Lately, there is one little angel in the office who flies from here to there to work extra hard to compensate for the work left by her fellow colleagues who are on leave or absent for some reason. She wouldn’t mind lending an extra hand, although it means working longer hours and staying in the office after everyone has left.

This walking angel in our office is extroverted, cheerful and highly sociable. An optimistic person, her bubbly and easy-to-make-friends personality has always filled up the office with laughter. Downright extroverted, she enjoys adventurous and extremely demanding outdoor activities even some guys might shrink from.

Speaking of this, does anyone know that she has conquered the great Mount Kinabalu in Sabah? Just like how she approaches all her favourite exciting outdoor activities, she is greatly independent when it concerns work. Not only that, she handles all the incoming complaints with professional grace and whenever she is asked to help, she always assists her team members wholeheartedly.

So who is this special lady and why are we describing her in such a great length here?

Well, well, well… As a company which truly appreciates and values hard work, responsibility and intense dedication, this lady is definitely worth mentioning! And because of all that wonderful attributes and selfless hard work she puts in, she is officially voted as our EOTM for May 2010!!!

Announcing our EOTM for May 2010, Miss Tan Chia Ying!!!

Reasons she was voted as our EOTM for May 2010:

• Handles the whole Customer Service Department when her fellow colleagues Sharon and Sau Hun were on leave
• Works independently
• Handles complaints and assist team members well
• Friendly and helpful
• Works overtime

Congratulations Chia Ying! We are proud of you not only because you have conquered Mount Kinabalu (which a lot of us haven’t got the chance/guts to do it yet), but also your self-sacrificing spirit at work!

Attention ALL! It’s durian season now, but instead of treating everyone to a delectable durian feast, we are treating YOU with our once-in-a-lifetime ‘Durian Runtuh’ price on .my domains!!!

You are never gonna believe it, .my domains are for sale from just RM10!!! For those of you who are non-Malay readers, ‘durians’ are the ‘King of Fruits’ in many Southeast Asian countries best known for its formidable thorn-covered husk and unique odour craved by many locals, and the word ‘runtuh’ means ‘fall’ as the verb in English.

As Mynic is running a 50% promotion, Exabytes as the top reseller of Mynic is now helping to spread the news with even greater discount. We are selling Mynic domain names below our cost price!!!

This time around, when the durians fall, our prices for .my domains are also falling! Unbelievable? Believe it!

Still, the question comes to our mind: What exactly are the attributes/good qualities which contribute to the winning of the tile EOTM? Work with zeal and dedication and wouldn’t mind at all to work beyond his/her shift hours to complete a task? CHECKED! In situations which he/she has not encountered before, he/she is able to initiate solutions to resolve the issue? CHECKED! Possesses an approachable and helpful attitude when working with others? CHECKED!

With all these much sought after attributes as well as his pleasant and delectable personality, it makes a shy person really stand out from the crowd! Without further ado, let’s put our hands together for Yazid, our EOTM for April 2010!!!

Congratulations Yazid! Although Yazid or fondly known as Zid among his buddies in ‘Brothers In Arms’ is shy and a bit introverted by nature, when duty calls, he does not shy away to resolve the issues at hand. And oops, have I mentioned that he also has a smile which can melt a girl’s heart?

Reasons he was voted as our EOTM for April 2010:

• Initiative to come up with solutions
• Willing to work beyond working hours to complete his tasks
• Innate (natural) ability to work with everyone

Again, congratulations Yazid, you make us proud!
