Time for appraisal

It is time of the year again.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been looking at the possibility of having a new job and attended a few interviews.

There was an offer but in reality it is not a good deal even though the job pays higher.

I do have second thoughts all these while because I had been slaving for more than 6 months towards this year’s bonus. It will not be worth it to lose the compensation for all the hard work I’ve put in.

And so I wait…

Today is going to be my turn to do my appraisal with the boss. I wish he is the boss of the company and not some middle management who cannot do much to help his subordinates.

In today’s newspaper, there is a report that says “RM3,000 is poverty line for the urban poor”. In it they are referring to family with 3 children, car loan and mortgage loan.

Are these people sleeping or what? In KL, for a household with RM3000 cannot even afford to own a property.

RM3000 is poverty line for single urban people who owns a car (1 litre capacity), has life and medical insurance, a retirement fund and a studio apartment mortgaged to the bank.

First Anniversary

I remember mine. We went for movie and seafood dinner.

Someone else’s anniversary … new camera from boyfriend, go to some shopping mall, a night stay at a resort in KL, dinner for two, party with friends etc.

I bought my own camera on my anniversary.

For some parents whose daughter has  a bf who is rich and successful at a young age, they let her stay with him, go holiday, move in… anytime!!

I can guarantee this 100%.
