MBA Course - Worth It Or Not?

After conducted a few survey about MBA course, I found that quite a great number of Malaysian do not agree that MBA can guarantee career success. Many said that the value of it is exaggerated.

I have few friends who graduated oversea and comes back to Malaysia to work and deserves the low pay. I can see that almost 50% of them rather prefer get posted to other countries like Singapore to work in MNCs. This is because they will be more appreciated and paid based on their qualifications.

However, most companies will pay more for a person who is ambitious, and a proven track record of performance or learning. I believe that if you’re young with MBA paired with reasonable work experiences, solid education and good communication skills then it’s extremely convincing proof of a potential performer.

My Blog Traffic Increased !!!

Most of the blogger also have an interest in increasing their web site or blog traffics. In this article I am going to show you my blog traffic using Google Analytics. Increasing traffic to your web site or blog is probably the most toughest part to achieve. Building a web site or blog indeed has its own challenges; however, what normally people achieve is that they can build a very nice site but fail to get traffic to it.

Last time when I just started blogging, I also encountered a lot of issue and sometimes fall into ‘blogging sick’ as lacking of idea ‘what to blog’ next. Besides, I also suffer a lot when doing Internet marketing for my personal blog. But now these kind of serious problems no longer exist and I feel so happy with my daily result, somemore I can predict how my traffics is going to boost in near future.

I tend to narrow my traffic results in 1 month which is 30 days period.

Where are my insights?

The US dollar was one of the strongest currencies in the market with millions of people using them but however, they are now losing against Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore and etc.

Based on my personal analysis, the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) against the US Dollar is at its strongest in the beginning of April if compared with the previous months with it reaching MYR 3.21.

High Income Earner Financial Management

Last time, my ex-employer manager told me that his friend can earn RM20k salary per month. But, do you feel that he can save lot money from his income? Based on his situation, after deducting tax and EPF, he gets only RM12k++ per month, and he mention that his living cost is quite high as he owns a Honda Accord and a RM600k home in KL. He likes to play golf as well and all in all expenses about RM11k per month. Thus, he manages to save only less than RM1k per month for a rainy day. Do you think he is good in financial management?

In my opinion, if the job that a person is doing now is for his/her passion, then it’s fine. With RM 20k income per month, monthly EPF should be around RM 4,600 (RM2,200 + RM2,400) and around RM 55,200 per year. After retired, the EPF amount probably will be around RM 1 million. Probably that is the reason he/she saves only RM 1k per month.

Station One Café Christmas Promotion 2009

Just know that Station One Cafe is having promotion for Christmas set meal on 24th & 25th December. I am sure this promotion made Station One Cafe full of lovers during Christmas day. So it’s better you go earlier so that you can get the Free Bear on that day to avoid the stock last. I never dine in Station 1 Café before but now this promotion is really great for me to consider.

As I known, this Station 1 Café served western food, fusion food, local food, snacks, dessert, beverages and beer. From my friend’s experience, he said that he couldn’t believe that it was a great place to hang out and it’s even better than Halo Cafe! For your information, they have live singing performance at the café where singers were performing mostly slow and popular songs from English to Mandarin.

New Perodua MPV Car: Perodua Alza

The competition between Proton and Perodua is never ending. Recently, quite a lot of forumers actively discussed about the upcoming Perodua MPV - Perodua Alza and some of them make comparison between new Perodua MPV and Proton Exora. As I known, Perodua always make sure that they are not left behind. Some more, we can see that they’re intending to venture into a different market segment and compete head to head with Proton. Nothing much we can compare now, let us see the exterior and interior of Perodua MPV:

Based on the picture shown, I guess this new Perodua MPV could be sized something between the Toyota Avanza and the Grand Livina and be priced near the RM55-70k level.

Based on the overview of the Perodua MPV interior, we can see that the interior looks spacious enough. I think it can fit 7 passengers in comfort. Read More …
