Depression.. The word itself doesn't seem encouraging or uplifting .  Every once in our life, we are bound to fall into such a traumatic experience. It's like being trap in a hole where even the slightest optimistic value has its shadow and we believe that nothing, NOTHING can cure this bitterness. Depression has its causes. Some could be through the loss of someone, something, regret, loneliness... Can it be cured? Absolutely. We will all get by it, even I did. But it's not easy.  This is a sensitive topic and I'm no expert. But here , I am going to share some points on how I cope (and eventually overcome) depression. 1. Evaluate the situation and recognise the problem. Why are you depressed? Is it because you're not accepted? Your source of happiness is no longer there and you feel like your purpose is gone and you are just merely existing? Are you lonely? Because no one agrees with your view and everyone just uses you ...

Click below, to access the list of lessons for Beginner level :) Beginner || Learn Malay Through English || --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello my lovely readers, welcome back to another lesson on the Malay language. How have you been? :) Being the only child in the family, I do not have my share of experiences when it comes to growing up with a sibling. The competition, the daily war, the mutual understanding between one another... I do not know what it feels like. Till today, whenever I watch a show or movie, hear the daily bickering of my friends with their sibling or even read a story showcasing sibling rivalry or beautiful moments regarding this, I often find myself wondering what it would be like to have a sibling..  One who could lead me, or one I could lead.. My best friend. Bu...

Click below, to access the list of lessons for Beginner level :) Beginner || Learn Malay Through English || -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone! Here's another lesson on the Malay Language. Apa khabar? :) Well, my theme here would be "What languages do you speak?" So my fellow readers, what languages do you speak? Personally, I have always been fascinated by languages.  It never fails to amaze me to see someone communicate in various languages.  Being Malaysian myself, I grew up in a multiracial community, united by the common languages spoken, English and Malay, without neglecting to be fluent in their own mother tongue as well.  However, it does not stop there, as we grow up and move on to pursue our education, we learn a little about each other's culture by ...

What Is The Public Education System Like In Malaysia? Well, for my experience at least :) I was born into an interracial household, my mom being Filipino and my dad, a Malaysian. Nevertheless, I experienced the education which most Malaysians do. I went to a public school.  I moved to Johor Bahru when I was a toddler at around the age of 1 and lived in a company's quarters. Life was not easy as I wasn't exactly born into an average family since my family was heavily indebted by credit cards due to frivolous expenditure.  With that being said, I never had the opportunity to learn any musical instruments like most do at a young age. I missed my chance at learning the ballet and swimming. Themeparks were expensive, even travelling to visit my grandparents and extended family in the Philippines was expensive.  However, things took a toll at the age of 11 when we moved out of our then location of company's quarters to a different location.
