Are we missing something here Zahra?

The latest thing going viral now is the #sayazahra speech. While I can understand the woes she has highlighted as a fresh graduate and the financial situation she is going through living paycheck to paycheck... what I fail to understand is why she thinks this situation only applies to malays and bumiputras?

I am pretty sure it affects all the youths of her generation. Unless she is insinuating that there is some sort of double standards when it comes to the hiring of graduates or only the malay and bumiputras are poor.

Hmmm....all I can say is I can relate to her plight but it is the same for all races. The high standard of living and non-commensurative remuneration is a problem that impacts everyone.

A repeated attempt

Here we go again.  I have been trying to reinstate my blogging habits to no avail in the past few years. I don't know why but the habit just won't stick but when I look back at my old postings it brings back many fond memories which I never would have reflected upon had I not blogged it.

So here is to me giving it one more go to start blogging again. My little record of things I have done, felt, experienced or reminisced upon.

Wish me luck!!

Sometimes...

There are just times when things just click... and when those times come about... you cherish them... not everyone can make you smile to yourself or laugh like an idiot out loud without even being by your side...So when you do find someone like that, you hang on tight and hope that things always remain the same...

Sometimes things may change but you should always try... because without trying it will definitely change... but if you try... maybe, just maybe it's for keeps...and that is worth trying for.

Cruising in and about...

Check out what just rolled into town.... my sexy new ride!! Woohoo!!!

Sleek lines in storm silver just makes this beauty a sight for sore eyes... love my new CRZ... it drives so smooth it just feels like it's gliding.

I'm gonna feel so much better driving to work... :) SO excited. *clap hands*

A little pampering...

Had a not so great week and needed some self indulgence.... went for a pedicure to cheer myself up... helped a bit but my spirits are down... :(

Still thinking when my decision was a mistake. Maybe it really isn't my place... how could things turn so bad in my 7 year absence? How could people get so insecure that having me come in as a manager be a threat to them.

It sometimes hurts to know that as simplistic and innocent as your intent can be, it will still be construed as a malicious act... *shrugs* it's only been 4 weeks and I already feel tired... God help me...

As you can see I am highly disturbed by my current situation. Even pampering does little to ease the troubles in my heart and mind.

I do hope things change for the better... *fingered crossed*

Coming out of the Shell

2 years and 27 days later, I am now leaving Shell. It is a bittersweet feeling leaving my colleagues and friends and moving to bigger better things..

I am excited yet a bit afraid of what is in store for me... Will let you know how it pans out. :)

Blog Resolution...

I am obviously not progressing well with my new blog although I am suppose to be turning over a new page... So let me make a resolution.. a blog resolution...

Come 10th Sept 2012, my first day of my new job, I will blog at least twice a month if not more...

There, Ai Chin you have committed yourself. Now behave. :)
