Life.

When you look back at your life, what do you see? Pride? Happiness? Regret? Sadness?

I think life is something all of us should treasure. Live like everyday is our last. Appreciate everyone in our lives, every encounter we have, everywhere we go, everything we do.

Because what is life when you don't take happiness in the little things that happen, that goes by? Worry not about tomorrow, not about yesterday, but today for today brings enough worry and woes on its own.

Just take it one step at a time. If something doesn't work, it's okay to take two steps front, and one step back. Not everything is going to be a smooth ride. In fact, nothing is ever straightforward.

Staying Connected in Western Australia 🇦🇺

Image
So I recently traveled to Perth and around WA for about 9 days. It was important for me to have a steady connection throughout as we would be driving all over. Instead of getting Optus or Telstra temporary data SIM cards which do offer great packages for short stays, I thought why not get a portable WiFi which could be shared among my family members? Since I work for an online travel agency, Wonderfly, I automatically knew of Roamingman which was a new and up and coming company that provides WiFi service to over 100 countries in the different continents. If you visit our  website  here, it cost only RM26/day for Australia and New Zealand though depending on where you're travelling, you can get it from as low as RM15/day! It's pretty simple to use; just treat it like any other powerbank you have. As much as 5 different users can connect to one but it's better if it's limited to just 3 as the power can also be lasted throughout the day and the speed will pro

Thinking Deeper with Thomas Merton

Image
A short introductory plague of Merton (1915 - 1968) at the Thomas Merton Center Foundation. In our society, a society of business rooted in Puritanism, based on the pseudo-ethic of industriousness and thrift, to be rewarded by comfort, pleasure, and a good bank account, the myth of work is thought to justify an existence that is essentially meaningless and futile. There is, then, a great deal of busy-ness as people invent things to do when in fact there is very little to be done. Yet we are overt, whelmed with jobs, duties, tasks, assignments, “missions” of every kind. At every moment we are sent north, south, east, and west by the angels of business and art, poetry and politics, science and war, to the four corners of the universe to decide something, to sign something, to buy and sell. We fly in all directions to sell ourselves, thus justifying the absolute nothingness of our lives. The more we seem to accomplish, the harder it becomes to really dissimulate our trifling, and the only

Impact of Sexual Harassment and the Lack of Legal Protection

Image
A few days ago, I was watching the Korean drama, Law School, and a particular case disturbed me and remained with me for some time. It was one on physical abuse and rape by the person whom the character loved and trusted. I felt a deep sense of injustice because I know that this is very real in the world we live in, and many women suffer from the pain, betrayal, humiliation, and the lack of believe of others. Tonight as I lay on my bed, I am reminded of all the times I have encountered some form of being sexually harassed and nothing was done about it. I also think of the sexual harassments that my mother, my sister, and my female cousin all went through during their younger days, yet none of us knew what to do about it then. According to AWAM, sexual harassment refers to an unwanted or unwelcome conduct that is sexual in nature, and may be committed physically, verbally, non-verbally, psychologically and/or visually, which may cause the person being harassed to feel humiliated, offend
