News flash! This Just In…

What my readers like

People out there seems to like it when I blog about my life directions, business and working stuff.  I have a few comments (comments are RARE in my blog) for entries on these subjects.  Maybe I’ll blog more on that, to increase my readership so that the RM100 web hosting fees I pay every year would not go to waste.

My family and friends prefer that I blog about my health, more specifically the condition of my back problems.  Just call me if you want to know more.  You guys have my number mah…hehe…

I never thought of staring a blog when I got this domain name.  I got it because the “.com” version of my name wass taken, and I was frustrated because I had the chance to grab it once, but I didn’t make my move.  So I settled for justinkoh.net. 

I’ve been using the domain for 2 years now.  I used only the email functions during the first year, then when the blogging community got bigger, I’ve decided to join in and see what’s it like to be part of the internet, thus, The life of an average guy was born.

Anyway, I do appreciate it when people take time to read my rantings here.  Thanks guys/gals.

I have a job! I have a job!

Just came back from the interview I mentioned in this entry and I was offered a job!

Cropped version of my appointment letter

I will start work next week as I am preparing (erm…going to prepare) for my exams this weekend.

Anyway, I am ok with the pay.  It’s slightly higher than my previous job.  I wanted a higher pay but it’s understandable as I have not been working for nearly 1 year.  So I am quite ok with it.

Anyway, I’ll be VERY busy, according to Ken.  I hope I can cope with it, more importantly, I hope my back problems could cope with the job.

Wish me luck for my exams!

9/11 and I have an Interview

Ken called me at noon, telling me that his boss wanted to meet up with me.

His company is hiring techincal editors AKA people to write articles for the magazine.  I’ve been doing freelance for them for a few months now and I told Ken that i want to try out the position.

So I have an interview tomorrow morning, on 9/11.  I hope nothing bad will happen.

Clueless about Financial Management

I had a full day class today.  It was Business Analysis and Decision Making (BADM) in the morning and Financial Management (FM) in the afternoon.

BADM was ok as it is quite straight forward and the calculations are more related to Mathematic’s Statistics.  FM was killing me.  My exam is on Saturday and I still have not have a clue about it.  The lecturer told us that there were 70% of the class got distinction for their assignments.  How on earth do these people get distinction while I had no idea about the subject at all?!

Anyway, I didn’t get any calls from the college, which means that I passed both my assignments.  So I am not worried about redoing my assignments.  All I have to do is focus on my exams now.

On another note, I joined Nuffnang’s community! Thanks to you guys, I fulfill the “20 unique visitors a day” clause in their T&C.  Now where are my ads?

Exam time!

My exams are coming soon.  And I have not started studying yet.  My notes are still in my bag and my text book is spanking new.

I guess I should start on Monday.  Yeah Monday.  Sunday is not a day for working/studying!

This will be my final exams for the first part of my MBA course.  After this, hopefully, I’ll be in the second part, which I heard was tough.

Anyway, Apple released new iPods and I fell in love with the iPod Nano, AKA Fatty.  RM829 for the 8GB version.  Should I?
