Industry: Management Consulting<br />
Position applied : Analyst (entry level)<br />
<br />
The interview process is divided into two stages - phone interview and interview day.<br />
<br />
A. <u>Phone Interview</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
The interviewer would like to know more about the details stated in the resume.<br />
Very simple, just share with the interviewer like your academics record, co-curricular activities, etc.<br />
<br />
After phone interview, candidate (me) is required to complete an online behavior / attitude test.<br />
<br />
B. <u>Interview Day</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
The Interview Day consists of three sessions: Individual case study, Group Assessment, 1on 1<br />
<br />
(i) Individual Case Study<br />
<br />
Candidate is given a case study. After 20 minutes preparation, candidate will need to discuss the challenges, solutions, justifications and impacts with the interviewer (1 on 1).<br />
<br />
My case study is about the merger of two petrol companies and the merged company wish to enhance the convenient stores at its petrol stations. The company is currently facing problems in a few areas such as biling system, staff problem, marketing,etc.<br />
<br />
Tips: To me, the key to tackle this case study is PRIORITISATION of challenge / problem faced by the company.<br />
<br />
(ii) Group Assessment<br />
<br />
Candidates (3 person a group) are given about 20 - 25 mins to brainstorm ideas together and finally present to the panel of interviewers. No Q&A by the interviewers.<br />
<br />
My group topic is about organising an event for youths that can raise their awareness about environmental sustainability.<br />
<br />
Tips: I guess the interviewers are probably observing candidates' skills in: presentation and teamwork. Do present well.<br />
<br />
(iii) 1 on 1<br />
<br />
A relaxing session and this session is actually not an interview. This is a two-way dialogue between the candidate and the consultant.<br />
<br />
The consultant would like to know more about the candidate and basically the consultant briefs the candidates about the company, the position and answers any questions by the candidate.<br />
<br />
The candidate just need to participate in the conversation and ask the consultant any questions especially the responsibilities of the position. <br />

“黃金屋"是許多人夢寐以求的資產,打造“黃金屋"更是多數人追求的目標,不論資產金額大或小,“黃金屋"的夢想未必遙不可及,只要稍微用點心思,大家都有可能實現夢想,能擁有自己的黃金屋。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
當然,個別人士對黃金屋定義的闡釋可能有些不同,對一些人來說,只要房屋讓居者感到舒適,一家大小健康平安,其實不需過於挑剔;房屋面積雖小,一樣可以打造為度假公寓,對有地房產的業主來說,將房子打造為花園屋,也是不錯的概念。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
每逢佳節來臨前,人們需要將房屋裝扮一番,也有一些人趕在農曆新年前,入住新購買的房屋。一直以來,農曆新年是華人最大的節慶,每隔3、5年,多數人對家居進行“補妝",讓房屋展現亮麗的一面。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
另外,也有一些人無法割捨已住了多年的房屋,包括房屋所在的地點,他們會在農曆新年前的6個月或9個月,暫時搬離本身的家園,在附近租一間房子,把家園徹底改裝,待裝修後,呈現在眼前的是一間全新的“黃金屋"。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
古語說:“書中自有黃金屋、書中自有顏如玉",求學時期教導學生認真求學,鼓勵別人或自己的子女用功讀書,日後方能實現“黃金屋"夢想,足以證明“黃金屋"的推動力是相當大的。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
“黃金屋"指的是富貴滿堂、榮華富貴的生活,認真追索,“黃金屋"出自宋真宗趙恆的《勸學詩》,也有人稱之為《勵學篇》。“書中自有黃金屋、書中自有顏如玉。"這兩句話,概括古代許多讀書人讀書的目的和追求,勉勵讀書人用功讀書,並將擁有“黃金屋"視為人生奮鬥的目標之一。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">書房<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />放鬆心情</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
現代多數的家庭,會在自己的房屋,闢一間讓自已放鬆心情的書房,書房也是一個給我們補充知識的地方,我們有不明白的時候,就會到書房的書柜裡,找一些能幫助我們的書籍,例如百科全書,書房裡少不了一張書桌、一張書椅,還有高大、寬敞的書柜。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
書柜的典雅有助於加大書房的魅力,激勵一個人愛書的情懷,愛書的人也會經常給書柜添加一些書籍,一眼看上去,書柜裡的書都很充實,裝滿各種各類的書籍,可以提供全方位的學識。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
“黃金屋"的外觀設計簡約樸素卻不失時尚大氣之風,從書房格局、燈光照明、文具用品的擺放,掌握書房的風水,打造一個聚氣養氣的“黃金屋"。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">陽台<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />呼吸自然</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
另外,現代都市家居生活裡,陽台是個不起眼的角落,也是大家鍾愛的地方,大片玻璃的落地窗,讓居者視野寬廣,涼風習習吹來,倍有心曠神怡的涼意。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
陽台是住宅最空曠遼闊的地方,與大自然最接近,飽吸住宅以外的陽光、空氣及雨露,是家居的納氣之處,陽台的佈置宜清新爽朗,不需過於講究。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
大多數的家居都有一個陽台,有寬有窄、有大有小,放置幾張耐晒的桌椅,打造為美麗的空間,在閒暇時間,三五好友相約在陽台的月光下品茗、聊天,除了聯繫感情,也可紓解忙碌的生活壓力,即經濟又實惠。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">餐廳<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />創意混搭</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
有些人房屋面積寬敞,擁有比較多的實用空間,例如雙層、雙層半或三層樓的超大型有地房屋,業主可以將其中一間房闢為音樂室,或是在書房隔壁設一個會客室,真的是很寫意的一件事。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
家居裝修市場漸趨成熟,而且也漸趨理性,人們開始摒棄固有的觀念,重新審視傳統裝修中的實用性和裝飾的目的和意義,清新、簡約,可以反映主人對家居風格的要求。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
另外,混搭風格餐廳有一種獨特的趣味,形成另一種不同風味的概念,給現代家居裝修帶來更多的時尚特色,無論是從造型還是色彩上面,都有其他風格不同的創新概念。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">壁紙牆面立體<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />色彩變化無窮</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
市場上不少裝修商指出,家居裝修風格越來越前衛,現在已經很少能見到不加修飾的白牆,牆面的裝飾顯得尤為重要,個性壁紙裝飾也越來越受歡迎,超有創意的壁紙讓家居牆面更為立體感,功能性更強。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
在熱帶居住的我們,常年氣溫如夏,不如換掉厚重的家居擺設,對環境友好的大自然風裝修,是大熱天解暑的家居裝修法之一,讓家居接受陽光,不要炎熱,同時,保持透涼的舒適感,顏色和材質都很重要。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">閣樓<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />特殊空間</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
創意掛鉤是一種掛在牆上的創意家居用品,是當代家居裝修裝飾中常用到的家居飾品,蝸居斗室也可以煥然一新,打造地中海度假式或歐式的風格,體驗不一樣空間感。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
新古典主義是古典風格與現代風格的結合,其突出的特點是在當代新建的房屋中,有意識地保持歷史上流傳的古典建築形式和風格特徵。今天,在家居裝修中又掀起了新古典主義浪潮,這種風潮大行其道,獲得許多年輕人的喜愛。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
閣樓是整個家居裝修設計一個較特殊的室內空間,一般情況閣樓具有低矮和不規則等特點,所以,在設計過程中需要全盤考慮,營造一個休閒自然的閣樓空間,將閣樓空間打造成“空中書房",在牆上加創意壁紙,也是不錯的概念。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">裝修<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />質量兼顧</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
可是,要打造黃金屋,需要有資金、時間或管道,而且也要選對時機,計劃才能夠落實,許多有過在新年前裝修新屋或舊屋的人普遍認為,不應該在太靠近農曆新年才佈署房屋的裝飾工程。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
裝修工人為了趕工,可能影響房屋的質量,而且收費的商議空間有限,因此,比較妥善的辦法是提前數月開始裝修,在時間充裕的情況下,可以確保裝修好的房屋不失水準。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
嚴格來說,簡單打造“黃金屋",不一定要花許多錢,農曆新年前購買植物盆栽、擺放得宜,一樣可以令房屋生色不少,五彩繽紛的吊飾,飄揚在前廊或大堂,同樣可以讓房屋展現新面貌。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">選購房子講求務實</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
說到“黃金屋",產業專家認為,在土地日漸減少的今天,只要是一塊可轉換為住宅產業用途的地皮,都是寶貴的資產,面積較大的可以建成有地房屋,工程師/建築師通過設計,將土地打造成“黃金屋",或是將舊的住宅大廈改建,以便具備現代化設施,可以更好發揮產業的住用功能。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
當今的產業發展商,將一塊面積不大的土地建成數百個單位的服務公寓,取得接近千萬或上億令吉的營業額,可以說將地皮打造為黃金大廈,並成為發展商的金錢搖籃。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
不論是在本地或外國,特別是在一些黃金地段,如果位於策略性地點,即使是廢墟,也可以打造為漂亮的“黃金屋"。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
在雪隆地區有不少類似的例子,只要規劃得好,兩、三英畝的土地,發展為很棒的產業計劃是大有潛力的。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
撇開綜合產業計劃不說,一、兩棟高樓大廈,數百個單位的公寓,基本都是業主們的“黃金屋",儘管面積有大、有小,經過業主對溫暖窩的精心打扮,一樣是很不錯的“黃金屋"。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
發展商在促銷其房產單位時,標榜款款都是“黃金屋",還有“黃金屋"的吸引力,買家在選購時,同樣是構思如何將這個嬌小的單位,打造為漂亮的“黃金屋"。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
從交通、安全性、生活機能、價格、格局,探討個人對合宜家居的要求,再對“黃金屋"的格局做進一步規劃。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">購屋資金<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />仔細盤算</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
假如意識到可能出現意想不到的情況,那我們準備擁有“黃金屋"之前,一定要做足功課,千萬不能忽視做功課的重要性。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
許多人都有同感,第一次購買房產多少會失算,或判斷錯誤,購買了不理想的單位,造成自己的“黃金屋"夢想落空。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
一個人如果購買了坐落在好地點的房屋,增值快、增幅大,在很短的時間內翻倍上漲,簡直就是一間很棒的“黃金屋"。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
如何鎖定好地點的房屋,以便將“黃金屋"捧在手中,成為自己的溫暖窩?對於購屋新秀來說,可能需向一些有購屋經驗的前輩取經,多留意房產的資訊,以及多瞭解購屋的點點滴滴。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
由於今天的屋價已經相對較高,如果準備打造自己的“黃金屋",應該準備好一筆首期購屋款,這筆錢可多可少,但最起碼也要有3萬至3萬5千令吉。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
我們以大馬平均屋價為基礎,一間價格20萬令吉的房屋,算是中價單位,10%首期屋款已用去2萬令吉,剩下1萬令吉用在律師費,勉強可以夠用。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
假如是在巴生河流域,如果預算購買20萬令吉的房屋,可以鎖定普通公寓,在市郊物色這一價位的房屋,一般不會有太大問題。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
如果購買的是發展商興建中的房產單位,加上發展商提供免律師費與印花稅優惠,剩下的1萬5千令吉可以用來簡單裝修新屋,假設是在轉手市場購買,那麼可能需要預算多一些購屋款。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“黃金屋"未必指豪宅</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
購屋者協會中文組主任陳鍾靈表示,“黃金屋"是個人對房屋家居的設想,事實上,沒有所謂的“黃金屋",我們可以將很貴的房屋比喻為“黃金屋",也可以將位於黃金地段的房屋形容為“黃金屋",又或者可以將這樣的比喻和形容說成是一點也不貼切,那是夢中才有的境界。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
我們也常聽說“黃金時光"、“黃金年華",“黃金時光"、“黃金年華"指的是人生最寶貴的階段,當然,我們也可以將“黃金屋"視為人生中最寶貴、最重要的資產。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
不管怎樣,“黃金屋"確實是許多人一生中,所追求的其中一件價值最大的財物,這件財物輕則數萬令吉、重則數十萬令吉或是上百萬令吉。有些人可能需要動用畢生儲蓄,也有些人可能用了一生的時間,才以分期付款方式償清這件財物的貸款。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
有鑒於“黃金屋"的珍貴與重要,當我們在追求她的時候,務必要謹慎看待,避免一個大意,賠了儲蓄之後卻只能遙望“黃金屋",無法成為自己屬意的財產。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">購屋到入伙<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />時間規劃</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
根據標準的買賣合約,假如購買的是有地房屋,例如單層或雙層排屋,發展商與購屋者簽署買賣合約後的24個月內,必須交屋給購屋者;如果是分層產業,例如普通公寓或共管公寓,發展商與購屋者簽署買賣合約後的36個月內,必須將新屋交給購屋者,若發生逾期交屋問題,發展商需按條例給予購屋者合理的賠償。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
如果是在轉手市場購買,買方與賣方簽署買賣合約後的3個月內,必須落實交易,若無法在期限內完成,買方必須根據買賣合約的條例,賠償賣方遲領取屋款的損失;不過,假如能證明延遲落實交易,是因為賣方或其律師的失誤,那麼,遲完成交易的利息罰款,不應該由買方負責。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
在轉手市場購買房屋,購買的是永久地契、或非永久地契產業,這裡邊是有分別的,買方如果看上的是一間99年契約的房產單位,交易需尋求有關當局的批准,待取得批准後,3個月的落實交易有效期才開始計算。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
講得比較清楚一點,如果向州政府提出申請等了3個月,交易的完成需要6個月的時間,當然也有可能不需要6個月,但是,超過6個月的時間也很常見;購買非永久地契的購屋新秀,要有這方面的心理準備,如果預算在新年前可以搬進設想好的“黃金屋"過年,很有可能失算,這些都是常有的情況。</div>

<span style="color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">結語:</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
我們為自己打造“黃金屋",是人生規劃中一盤重要的賬目,這盤賬理得好或不好,都足以影響個人或家庭接下來的生活質量。若要避免出狀況,凡事還是要謹慎看待,量力而為,確保不要看走了眼,那麼擁有“黃金屋"的夢想將轉為事實,成為真正的“黃金屋"主人!(星洲日報/投資致富‧新春產業)</div>

<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">房產的設計、格局與發展趨勢,跟隨時代的腳步不斷演進。近年來,馬來西亞在房屋特別是高檔公寓的設計、格局與配套也開始革新,並出現新的趨勢,其中一部份是參考澳洲、香港及新加坡的模式,使到房產的面貌展現百花齊放的景象。</span></div>
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></span><div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">這些年來,通過業界人士、產業行家的觀察,不難察覺房產的設計與格局已不斷在革新,這是之前未有的現象,預料未來將朝這個趨勢繼續邁進。本期文章將房產十大新趨勢綜合起來,為大家簡略敘</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">述。</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1.提供一攬子配備</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
香港、新加坡地少價格昂貴,許多時候,房屋發展商善用公寓寶貴的空間,讓冰箱、冷氣各置其位,不只不會阻礙空間、也整齊美觀。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
這些標準化的設計,讓買家在購買房屋後,不需煩惱物色裝修商,同時,也讓先後遷入新居的業主,不需因為鄰居正在進行新屋裝修,影響生活的質量。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
不論是安裝壁櫥、冷空調系統及其他的裝修工作,都會帶來嗓音及影響週遭環境的衛生,因此,一攬子配備,其實利多於弊,當然,業主需要接受這樣的售屋配套,包括接受某個品牌的電器,例如冷氣機、冰箱、熱水器、電視機等等。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
今天,吉隆坡不少新建的高檔公寓或服務公寓,也採用這樣的建築模式,Bukit Kiara產業公司在滿家樂一帶的高檔公寓,有許多是這樣的格局,發展商與電器供應商合作,讓後者為公寓提供優質家居配備,買家省卻領取新屋後的許多後續工作,只需拿起裝了衣物的旅行箱、餐具、書本及基本的屋內用具即可入屋居住。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
坦白說,有過搬家經驗的業主都會同意,搬家是一件累贅的事,而且許多時候,在搬運的過程中,一些家具可能受損,幾乎是很難避免。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2.增建服務公寓</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
前面說到,可供建屋的土地日漸稀少,為了應付單身上班族的需求,以及讓更多人有能力購買所建的單位,興建面積較小的服務公寓,已經成為城市新建房屋的新趨勢。一個面積在1千平方尺以內的單位,對一個單身的上班族來說,活動空間是足夠的。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
這些服務公寓,多數建在基本設施,如購物商場及辦公樓附近,步行以內的距離即可抵達目的地,雖然每平方尺售價並不便宜,不過,由於建築面積嬌小,折合起來還是可以負擔。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
服務公寓多數是一房或二房式單位,對於單身的上班族來說,比較容易維持,加上樓下有便利商店,加大這類型產業的賣點與吸引力。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
另外,作為居家辦公單位的服務公寓也開始普及,現代無線科技發達,在家辦公、進行網絡生意的人逐漸增多,一些建在商業地段的服務公寓,業主也可以在公寓內辦公,前提是從事的業務不會干擾鄰居的生活。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3.突出低密度特色</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
城市中一些新共管公寓的發展趨勢:高聳,但密度不高,每層樓可能只有4個單位,共用空間寬敞,單位總數不到100個,低密度的房宅確實給人不一樣的感覺,上、下電梯的人不多,花在等候電梯的時間也比較少,減少煩躁的情緒,這些單位至少備有兩個泊車位。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
舊式的公寓吸引力褪色,其中一個原因是:泊車位不足,對城市人來說,只有一個泊車位的確不夠,泊在公寓外有一定的風險,要租多一個車位,未必有空出的車位供業主租。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
看到泊車位不足造成的不便,發展商近年來新建的分層產業,例如共管公寓或服務公寓,多數分配兩個車位,甚至有讓業主多買一個車位的選擇,省卻車位不足的煩惱。發展商會將一些車位出租,賺取穩定的租金收入。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4.雙鎖匙公寓日趨普遍</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
近年來崛起的一個新趨勢是雙鎖匙公寓,這是一個參考澳洲、新加坡房產設計的公寓。雙鎖匙公寓指的是兩個不同的公寓單位,共用一個鐵門,但是進入屋子的大門則是兩支分開的鎖匙,一個是主要單位,另一個是套房公寓,自己可以住在主要單位,父母或住在套房公寓,方便有個照應,也可以將套房公寓作為居家辦公空間,或是出租給上班族。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
這類型公寓突出的是住在兩隔壁,即方便又有隱私權的三代成員單位,個別單位皆有臥室、客廳、廚房、浴室、泊車位及活動空間,不過,售價並不便宜,幾乎接近百萬令吉或超過百萬令吉。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
在馬來西亞,Mayland發展公司旗下的Royal Regent-Double Deluxe是其中一個例子,售價在90萬令吉起跳,另一個是位於白沙羅地區的Aragreens Residence,建築面積寬敞,售價介於130萬至180萬令吉。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
年輕有孩子的家庭,可以選擇住在面積較大的公寓,將套房公寓出租,當孩子長大加上工作關係,擁有自置產業遷出有關單位,夫婦兩人可以選擇遷入套房公寓,將面積較大的公寓出租,以便擁有較高的租金收入。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
一些雙鎖匙產業附近也有日間托兒設備,由專業的教職人員負責管理,方便雙鎖匙的家庭,父母可以安心工作,附加設施也可為這類型產業加分。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">5.鄰近零售產業</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
值得一提的是,近年崛起的另一個產業發展趨勢:樓下是辦公或零售單位,樓上是住宅單位分層產業,這些高檔產業的售價,面積較小的從80萬令吉起跳,較大面積的超過百萬令吉。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
在這些產業單位居住,週末或假期,業主不需驅車出外購物或用餐,也適合年長的產業投資者,要購物或用餐,只需採用電梯即可,八打靈再也、白沙羅一帶地區,有相當多類似的產業計劃,UptownResidence是其中一個例子,只是各家發展商突顯本身產業的特色。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
除了文中提及的設計,還有不少在興建中的分層產業計劃,皆貫徹這樣的特色,當然不一定是住宅單位建在零售產業樓上,也可能是搭建一道步行橋樑,從住宅單位走數分鐘的時間,就可以到毗連的辦公樓或購物商場。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
除了附有零售商場帶來的便利,城市中也有不少產業計劃,毗鄰就有辦公樓,這一點也可以為住宅單位加分,假如買來投資,不難物色到租戶,如果租戶是在毗鄰的辦公樓上班,相信他們會考慮在附近租屋,省卻塞車造成時間、精神與車油的浪費。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">6.展現假日度假屋格局</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
假日度假屋的供應開始增加,居家如同度假或酒店式單位,是投資者屬意的產業類型,容易出租賺取租金收入。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
越來越多的家庭,對假日度假屋的購興保持濃厚,他們購買來當假日房屋,也有一些是買來投資供出租給租客,租客分中、短期類型,從數天、一星期、一個月至一年半載不等。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
這些房屋讓租戶或住客在度假時,有如歸家的感覺,而且比酒店客房寬敞,所付的可能只是廉價酒店的收費,不過,卻可享有結合酒店與住宅設施的便利。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
在香港、澳洲、新加坡、美國、英國等地,假日度假屋已相當普遍,馬來西亞正迎頭趕上,增建假日度假屋,以應付日益增加的需求。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
這些假日度假屋,不只是在旺季才有需求,有些本地人的另一半是外國人,每當另一半的外國親人前來度假,他們會租下假日度假屋供親人住宿,至少比酒店來得經濟。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
另外一類型租客是:在外國求學的本地人,他們會租下假日度假屋,作為團聚的場所,也有電視製作小組,租下假日度假屋拍電視節目或電影。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
購買這類型產業的投資者,通常會交給產業管理人打理,一些客戶也可能轉為假日度假屋的投資者。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
這是一個成長中的市場,5年前,當我們提到假日度假屋,知道的人並不多,不過,今天,在首都吉隆坡、檳城、國內其他一些度假勝地,假日度假屋已相應增多,業界人士看到這個成長趨勢,紛紛增建這類型產業,以應付市場人士的需求。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">7.多合一產業特色</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
多合一產業計劃不是最新的產業格局,不過,卻是巴生河流域產業市場的參考典範,在一個社區包括住宅、商業、辦公樓、醫藥中心、購物商場、遊樂園、學院、會展中心、酒店,雙威集團屬下公司發展的雙威城,是其中一個典型的例子。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
谷中城、吉隆坡中環的產業類型,也許沒有雙威集團的多元化,不過,也屬於多合一產業計劃,除了住宅單位,有辦公樓、購物商場、酒店,附近也有學院,各行業商店,吉隆坡中環廣場還是交通樞紐的終站。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
除了谷中城、吉隆坡中環,雪州的郊外園城鎮、萬達鎮、八打靈再也新都、首邦市新鎮,皆展現多合一產業特色,以突顯整個社區發展的完善水平。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">8.社區基本設施齊備</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
新的產業發展計劃,強調基本設施完善,例如步行以內距離有公共巴士、輕快鐵、捷運站、便利商店、銀行或郵政局、熟食店、零售商店,這些都是學院學生、上班族屬意的地點。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
雪蘭莪州的八打靈再也、首邦市、沙亞南、吉隆坡文良港、蕉賴、甲洞等城鎮,都是一些基本設施齊備的地區,足以應付市民在衣食住行的需求。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
除了文中提及的基本設施,另一個可以為產業計劃加分的特點是建有學院與辦公樓,有了這些商業產業,將可提昇住宅產業的價值。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">9.圍籬排屋炙手可熱</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
由於社區治安紅燈亮起不熄,新建有地排屋多數備有圍籬設施,售價大幅提高,有些市民或業主比較傾向於有地房屋,發展商掌握產業買家對這對類型房產的需求,在市郊地區增建圍籬產業。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
圍籬產業的優勢有保安員看顧,減少破門偷竊的案例,而且管理與維修費比共管公寓便宜,視產業的面積而定,好比說獨立式洋房與半獨立式洋房的保安費,比雙層排屋較高。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
雪蘭莪不少新建的房產計劃,例如分佈在白沙羅、沙亞南等地區,多數備有圍籬設施,以加強其賣點,而且一般都悉數售出。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="color: green; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">10.強調綠色房屋</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
當我們談及綠色產業時,除了擁有較大面積的綠肺,也涵蓋產業的綠色特點,例如節能減碳,備有儲存雨水的系統,可以充當環保水來使用。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
關於較大面積的綠肺,多數設有高球場,當然,個別單位的售價並不便宜,多數從百萬令吉起跳,比較普遍的是獨立式、半獨立式洋房,也有一些是超大型的雙層或三層排屋,建築面積寬敞,深受多活動空間買家的支持。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
綠色產業包括分層單位與有地住宅,善用太陽能以減少對能源的消耗,安裝儲存雨水的系統,可以充當花園灌溉與清洗溝渠用途,達到節能省水的環保目標。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">產業的設計與格局必須不斷革新,才能跟隨時代的腳步邁進,革新將改善產業的使用價值,給予業主更多、更大的便利,體驗產業基本設施的時代感;當然,也可以讓我們的產業登上國際產業舞台,以便和其他國家/市場的產業計劃一較高低,讓促銷“大馬:我的第二家園計劃"更有吸引力。</span></div>
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></span><div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">一直以來,發展商會抽空前往外國產業市場進行考察,參考其他市場發展商/建築師的產業設計,然後再配合我國的氣候增減使用,取其他業者之長、以補己之短,確保我國的產業設計與格局繼續改善,吸引力不斷提昇。</span>(星洲日報/投資致富)</div>

The average person who avoids losing and expects to win 100 percent of the time is the person who often has the loser's strategy. Expecting to win 100 percent of the time and never failing is a loser's reality. As rich dad said, "<b><span style="font-size: large;">A winning strategy must include losing</span></b>."<br />
<br />
.. That is a plan that has no room for losing, and that is why it is a loser's plan. <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Winners know that losing should be part of any plan</b></span>. <br />

<b><u>My thought</u>:</b><br />
Growing up admiring Arsenal's unbeaten season 2003/2004 leads me to adopt the wrong philosophy of 100% winning and pursuit of perfection. In Football Manager, I expect my teams to win every single trophy and never lose a single game in any of the season. <br />
<br />
Today I have learnt a good lesson and it is time to accept the idea that losing is part of winning. It is also important to have a contingency plan.

忙 .. 很多时候我们都为 忙 花上很多时间...<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;">如果你问,全世界最大的一间公司是甚麽公司,我可以回答你,就是忙!『忙』这间公司真的很厉害,它不赚钱,不过小朋友忙着考试,大人忙着赚钱,然後忙着拍拖,忙着逛街,和妈妈吃饭也要电话预约,下面这个故事就是替我们解释一下,忙到底是怎麽回事,它会有甚麽後果。 </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;">有个大忙人,有一天晚上他约了女朋友吃饭,他匆匆忙忙赶到餐厅点菜,然後匆匆忙忙地吃,一边吃一边发电邮丶检查电邮丶接电话丶又放下电话,吃得差不多了就匆匆忙忙结帐,然後匆匆忙忙送女朋友上计程车,再匆匆忙忙开车回公司继续工作。 </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;">凌晨突然接到电话,警察打给他,「你女朋友四点多还没回家。」「不是吧?!我送她上计程车了。」於是打电话给她妈妈,她妈妈说:「是呀,还没回来!」不久他去到警察局,警察说:「你女朋友是甚麽样的发型?」他说:「发型?……」又说:「她戴甚麽样的眼镜?」「戴眼镜?……」又说:「她穿甚麽颜色的衣服?」他说:「不记得了。」「记得她穿甚麽样的鞋子吗?」「也不记得。」「记不记得拿甚麽样的手提包?」「也不太记得…」警察说:「吃饭的时候你有没有看着她?」「有没有看着她?我也不太记得…」於是警察说:「那就没办法了,你回家等吧。」 </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;">回去之後很忧心,很担心,等到大概七点钟,警察局打电话来,妈妈打电话来,「女儿回来了。」「回来了?好了!」马上去女朋友家里,这个时候他才看着女朋友,原来是一个短头发,一身美丽的枣红色长裙,一个很清丽的装扮,他看到——原来我女朋友这麽漂亮,这麽好,但为甚麽我整个晚上都不记得了?经过那次之後,那个男人年底就跟女朋友结婚,结婚的过程里他提醒自己——「我每天都要看太太五分钟」从她的头发到服饰,记在脑海里,我觉得这是一个很有趣的故事。 </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;">『忙』这个字让我们得到很多,譬如金钱和地位,但这个字也让我们失去更多,譬如亲情和健康,我觉得两者应该平衡一下就好了,每个人在百年归老的时候,你会埋怨自己,和亲人相处的时间不够,还是在工作的时间不够呢?这个你就自己想吧! </span><br />

2012 我的超级偶像 - 李光耀 !</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
有人说他是独裁制,什么都爱管,没自由。但是如果不是他,就没有今天如此繁荣先进的新加坡。他简直是传奇!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
我最喜欢他的名句是:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. "This is not a game of card, this your life and mine. I have spent my whole life building this and as long as I'm in charge, nobody is going to knock it down."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. "(民主制度)那是不错的,可是要常常记着,够吃,够穿,家庭安全,社会安全,国家有把握,才可以说什么民主,什么权利。"</div>
<div>

Throughout the year, I have posted lots of status in my Facebook profiles and majority of them are my quotes, translating the experience and lessons gained, the conclusion drawn and sometimes emotion into short words that tell the whole story.

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Whatever lecturers teach can never be absorbed 100% by my mind in lecture hall, but I do remember well what they said especially their funny or good quotes. Below are some of the quotes by my lecturers :<br /><br /><b>"The problem here is they want the cheapest but asking for the best. Some local company claims that their pipe (RM 0.80 per metre) can drain the water four times faster than the imported one (RM5 per metre)."</b><br />Prof. NAZ<br />Well, this is the case in the construction field</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman';">.</span></div>
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><b></b></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>"Normally students only realised that they had made mistakes one minute after they left the examination hall."</b><br />Prof. NAZ<br />This happened to me again and again ... T.T</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><b>"Rasuah tu memang ada. Cuma you nak ke tak nak."</b><br />Dr. NAB<br />The reality and fact in the industry.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Both A's are related to each other.</b></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>''</b><br />Dr. FD<br />Super agree !! In engineering term, they are directly proportional. ;-p</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>"My brain is tiny, and here we have hundred brains. Therefore I can learn from you, we are learning from each other."</b> Dr. JJ</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Humble words from a smart lecturer. While Mourinho my top idol teaches me to be an ego and arrogance (a little bit) styled charismatic boss, Dr. JJ teaches me to be a humble man in life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>"Construction is all about time, achievement and money. Punctuality is important. When the work starts at eight, all must already working at eight."</b> Prof. A</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;">I regard punctuality is an important part of the professionalism that every professional or successful person share. I do not respect people who always not being punctual and are creative in giving various excuses. We have no right to waste others' time and our precious time shouldn't be wasted. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>"Engineers find ways to solve problems."</b> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. LTL</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Yea, when I face problems and recall back what this lecturer told me, I will feel motivated to deal with the task even though it is hard and surprisingly sometimes ideas are sparked. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>"Exam or test is never the right way or the only way to measure a student."</b> Dr. JJ</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>"The boss hires people who can think not robot. If you are a robot, the boss will ask you, can you see the door there?"</b> Prof. NAZ</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Engineers who act like robot, follow instructions blindly without thinking are difficult to survive. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Another couple of good quotes or advices from Prof. NAZ (he is my idol lecturer) shared with me during a chat :<br /><b>"Learn to believe in others."<br />"I don't worry what they might do to me, I have my own money and business running. In life, you are safe when you always have other alternatives to back up you."</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">That's true !! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;">Their words are really awesome ~ !<br /><br />My final part of Review 2011 will be published on the last day of this year. Hope you won't miss it ^^</span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><b>My Reward - Reaping 2011 In Review (Read 5 Free 2)</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I have selected 5 BIG events to share with you all in my review of year 2011. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1. Elected as the President of IEM – USM Student Section</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I would describe this as the proudest moment in my USM life </span><span lang="EN-US">th</span>us far. This is the Christmas gift that the God had delivered to me on 28 Sept 2011. To me it was a surprise at first since IEM was not the core in my activity blueprint. However I quickly learn that it is a great opportunity handed to me to sharpen my skills and gain more experience. Since then, IEM (SS) USM becomes my greatest love and one of my top priorities in the campus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Being the president, I explore and experiment on different approaches that aims to strengthen the organisation, build a culture that focuses on professionalism, recruit and develop talents to run the organisation. I regard these elements are significant in positioning IEM (SS) USM as ‘The BEST Student Organisation In Engineering Campus USM’ which is the challenge that the current committee takes and strive to achieve. Besides arranging industrial visits and talks, the team is also working on the E-magazine, Junior Interns and etc, among the new implementation by IEM (SS) USM.</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Furthermore, my previous tenure as the Director of PP</span>KA Family Day 2011 and some mistakes that I had made provide me the chance to do better and the lessons learnt allow me to plan wiser and act smarter. I always remember what my predecessor, Keng Swee told me – the importance of SYSTEM and HUMAN CAPITAL in ensuring an organisation to function well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I have high confidence to lead the team and have faith in my members. I believe together we will fly high and meantime IEM (SS) USM will play its role in facilitating and linking the students closer to the industrial world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Yea~~ !!</span></div>

<b>2. Selected as the Ahli Dewan Perundingan Pelajar (DPP USM)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Still remember the time dated back to a year ago when the Student Parliament of USM was formed and the first session of DPP was held. I was so disappointed f</span>or not able to join the DPP session that time and it is the experience and exposure that I am not supposed to miss. Thanks God, a year later my turn has finally come and it does not come easily. Here is the story …</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Eleven Ahli Dewan will be representing Engineeing Campus – 7 MPP’s and 4 YDP’s. all the clubs and organisations in the campus are categorised into four groups </span>which are Persatuan, Pusat Pengajian, Desasiswa and Sekretariat. IEM (SS) USM is categorised under Persatuan and only one YDP from each category will be selected as Ahli Dewan. Since I am the incumbent Head of Welfare Secretariat (Ketua Sekretariat Kebajikan MPP) in my campus, DPP is definitely a great platform for me to fight for students’ welfare should I be selected. Therefore I volunteer myself without a second of hesitation. For the Persatuan category, I competed with another two candidates and one of them is my senior whom I respect a lot. After a short speech given, the three of us were requested to wait outside the meeting room while the rest of the attendee voted inside it. It was a tough PK and I didn’t see myself having strong advantage over the other two candidates. Finally after we took our seat, I was congratulated for being elected. That night, I realised how sweet a win – win would be as win – lose could hurt. How I wish my senior and I can both qualify as the Ahli Dewan, I think he is definitely more competent and suitable than some of the Ahli Dewan selected that day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>On 19 Sept the big day, I stepped into the Dewan Persidangan and it was like a dream came true to me. It leaves me with no regret already in term of activity or co-curricular achievement in mu university life. Also during the DPP session, I proposed the fourth ‘usul’ of the day – ‘Transparensi Pemarkahan Kerja Kursus’. After stating the justification of the proposed usul, I then stated three tuntutan usul. It ended up with the following declaration by the Speaker Dewan, ‘Dengan ini usul keempat, Transparensi Pemarkahan Kerja Kursus bersma ketiga – tiga tuntutan usulnya DITERIMA Dewan !’ Recently I am being informed that the usul I proposed had been brought to the attention of the Deputy Vice Chancellor of Academics USM. Discussion will be held and hopefully the outcome will be favourable to all sides especially the students.</div>

<span lang="EN-US"><b>3. Dean list</b></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My academics achievement is quite a remarkable story to tell at least up to this point. It is not how high my CGPA is and honestly my CGPA is just nothing compared to most of my fellow coursemates, mine is merely 3.30. Rather, the attractive part of the story is how I stand up from the heaviest defeat, rebuild and recover, work hard and determined to achieve the target (hit above 3.50) instead of opting for an easier way – give up and be a quitter. Sacrifices had been made, tough challenges had been taken for I just refuse to be a loser. I might look soft physically but the spirits of a warrior to never say die is in the blood that circulates in my body. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Let’s wind back to December of 2009.. the night my pointer (Year 1 Sem 1) came out. Usually in secondary school and Matric, I prayed hard to score full A’s but things weren’t the same that time. I prayed for PASS for all subjects and I knew I did badly for my first Final, a consequence of too much sleep, excessive playing time and minimal study. Padan muka really. The result finally came out and I was not wrong, my CGPA was 2.77. What a sheer disaster and horrible stumble. During that lowest ebb, the thought of changing course did strike my mind and I had given it a serious thought. Some people including my dad suggested that the culprit was that I had spent too much time in activities. I refused to take that excuse. My bad attitude and laziness should be blamed not the activities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Then I decided not to surrender but to fight ! I choose to stay not to quit half way. I reviewed everything again, analysed the failure causing factors and implemented some positive changes. One of the heaviest price I need to pay for in order to bounce back is to reduce the gaming time significantly. If you can’t imagine how hard it is, try imagine a smoker giving up cigarettes. It took lots of discipline and determination. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>As a result, the CGPA of subsequent semesters had shown gradual increase. Finally my efforts paid off in the previous semester Final (Year 2 Sem 2) as I qualified for dean list (GPA > 3.50). The best is, I have a lot more friends who are like me, getting dean list for the first time. It’s always great to achieve great things together and share the joy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>14 December 2011 I received the Dean List certificate from the dean, Prof. Hamidi, I feel superbly proud of myself and happy for the little success I earn. Looking </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">on my first dean list cert', it is clearly written there my name, FOONG HAN YANG but I attribute this little success of mine to my friends (especially Ti Amo Kent & </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Cheah Yen Xiang) who have helped me a lot in my studies as well my determination and efforts.<span class="apple-converted-space"> Below was the post I wrote to my friends and juniors, hopefully my story here can inspire and motivate them</span></span><span lang="EN-US">: </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The seemingly impossible had been made possible with the right strategy and action. I sincerely wish the story I share with you all here could leave a positive impact on you and as for myself I’ll take the lesson from this story as I fight along and stride towards my dream. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><b>4. Civil Cameron + Ipoh Trip</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This was the most awesome trip of the year ! Having lots of fun, joy and excitement with coursemates in Cameron Highland + Ipoh 3D2N trip. I begin to love the atmosphere, lifestyle and scenery in Cameron Highland. Strawberry, fresh vegetables, fruits, roses, fresh air… you name it! I have made a promise to myself to buy a villa there, a potential residence after I retired and it’s really a nice place to enjoy my time there with my wife and family. Apart from that, what I’m going to tell you next might be a bit unbelievable. Though I have been raised near Ipoh, I never drank the famous Old Town White Coffee before, not until that trip. Thanks to my friends for bringing noises and life to my otherwise quiet and boring house where I often ‘home-alone’ there during the semester break. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><b>5. YNS 2011</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A fantastic four day programme held in UM this year, assembling some of the most energetic and awesome youths of the country. Meeting new exciting people, gaining inputs and being exposed to some ideas. It was really a great experience, as great as EYLN 2010 I attended a year before. The only regret of my time there was my failure to fight for the chance to have a direct conversation with Prime Minister, Y.A.B. Dato Sri’ Najib Razak. The good side of this was that it stimulated me to enhance or strengthen some of the parts that I must improve on. Anyway, I’m sure I will have the similar opportunity again and who knows the situation may reverse one day whereby I am being sought after instead of I seeking for. I know, that day will come…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US">First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the </span><span lang="EN-GB">organising</span><span lang="EN-US"> committee for this successful inaugural PEMANJU camp. I think a camp should be rate not based on how many days it is held but rather how much inputs its participants can grab from it. With that, I had given a ‘6’ out of 5 in the evaluation form. When you can stay in a good room with TV, play exciting games plus the energetic and friendly facilitators, what else could you ask for? Haha ! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Ok, back to the main business. I would like to share with you all what I have learnt from the experience and observation throughout this short yet memorable camp. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">1. Leadership Part 1 – Motivating & Creating Teamwork Spirit<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When people ask me, “what is leadership?” It is a really subjective thing and I believe everyone has his or her very own definition for it. Well, the latest element I have added into my definition for ‘Leadership’ is the ability to motivate the team members and creating a strong teamwork spirits that bond the members together in achieving a common goal. As a leader, I reckon this as an important acumen every top leader should possess. Thus, I volunteer myself as the team leader of Sailormoon Group. I took it as a challenge and learning experience to experiment how can I build a motivated team. I am not sure whether had I done a good job to inspire my team, at least I have tried my best and will keep learning and improving. Leading the ‘Sailormoons’ is a great opportunity for me to prepare myself for leading new teams or organisations in my campus when the new semester starts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As a reminder to myself as well as my humble piece of advice for my friends who will be team leader in whatever organisation you involved, whenever you find that your team members are not working hard enough, procrastinating or fail to deliver what you expect, just before you are frustrated, please ask yourself the following questions : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“ Have I done well enough to motivate my members?” and <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Have I taken initiatives to create a strong team spirit?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Do not simply blame or complain your members. As a leader, it is our responsibility. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">2. Leadership Part 2 – Solo King vs Delegation <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When I looked back, there are a few serious mistakes I have made as a team leader. There were a few occasions of which I contributed 70% of the overall task as leader. That time I thought I was too capable, like a Superman because I could did a lot and did it well. I could single handedly finished the whole paperworks, did the plannings and so on. May be I was a perfectionist and did not give enough trust to my members, I always felt that they just could not perform the task well and failed to meet my expectation. The lousy phrase that often played in mind was, “Aiya, they were hopeless. They just fail to meet what I expect from that. Fine, I do it my own!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Hooo….. how silly I was. That was the most critical mistake I ever made as a leader. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When a leader becomes a Solo King despite having many members under him, it is a failure to the leader himself. An excellent leader knows how to delegate jobs to his members, discuss with them when problems arise, and have faith in them. Also delegation is not just about dividing the task equally among the members. More importantly, how you put a person in a position that can allow him to perform to the maximum level. In addition, a leader should not hesitate to brainstorm or communicate more with his assistants because two brains are always better than one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> 3. Goal Setting<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The greatest surprise to me during the camp was the “</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: SimSun; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">智益游戏</span><span lang="EN-US">” session. The game was challenging and the lesson behind the game is a good teacher to me. The game taught us to set a goal for our task and as we crave for more and more, never being carried away or distracted from our plan and goal. Sometimes things could be simple but we have complicated it with our knowledge. I think it was one of the best games I have ever played because the lessons it offer are important to our lives. I will always remember that. Thanks to the committee for introducing this game. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">About the game itself, my heart really beating fast whether or not to take risk. Play it safe and you will lose but at the same time, a droplet of spilt water from the cup means K.O. The risk at that moment is more risky than what I experience in stock market. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Bravo !! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">4. The Two Sides of the Table<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">This was the first time I play the Parliament Simulation game. What an experience and fun! At my side of the table was the ruling party, opposite us was the opposition party and the third side sit the individual parliament members. From TV and Youtube, I saw how dumb the BN guys in answering the questions and how heroic the Pakatan guys in questioning the ministers. However, yesterday sitting as ‘Pagor’ (I was Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassan, Deputy PM), I experienced the difficulty and the pressure to defend the act we propose. In reality, nothing proposed is an absolute perfect. Hopefully both the ruling party and opposition party in our real Malaysia Parliament could debate professionally and discuss rationally to come out with the best solution or policy that could benefit all the Rakyat and the country. To pave way for the World Class Parliament, they must avoid behaving like in Pasar or Circus Parliament which is fueled by words like Bodoh, Monyet, Big Foot……… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Critic and complain are easy, but SOLUTION to those problems is the most important ! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">With that, I end my sharing here. If you have any comments or feedback regarding my sharing, do feel free to leave it here yea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Finally, a big THANK YOU from me to the organising units, all committee members and my new met friends in the camp. I believe PEMANJU 2012 would be even better ! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Apart from assignments, quiz, tutorial and tests, the Final Examination is the culprit to bring tension and stress to the students. As a Civil Engineering student, I deal a lot with various kind of stresses, tension (or even compression.. Lol.) in structure theory and analysis but stresses and pressure and real life are not as easy as simply putting supports. It really challenge a student's EQ and composure. Now talking about the Final Exam, let me share with you how different am I as compared to the one a year ago in seeing the examination and the way I treat it. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>When I was first year, the only mission I had when I was in the hall is to make sure I can answer one or two questions + some 'anak soalan' for the other three questions (normally we need to answer five out of six questions) so that I can pass and no need to retake the subject. Everytime after the staff had collected my answer script, I would be busy calculating and estimating the marks I would get. I just need a pass or grade C to say goodbye to those subjects. Probably because I was seeking for a mere grade C as compared to some of my friends who were constantly aiming for A and Dean List, honestly I did not have much pressure and anxiety. Life was easier and happier. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>Then here comes the second year of my USM journey. Before the first sem started, I had received a warning letter from JPA, my main income source for CGPA below 3.0 and it put me in an alarming state. During the MOV 10' in May, I made my mind very clear that since I had chosen Civil Engineering and scrapped the idea of transferring course, I must do well for it, score well for it no matter how hard it takes. Thus, during my second year, I have taken a few important measures to make sure my Academics Revival Plan going smooth. I notice that I am never the Foong Han Yang as I was, whose daily routine was : wake up-->go class/ponteng--> Play FIFA---> Nap ---> Play Football Manager ---> Sleep early. Now, I do the assignments by my own and I say NO to procrastination. I attend every class and PC Games are never my daily activity again (although Facebook is). Up to this point, I would like to say Congratulation to myself for these positive changes. My efforts were eventually paid off as my GPA and CGPA recorded an increase of around 5% and 4% respectively. I am close to the 3.5 level and I have seen the hope of scoring Dean List if I work harder. For the first time, I knew it was no longer an impossible mission. While men have left their footprints on the moon, me too can get above 3.5 and I that as a challenge for myself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The date 18 April had finally arrived and the three week exam period kick started. Even though TITAS is relatively small Wigan to me but the subsequent papers are as tough as the likes of MU, Chelsea and Barca. supposed they are no big deal but my quest to score at least A- for these subjects had made me experiencing the pressure my friends had suffered. It intensifies everytime I begin to answer the question. The worst was during the Hydraulics paper which I took more than an hour to calm myself down and overcome the panic. I always feel proud of myself for I never buckle under pressure in life but I still have a lot to learn to beat this exam-panic syndrome. Hopefully, the increasing trend of both my GPA and CGPA continues. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>I have derived some lesson from these two cases. In life there are people like my previous self - not craving for anything, as long as survival is guaranteed, life is happy. Another type of people is like my current self - have higher ambition or desire, always looking to achieve higher than the average. Happiness comes in different way and have different values to different individuals. Anyway, I am still proud with being the latter. During the process, I may need to sacrifice some happiness and give up something I really reluctant to but I do believe I will be rewarded with greater happiness and achievements which I think that's what life is all about. I. M. FOONG HAN YANG is never contented of just being normal and average. I will do something great to the society, nation and if possible, the world. Life is only once, I want a colourful and meaningful one. How about you ? </div>

It is a new day and another new week. After a relaxing and lazy first week and just before the engine begins to accelerate in the third week, so this week, the second week, I dedicate some precious time to write this sharing. There are some lessons, thoughts and outcomes I obtain from these five days but here I would like to highlight nothing but one incident that really reminds me to APPRECIATE WHAT WE HAVE and BE CONTENTED. <br />
<div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> </span>Yesterday (6th Jan), I went for a football game. After absent from football for more than a week, it is a torture to a football fanatic like me especially the FIFA and Football Manager are no longer in my laptop. You can’t imagine it unless you are a football crazy. As usual after the warm-up session, all the players were divided into two teams. It was an ‘El Clásico’ as one of my opponents was wearing the Real Madrid jersey while a teammate of mine was wearing the blue-and-red of Barcelona. The match eventually started. </div>
<div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>It was drizzling but no one would care about it. Everyone was involved in the passing and eyeing for the opportunity to score. Unfortunately, my team was a goal down in the early stage. As a striker, the pressure and the urge to level the match began to intensify within my body. All of a sudden, I could feel the fighting spirits and the never-say-die attitude possessed by the likes of John Terry and Steven Gerrard fueled in my body. I made more runs and involved myself heavily in the attacking move of my team. Soon, we managed to stir a comeback by scoring twice. But I feel guilty to my teammates. I was disappointed with my poor skills as a player. I knew we would have scored a few more if I did not miss some chances upfront. The match continued and a few goal scoring machines in my team operated and more goals were soon followed. We kept terrorising the opposite defence and although I scored no goal, at least I did contribute a little to some of the goals scored.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>‘WTF ! WTF ! WTF !’, one of my teammate shouted in annoyance probably because I had spoilt his goal scoring chance due to my wrong silly move. What an insult and humiliation it was ! However, the game still on and I couldn’t bother that much. In my mind, nothing came second to the team’s victory. Surprisingly, my efforts ware awarded when I finally bagged four goals at the latter stage of the game. In fact, I did consider that as a marvelous achievement for a lousy quality striker like me who missed more chances than scoring. Perhaps the WTF words had made me stronger. I could notice that all the goals I scored were produced from powerful strikes. As soon as I netted my fourth goal, I had no choice but to leave the pitch as I got a muscle cramp. <br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>Albeit putting in a satisfying performance, however I was still angered with my poor playing skills and my failure to create more opportunities for my teammates. I questioned myself, “Why others can play so well but you can’t? Why?” Whenever I ask myself the very same question, I could not find myself an answer. What I do is improving my next game but most of the time, I fail which subsequently prompting me to ask myself this question again.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> </span>Later when I was having my dinner, somebody appeared in my sight. His left leg is handicapped. He could not walk properly like an ordinary person. Slowly and painstakingly, he walked towards my direction before he sat on the chair near the table opposite to mine. All of a sudden, the clock seemed to have stopped ticking but lots of thoughts flashing through my mind. I felt like I have been lectured for a moment. At that time, I realised how lucky I am. At those seconds, I forgot things like winning, scoring and stopped blaming myself. It was like waking up from a stupid dream and learning a valuable lesson. I thank God and my parents for giving me a nice pair of legs. Without them, I can’t even touch the ball or run on the field chasing the ball. As a person who loves football more than anything else, it’s hard to imagine how terrible the life would be. What else can I ask for? Isn’t the God has given me everything? A proper body, a good looking face and no physical defection. They are among the greatest assets God give to us. Human are greedy animals, they ask for more, demand for more and crave for more to fulfill their incessant desire. They seldom appreciate with the things they have got. Those things are so basic and simple yet they are so fundamental and essential. I remember there is quote which read, “When you are complaining about your shoes, there are people who don’t even have leg.” It is so true.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>At the time of writing this article, a day has passed but the impact remains strong in my mind. It strengthens my belief and principle that it’s my responsibility to help the unfortunates. That’s why when a friend recently asks me what is my dream, without hesitation I reply him, “… But I have one ultimate one, that is to establish a foundation (I call it IRD Project) and help the poors across the globe especially those poor region in Africa. I want to give them DREAM and HOPE and a CHANCE to change their destiny.” Yes, I am not joking. I am serious and I do mean it. </div>
<div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>So friends and those whom I love, be appreciate and thankful to what we have now. We will definitely live a happier life if we learn to appreciate and be contented. The world is beautiful and our lives are colourful, don’t let the bad desires and greed to destroy it. Also, do appreciate and love the people around us !</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1 Jan 2011 or 1-1-11, the whole world are joyous in welcoming the whole new 2011, the fresh start of another decade. What's the story about this upcoming ten years ? Surely Euro 2012 (Ukraine & Poland), FIFA World Cup 2014 & 2018 (in Brazil and Russia respectively) and last but not least, the Malaysia by year 2020 are among the few things that really excite me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While people are busy making their new year resolution and hoping for the best to come this year, I just couldn't think of any resolution specifically for this 2011. However, I do have set a mission and a theme for this year instead of resolutions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Theme 2011 - Start NOW, Act NOW, Connect NOW</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
NOW is the keyword here. I am a visionary man who have several plans or blueprints in my mind to pave way for myself in achieving the goals I have set. After the fruitful MOV10' and LLP 10', I am sure and it must be now, beginning from this semester, this year that I am going to give extra efforts in converting those plans into TANGIBLE achievements. Again I have to stress that this is the work I must start NOW not weeks later nor after the end of the current semester nor the next year. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is a project which need a lot of investments and sacrifices especially in term of time. There is no ending for it. Nevertheless, it will be executed in phases and KPI or objectives will be set for each phase to analyse and conclude the progress of the project. In short, the project can be described as a huge long bridge joining this solid ground where my feet lay and the dreamland of FIG which I anticipate. Since the construction plan of this magnificent bridge is now available, it's now my duty to construct it bit by bit, block by block steadily and patiently. The journey kick-starts when I am a 21 year old lad and hopefully I could reach the other side by my 40's if not 30's. Everything seem so untouchable, unreachable and stupid according to some of my friends and family. Yet deep in my heart, I know they are wrong and I am extremely confident and passionate to make it nothing but huge immeasurable success. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This semester, I will start my second business and during the semester break, I will seek for a job not for the money or salary it offers but the experience and values I can get from it. That is the way how I start. The previous working experience at the Empire Garment was really great and I expect to obtain a similar 'input-ful' experience this term. Besides, I will attend seminars, conferences or courses which are beneficial to me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the context of law, an individual of age 21 year old is considered mature (or old enough =.=) to make his own decision and is no longer under the control of his parents. He is 'Merdeka'. Although there are still months to go before I am officially declared as 21, I have now chosen the life of my own. I am ready to take the responsibility to decide my future, choose my way and set the direction of my life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I see the route ahead and I know where my destination is. </div>
<div>
It is not easy and of course it is not smooth either. </div>
<div>
As I walk, I will come across junctions, holes, stumbling rocks and etc. </div>
<div>
Risks, failures and challenges are inevitable.</div>
<div>
Rise and fall...</div>
<div>
But even if the whole world are doubting me,</div>
<div>
I have faith in myself.</div>
<div>
I will definitely success ! </div>
<div>
I will be a superb entrepreneur !</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2011, here I go, here I start ! </div>
<div>
Salute, I.M. FOONG !!</div>
<div>

<span lang="EN-US">As year 2010 will soon pass and become history in less than an hour time, below is my review of this fabulous year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
YEAR 2010 – A DIFFERENT & UNFORGETTABLE YEAR</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Jan 2010 </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">The start of the second semester and also the beginning of the resurgence after the disastrous pointer for my first semester. It is an absolute failure and at that moment, I am being at the junction whether to change course or continue with my current course - civil engineering. At the end, I have chosen the later. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">“A winner never give up despite being stumbled by defeats and tough challenges. He will be brave for the decision he has taken and U-turn is never the option at anytime. Therefore, I am still a civil engineering student and I am a winner. For sure ! ” I.M. FOONG HAN YANG</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Feb 2010</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">The Pesta ‘Huat Ah !’ (CNY celebration) organised by the Persatuan Bahasa Tiong Hua Kampus Kejuruteraan USM is a huge success and I have played my role well as the treasurer. Before the event, I have involved myself in the fund-raising campaign and I am bitterly disappointed by the attitude of some party during the process.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">March 2010</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Joining and serving for the Persatuan Bahasa Tiong Hua (PBT) is one of the few promises I have made on the day I first stepped into the campus. Yet weeks after being elected as the chief secretary of the PBT, I resign from the post. It is an extremely hard and painful decision but I need a better platform to learn and lead. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, I think that is a right decision and I have no regret of it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Besides, in this month I have to deal with a ‘relation’ crisis (or confidence crisis) which is a challenge and learning experience for me as a leader. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lucky enough, my friends have offered me supports and trust plus my mental strength, I have overcome it. As the sayings goes, “Friends in need are friends indeed”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the incident, I know who are my True Friends, Friends and Fake Friends. It is a reward to me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>Quote of the month – “Don’t be disheartened, you can’t expect to win everyone’s heart. Even the ruling government is elected and formed based on the 2/3 majority basis”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prof. Hock</div>
