Of Malaysian - Smart tag reader

Sensitive towards my surroundings and always expecting what I deserve, I have decided that I will start writing about things, of the typical Malaysians, of course which truly reflect this real spirit, you will know what I mean if you follow my blog.

As a pioneer post, anyone ever complains about missing 'gadgets' in the car. I don't mean gadgets such as laptops or handphones left in the car which certainly attract thieves. I mean those items, attached to windscreen, which are supposedly 'valueless' and yet get looted. Yes, I am referring to the 'Smart tag' reader. You don't see these gadgets attached to windscreens of cars anymore as they get 'stolen'. But, these are supposed to be for convenience and speed to go through toll plazas without stopping long. So, tolerant drivers have to make do with keeping the reader with them (hide them in compartment away from the sight of thieves) and flash these readers as they pass through toll plazas.

So, these diehard thieves are really 'cari makan'. Even small gadgets like these can't escape them. A new one costs a hundred over ringgit, and a used one costs? Probably RM50?

My ambition was to be an accountant

From the first year I reached secondary school until I graduated, being an accountant had always been my first choice ambition.  It was only on my final year in Secondary 5 that my first choice had changed to being a 'Manageress'.  Somehow, as a child, an accountant gave me the impression of being a very highly-respectable profession.  Not only that, one can only call herself an accountant after passing all the necessary examinations.  She can't call herself one just because she holds the title of 'accountant'.  Having knowledge of this respectable profession or rather occupation, as what I knew last time, and the fact that not anyone can be an accountant, I told myself that that would be my choice.  How about doctors and lawyers? Aren't these respectable occupations? Oh yes, they are. And these earn a lot of money too.  I had even  thought about whether I would be able to be a good lawyer as being a lawyer means one needs to ha...

My first experience and a good one

Today is the day I will attempt on this venture. I wasn't that well-prepared. But, I have promised and I must deliver. My sister was looking forward to today and in fact, had cancelled another clashing activity just to make today happen. (How come the eunuch is more concerned than the emperor?) Actually, I had been doing my homework and do some research internet. But, with the limited time I have to do so many things, I could not focus a lot of time on this. More so, here we are talking about a PMR (secondary one) and SPM (secondary four) level. And, this is one of the toughest subject, the national language, Bahasa Malaysia. Even though the 'students' are my own nephews, I feel the responsibility as well as the pressure to teach them. Well, the session went on quite well. At least, I know what I was doing. I had given some pointers to them. They seem appreciative and are learning something. I'm glad even though I was slightly 'lost' when both seem to want my at...

Books which collect dust

So little time, yet so many things to accomplish.  Now, when will I have the time to read the books I bought?  There are at least 5 books that I have bought but are now sitting uselessly while accumulating dust in the book shelf.  Some of them are just flipped for a few pages and later abandoned again.  I feel so sorry that these books are not read yet for its contents.  I'm sure there are intricacies,wonders and amazement waiting to be discovered by reading them.  But, what will power do I have to pick up one and start reading regardless of my busyness?
