Last year around September-November most of university in Malaysia held a graduation ceremony and I was one of the graduates.

Graduation is just one-day ceremony to recall those memories while you study and such a big present for your effort throughout the study year.

But then, that is where the true life challenge starts! You have to look for a job. For what?  may be to pay your debt! Especially for those who take PTPTN or any other loan. *like me

Here is the real struggle. Since nowadays, to get a good job related to your study and meet your qualification may be as Degree holder is really hard. The competition is getting higher, plus most of the companies are looking for experienced candidates more than fresh graduates. 

Dan kita selalu complaint kalau tak bagi peluang macamana nak dapat pengalaman kerja.

As per July 2011, there are 71,000 people with diplomas or degrees remains unemployed.

That is why, governments and most of experienced worker have advised us to not being choosy for the first job. It may not relate to your study, it may be hard and It may be not your interest, but you have to do it since people are asking for your experience if you want to hold a good position. *Bersyukurlah for those yang dapat position impian untuk first job

Remember, nothing comes easy! You should put effort to find a job that may benefit you in the future and also please put effort to learn and gain more and more knowledge as possible. 

I'm lucky that I get an offer after almost two month 'menganggur'. I started looking for a job since I was in the final semester. Most of my seniors are advised the same thing. The pointer / CGPA is not really important as long as you have the confidence to speak and you have a knowledge related to the position you applied. 

The government also have established and run some program for fresh graduate such as SLIM, GEMS and other training that giving the graduates opportunity to learn and gain knowledge plus skills even the allowances is just 1,000-1,500 (MYR) per month. It's okay for starting. Take that opportunity to growth.. After one month or 6-month training you may get the chances to become the permanent worker in that company. Nothing impossible as long as you give 100% effort on it.

I'm not the one who brilliantly or expert on this kind of things. But I want every on us to get what we want even it may taking us too long to get it. I also have my dream to be an expert in my dream field and to be a great business woman. Have faith in god and in shaa Allah, sooner or later you will get what you want.

For GEMS (Graduate Employability Management Scheme) *I've join this program right before I get the job, gain a lot of knowledge and soft skills. Later I share pengalaman join training GEMS

Also, please check on big and well-established company website (career opportunities) because some of them offer training for fresh graduates. 

Good luck everyone!

Money & Travel

Money? Where is it coming from? Salary? Business income? Parents? PTPTN? Loan? Investment? It doesn't matter where it came from, as long as it was Halal and it's yours (legally)

Spending money for travelling. For me that is 'one' of the best way to spend your money. That means, you invest your money to gain experience. That's good because experiences are valuable.

I do have a dream to travel around the world. But before this I have no time and no money indeed.
This year I'll make it happen. I've planned some short vacation or maybe the longest is one week vacation in Jakarta & Bandung, Indonesia, which is coming February, and Singapore in May and 'InsyaAllah' Korea.

I also have plans to do some short & simple trip, known as 'backpackers' trip to some places in Asia include in Malaysia! and the first trip will be Northern Malaysia (Kedah & Penang) end of this month.

But then, the most important thing you should have before you realize all that dreams is TIME, MONEY & KNOWLEDGE. Yet, I'll try to achieve it and always remember you live only once and you'll never get that chances & opportunity again if you died. and of course that time you'll travel to another world.

********

Anyway, soon, I'll write more on travel and feel free to share more stories and experiences on my little adventure. Well, I know I'm just a beginner, where people have already stepped all over the world while I'm just going to start. But it's okay, late is better than never right!

That Decision.

a year ago, you ask me whether I'm agree to follow you or not.

not one night but several night I think about it and perform 'istikarah'. I dont want to regret one day, that is why I force myself to think and think ..

I'm a sinner, I cant let myself to make more sin after sin I've made. I feel like I become ungrateful person :'(

But then, I accept and agree to go with you. We decided to do it together. Less than 24-hour we made it!! I cant really remember how does it feels, but I remember that I feel suddenly strong, I want to be better, I just feel something like 'phew' .. and I hope we can continue our life as strong as the starting. Because I know, the finish line is just near to us, but to reach there, we have to cross a rivers, climb the mountain and we might be falling down, drowning. 

At that time, I hope you're the one who clean my cut and wipe my tears, I'm the one who keep supporting you and cheers for you like what cheerleaders did. 

Because its between us, and only us! not involving the others. They dont even know what is going on between us !

and I have to be so strong ! I have to ! Its Compulsory to be strong ! I'm happy that you're stronger than me . :)

As we go on, please please please . settle it down faster and make it official ASAP !
