<p>It is fast, where october have arrived.</p>
<p>I have really have not much time to update my blog in the september  <strong>T.T</strong></p>
<p>There are few post want to write but still in procastinating&#8230;</p>
<p>And I should says am I getting more busy? here are some updatess</p>
<p>Assignments, works, classes..</p>
<p>and recently my secondary school St John ex-member contacted that they are forming a new adult division. Before I came to KL the pass 4-5 years for study and works, am still a little active for the millenium combined adult division MCAD. But now have long lost contact with them though~ XD hahah</p>
<p>Hope the new division form that I join will able to provide front line &#8211; first aid services to the public. There are lots to be done and hope I can contribute some.</p>
<p>For the study, I have taken two modules this time, which is mean having two classes for a week, two assignments to be submit and one exam is coming.. God of me.. Spare me the speeds to complete in time..</p>
<p>About works there, since I left Lee Hung Scientific and back to Penang, I have join Exabytes and the company is really nice. Despite there was a major downturn in the end of last year and early of 2009, I have now recovered much may be have some related to the good working environment here. Yeap, the high workload is there, but it is actually not a problem. I think only my uni-mate knows me well in this ya? XD kakaka</p>
<p>Apart from what is good is, no dating XD hahah. The after effect of the broken relationship is still there. To be honest, no time for relationship, cause have geared up so much to keep filling my time since that&#8230; And also, &#8220;you are the first and the last girl that is in my life&#8221;.. may be I need a goddess to save me from this asshole thinking.. XD hahah</p>
<p>Yet, I have spent more time in office and class rather than at home. Even my father help produced two male in the family, but still I am the one who is suppose to  bring up this family. I should first fix whatever &#8220;holes&#8221; in the family first, before I can really out for finding my future? My sis (formerly as cousin) have helped me much since I young, should have let her rest for the coming years.. Lucky~ my family is not big one XD wakaka</p>
<p>and Let&#8217;s check how is the wireless broadband usage in the past 3 months.. Seems that I need something have the bandwidth cap more than 5GB ya? haha</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-295 aligncenter" title="bandwidth" src="http://marccus.net/wpblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bandwidth.JPG" alt="bandwidth" width="473" height="308" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">The coming October is gonna be busy and more time is consumed up already, heheh</p>
<p style="text-align: left">I think frequent update will be more in facebook and twitter, so.. add me there ya =P</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://facebook.marccus.net">http://facebook.marccus.net</a> and <a href="http://twitter.marccus.net">http://twitter.marccus.net</a></p>

<h1 style="text-align: center"><a href="http://marccus.net"><span style="color: #ffcc00"><strong>http://marccus.net </strong></span></a></h1>
<p style="text-align: left">

<p style="text-align: left">What I wish now in my greedy list is, faster get me a Nokia E71!! Even though I have no money for that!  XD hahah. Dream more lar!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Good Morning Sunday!!  Get yourself cherish in the day. =)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You need to spend some time to read the email content posted here, else you may ignore this post XD</p>
<p>This email actually I have received pass few day, I think may share out here, for part of my memory. XD hahah</p>
<p>Before that, I clarify here that I am a graduand from UTAR. keke</p>
<p>Here goes the letter from UTAR alumni (alumni@utar.edu.my) sent one email with the title &#8220;<strong>Complaints from a Group Manager about the attire of UTAR graduates and students</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-39" title="Utar Alumni letter" src="http://blog.marccus.net/files/2009/07/picture-1-300x29.jpg" alt="Utar Alumni letter" width="300" height="29" /></p>
<p>And.. the contents goes down here..</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear graduands and alumni, especially those who are still looking for jobs,</p>
<p>This email may be important to you, please read on this letter written to UTAR by a &#8220;Group Manager from a chain of companies&#8221;.  Although his comments might not be true about the majority of you, but would definitely jeopardise career opportunity of a lot of our garduates.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am writing to you in response to the several interview I conducted with<br />
your former students for various position within our group of companies. I<br />
have never come across such ?interesting grooming? that set a very bad first<br />
impression to the interviewers. I wonder if you have any specific guidelines<br />
on student attire during interview as well as in your campus? I am sorry to<br />
have questioned both of you on this matter but let me relate my ?wonderful?<br />
and ?eye washing? experience with you.</p>
<p>We have received 18 applications from your former students for an interview<br />
and eight of them came for the interview from last week until yesterday but<br />
all of them have been rejected in the first 15 minutes. They do not know<br />
what and how to wear in showing respect to the interviewers. Among some of<br />
the fashion fauxpas includes blonde or colourful hairs, short sleeves or<br />
raised collar shirt, messy jeans, ¾ pants, slippers/sandals, chunky<br />
necklaces and bracelets. One of them even came for the interview as though<br />
she is going ?clubbing?. This is office work and in executive position.  How<br />
can they wear like these to an interview?</p>
<p>I further went to your campus in Setapak this morning to personally look at<br />
your students attire and I got a shock of my life. Your students did wore<br />
singlet, ¾ pants, sandals and messy jeans to class. When I approached few of<br />
your students, they simply said its allowable in the campus. In fact, one of<br />
them said the lecturers like it so much?</p>
<p>May I advise you that students MUST respect the University, the lecturers<br />
and other co-students by wearing appropriate attire in the campus at all<br />
times. We cannot allow students who bore part of their flesh and body hairs<br />
in the campus. What had becoming to this generation?s students attitude and<br />
behaviour? Where are their discipline? Being an educator, shouldn?t it be<br />
our responsibility to ensure students? characteristics are well formed here?</p>
<p>I sincerely hope UTAR can look into this matter seriously and come out with<br />
a more stringent guideline with regards to student attire. Obviously, we<br />
want to avoid any possible incidence that could have happened as a result of<br />
baring too much of our flesh in the campus. I understand that UTAR students<br />
are very much sought after in the labour market but this record can become<br />
history if the newest generation continues to wear inappropriately in the<br />
campus and carry the same mindset when they look for jobs in the market.</p>
<p>For your information, after such incidence, we have decided not to proceed<br />
with interviewing the balance ten applicants. UTAR students may be good<br />
academically but it?s their character and well being that counts during the<br />
first interview.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last but not least, some advice from UTAR:  You can be as fashionable as you wish during social interactions, but for formal occassions, especiaoly like attending interviews, it would be advantageous to be vigilant about your attire, gesture and hair style, ie. formal office attire is preferred.</p>
<p>Thank you for your attention.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>

<p>Haha, I really feel funny for this email. It did cheers my day abit when I first reading on it.</p>
<p>I personally feels that there are some students nowadays that do not serious in what they have live for. Would it because they are easily being influence by the environment that are media-rich and fashion-rich? Haha XD</p>
<p>But for this case, the party that goes wrong should be on both side lar. Both UTAR and those students themselves. UTAR may need more time to emphasize their rules and regulations. Helo Prof. Chua, you want to make UTAR into International Grade one right? kaka XD  Then the student themselves also wear nicely abit lar at least give respect to ownself. Wear like that to interview, it just let people know that you do not respect yourself also.</p>
<p>So.. what do you wear normally when attending interview?  <strong>=)</strong></p>
