
Me: I prefer Cyber.
Reena: Jeng! Jeng! Jeng! (laugh) For credit analyse we only have in KL.
Me: Ow. Ok. Anywhere is fine with me.
Reena: Ok. Since you'll be leaving for Abu Dhabi, we'll contact you around January?
Me: Ok.
Reena: Currently. For me is an absolute YES. Amin?
Amin: YES!
Reena: Both of us says Yes. I'll recommend you to the HR department. Then we will come back to you in January then.
Me: Oh Thank YOU REENA! Thank you AMIN!
Reena: So that's it. We'll see you in January. (smile)
Me: Thank you reena! Thank You Amin! 


I think I just got a job! Did I just got a job in HSBC?? How exciting! When I told the story to my father. He says " That's it. You can stop with the job hunt" :) Is that a good sign? From what Reena and Amin says, does that mean I'm 90% going to get the job?  Owh! I can't wait for January. At first I had this desire of taking a look at the Bursa Malaysia main board. I wanted to see it for real. 

But then, I was too excited to tell the news to Mommy and Daddy who's waiting for me downstairs. I forgot to stop at the Bursa Main Floor. Damn! I was like this close to take a peep at it! Oh my! Never mind then, maybe it was just not meant to be. But maybe someday somehow. Till then.

Interview Mania!

Last Tuesday on the 7th of December 2010. I had my first interview, with the HSBC Group. I was wrong. I thought it was the HSBC Bank, but actually it's only the subsidiary of HSBC Group. Whereby in a big company called HSBC Group have this little children named HSBC Bank, HSBC Finance and so on. I went to the interview for the post Global Support Executive in the HSBC Eletronic and Processing base in Cyberjaya. I was scared at first. I went there alone. Mommy and Daddy left me there all by myself. They told me that it was time that I learn. Fine! I went in and ask. There were so many people! I was shocked, then I talked to this girl beside me. She told me that after the assessment test there is an interview straight away! I was not being told! Never mind then I guess, daddy told be that being honest and frank would be the possible and right way to act! :) I arrived at 12.00pm sharp! Was told to wait in the lobby until 12.30pm then the registration starts. 

I waited and waited. Then they called in for the assessment test. It was an English Test BUPLAS from Cambridge. The test was about Grammer, Cloze Passage and Listening. One question was allocated only 30 seconds to answer. I answered all and shockingly that I was the first one to exit. Haha :) Then I was told to wait outside. As I was waiting, this lady from the HR Department called some of the candidates. She was talking about something I was not sure off. Then one of it was the girl sitting right next to me. I asked her whats wrong. She told me that she did not pass the assessment test and that's all for today. What?? That's all for today??? Oh my god! I was nervous wrecking up and down! Then they told us to wait for our interview. I was like WHAT!! What interview?? I was not being told. I didn't read anything about HSBC! The depressing part is that I was the last one to be called for the interview. This lady Suzanna called me in for an interview. At first I was scared, but then I just had to go through it! :)


Suzanna: Is this where you sit for your test just now?
Me : Nope, that one.
Suzanna: I see, then this is not being vacant just now?
Me : Yup, Excuse me, is there something wrong with my test?
Suzanna: No. Not at all. You did good.
Me : Thank you (with a smile)
Suzanna: So let me see. Shazana. Can I have your application form please?
Me : Sure. Here you are. (While handing it)
Suzanna: Can you please fill up the date and month.
Me : Sure.
Suzanna: And between your SPM and Matriculation, what did you do?
Me : I worked in a Shoe Shop. Ermm, Primavera!
Suzanna: Okayh, let see. Why do you choose HSBC?
Me : Because..ermm..Because...
Suzanna: (Smiling)
Me : You see, I always see my mother use a HSBC credit card since I was small, and recently, HSBC just open up a    
        branch in Shah Alam. It's everywhere.. :)
Suzanna: Okayh..The working hours here are shifts and there are no public holidays according to our country, it depends 
                on which country you will be assigned to. Are you ok with that?
Me : I'm ok.
Suzanna: And you will not have a leave for Raya. It can be applied but subject to changes. You do celebrate Raya do you?
Me : I'm ok with that. Anyway, I'm staying with my parents now. And eventhough I have to come back home late. It will 
         still be in the same day. So, my parents will be at home when I come home. It will still be raya. Right? :)
Suzanna: Oh yes. You're right. (Laughing) So. Is it ok if you have to me to KL and sometimes to Cyberjaya from one time to 
               a time?
Me : I'm ok with it.
Suzanna: In terms of transportation. Are you ok with it?
Me : I'm ok with it because i'll be driving. I'm ok with both of it.
Suzanna: Ok. So when do you thing you can start?
Me : 4th Jan 2011.
Suzanna: Why is that?
Me : I'll be flying to Abu Dhabi this Thursday.
Suzanna: I see. What a nice holiday.
Me : Oh yes. :)
Suzanna: Can you please tell me you weakness and yous strength?
Me: My strength would be I'm a fast learner. I pick up things very fast. urmm..
Suzanna: ok.So are you a team player?
Me: Of course I am..hehe :)
Suzanna: (Laughing)
Me: (Laughing)
Suzanna: How much salary would you be asking?
Me: Around ****
Suzanna: We have a job opening but its <****? Are you ok with it?
Me: I'm ok.:)
Suzanna: Do u want to work in Cyberjaya or Kuala Lumpur?
Me: Both also I'm fine :)
Suzanna: (smiling) Ok, I will arrange you for your 2nd interview on Thursday. Let say 3.30pm
Me: mam, I'm so sorry but my flight is on Thursday and I have to be at the airport by 5pm.
Suzanna: Oh yeah. I forgot. Ok. Why not you go tomorrow to our base in KL. around 5.30pm.
Me: ok.No problem.
Suzanna: So how am I going to summarize why you choose HSBC? (laughing)
Me: I have no idea! But when HSBC pops up the net. I straight away zoom to it and oh! HSBC! hehe (smiling)
Suzanna: (laughing) Ok then. I'll schedule you for tomorrow at KL at 5.30. You know over there at the Bursa Malaysia 
               behind Maybank Tower? ( smiling)
Me: I know! I know! :)
Suzanna: Ok then. ( gives hand to shake) good luck for tomorrow..
Me: Thank you..:)

When I came back to my parents. They were eating at a nearby restuarant named the Saba Restaurant. It's Arabian food is the best over there! Then Handith Chicken..Nyum! Nyum! My parents sent me at HSBC early at noon since it's my first time interviewing and everybody is so excited about it! :) Exactly when my father pick me up. I asked my dad. " Daddy, where is Bursa Malaysia??" hahaha. Till then.

Swimming Day!

I went swimming with lala, yana, and wy. Later then fid came along. :) The call me out of the blue wanted to hang out. I was shocked. Well, this is what friends are for. They are always there for you when you need them. I love them for who they are, and for what they will always be :) We have been friends since we were in Form 3. We were in the same class. Lala is the type if girl where she likes to talk. I mean a lot. She's very very humble and friendly! :) Well, wy is the type of person that is very quiet. Oh! and more important. Wy is very very polite, she's soft spoken. Yana is the same like Wy. She is soft spoken and quiet too! Fid is kinda rough when we were in school. But when I met her yesterday I was shocked! She is so pretty! She has changed a lot. I'm so happy to be friends with them. If we count back the years, it has been 8 years! and we are still together. How lovely! I love them with all my heart. Lala was having this heartbreak problem. But then she seems more than fine to me..:) We were laughing and laughing like nobody business..:) Suddenly, while we were swimming. There was this old man who called the guards and showed something on the roof. Then Lala and Yana was wondering. Wy and me have long sighted problem, so we can't  really see..:) Then this guy told Lala and Yana that he saw someone on the roof, and it looks like he is going to JUMP! Oh my goodness! At first we were shocked! But then we laughed. It's kind of funny when that guy who swam with us was taking too much precaution with the surrounding, but it's good! :) Later, we all when to Darul Ehsan at Section 9 to have dinner together. Everybody was eating because we were so hungry. Then, Lala kept on her heartbreak story that is so funny. But Lala, don't worry. We are all with you always :) I didn't get to take some pictures yesterday. But here they are from my very own. Till then. :)

The left in blue is Dolly, nowadays she is so busy working :) The pink lady is Yana. She is so sweet. This picture was taken back in the year 2008. When we meet up first time after finishing school. We when to Pavillion and Bukit Bintang. :)

The left one in Brown is Lala. The red one is Wy. This picture was taken in the middle of this year. The cam to my house surprisingly! We all had lunch together. How nice. I was suppose to cook for them, but I didn't have time to prepare. How sad. It's alright. Maybe next time. I love you guys dearly, Friends forever..:)

People Always Leave.

Why do people always leave? I know everybody do have those question in their head. No one can answer this question. It's god will. No..They still love you. But....Oh crap! Don't be sad people. I felt it once. Actually more than once. How it aches through my heart and brain. It damages every single bits and pieces of life that is still left of me. How terrible can things be once you know something that was suppose to be hidden. What do you feel if you know something that was not suppose to be known. Damn! How too much love can ruin your life up and down. How no love at all can also ruin your life up and down. How everything was suppose to be perfect but it doesn't turn out how it was suppose to be. How the perfect things that happen suddenly known to be none! How you wish that this world is a better place to live. How you wish that you could just wash out your current life drop it in the washing machine, and replace it with something new, better and clearer. Life is not as simple as we think it is. Life is not as simple as A B C. Life is something we should learn everyday in my life. Life changes everything and it was suppose to happen gradually as what we want them to be. We rule our own life. We show what we can do and we create the path and passage way for what life was suppose to be. 


I lost someone once. Not only one. Losing a boyfriend doesn't make us hurt badly, but losing a boyfriend that loves us back hurts deeply. How I wish I have a grandmother. To talk and tell tales of all the happening things in my life. How I wish she was here to be with me through it all where I could have her as a place to run to. I lost my grandmother way back. Actually both of my grandmother. I didn't even get the chance to even get close to them or even grow up with them. My grandmother from my mother's side, we called her "maktok". She was pretty. Small eyes with fair skin. She is even smaller than me. My mama have her looks. Bits of it. When I was 3, we move to UK and stayed there so long up to 4 years. I seldom talk to her or even mail a letter to her since it was in the 80's and there was no "skype" or "ym". I haven't heard from her for a long time. When I was little, mama seldom send me to her. When I came back to Malaysia she was gone. She died because she fell in the toilet. I was sad. the most sad part is, my grandfather had a heart attack, and he was shocked to see my grandmother lying in the bathroom. He fainted on the spot and when unconscious with my grandmother at the same time. How love kept them alive until they were gone. Love kept them strong. Love makes them move on. This is when they say "till death do us part".


My grandmother on my father sides pass away due to breast cancer. I didn't even get to know her or even talk to her. She died in the year 1988. That year I was in mama's tummy. I'm so sad I didn't even get to know her at all. I didn't even get to taste her cooking at all. Maktok likes to cook "nasi kicap marjerin + telur". Untill now when I miss her I'll make that dish and eat it on my own. She loves feeding me and my grandfather doesn't like noises. So he tend to scold us and says that "if you make another noise, i'm going to tape your mouth with this big masking tape!". Later, my brother and I will team up to find his masking tape and steal it and hid it from him. How funny that time! :)


Now, my life still have to go on. I'm a sister with one big brother and one small brother. With a set of parent. I'm close to my big and small brother. They are my heart my love my soul. They are everything to me in this big wide world. We grow up together, we play barbie together. We skate together. We sing together. We even had lice together. We cook together. But time changes, and everything change. My big brother is going to get marry next year. We had some miscommunication the other day and sadly he didn't handle things well. The sad part is that he chooses his going-to-be wife over me his "sister". I know deep down in my heart that sooner or later, that one day I'm going to loose him. But I just don't know when. Now, we seldom talk. Things will never be the same. My father told me that soon everyone will have their own life. To me, we don't have to change, everything could be the same, if we just know where our heart remains. But then, no point of losing and no point of fighting for something that was not sure. I just had to let him go. But I will always love my big brother with all my heart and soul whole heartedly. Because to me, he will always be the man that always make me smile and give me the shine whenever I need a light. Now it's just me and my little brother, but I know that one day I have to let him go too. He's growing. He is going to be a handsome and intelligent young man one day. Even though I always scold him, but I do have faith in him. And definitely I do love him with all my heart and soul too. I love you my two brothers! Forever it will be. Cause it's both of you that held me high. Cause that's all I need to reach the sky. I love you both for eternity.

One Fine Day with Nisa! :)

Today was just another day in my life that had just pass through. I went out with my "hot mama"..hehe.. ms. Nisa ..She's the best! We promise to meet up at Sunway Pyramid to have lunch and catch a movie. My father send me there and pick me up there too! I feel like I'm a school kid back all over again! How nice! :) I book the ticket yesterday night. Guess what story! "Rapunzel"! I give two thumbs up! The best! Mandy Moores' voice is just at pace with the cartoon character. Everything was so smooth and triple funny! The guy was Zachery Levi. His voice in the character was awesome! You guys should try listening to his song featuring with Katharine McPhee "Terrified". It is the best! I'll put in the clip for you guys to listen! It is in one of my top all time favourite music to listen! :) 

Before we went to watch the movie. We had this big and humongous lunch at Carl's Jr. I nearly can't finish my burger. It was so big and delicious! But I dislike the nugget part. It tasted a little weird. The burger was Double Western something something. I can't remember, the part where I do remember is the part where I feel like it takes ages for me to finish it. But I did! :) Take a look at my freaking big burger! :) Huge huh? It was extremely satisfying! This was my first time eating at Carl's Jr. The water can always be refilled! Cool huh! There was no line at all at the shop. I meant by there was no one queuing at the line to by the food, but then the sits are all full! Nisas' food look much better than mine. Mine was only large. I didn't know that we could also choose either beef or chicken. How cool is that! :)

After finishing eating our lunch, Nisa told me that she wanted to do pedicure. So, we went walking around Pyramid to look at the shop with the best price! We ended up at Asean Avenue at the highest floor! There was two shops that did pedicure over there, but one was full. We walking in the shop with the less customer because we don't want to end up waiting for hours. At last we did ours for approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Yup! It was long! :) I laugh and laugh because I couldn't stand the lady touching my feet. It tickles! :) Nisa was laughing too! Because she couldn't understand was it pain or ticklish. I saw Nisa reading a magazine. Then I ask her we did she get that, she told me it was beside my chair under a table. Guess what! I couldn't reach it, because my belly was too full! I couldn't bend over to reach the magazine. Funny! 

Right after the pedicure, we went to the maxis center. The place was swarm with people! I got number 1118 while the current number was 1108. That guy told me that it's going to take about 2 hours to get through. How lovely to waste our time. So I took another number that has the least people waiting on it and deal with the roaming business. Done in 20 minutes! Then we straight away went to the cinema to get our popcorn. We fell in LOVE with the Rapunzel popcorn set. We ended up buying two. Each one. How tempting with lots of popcorn!
We finished our movie at 9.30 pm. I straight away call my dad to come because it takes time to arrive here with all the hectic road. We spend our time by taking pictures since it's going to be Christmas already. The decor was lovely. So beautiful up to the extend there was so many people are trying to take their picture. Some of them came with their love one. Well I came with Nisa. We love each other :) Here is one of the pictures that we took. The others are in my facebook album. Feel free to add to view :) Lovely isn't it :) Finish taking pictures we set back home. We hug each other goodbye and call it a day. We promise to make a one month once pedicure date! :) Later when I get back home my dad's cousin and my aunty were waiting to have dinner together. We had a nice big dinner consist of 15 people in my house! I love noises! I love when the house is in a mess! I love people coming to the house! :) Well, what a tiring day! Till then.

Happy Friday!

Normally people state that Friday is the head of all days in a week. Alright then, I think I'm just not making any sense for the mean time. :) I woke up early today. Stomach ache. Badly. :( As early as 11am my fathers' cousin with his whole family came to our house due to the convocation that is being held in UiTm Shah Alam. His son is graduating. How jealous I am waiting patiently till next October! They came so early I didn't even have the chance to take my bath. Secretly and quietly I slip into the bathroom and bath. To embarrass to be noticed :) When they arrived this morning, mother had to pick them up in front of the guard house because it seems strict these few days to enter our compound. So, me as a lovely child when and offered my mother to help by keeping all the groceries that mummy just bought from the market really early this morning. I was helping my mother so that she could have her breakfast before our guest arrived. As I was keeping the raw fish and chicken, my mother told me that I could eat when she went out to pick them up. I totally agree because I was extremely hungry! :) Right after finish packing things up. I took my "soto" and sit in front of the tv watching "Iron Man 2". You know how much I love movies! :)


As I was eating, mummy arrived with the guest and suddenly BAM! My mother went ballistic. She went furious. I just didn't understand what went wrong. Then I realized. All the laundries are everywhere. The newspaper was flying around. The plastic bag that was full of STUFF was in front of the entrance. Right in front of the ENTRANCE. I forgotten! I forgot to pick up and clean up everything like I was told to so. I told mummy that I'm so sorry. I was so hungry at that time and I just couldn't think straight, and it's all the IRON MAN's fault!! hehe :)


Even though only ended up watching quarter of the movie and later in the evening I continued watching. Two thumbs up for "Iron Man 2". I really love it. Robert Downey Jr looks gooood! :) Later in the evening I fed my turtle. It refuses to eat! Oh why is this all happening. One just died. I just can't handle one more. What went wrong? I have changed it's water but yet it stil doesn't want to eat. I think it misses its friend. Oh well, just got to go and find him a new one I guess. Till then. :)

What a Day..

Today I was terribly LAZY! I woke up and switch on my computer. Applied to all that I can see for jobs! How funny a simple job can sometimes make us lazy and sometimes make us hardworking. This morning I woke up at 11am, watch "The sorcerers apprentice" yesterday night! Two thumbs up! It was marvelous! How Nicholas Cage played his role was funny! The "prime Melinean" guy was absolutely nerdy and cute :) The ending was really great! Out of 10, I am really giving it a 9! :) Around 12 pm today a lady from HSBC called me to ask me to come for an assessment test in Cyberjaya. How cool! The problem is that the job stated that I will be working in shifts and no Malaysian holiday. I mean NADA! Everything depends on which country am I being stick too! I called Mr. Boyfie and talked to him about this job application, and it turns out that he is more than alright. Apparently he has been so supportive towards me about this job and also about me applying to any other jobs. He said that everything is alright. Just go and sit for the test and interviews, and everything will fall into places. It's the experience that count. He has never let me down! :) I am so grateful that I have him. May god always bless our relationship..:) Well, in order to avoid me from keep on looking back. I have printed out the assessment test form and also the application form. It is only about time to fill it up and send it over. The test would be on next week Tuesday the 7th of  December 2010. It consists of math test, grammer test, analytical test, logical test and typing skill. My goodness! They really know how to test people.. :) Really looking forward to it. Till then.

First Entry!

How lovely..the first entry of my blog life. Since I always wanted to create a blog for let me see..LAST YEAR! :) At last..Well, diary of my life..I'm a girl who has been living for 22 years ++..madly in love with reading and writing. Just finish my bits and last of my bachelor degree study..currently trying and hoping to get a job..going to presume my study approximately one year from now. What else? hurmm..oh yeah! love traveling. Have been traveling a lot lately. I meant A LOT! A LOT! :) Going off to Abu Dhabi to stay with my cousin for a while in 9 days more! Feeling rather excited and scared at the same time. What ever happens if I took the wrong plane? I guess too much of watching "Home Alone" sequence this past few days. :) 




I am currently struggling to make a homemade card for my dearie for our 2nd year Anniversary. I just love making things for him. I even love making surprises too! :) Whereby people always say that doing it by ourselves means a whole lot more than buying I guess :) Well, I always have this "thing" in art and craft and it has been so long since I made something by myself for someone. Just hope that this card will really turns out great unless if I accidentally wreck it last minute. While I was cutting out the bits of colour paper, I suddenly thought of listening to the Michelle Branch album "The Spirit Room". How I remembered I love listening to her music since I was 15 years old. She has this thing of making other people feel the music. She has this absolutely breath taking sense of style. I learned how to be simple by her. I fell in LOVE with shirts and jeans. Looking at her when I was 15 made me want to be her. So I ended up wearing lots and lots of shirts and jeans until NOW! :) All her songs are so into it and it  never fade. It is just so nice listening to it and do make me feel calm. One of her songs that is my all time best favourite is "Breathe". I really love it! I've been listening to it the whole day! Over and over and over again! How soothing when songs been put in our head. I just love listening to songs and spend my whole day dragging into those words. Maybe I choose the wrong profession..funny! :)
