Touched down, with full of excitement and also expectation about this city which is just 45minutes away by flight from Kuala Lumpur. Singapore is such a beautiful and clean country and everything here are so well organized especially their public transportation. Well, this was not my first time here but don't why this small country never fail to amazed me every time when I am here!

I am so sorry that I can't help it to compare Singapore with my lovely country, Malaysia! Singapore, a very small country compare to Malaysia; both also under British colonial rule last time; was also part of us before becoming an independent republic. BUT how come Singapore can outgrew Malaysia by leaving us so far behind from them!

Anyway, I am still PROUD to be MALAYSIAN! I^-^I

Malaysia, Tanah tumpahnya darahku!

*Malaysia, the land where my blood has spilt!

Besides than my own mother tongue and English, I can speak one additional language that known as Bahasa Malaysia *Malaysian Language And I am so proud that I can speak, write and sing in this beautiful language. Then, I can also eat variety of foods in Malaysia; from North Indian food to South Indian food and from Malay food to Nyonya food. And 'Curry Mutton' is one of favorites! ;)

And do you know what make Malaysia so beautiful? Of course, nothing but the Malaysian! Words are hard to describe about Malaysian, let's look at the pictures below and you will understand about the beauty of being Malaysian:-

We share a common language that help us to understand each other. We have different culture and believes but that didn't stop us for being together as one community; we are taught to respect each other since we were young! ;) That's why Malaysian are so UNIQUE and special!

God bless Malaysia! ;)

Honesty is STILL the Best Policy

I always like to tell people that the consequences of telling the truth will never be as bad as the consequences of getting caught in a lie! Well, not many people buy my words! I understand that telling the truth can be very difficult at times especially in some situations where it might cause you something. BUT what happen if you lie and at the end someone catch you lying? Remember, it is always okay to admit that you're wrong because you will never know what would be the outcome, it can be bad and it can be good too! But if you lie, it definitely shows that you are wrong and the outcome will only be one, nothing but the bad one!

Today, I went to a fast food restaurant with my mum! We ordered a set dinner for two person that comes with two drinks. Half way through the dinner, I was run out of drink and I ordered another glass. After the dinner, I went to counter to make payment. After the payment, I checked the receipt and I found out that something was not right. They didn't charge me for the additional drink! Seriously, my mum and I were hesitated to go back to the counter again to clarify the bill. I can give reason to walk away easily because it was not my mistake and they were the one who forgotten to charge me for the additional drink.

But I paused for a while, holding the receipt and thought to myself that maybe one day, I might be coming back to this restaurant again and what if the waitress and cashier can recognize me? Although it was their mistake but it is not etiquette to walk away like that. So, in the end, I approached the cashier who is also the boss of that restaurant and told him about the miscalculation of the bill. He asked me to wait for a while because he needed to clear some dirty plates. After that, he came to me and he said, "never mind about the additional drink!" so the additional drink was on the house! Although the drink don't cost much but I was really happy and feel so blessed!

So, as you can see that honesty still very much the best policy!
