Melodies of Life

On the 18th March 2017, I was lucky enough to be invited to Mi Malaysia's Redmi Note 4 Experiential Event held at Monkey Cup Cafe in Penang. Since it is an experiential event, therefore I am going to talk about my experience at the event there. The venue was large enough to accommodate all the invitees and parking spot was easy to find.  Nice cafe feel right?? (Photo credits to Jennifer ) When I first enter the room, I was already given a Redmi Note 4 (3GB RAM + 32GB ROM) to have my hands-on with. For the price of RM 799, my initial reaction before getting the phone was "Hey, it is a budget phone, do not expect too much of it." However, this was not the case. Overall, the phone was build with premium quality with a metal back and a 2.5D curved display glass at the front. When you held it in your hands, the design somehow hold sturdy at your palm. My index finger naturally rest at the fingerprint sensor and the display immediately turns on. The display is AWESOME!...

Working for mulit-national corporation (MNC) has been an eye-opening experience for me so far. When I first started working here, I noticed the employees mostly graduated from private universities (from the likes of Monash University, University of Nottingham, UTAR etc.) rather than public universities like UM, UKM or UMP (my uni, God bless) and this makes me ponder on one question - What happened to the ones from public universities? Are graduates there really that incompetent comparatively? Or is it because of their exposure? OK so it is more than one question however, I would pretty much like to know the answers.  Communications To me, it was several factors, not only the private varsities has more exposure to better companies but better companies are more willing to hire them as well. Why? One, students at public universities has communication problems. Not only they are bad at speaking up, they are bad in English as well (when I say bad, I mean sucky). As much as I ha...

It’s been 3 years since I worked on selling Apple products and finally it comes to the end of a chapter. Today is my last day working at Switch – the widest Apple Authorised Reseller in Malaysia. For 2 years I have been working in that service line has not only improves my communication skills but also makes me hypothesised that humans are not as smart as you think they are. I think I can say that I have come across all kinds of customers in my years working part time there. Some of them just asked the silliest questions I have ever met in life and today I am here to reveal them. Note before I start: -As many of you already walked in to an Apple reseller/store before you already know that they only sells things that are only compatible with Apple products. -Make sure you know what is an iPod, iPad and iPhone first. -Last but not least, I want to say a simple thanks to all my colleagues that help me throughout all these years. Thank you. 1) “Where is the latest Samsung...

Staring at the dark ceiling as I force to shut my eyes - it would not.Turned over to the side of the bed trying to get some sleep - I could not. Staring at my phone, it's half past 3 in the morning what can I do at these times - nothing. These sleepless nights has been dragging on for a week now. It haunt me so bad until I finally decided to blog about it. As I have just graduated, everyone is getting ready for the job world. The job world has a lot of advantage - you get more knowledge, you earn money to reduce your mom's expenditure and finally you can start saving and treat your girlfriend that fancy dinner you saw on TV that you always thought it gives the idea of romance. However, that was not the case for me. Although there's one side of me being happy and finally given that sigh of I-did-shitzzz-in-uni-and-yet-people-want-me. Yea I am happy with the fact that I secured a job, happier when there are job offers but somehow I feel afraid. The worst part - I DON...

So I stumbled across a friend and he said to me "Wah Admund, I read your blog the other day, you mature a lot." My immediate answer was "My blog got porn?? Where? Where? I wanna see it too..." (Hint: It's right after a photo) Then came an awkward reply "No la, I mean in terms of writing compared to last time. Last time, after a while stop and came back you said you improve and better and new la. All sort of things but this time it's different you just go straight into writing the point and I enjoyed it." Okay so the first thing that came to my mind was "You read my blog since long ago? Wow! How long have I been writing?" Guess what? It's more than FOUR YEARS!!!! I never knew I have been blogging for 4 years already. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my avid loyal fans out there. I don't know how much you read but one thing for sure, I have blogged on almost all my feelings in here before. So thank you blogger for...

"Three sentences for getting success: Know more than others. Work more than others. Expect less than others. "(William Shakespeare)   In order to succeed in life, you should put lots of effort to reach that succeeding point. However, do not put an expectations in your effort too high. If you fail to achieve it, you will end up disappointed and demotivated. Now don't get me wrong, not putting your expectations too high does not mean you are not ambitious. You can still set yourself to high goals, just remember - baby steps. You know how baby walks? When they first started walking, they take a few steps then they fall to their crawling position, however they do not give up. Although they did not stand up again but their goal was to reach his/her mother's arms on the other side. Having lower expectations increase ones life too. Humans are really weird being. We tend to think negatively whenever there's a chance. Yes, its true. If not why you think there's ...

Ahh. yes... Black Day (April 14)~ A day where all singles get together and talk about how sad and pathetic their lives are... BITCH PLEASE... Not necessary when you are single you are sad and pathetic. There are lots of things to do out there as single. For 24 years staying single, I have been observing those who are actually in a relationship. Trust me, just because you found someone to be with in your life, does not mean you will feel complete and happy. Being in a relationship has its downside, there's commitment we single people cannot see when in a relationship. What we see its only on the outside, what happen between those two internally might be a different story. Being single has its perks, you gain more freedom. You can do your personal things/hobby anytime you want without another person bothering you. You have the whole bed to yourself. You can dress as messy on days you are lazy. You can flirt with that cute girl over the counter. You can sleep  in the night anytim...
