Uber Pulls Out From Malaysia

It's very unfortunate that Uber is sold to Grab in Southeast Asia. I like both, but for now I love Uber more. When Uber gives promo code, Uber tends to be sincere and the code is yours. You can claim it anytime you want, anywhere you want. When Grab gives promo code, you'll have to fight for it because it operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, which means most of the time I fail to claim the promo code given. On the other side, for every payment u made, Grab offer reward points that I can use to redeem a range of stuffs, while Uber doesn't offer point collection. Because I'm a student now who is basically unemployed, I love Uber more, because I can have many free rides.

It's sad that Uber is sold to Grab. This is not good for competition and definitely not good for the growth of e-hailing service in Malaysia because there is a dominance by a party. But there's nothing I can do. I'll just have to use Grab until I graduate and I do hope Grab can improve.

Lauv - I Like Me Better





The instrument part (the chorus) (p/s I really don't know the term) has been an earworm and bugged me for weeks.



It just stuck in my brain because of its tune and tone. I didn't know what's the name of the song, and I couldn't recall a single line of the lyrics to google. I tuned into Fly Fm to try to maybe hear the song again - I didn't even know when it got stuck in my brain and when I first heard it - but Fly Fm didn't play it.



Until today, when I tuned into Hitz Fm and this song was played. Finally, I know what song it is and to be honest, it's a great song! So I'm sharing it here for you guys to listen to this amazing piece of music (to my standard, it's awesome).

First Job Offer

I applied for a job two months ago. For weeks there were no replies and suddenly, one day, the director of the boss called me for a preliminary interview. I was flabbergasted, stunned and momentarily speechless.

First of all, I did not expect them to reply at all. I didn't meet any of the criteria they spelt out.

Secondly, it had been two months and I have given up.

Thirdly, damn, the director's the one that called!

Well, the boss offered me the job but due to varying circumstances, it isn't what I am expecting and he's arranging something else for me. It's not exactly a bad offer, but it's not a safe take.

Interview is in July. I guess I'll decide then. In the meantime, I have applied for another firm, and I'll wait and see if there's any replies.

范瑋琪 悄悄告訴你





有些歌,听了就是很有感触,很感动。

本少爷是没谈过恋爱啦,错过爱情的滋味是怎样的我是不知道啦。可是这首歌真的就是一级棒。百听不厌。

就是喜欢这类型的歌。感情丰富,几乎没有杂音噪音,简简单单就靠着歌手自己的感情去唱出一首充满丰富感情的感人歌。赞!
