2 years at Clique

It was after the completion of CIMA, I was looking for a job on August 2010. I applied to few places and was unfortunate that I had no previous experience in a senior position or I didn’t have the certificate or maybe I had the wrong qualification as some seems not to know what it is.

Clique College Graduation 2012

I found out that many people prefer expatriates to work in the Accounting department especially as Accountants and senior even with the same experience with Maldivians. In the end they end up paying more than what they will have to pay for the Maldivians. I am sure there has to be reasons for this. It is a happy note that thought the situation is like that it is changing fast with number of Maldivians getting qualified in the field.

From my brother I got the opportunity to apply for a post of Business Development Manager at Clique College. I sent the CV and was called for an interview. I was interviewed by the Managing Director of Clique College and that was the start.

Trip to Singapre - the different picture

It was o one of my dream come true. I always wanted to travel around the world and learn different cultures and get more exposure. Until August 2012 I was only able to be in one country other than my own and that was Sri Lanka. 

It was an invitation from my brother who was in Singapore when he was coming back to Maldives from Australia. I was so happy about the invitation and accepted it as I had balance in my annual leave so it wouldn’t be very difficult for me to go. 

It was the longest journey on a flight as it took about 4.5 hours to reach Singapore. The Airport and the arrangements in the Airport made such a good one, I knew that what people talk about Singapore is really true. It was a fantastic Airport. 

My brother and his friend (Rafie) were there to receive me. When we reached home it was almost 10:30 in the night. I saw a different picture there. I felt like it was Hulhumale’ All I can see is flats and cars parked outside those apartment buildings. I was like “Is this Singapore?” and they explained me that as Singapore is a small country they have housing plans like that. 

Maafushi and the good people

The Producer and the Technical Team

I have being living in Male since 2002. Even though it has been 12 years since I came to Male’ I have not got much chance to go to nearby inhabitant islands. I have only being to K.Guraidhoo and K.Thulusdhoo that is also for Friday prayers on Heyboana trips organized by the Student Association of Clique College, WITS. The truth is I never planned or didn’t want to go for some odd reasons

Preparation Work

Things changed when Clique College Interns team went to Semi-Final and their task was based on a nearby island, Maafushi. Our students got a huge task where they needed pre- preparations. They requested me to go with them to help them in their preparation work. My seniors allowed me to go requesting for a strict supervision

Maafushi Village

We went on 11^th of April 2012 and as soon as we reached we started our work. Meeting the stakeholders was the most important part and we were able to go according to our plan. There were difficulties we faced as it was a new island to us. More over the island was hot and it was difficult to cope up in that environment

Boduberu Team

Our team’s had three plans to execute; one is the Maafushi Village, A website for Maafushi tourism business community and a training session for the people of Maafushi. The execution day was 14^th of April 2012 and everything went well on that day. Unfortunately or fortunately I had to take a part of the training session which is not my main area. Even though I was not very comfortable in taking the customer care part I took it to help our students and not to fail them in their execution. I believe it was not me who did the lecturing as I was never that boring. Anyway I still hope some of them got some knowledge out of my presentation and will use it in their daily work life.

Key to my heart...

You hold key to my heart

 Even when Sudha was in the island school, everyone’s gaze is at her. It is because she is beautiful. Her family is a rich in the island level. Single guys and the youth though that if they can get married to Sudha then their life will get settled. Even when all of them were after her, there was only one name in her heart “Ziyadh”

Even though nobody knows it’s going to be 3 years for their relationship. The day Sudha parents get to know that she is in a relationship is the day she has to leave the island. Especially a person like Ziyadh from a middle class will never be accepted. They both know it very well. No one knows that Sudha parents are just hiding the truth that they know about the relationship. Ziyadh and Sudha don’t know the plan they are planning behind the scene.

Sudha parents were ready to depart, when she came from her last day at school. She did not get a chance to say good bye to him. She had to leave with few of her belongings. The people who were spying on her every act thought that they were going on a trip. Sudha’s parents won deceiving other eyes.

Ziyadh got suspicious, when he failed to reach her through phone after several attempts. People said that they went on a trip but he knew that her parents got away with her when he could not reach her. The continuous attempt for four days just got one clue that she went to Airport with her parents. He got to know from a friend’s friend. She doesn’t know anything and got no time to inform him about anything. He trusts his love. The love Sudha has for him is known by Ziyadh much more than Sudha herself. So he knows that even if she gets a minor chance she will call him. As there is nothing he could do, he started spending the days waiting for the call.

End of the Silver jubilee of my life…

This would be my last day out here with age 25. I will be turning 26 tomorrow. Lets look at the silver jubilee of my life…

I was a bright kid and got to finish my O’level and A’level right on time. I was able to win a scholarship and finish CIMA on time.  I have got a very good job after my studies. I have earned  lot of good friends and as far as I know I have very few people who hate me.I have a loving family. what else you need in life? As far as now I am on my track with my life plan except one. That is my wedding. We planned to have it on 10.10.10 and I was not successful in achieving it. This is the reason I am not in a hurry with that part of the plan.

My next plan is to grow my own business, do Masters and find a senior post in Managerial Accounting area and get settled. Insha Allah I will be able to go ahead with the plan and live a happy life :P

I like to thank all the people who is in my life and who was in my life. Hope you guys can still count on me

I am 26 now haha...
