Experiences of Foreign Workers in Malaysia

In this piece from The Star, we can read about what goes on in the minds of immigrant workers in Malaysia.

We can see the wages that these workers receive in the industries they’re in. Heck, some of them earn quite an attractive sum! I’ve always had much respect for the average foreign worker. They tend to save religiously and be very prudent in spending their money. I wish I had such discipline.

Upgraded to WP 1.5.1

Just upgraded to WordPress 1.5.1 (downloadable here) a few hours ago. Everything works fine so far.

I’ve also added the Random Bloglink section to the sidebar. Basically it’s a randomly generated link to a blog on the BlogShares network.

Happy Mothers Day

To all mothers out there, Happy Mothers Day. This is a very special day to appreciate, cherish and express your love to that one person who brought you into this earth.

Some of us might not be so lucky, and have lost our mother a long time ago, or perhaps even recently. Others are even worse off, by not even having memories of their mothers. Some might even have only bad memories of their mothers.

All in all, today is just one of those days where you have to count your blessings. And when I do, no matter what my mom has said or done in the past, that may have been very hurtful, I still do love her unconditionally.
