Kisah AKU n Goodbye CapSource!

Assalamualaikum,

Eh awal update blog hari ni? Bukan tengah office hour ke sekarang? Macam mana boleh update blog ni Ferdi? Haha, aku sekarang ni kerja flexi hour, suka hati lah nak buat apa pun. Okay lah, meh aku cerita sikit apa yang sebenarnya terjadi ni.

Yesterday, 31st of March 2016. I tendered my resignation in CapSource as a full time employee. This resignation was made according to the Management's decision to take down APAC Department where I being placed. As being mentioned repeatedly in this blog, MICE industry depending on the market condition. If the economy is strong, we can sustain. If not, we all suffering. That's what we faced now, not just in CapSource but in other companies too. IQPC and SMP closed it's APAC operation earlier this year and now, it's our turn.

Sebenarnya aku dah expect yang benda ni akan berlaku, cuma tak sangka ianya too imminent. From my calculation by looking on our sales cycle, together with some other seniors here. We expect that the APAC Department will close it's door somewhere around Late May or Early June. Last Wednesday, I have a chat with our CEO in his room. Time tu lah aku diberitahu yang he gonna close the team this week. So, petang tu jugak aku dah start packing fail-fail, dokumen-dokumen yang ada..:-)

Semalam is the final day of March, and also for 5 of us. Datang office macam biasa, buat mana-mana callback yang ada. We had our lunch together at the nearest KFC. After lunch, I had a quick conversation with Wayne and later, signed the resignation letter and effectively remove me from CapSource's payroll.

Around 4PM, I left the office. Sambung melepak dengan diorang kat NZ sampai pukul 7. Bersembang lah mengenai our plan lepas ni. Nia nak sambung Master. Danial pulak ada 2 upcoming interview minggu depan. Our manager pulak wanted to set up his own company and Ernie nak buat online business since she's now pregnant so payah nak cari kerja.

 Actually it's a blessing jugak, since I will have my biggest interview 19 April ni. Boleh la study sikit subjek-subjek lama kat UiTM tu and I need to have that job. I must have it! On to my financial plan, this resignation disrupted my plan to lock RM 10000 by the end of this year. Of course, I still have some 5K in the bank, but for how long it can sustain there without additional pump in every month? Acano nak kahwin ni? haha

Singgah Pasar Malam kat Sungai Buaya. Rasanya dah hampir 5 tahun tak jejak kaki sini. Beli Nasi Dagang dengan Cendol je untuk dinner semalam..:-) 

Simpan lagi benda-benda ni dalam laci yang sama time aku resigned from Trueventus dulu. Bayangkan dalam 2 tahun, I faced 2 resignation. Korang yang ada kerja stabil tu, jaga lah elok-elok but hey, at least you guys tak duduk dalam this cruel industry, correct?

But then, we are lucky enough to have boss like Wayne. He offered us to do freelance there. Takde gaji but we still can use facilities like phone, and even our e-mail. Payment is by commission basis. Currently I agreed to proceed with our inaugural Housing Asia 2016 Conference as a Sales Freelancer and The Inter-Corporation Futsal Championship 2016 as Project Freelancer. At least, takde lah boring duduk rumah sementara tunggu interview tu, we can still visit the office and I'm planning to take 3 days a week.

Eh, kali ni takde backup plan ke? Haha, memang takde. The best yang aku boleh buat ialah doing freelance work for CapSource and keep focus in my interview. Maybe visit some tuition center kat Rawang for any tutoring opportunities. Lepas interview tu baru kita gila-gila job hunting macam dulu..:-)

So, that's the end of my full-time employment at CapSource. I wish the company the best of luck! Don't worry, pasni aku datang jugak sekali-sekala..:-p

Kisah AKU n CapSource's Annual Dinner

Assalamualaikum,

Malam tadi after office hour around 7PM, our company ada small gathering and dinner before menamatkan operasi bagi tahun 2015 ni. Walaupun belum pun sampai sebulan lagi kat sini, but still dapat join since dah jadi a part of CapSource's family..:-)

Venue of our dinner tadi ialah di Wangsa Grill@Chef Zubir, Wangsa Maju. Sebuah restoran yang menawarkan western food ranging from a large variety of steaks, lobsters, pastas and many more. Rajin-rajin nanti korang check lah website diorang di Laman Grill.

Dinner tadi takde tema pun. So, this is my outfit of the day. Baju Treblemaker in action again! ;-P

Yang tudung biru tu Kak Ernie, my team leader time kat Trueventus dulu and..

Hazeem and Min, both of them pun from Trueventus jugak..haha. Dah macam mini reunion pulak. Kalau ajak Abang Lan after dia recover knee operation nanti pun best rasanya..:-)

Lena from our Production Team with Daud, our EMEA Director.

Kalau kat Trueventus we have 2 bearded guys - Poven and Karuna , kat sini pulak kita ada Said and Azeem..haha

Yang perempuan berbaju hitam diapit oleh Daud and Said tu namanya Sarah, from EMEA Department. Kuat makan dia ni..huu

Tadi jugak kami meraikan birthday some of our employee yang lahir dalam bulan 12. Min, Jenny (our Finance&HR lady) dan juga Faried (yang kat tengah tu). Happy Birthday guys! God Bless!

Haa, yang belah kanan tu lah Wayne. My new boss, orangnya baik tak kira lah dalam or luar pejabat. A man with a very wide vision, know how to listen to his employee for any suggestion and room for improvement. A very rare quality yang ada pada bosses zaman sekarang, especially yang gila duit and takde adab..haha

Teruja tengok makanan yang banyak atas meja..huu

Jom selak sikit apa yang aku telan tadi. This is my main course - Beef Steak. Portion memang banyak, kenyang dia sampai sekarang terasa lagi..huu

Lobster Thermidor. Tak silap aku, ni menu Level 10 dalam game The Sims or known as The Divine Meal..haha

Dessert. Ni Min punya, terlebih order tu yang dia bagi aku dengan Kak Ernie. Aku mana lah makan pencuci mulut, lagi-lagi bila dapat hat yang coklat cair camni..hee

We conclude our dinner at 8.45PM with short yet inspirational speech from our boss. He planned to bring us to Sri Lanka next year, tak tau apa ada kat sana but sounds interesting. One more thing, kalau esok achieve target, Wednesday dapat day off..huu

Keluar Wangsa Maju around 9 PM. Singgah R&R Rawang, solat Isya', topup minyak + Touch N Go and beli Nescafe satu tin. Ngantuk bai, dah lama tak kenyang gila macam ni..:-)

Erm okay lah guys, dah nak dekat pukul 12 ni. Nak masuk tidur dulu, esok kena bangun macam biasa. Ingat dah ada event malam ni, boleh lah masuk lambat esok..haha

P/S: Puas hati dinner malam ni. Ingat nak pergi makan lagi kat restoran ni nanti..:-)

Kisah AKU n Welcome To CapSource!

Assalamualaikum,

Maaf lah lambat update lagi. Sedang dalam proses menyesuaikan diri dengan my new company ni. Okay, since aku pun tengah mengantuk ni, let's go straight to the point. This week bermula lah my new journey dalam CapSource ni. Seminggu bercuti nampaknya cukup untuk aku prepare both mental and physical to adapt the new environment here.

Walaupun dah scout jalan a week before, aku still bergerak awal dari rumah. Bukan apa, time kerja Trueventus dulu bangun awal, so dah terbiasa pulak. So, pukul 6.20 pagi aku dah gerak from Sungai Buaya, sampai Wangsa Maju around 7. Sampai je sana, rendahkan seat pastu sambung tidur sampai lah pukul 8. At least kalau terlajak tidur pun dah ada kat sini..huhu

Pukul 8, singgah breakfast kat NZ. Yang bestnya office baru ni, betul-betul located depan Wangsa Walk Mall. Boleh lah singgah karok lepas habis kerja..:-p

Hari first dah lunch kat Manhattan. Kalau hari-hari macam ni memang kontang lah wallet tengah bulan..:-p Tak lah, ni first day je, hari lain makan nasi dah..:-)

Ni guest room untuk client. Simple dan kemas.

Ada pantry, toilet and paling penting, surau dalam office. Walaupun our boss Chinese, takde pulak dengar ada limit nak pergi sembahyang macam kat tempat tu. If you know what I mean..haha

My new workstation. Siap ada stress ball sorang satu, a good way to handle work pressure, I guess.

Hari Rabu tu sempat lunch bersama budak-budak ni. Semua dah kerja dekat-dekat, memang senang lah pasni nak lunch sama-sama. Ni pun sebab nak finalize our trip ke Thailand akhir tahun ni. Tak sabar gila ni!

Ni je lah gambar yang aku ada minggu ni. Minggu depan aku snap lagi, nak kena introduce jugak colleagues baru aku kat sini..:-) Oops terlupa pulak, kat sini our office attire memang relax. Depends nak pakai apa asalkan tak melampau, haha. Nak pakai formal boleh, smart casual pun okay.

Office hour habis pukul 5.30, tapi aku gerak dari Wangsa Maju dalam pukul 7 since minggu ni aku sorang je kat rumah. Family semua pergi Penang. Had my dinner and melepak sorang-sorang kat Wangsa Walk sambil memerhati gelagat manusia kat sana..:-)

Ni padahnya kalau nak keluar pukul 6. Walaupun sampai awal sikit, tapi tak enjoy lah driving tersengguk-sengguk..haha. Minggu depan ayah and Along restart kerja, and diorang kata nak balik time-time camni..waa, habis lah aku..:-p

Jangan tanya kenapa nama jadi Ferdiansyah tu..haha. Aku lagi campaign untuk market Indonesia, makanya nama itu langsung tukar jadi Mas Ferdi, keren bangett..haha

New environment, new colleague, new bosses and new spirit. Many congratulation and God Speed Ferdi for your new endeavor!

P/S: Malam ni nak layan Piala Malaysia involving my favourite team, Selangor VS Kedah. Harap-harap lah menang. Amin..:-)
