How to save up to RM50 a year by just saying "No, thank you"

Did I catch your attention? Yay~ I challenged myself two months ago to reduce the amount of plastic I was using. There are a few reasons why I decided to that. First its because I really like my government now and I appreciate how everyone within the cabinet is doing their best they could to save my country in spite of their limitations. I really want to save my country too but I am aware that I do not have enough money or power to make extreme changes for my country but I wanted to do something to at least help. I know what I am doing is like a tiny drop in the ocean but I remember I voted against the odds with everyone else and we made a huge impact on what we have today. A change. And I am very thankful that I did it. Okay back to plastic. So, my government decided to start a movement by first banning smoking in eateries and then after that another movement to discourage the use of single used plastic by imposing a 20 sen charge on plastics. In a way I am happy with the wa...

Happy Malaysia Day! and a little story of my election success story :)

I remember the first time I went to the polling station was in 2013. I remember I was still in secondary school and I felt so disappointed when I found out that the elections were not fair. Fast forward in 2018, I am legally eligible to vote but I was not really keen on doing that. I remember telling my parents that it is pointless to vote because it is not a fair election. So whatever you do is just sort of a ritual and my father told me "If you think like that and everyone else think the same way like you do, then everyone who is trying to change will never see it come true". We disagreed but at the end he drove me to the DAP office and I registered just to please him. It did not really bother me much until I saw the video of our now Finance Minister, Lim Guan Eng explain how he will not be using the DAP logo for this election. I watched the video and I felt really sad for him. As a Chinese in Malaysia, we all know that the rocket is all that we have for as long as I...

A Good Leader Vs. The Bad Leader

Substance over form.  You look at the bigger picture in all that you do. A good leader can make you feel accomplished even when the task assigned to you can be relatively minute in comparison to your leader. A good leader can teach you by helping you think in directions you don't expect to see. Good leader help you and make you less miserable in what you do. With very striking differences, a terrible leader can very easily make you feel miserable. That terrible leader can ruin you and put you in doubt all the time. You cannot feel any sense of accomplishment. Instead, every moment with the terrible leader feels like you are closer to death because instead of solving a problem together, you know you are to be blamed sooner or later. Almost like your hands are tied to your back, feeling completely helpless while someone slowly lowers you into a tub filled with water submerging you in it. It is suffocating. When you work with The Terrible Leader, you are constantly on surviva...

Colleges Have Been Telling You Lies

I took a step into the career fair today at Mid Valley Megamall. I took a stroll along all the companies that are open to hiring and watched how resumes are being tossed into a box like it was some raffles ticket. Literally it was a clear box with a bunch of papers. As a fresh graduate, that bunch of papers was our identity. It tells you who we are from the day we decided to commit 3-4 years in a university. That bunch of paper is the key to earning ourselves a living for a foreseeable 4-5 decades. That bunch of paper actually is the product of our passion and dreams in writing.  And they all landed in a box with many other papers. Let's take a step back to before we committed ourselves into a university where we have to pay to be educated. This is a big step for us as an individual as well as for our parents if we are accepted into a private university. Parents have to fork out thousands of whichever currency you use so that we can get into the university 'we li...

30 Days Left to Another Year of Long Distance

Hello... I am really happy at this moment now and I really want to put this down so I can read this again much later in life when I feel less happy. From May up till now, it almost felt unreal to have my boyfriend back. It felt as if our relationship was no longer in the internet. It was real again.. We got to hold hands, watch each other during meals and have small talks here and there. I miss him as soon as he drops me off at my front gate and I'd be waiting for him to return to his home to send me a text. I am really happy. Today, I feel as if things were sort of meant to be and I really want to keep it that way. I feel like I want to be dependent and grow old with this person. I really want today to be something I can return to much later in life. Today I feel loved. I feel that I am being taken cared of. I feel very special because his love was constant. No mixed signals. It was the same. All the happiest thing that happens has to somehow come to an end. Or in this...

What it Feels Like to Finally Meet Your Long Distance Boyfriend

Hello! I am so sorry I have not blogged any sooner. I have been living by the moment and enjoying every inch of this time I have with my boyfriend. I think I never really exactly talked about how different things will be once he is home. I know it is just three months but there is A LOT of adjustments to make. For example, him being away for a whole year has made me well adapted to my environment. I enjoy going to the gym, reading my book and all. Him being suddenly around and the sudden change in gym routine, caused a lot of changes. Of course, being a foodie away from Malaysia the land of FOOD has made him an even more aggressive foodie. I tag along and I love food too. I can't be tempted all the time, I will give in! Yea, that is one aspect of him being home but I think what I love the most is him being around me. Being able to finally give him a call and have him pick up. Having to be so close to him and getting to be in his arms feeling so loved is something really I would...

Why is Modern Day Dating Getting More and More Challenging?

I was out getting groceries with mum one day and we were just briefly talking about my boyfriend. The question of why my mom married my dad popped up. I just casually asked "Mum, why did you marry dad when at that point of time you had a whole life ahead of you?" I asked that because my mom once told me about her glory old days. She was part of the Girl Guide and had her own troop. Very well reputable and was representing for a lot occasions. She told me she got an offer to go over to London for training and to further venture into Girl Guiding. But because she married dad, dad wrote her letter to decline the offer as well as to quit the association. Potentially, she could have been someone great but she chose my dad. Now let me give you a brief introduction of my father. He grew up as a barber's son. The youngest but also the most challenged child in the family because he had many hobbies that my grandfather did not approve of like art and music. Now, my grandfather ...
