First we saw that food price multi-fold, now we allow bus fare to increase

RECAP
MIRI: There has been a multi-fold increase in prices of foodstuff and drinks in Sarawak after the fuel price increase two months ago. A random check showed that iced milo and iced lemon tea is now sold at RM2.30 a glass in some outlets compared to the previous price of RM1.50. The price of a bowl of wantan mee had also shot up. In some outlets, dry wanton mee is sold at RM4 compared to RM2.50 previously. A bowl of plain kolok mee is priced between RM2.50 to RM3 compared to RM1.70 before. A plate of economy rice (with two vegetables and one meat) now costs between RM4 and RM5. Only a handful of outlets are selling economy rice at RM3 to RM3.50, which is the old price. Prices of wet market products have also shot up. Pork costs RM15 per kg, an increase of RM3. Restaurants and high-class coffeeshops selling food with pork as its main ingredient have raised prices as well. A plate of char siew rice at a renowned coffeeshop near the city has increased from RM3.50 to RM5.

Government says yes to bus fare hike
PUTRAJAYA: The Government has agreed to increase stage and express bus fares but has not decided on the quantum. Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development Minister Datuk Noh Omar said the new fares would be announced before Hari Raya in October. Noh, however, shot down the Pan Malaysian Bus Operators Association’s appeal for a 100% fare increase, saying it would be a great burden on the public.

...memorandum from the association was accepted during the National Inflation Council meeting chaired by the Prime Minister on Monday...“We understand their financial problem because prices of diesel, tyre and engine oil have gone up a few times since 2005, while fares have not increased,” he told reporters after presenting excellence award to 68 ministry staff here yesterday...“They said some buses do not want to operate during the festive season because it is only full for a one-way journey such as Kuala Lumpur to Johor and returns with fewer passengers,” he said. Among ideas the Government was studying to help prevent bus companies from incurring losses, particularly when running services to rural areas, was to issue permits for them to transport school children and factory workers...

My View
The global has seen a decrease in fuel prices but our country are not dynamic enough to adjust the fuel price accrodingly. Is it because of the subsidy that make the government having hard time to re-count? I'm sure a group of think-tank should come up with a formula in a short time, right? One after another, our salary has seen little change since the last few years. I understand that prices go up each year. Everything is more expensive compare to my grandparents time. But their increase seem to be in sync with their standard of living and cost of living at that time. Now that I'm an adult, why am I feeling differently?

Although my salary has double since my first job in 2000, but my spending power is lesser than what I have 5 years ago. My saving...well, I can't save anymore. Few years back, I can saved $500-600 a month. Now, my piggy bank is empty. By 3rd week of the month, balance at ATM is $20+. 4th week, skip lunch, eat instant noodles or break for dinner. On the 28th of the month, received my salary. That weekend, buy month groceries before I ran out of cash and buy few DVDs for my monthly entertainment. Comes 1st week of a new month, pay bills, credit cards, loans, rental etc and ATM remain $300-400 for the remaining of 1st week and the rest of 3 weeks. The reason why I spend on DVD is because when I have no money, I stay at home and watch old the DVDs. Value for money. When I watch in cinema, I pay $9 for a movie but if I buy DVDs I can watch it again after few months later. It's also a good gethering with friends over some light snack and we watch DVDs together. cheap and rewarding.

I just received my arrears due to me in my July's paycheck. With that is I cleared all my credit cards. Yup! all. I'm damm angry with the BNM rule of abolishing the 20 days interest free period for card holders who don't settle all their payment. I personally think that credit card are not much different than cash or debit card, I refuse to give BNM the pleasure of getting interest out of me. Now, if I don't have enough cash, I don't buy shoes, clothes, facial, books, etc. In fact, I tell the promoters that economic is pretty bad and I don't have money. When they say I can pay by credit cards or installment, I told them I have to limit my credit card use because of no more 20 days free interest if I owe the bank. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who do the same. It can't be just me, right?

I even took the time on weekends to check what public bus goes to my place and where I can take one. So far I haven't found out the waiting time and traveling time. I bet it's not going to be on time (although I saw a notice board with time table of the buses). I bet the journey will be long due to the inifficient time table. I don't mind the many stops and jam. I can tolerate that because it's part of the journey. I took buses when I was in Melbourne, Sydney, Vancouver and Edmonton. There are all on time, some to the minutes and seconds. My wishful thinking that my country can be at par with them in the next 1-2 years.

Some Of My Furnitures

Some of the furnture I finally bought for my house. There's still more to go but I believe all the necessary items will be completed by end of August. After that, I can move in permanently. Hooray!!



After that, I don't have to trouble my friend whom I'm carpooling now. I felt guilty each time we are late to the office due to me. You see, my area is very jam and it took him at least 15 minutes to get in and out of there. Also, I don't have to tolerate with his temple when he's late.

Finally A Good Night Sleep After Great Massage

I was having body ache for the past few months and it became worse last month. I had to put some oilments on my whole back and hips before I can get some sleep at night. My body was full of 'wind' due to my working style. I face computer at least 9 hours a day in the office and sit at least 8 hours a day. Naturally, my muscles are all stress out and every inch of my body was aching to the max. I was reluctant to go for a traditional massage due to the economic situation at the moment. Money is hard to come by and with the inflation, what I earn now is not sufficient enough. I barely make it thought the month end so the 'wants' factor has to be postponed until economic gets better. Since January, I only spent on my 'needs'.

Yesterday, after receiving my salary, I decided to go for a traditional massage to clear the 'wind'. It costed $60 for an hour massage. Yup, it's expensive. That's the reason I don't go for my massage every month. People like me who face computer and sit at least 8 hours a day will absorb a lot of wind and electro-magnetic into our body. Ever had a static charge when you touch a door nob or your collegue? That's the result. It accumulates in your body and you ended up aching all over and having bad sleep nights. So, I went to the shop after work and the owner called the masseur. It was a small shop selling traditional beauty product and offer traditional treatments such as facial and massage. The massage service was sub-contract to a masseur. When the masseur arrived, we started my session. I later fround out her name was Ida.

I'm the type that can't exit wind on my own. So the masseur must be able to exit wind or else we'll both in pain later. I had so much wind in my body that each touch by Ida, she will burp. She burped all the way until we finihed our session. It felt like a frog singing for an hour. Her massage technique was different from the last masseur. She only massage the muscle points in my whole body. It wasn't that painful either. During the treatment, she told me she provide the service from her home at a cheaper price. $50 for 2 hours! Beat that. What else, I got her numbers and asked her where she lives. I was happy to hear that she lives near my office. Good, I can go for a monthly massage from next month onwards.

Last night, I slept like a dead pig. I think I dosed off by 9pm. When I woke up this morning, my eyes were puffy for the first time since a long time. I felt lighter and fresher too

Does Your Apartment Owner Ask For Rental Before End Of The Month?

Since I moved into a new place May, I find my main tenant will ask for rental before the time's up, before the due date - 30/31st of the month. The main tenant is a couple renting the apartment and sub-rent out 2 rooms. One is me and another to 2 working girls. Call me paranoid but I've been renting apartment for years and this is the first time I encounter such people. People who seems to chase for rental before the time's up. It's not even a delay. At first, I don't feel it but every month end I would receive sms like "pay rental on Thursday. TQ" or while I was cooking my instant noodles, the wife will asked me, "when you'll pay the rental?" I'm the kind of person who panic easily would immediately think, "have I forgot to pay my rental?" or "is it over 30th already already?" because my brain is a bit slower in processing data in panic state. Does anyone experience the similar owner like mine?

Well, I've decided that I will move out when I find a new room to rent at the apartment I stay. The good thing about my apartment is that it has a convenience store and normally tenants will post room for rent at the convenience store. Hopefully i will find something by next month so I can tell the couple I'm giving 1 month notice and I'm moving out. Hope luck is on my side.

Criminal Resort To Robbing Children's Home

What a world we live in. 3 Robbers robbed Rumah Kasih in SS3 in Petaling Jaya, leaving the children in fear and without mode of transport. What worse is that the robbers terrified the young girls with parang. One of the robbers put a parang at a 12-year-old's neck and demand money from the caretaker. What's valueable at an underprivileged girls home? Some of the children hid under their beds when they heard the commotion. In the end, they drove away the home's new van and the caretaker's thali.

Have our family institution fallen to such a low degree? Are we monitoring the incoming of immigrants and foreign workers? Is our system efficient enough to solve the crime? Do we have enough menpower to minimise the crime?

Somehow, I personally feel that we are too lenience when it comes to giving work visa or entry visa to foreigners. There are too many low skills or non-skill workers in our country. I believe with their education and family background, they are the highest group of robbers. Mostly robbers come from broken family, poor family, high school drop-outs or drug addicts. These group are really a pest to our country. Poor family won't remain poor forever if they are willing to help themselves. Giving execuses such as society don't help them is piece of crap. I don't get any help from anyone but I try my best in everything I do. If you don't have self movitation and drive, you can't acheive anything. Mostly, this group has major inferior complex issues. I'm not saying that all immigrants and foreign workers are criminal in the making. But due to majority of the snatch thieves, robbers are foreigners, I have little respect for them. I totally agreed with the large scale campaign to wipe out all illegal immigants from Sabah. Sabah and Labuan are at the worse stage already when it comes to illegal immigrants. I believe you also finf criminal on the run among them too. Governement doesn't has to be soft heart. Look at US and Australia, they are very strict with illegal immigrants. Malaysia should learn from them. I believe if we can kick out 50% of the ilegal immigrants and non-skilled foreign workers from our country, we will see a drop in snatch thieves and break-in cases. Someone we have to be cruel to save guard our home, our land.

F&N Creative Display

Last Friday I went to KLCC with my friend to meet up with our freelancer. At the same time we went for a bit of shopping. When I followed my friend out for a break, I saw a creative display next the KLCC entrance. It was make up of F&N canned drink. Various types of it...From the cans, it became a artwork of a happy family. Although it's not a new technique, but it was nicely done.

Project Petaling Street & Credit Card

Yesterday while I was surfing the net, I found out about this site and saw that many bloggers link their posting to this site. I read some of the blogs and it was interesting. Some of it I will definitely visit again. Many just like me, writing what's on their mind their daily encounters at work place, home, school etc.

Today I found out that my cheque for a freelance project has cleared. Hmmm...now I can clear my credit card. I disagreed witht he BNM ruling which obolished the 20 days interest free for credit card holders who didn't pay full amount. If I can pay full amount of my purchases, then I won't need a credit card, won't I? The word credit itself already spell it out. It's credit facilities that I want. Now that the 20 days interest free is taken off, there's less reason for people to own a credit card because the terms is no different than cash. If I have a comfortable life and enough money to spend, I won't be needing a credit card.

At the point when we are sufferring a CPI of 7.7% (which I believe it's actually much higher than reported banks are making money out of the poor souls like us, the PEOPLE. With average Malaysian owning at least 3 credit cards or more, it will become more of a burden to them with the BNM ruling. The 2nd finance minister said on the press and TV that he will try to discuss with BNM about this issue and would try to stop this ruling, but until today I haven't see any result or any update of the issue. Someone should remind the 2nd finance minister that the PEOPLE are still waiting for the outcome. At the mean time, I have stop using my credit cards, yup I have 3 credit cards, until I clear all the outstanding balance. It will be easier to said than done but I'm determine to clear at least 1 or 2 credit cards. This a start.

Fighting For Survival

Since the depart of my previous CEO, some of the creeps and the lazy bums are showing their tails and fangs again. These group of colleagues (can I still say colleagues even though I want nothing to do with them?) carried the title managers, executives but don't know their work or their field. Example, a Business Developement Manager no nuts about the job descriptions and the function. He just sit there from 8.30am, drinking his chinese tea and go home 5.30pm sharp. Then there's another one who's a marketing manager, who doesn't know much about marketing etc etc. There are a lot of this type of employees in my company. What to do, is a GLC company. You can only re-deploy them to another department but not terminate them 24 hours or with notice. Furthermore, they will no matter how difficult the situation will hold on to their post and their existance in this company.

Car Lost Incident

I joined lunch with my staff just now and found out about a funny incident that happened to one of my designers. Man and Yus normally walks home from work because they live nearby the office. One day, when going home time, Yus offered to send Man home. However, Yus said Man has to follow him back to his apartment and from there Yus can take his car and send Man. When they reached Yus's apartment carpark, he found out that his car is missing. Panicking, he apologise to Man and told him that his car was missing. Yus called his housemates and all of them said they didn't use the car and didn't know where the car. Beganning to worry, Yus asked the guard at the entrance. The guard didn't see anyone drive out Yus's car and he too was worried. Man felt sorry for Yus and offered to accompany him to the police station to make a report. He called one of the designers in the office to update him of the situation. That designer reply, "tell him no need. He left his car in the office..."

Hearing this, Man and the guard laugh their guts out at Yus's forgetfulness. Now I found someone who is as bad as me. I tend to miss up my appointment date.

Hunter X Hunter

Since I'm in the mood for anime today, this one is highly recommended. It's about a good nature boy, Gon Freecs, who lives on a small island learns that his father who he doesn't remember is an extremely famous man and an excellent hunter. Gon was rised by his aunt and decided to find his father at the age of 12. Gon takes the hunter exam to seek out his amazing father. During the first exam phase, he befriended with 3 other candidates, Kurapica, Leorio, and Killua. Gon and Killua became best friends when Killua found out that Gon doesn't judge his background and accepted him as who he is. The 4 friends learn that there is more to becoming a hunter. The test challenges their strength, ctreativity, focus, mind control and many more. The challenges they must face is beyond their imaginations. After 3 phases of exam, Gon and Killua motivate each other and learned to control their inner power more effectively. The episodes end when they enter Greed Island's competition. Greed Island is a reality game created by Gon's famous father and a few friends. Their journey in Greed Island will be in next season. There's suppose to be HunterXHunter Series 2. I hope I can find it in the market.

Hayate The Combat Butler

Last weekend I was watching a new anime. It's not new in the market but I started my anime collections late. I only bought the first season and I heard that there's a second season. I'll try to find it when I have finished this one. In total, there are 58 episodes. The story is about Hayate Ayasaki, a young boy who has to work since 5 years old to support his gambling parent's habit. When his parent ran away after owing a large sum of money to a loan shark, a rich, young girl, named Nagi saved him. In return Hayate became an accidental butler who serves Nagi Sanzenin who is an heiress with a yen for manga. In the Hayate no Gotoku (aka Hayate the Combat Butler) manga and animation series, Hayate finds himself involved in various escapades and adventures due to Nagi's tendency towards drama. Hayate has been trained since very young age to be familiar with a lot of situation and work. His skills come in handy when serving Nagi and handling her daily demands.

Company Policy

This afternoon our group IT deparment has activate the block again. With the block, there are many sites that I can't acccess during working hours. More like while I'm at the office. This took all the full away from working. I always believe that one should be given the freedom to browse to any url as long as one know how to seperate work and net surfing. With the block, I won't be able to access sites such as facebook, youtube, msn etc in the office. Sites that are deem personal relationship and games are not allow. I wonder how one can learn and update oneself of the current technology when many sites are block. Is this how China and Dubai control their people too?

How To Overcome Rising Cost Of Living?

On Tuesday, 15th July, there was a LIVE debate between Dtk Annuar Ibrahim and Dato Shabery Cheek about oil price. According to Annuar, he can reduce the current petrol price of RM2.70 per litre to RM2.20 per litre. A reduction of 50 cents. Of course both of them present the mombo jumbo thoughout the debate and the online version can be view in many sites. However, my topic here is not about discussing politic or my view on the debate. To me there's no benefit for me if I only hear all talk and no action. I will believe when I see result.

So how do I plan to overcome my financial burden in view of the rising cost of living? Not the mentioned I have to spend close to $200 each time I buy groceries for one person. In a few years back, I only spend less than $100 to stock up a whole month's groceries. Now, it is more important to flip though the newspaper to check what's on cheaper sales from hypermarket such as Giant, Cold Storage, Tesco and Carefour. Although I compare the prices, I only buy groceries at Giant, Cold storage and Isetan. All the non-perishable items I will buy at Giant and Cold Storage. However, for perishable items such as beef, onions, button mushroom, potatoes, garlic, fish, Japanese food and etc I will buy at Isetan. How, because in Isetan thses items are fresher and last longer. Example is onion. When I buy onions in Isetan, it stays fresh for 3-4 weeks. However in Giant, the onion on sales there are already near rotten. Besides that, it's difficult to select a good one out of a pile. No doubt the price in Giant is cheaper but I have to throw it away when I can't finish it on time. The one I bought from Isetan will not rotten easily and sometime lasted for few weeks. Therefore, when I buy groceries, I not only look for cheapest price but also freshness and long lasting. That's how I stretch my money these days.

Besides that, I do some freelance work to earn extra money. I'm partnering with my friend who's a great designer. He designs, I manage and service. I have been doing freelancing for many years but it has been on and off kind of thing. I have never taken it off due to planning and locality. Now that I have set up my study, I can concentrate on developing this business. It will be difficult because there are millions of people like me and it's a cut throat market. Some freelancers offer dirt cheap price that is just unreasonable and not even profitable. They probably took the job for some fast and easy cash. I tried that too when I was younger and it goes nowhere. In the end all the hours your put in turn to nothing because the cheap price you offer won't generate any income for rolling. I'm still at the planning stage because it's the most important part of the business. I prefer to get my foundation right and dynamic change according to market trend later.

Other than that, I'm selling the jewelly beads I made to friends and acquaintances. It's still slow but all business has to starts somewhere. I still haven't have time to upload my beads projects here. Main reason is because I'm still lazy in taking photos of the beads work and upload it. I'll see if I have the mood to do it this weekend. If not, we'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Instead of eating outside everyday, I resort to cooking at home. Altough cooking at home means instant noodles for dinner on weekdays. On weekend, I make sure I cook a 2proper meals. I stay near a hypermarket so I will buy the ingredient such as vegetable, chicken, taufoo fresh. I also started to learn some recipes from the cook books I have. I love to cook so I collect cook books and I use the rebate from credit cards to buy cook books. Everyone I know don't believe that I can cook or I like to cook. I can't blame them because I am a workaholic and queen control. Furthermore, I normally share my cooking with my sister and 2 other friends only. I plan to learn how to bake cakes, muffins and cookies. If it's any good, I plan to sell it. Of course I can't just sell it. My plan is to give it away as gifts to friends in first order or make. Then, the next order they will have to pay. I haven't decide on the price yet but I don't intend to charge a rocket for it. Everyone is having financial burden and the only way to get people to continue spending money is to charge a reasonable and affordable price.

Lastly, I started to take LRT and buses where possible. LRT is fine because I can still control my travel timing. Bus is when I have a lot of time to kill or the bus is already available when I arrive at the station. If not, I will use taxi. I hope taxi fares will not goes up. That will drastically impact my financial. Well, these are my ways to overcome the rising cost of living.

Another Interesting Craft

I just saw another interesting bead work from Craftbits. This a bling ring and in that page, there is an easy instruction accompany with photos of the bead making steps. I must upload my bead projects soon. Moreover, I better look for my craft box so I can jump start my craft passion again.

The Urge To Improve

Today I received a call from from new CEO, well more like the caretaker until we have a new CEO. My CEO called because he found out that one of our directories, Malaysia Tourist Pages has an minor graphic error. Finally, the call came to production seeking amendment. I can still recalled last year when our book became overnight infamous due to the excort ads and a media station went under cover to investigate those companies advertised in MTP. It make into the prime time news and the ministry and management called me to rectify the problem. In the end, we had to pull back all the books, take out the ads and reprint the pages and manually paste into the books. It was a tedious work that involved a lot of manpower.

Unfortunately, this the same execise will repeat. There was a graphic mistake in the book and my CEO wants to rectify it. The solution: print the correct graphic in sticker format and everyone in the company will stick on top on the error. It will be a sticking day again. Gosh...The error shouldn't happened if my designer didn't change the graphic last minute. He just has to change the graphic after the proofing stage. Due to his careless mistake, it will cost production extra. My designer has a weakness in attention to details. There is a mindset that designer only focus on design details. As a designer, he should put attention to details in all aspects, including the graphic, icon and text. When I mentioned text, I refer to spelling error, puntuation error and so on. Each time I told him about this, he feels that I'm nagging him. Well, now that there's a mistake in MTP, I let him find solution. He has to look for quotations for the stickers, the PRF and the printing of stickers. Then he has to get the staff to help with the sticking. Hopefully, he will learn his mistake and be more responsible next time. He has to accountable for his work.

Talking about improve, I plan to take up my MBA in the coming intake. It's long overdue and initially I wanted to do it overseas. However, looking at the current economic situation and my financial, I decided to pursue it locally. I plan to pursue it at Nottingham University Malaysia Campus. It's located at Chulan Tower so it quite convenience for someone like me who doesn't own a car. YUP, I rely on Malaysia's public transport to travel from one place to another. I'm the minority.


There will be a preview on the 23rd July at 7pm and I'll be attending it. The MBA will cost me RM46,000 in fees. At the moment, I have no means or ways to get this ammount. However, I believe if there's a will, there's a way. I did it before when I pursue my bachelor degrees and when I bought my house recently. No doubt it will be much tougher in the financial part as I'm still fresh in the house loan part. I just finished my renovation and purchase few basic furnitures. Now, I plan to add on more financial burden to myself. One may thinks I'm crazy, or ask me to wait. I'm different. I don't wait until I'm comfortable because it won't happen or I'll become lazy. I will definitely try to find ways to earn extra income and save up more. Although with the super high inflation cost, I'm unsure how I cam save.

My mind is made up and there's no turning back. I will have to sit for TOFEL test too. Everything involve money and money is never enough. How I wish someone or some company will sponsor my MBA. Wishful thinking. I have to improve myself or I will be out of the market. Lifelong learning is a must and good for the brain and heart. Working in a stressful place, study is an enjoyment and escape for me. Maybe that's why I have a lot of books at home and my study room is the first to fully furnished. Altough I still haven't add the deco touch on it yet. Reading borden my mind and general knowledge. This is something most Malaysian lacking. Many do read but only lifestyle magazines and not serious books or novels.

I can still spend a bit to qualify for the RM1k rebate in the annual income tax. Talking about income tax, government should lower income tax to ease the people's burden in view of the rising cost of living and inflation.

Crafts - Beads project

With all the things that going around, I decided to take a lighter note. 2 years ago, I learnt about bead crafts when I was in Melbourne. There was a bead shop that offer a short course for $50 and you can use the beads from the shop to do your personal project. What else, I signed up and started my bead crafts since then. Since then, I made a few beads jewelry for personal use and as give aways to friends. Unfortunately, since the past 1.5 years I haven't have time to continue my hobby and my craft box fill with beads was just lying there.

Now that I've a new place called home and just about to finish filling up my home with stuff and furniture that represent me, the mood of re-active my hobbies like crafts, photography and painting fills my thoughts. My SOHO is just about ready. Just need some finer touch. I'm looking forward to weekend so I can continue to furnish my place and unpack. So, after working hours, I browse the net for DIY bead project and found an interesting site. It's called Craftbits. I saw a simple project called beaded butterfly and it looks so cute.

Coutesy of Bitscrafts

I will upload some of my past bead works in the next posting. Cheers.

Current Situation

Since the last election, there is never short of spicy and juicy news about our politicians their views. It seems to me that the inner politic group is getting more mess up than before the election. Frustration is running deep among group members. Each day I see on the news and paper that politicians are accusing one another. As a layman, my view is that the politicians are trying to make a 'celebrity status' out of it. Instead of focusing on our current economic situation and people's hardship due to the rising cost of living, it seems that our economic and inflastucture are on a standstill while the politicians playing their beckering game. As a Malaysian, I have had enough of it. I fear that if politicians continue to beckering among themselves, tragedy will strike. There are a lot of people like me who are feeling frustrated and fed up with all the commotion. I don't care if a politician is having extra affair outside the marriage. I don't care if a politian is accused of linking to a high profile murder case. All are innocent until proven guilty. But, please, don't spend all the time of the day focusing on personal issues, personal attack on each other. I, for one, want a decent living in Malaysia and peace so that I can earn money for a living. I want the government to show me the clear cut evidents how they are going to withstand the economic turmoil we are facing. The economic issue is not just our country. It's spreading from US and EU. We are only a tiny country and very dependent on the big guys whether we like it or not.

If politicians don't stop their childish behavior and act professional and diplomatic, it may ended up with riots like our neighbouring countries. In the end it is not benefits for anyone. Forget about racism, forget about unity, all talk and no action doesn't carry any weight. I fear that if this continue, those who have been quiet and didn't take part in the elections will fight back. When they do, it will make matter worse because they fight when their rice bowl is affected. Animals will fight to defend its family, what more to say us, human being. If I have the choice and money, I will move out of this country forever. There's nothing worth keping me here. Equal opportunity is more of a word than reality. Peace and proudness of being Malaysian are no longer in my heart. Earning a living now is more difficult because most local companies look for paper qualification more than skills and talent. Our education system is not suitable to today's world and it never changes. For the rich, they can migrate to other country. For the geniuses, they can migrate to other country of their choice. What about the the average and the poor? They have no way to run but to stay and fight.

Scream

Too much work too little time...
