I m back

Finally, I m back.
After months of hibernation and almost loosing my account login info.... I m finally back !

Right.
Now , what should I write about this time.....
I've actually applied for a job in a very promising continent recently.
I actually missed the opportunity previously when they called ( I'm guessing is them as no number was shown on the screen ). Stupid DIGI and ***, gang up to block receptions......
Anyway, when I check again after the posting deadline, they reposted the vacancy, & this time I applied with a much higher expected salary, :-P
The deadline is just around the corner, I can't wait for them to call and listen to what they offer.

I've been researching on this continent and it's neighbouring country. With Google & the internet, you can practically look for where the place is and how much would the accommodation cost.
Looks like the expected salary I put in won't make much of a difference after the local tax and social security deductions. If stay in the neighbouring country, might be a commuting problem.
and... the expected salary I put in is already at the higher end of the typical scale.

Sigh..... may be let's wait & see.

Today is supposed to be pay day and mine is still not reflected in my account yet. *&@%^#$
Money, is everything to me. Without it, I can't live happily and achieve my now most wanted dream sooner.
Everyday, the more I think of this, the more I become frustrated.
If you think earning a RM3k+ / month in KL will buy you a nice non-national car & a house, you better think again.
Even if your wife & you earns about RM5k a month will not be enough !
What has happened to this part of the world. Blame it on the policy maker?
As an engineer in this regoin, I can not help but feel lousy....
Work is high end, study is hardwork, but pay and recognition isn't that much to brag about and feel proud about.

Where do all this people get that kind of money from to push all the prices of the houses up , up & up ? Foreign investor with now the GOV making it easier?
I only hope the US economy will bear badly next year and re-level everything.
Till then, let's pray the Gold price will hold steady / drop slightly for now.
