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...

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.

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...

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...
