First Time Work For New York, US Based Advertising Company @ Asia Jaya Experience

Today I woke up at 6.10am. Well, it seems like I have gone back to my olden day writing style as I often start with "Today I..." back in few year ago. Anyways, Today is really a special day for me because I had previously resigned the "eye" company and now joining another new company. Apparently it is quite coincidence that this company's parent company is also started with "i" (eye) alphabet but it is a US based company from New York. Although I had make a move early from home, it seems that the traffic is still jam around Batu Tiga area as below. (Guess I need to make a move earlier tomorrow)
Around 8.25am I arrived Asia Jaya LRT area and park my car at the nearby parking as it cost RM6 per entry as below.
I was feeling quite nervous while walking towards to the new company.

I arrived the office around 8.35am and saw my name is written on a card board placed in front the receptionist counter together with other new comer as below.
Well, I was quite impress as it shows a sign of acknowledgement that you're a part of the company although I haven confirm yet as there is 3 month probation period. After some moment, I get to know a new comer same like me but she work for the account department. Then I just got to know there is FREE different breakfast provided everyday at the office pantry everyday and I choose Nasi Lemak as my breakfast.
Besides, there is also a type of conventional drinks vending machine available there which looks exactly same like the "Magical Tarc Vending Machine" blog post I wrote 4 years ago. You can choose Milo, coffee, ice lemon tea, 100plus and etc for FREE without need to pay.

Frankly speaking, there is quite a number of girls in the pantry and I saw some girls is quite beautiful. While I waiting in the receptionist counter, I saw a familiar girl blogger working there. Anyways, I gathered in a room with other new comer with the HR manager. He brief us the rules and regulations, medical benefits and perks working in the company. Then we go to register ourselves with thumb because their system is verify by thumbprint instead of having an access card. Hence, I don't need to worry whether I will lost my access card like last time here unless someone cut out my thumb right? After that, we get our own laptop from the IT department and the social media manager have a new Macbook pro as he need it for presentation while I just take a normal HP laptop. Next, I just realized I was placed on another department that focus on online advertising and take the lift lower down one floor.

I get to know new people and the team is around 12+ people. The morning I was setting up my PC and login stuff. During the afternoon, we went to "tapao" (take away) food at the nearby stall back to office because the weather seems to be raining soon. It cost RM7 for this "chap fan" (economy rice) and the food price around there cost average RM5~RM10 depend on what food you order.
During the evening, my supervisor / manager shared some FB marketing and tested my current knowledge to understand where I can fit in to work. I gain the access to most of the famous social media account that you see online and just feel like everything is related in someway. Programmatic advertising is the current trends now. Next, I read on the small little book about company culture and it is truly creative with "CLICK" culture. The working environment seems to be quite relax which probably because it is my first day right?

There is pool table around where you can play it just like those Google company culture. However, it is still based on Key Performance Index (KPI) to measure your value that you can contribute back to the company. On the other hand, I heard a senior shared that actually most of the colleague work until 7pm instead of 5.30pm. Hence, I asked my supervisor permission to back around 6.30pm instead of 5.30pm stated at the offer letter. Perhaps it is true that when you're doing something that you're passionate with, time doesn't really matter right? Anyways, the traffic was jammed all the way from Asia Jaya to Klang and I took the NKVE route back home. Finally I arrived home around 8.40pm and have noodles as my dinner prepared by mother.
After that, I spend one hour to reflect and review what is the different on working previous company and current US based company.

I realized it is important to have a team that have some topic to talk about. For instance, I was "alone" doing FB ads and sometime people often thought that I was "playing" Facebook when I open FB at previous company. Now, I can open FB because it is really my job now and seriously I just realized people willing to spend so much money to advertise on social media channel. Anyways, I just hope to learn more in this new company as I am starting with a junior position again from the bottom that focus more on performance in excel spreadsheet. Furthermore, I realized that I spend about RM2,70 toll fee for a single way to Asia Jaya from Klang and seems not really worth if count the petrol in. The total spending on today go and back would be at least RM20 (RM2.70 go + RM6 parking + RM2.70 back + RM10 petrol for 30 KM journey) In addition, I think I have fulfilled my personal goal to join a big MNC company one day with my degree qualification and I have achieved it today.

As I grown older, I just feel that for every second lost of my time, the feeling is same like losing $$ every second. Somehow I do recall the yesterday cash flow game after BMW review that I will run out from rat race at the age of 65, achieve my dream at age of 69 while having RM50,000 passive income at the of of 73 as below.
I believe every guy wish to look good especially during their young age instead of old age right? For instance, I wish I can buy a BMW 5 Series at the age of 30 and not at the age of 60 year old. At last, I just hope tomorrow will be better as I am learning from one of the Big 4 MNC company. Stay positive!
