I'm writing (or typing) this in my office at Plaza Ampang City. With the mild headache I had just earlier (and still suffering), work is not something that I had in mind. *Sigh*...

Well, let's go straight to my update. Thursday I went to Gemas with my boss, Chris, to help him do a training on Supervisory Skill for a company there. The training session is for 2 days, and considering the level of education of the participants, I got the honor of being the translator. It's not that Chris doesn't speak Malay, but English is his dominant language.

In the training we covered areas such as leadership, teamwork, change management, communication, basics of IR (Industrial Relations), discipline, and grievance handling. I got to do both translating and game handling. In fact, 2 of the activities was managed by me.

The training went very well. The participants were asking for more.

Throughout the 3 days we spent there, both of us opened up quite a lot. especially me. It's good to know that your boss actually accepts you as who you are. He also revealed to me the plans he has for me. And it will require me to work fairly hard, and be more disciplined. I'm lacking in that area for the time being.

Well, gotta stop here for a bit. Brain freeze...

Update in Life

Hi there,

It has been quite sometime, hasn't it. Sorry for the long hiatus. Had been quite busy. Especially when you have an employer who is looking at you as his successor. I guess life is being more and more generous to me.

Currently I am working with Sheffield Resources Sdn Bhd, a HR solutions company. It is a wholly owned by a New Zealand-based company. 3 years old, with a staff of less than 10 people including myself. The office here is being headed by Chris and Vignes. The two of them has a cumulative HR experience of over 40 years. I really enjoyed working with them, since the working environment is more or less like a family. With me being the eldest son hehe.

So far I've been working on 3 positions, with 2 of them busted due to the lack of cooperation from the client. But along the way, I managed to secure some new contacts, mostly HR Managers and Directors. Hopefully, in the long run, my dream of being a freelance consultant
will come true. With their guidance of course.

Today, I'm going to Gemas to help my boss to conduct a training program. He actually asked me to design some game activities for the program, and conduct them.

As for the future planning, they wanted to create a newsletter, as well as conduct a forum periodically. And looking at the current composition of the staff, I might be the person in charge for them.

As for the pay, I don't get any basics. The commission is quite lucrative, though. 20% for executive search, and 10% for training programs.

Do look up the company for more info as to what we have to offer:
