Do you really know what you want in life? I'm always asking myself the same question over and over again and still.. i can't really answer that.
The reason for that is because in every different stage of my life, I want different things. I think that's pretty normal and it happens to everyone. Priorities changed when you start to grow older!
When I was at school, what I want in life is to have fun and at the same time to get good results so that I can gain entry to a good university. Looking back now, I really enjoyed my school days.
During my college years, my priorities changed. What I want then was to get excellent results so that I can secure a good job later on. After my high school, I took 2 years to complete my degree in a college environment. I finished my degree at the age of 19 compared to many of my other friends who graduated between the age of 21-23. At that time, my priorities were to quickly get a job after my studies and to start earning money. Looking back now, I did regret on graduating so early. I should enjoy my college years. I should take a long break before I go look for a job. I didn't really do that. I started working not long after I finished my degree course.
Now.. I'm in a different stage of life. After working for almost 4 years, my priorities changed again. There's been a lot of thinking on what I want in life at this point of time. Should I put money as my first priority or should I put 'having a life' as my first priority.
If I ask this question, I'm sure many people will definitely say, $$. They'll ask me to make money while I'm still young and it'll be difficult to do so when I have a family later on. I agree on this point.. but I want to enjoy life as well. I don't want to be away from my loved ones and friends. I'm going to be in my mid-twenties and I don't want to miss this phase while I'm still young and I don't want to regret looking back at it when I'm 30. I've already missed out a lot during my college life. I don't want to make the same mistake again.
I chose to stay put here in KL and to focus on my career development instead of thinking too much about $$. I'll get to do what I want to do (hopefully all goes well) and I get to be with my family and friends.
I hope that I've made the right choice!

Well, it's important to earn as much of $$ as possible right now and at the same time enjoying yourself. That's the reason why u r entitled annual leave from ur company. Don't be too stress up, girl. Just enjoy urself with wat u have now.
Well, sure enjoying life is important and of course as long as you are not starving, that's good enough.
Probably you'll have more $$$ if you go to some other places. But why do you want more $$$? To have a better life and enjoy, right? What's the point having more $$$ if you are not enjoying it??
$$$ is never enough. You are considered earning a lot compared to the others in KL, just not as much as other places. But I bet you are happier with all your friends and family around.
Stay cool, girl. Be happy!
Lady, when u hit late 20s, u'll realize that money is not that all important (especially from a girl's prespective). Everyone go through stages in life, and no one can deny the fact that $$ is important.
But always remember, $$ cannot buy certain things in life that you cherish, and of course, health. For anything else, there's MasterCard....
Hehehe....
