This happens only in Malaysia?

Oops! Sorry, I 'crushed on' you.

Is this sight a familiar one? I don't mean the traffic jam. Look at those flat orange rubber on the road. And who can be proud to be called Malaysians who live in a land where drivers who are supposed to be holding legal driving licence have not learnt to be law-abiding citizens?

Why are drivers so impatient to wait in line that they have to cut queues and ram into these lane dividers?

And, by the way, should the authority consider fixing steel lane dividers instead of rubber type to deter such 'cowboys' from their 'crushing' hobbies? It's still money spent, it's just a matter of spending before or after such mishaps.

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...

It's never too late

"No matter where you are in life right now, no matter who you are, no matter how old you are - it is never too late to be who you are meant to be." - Esther & Jerry Hicks. I am already, what my other half describes as 'half-way through our lives'. Starting out a venture on my own since about three years ago, I never thought that age is a barrier. I only know that I need to move on and I know that I will not be any better had I stayed where I was. Where we are in life - there is never a right time in life to do something different. When one has just graduated from college, it's a norm for parents to expect their kids to join the working world to gain some experience as well as to recoup the investment costs in their kids' education. After a few years, one would have accumulated too many commitments to be even bold enough to take a risk doing something on his own in view of the fixed and steady salary. Then, come the additional precious member...

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?

More than just an accountant
