I was reading Today's Voices column where a someone wrote in about the treatment her father received as a senior worker.

In an instance, it reminded of my late father.
I remembered the time when he was released by his company after he was struck down by a serious illness. He recovered though after that.
Having work for years, staying home is not something he looked forward to even though that was what his children wanted him to.
He pride himself as a independent man, so he worked as a cleaner, one of the few jobs he qualified for in this place where educational level is everything.
He didn't last very long. It was only after his passing that through my mum, we found out that he was made to carry heavy loads which he can't afford anymore considering his age.
That was almost 13 years ago. Nothing has changed in this place where money is everything and we are simply numbers filling up that profit making machine.

Nasi Padang River Valley
I seriously do not understand what the hype is all about.
Maybe it used to be nice but from what I had recently, it was far from it.
I went there more than once therefore my comments are not based on a one off.
The cuttlefish and liver tastes only of vinegar.
The beansprouts was super salty.
The sambal goreng was diluted.
The fish asam pedas tastes like curry.
The rest of the dishes was nothing special.
And they charge more than they should, considering how the food tastes.
The only positive points I can think of is that they are consistent, if you like the food.

Back to school
3rd term starting 25th of this month and feeling is neutral. Not that looking forward to it or otherwise. Too much things happened that dampens whatever spirit I have left.
Not sure how many of classmates made it although I know I'll be seeing Vincent.
My request for another module to be added, which is on a Monday, was granted. So it's 1-3-5 now. The more days I'll be coming home late, the better it is. Less contact, less friction. Simple laws of physics.
Hate classes on Friday as that is the day I normally stay back late at work to finish up stuff that I can't during normal days.
Maybe it's telling not to put work to high up on the priority list anymore and instead on things that leads towards real happiness. Work have been that for many years and have seldom failed me.
