the true meaning of merdeka

Maybe it has become a trend. Every Merdeka, I am emancipated.

Last year's Merdeka, I got merdeka-ed alright. The big D took place on September 1st. And this year's Merdeka, after working on the company's Merdeka Ad (which I love!!!), I resigned. My last day will be on September 2nd.

Yes, I stayed on for only two months in this company. I think I've come to that age where I don't tolerate sh*t that I don't like anymore. When I'm younger I can take a lot of all that, but at this age, my happiness is more valuable than anything else. And now, at this moment, I finally understood the meaning of "Money isn't everything."

Don't ever do this at the dinner table...

Berry yang sangat jahanam. Do not ever agree if your boss gives you one of these...

The main reason why I quit my job was because I felt like I've sold my soul to the company. I was thinking about work 24/7, even when I'm not working. Even in my sleep. And as soon as I wake up in the morning the first thing I reached out for was my Berry. The Diver bore the brunt of this, our relationship was a bit strained... I get edgy most of the times and he became my punching bag. I couldn't risk ruining this relationship, so I decided it's time to call it quits. And as my boss always says "Rezeki ada di mana-mana". He says it with such conviction that it actually did motivate me to quit :p So any of you bosses out there, never say that to your staff unless you want them to leave la...

Our cool crib...

And this year, this Merdeka, we moved in our Nong Chik Retro Rumah, JB. We've officially moved, without the kids first. So there'll be a bit of shuttling in between JB and KL until maybe after Raya. I thank The Diver for picking such a perfect house for us. The house is soooo Mr and Mrs Seademon - quirky, old school, cool and besar.. Hahah....

What a difference a year makes.
