[ BFM 89.9 is my new best friend ]

Last weekend was part one of Finishing School, a programme UiTM made compulsory for us final year students. I thought to myself, it'll be those broing teamwork modules that we all have painfully went through the past 3 years plus. Amazingly, it wasn't.

Saturday, the beginning of it all, held talks from 4 speakers who opened up my mind to a different perspective. They made all those monotonous and yes-i-know-that-already topics seem fresh. The topics were: (I can't remember exactly what they were)
  1. Write to Impress: Resume by HR Manager, E&Y
  2. Interview: Make an impact by Ms Salika, PWC
  3. Etiquette and Professional Attitudes by Ms Intan, Profound Learning Services
  4. Personal Branding by Ms Shahfizal, Profound Learning Services

I found Ms Intan (the third) was the most awesome-est-est-est out of all! She even brought her 14 year old to the auditorium! It was an eye-opener (especially for those yang mengantuk,yes, you Qila haha)

Sunday, it was a tad short, half a day shorter to be exact AND the best part is........out of 200 students only 100 (I think LESS!) came!!! Hahahaa! Events were:

  1. Win an Interview with your CV by Mr Wai, Deloitte
  2. Personal Grooming by Pn Azah, UiC

All the talks drilled this fact into my brain:

YOU'LL BE OUT THERE IN THE CORPORATE JUNGLE SOON

BUCK UP

And oh boy it did. Before this my weekday mornings in the car would be this equation:

1 hour in car to uitm: 70% Hitz fm + 25% Fly fm + 5% Mix fm

NOW

1 hour in car to uitm: 70% BFM + 18% Hitz fm + 12% Fly fm.

Whhhaaat thee effeee! I am speechless myself. 0.o

So my morning was spent listening to the stock market today, of the risks of venturing to the China and India markets, of Ananda Krishnan's Usaha Tegas Sdn Bhd to privatise Tanjong Capital, offering RM20.80 per share, etc. >>> Yeah I know, OMG. I actually remembered!
