Starting Work for the First Time

Dear all, Hope everyone is doing great! This is my first post since I started my first job. After a long break I needed so much, I am now refueled and more motivated to start this new chapter of working life. I moved to an island-sort-of. It is connected to land but very near the coastal region. The only means of going home from here is by flying. This means that I will be on the aeroplane pretty often from now on. This is really the job I wanted. It is related to what I studied and so happy and thankful for this job opportunity. It is better than I expected. I had so many mixed feelings about it at first and now that I am more settled, I am so grateful that it turned out better than expected. Any transition will always require time for us to figure things out and get things properly sorted. The uncertainty of many things is very high when you first move to a new place. Nevertheless, I told myself. You are young, this is your first job opportunity, go out there and fly. Seek new ...

Meen's Life Updates: March 2018

Image
Dear all, happy March! Can you believe it? We are almost a quarter-way through the year of 2018. Today I had piano class. This morning I woke up extra early and cycled at 730am. I do not usually wake up this early but I slept at 1030pm last night, hence the early morning. I was super exhausted yesterday. My brother was playing badminton at Interzone level from Monday to Thursday and most days, it started at 8am so we left home by 730am. Also, I felt a little ill on Wednesday and so thankful I feel much better today. He won second place in doubles game and received a medal, certificate and a badminton bag gift for his achievement. Now he will play at a higher level and I am so happy for him. I am a family-oriented person so being home and being able to participate in my family members activities is something that makes me happy. This week, there are 3 important birthdays. First, my dearest grandmother, my lovely sister and my best friend from high school. All 3 in a week. We had a ...

How to Choose the Right Career

This post is mainly for anyone out there who is thinking of their career path, confused about the future, just graduated from high school or college and thinking what to do next or anyone who already has a job but thinking to reconsider their career options. Some people know with full certainty what they want to do but most people are not sure and it is OK to be unsure. There are so many career options out there so take it slow, do lots of research, identify what you enjoy and just go for it. Do not overthink once you have decided and enjoy the ride! Here are a few steps which I applied after my SPM (equivalent to O Levels) to decide what I wanted to study. As I studied, I reconsidered these steps again to identify the most suitable career for myself. Each and every person is different, you cannot compare like to like. For me, even among my siblings we all have different interests but the differences add the colour and fun especially during a mealtime when we all share our latest ...

What Every Sensitive Person Needs to Know

Image
Dear all, I hope everyone is doing great :) It's been a long weekend for the Chinese New Year here in Kuala Lumpur and I am enjoying these endless holidays :) Today I would like to write a motivational topic that probably many of you can relate. I read an article recently that 1 in 5 people are highly sensitive compared to others. Also, recently as I am getting older, I realised that people are getting more and more easily offended. If you are offended by someone or something, then continue reading, this blogpost is for you. Chances are all of us have experienced an offensive situation, be it a shopkeeper, a family member, a friend, a distant relative, a colleague or a random person you don't know. Something to realise in this situation is that each person has a different reaction to offensive situations and people have different levels of sensitivity. Being a pretty sensitive person myself, I try myself to be careful with what I say or do to avoid offending others. Even th...

Difference Between Living in London and Kuala Lumpur

Image
After 4 years of living and studying in London from 2013, I returned to Kuala Lumpur at the end of 2017. Moving to a different city after a long time can be exhausting with all the packing but also exciting. It gives you that adrenaline rush of the unknown adventure. Now that I have been staying in Kuala Lumpur for some time, I can now pick out the clear differences between the two cities. Both Kuala Lumpur and London are the capital cities of Malaysia and United Kingdom respectively. Thus, there are some similarities in terms of living a city life. However, they are on the opposite sides of the world so a huge difference in lifestyle is expected. Here I will share with you the differences and similarities that I have picked out. Enjoy reading :) Food Food is the most distinct difference when comparing the two cities. Asian food is known for the rich flavour and for the variety. Asian people think that food in West is very plain and always the same thing. This is a very per...

Facial Spa Review in Skin Valet Ampang: Diamond Silk Peel

Image
Happy February everyone :) It's a public holiday again in Malaysia because it is the Federal Territory Day. Today I'd like to share my experience at a new spa called Skin Valet. It is new in Ampang because it was previously called Hannan Medispa. I have been there once and tried their basic facial RM90 but I did not really feel satisfied after the facial session because I did not see a clear difference before and after. When I go to my usual spa, I see a clear difference so I decided to continue going to that spa. However, recently I read a review online about the Diamond Silk Peel at Skin Valet and it seemed interesting and good. Being the curious me, I decided to try. If you know me well, you know how much I am obsessed with skin care. Many have told me that my bedroom can substitute for a pharmacy and my handbag is a mobile mini pharmacy due to the many things I carry with me hehe. I have always been more interested in skincare compared to makeup but now my interest in m...

The Greatest Showman Movie Review: Best Movie Ever

Image
Today was a public holiday and after having lunch at Cili Padi, we went to the cinema and watched The Greatest Showman. We were lucky they let us in because we were 10 minutes late after the movie started. The line was incredibly long (omg) but understandable as everyone was off today. This was actually my second time watching this movie, I like it so much that I can watch it endlessly. The Greatest Showman is one of a kind. I have not watched a movie that I liked soo much like this. It had lots of singing and dancing like Bollywood movies. The songs in the movie are incredible. Here are two of my favourite songs from the movie. I liked the movie so much mainly because there were so many important lessons conveyed and I loved seeing the sweet family of PT Barnum (Hugh Jackson). In a way, it reminded me of my little family when I was small; it was just me and my sister and my parents. His daughters were Caroline and Helen. Caroline is like my sister, she likes t...
