My Company - IBM Malaysia

Company : IBM Malaysia
Length of services : Approx. 3 years
Position : Accountant

Current Role : Business Control
Alternate Role : IBM Club President 2008

Joining IBM is one of the best decision I have ever made, despite the predominant status as one of the best I.T Company in the world, the company is known as the best place to groom talents.

Through my 3 years journey in IBM, I managed to build a strong network and establish my status in the company. One of the best moment in IBM is when I was elected as the IBM Club President this year. Event management is always on top of my agenda where ever I go, I don't fancy to work in a company that do not have any events for the employees. So, my job is to satisfy the whole population in IBM.

Of course, I can't omit my jobs by just doing club roles, as my boss have mentioned, you must be a performer in your roles in order to succeed in doing club roles. A lot of people have a problem in organising the time and their life, by taking the president role, I knew I have to work extra harder, not just to satisfy my boss, counterparts, collegues, but also the entire population in IBM.

Joining IBM is an eye opener to me, I was sent to Japan for job migration in my first month in IBM. I have received numerous awards, taking many president roles, excel in sports and also holding the club president roles. The experiences that I'd gained is invaluable, I believe with all the work that I'd gone through in IBM, I must admit that intelligence plus character is the ultimate goal that can push me further.

I hope the amazing journey will continue and help my dream comes true...

Xpert Eleven - Online Football Management Game

Story : Xpert Eleven

I remember when I'm still studying, I used to play championship manager and FIFA computer games. As a die-hard football fan, playing fantasy football can really test your knowledge, we were given a certain amount of money to buy the players you think can score most points for your team. I must admit now I have fallen in love with a game called "Xpert Eleven", an online football management game.

The rules are simple, you are managing fictitious players, rather than real players, as a manager, you are responsible to set tactics, train, purchase and sell players. It provide the basic of coaching knowledge, the game looks simple, but it's not easy to win all the game.

I started playing this online game ever since July 2007, where my friend started a private league, since then, the revolution begin. I managed to recruit Managers from IBM, starting a league called "IBM Premier League". Now, into the 4th season, it's getting very competitive.

My team Atalanta FC is the defending champion, I forsee a close fight this season. Meanwhile, the addiction became so real that I created another private league, this time, It's the Super HEROES League, most of the Managers are personal friends, colleagues and family members.

My team HIRO NAKAMURA FC is doing really well, got a bunch of talented youth, now into the 3rd season, I almost take the title last season if not lose to my brother, Shaun in the last match.

Despite of that, my girlfriend Eselle have 2 teams playing in the league. IBM Allstars are vying the honour in the prestigious IBM Premier League and Djungle People is playing in the Super HEROES League.

It's indeed an eye opener for me, football have been through a revolution, from pitch to online football management game. I always have a dream to managed a professional football team in the UK, football have been my heart and soul since I was 12. I'm a loyal football fan which supported Manchester United and Italy national team. Not just because they are winning, it's the teamwork and characters in the side really inspire me.

In real life, I love to play football or futsal, I always represent my school, college, university and now, playing for my company.

I cannot deny that most guys love football, it's the passion that unites the world. My girl Sheau Li have been very supportive, although I'll spend the weekend watching football, I can still find time for her. She even accompany to watch sometime, oh gosh, I'd fallen in love with her. I can assure that when she needs me for the weekend, I'm willing to sacrifice the time for her without football, she have converted as my heart and soul rather than football.
