Goodbye Reapfield Shah Alam.



Berbulan juga I berfikir untuk tukar pejabat sejak berpindah Sepang. I mahukan agency yang berdekatan dengan sebab nak melepak dan ambil aura. I sebenarnya pergi pejabat lebih kepada bernetworking, chatting dan ambil tahu berita terkini.   Kerja I is on the road. Cari property for sale is not static in comfort of office or home. 

Jarak 56km perlahan-lahan menjadi beban buat I untuk berulang. Apatah lagi terdapat beberapa kekecewaan beberapa viewing selepas Hari Raya buatkan semangat semakin lemah. Listings dikawasan berhampiran tempat tinggal semakin banyak maka perasaan untuk ke Shah Alam semakin pudar. 

Apabila sudah bulat isi hati untuk berhenti, I perasan satu masalah. I tak tahu cara bertukar agency!  I called bekas Sr. REN Reapfield prosedur bertukar agency. Nampak tak, betapa ignorance sampaikan cara berhenti kerja pun tak tau. Dia nasihatkan I cari agency dulu. Jumpa dan bincang terms sampai puas hati. Bila sudah dapat, baru berhenti dan serahkan semula tag REN.  

Itu yang saya buat. Saya bertanya rakan disini dan diberitahu terdapat agency yang tidak jauh dari rumah saya. Lebih kurang 25 minit sahaja. Happy juga. Saya call dan set appointment. Berjumpa dengan Agency Manager, bincang lebih kurang dan I pulang dengan girang. 

Jauh sudut hati I rasa sedih untuk meniggalkan Reapfield Shah Alam. Agency pertama yang membimbing dan membentuk I hingga ke hari ini. But I have made my decision and I pray it is for the best. 

26.07.2017 was my last day there.

I am glad that I started my career there for it has created a foundation in me and I am proud to tell people that I started with Reapfield Properties Shah Alam, under guidance Pn. Nora Kamarudin.

Malasnya nak layan.

Bukan apa, soalan mereka generik sangat. Kita sudah kenali soalan daripada mereka yang kemahuan lebih daripada kemampuan. Memang nampak seperti saya stereotype-kan orang yang bertanya namun itulah realitinya.

Soal. Tanya. Selidik. Diam. 

selang seminggu.

Call agent lain.

How To Host Volunteer

How it all started?
The husband and I have a new business in Kg. Giching, Salak Tinggi, Sepang, Selangor. His family land was converted into an event space. We rent out zone out the area into camping area, event venue, homestay mixed with agriculture.  

We call our new venture as PUDGi (pronounce pad-ji). After PUDGi has established its goals and visions, we decided to invite volunteer from overseas due to:

1. To receive ideas from travelers as most of them are.
2. To promote our place thru them
3. Cost factor

Where we get our volunteer.
We register our company with www.workaway.info  adn after putting our info we started to receive e-mails inquiring about volunteering at our place. It was easy and fast. 

How do we check them?
We asked for profile and their social media profile like facebook, blog or instagram. We only take who we felt comfortable with. 

Gender
I prefer girl because I'm here most of time. Easy communication and easy for me to jaga aurat. 

Duration
We normally leave it to them. Longest is two months and shortest is a week. Sometime we are just a stop in between travelling or last stop before going home. 

What we provide?
Volunteering is an exchange for roof (some plus food) and job. For PUDGi, we need extra hand to man our Kedai Buku and also our garden. From time to time we need someone to help us when there is event like camping, family day, sport day etc. This is when we call them. 

What they do?
Whatever we asked them to basically. We don't have fix working hour however the website stated that volunteers only work for five hours a day. Sometimes they work longer hour or sometimes none at all. We received one review saying we did not provide enough job. 

Will PUDGi continue having volunteer?
Yes, we will. Not only it is cheap to have them, but I enjoy the cultural learning experience. I would never thought to meet Romanian! They are not dracula. I never knew German are funny or a down to earth French girl. This experience I will never had if we did not open our door to these people. 

Last tips, always be open. Discuss what you have and do not over promise. Keep an open mind and enjoy the conversations.

Cheers!

Cindy on 1st Hari Raya.
