I also understand that it’s not going to be that easy. Staying indoors all day every day during your days off work (or school) may seem relaxing but it is not the […] December 21, 2019February 22, 2022 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Podcast In conversation with Halima Attahiru This episode of the Other Expats podcast features Halima Attahiru, from Nigeria, and currently a revenue management/subject matter expert.

People (mostly) […] October 5, 2019February 22, 2022 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Blogs Who’ll win the Malaysian General election? Choose wisely There’s no discernible indication that the supposedly long-awaited Malaysian General election is almost here. In a few days, on 9 May 2018, Malaysians will be rallying to decide who they want their next leader to be.
