    So I have sort of finished vibe coding my first version of the app idea that I had. Tested with a few friends and received pretty good feedback. First time putting it out here. It’s an e-learning app to master the skills of “managing your boss”. It can be accessed at the link

    I had enough of getting stuck in the traffic. Today I’m going to try MRT and LRT from Kajang to KL. Let’s see how it goes.

    From my experience, I've got a couple of tips for job interviews with BNM: 1. Make Your Answers Personal - When you talk about your achievements, projects, or portfolio, use 'I' instead of 'we.' Really focus on explaining what you personally did. Instead of saying 'we did this,'

    Reached my office at 852am, a total time of 1hr and 7 minutes. Not bad at all considering the traffic issue at hand. The only thing was I forgot my office access card which I left in the car. But the security was so efficient to issue me a temporary card.

    I wore a custom Indian traditional outfit to my company’s Raya Open House yesterday. A few guests remarked “hey bro salah perayaan la”. I’m pretty sure they were harmless remarks. But I asked them back “how do you think many non-Malay Muslims celebrate Raya?”

    Ini amalan biasa HR kat Malaysia, semuanya sub standard, termasuk syarikat2 MNC yang HR decentralised dan berpusat kat MY, kebanyakannya teruk dan tak peduli pun nak respon kepada pemohon.

    Selek sgt kot, similar to UOB and OCBC, been advertising their ads for contract and documentation officer dari 2022, kita CV terang2 tulis buat contract and document pun tak dipanggil interview. 10x send CV sampai fikir ah tutup jela dept kau kalau nak selek. 😌

    Interesting! I have never worked with EPF to say much about them, but I've got a lot to say about my time with BNM. I'd definitely recommend BNM - 100%. Working there was a high point in my career. I got to work with some of the top people in the country (crème de la crème),

    At the platform at 758am. Got a one-way ticket at RM5.10 to Bandaraya LRT station. Need to change at Merdeka station. It’s already more than what I’d pay for the toll 😅

    I left home at 725am and reached the Bukit Dukung MRT station at about 745am after dropping my son off at his school in Kajang.

    Upsides: - no stress due to traffic - can listen to audiobooks n tweet - environmentally friendly (less carbon emission ☺️) - can estimate arrival time more accurately - lower total cost (compared to toll and fuel) - get to walk and burn some calories (I clocked about 6k steps)

    It’s sardine-packed even after the 3rd station from Bukit Dukung. At least the train is moving as opposed to getting stuck in a traffic and I get to tweet (yes, silver lining and all).

    Took me about 8 minutes to find a parking spot. First 3 floors were all full but if I had known I would have gone straight to 4th floor. The 4th floor was filling up quite fast though at 750am.
