They say...

Never Go Back...

Don't go back to your previous company, knowing full-well the reasons you left.

If there's one thing good about being Chinese, is that our philosopy of life can be tied down to the ONE principle: Life should be a process of progress. If you are a degree holder, your son should be at least a double-degree holder...

And if you are already that far in your life, don't turn back. Push on forward.

That's why, there is no way a son is going to ask his dad to stay in a smaller house.

We strive and labour and toil and suffer so that we may see brighter days ahead. Jumping over obstacles, swerving to the left and right dodging bullets, and when all that fails, we knock the obstacles down, even if it's going to take our lives. That is the determination that we must have, that is the philosophy we must live by.

That is why, wherever there is a big population of Chinese people, there is a messed up economy. Because our determination for a better tomorrow will help us make sacrifices for our future generations. We are willing to work for a meagre salary, and suffer in the short term, so that our sons and daughters may have the necessary education and tools to succeed in life.

That's why, in UK, part-time wages have dropped to an all-time low... 7-10 years ago, no one would work part-time at the local fish and chips for anything less that 7 sterlings per hour... Now, since the Chinese nationals have been flocking in, no one dares ask for anything more than 4 pounds...

Yes, I've done my homework... almost went over for a jump... The common notion is 'Why become a second class citizen in Malaysia when you can be a second class citizen in UK?'

It's been 100 years now since my ancestors first set foot on the shores of Malaysia, and still we find ourselves treated as second class citizens. Shameful... and to say that we have been an independent nation for 48 years now, it's much more shameful when you think about why we are still not a Bangsa Malaysia. More than 3 generations have passed since the British 'Divide and Conquer' policy, and yet, we are still divided?

something must be wrong...

Now how did I find myself here???
