                        MASALAH KEHIDUPAN TIDAK PERNAH SELESAI



Kita sentiasa melanda masalah dalam hidup, selalu inginkan jalan yang mudah untuk menyelesaikan masalah itu. Kadang kala kita pikir kenapa la jadi pada kita, padahal kita tahu yang semua halangan ada hikmah dia. Namun kita masih merungut, mengapa ?. Mungkin kah kita tak cukup kuat untuk menampung halangan seharian yang diberi oleh Tuhan ???. Atau tidak ada tulang belakang nak sokong kita. Bagi pendapat saya itu semua adalah alasan. Tuhan kan ada, minta pada Nya, Tuhan tak pernah tidak tolong hamba Nya.


Did you know the Malaysian passport is eighth best in the world? Together with our abundance of public holidays, it's no wonder we have such an insatiable thirst for travelling.


Malaysian passport was ranked the eighth best in the world for travellers in a recent survey, based on the number of visa-free countries its holders can travel to out of 174 destinations. According to the 2014 Visa Restrictions Index, holders of Malaysian passports can travel to 166 countries without visas; compared to Finland, Germany, Sweden, USA and the United Kingdom passports which can access all 174 destinations visa-free.
With 14 national holidays covering 16 days, Malaysia is in the global top 10 in terms of number of public holidays, with one survey ranking us at seventh.

If anything, the fact that AirAsia has flown over 300 million guests (!!!) alone is able to prove that point. Everyone can fly, indeed.

AirAsia, the world’s “best low-cost airline” for seven consecutive years, reached another milestone with 300 million guests flown. AirAsia reached its 100-millionth milestone in October 2010, and celebrated the 200-millionth mark three years later in September 2013. In a little less than two years, the number of guests flown across the group has grown to 300 million.

It's hard to resist the temptation to jet off either for a quick trip or a nice, long travel when there are promos happening all year round to countless destinations

It's also a reality that many would choose to travel, study and live abroad. In 2010, it was reported that there are 700,000 Malaysians living abroad.

About 700,000 Malaysians are currently living abroad, with half of them in Singapore, while the rest can be found mostly in Australia, Britain and the United States.

However, whether it's been years or months overseas, there is still an unspoken bond that unites Malaysians even when we're in foreign lands - even when we could be complete strangers

You know when you see an Asian you're dying to hear the person say a "lah" or speak in that familiar Malaysian accent! There is a certain ease that comes naturally when meeting another Malaysian. The familiarity means that there isn't a need to explain things to each other and being amongst them always feels like being at home.

We may be far away from our homeland, but we can easily find comfort in the Malaysian communities in other countries

We just can't help but stick together! Many choose to become a part of a Malaysian society or association in university or the community they live in. It's comforting to know that you can easily identify and connect with your fellow compatriots. 

But really, it's so that you have people to celebrate Malaysian occasions and festive seasons with, so you don't feel like a sad, lonely person.
“There are Malaysian associations – be it for social or business purposes – in many parts of the world. These are effective platforms that bring fellow countrymen together for common purposes,” explains Lim [the wife of High Commissioner of Malaysia to Ghana

When the homesickness hits, we cure it the best way we know how - recreating our favourite Malaysian dishes

It's no secret that Malaysians love food and eating. This relationship that we have with our culinary haven is so ingrained in our daily lives and our way of life, it's hard to part with even when we're abroad. It's almost an impossible task to find a person who doesn't miss Malaysian food while they are away. We also can't help ourselves but to introduce and share our delicious and unique cuisine with foreigners.
When there's good food, the best to throw into the mix is to have good company to share those delicious noms with. When Malaysians host get-togethers, you know that there's gonna be lots of eating, laughing, sharing of stories and reminiscing the good times. Also, did we mention lots of eating, yet?

Suddenly the things that annoyed you about Malaysia makes you miss it more, and you also realise the things you have been taking for granted

The thought of your mum's nagging and how she would have overreacted brings a smile to your face. That special brand of sense of humour only Malaysians will get doesn't seem so lame and embarrassing anymore. After seeing the malls in other countries, maybe the ones back home aren't so bad after all. Suddenly the smallest and most trivial things about home are able to pull at your heartstrings.

However, what really hits home is when there's a big celebration or festive season back home, and there you are, in a different timezone

You miss birthdays, anniversaries, special traditions back home. When it's Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Hari Raya or any other festivity, your Facebook timeline gets flooded with photos of friends and families back home celebrating together, while you're miles away.
When it's holiday time where you are and you see locals returning home to their families also makes you miss that warm, fuzzy feeling of celebrating the holiday with your loved ones back home.
