Also I'm pretty sure I did well only because the paper I sat for was pretty easy compared to the other states.\nI've been having nightmares lately. I don't think I'm stressed.

As someone who enjoys lifelong learning, I avidly watch stuff like NileRed who will help with your chem papers... make use of it!", "What did u include in ur portfolio and where did u apply for uni? Does the gap year mean the time while waiting for ur spm results to come out?", "hello! I applied to Taylor's Uni (landed in interior design) but I sent in applications for IT, mass comm and archi but settled for ID.

All of them pay quite decently in the long run and you can start a business with these fields.\nPeople assume because it's private it's easy, it really wasn't. The dropout rate for my course was pretty steep too, your grades depend on the consistency of your work and one bad submission could really mess things up. Less than 5 students would get Dean's list for my course as well. Most design schools public or private now follow similar teaching principles so I would say the quality of most colleges is good (but don't EVER go to LKW it's just so bad there, most of my lecturers are ex-LKW) To get Dean's List in my course, sleep and sanity kinda had to be sacrificed haha.\nI applied a year after my results came out. SMK life burned me out and after hearing warnings about how design school is even worse, I decided to take a break and also worked so I could have some pocket money.\nIn my portfolio I put in posters and graphics I made for school and freelance, I also participated in competitions which had creative aspects to it so whatever won awards, I just put it in there. One of the most crucial things which helped me earn the scholarship was confidence, and I faked that so I could ace the interview. All the other students just brought grades and they weren't as passionate in design. The scholars for business school and IT kind of did the same, the business student legit acted like those sigma male business types which wowed the faculty, and IT kid did coding and UI/UX since high school.

Also, this was when there wasn't much resource available online, but now I'd also suggest you to try watching any youtube videos etc on any concepts that you don't understand. I found out later in uni that I wasn't really that bad in maths.

Not just memorize the steps like A --> B --> C. Get to know the terms so you will understand why A occurs to get B and so on. Once you \"get it\" then you won't even need to \"memorize\" As for add maths, you have to practice on tons of questions, that's the best way. The more you do the better. You just get exposed to all possible variations. Then pandai2 use your calculator to find the factor in equation or solve function. No need to crack your head, draw diagram.

Everytime i start answering an add math question, i would read the question carefully and try to deduce what equation i need. Also always think simple and start from basic equation.

Haven't watched Shawshank redemption tho, but it's in my list" ], [ "Joining along my family for this year-end holiday in London is my youngest paternal uncle’s family, who has a flat in another part of the city. His wife is the part-Malay lady who I said is the more beautiful among my two aunts on my dad’s side. She could be the most beautiful of all my aunts: petite, a symmetrical face, a smile splashing even and big teeth that any toothpaste commercial director would die for, and shiny black hair that is smooth to the touch.\nI just learned that the reason she grew up in many countries, including London, was because her father was a diplomat, a term that I never came across until then and still do not understand what it does. As her parents were not religious and were also barely Malay (her dad was half-Malay Indian and half-Chinese, while her mother was half-Chinese and half-Syrian), she never had any formal Islamic education and never spoke the Malay language growing up. She became a Catholic on her own, and with her parents’ blessing, years before she returned to Malaysia.\nMy cousins, including my aunt’s own youngest daughter, tend to make fun of this aunt of mine for her apparent judgemental nature. Since my paternal cousins are hardly religious, they get annoyed by my aunt’s contestations over their disinterest with church, her advice weaving religious lessons, and apparently her blatant dislike for Malays and Muslims. Recently, my cousins were gossiping in our group chat about my aunt constantly posting about her support for Israel on her Facebook, to which none of them apparently got any likes.\nAs I get older, I could see the hypocrisy in some of these overly religious people, too. My sister told me about how mom also could not stand this aunt, especially when she first made it clear that she no longer believed in God. Apparently my aunt acted like she went through the seven stages of grief after finding out, as she tried to cut mom off her life, yet eventually tried to cajole mom back into the religious fold, until she ultimately gave up. My youngest cousin said her mom has said to her that my mom became a cripple and later losing her ability to speak was her punishment for deserting God, although in actuality mom started to lose her faith after the accident that rendered her a quadriplegic. Yet, disapproving mom she may be, my aunt is always around when mom hosts parties, as I have learned that she often asks mom for money for various purposes.\nBut I cannot dislike my aunt like my cousins and mom do. It is true that she had never properly spoken to me until this year, but I always placed the blame on myself for feeling inferior and shy around her. When I told her that I still identify myself as Catholic unlike mom and my sister, we become texting buddies as she sends me Psalms and a friend to listen (read) to my problems.\nAnd now here during our year-end holiday, I need mom’s caregivers’ help to get me prepared in the morning as I gave my caregivers time off to celebrate Christmas in the US. Yet, after finding this out, my aunt has been coming over every morning to do my morning preparations. She even volunteered to learn to assist my bowel movements, something that I never did for my own mom when I was still able to walk. My aunt not only helped me, but in effect helped lessen the burden of my mom’s caregivers who already have to do everything for mom.\nThis idea of everyone is shades of grey, instead of either black or white, is still a concept that I am still trying to grasp. I guess my aunt embodies this phenomenon to the T. I can never join my cousins and my sister gossiping about her, even though I could see the merits of their criticisms." ], [ "Is there any country in the world right now where the wages are not stagnating and the cost of living not increasing?\nI go to /r/singapore, /r/ireland, /r/unitedkingdom, and it's all the same thing.

As an amateur part-time movie buff, I'll say:\nThis is better than the overproduced shit you get in cinema, on national TV, and Astro. But then again, local productions are generally Sh1t count for some rare finds once a year or two.\nIt's a dystopia. The setting is a post-racial riot Malaysia and Borneo had split, leaving Malaysia in shambles and the ringgit weak. 80% of Malaysians who stayed voted for a return to race-based segregation. A reminiscent of British Malaya. It seems that Malays sat on the top, the Chinese were pushed to the countryside, and the Indians as always were relocated to the rural. Comms are down, e.g. internet, phones, etc.\nSo... there's an element of fantasy to the story and I do not think the world-building was well thought-out. There were major flaws.\nThe main characters are Chinese, they're a family, and they're very likable. The Dad is somebody who browsed and spammed on LYN.net. He's very ethnocentric, while his wife is metaphorically colorblind, and so are the children. The Dad eventually redeemed himself. The other main character is a Malay orphan girl who hasn't caught up to the segregation yet. She's defenseless and lost and I thought her character didn't serve much of a purpose to the story, other than her name being withheld until the end, only revealed as an act of humanizing her character.\nThe villains were cartoonish. Bad actors, bad lines, playing up to stereotypes.\nEven if the setting was bright (daylight, countryside greeneries, diverse characters and personalities), I'd describe this as a noir because of how slow and sleepy it is.\nThe usage of languages is interesting and serves as a symbol of our failed unity. There's a banana character and a Malay guy who said \"ni hao ma\" as a bad attempt to connect.\nThe overall message of the film is simple, as in the end, we learn that the villains are rich Chinese and Malays, and the normal people are just trying to survive. It's not a race war, it's a class war. The representative Malay family is gone, only a girl is left behind. The Chinese seem to be decimated and they're struggling to get basic medicine for their asthmatic son. The Indians have to resort to fishing to survive and it's hugely implied that they were both professionals (e.g. a doctor) who lost everything when the segregation happened.\nThe ending is ambiguous, it is unknown what happens as the representative Chinese family was reduced to only a highschool girl, and they encounter a stranger on the road and that's it. It reminds me of 'Children of Men'. Overall, the film harps on reproductive futurism. Politics is designed to protect and ensure human reproduction, and it is by no coincidence that the only surviving characters are children. They represent the future of the country. This ending, by no doubt, is written by a well-educated person.\nOverall, 6.5/10.", "reproductive futurism? never heard of that. also a lot of times we see that bad habits/influence are passed down from one generation to another.", "Reproductive futurism (coined by Edelman) is worth reading about.

In 2019, I pursue further studies in Local half government half private university. Then comes the pandemic, where I feel like me and my family had taken such huge toll, Things slowly changed, from having good bond with family, to not being able to have one decent conversation, from going to breakfast with my dad on the weekends, to not being able to even ask him how his day was. From being financially stable family, to being a family with little or non-existent monthly income, and because of that, I keep a distance with my friends solely because I don’t feel the need to share the problems with my friends, plus, i’d say I am no longer sekufu with my circle of friends.\nThese days, or precisely, these recent years I fell like i’m stucked in a rut, my priority has been to work for money, despite being a student, and after Covid-19 pandemic, I’ve been neglecting my study, and my degree CGPA went from 3.87 to 3.1 recently, to make things worse, this semester (last 2 weeks), I requested for deferment(tangguhan) of study, and I feel very lost in life right now, I barely have any money to spend on me, hell, I literally have nothing on my name.

He or she can give you the best insight on what your industry needs and how you can deliver.\nRemember that people don't want you for who you are. They want you for what you can deliver. And the value of what you can deliver will reflect how much they will pay you for it." ], [ "Find something you enjoy doing on the weekend.

Personally i think especially for this sector it will be difficult to rise to managerial level without 1) professional qualification 2) overall understanding from the entire accounting perspective.\nNevertheless, if you feel like you have what it takes to grind harder for better rewards and a much faster career progression. Do consider entering audit firms where they will usually pay for your professional papers while bonding you for about 4 years. If you do get by this extremely tough phase of your life. Life will get much better than that.\nAs entering audit though scary, tough and in away may be somewhat of an exploitation, 1) pays well, 2) really equips you with what you need to rise to the next level (knowledge, time management, boss and team management, client management etc) 3) has a much better and faster and structured career progression 4) has prestige when moving to the next company 5) pays for your education 6) builds character ;) 7) great networking if you are in the big 4\nCons 1) be willing to work and expect to work all the time 2) even less time for yourself 3) holidays are not really holidays 4) meeting shitty bosses, clients or team mates\nBut honestly, its how you see this as everything in audit will only equip you with the necessary skills to climb the corporate ladder. So i guess the only downside you will be working like crazy that sleep os a luxury.\nBut hey if you get through 4 years you will enjoy a much different life.\nWork hard play hard.\nPs. Honestly i do not buy into the gain experience bullshit your boss told you. If his starting pay is 1.8k. You will end up around 3.5k. 3-4 years down the road and probably end around 4-5k ish and stuck there after 10 years(provided no drastic inflation. A big 4 auditor fresh graduate salary is 4k. So yeah...\nDo let me know if you need more insights of the industry as I am an ex-auditor and currently in commercial accounting and finance :)\nBut all in all, i still believe if you have the right attitude, being proactive, ambitious, responsible and eager to learn and grow you can suceed wherever you are.\nOr you could try going into, banking, advisory, consulting, investment banking etc. These are somewhat related to your degree and probably will give you a more challenging role with more benefits\nAll the best bro" ], [ "Get good at your job quickly.

Once you enter the house, if you're not already someone who loves exercise, it's a very small possibility that you will be leaving the house again to do it or doing it at home.\nTry to find a gym near your house or on the way home from work. Or better yet, near your work so that the jam will clear up by the time you're done at the gym. Bring an exercise bag everyday even if you don't plan to go, so that you can go anytime at your convenience. For example, I like to go 3 times a week at least, but I don't force myself to go on certain days, I just try to reach that quota.

Feel charged up because I was exposed to so much different cultures during that time, did yoga, meditated, slept well, then back to the grind rest grind rest cycle until burn out again.\nSave up and invest aggressively enough to buy your freedom in early 40ies (getting there). Find small hacks daily to make life more enjoyable - good food, small expensive milestone gifts for myself, always have a group of coworkers u like to work with, interesting podcasts to make the work commute more tolerable. Ask boss for flexi time, esp if in MNC GLC. I myself have given my staffs 7 to 4 and wfh days cos she has to jaga anak.\nAlways maintain your friendships and relationships during the weekend even if all u wanna do is iron your clothes and do yr laundry. Later in life, if u earn more, hire domestic help\nI guess that's how most ppl cope when locked down to 9 to 6.
