Motivational Quotes

There are times when we are down and we need some motivational boost
I have a notebook where i collect motivational quotes to keep me motivated whenever i feel down
As the saying goes, sharing is caring
and here you go...

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

It is never too late to be what you might have been - George Eliot

No matter how good or bad you think life is, wake up each day and be thankful for life. Someone somewhere else is fighting to survive.

In life you'll realise that there is a purpose for every person you meet.
Some are there to test you, some will use you, some will teach you and some will bring out the best of you.

All our dream can come true if we have the courage to pursure them. - Walt Disney


Hope these can give you some boost and brighten up your day

Have a great day peeps!!!! =)

Intern to MACH (Moments To Be Treasured)


OMG… 3 months has passed so fast, sorry for not updating my blog for such a long period of time as I was busy with my internship.

I really can’t accept the fact that today will be my last day intern-ing with Microsoft Malaysia Sdn Bhd. To be honest, I thought I will be excited the day when my internship ends. However, I actually feel sad and heavy hearted. L I guess I am loving this place after all. It was really a great journey and I learned so much throughout this 3 months from paper works, collecting data, learning all the technology to meeting a bunch of awesome people. FYI, for a non-techy like me, learning to love and appreciate awesome technology that Microsoft has wasn’t easy at all. LOL no kidding!!  To me, technology was never my interest and I never imagined myself working in software IT company, but after spending almost 12 weeks with Microsoft, I guess I’m starting to love it. At least I learn to appreciate it and share it! *applause please* And I’m actually excited about the launch for Windows 8! *strange?!?*

First month spent in Microsoft Singapore was really an eye opening program for me as I get to know bunch of awesome interns from other Asia Pacific Region including Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, and also not forget my dear Malaysian interns! Have to say I love the diversity and richness of Culture. We were well blended I guess. And of course our mama, Anna (University Staffing Consultant for Asia Pacific Region) who picked us and provide us this great opportunity.

Many thanks and WE LOVE YOU ANNA! Thank you for taking care of us *muacks* Other than that, we also get the chance to meet many experienced leaders in Microsoft who has shared with us their insights and experience. Providing us a lot of advice for our future career. Mucho Gracias! Also, Universal Studio trip was FANTASTIC!
 
 
I've got to say I love this picture a lot !

After a month of training program in Microsoft Singapore, all the interns are back to their respective country to continue their internship. Guess what? Though we are apart, it has not affect our friendship! Thanks to Lync, Microsoft Roundtable…etc we are somehow CONNECTED! Calling and updating each other through calls, emails, and many other ways. You name it, we have it. *the power of Technology, you have to LOVE it!
 
Internship in Microsoft Malaysia has given us another “taste”. From getting to know our manager, department, the Leadership Team to other staffs in the company, it was totally a different dimension I would say. Despite all the crazy schedules and difficulties in trying to catch our target individuals for talk and discussion, I would say this is definitely one of my greatest achievement up to date being part of the Microsoft family as an Intern to MACH. Having the honor to attend the events that the company organized including COMPANY BUKA PUASA DINNER and Kickoff event, was our pleasure as an intern. I really do hope the internship could last longer so that I get to meet more awesome people.


Malaysia team ! from left: Kenneth, Karuna, Rina, Joanne, Me, Crystal & Jovian =)
*FYI, this is not a restaurant, its our Pantry! =)
 
 
By the way, a little secret to be reviewed after I’ve attended the team building games during KickOff event, they are actually a bunch of Awesome, Fun, Wild, Crazy, ROCK people. Excuse their serious and fierce look during work in the office. LOL!!! Now I know they work hard and play hard too.

I guess I’m being quite ‘long winded’ here, have to stop or else it’s gonna take forever for me to stop sharing here. Last word from me, I LOVE MY INTERNSHIP and Glad to meet a big bunch of Amazing people. YOU GUYS ROCK MY WORLD and coated my internship

Well, I guess this is the summary of my fantastic Internship journey. Stay tuned for my detailed internship blog post.

Till then, see ya !!!
Cheers,
Casandra, Intern to MACH :’’)

Heavy Heart

I really can't believe that i'm leaving in few hours time.
Farewell  UMS, Farewell Sabah,  Farewell  beautiful sunset, beautiful cultures ..... etc
Heavy heart of mine,
3 years has been passed so fast,
i still remembered the first day when i reached Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, i was saying to myself
"o dear.. how am i gonna survive in here for 3 freaking long years??"
Home sick was what i get during that time and all i wanted is to go back !
Yes i mean it.
But believe it or not, i actually feel kinda sad to leave this beautiful place.
'The land below the wind'
3 years is not a short period for me,
knowing that i have to spend 3 years here was the toughest choice i had ever made because i never left home. But studying here has widen up my eyes and i gained a lot of experience.
Sometimes you dont see it, but you will FEEL it.

So many things happened throughout these 3 years.
Be it good or bad,
its actually a good memories that i can treasure
Sorry to say that i'm not a good student,
meaning i dont really study all the time.

To me, i would love to try new things and gain more experience
therefore, i join a lot of activities during my 3 years in Uni
and i'll tell you proudly that i have made the right choices

Joining the English Debate Club has taught me how to analyse and speak
It was mentally torturing especially when you have to build your case
but i have to say i love it!
having the chance to join the debate tournament as Debaters as well as Adjudicators was a good experience for me.

Then i came across this non profit organization called, Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE)
basically its about how we empower the communities with skills and let them be independent on their own. I would say i love this and this is why i'm still with this organization.
"Once a SIFErs, Always a SIFErs"
i've learnt a lot... like a lot...
from communication skills to paper works and hands on brain cracking moment trying to figure out ways to solve the problems.
I'm so glad that i get the chance to attend 2 National Expositions and 2 World Cup which was in Los Angeles and Kuala Lumpur.
And i will always be there :")

At the same time, i have always been interested in the broadcasting field but i ended up studying business. LOL...
but i am very lucky that i've been chosen as one of the Radio Presenters (DJ) for our own campus radio station KKFM which can be heard across the city.
So this is how i get to learn one more skills
and i have to say i really love it.
i just feel i'm in my own world when i'm in the studio.
it gives me a lot of satisfaction

so basically these are some of the main highlights of my University life.
actually there are more but it will take me days to blog about it.

of course not forgetting all the lecturers, friends, and people i meet here.
they are the colors of my life.

And now that i'm gonna leave University soon... ( few hours time)
that means my University life will end soon
and i'm going to another chapter of my life

First of it - INTERN
well, i was so lucky!
i'm sure its luck
that i was chosen as one of the six candidates in Malaysia to join
the Microsoft Interns program
now that i'm leaving KK
and i'll be heading to Singapore soon for few weeks of training
together with other candidates from Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam...etc
then back to Malaysia for my interns
well, i feel very honour and i shall work my A** off real hard
i hope i make my parents proud
because this is the only way i get to repay them.
Mommy and Daddy.. I LOVE YOU!
and i hope i can perform my best during this 3 months time.

well, i guess its time to stop before i go too far.
i just wish that everyone can do well
and HAPPY HOLIDAY
helll ya!! feel so relief after the brain wracking exam weeks.

All the best mates!
we shall meet during CONVO in October
i'll miss all of you !
and of course the  SUNSET
how can i forget it,
its like one of the main highlight of my life in KK
just call me a SUNSET FREAKS  =)

take care!

till then, see ya!
