No Money Buy Car In Malaysia Story

today i woke up at 8.10am.
then i just get myself prepared as i will driving to somewhere around Kota Kemuning for job interview.
around 9am i drove from home but still need to depend on my phone's GPS to reach there as i was not very familiar with the road's route.
somehow i do faced some difficulties using Papago as sometime it is out of route and only know use expensive toll or longer route guidance.
at the end, i manage to arrive there earlier than appointment time since their place is quite isolated near the Bukit Rimau area.
as usual i am required to fill up the employment form and just start to introduce myself to the vice president marketing and marketing manager.

after presenting myself for about 30 minutes, i start to understand more about their business which is related to premium photo book products.
moreover, i do know a bit about the printing machine that they use since they said the machine cost about 7 digits figure which might be one of the reason they can print such high quality product.
furthermore, i do like their company culture as gave me a "foreign country" feelings since they have global offices that located in Malaysia, Philippines, Australia and Canada.
at the end of conversation, the V.P marketing told me about the salary that i demanded was too high for young graduate and she said even some of her employee that have a degree certificate also don't have such high salary.
well, i think i can consider this job because they do provide accommodation for FREE.

however, one thing i don't like about myself that i need to lied/cheat where i had own a car although it is my brother's car as he also told me that i should state i have car in my resume.
after that, i went to have my lunch at the McDonald's Kota Kemuning (Shah Alam) for the first time if i am not mistaken. (feeling myself like to promote Mc Donalds everytime i visits a new outlet)
on the way back to the car service repair center at Klang, i was facing difficulties in finding route as i eventually lost in somewhere near "Bangunan Saab Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah" as below.
therefore i just took a picture of it as i feel it is quite "special" for me can go to some place like that.
as i arrive the car repair shop, luckily the owner tell me it is just cost RM150 for the "scratch accident" that i went through yesterday at Mid Valley.
finally i reach back home at 2pm and discuss my jobs interview with my parents.

somehow i feel frustrated again about the "car issues" where i hope to have at least my own car no matter it is second hand car's or not.
then i just phoned my brother that still in Vietnam business trip to talk about it but he had discourage to do so since my "academic" things still haven came to an ending.
frankly speaking, my feelings for that moment was sad because i was wondering why other's people parents can buy car for their children but i need to buy the car on my own?
seriously i do feel myself really "sucks" for this kind of "poor shxt" feelings.
it is because in some people point of view, they thought i was rich as my father own a printing factory last time and have been in the business for 25 years+ but who knows it is the type of traditional business model which will eventually eliminate from the competition.

anyways, i just make a move from home around 3.40pm as i will have another second interview from competitor company.
then i just went to the nearby Perodua Myvi shop to ask about the price and looks like it is start from as low as RM299 for the first year payment and RM1000 rebate for student as shown picture below.
while on the way back to KL, i just saw a Roll's Royce car and another Bently car was escort by few police car from front and just having some thought again. (guess it is guy's come period liao)
around 5pm i arrived home and get myself prepared for the second interview as i just parked the car at Wangsa Maju to take the LRT to KLCC.
before there, i just have my dinner at Kopitiam Desa and there was so many people queue up for it.
as i arrived the KLCC station at 7pm, i find it is quite hard to find the competitor company.

at the end, i do find my ways and just present myself after fill up the employment form.
well, the employer just told me that "i don't think you will face any problem to find job looking at what you present to me" but i still need to consider since he need to find something else.
anyways, i just feel myself giving free information to people so easily and feel quite "sucks" again.
around 8.20pm i went to take LRT back but as the train goes by, i realized that i had sit wrong direction which eventually take me to Pasar Seni around 8.35pm since i was in a "blur" mood.
at last, i manged to reach home at 9.20pm and feel so tired.
then i just have some conversation with my brother again and he just advice me a lot to not buy a car as shown picture below.
honestly, at first i don't feel like posting it but just feel that why should i hide the real me and another reason was maybe one day or someday, there is people although it is just a person or reading this "No Money Buy Car In Malaysia Story" post facing similar problem like me and hopefully he can think something or reconsider about it when review/look through my case as it is my real own experiences.
overall i did feel "emos" for today after my conversation with my brother as my tears eventually dropped down.

Arashi Lover said...

Hey, long time no contact here!! Sorry, I've been really busy lately...
Anyway, your brother is awesome. You're lucky to have such brother...

But really, not getting a car is not a big deal. I mean like we're still young!!

Don't fall into a space like my boyfriend did, as he thinks getting a car is so important that he immediately bought a cheap second hand wira in a rush and ended up, his maintenance cost him too much from his monthly salary.

Good luck ya!!

P.S. Thanks for visiting my blog!! =D

Woo!!! I like what your brother wrote to you, it's so true, you should think wisely, stop thinking what you don't have and concern on what you have, can see that he's a lot of working experiences and also understand the society very well. Seriously, the transport is a really small issue, let's think like this, rich people always get what they want, their parents give them everything, but maybe they never treasure what have, they need their family financial support to get a car. I understand that in your point of view, you will think that "why're they so lucky?", but why not you think like this "I will prove that I can buy a car with my own money, from what I earn", isn't that much prouder to say it out loud and I believe you'll feel much happier with it. Don't think only think about the obstacles in front of you, think even further, think what's more important to concern about now. If you want a car, aim for it, set it as your target. But, didn't you say you will go to UK in next three months, just three months, why not concern on save up your paid and keep in for your UK trip...About that you were keep on concern on that you're lonely, don't have a girlfriend, remember what I told you, try to learn something new, go improve your English, go do some reading, or go meet up with your friends, you're studying marketing, right??? Go read marketing news or something about marketing stuff, concern about how's the market going now, while waiting to get a job, seriously, go learn something, when you're concentrate on something, I believe that you won't keep thinking about how lonely you're, why no girlfriend, why no girl like me, why I can't get good paid, why this and why that!!! [Trust me!!! It works] I'm looking for job at the same time, be honest to say, I was keep complain like your last time, but end up I think is no point about it and so I keep myself on learning, I learn a lot, I read news, knows whats happening in the world now, understand the society, the world more. I'm learning french, isn't that good to put one more language in your resume to prove that you know more language??? (you can learn something else, I learn french is easy for my job in the future), I watch a lot, for me, I'm not just watching the story, I will try to understand how's thing works, how's people life, even though is just a show but I learned how cruel the society is, watch US drama, learn how people speak fluent and proper English, moreover you can concern on something new, like me, I'm kind of like a 3C expert, because I always love to watch YouTube video seeing how those people giving 3C things reviews, I read a lot, I finished one book in a week, reading can help you to improve your writing style. Well, we're totally different major, beside those general comments, I don't know what else should I say, beside from those general comments, in order to improve my major skills, I read many aircraft, mechanic or sciences magazine, I also will follow about aviation news. That's how I keep myself busy and I won't feel lonely all the time, well, I do feel lonely sometimes but just get of from the chair, get some interesting stuff to do. Plus one thing, I need to do housework some more!!! Hey, I do really love how you write your blog, why not you promise yourself that I MUST finish one happy task in one day and share it to all my readers, and let your readers be proud and happy for you!!!

Well, I know this is so long, but as old people always says "is for your own good!!!"
