Working in Berjaya Times Square isn't the ideal place for a conducive environment in terms of providing service based jobs.

Perhaps, not for me.

For PJ peeps, it's a close up and personal observation of the other "side" of Malaysians.

Where the community spits, utter vulgar language and draws out their cigarette bud wherever they like. Of course, over the years, the numbers of "them" has decreased but still, it's a plain ugly sight when they exhibit their immoral codes and values.

Is it just education or ethics? Or both?

The simplest things in everyday life, giving way when someone wishes to cut to the other lane when you're driving, queuing up for your turn when you're trying to buy a ticket, pressing the open button at the lift when someone is trying to enter before the lift door closes ..

There was a survey conducted here in Malaysia by foreigners, listing us as the world's top 5 rudest countries. Sure, there may be some flaws and loopholes in the survey but still, it shows Malaysia's moral codes and conducts. And for crying out loud, we're not a 3rd world country, we're a developing country. There's a huge difference in classifying ourselves and thinking that "It's okay lah." and continue doing what you've been doing.

The LRT system alone is so complicated, a 3rd world nation can't afford to hire foreign engineers and architects to construct something like that. Don't mention the Petronas Twin towers or Maxis for instance, these sort of industries wouldn't exist if have hardcore poverty on a LARGE scale.

The community has their fair share of responsibility to educate and install proper values and ethics into the minds of their children. However, from a bigger picture, it's the government that governs the people of the country. And the government needs a change.

So please, manipulate your education and VALUES, if you have any (I pray that you do), and make a change.

Thanks for your time.

God bless.

They say, progress is a very subjective matter.

But really, I'm unsure whether I can apply that to this matter.
18 September .. *counts* That's around 1 month+ of absence. I can imagine the horror on one business manager's face if he finds out that there's no report on his desk regarding the progress of the company for such a period time.

And perhaps, due to such a "progress", subconsciously, a compelling force was laid unto fingers from typing down any letter on this blog.

Of course, they are other factors which contribute to such unwanted event.

Financially, emotionally .. and the list goes on. I won't go so much details on all that for now.

However,

I've learned and will always remember this phrase from my beloved tuition teacher, Mrs Khoo -

"Undaunted Spirit"

Quoted from Dictionary.com
"undismayed; not discouraged; not forced to abandon purpose or effort: undaunted by failure."


Yes, it'll take that sort of spirit to search for ExO individuals, scattered all over the globe, lingering in places you least expect to find.

I do hope that my blog is able to convey to a considerable amount of coverage and prayerfully come in contact with any ExO.

Critical, focused, determined, positive and most importantly, creative individuals. First to stand out and manage when there's a crisis and wouldn't give up in the darkest days.

At the same time, the term "Survival" can be very subjective too.

For the past month, nothing much has changed. I'm referring to college here by the way.

The main purpose of college is to obtain education and whatever way the individual wishes to manipulate the education for, is up to the person.

College, is also a place where you meet all sorts of different people as well as learning how to work along well with them. Hence, you will be able to witness all the teamwork assignments flooding in.

However, I do not recall college as a place where, you find a group of people you fall in love with, or at least to make yourself think that way, and to stick with them no matter what the circumstances are. To lie, cheat, gossip, act, pretend, neglect or any other "method" to stay in the group.

Frankly speaking, when one enters the corporate world, it's not up to the person to Choose who she/he wants to work with, the employer does. That also means, even if you end up working with a bunch of seniors who push all the workload to you, you have to pull it through too.

Anyhow, to not divert to far away from the topic, the real key element in "surviving", is your mindset. What do wish to achieve in college?

Evaluate critically and carefully on those goals, for whom you're doing it for?

Lose your focus and goals and you will find yourself succumbing to peer pressure, doing things that you find yourself dead shocked to only realize you forgot who you really are.

This post is rather lengthy and plain, but not to worry, the following one will be more appealing to the eyes. Before i end this post, thank you all for all the support, especially to my beloved girl, Vong Li Her. Do stop by at her blog too :) www.liherrehil.blogspot.com

Thank you for your time.

God bless. Cheers.
