GST... Good or Bad???

Goods and Services Tax...

A week more before it will be fully implement here, lots of debate arose. Lots of complaints arose. Lots of anger arose. Many people giving their opinions about this and gave lots of bad words to the government.

Well, I don't blame those people though. It's kinda drastic action from my opinion. Even though the government said it isn't caused they already promoting GST since couple years ago, but I still think it is. Why? Because the list of items that will be taxed under GST are a lot and mostly what people consume everyday. They said they don't touch necessity items but almost half (from my reading) are necessity items that people consume everyday. Definately people will get mad because you just incerease their household monthly spending and they cannot avoid it anymore.

Second; 6% for the first implementation is quite high. If they starts it will a lower percentage I think people won't be this mad at the government. They are too greedy to implement GST when they skip the baby steps and straight away go for kid's running. Dude, greedy will make you fell hard some day!

The problem with these ambitious politicians is that they don't see what's the problems why the citizen against GST. From my small view, I can clearly see that Malaysian isn't ready for GST yet. The information that they given to the public isn't enough. When people starts questioning, they should prepare answers not avoiding the questions (an act of coward for me). When you collecting a large amount of money from PEOPLE, you should tell them clearly what are you going to do with them.

Unfortunately untill now, I still don't understand the main PURPOSE of implementing GST. Why we have to bear that tax? Where the money will go? Who will handle the money? And most importantly, as a CONSUMER, what other BENEFITS I will get from this implementation? I can't found the answers for these easy questions.

Found some answer but its very cliche answers anyway.

If you look at the picture, I'm sure many people won't just accept the answers. Its very generic and cliche! I don't want to argue one by one the 'benefits' that they provide but the very obvious one, to educate the people to be wise in spending? Like seriously?!! You don't want people to spend and circulate the money in the market? You want to make the borrowing institutions fell down?  Or you want the people will have lifetime loans to support everyday life spending.  Actually, I don't know how they catogerize the items. I saw lots of necessity items (from my view) will be taxed and some items that related to necessity also been listed. If you think carefully, it looks like the necessity items that will be taxed.

From my personal opinion (as a book lover), certain books that will be taxed will kill the reading habit that keep decreasing among the Malaysians. Educational or not, they are the one that encourage people to read. You will give your kids a comic to attract their attention to reading at first place, you won't give a thick dictionary to make them read. Thats why I said these people are too ambitious and love to skip early steps.

But I'm not going to say its totally bad, as an accounting student, I know how big the impact of GST that will generate the income for the country. How this will reduce the manipuation of reported income to the Inland Board Revenue. How this will avoid the manipulation from the manufacturer reagarding the cost and avoiding the big companies to kick out small companies. I do understand that. I do understand how the calculation will be and I do understand how the transactions will go. I also do understand that how this will give a big impact towards the accounting field. An honest accounting!

However, as a citizen, sorry I can't see much benefits there.

Above all, I really disappointing how people condemn the government. They talked based on their feelings without thinking at all. C'mon people, prices will always increase. You don't expect it will go down do you? Its kind of impossible to decrease the prices but you can control it, so that it won't be a drastic increment. I'm not taking side of the government cause I also do feel affected by it. But choose wisely your words when you express your feelings, cause thats represent how your mind works!

Arguing based on your situation mostly is very selfish! Its kinda like a 'short thinking' people do (sorry to say). Say things with rationality, with unbiased mind, with analyzed thought. Thats how you can help to improve situations. Don't just make things worse. We are not politicians. Like Tun M said, you cannot be lazy in this century. Agreed! High cost of living. High competition. You just have to think forward and solve the problem.

Ready or not, GST will be implement starting this 1st April 2014. We just need to find courage to endure it and pray that miracle will happen. That it will be cancel later. *crossing fingers


*These writing just my opinions. I'm not here to condemn anyone or the government. This is how i express my feeling. Nothing more.

A fist is not for feast..!!

When the anger taking control...

Living in this civilized century, I never thought I still can found people that still depends on fist to live. I don't see them bad but for me, you have to know when you can use that fist. Don't use it as your every day routine. When the fist come out, means that you are losing control of yourself and of course it also means that you're losing control of your anger. Cause you won't feel you wanna punch people when you sad or happy right?
Do correct me if I'm too judgemental but is it right when your fist is working faster than your mind?? Let say, if one old man drive the car too slow because he was looking for a parking, and you happened to be behind his car. Is it right for you to knock the window and give a slap on his face first without sayig anything and ordered him to park faster caused he made a traffic jam behind him. I couldn't accept that! It show you how uncivilized the person are. Unfortunately that is a true story.
That guy actually boasted that he slapped the old man becaused he was driving slow. Dude, where is your manners???!! It's very annoying to hear that. There are few reasons why I really cannot accept that kind of act. First: my father also used to drive slow and when he was looking for a parking, the speed decrease till I felt that I'm still in driving school. So, I'm sure I don't want my father to get the same treatment like that. Its a fair treatment for me. I belive how you want to be treated, thats how you should treat people.
Second: We don't know what's going on in the car. Who know's maybe the driver has a headache that time, so the concentration to drive been disturbed. That's why he been very careful driving with that limited ability. Well, I know the examples sounds kinda nonsenses but you got my point. Just because you don't know the situation, you can't just depends on assumptions. Is it hard for you to knock and ask first whats going on and ask politely for them to park faster..?? I don't see anything wrong doing that.
I'm not saying that fist is not good at all. But maybe you can put it as your last options instead of the first one. Anger can destroy everything. Only those 'short-thinking' peopl don't see it as a problem. No matter how educated you are, how successful you are, if you cannot manage your anger, you can't work with people. To be employed...?? Not a chance! To work on your on..?? How you want to communicate with people with that anger?? I, myself don't want to be involved to that kind of people. You can't predict what they will do, I become very insecure around them.
Well, you never solve a problem with your anger by ur side. That's why anger management is very important. Its been promoted everywhere. My advice is simple, use ur mind first before other part of your body react. Especially for guys, you've been given 9 minds and 1 lust by Allah SWT. Don't let that one portion of lust taking control of that 9 portion of ur minds. Don't waste it just like that.
I pray to Allah SWT to avoid me to be around these kind of people. Because I don't have the ability and patience to handle these kind of people. Its very annoying. Before I also change and become like them, let me just be far from them. People say, your environment makes ur personalities. So if you don't want to be negative people, stay away from negative people.

*for those who knows me, they know why this story come out...

~another feeling~

I don't know how to say it. I really am lonely now. Scared as well. I don't know if this is what people call love. Its really not a nice feeling. I felt very insecure now. I really want him back in my life. I never forget to ask for a longer relationship with you everytime after prayer. I thought about this before, if you really are not for me, then I hope Allah SWT will erase you from my life. But the thought alone really scares me. So I no longer ask for that thing. I can't imagine my life without you around.

I always hope that we can bumped into each other without planning one day. But it never happens. Maybe this is the way that Allah SWT wanna tell me that he is never meant for me..?? And now, he is leaving me..forever! He seems happy with the plan that he is leaving this country. If we are living in the same state, yet we never meet once without planning. It is impossible to bumped into each other when we are the world apart.

I wonder, if he is really serious with me ever in his life. If he thinks that I don't take him serious now, I'm sorry cause twice that when I thought he is serious, I just a place that he came when he got no one. I really am scared to try again and to hurt again. Yet at the same time, I really don't wish to lose you. Now I really hope that he can read this blog and know what I feel about him.

I am lost! I don't know what to do now! I want you!!! I really really really want you!!! But I really afraid to even text you now. I'm afraid that to see how to response towards me. To see ur single reply really torturing me. I'm waiting for you to miss my presence, my text. I once consider to give you everything you want so that you will stay with me. But I also remembered that you said once to keep it for the right person. How I wish that right person is you.

Dear, I cannot wait anymore. I miss you so damn much. Please come back to me. I love you more than you ever imagine. Please...be my peacefulldevil. Forever!

White crayon on the white paper...

A smile can hide a thousand tears

He'll Never Know

I want to run, I want to hide.
From all the pain he caused inside.
I want to scream, I want to cry.
Why can't I tell him Goodbye?

I want to move on, I just can't let go.
I love him more than he will ever know.
I want to start over, I want to feel free!
But this pain will never leave me be.

He hurt me bad, the pain is deep.
From all the promises he couldn't keep.
All the lies, I heard him say.
Are in my head and just won't fade.

How can I forget him, leave the him behind.
Erase the memories from my mind.
He doesn't love me, and he never will.
He will never care, how I feel.

Its not easy to let go someone that had been in your heart for years. The presence and love never actually touch the heart. Then all the words you said to me just another lies from you..

You will never know how it feels when heard you talking about other girls. How u love her and how she meant everything to you.

You will never know how it feels when every words I responded to you slowly killing me inside. To encourage you to go to her.

You will never know how it feels when I said "I'm happy for you" yet when I turn around tear after tear went down my cheek.

You will never know how it feels when you just have to put a smile on the face and laugh on the jokes when deep inside everything scatterred. Turn into thousand small pieces that never be the same again.

You will never know how it feels when I knew that you're unhappy and heart broken, automatically my tears dropped and feel the same like you.

But among all, you will ever know how it feels when you'd been treat like a friend after all the years and effort you put to get the heart. Never more than that. Benn around you and act like nothing is wrong while I should avoid you till the end. 

People said, loving a person that doesn't love you back is like hugging a cactus, the tighter you hold on to it, the more it hurts. I guess I am that stupid girl that will have hard time letting you go. No matter how much I love you, I must hate you. But no matter how hard I try, I ends up being around you again. Then become hurt again and will forever be that stupid girl..

*I don't know why I write this. Read it again, I feels how pathetic I am right now. But it is  way to ease the burden in my heart. 

Please tell me why....!!!

A year of resting....

Finally...
It feels good to be back writing when I know no one is reading. Like I said before, this is my online diary.hahaha..there are a lot to share..
2014 had been a very memorable year for me. Went through my internship,back to finish up my last semester of my degree. Alhamdulillah, it all went well.. I don't know where to start to make one entry for what happened in a year and half..its really a lot of stories to share..hehe..

The Internship..
Nothing much to tell here. Made some good friends, joined new activities, and most of all, living a life that I never expected. I guess pics can tell how is it..

how time flies by... leaving us..

 It is very nice meeting new people, trying new environment. Lots of things that I learnt, the most important thing is that I learnt how to toughen up myself. To face the things that you hate, to put a smile and face the problem everyday. I waited patiently till my 6 months ends. Even on my last day, I still been scolded. That's the pressure of meeting deadlines that I just have to take it with a positive thought. Despite of all things that happened, I made friends. The one that with me going through the peak season, facing all the stress matters. I'm happy that I met them, and hopefully the friendship wont ends there.

A birthday celebration wont complete without pics..  ;)

During that period give me opportunity to join a new activity. A really nice one but I wont try it again for sure..hehe.. Met new people and enjoying the time :)

RAFTING..never imagine that I will try it one day..haha

My Last Semester

The last semester isn't that fun for me this time. I gave up debate, no more priority for debate. Plus I really don't have time for other things. Too many things happened. Too many projects to be completed, too many assignments to be completed but too little time to do it. Been wasted lots of energy and time to do it. The worst ever is that you have to deal with people in group projects.

To tell the truth, I really am tired with these people. A burden of the whole group been carried by only too little people. There are times I just leave the discussion, before my explosion starts. But look at the brighter side, it toughen up my emotional control. Teach me to handle pressure and people like that. 

Success as a team, fail as a team.

No matter what happened, we manage to finish up all the projects given. Proudly to brag that our group project's marks are higher then the other group that has brains there. Well, the dramas and conflicts is worth the marks then. I don't really care if its 'FAIR' among the team, as long as my marks is good, I'm open to negotiate with other things. Professional!

Our Convent Bukit Nenas Class.. ;)

Believe it or not,only these people left on the last semester in our class. Its not that others are drop out or what but just that they changed class. So here are the original members of my class that will 'loyal' to with the class till the end. Lots of conflicts in the class (well, what you expect from girls) but we manage it well. Time flies by, people changes, towards maturity in thinking and in their acts.

Close and crazy till the end..

But we not always be just us. There are always other people that join us in certain subjects. As we getting close with each others, we become more crazier between us. Yes, there is a junior that joined our class said 'kinda scared at first cause majority are girls, but you guys are really cool'. Thanks bro. You are our little brother, of cause we will take care of you..hehe.. ;)
Oh, ya, we really love your singing.. Wish we can hear that again.  Good luck for the rest of your study.

Together up and down in four years.

I never thought that I found good friends while finish up my degree. We understand each others. Together we cry, smile, laugh and success. Yeah, failed and cheating during tests also together..haha.. No one understands us better. Always be there for each other during hard time or fun time. I miss the girls already now. Praying to Allah S.W.T. bless our friendship till Jannah.
Whenever I feel unfortunate, I remember HE had given me his bless.. through my friendships and family. I cannot ask for more, HE knows what the best for me and I'm grateful with that.

Sulaimanians gathered at Sherry & Hassan wedding.

Before 2014 ends, finally I attended my friend's wedding. Its nice to meet up with people that I haven't meet for years. 6 years never meet these people after school ends. Luckily, I'm not the only one that agreed we should start attending weddings now..more and more of our friends getting married now..hehe.. Hope to see more old friends in future.
Once a Sulaimanian, always a Sulaimanian!


My BFF's E-Day

I'm happy that you found your soul mate.

She's been more than a sister to me. A best friend that you can always call anytime you need, who know all the secrets in your life, who know every story in my life. Our 17 years of friendship is one that I grateful the most. Whatever happened in your life, I'm proud that you still have not give up to find your soul mate. Whoever you choose, I hope you will be happy. If he thinks he can hurt you, remember, you have 4 brothers to protect you. And another sister that always be there for you. 

Before I end this post, really have to say this... You look lovely that day!!

I guess, I summarize everything that happened for 2014. Nothing much to tell now, I satisfied my crave for writing tonight. I think tomorrow, this blog will be my new online diary. 

Too many things that happened but unfortunately I'm not the kind of person that knows how to tell. Writing it here is just an option to share my stories and feelings. I don't mind if strangers read this and think that I'm just another crazy girl that love to share feelings..hahaha..  Cause I know, not many people will read my blog anyway..

Till we meet again....  

This is life...

Everything is about politics. Its doesn't matter if you are good enough, but if you don't know how to play well in the situation, you will be left out. This is not a place for you to learn. Maybe I'm weird for liking someone that many people hate but if at there I can learn and improve myself, I don't mind.

I'm not that kind of people that love to socialize. I'm not that kind of people that know how to lobbying. Technically, I'm not good with politics. That's why I'm taking accountancy instead of political science. I'm not good with words but when I said something, it will be precise and sharp!

Team bonding always important. We are family there!

For debating, I never lose passion towards it. But I do lose passion towards the club. Too much politics in the club. Who said only government has bureaucracy? A small club like this also has. If I say Dungun is worse, this is more worse because a small club like this has a political affairs that worse than a big debate club in Dungun. After a couple years I'm trying to blend in, now I'm giving up. I'm not getting any better, my performance getting worse, and I never been recognize in the club.

I'm not asking for neither power nor position but I don't like to be left out. Is it because I'm not socialize enough? Or just because I'm not pretty enough to get the attention. I have no idea. Only they know the answer. But I thing I know, I'm always there to help the debate club when they need it. But since it looks like it doesn't worth anymore, I better quit now.

Before I been hurt more, before I will suffer more. One thing that I never regrets, they taught me how to communicate with people. How to have networking. I know some people in the club do have networking too, but I believe my ability is better.

Will miss our moments on the ferry. Rhetoricans!

My senior once said, 'You should keep her in the club. She has the potential.' Thanks for that appreciation but I guess, only you saw that. Not others. And I can't wait much longer till people notice me. I don't like the idea of lobbying yourself. I believe, if you are good and talented, people will notice that.

Something much more important, my academic comes first. No matter how much I love debate, study always come before it. Caused in my professional, academic and experiences comes before confidence. 

I know there are lots of time I said i want to quit, but I never do that. This time, I think I will. Insha Allah. I'm tired of the politics in the club and I'm tired of 'socializing' which that is not me. Let me just be a Debater but also a student. Maybe it sounds simple but that's enough compared to those who only know how to talk without knowing how to do works!

A step for healthy life.

When I determine to get that, I will work hard for that...
that's should explain everything that I did during my holiday. Suddenly I become so obsessed to lose some weight. Not even that, I also kinda obsessed to look healthy.
I am lucky cause my best friend also in the same track with me. Want to lose some unnecessary weight. LOL. So the first thing we did is back to the jogging track. It was hectic for at first caused its been a long time that I didn't jog but its getting easier after a week.
However, its kinda funny when we first jog caused we spent more time enjoying ourselves taking pictures compared to jogging..haha.

We do love taking pictures.haha

There also some pictures taken by us. But I think she took more pictures than I do that day. Well, its a well known fact that she loves taking picture, so its not a surprise anymore. Its just a fine day to hang out with a friend that you always can trust and with a nice environment. The beautiful beach gave me such a peaceful mind. Lucky me caused my hometown does have lots of beaches. Nice beaches that you can always enjoy its breeze.

There are some of my pic for that day.

At the end of my holiday, even I, myself am surprised with myself. A consistent work and motivation does give me some result. At least I'm not gaining any unnecessary weight during the holiday. Now, even the class already started, I'm still in the same mission. Want to break the minimum weight that I used stuck with. Since i don't really allocate time yet for jogging, but already start diet to reduce the unnecessary food taken. LOL. However, jogging is still in the 'to do' list.

Enjoy your life and never take it for granted.

I'm grateful for every blessing that I had in life. Been blessed with a loving family, surrounded by understanding friends and the best thing, been blessed with a healthy life! Thank you Allah for all the blessing you give me! Alhamdulillah. :)
