Beach Party Tomorrow.....

Our company will have a beach party tomorrow. It's just a 'replacement' of our annual dinner. 'Seats' are limited. (I thought annual dinner, all the employees should be invited?) But it end up have to send out final notification email, announce that there are still more tickets available.

Don't be too happy, we'll not going to the seaside, although it's a "beach" party. It's just a 'man-made' beach in The Palace of the Golden Horses. I wasn't really so keen to join the party at the beginning as some of my teammates also not so passionate. But after they decided to attend, I also join them. It's a 'teamwork', isn't it? haha

I still haven't thought what need to be prepared for this party, but I'm really quite expecting it.

Good news for bloggers


Do you like to blog and want to make money from it? If you did, then here is a good news to you.

There are so many opportunities for bloggers to get paid for their posts, bloggerwave is one of them. What you need to do is simple. Just sign up, submit a blog, and then find the opportunity, create a post, after it's approved then you can get paid. It's just easy, isn't it?

This is drawn from a hidden folder

Kidnap in the city

Recently there happened so many kidnapping cases, sometimes the kidnapee can be found, but most of the case the kidnapper will just kill them after they got the money.

Just like the case we heard yesterday, news was spreaded by internet. I got the message from the msn,
one girl was kidnapped in a town by a car with 3 men. The message even provided the car number and asked all the people to take notice on the car and report to police if you found any trail of that.

Today I read the news again, the girl has been released after her family paid the ransom. I was shocked when I heard the kidnapping case, and glad that she has been released. But there are still one thing I'm worrying about: are those
kidnappers arrested? or even spotted? If not, then they might do it again.

Nowadays a girl alone is no longer safe no matter where you stay or where you go. Kidnap, murder, snatch, rob, even rape, most targetted victims are women. We can't count on the authorities to protect us, we have to learn how to protect ourselves.

Think about your insurance

It's found that, the insurance buying behaviour in Malaysia is still very low. But the good news is, it's growing from time to time. If you haven't purchased any, it's time for you to really think about it.

There are many insurance company in our country, but if you would like to find the best policy that suits your needs, you may go to some Quoting Insurance Services site on the web to find out more. The types of policies they provided including Term, Whole Life, Universal, Key Man, Second to die, Group Policies, Mortgage and even Smokers. Just depends on your requirements.

One thing that is good for this website, you can Save Money on Insurance Premium, lower down your monthly or annual payment and get the best in return. If you are the employer and would like to buy a group policy for your staffs, you may also refer to Corporate Insurance Plans for Employers. It's resourceful and help you to make your decision. It's interesting, isn't it?

Buying insurance is not only to protect yourself, it's also a way to protect your family and your love ones. So take a deep consideration and hopefully you can get the best one for youreslf.

She has left???

Until today, only I found that my 'neighour' has left the company!!

I was so shocked when my teammate told me that she has left ONE MONTH AGO! For almost a year I had sat beside her, I never realized that she has already left. I still haven't had a chance to say goodbye and farewell to her! This shows that I'm really a worse 'neighbour'. I even can't remember when was the last time I saw her....

Jennifer, sorry for only noticing it by now. I still haven't said goodbye and farewell to you. Hopefully you will forgive such a neglecting 'neighbour' like me. Wishing you all the best and good luck!

'Chatting' moment

Since the baby boy was 3-months old, he's starting to babble. All the sound he could make is only "ahh", "ooh", "ooo"...... I've once heard him saying "ai-ya!" but there was just co-incident, because he never pronounce that since then... :)

Now, night time is his 'chatting' time, when put him on the bed, he likes us to 'chat' with him. Although he can only respond with "ahh"s and "ooo"s, and now he can pronounce "ang-ku", he still very enjoy the moment -- We can tell from his facial expression, because all the moment he's just keeping his smiling face.

But still, he sometimes looked like he's annoyed when I couldn't understand what's he 'saying'. He'll respond with angry "oh"s or frown, like blaming me why I so stupid that can't understand him... =.="

Boy boy, I can't speak 'baby language', just bear with me if I couldn't understand you. I think only my mum will know what's he mentioning about with only those "ahh" and "ohh"...... mother is mother, isn't it?

My second presentation

This is my second presentation for the application. And this time, my TL and boss were around, so you can imagine how stressful I was. ><"

As far as I could remember, I believe that I didn't have any English presentation since I was graduated. For most of the people, it doesn't mean anything, or not a big deal. But for me, it is quite a big challenge.

I could say the presentation was not prefect, but at least has gone through well. And hopefully they could understand what I was talking about... at last tomorrow I can have a rest and don't need to have anymore training for some time.

But still, I need to finish work at night.... T_T

1am in the morning

It's 1am in the morning. While I'm still sitting in front of my pc, suddenly there was a sharp and loud cry came from the master room. The baby is crying again.

He's just as punctual as an alarm clock. Almost every morning, between 12am to 2am (sometimes 3am), you would sure hear his cry, so loud until you couldn't ignore. And this has been last for almost a week, nobody knows what he wants, we just try our best to comfort him and lulled him to sleep. And normally my parents will be the one who stay by his side, he feels more secure with my parents, because they are the people who take care of him most of the time.

Another 4 days to go, will be his 4-month old. I'm still checking for the growing progress for a 4-month baby.... although this little fella is not like others. It can be a reference at least. I don't know how long he'll still be like this, I just hope that things will go better gradually when he's getting elder. It's really not easy to take care of a baby, especially an infant. And it really has taught me a lesson......

My First 'Training'

Start from today, I'll work 11am-8pm shift for fortnight. Because of the newcomers still not ready yet, before they have gone through all their trainings and be well-prepared to go on live, I still need to rotate the shift with other agent in my team.

And this is my first time, conducting the training for these 2 new agents, and preparing the presentation materials for them. It's not good enough, I admit that. But within this short period, I just hope that they will catch up as much as they could.

I have been giving a training to new agent previously, but that time it was a one-to-one training, I don't need to prepare so much and all the documents are not that organized, I have to browse everywhere to 'dig out' whatever I thought it's useful and tried my best to let him understand.

This time, I decided to make my own material, because I don't want to tell others about something that I don't even quite understand what is it.

Hopefully they could catch up with the knowledge asap so that we can have one more agent to back us up. I don't think I can afford another 2 weeks night shift anymore.

Insurance, your security of life and properties

Do you buy insurance? In our nation, most of the working people will have at least one insurance on hand. Life insurance is for yourself and your loving family, and you need to buy a Home insurance when you buy a house, and get an Car insurance for your car. It's not what you can totally escape from, unless you don't own anyone of them.

I don't own a car nor house, but I do have some personal insurance with me and I need to pay out almost 20% of my monthly income. Yes, the amount is quite huge for me. That's why some of the people thought that, buying insurance is increasing their financial burden. But you have to believe it, it worth more than that. Insurance, is something that you will only know how important it is when you need it. It's something that to protect your life, your health, and your properties.

If you wished to buy a car, don't forget to compare car insurance within different insurance companies so that you can get the most coverage and valuable policy.

Regards from an old friend

This afternoon, I received a msn message from one of my old friend.

We have hardly met with each other since we were graduated from the colleage, and then I've lost contact with her. Until recently, I met her when she accepted my Friendster's request, and then I knew that she was married. I got her blog URL from one of our common friend, and from there, I knew that she's now having her first baby girl.

I'm so glad that through the internet, we can meet with our old friends. There are so many platforms and websites that we can keep contact with our friends, or even search back all our 'lost' friends that you thought you might not be seeing them anymore.

She message me because she saw my display picture and thought that the baby is mine... haha! Yet I still feel so happy when I received her message. We might not be so closed during college time, but sometimes when time change, things might changed too. Like one of the friend (who is going to be instructor) I met in the fitness center, she used to be my friend's housemate in college, I think we had just met a few times only, but when we saw each other again, we were getting closer and talk a lot.

Thanks for still remember me, and I'm so glad to see you all have a happy and enjoyable life. Keep in touch and all the BEST to you!

Stardust

Actually I wasn't so impressed about its preview or movie trailer, like what was commented in a local newspaper, it can be voted as the worst movie trailer for this year.


However, it's still a nice movie, really. Magic, witches, fantasy, pirates, pretty girl like a princess or fairy (the 'Star'), smart, brave and good-looking guy like a prince, good and evil, adventure....... it's like a bedtime story just same as what we heard about Snow White, Cinderella, when we was young? or some others like a prince fights with a fierce dragon to save the princess......

It might not be the best movie in this movie, but it really a worth-watching movie, if you like fantasy, magic and adventure.

New look for the Pyramid...

After so long of renovation, finally the most popular shopping mall in Sunway -- The Sunway Pyramid has its new look.

This is the second "new mall" following by The Gardens that I've been to yesterday. The difference is, The Garden is a new shopping mall in Mid Valley, but Pyramid is just expanding to another new building.

If compared with The Gardens, I prefer the design of Sunway Pyramid. At least it makes me feel more comfortable. Maybe they're targetting at different customers range, so it won't be the same.


Happy Birthday, Lu Ee!

Here comes my another friend's birthday.

She is my BEST friend ever, since our high school. She likes music and art so that she studied music and now working as a music teacher. Both of us like music actually and we had joined brass band together before, but we like different genre of music, she prefer classical, jazz and sentimental, but my favourite is pop, hip-hop, dance and some kind of rock... maybe that's why we never discuss about music before, haha! However, I really admire what she has accomplished for music and I hope that she can continue to achieve higher.

Wishing her all the BEST in the future.
Wishing her to have easier and happier life ever.
Wishing all the happiness will come to her, and all the worries and unhappiness will keep away from her.
Wishing her to keep her smiles always and be cheerful all the time.

Thank you for always be by my side and sharing my every laugh and tears. You'll always be my best friend in my life.

I'm sorry I couldn't be able to send you your birthday card on time. But still you will get my greetings online. :)

A birthday is a special day for a special someone - someone like you, and this greeting comes with warmest wishes for the things a very happy birthday bring.

Happy Birthday 2U!!!

Hello Friend!

Today I met with one of my old friend today. I knew her since we were in college, and then we joined the same society -- First Aid Unit. It's something like St. John, but of course, it's not that 'professional'......

Before that, I told my another friend about I had an old friend ask me out, without second thought, he told me that it's probably she wanted to 'throw' me a 'red bomb' (wedding invitation). According to his experience, if there was someone who you never meet for a couple of years, but suddenly ask you out, either he or she would like to invite you to his/her wedding, or he or she is doing direct selling. It's kind of pessimistic thought, but it's what his experience.

Luckily, she didn't throw me any 'bomb'. She just asked me out for a gathering, talked about how are we getting on recently. We had a walk to Mid Valley, and 'visited' the new shopping mall, The Gardens. Although it doesn't impress me much, at least I've been there for once.

I like to hang out with friends, especially when you are meeting with some 'old' friends. It's precious moment when you have chance to keep in touch with someone you knew. But because of busy working life and some of them already have their own family, it's no longer easy for you to meet up. Keeping a friendship actually is not easy, that's why I precious every friends who keep contact with me.

We went home at about 5pm. I guess she is going to get married a year or later. Maybe we will not meet with each other again so soon. But we still can contact via MSN and Facebook. Internet is amazing, isn't it? Now I'm expecting another gathering with my other coursemates. It's just up to them to decide the date, time and venue.

The Gardens

This is the first time I walk into The Gardens. A new shopping mall next to Mid Valley Megamall. Frankly, it doesn't impressed me too much. Maybe I put too high expectations when it was first opened, especially when I saw the beautiful pictures on the press, magazines and my friend's blog. But when I really stepped into the place, I was a bit...... disappointed.

Most of the shops in the mall are branded shops or designer's shops. One thing for sure, people like us (average-income cosumers), are not their target customers. However, I'm still quite amazed by its "Hogwards-like" design of the walkway, if you saw them from the ground floor, it just seems like the crossing staircase in Hogwards...

The other shopping mall I would like to go is Pavilion, which is located in the golden triangle at Bukit Bintang. As I heard from my friends who have been there, it also target on those weathies, as most of them are branded shops. I just want to see their designs and structures.

It seems like most of the shopping malls are expanding. Besides Mid Valley, and the new wing in 1 Utama years ago, there comes a new phase for Sunway Pyramid too. I might be there tomorrow, and then I shall see what is the difference and how can it impress me (or maybe... not?).

Free Rice

Recently read a news for this on the local newspaper. The Free Rice website, provide you a chance to learn new vocabs for free (nothing special for this though... haha), but the most meaningful thing is, at the same time, you can do charity too!

If you have selected an answer correctly, they will donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations, for those hungry people for free. All you need to do is to find the correct meaning for the word, from the 4 options below, just by one simple click, you can help people.

10 grains of rice, for most of the people like us, means nothing much, but imagine if there is millions of internet users around the world click on it in one day, there will be a numerous figure. And it has been proved by the satistics on the site: since it first launched on 7 Oct 2007, up till Nov 12, the total rice that has been donated has reached 1,519,627,180 grains. It's amazing, right?

So why don't you just start from now on, go to the website, learn some new words, and give a helping hand to those in need.

A Joke?

From the conversation, we just found that the new guy might not necessary joining our team. I was so shocked when I heard that.

Is it some kind of joke or what? If he's not hired for our team, then why the boss asked us to talk with him? Were he using us to help him to interview for his other team? Why we were never been told about that?

I knew that because of the constraint of human resource and cost reduction, it's not easy to find a new agent for a team. Not only us, all the center is having the same problem. Not all the left employee can get a replacement. But if that is the case and he's really not for our team, then they might possibly making fun of us.

That's why I insist that he should go and confirm with our boss. We can afford any delay at this moment. I only promised to take the shift for a fortnight, but not any longer. Otherwise I might consider to give up......

But still, everything still need to be confirmed. We just wait and see how thing goes. Maybe things will come better, I'm not sure. Just hope that it won't be a dissappointed decision.

Happy Birthday, My Friend!

Today is one of my best friend's birthday. He used to be my coursemate, and colleague too. Actually we do not have much in common, but somehow we are able to become best friends and I can share so many 'information' with him.

As a big fan of the most scary Marilyn 'Mad'son, I hope that he could find more happiness and meaningful work for himself. And hope that he can have all his dreams come true.

Happy 'Bird'-Day JinYan!

p/s: my another 'super best' friend's birthday is coming soon... it seems like it's a happy November time... haha!

My house is more than 20 years 'old', so you can expect the concrete flooring already old, stained and cracked. Maybe it's time for me to get a new garage floor for my house.

Are they allowed to do that?

Recently watched a reality television game show, an Asian version. Contestants come from different Asian countries, in that episode, 2 Malaysian team were still in the top position.

One of their challenge, was that the contestants had to drive by themselves, from KL city all the way to Shah Alam stadium, so, they had to pass through a highway.

One of the contestant from don't know which country, was overtook by a Malaysian team.

"It's them! The Malaysian Team!" One of them shouted.
"Wow! They are fast!" another one said.


"Are they allowed to do that?"

Friday, November 9, 2007

Just update...

Nothing special is happening recently....
Still sitting in front of the PC in a freezing office everyday.
Still watching TV every night after dinner.
Still try our effort to comfort the little fella who always cries and very fussy at night.
Sometimes go online, surfing around and blogging....
Is there anything more meaningful to do?
I'm still looking for it.

New Guy has come

Finally, we got a guy joining our team. He starts work since yesterday, but because I was on MC, I only gotta meet him today.

I'm not sure how he'll perform and how he will get along with other teammates, now it's still too early to judge.

Actually he got nothing much to do today, it's normal for new-comers. They need to schedule his training sessions, furthermore he still doesn't have access to any application yet, it's quite hard to guide him through without giving him any visualization. I had the experience before that why I understand.

Just let him has some "Honeyweek" currently, give him some basic documents just for reference. Later he'll know how busy he will be and will precious all the time he's enjoying now. Haha!

Camera? Phone? or Camera Phone?

I used to take photos and somehow I prefer taking photos to get myself in the shot. But I never spend a lot in the cameras or any reference i.e. magazines, books, etc. Until my brother suddenly so fond of photographing and crazy about it, I start to find my interest in it as well.

Actually I don't really own a camera before, either it's bought by my family members or it's lucky draw gift on my sis's company dinner. The first ever camera I bought was about 2 years ago, it's a film camera which I thought it's cheap although digital camera was very popular during that time. And it is the only camera I paid for it.

Now I'm using my sis's digicam, it's not a up-to-date camera, and its function and quality not very good as well. But no other choice, it's the only digicam I have now.

Some of my friends would buy a camera phone rather than just buy a camera itself. For them, having camera, phone, mp3 player and FM radio.... at the same time is very worth it. They don't need to pay extra money to buy each separately. But for me, I prefer to get something that has good quality just for a single function, it's like you can't get a mobile with high-quality camera functions, unless you are willing to pay for high price. Of course you also can argue that it's my excuse as I can't afford for a high-quality camera phone.

It's just depends on your choice: a camera, a phone (mobile) separately, or get yourself a camera phone and has the both function at the same time?

Enjoy Your Holidays with great offers!!

It's a holiday season again, in last October we just have our Halloween, now the Thanks Giving and the most important holiday in a year, Christmas is just around the corner.

Everytime when it comes to a greeting season, it is quite a head-ache for me to find a best present for my friends. Sometimes things are not easily to get on stores because you have to spend whole day to walk around in the shopping complex or some departmental stores and you still couldn't find the thing you want.

Luckily, there is a great place for you to get all your gifts in an alternative way. couponchief.com is here to sort things out. You don't need to worry about what to buy anymore. As I just had a browse on the website, it provides you all the coupons for most of the well-known stores around the world, you can send the coupons to your friends as a gift, or just use the coupon to buy the presents yourself. It sounds interesting right? With the coupons, you can also save a lot for your holiday gifts.

So why don't you try out a way that you don't need to go out and hang around for your gifts and furthermore get special offers?

I got some ideas for my wishlist in my mind now, it's good to get some Baby Center coupons so that I can save a lot for his Christmas gift.

Of course I also won't forget to get some Dell Coupons and buy a laptop for my father as what he always wish for. I still need to explore more to find something for my brother and sister also to my best friends too.

What will you get for your family and friends? Just visit the website below to find out. Enjoy your holiday!!

Getting a Broadband

It has been so long, I have thinking to get a broadband for my home.

Yes, I'm still using the dial-up networking to connect to internet. It's quite out and it's extremely slow. Even a simple website browsing will take me minutes to hours. By the time I finish my jobs, it's already a few hours later.

Actually the reason why my brother still hesitating to get a broadband at home, one is because he is not at home all the time. He stays outside and only come back during weekends and holidays. Another reason is, since we are not using our home pc always, (most of the time I stay in the office and when the time I come back, it's already night time.) so it's not worth to get a 24-hour broadband service, furthermore actually the internet charges in our country is not cheap enough if compared with others.

But as the slow performance really getting us mad as most of the websites are upgraded and we have to take more time to load the page, moreover, there are still so many websites we can't get in due to the speed. He'll need to download some free softwares and large files from the internet in the future, if we still using the "snail line" like this, it'll highly affect our internet usage.

But, which is the best performance and better value broadband service provider in the market? Do you have any recommendation?

Have a Nice Trip

Have you ever experienced that, when you planned to visit a place, but after you arrived, you found that all the hotels were full? or you have difficulty to find the best rate and best services hotel in the area?

I still remember the last time when my aunt and her family paid a visit to Melacca, but since they didn't make any reservation, they end up couldn't find any accomodation because it was the peak holiday season and all the hotels are fully-booked. They had no choice but to turn back and stayed in our house for a night.

This bad experience had sploit their holiday mood, but had taught them a lesson: Remember to get your acommodation before you go to the place. Now we don't have to suffer that, you can find a acommodation with full information and reserve it online.

With Hotel Reservations, you can get all the useful information about the hotels and other accomodations from the web, do a comparation before you make any decision, and make your reservation with best rates, even rebates!

This website is simple and easy to use. Just input the date of your visit, the city that you will visit to, the numbers of rooms and people, then they will find you the hotels available in the city. Including information such as hotel description, location, special promotion, facilities, properties, rental, and so on. They will also provide you the photos for that hotel so that you can have a better view on it. There is no other website can give you that complete information and best rates at the same time.

Besides hotel reservations, you may also find the car rental, flight booking, vacation rentals, vacation packages, and all other information in Hotel Reservations. No matter you are just planning for a short visit, a business trip, or a family vacation, this is the best one-stop website that can get your accomodation and some transportation settled in all around the world. You don't need to worry about the price because they will help you to get the best.

You can explore the website to find out more interesting offers. Next time if you are planning for a vacation, remember to get everything prepared and you will find youself more enjoyed during the visit.

MC for today....

Just had a 2D1N trip to Melaka on last weekend, but end up getting skin allergy and have to take MC today.

If you asked me, I can say this is a quite interesting journey that could have a chance to relax myself and spent some time with my fellow colleagues, as usually I don't have time getting along with them during working days. (Because my desk is quite far from theirs, and most of the time I'm busy doing my works in my places seldom chat with them.)

However, I also found out so much differences with them. One most obvious thing is that, they likes to drink but I don't really enjoy it. I understand that drinking is one way of sociality, but everytime after I drink, I'll get skin allergy, I hate the itchy feeling and the dizziness after the drink.

It's not tasty, it makes you feel uncomfortable or even suffer for the rest of the days, I don't understand why still so many people are fond of that. I think yesterday's drink will be my limit for my life, I won't take so much and get myself suffer in the future...... I hope.

Get Paid for your posts

Lots of friends of mine are bloggers. They like to blog, like to record down whatever they saw, they experienced, the new interesting stuff that they found and would like to share with others, their travel experiences.... everything they will put on their blogs and share with their friends.

I was recommended by one of my crazy blogger friend that, since I like to blog so much, why don't I do it for some values. That's why he introduced me the payperpost website. From here, you can get paid for the thing you have written or posted. The topics are variety, you can choose the one that you are interested in, and then give your review, your opinion or even just introduce it to your friends. It's sound attractive, right?

With these earnings, I can use it as my extra income, pay my bills and so on, or even donate it to some charity. You don't need to always keep it to yourself.

Thank you for my friend and payperpost for giving me this opportunity. This is the website that I strongly recommend to you and hope that you can enjoy it too!

Crazy Blogger

Recently one of my blogger friend has gone crazy for blogging, the blog almost updated everyday -- not only update with one blog, sometimes with > 10 blogs!! Really crazy......

Blogging for me, is just another way of writing your diary. The difference is, you won't share your diaries with the public, but blogs will. And you won't really write anything really private or secret in your blog, but your diaries will have all your stories, your privacy, your secret and everything.... However, many people write blogs, but not all of us have our own diary.

My life is just too simple to write my experience in my blog, I don't even take a flight in my life, never been more than 4 states in Malaysia (Perak, Sembilan, Melaka, Selangor.... no more, passed by doesn't count.), do not have night life, seldom hang out with friends..... my life actually is quite simple, boring and dull.

Although I'm quite enjoying my life right now (nothing much to complain isn't it?), but still I'm thinking of making a change in the coming year. Maybe flying to somewhere far from my place or having a jungle tracking... sound exciting huh? hahaha... then I shall have more topics and contents for my blogs.

3rd month of Boy Boy

Our BoyBoy is 3-month old now.

He's grown up, not as 'tiny' as when he was born. He also become more active and lively, know a bit how to interact with people. He will turn his head and eyes towards the direction where the interesting sound or voice comes from. He loves to coo and gurgle like he's trying to 'talk' to somebody. He will startle when he hears loud or disturbing noise, even if the sound of a motorbyte, or just open a door. Besides, he likes to play with his fingers too.

He cries very frequent now, and showing unpeacefulness all the time. He likes staring vacantly with nervous face..... it makes him cries more often sometimes just because of a single noise or a sudden touch on him. And this is also how he passed his 3-month birthday.

But as checked from the web, all these things seem to be normal. This is how a 3-month baby will act. My parents are getting very tired, even exhausted when taking care of the little fella at night. Hopefully the thing will get better soon.

Happy 3-month birthday, Boy Boy!

We got a mandarin agent finally....

Is it really so difficult to find a good mandarin speaker who is willing to work in a call center in Malaysia?

After more than 6 months searching, finally we got one new mandarin agent to fill up the vacancy.

Maybe it's hard to believe, we have about 25%-30% Chinese of the total population. But still not easy to find somebody who can speak Mandarin well, even they can speak well, they are not necessary will apply this job, even they will apply a customer service job, they won't apply to this company. That's why we did have a hard time to get somebody who can fit in.

Many Malaysian Chinese now more emphasize on English education, you can see so many Chinese here are not good in Chinese, some don't even recognize a single Chinese character. There are lesser Chinese family will send their children to Chinese secondary school, for most of the parents, six years of Chinese education is more than enough for their children, as long as they can speak and read. Some don't even think it's important at all. Maybe in the future, it's harder to get a good Mandarin speaker in our country.

I don't know how long this guy will stay, maybe this is not his ideal job for his career growth. In the opposite way, we also don't know if this guy can work well with the team, everything is still too early to say. But at least, we don't need to wait any longer.
