Maids may snub Malaysia - Nation | The Star Online

I hope this statement that appeared in the papers before Christmas last year, will indeed be turned into a certainty instead of a possibility.  I can hear parents (if there are any reading this entry at all! Haha!) expressing their disagreements loudly and seething through their flaring nostrils in anger!

Free Education At One's Own Free Will

Every child deserves an education

I read this article today and felt compelled to note that many of these children do not go to school because their parents cannot afford to put them through school.

There is no such problem here in this country because no matter how poor you are, the government finds a way to ensure that children as early as seven years old are given the opportunity to go to school; for free!  What's more, if the parents put in a little bit of effort, everything that the children need to go to school, like bags, clothes and shoes, will also be given free.  To top it all off they even get free textbooks.  

Cell Phones : Keep It To Yourself

Cell phones can indeed be a necessity nowadays and people seem to think that they are so indispensable.  That being the case, I wonder how people used to get along with cellphones before they were invented; the days when we only relied on land lines and public phones.  I have to say we got along well.

Till We Meet Again

The year 2012 is coming to a close.  The numeral 12 has a certain sentimental effect on me where examinations, especially Malaysian Examination Certificate, are concerned.  I have met many friends through this endeavor and without doubt have learnt a great many things too; things I learnt through the experiences of these friends and those that I learn from being involved in these examinations.

Lend Me Your Ears

We always get irritated when people younger than us (or just anyone, really!) do not pay attention to what we are saying.  Not only that, they ignore us by talking to their friends (about things that are obviously more interesting to them!) or attend to other matters (like playing video games or texting using their cellphones!)  Suffice to say that we would blow our top and bombard these people with angry words!

It's already the 25th of December here in Malaysia.  The date has no real significance to me since I am not celebrating Christmas.  However, many friends I know are celebrating it all over the world and I rejoice in the happiness and celebration.

Everyone has the right to choose, especially as paying customers.  When we purchase something, we definitely want value for the money that we pay; more often than not the cheaper the better without any expense on quality.
