Random thought of the day


Reading a news about nowadays graduates' salary gave me some thought of myself. Yes, many young adults are barely getting by with a starting salary of RM2000 including me. Make a point, my salary is not even more than RM1000 so it's more hardly for me to survive in this society especially after the implementation of GST. I'm lucky to find a job in my hometown although somehow the salary is quite low but I had survived. Before this I had think of moving out to better place with higher salary but after a long thought I gave up because moving out to other place is not as easy as you think.

Malaysian Trade Union Congress secretary-general N. Gopal Kishnam agrees that having a university degree is not enough anymore as degree holders are not paid according to their qualifications. Yes, I think the world has changed. People nowadays are more looking toward for the job experience rather than your education. But I don't said higher education is not necessary. Yes, you need one in order to survive. The boss would probably choose the highest education, I guess. But when it come to A with highest education of Diploma but poor communication skill (which prolly he/ she can't even talk in front of people) while B with highest education of SPM but with excellent communication skill and had more experience than A, I bet the boss would choose B. When I grew up I started to think back the advised that my mum gave me, study hard get a good score and you will find a job with a high salary. For me, I don't really think it is necessary to have a really high education unless you are really excellent in everything you do then #lifegoal.

He urges graduates to be more competitive in the job market by brushing up on their English as a weak command of the language is still a stumbling block. I always said I like English more than other languages because I think it is an international languages where everyone can connect to each other. Talking in English and even can write a good English essay made me feel like living in high standard life, lol. So, I blog and mostly write in English but since nobody nearby me speak English so I just watched some English TV show to learn their pronunciation. My friends said English is my strengths but I don't think so because there are still more to learn like my vocabulary is really sucks, I just like writing in English. That's all. English is extremely important in order to survive too. Like I visited my sister at Kuching last month and the people at there mostly speak English and I was like OMG! need to make more improvement. Sometimes I hope I was born American-Chinese or studying in sort of international school, lol.

“More time is needed before one can save up to buy a car and house. You will not automatically get everything after graduating,” he says. Yes, I am totally agreed with this but unless you are lucky one then other story. After graduating I am much worry that I can't even get a job, a proper job. I don't know what I want to be and what I need to do. I am hopeless and even dilemma for a week. I don't like the feeling of growing up, the world is so complicated. Fresh graduates needed to be reminded that they should move slowly from the below, climbing slowly up to the TOP! Well remember not to fall down. I have a hard dream which is buying a car for myself but with a salary of under RM1000 it is impossible so I start to save at least RM200 each month and I don't really know when I can buy one. But I always said to myself good thing are worth to wait. When the time come, you will get what you want.

Malaysians should practise better financial management to deal with the rising cost of living, he adds. I had try to do a financial planning like every month I jot down all the expenses and I try not to overspent so that I had extra money for next month before the company bank in the salary. But it only last for one month because I can't barely look the amount I left and the amount I spent. I am Taurus which mean I feel insecure if I don't have money on me. So I don't really jot them down these days. I mostly used the money for important stuffs first like buying food (you know you need them to survive), car petrol which I mostly spent RM200 each month, parking coupon, phone bills and etc. These day I had been learning to cook myself and bring them to work because it is really costly to eat outside every time. I try and once and I spent RM10 on food each day which mean if I eat outside every month I would spent RM310 on food! It really save up a lots if you bring home-cooked food to work.



Well, I don't know why I wrote this post. Just my random thoughts.
