I am home!
It has been awhile since I am away from home, and while most of the things remain very familiar to me, some seems to differ slightly from what I imagine seeing them now. For example, probably its because I have been looking at generally taller people around me, I kind of felt as if I am taller than before I went to england right now. When I measured myself against a crappy measuring tape, it told me that I am an inch taller then I was, but still, i felt as if I had grown a whole lot more.
Another thing that comes to my attention is that it seems as if all the people I know having a break from studying abroad are all DESPERATELY searching for an internship. I guess influenced by the students in UK or US, we realise the importance of going for an internship rather than having a holiday work. It is really rather shocking when I heard that almost none of my friends in malaysia are intending to go for one.
Also, CIMB is NOT CIMB Bank, the red bank you see everywhere offering banking services to the rakyat, it is an investment bank, to be exact, the 'best investment bank in malaysia' (Finance Asia 08). I went for an interview today but unfortunately, they digged out my parents' occupation and now I think I do not have much of a chance going there for an internship because there's a conflict of interest. BOo. Why should I be discriminated for my parents' occupation?!! Anyway, they haven't give me an answer so I really hope despite the LITTLE problem there I will still be able to join CIMB. Ignore also the fact that they only pay me 700 ringgit per month.
Malaysia is such a sad country. What is the point of free speech when, raising an unfavourable but true point is considered wrong or when the politicians are being told they are not doing a good job, the PUBLIC is wrong to point it out? If they only want to hear good things about them, and telling off (or rather, threatening) the people from voicing out their dissaticfactions, when will our country improve? Former PM accusing current PM for not being able to manage the country, V-PM has a court case against him deciding the possibility of him being involved in a murder case, and the PM's nephew who is reported having his eye on the PM seat is also being scrutinised for his involvement in bribery. What is happening to our leaders?
Sometimes I feel, it will probably be better for me to stay in Msia after I graduate and work here, but i might feel so frustrated with all these politicians who- in their attempts to step over each other to gain control, affecting the rakyat's life in the process- that I would rather work in some foreign country. You can see that I am no big fan of favouritism, or rather, 'Bumi's special rights' (which now includes helping the Indians, excuse me, shouldnt it be helping the poor regardless of race, rather than, you chinese, you no need help!); I am also no big fan of the current Msian's least favourite figure: 2.70. Tell me Msia is an oil producing country, I wouldnt believe you.
