Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba Interviewers biasanya kurang ajar ka?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Context:

Lebih kurang seminggu yg lepas ada la jumpa satu iklan kerja di Facebook ni, letak iklan kerja details dia x brapa mau cukup. Dia cuma letak lokasi kerja di mana, tarikh bila, beberapa kekosongan jawatan dan beberapa benefits la. Dalam caption iklan tu juga dia masukkan Ijazah Sarjana Muda (Degree) sebagai salah satu syarat kelayakan dorang.

Jadi saya WhatsApp la nombor yg tertera dalam iklan tu, tanya soalan sedemikian. Tanya skop tugas Dan syarat kelayakan, just to make sure kalau mmg dorang mau ambil lepasan degree. Sekali replynya, eh, begitu seja. Tidak apa la, tunggu esok ja la.

Keesokan harinya pula, saya hadir interview, bolehlah, moderately prepared. Pakaian kemas, rambut kemas, penampilan kemas, ada resume saya bawa. Dia tengok sy punya resume, dia tanyalah beberapa soalan. Ok dia notice my resume punya work history tidak berapa konsisten, with a huge gap juga actually. Dia tanyalah kenapa saya tinggalkan kerja saya yg last. Naturally kalau saya, saya x suka cakap buruk pasal siapa pun, not even my ex-employers, not even my worst enemies. Aku bagilah jawapan yg, neutral. Then dorang attack saya. Terkilan juga saya masa tu. Why do they feel the need to belittle me? Kasi tinggi suara apa bagai saying things like "Kau tiada kualiti budak degree!" just because I speak a certain way. Eh, kalau bukan sbb poster dia, caption dia, iklan dia kurang detail, dan dgn dia punya WhatsApp skadar mcm ni seja, ndak akan aku dtg buang masa minta kena hina seja. Banyak lagi benda yg lebih bermanfaat boleh dibuat.

Dah la. Penat.

Tl;Dr: Hadir interview tapi kena kinkshame 💀

Podtuongisan | Travel & Tourism Schooling Bumphead Parrotfish at Sipadan Island

There's a link to a longer video here if you are interested in more bumpheads - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq9tdYfI8ys A single bumphead parrotfish creates approximately 200lbs of sand every year. There are 120 (thereabouts) in this school at Sipadan who make around 24000lbs of sand, about the same weight as a school bus or three African Elephants. Thank you for the beaches bumpheads.

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba I got the BKNS Scholarship recently but now I got another Scholarship Offer

10 Upvotes

Hello all,

Recently, I actually managed to get the offer on BKNS Scholarship and i was truly grateful because I've enrolled into my degree for awhile now and I have been self funding myself by doing part time work and all and live frugally which was pretty hard, for context as well, im studying in peninsular malaysia currently. I also already accepted the offer and submitted the documents required, so im just waiting for the offer letter and the fund to be deposited to my account left.

However, just few days ago as well, MCMC contacted me that I also managed to get an offer on their scholarship which was MCMC Care. Honestly, I applied this without any hopes that I would get it but here I am.

Due to that, I now have some dilemma and not sure what should i do because i have 2 options that i thought i could do now which is;

  1. Cancel my BKNS application and accept MCMC Scholarship
  2. Reject the MCMC Scholarship and just continue with BKNS.

However again, now my issue is,

  1. when I accepted BKNS, they did provide me with Surat Perjanjian so i know the clauses and agreement to accepting the scholarship but there wasn't an offer letter therefore i do not know how much am i getting as well. Its been few weeks now, i called them recently and i heard that the fund and offer letter will reach to me by november/december.

  2. MCMC just contacted me verbally on whether i want to accept or not, i will not receive the details of the documents of agreement letter/offer letter/amount of how much im getting/ and etc, until i confirm back to them via call or email.

In short, basically, i am lacking info to make a decision for my dilemma and im hoping that there's some BKNS/MCMC Scholarship alumni/recipient or anyone, that could perhaps share with me anything that they know so i can decide on which offer should i take on.

I guess that is all from me. Sorry if my explanation is bad, I hope you can help me because i have 1 day left to decide.

Thank you

Ruput Pogun | Sabah News How safe is the area in terms of armed attacks or kidnappings targeting tourists?

9 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I are planning a jungle tour along the Kinabatangan River in Malaysian Borneo. How safe is the area in terms of armed attacks or kidnappings targeting tourists? I’m originally from Ukraine, so armed attacks are a particularly sensitive topic for me, and I’d really appreciate honest opinions from people who live there or have visited recently.

Tbh i rate it 8/10. Taste similar to kfc, less sides probably cause it just opened. The honey biscuit was alright, but a little bit too sweet and i dont like the butter used for it.. i’ve tried better biscuits out there. Id go back cause i think its good change from kfc if ur bored of kfc. Oh also, free refills? Nice

Podtuongisan | Travel & Tourism How to DIY St. Michael’s Church from Kota Kinabalu Airport?

7 Upvotes

Hi! Has anyone tried going DIY from Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) to St. Michael’s Church, Kampung Kambau, 89500 Penampang, Sabah, Malaysia?

I’m planning to visit on my own and would like to know the easiest and cheapest way to get there. Is there any practical public transportation from the airport to Penampang, or would Grab be the better option?

I’d appreciate details on the approximate fare, travel time, and whether any transfers are needed. Is the church easy to reach for a first-time visitor without renting a car or booking a private tour?

Thank you.
