Woman Driver..

Just like last week, I was late. I had to wait for a train that will only come every 30 minutes and then run to the bus terminal to hop on a bus to Damansara, but with a long queue and the bus that will only come every 30 minutes as well was impossible for me to reach college in 1 hour.
And today, when hopped on the bus, I saw something that makes me think a lot. I was clinging to the pole beside me and as I look around, I saw the bus driver’s face. I was kind of surprised the driver is actually a woman. I know this is normal for my seeing a woman driving a bus in my hometown, but in a metropolitan city like this?
From then on, I kept thinking how does she managed to control every single person that got into the bus she’s driving and how does she manage to actually get into a job like this as she is a woman. Loads of questions run through my mind. What makes her think this is the right job for her? Or maybe this is what she HAS to do. How about her children? It was early in the morning, and she has to assists her children to go to school.
It is an interesting topic to talk about. I guess some of us don’t realize that women are as strong as men. In my opinion, this woman does what she has to do. Because, no woman likes to be somewhere they’re not supposed to. I mean come on, cliché’ thinking
says that the job is only for a man. But then another thing came up, how about a job like a Minister or even President? These job don’t necessarily need a man to do these job because women have more specific, clear and detail thinking. So thumbs up to women.
I can conclude that today, I learned something. Job doesn’t always come to us just like that. To achieve it, something must be done and that is that. Balancing with our ability, passion and effort gives us major chance of getting to where we are intending to go, or what do we want to be.

Introduction

It is very interesting that people on earth have varieties of identity. Some of them dance a lot, and some hurt themselves, but that is what make them unique and differentiate them from one another. Their identity sometime thrills us, but little we know that group of people have actually keep something interesting and may lead us to know more about life and teaches us how to understand their culture as well as ours.

By knowing the facts about them, and comparing both ours and theirs, will give us ideas to improve ourselves. For example, how they treat the eldest and young ones in their community will positively affect our life automatically if we really study the whys and hows.

In this assignment, we will try to discover one tribe that is anonymous. We were given a list of quotation about this society and our group will conduct a research. Our group will then search for information as much as we can based on academic and official books, journals and etc. After everything’s lined-up, we will then start to combine everything so that we are able to match and identify the characteristics and the culture.

At this point, we will start to make hypotheses and then an evidence-based and conclusive assumption about this society through a perspective of an ‘economist’. We find this job is very suitable for this work because a job as an ‘economist’ consists of knowledge about the relations between economy and life.

Then, from the hypotheses formed and research conducted we will try to figure out the exact tribe that been pointed out after all the quotation is define and then narrowed down to only one possibility. Lastly, we will conclude the thesis with our personal comments on our conducted research and the result we got.

I was late coming to class today. I was sweating all over my body as I ran here and there, catching the train and bus.
I realized that my life in the past week’s been so unarranged. Assignment and homework done last minute, my sleep time is limited and my effort to study starting to decrease every single day.
However, I won’t let my problem effects me anymore starting from now on. I’m going to start energizing myself. I am facing a huge problem now, but I will still try to continue giving my full commitment towards my study.
There’s nothing much we’ve done today in the class, but today Ms. Yeo Pei Li inserted a special touch in her slot. He invited someone special to give some talk about her lifetime experience, how she managed to be a successful as how she is today.
All I know was her name, which is Catherine (sorry if there’s a miss-spelling). She faced a lot in her younger years, financially and in life itself. However, she turned back to God and that helps her to face everything. To link it with how it motivates me is that, her spirit and determination towards education. The moment she performed her song, everybody sit still and no voices heard. That is the moment I realized that someone’s disadvantages could be their inspirations to be successful as they are today. It would never stop you to reach the goal of your life.
What we can conclude is that, if we just whine every single time and no effort comes out from ourselves, there’s nothing that we are able to achieve. Commitment, determination, and effort has to come together to be successful in the field we’re in.

new week...new problem

Last week was the ‘Raya’ week. I couldn’t attend any of the lectures for the whole week as I was in Sabah helping my family getting ready for the Raya celebration. It’s always a good feeling going back to our hometown, isn’t it? Even though it only takes a week or two. It eases the feeling of longing for our family and friends.

Looking at the people around us actually can trigger something in our mind. Like, when I was in my hometown, I and my friends did our own so-called ‘activity’, which is loitering around. We’ll find a place where we can see people around and we’ll start sitting and talking for hours. But, what makes that day different was the way I look at the people around me.

The moment I glanced at the society there in my hometown, I feel like so grateful that I am able to continue to achieve my dream by pursuing my study in the university. Then, I see a friend of mine. He’s two years younger than me, but he stopped his study before he could even finish his high school, it all happened after his mother’s dead. He got three elder brothers and a younger sister. His father still around but barely go and look out on his children because of his new family.

All of them have not been able to continue and even finish their high school because of the lack of financial support. However, by working day and night, then are now able to stand on their own.

I couldn’t imagine what will I be if I stand in their shoes. The challenges are hard, and they faced it by themselves. They are now looked mature enough to talk about finances and life because of the experiences they have.

Now, I realize that nowadays hard work is what matters most. By doing the best we can, we can achieve whatever we want or at least increases the quality of our life. For me, by examining ones experiences, I can take the positive and negative value of the outcome to be adapted to my life. By only examining my friend’s lifetime experiences, I learned a lot about life.
