Story of Poco & Coco

I saw 2 turtles abandoned inside a filthy cage at my building lobby for consecutive 2 days.
Took them in, wash and feed them.
Both of them are red-eared slider or red-eared terrapin (Trachemys scripta elegans) is a semiaquatic turtle belonging to the family Emydidae. (I think based on the red-eared)
I bought a new tank and ordered a few extra stuff in Shopee.
Kinda test and fail on the water filter and turtle tank.

However, unfortunate incident happened and Coco have left us.

How I Got into Salesforce

This article has been sitting in my drafts for some time.
I believe it was the first draft I ever wrote, but for some reason I’ve never published it.

How did I get involved in Salesforce

Short answer: my new job in Dell Technologies.

Long answer: I have been Software Engineer (And even become Team Lead) for sometimes and mainly using C# programming language for development. It is a good job, not overly hard and its easy to see what you have accomplished at the end of the day.

Then, I have been recruited by Talent Acquisition from Dell Technologies in LinkedIn. Long story short, I go for the interview and getting hired for the Senior Software Engineer.

During the interview, I being informed about Salesforce and the Apex class that being used in Salesforce is similar to C# language.
I instantly Googled Salesforce, created a Trailhead account, and became fixated on finding solutions to every Salesforce-related issue I had ever come across.
I became aware of how much fun I was having combining my two passions for technology and business to find solutions.

As a result, I decided to study everything I could about Salesforce.

This led me to learn as much as I could about Salesforce and I am now Salesforce Certified Associate. Now I spend as much time as I can studying Salesforce, working on certificates, building solutions in my dev org and documenting what I have learned.

Dell Technologies’ Awesome Employee Benefits!

I stumbled 1 blog about Digi Telco company benefit for the employee. (I unable to find back the link)
As one of the multinational technology company employee myself, I would like to write some of the benefit working in Dell Technologies. (Today also my 1-year work anniversary at Dell Technologies)

Benefit 1: Working environment

Dell Cyberjaya

Basically, I work in Dell Cyberjaya and have the luxury of remote work.
Dell Cyberjaya compound was big and very spacious.
Inside there is cafeteria, gaming room, gym and personally, I love the workstation.
The workstation come with height-adjustable table, dual monitor setup with keyboard and mouse (Basically I just bring my laptop, don’t even need to bring power adapter).

Benefit 2: Insurance and Medical coverage

Dell AIA Employee benefit

This benefit I believe most of the company will provide.
However, Dell employee provide extra with medical card, flexible benefit and for those with family, it also cover spouse and kids plus higher claimable amount.

Benefit 3: Extra Public Holiday & Annual leaves

If public holiday fall on Saturday & Sunday, there will be replacement on Monday.
Regarding Annual leaves, it depend on the job grade level and year of service which can go up to 20 / 25 days per calendar year.


Benefit 4: Performance Bonus

13th month salary and annual performance bonus.

Benefit 5: Free Learning Courses

Dell Digital Udemy

Company provide a lot of training and free online courses for the employee.
Such as Udemy and LinkedIn Leaning. (All this is paid courses, however Dell provide a business account for the employee to access the courses for free)

Beside all of this, there are few more benefit such as flexible working hours, Free FoodPanda PandaPro subscription, freebies, goodies & a lot of exciting event held virtually and on-site.
The flexible working hours that allows me to arrange my own time to complete the task on time and supports & advices from colleagues that are always available to guide and assist me when I face obstacles in my tasks.
The working environment is friendly and I am free to voice out my problems openly to my colleagues or management.

However, the policy issue still there as you can seen below.

Please bear in mind that all my content are original with my face, outlook and my signature on it.
However, Facebook deem all this as not original. 😭
Hence, I am giving up Facebook as one of the platform to earn extra money.

atome

atome About Us Website

Few weeks back, I bought Manchester United 22/23 Home Kit from Al-Ikhsan Sports using Atome.

atome is a BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) application that is available I think at the moment only in Malaysia.
There was quite a lot of places support this application either online or physical stores.

You can choose the repayment period of minimum 3 months to 6 or 12-months payment plan. (The minimum payment amount is RM 10)
However, you could proceed with early settlement after 2 weeks after 1st payment.

As usual, only buy what you can afford.
Shopping can be fun and responsible when you buy only what you need and can afford to pay back.

Nike Go FlyEase

Nike Go FlyEase Shoes

Nike has been subtly revolutionizing the way we wear shoes.

I believe this shoes is not available in physical stores in Malaysia.
I search in Sunway and KLCC branch but yet to find it.
So, I order it thru Nike website.
It take less than 1 week to reach. (I ordered it on 28th August and reach 1st September)

Nike Go FlyEase Shoes

Here comes Nike GO FlyEase.
First unveiled in February, this is really very convenient (which is why I bought this in the 1st place) due to there isn’t a need to tie any laces because they include a hinge that allows them to bend in half.
Simply stepping inside the shoes causes them to enclose your feet.
You stand on the heel of your foot and raise your foot out to remove them.

Nike Go FlyEase Shoes

The FlyEase mechanism on the Go FlyEase has amazed me.
It performs admirably.
I found it to be simple and put them on without any difficulty the first time.

Manchester United 2022-2023 Home Kit

Me wearing Manchester United 22/23 Home Jersey

I just bought Manchester United’s new 2022-2023 home kit from Al-Ikhsan Sports.
It is made by Adidas and will be worn in the Premier League 2022 – 2023 campaign.

The front of Manchester United 22/23 Home Jersey

To explore the design of the kit further, Inigo Turner, Design Director at Adidas said:
The polo collar is synonymous with Manchester United. Turned up or folded down, it has played a starring role in many of the club’s biggest moments. With such a rich history, we wanted to pay homage to some of the club’s most legendary kits and players.

Collar and 3 stripes

The Adidas Manchester United 2022-2023 home kit combines a rather dark red main color with a white Adidas logo and black Three Stripes.

The “triangle” design can be seen on the collar

What makes the kit special is the Polo collar. The white collar comes with a 1994-inspired triangular design.

Manchester United logo with sheild

The Manchester United 22-23 home kit features a shield on which the Manchester United logo is placed.
The shield has a pentagon shape with a slightly darker tone of red than the rest of the shirt and outlined by a thin border to separate the shape.

A shield for the crest is nothing new for Manchester United
