Good steal

Air Asia just started another promo (don't they always.. but I guess that's awesome for us) for period of travel from 1 Jan - 31 March 2011.

So I booked parents a trip to Bali.. Tembok Bali to be exact for sometime next March.. Although the flight was not exceptionally cheap, dad said to go ahead.. The resort looks so good.. Mum thought I was coming along haha but thought it would be nice for just the 2 of them to go for the trip without me..

Then I decided to check out flights to the island since I'm thinking of doing my AOWD by April next year.. One way flight was RM3!!! With the airport tax, insurance and shuttle service, I ended up paying only RM29!! What a steal.. and the price I paid for the aowd package with accomodation and transfer was also really good.. Got it at the dive fair.. Now just got to pray that the vis will be good and waters calm..

The purchase of the flight was made quite on the spur of the moment but I figured if I do change my mind I would only lose out on RM29 as compared to what I would lose if I book the flight later..

It's that time of the year..

Woke up this morning at 6am with a massive pull on my left leg.. This is the 3rd time I'm got it in a few months.. It was so painful.. you can't move, can do nothing and the pain just got worse.. Had to wake mum up.. First I thought it was a cramp but then it was just at one particular spot.. Mum says maybe I lack calsium or salt.. Time to go for that annual check-up..

I'm a year old here today!

Boy.. I've made it through an entire 365 days here.. although it seems way lesser cos time's been passing by so fast..

I'm very thankful to be where I am today because in the past 1 year here, I've accomplished more than I ever thought I would.. I've been roped into 4 big projects, of which 2 have already been rolled out successfully.. 1 for end of this month and the other sometime Dec.. God's been faithful as He's also brought into my path many good colleagues, those that continue to support me and make me laugh when days are gloomy..

His favor never ceases as well.. But favor from God is earned and I have to remember not to take that for granted.. Although His grace and mercies are new every morning, it's something to be conscious about everyday..

Lord, thank you for not once letting go of my hand.. that you've brought me through each day a victor and not a victim.. I look forward to the wonderful plans you have for my life, and commit it all to you. Amen!

Compliments from the Big Man

Our CEO posted on our internal blog and complimented our Virtual Career Fair project. Says that after he went to the fair, he himself felt like applying for a job.

Thank you Lord that you've brought us through the successful launch of the project, help us now to maintain it just as well.

I'm excited for tomorrow

Who's the Best Employer?

We won 'Best Employer in Banking & Finance' yesterday by GTI..
How cool is that! I'm so proud to be a part of this organization! Weeeee!!

Another cool note, our Virtual Career Fair was a hit yesterday!
We started at 10am and the site was flooded with hundreds of visitors the whole day long, till we even extended our time to chat with them from 5pm to 7pm..

It's a year long project, hopefully we'll get some really good recruits from it..

There was however 1 negative comment received yesterday.. sigh! Which the visitor decided to blast on our Facebook wall.. but we have responded to her... Apart from the 1 negative comment, we received countless positive responses!

I'm glad to be chosen to be a part of this inaugural virtual fair! Phase 2 & 3 to come in 2011!

Virtual Career Fair

So we finally go live today at 10am! A project a team and I have been working on since February, is finally going live!

I believe that we could have gone live earlier and but due to the changes in vendor etc it was delayed..

I'm proud to say that we're the first in South East Asia to have such a platform.. No doubt many other companies will follow suit soon enough but it feels good to be the first.. With the very limited publicity and marketing we have put forth, we've had a healthy amount of registrants already. Don't really know what kinda volume we'll be getting later from 10am today for the next 1 year but it looks promising..

If you are looking for a job, or knows someone who's looking for a job, get them to register and log on to our Virtual Career Fair... There's also opportunities for them to speak live to our recruiters from all across the region..
