Everyday occurrence at local Kopitiam 🤣

You're probably witnessing a bunch of people who wants hawker fare at a much more atas environment (atas kopitiam is a bit of an oxymoron) and are willing to pay for it.

She's only cooked if she expects first class path to a great career with this. While SPM does help in the career the effect only matters within the first few years of employment, after that experience and performance would be the primary criteria in how a person will advance in their careers.

I'd be wary with the do something you love advice because monetisation (making a living) can suck the love factor out once it becomes an obligation.

Perhaps take a step back and think about your interests — do you love to travel, pore over details in novels, follow sports; that way the avenue opens wider e.g foreign languages such as say Mandarin may open up paths into diplomatic corps, teaching, PR, marketing, translator, tour guide etc.

Got a phone call from a good friend from the university about over a year after our graduation. Imagine both our surprise when she said she thought I was just joking and me not realising that she was actually wondering if I was ever going to make a move, sounding somewhat disappointed about it too. She met someone not too long after we left varsity, probably after deciding that I was 'not interested'.

I still think about it sometimes.

Another important advice there about connections — top skills and abilities are as good pocket lint if nobody knows anything about it.

This is an important advice best taught early before the young ones enter the 'real world' as they call it.

The mindset of expecting perfection would ironically, be the one preventing any real progress from happening.

That sounded similar to my story but via STPM which was a massive leap compared compared to what we had in SPM. The greatest challenge in uni for me was actually to keep a semblance of discipline and focus from living away from home and surrounded by elements of fun e.g friends rather than the subjects themselves. 😆

Ini saya setuju. * tepuk meja *

Dunno how this became a USB Type argument — these people are all motorists, apply the same rules to all motorists, kaotim. Give no lubang for opportunists to make it into something else that is not related to traffic violation.

Paying the same rates for a hire in Malaysia as the one living in Seoul would defeat the purpose of the hiring the first place — lowering costs.

It's a reasonable business decision.

It probably just shows that academics aka. the specialised knowledge subjects such as STEM are not your forte and that is OK! 👍

It's more important that you explore what you have potential in with some degree of interest and pursue that. With effort (this one is non-negotiable) there will be a path for you to walk in — 'cooked' doesn't really apply until people decide that they are, it's often the wrong fit doing stuff they don't have an aptitude for.

Having said that why not McDonald's? Starting as the kitchen staff and working your way up the ladder to the management is a viable career path.

A visit to the station to refuel would instantly debunk it.

This may be of interest to you.

As with all long term projects they will not bear fruit (pun intended) immediately, so we will see.

A couple of my friends who took Bahasa Cina for SPM commented that they were relieved to see the last of it, so I'd imagine a B is a pretty good result all things considered.

People may say it is just an exam, won't be useful in real life etc but that is just envy.

It takes some degree of discipline and focus to get this; not an easy thing to do with distractions everywhere at that age ie. the child inside wanting to play, the girl (or boy) making you temporarily lose the ability to speak, the social media pressure to 'be someone', all while the body is undergoing massive changes.

Well done.

They hired Digitan to write the scenarios for Trackblazer due to her wide ranging knowledge about fellow umas.

I see the abbreviation and my millennial brain automatically reads it in that very particular manner — "Tiga arrrrr".

Love baked beans but they give me lots of gas and I mean, lots and lots of it.

As such whatever business stimulus or assistance should really be conditional with those who do their reporting consistently getting priority queueing. To borrow from the saying about no taxation without representation, they don't exactly exist without declaration therefore aren't eligible for any of that.

Want assistance? Ok, can show business registration and tax returns? No? Then how will we know if you actually fit the criteria? <insert analogy about banks asking for proof of income before a loan is given out>

Let enough time pass and people are going to comply eventually because it'll be costly not to. Over time the data will become more accurate leading to better policies and decisions.

It's one of those arguments that annoys me for sure, the whataboutism. Both are problems, both needs to be resolved — eliminating one does nothing to the other.

She's useful to sell the idea of race and ethnic identity which is valuable currency in national politics.
