"I hate good byes"... this phrase is almost a cliche as we always hear these words among the people who have to go on separate ways.
I came to Malaysia never expecting that I will be meeting such wonderful people. It tears my heart as the days that we have to leave the company draws near. The FTP team made my first time stay in Malaysia a memorable one. The place is a diversed culture and the respect, camaraderie, friendship and the fun are some of the things that can never be replaced with any amount of money you see in your paycheck.
I will surely miss Nabilah greeting me in sametime (Magandang Umaga Maganda). I am sorry Yaso i can't punch daddy for you (hahaha.. we are indebted to him for trying to keep us). Zuhri, when we go karaoke i promise i sing the song for you (but you have to remember the song title). Kam, i should ask tips on how to get a high score in IELTS (but there is nothing i can do about me being deaf.. lol). I almost forgot lady gaga vs Justin Bieber. Sorry Jeya, i am not a Bieber fan i will help Yap kill Justin Bieber anytime. Cikin, i hope next time you don't iron your clothes while wearing it (just kidding). Izhal I know we will see you around (in shopping malls). Oh no! Asha has no one to say bye-bye to before she goes back home.. no one going back later that her (LOL). Faizul, i sure hope you didn't get any new blackberry models in your phone (no one is as good as us...lol).
Starting Monday, it is a new adjustment that i won't be able to see the smiling faces of Chris and Anis, the quiet ladies: Mira, Azimah and Wardah, Zahril's nice physique (i should go to the gym maybe to get a good physique as him), Daisy who was in panic during her training and Mommy Fatin.
And I should salute Adrian for being a good lead. I really appreciate all the things he is doing for the team and most specially having concern with their well-being.
Thank you to Sudershan for trying his best to keep us and gave us the opportunity to share our knowledge and experiences to the team and in turn gain new experiences and knowledge from the people we have worked and met in HSBC.
I really hate goodbyes as this is not good bye... Surely the bond of friendship we have made is strong so no good byes but until we meet again.....

Selamat Datang to Malaysia
My name is Zarah and this is my story.
I have been in the IT industry for more than a decade and in the course of my work, I have traveled far and wide. In those travel, I dealt with people of different race and culture, of different religion and beliefs, of different sizes and shapes. But there is one country that I took the risk of relocating to….. Malaysia.
Philippines is not far from Malaysia. In history, Malaysia and the Philippines are connected through the Sabah province as this used to be in the Philippine’s territory.
It is my first time in the Malaysia. My first time to come in contact with Muslims as close as I can possibly be. Philippines is dominated by Christian faith however, Muslim beliefs is not new as we have Muslim brothers and sisters in Mindanao which is near Sabah, Malaysia. With all the conflicts of the muslim and Christian faith in the Philippines, I came to think that it is hard to live in the country dominated by Muslim.
One day, an opportunity for me to come and live in Malaysia arrived. I fell in love with someone who is working in Kuching and for me to be near him, I have to find a job that could easily take me to where he is. At first I fear that I won’t survive but as I get to know the culture, I find myself falling in love with the place. The country is rich in culture. I gain a lot of muslim friends. I learned about their culture. And most of all, I learned that the key to a harmonious relationship is have respect for each other.
Selamat Datang to Malaysia…. now my second home.
