SKALI SPIKE UP PROGRAMME

Assalamualaikom w.b.t and Greetings,

Well guy an girls, we are in the edge of our last month to work at SKALI as Young Skalian under Spike Up or SPARK programs. I felt time was run out fast and until now i am still not enough to get a full knowledge here.

Its almost 5 month and i am not sure either to continue the contract or just to find another company. I like and love to be Skalian here, lots of friend and great environment too. Just i don't like several political stuff that feel he or she is better and other are always lazy and doing mistakes.

For next batch, you are welcome here. This post i just want to write in Malay Language from this point.

Kepada kekawan seperjuangan semua, terima kasih di atas sokongan, kemesraan dan tunjuk ajar yang bermakna untuk saya.

Kepada bakal-bakal Spiker atau Skali Muda, tahniah sekiranya anda terpilih untuk menyertai program ini. Di sini ada banyak gudang ilmu yang berguna untuk anda.

Biasanya anda akan ditempat di Plaza Sentul atau Menara Sentul Jalan Sentul Pasar Kuala Lumpur. Ada juga yang ditempatkan di IDC Serdang untuk menjaga server di sana.

Sekarang IDC Serdang dah berpindah ke Cyberjaya. Jadi kemungkinan anda akan ditempatkan disana. Ala, paling busuk pun di Plaza Sentul, ibu pejabat Alam Teknokrat Sdn Bhd (SKALI).

Suasana di Plaza Sentul?

Wow, masjid ada di sebelah. Ada pasar raya di tingkat bawah plaza dan rumah sewa yang banyak di sekitarnya sehingga ke Batu Caves. Kedai makan dengan harga berpatutan juga ada. Nasi dgn lauk dalam RM4.00 sehingga RM4.50. Berbaloi-baloi.

Bilik Pentri, surat khabar, bilik mandi dengan pemanas air, tandas yang cantik dan makmal komputer serba lengkap.

Apa yang anda dapat nanti?

Setiap spiker atau young Skalian akan mendapat satu set komputer peribadi (PC) untuk kegunaan kerja. Anda akan ada  ruang meja sendiri dan kerusi ofis yang cantik.

Yang Bagusnyer?

Ada ramai kawan dan staf-staf yang baik-baik belaka. Mereka juga ada sebahagiannya bekas SPIKER seperi En. Faiz bin Saari, En. Sariman, Cik Rajwant Kaur a/p Visan Singh, Cik Ruhaida Othman, En. Fadhil Omar, Chee Lee Chin (CK Tan), dan ramai lagi. Jadi sekiranya prestasi anda bagus anda mungkin akan diserap dalam SKALI.

Cisco Certified Network Associate Exam

Assalamualaikom w.b.t and Greetings,


Fuhh...

For last 2 week we has been trained for Cisco CCNA exam that will held on 3 December 2012 12 December 2012.

Its was my first time to take this International Exam Certification after our local Universities and Secondary school exams.

Means CCNA Cisco Certified Network Associate - Certification of IT professionals, which is published by Cisco Systems, Inc., one of the most successful IT companies. Cisco manufactures and markets a wide range of equipment for both companies and telecom operators. Cisco has a brief to San Francisco.

Tahapan dalam Peperiksaan CISCO

This time the exam is much much more related to our job field at SKALI as Network Admin under ITD track The exam cost is USD295 or about RM898 RM1020.



Cisco Certified Network Associate is an apprentice or foundation level (Cisco Certified Design Associate with) the three levels of certification are associated, Professional and Expert. Basically, there are CCNA certified professionals to install, configure and operate LAN, WAN and access to services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP Relay IGRP, Frame serial IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet and Access Lists. The certification is valid for three years, after which re-certified may apply.

At SKALI, every young skalian or what we call SPARK program participants can sit the exam under which track they had. The cost for each exam is around RM300 up to RM1200 something. Its what i'v heard from Miss Mutia.

My next mission to get Zend Certified Exam for PHP. I like to have this kind of exam for my future professional skills.

The bad thing about this exam is its just valid for 3 years only. Other track they have an exam that can be for whole life but CCNA is just for 3 years. Its mean i need to resit the exam for every 3 year for my whole life. The reason they doing like this to make sure every CCNA member have updated knowledge about latest technology they using for Internet Technology.

Exam Level Requirement

To maintain certification CCNA, candidates must pass two exams Cisco Certified Network Associate, or a combination of the introduction of technologies Cisco Networking Cisco Networking exam and review of interconnection devices. The main themes of the three tests in the design and planning, design and support the implementation and operation, troubleshooting and technology.

Ok...

Next post i will tell you what the best preparation to get it easy pass for your CCNA.

See yaa...

Assalamualaikom w.b.t and Greetings,

Its new technology better than traditional dedicated server. Its better than speed, performance, cost and data security.

Well, i want to learn how they operate those data center but not have any opportunity yet. Cloud server technology become must need nowdays. Amazon CDN is one of first company that introducing this kind of technology.

Assalamualaikom w.b.t and Greetings,



At Cradle, my intention is to get fund under pre-seed plan that entitled to get RM150K maximum. I've come up with my idea to build up a good portal but my weakness is i am lack in Business Plan part.

Its hard situation right now, i try to ask my friend either we need to continue this idea and present it to Cradle Panel or just make it as part time project and take lots of time to finish.

What is My Business Idea?

Its a concept of togather all what people most like into one. Everything just in one place, one thing and one monitoring.

Do we need more money to Invest?

Yes. For outsourcing the development and marketing.

What exactly your business idea?

Its secret right now. I will expose this details when i think its a good time to do that.

Thanks.

My Business After SKALI

Rm 5 million

Assalamualaikom w.b.t and Greetings,

As reality in this world, business is the best effort to get lots of money. This manner is fact and we need to wake up and take a business manner as our main stream income. Especially Malay or Bumiputra, we need to get out from myth that working with government or under other people is better and safely.

My experience is business can help us to obtain RM3K and upto RM100K just to sell foodstuff. An example is selling burger and roti canai.

One of Mamak restaurant owner told me he got RM120K nett per month just selling nasi minyak, roti canai, naan, capati and so on. His restaurant operating 24 hours non stop. He got lots of customer that really want to give him money.

One of my partner got RM30K per month just selling aye wear through Ebay. And another one got RM110K just in Ramadhan month for selling shirts, kuih raya and eyewear.

My father in law got RM60K in Tahun Baru Cina celebration day just selling fresh seafood at Pasar JB. Another of my wife uncle got RM12K at Halal Festival (HalFest) last week HalFest 2012 just in 4 days.

Its amazing right?

This revenue is what our Malaysian Chinese and Indian feel it right now. Doing a business. Earn RM3K upto more than RM100K per month. If you are under technology and industrial sector, you will get a huge of revenue up to billions.

I do an interview to burger owner, he got RM400 around just in one day gross. He told if your stall is at strategic area and your burger is delicious, you will get bigger amount than him.

So?

What i will do after last contract training at SKALI?

Be hired or hiring others...

EDP Group To Obtain Cradle Grant

Assalamualaikom w.b.t and Greetings, 


For Three weeks we has struggled to attending Cradle Grant Investment programs. There are about 13 of YS (Young Skalian under SKALI SPARK Programme). The flow of programs is by attending Talk Session on 11st October 2012, Application Clinic on 18th October 2012 and maybe on end of this October will be the interview session.

There are several YS that thinking to create their own business and hope be a selected to own the grant. Yesterday its was Application Clinic and i am went with my partner by motorcycle.

I hope this is my big opportunity but i am worry about idea hijack. Because to apply this we need to prepare the best and attractive reality of Business Modal Plan, Market research, Analysis and so on.

There are also CIP500 mean RM500K grant but i am not interested yet. My target is Pre-Seed or CIP-Catalyst that we can get maximum RM150K.

The application requirement is too strict and need lots of supported data from researches, analysis, surveys, beta tester, demands in sectors and so on. Its optional but its make our application more highlighted that others or simply we can be rejected.

Pre Seed Funding Grant

For people who have idea but have no product whatsoever nor any business plan in hand. This funding is for the pre seed stage where you will develop your product prototype and commercialize it. Therefore take note that this funding is primarily to:

develop your idea into a prototype product.

Once you have a prototype, it would be much easier to get financing to grow your business. Think of it like this,

you go to a bank and ask for loan, you have a working prototype, it would be easier to convince your panel to get the loan!

This is a conditional grant. That means you don’t have to pay back except if you do not meet the conditions agreed between you and CIP, you would be liable to pay back. (example: failure to implement the agreed milestones)

The maximum amount is RM150,000. However, it is delivered in tranches (sections) which means for tranche 1 the maximum amount is RM50,000. If you qualify you can apply for tranche 2 and 3 which is worth RM50,000 each.

For Cradle Investment Programme or called CIP focuses on many areas for pre-seed funding. If your business idea is related to the industry below, you are on track for the funding:

• Software and information services
• Internet: e-content, e-commerce & e-content
• Communication and networking: mobile data
• High-tech consumer and business products
• Electronic and semi conductors
• Medical devices and advanced materials
• Biotechnology and life sciences
• Environmental resources management and renewable energy
• Technology innovation created for any industry

Eligibility criteria is as below:

• Malaysians and aged 18 above
• Minimum 2 applicants to maximum 5 applicants

What are the allowable expenses (these are the only expenses allowed, no such thing where you get RM50,000 in cash, the funds are utilized only for the allowable expenses):

• Development of prototype
• Business Plan
• Purchase of market feasibility research
• IP search and registration
• Survey on statistical data
• Product sampling expenses

The product I mentioned above was CIP but there is also another product called U-CIP which focuses on research products created by university researchers to transform it into a prototype.

Today is Friday and i likely to wearing my Baju Melayu when going to work. Sincerely, i like this kind of environment of working place in mostly any Muslim Corporate that i was worked for.

Some corporate labelled Friday is where we wearing nice look comfortable style or called Casual Friday. Its not just our country doing it but its practiced by several Muslim corporate around the world.
