Malaysia

To all fellow Malaysians out there,

Stop looking for haven elsewhere in the world.
We have our own unique haven right here in Malaysia.
Beautiful beaches? We have Redang, Perhentian, Langkawi, Pangkor, etc

And you know what's the most special of all?
In the humble states of Sabah and Sarawak, though not particularly advanced, lies the Heart of Borneo, alongside with Indonesia and Brunei.
A place where, as claimed by WWF as the "only place in Southeast Asia where tropical rainforest can still be conserved on a grand scale."
A place, tagged as 'one of the most biologically diverse place on earth".

Right here.

the economy

Being a very ignorant girl, I did not know much about the global or local economy.
It never really was a problem, until i decided that i would like to, perhaps, get a little bit involved in share market. Since my dad do not generally have much luck in these games, I figured maybe i could try my luck seeing that I have luck.

Anyhow, it's really very confusing after i start reading these articles and news about experts' views and opinions and predictions.

One of the things that i observed through reading articles is, there are generally 3 groups of people. The people who are very optimistic about the economy, let's call them "optimus". every article from them starts with " the worst is behind us.."
the second group of people, are very pessimistic about the economy, let's call them "moaning myrtle". All they care about is the economy sinking to lower depths everyday, or predict that there will be an "all time low" this season.
The third group is undecided. It can be good or bad depending on XXX's decision or whatever.

so who should i listen to?! I really prefer "optimus" if you ask me.

new revelations of the week

I do not know about people elsewhere, but people here, they have a habit to call on those who have better results or are more studious, to have a low EQ. Well, at first its a mystery to me. I mean, how do you judge a person's EQ?? And then i realize its so easy to put a label on it precisely because there is no certain way to label it! Think about it, if no one is sure, isn't it easier for you to pass a judgement?
So why is it that people with self-proclaimed high EQ often refer to people different from them as low EQ?

Haven't you heard the song "colors of the wind" by Pocahontas? ...you think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew you never knew..."

So please, do not be so quick to pass judgement. Think about things and people in another perspective and you will find that there's just so much you didn't know.
And about being studious, i really do not see what's wrong with wanting good results. If you already chose to go to a University, then its really your responsibility to make use of all the resources and time available to complete your degree with good grades and fill your head with knowledge. Do not do it half-heartedly.
I know there's a lot of this propaganda on "young people should not go to University" or "you don't need a University degree to succeed."
Well just so you know, that's for people who haven't decide to go to University.

If you already decided that, yes you want to come to University to learn something, then FOR GOD'S SAKE DO IT PROPERLY!!!
Please, do not come to University and complain that there is more to life than just studying. If you really feel that there's more to life than just studying then it's really a better idea to do whatever you think feels right to you.

There really are a lot of ways to succeed. Don't pick the wrong path, and then diss the people who did pick the right path and go for it whole heartedly.
