The beauty of Padang Padang beach in Bali, Indonesia. From hanging out at the luxurious malls in Kuala Lumpur, spending time here has given me more sense of belonging and warmth.

LESS IS MORE

Two months at work and I was given a salary increase for  a  ‘commendable work’. It isn’t the money that made my heart jump but the thought that my hard work was valued in just a  short period of time that  made the difference. What I get here is not even 30% of what I was getting from my previous employer in Malaysia , but I’ve never felt happier and fulfilled. From living in a high-end area in KL to living in front of a rice field in Bali,having 7 pairs of working shoes in Malaysia to just one pair in Bali ( and is even close to shoe sole separation anytime ..)   I can list a hundred things that have changed since I chose to live and teach English in Bali. Change was drastic and painful , but it has taught me to be more grateful even when things are are their worst. Life is tough but the universe always has our back.
