Rubbish that grow on street lights

No, they are not products of biotechnology which make some kind of rare fruits grow on street light poles. These are scenes typical to housing estates. The lower the income-earning capacity of the population of the area, the more of such 'fruits' you can find present.

What could be the reason these bags of trash not in dustbins but on street light poles? The residents skim on dustbins? Or to prevent stray cats or dogs scavenging through the trash or these bags are more convenient for the garbage collectors to do their jobs. Believe me, these collectors seem to be so busy that they will not even close the covers of the dustbins after emptying them. I believe this phenomenon is more of for convenience.

What kind of impression are we leaving to tourists or foreigners who visit our country?

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 time in the office

I have two kinds of feelings as I stepped into this corporate office. One is the kind of familiar yet one that I have not felt for almost eight years. The moment you step into the office, you can almost feel the pressure that's gonna be with you for the rest of the day until you call it a day. And knowing that someone very close and important to you will be waiting for you at home. I have long abandoned that feeling, thank goodness for that! Another one is a nicer feeling. Hey, I'm the wife of a senior personnel in this office. But, thankfully I don't have to greet anyone so as not to conceal my slight anxiety. It's a non-working day. After all,this is my first time stepping into his office. Well, the feeling that no one is calling the shot, except for him, as his wife, I do have this pride that beams in me. Needless to say, I took the opportunity to scan through some stuff in his office. A quick one, else I would be 'accused' of prying on his privacy. ...

A familiar sight

Do we want to be associated with trash? The answer could be positive if the people do not 'wake up' to throw their trash indiscriminately. Since they are throwing rubbish, why can't they throw them in a dustbin? This situation is definitely going to attract pests such as flies, rats,crows, roaches or even stray cats and dogs. And this is found in an area under MPAJ. Have we heard that MPAJ has demarcated certain area as 'Kawasan Bersih'? So, if there is no such classification, does that mean it is justifiable to be filthy?

More than just an accountant
