Second Interview - Nuffnang's Blogger Liaison

Okay, moving on to the second interview last Tuesday. This time, I have to get going to Heritage House, just right behind Sheraton Hotel. I don't remember the street name but Nuffnang was helpful in giving the direction. Take monorail to Medan Tuanku and look for a building right behind the Sheraton.

As I finished my interview that morning around 10.45am (pretty long for a casual interview) I straight away took a cab to Serdang KTM Station. Not bad eh for a country boy like me to know my way to KL Sentral, hehehe. Since it was still early I went to look for Heritage Building, which houses Nuffnang. It took quite a while from KL Sentral Monorail station to Medan Tuanku, but once I reached the station, I asked this pakcik where's Sheraton Hotel. Was a bit embarrassed because that hotel stood up just right in front of me =P So, I found the place. Eh, not that far from the monorail station, so convenient. Unlike the first place I went that morning. Need a car (since I don't have motorcycle license) or stay in one of those housing areas nearby.

After checking out the place, I just on the spot decided to go to Low Yat Plaza. Hahaha, for fun. If girls go window shopping on bags and clothes, or jeweleries for some, I find comfort, joy (and a bit of frustration =P) seeing all those laptops, smart phones, game consoles, and PCs. Shall leave it there. Won't talk more about it. T___T

So, after Zuhur, I quickly rushed back to Medan Tuanku. By the time I was there in front of Nuffnang office, I realised something. Those people working in this kind of industry, "where young and creative minds gather" they don't wear something so, skema no? I began to feel a bit nervous. What if they think I'm an uptight person, no fun person. OMG OMG OMG.

Now that I think about it, I wish I have someone there to slap me hard so that I would snap back. LOL

So, I pressed the bell.

No one came.

Pressed again.

The door was still shut closed. Not opened.

Then, I pressed it hard, I heard the bell. Oh, I didn't press it hard enough rupanya.. =P

Came these two ladies welcoming me, but looking rather shocked/surprised seeing a guy wearing all smart, with necktie some more. When I stepped into the office, I didn't see any guy wearing the same thing like I did! I collapsed there straight away. Naah, just kidding. Actually at a glimpse got this guy, who was chairing a meeting at the left side of the office with some other people, I think he was wearing long sleeve shirts and necktie too. But he looked way better than me. So, I collapsed again this time my mouth foaming. Naah, jks. =P

So, again on the same day, I was shown to a room, and asked to wait. Then came in Robb Chew, the head of the Blogger Relations department. He gave me his name card, and at that point what he did reminded me of what Japanese always do when they meet new people - give name cards. Dozo, dozo. =P

Anyway, I don't know why, can't explain it, but must be my unpreparedness that got me all stuttered answering Robb's question, what do you know about Nuffnang. Man, everyone knows Nuffnang is a blog advertising community but I just couldn't say it that simple. I went that corner, then stopped, aaaaaa.. then went to another corner, then aaaaa... If there was one thing that got him wow at me, it must be that time he asked me how I managed to play all three sports in one week.  =___="

Anyway, all is well. We did talk about bloggers who blog for the sake of money only, about how some people just recently pick up blogging once they read Kosmo!'s article on Nuffnang. Robb said he finds such people irritating because they don't understand what Nuffnang really does.

In short, rather than having the advertisers go for blogs with high traffics only, say, more than 2000UV per day, Nuffnang gets a bulk of ads from its clients, and allocates it accordingly to bloggers in the Nuffnang community. So everyone stands a chance in Nuffnang. But of course those with higher UVs can earn more. And Robb says blogging should be for fun, and earning money from blogging should be a reward, not a primary objective. I just nodded. =P

Before I left, Robb said if I get hired or shortlisted for the second interview, I will get a reply this coming Friday. But meh, I don't think I will get called up. Good experience nevertheless. =P

hehehehe

ps: Because I left my phone at my cousin's place that morning, I couldn't snap any picture. I did take a photo using his phone but the photo was so blurry, not clear at all. =/
pps: Takziah kepada keluarga mangsa-mangsa kemalangan jalan raya di Melaka malam semalam.

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de

Hang Tuah The Animation?

Woah, woah! Read this at beautifulnara about a three way agreements signed by Japanese anime studio Gonzo (Blood: The Last Vampire), Malaysian animation studio Funcel and Malaysia's National Film Development Corporation to produce Hang Tuah the animation! The protagonists....maybe? The antagonists...look so.. It sounds cool to me at first but I am being a bit skeptic about having non Malaysians to make an anime out of this legendary warriors, Hang Tuah and his friends. What more, I wonder are the voice actors gonna be Japanese too? I remember watching Silat Lagenda. That was awesome for our technology that time. But I think I shouldn't be all negative about Gonzo studio animating Hang Tuah because it's a collaboration....I think? Well, you guys can read more here and here . hehehehe
