About the infamous affair

So, the latest news was the wife have forgiven the husband.  It was announced on Instagram.  Those who are aware of this, would know who I am talking about.  While it has nothing to do with me, neither a fan of any of those involved,  I feel the need to say this from my heart. To the wife, the purportedly victim in this whole incident. I know you have forgiven him and you did it based on your religion.  But I hope you know that no matter how religious a person, if he wants to cheat, he would not think of his religion at all. While he tried to hide his actions, he did daringly do it in a public transport.  Was he thinking of you at that time?  Was he even thinking of his religion?  No, I don't think so.  Even if there wasn't a camera in the taxi/Uber/Grab, the driver is a human right?  And the driver can report this to media right?  But your husband never thought about the consequences at all when he decided to openly kiss another woman in the car when the whole wor

The ugly side of the corporate world

I don't know why last year around this time, I was faced with some conflict with some people and was crying my eyes out for few days, mind you.  And this year, the same thing happened but with different group of people. In summary, what happened was I was overlooked for a promotion.  I would be lying if I said I wasn't expecting it.  I was.  And I hope there will be a big jump in my salary.  But no. In detail, the secrets of the underlying decision of who to be promoted was so ugly.  It was disgusting.  A person is not promoted based on his/her merits or contributions to the company or performance at work.  KPI was just a show.  A person was promoted because the boss like him/her.   Fine.  It's not like I didn't know the ugly side of this.  I have seen enough TV dramas to understand.  But to happen to me, I really didn't know how to face it or react to it. I was frustrated, angry and disgusted.  In fact, I felt betrayed.  Why?  Because both my colle

Happy April's Fool Day!

Hello!  I haven't written since January 2019.  Lots had happened, mostly exciting.  Because of that 1 week holiday that I took to go China with the family, there was so much of backlog to do till today.   Today's post is all about my inner being, what's in my heart.   Past few days, I was feeling a bit down.  Got my letter of increment and found that the increase was quite disappointing.  Not that it was different from other years.  It has always been 5%.  But somehow, this year, I felt different. Since January, I feel my pay is way below what I deserved.  The company had refused to promote us simply because there are too many managers at the moment and promoting me means they have to promote the others same level as me.  My last promotion was in 2012.  So working for 7 years and no promotion since then. But, my job scope is the work of a manager.  I mean, who else can review the work of another manager if not a manager itself, right?  But my title tells me
