yeah true dat.
im always looking around,but if my workload is too heavy for now,i wouldnt be able to concentrate on my professional accounting qualification exams
there is this malay proverb ''bersusah-susah dahulu,bersenang2 kemudian'' (english translation suffer 1st,enjoy in the future.later) which is suitable to describe my salary/monetary situation now

let see in a month time.mathematically i should be able to save around $50-100 after deducting all expenses.another thing is i dont have a car for the time being,so i save on petrol,toll,parking,installment,insurance,etc that is associated with car. that keeps me staying afloat for now
yesterday saw a car expo,for a 84k car the insurance is 2k,how insane is the insurance rate now!
i suppose myvi insurance would also be in the range of 800-1000?

not going to happen! the max payscale for this position is only 2k.only the next level max payscale is 3.5k

thanks for your advice.will keep that in mind,determination and patience.sometimes slow and steady do it better than those who zoom all the way using ferrari(no pun intended)
as people say ''the grass is always greener on the other side''

i am not in need of money,but earning some $ helps me to understand how hard is it to earn a living
well you cant be paying an account assistant the salary of an account executive which is around 2k at least?

nope,subsidiary of a Asian retail company.the last time i checked never a chinese owned that company,although lots of managers are chinese
who knows gaji low but bonus is a lot haha
