My thoughts on the Netflix TV Series: Maid

Right off the bat it is a heart wrenching series. From this series, I learned that we should all be more mindful of our mental hygiene and keep track of our mental health, as many people are unaware that they have been victims of emotional abuse.

A girl named “Alex” was raised by a father who had emotionally mistreated her mother for years, leading to her mother's physical illness. Unfortunately, she ended up marrying a man suffering from PTSD. 

                                            [copy right belong to Malaysia Lawyer]

She ran out from her house with her daughter in the middle of night, wanting to put an end to the anxiety that her husband, an alcoholic, had instilled in her at the start of the series.

                                             [copyright belong to Malaysia Lawyer]

Sad to say, the husband filed an emergency injunction to get back sole custody by giving limitation visitation to Alex from court. He hired a fancy lawyer while Alex was struggling for food for her daughter.

                                             [copyright belong to Malaysia Lawyer]

The same concept can be applied in Malaysia, there is no law to protect someone under emotional abuse like in the USA. We should be more cautious about emotional abuse in our life.

From 6 till 25 years old, Alex never noticed that her mom had psycho problem till one occasion occurred and  her mom ended up in the psycho ward.

She was terrified because she didn't want the same thing to happen to her, and she was afraid that she would inflict that anguish on her own child.

The sad part is that children who are subjected to emotional abuse does not have the ability to fight back and stand up for themselves. When her mother was in the psycho ward, she hoped her husband would turn over a new leaf by showering her with love again.

Alex fell into the trap again and her husband retaliated and stopped her from going out of town to pursue her studies . She realised she had once again become a victim of domestic violence.

The second chance given to her husband resulted in her foregoing the opportunity to continue her studies in university, and she was in despair until someone stood up for her and pushed her to fight back.

                                             [Copyright belong to Malaysia Lawyer]

What we have learned from this series is that there are many people out there are suffering emotional abuse but the majority of them do not know that he or she is one of the victims.

There are far too many families out there who appear posh on the outside but are filled with wounds and grief on the inside.

I do hope the law can draw a line and write down the responsibilities & duties between all relationships.

Those who are not suited to marry shall not marry anyone in their life.

They shouldn't pass on those wounds from one generation to another.

Lots of love,

How do we express love?

After reading my last post regarding whether we can truly define love, one of my friends then asked me: How do we express love? That’s the question we will be tackling today.

The link from the previous post:-

https://malaysiadivorcelawyer.blogspot.com/2021/09/can-we-truly-define-love.html

There are a few ways we can love ourselves by allowing ourselves to regain our freedom in life. I always tell my clients that we all have two worlds: inner and outer space. There are many of us who simply focus on the outer space. For example, we try so hard to get rich and appear successful in society, but in many aspects, we still feel empty, anxious, insecure, and angry about our inner space life. 

[copyright belong to 婚姻律师事务所】

Many CEOs of large companies have informed me that they are too focused on their external success that they are sacrificing valuable time with their children and spouse. Those conversations during my consultations have shown me that we are all too focused on our outside world because we are so eager to receive praise and respect from society that we forget about the inner world.

                                              【Copyyright belong to 婚姻律师事务所】

In our entire life.

So, what do we do now? Declutter your mind, visualise yourself attending your funeral right now, and envision yourself inside the casket, this is what I tell my clients whose lives have hit rock bottom.

                                                [copyright belong to 婚姻律师事务所】

Imagine that your entire family, including close friends and relatives, is attending your funeral. What comes to mind and what you'd like them to say in their parting speech about you? You will know what your mission is and what kind of person you want to be in your life based on the speech you have imagined. As a daughter of your parents, a good mother for your children, a good leader or follower at work, and a good friend among your close friends, you will know how to compartmentalise all of your roles and perform them successfully. This is an excellent approach to express who you are and what you desire.

I strongly believe that you will feel extremely happy and meaningful once you know your life goals.

Many of us are dissatisfied and upset with ourselves because we are afraid of being judged or boycotted by society, which forces us to change our personalities to fit the needs of the society. That is why so many of us have lost ourselves, forgotten our souls, and forced ourselves to live in constant fear and despair.

Once you are certain of what you want in life, you will stop making assumptions about what others are saying about you. Did you ever realise that creating assumptions is a typical cause of sleep deprivation and makes us all overthinkers? We continue to hone our ability to become overthinkers by forming assumptions and even taking other people's words personally.

                                                [copyright belong to 婚姻律师事务所】

My mother frequently reminds me to watch what I say since what I say might impact someone's life. It is a potent weapon since it has the ability to hurt a person's heart while also having the ability to alter a person's life depending on where and how we use it. As a result, we should not take other people's statements too personally in order to make ourselves sad and even build animosity. If you continue to develop this skill, you will be the one to ruin and destroy your own wonderful existence. 

                                             【Copyright belong to 婚姻律师事务所】

Only by learning to live fully and deliberately throughout our lives will we be able to live joyfully. Because we only have one life, and we must all do our best to achieve our missions and ambitions. Remind ourselves that "consequence" and "mistake" are beyond our control, but that’s as far as you and I are aware, we have done our best, and there is no cause for us to feel guilty.

Have a nice day :) See you in my next post!

Lots of love,

Can we truly define love？

I suppose this is a topic I should discuss with all of you because I've noticed that our parents, schools, and even society have failed to define or teach us what "love" is.

As a Divorce Lawyer for more than a decade, what I’ve heard the most from my clients is: “There is no love anymore between both of us. We have tried our best to save this marriage.”

[copyright belong to Johor Bahru Lawyer]

When I looked around, I noticed that individuals of all ages, young and old, had perverted the genuine meaning of "love." I discovered that many children choose to eat vegetables and even play chess not because they appreciate the foods or the pastime, but rather to gain their parents' attention and "love”.

                                             [copyright belong to Johor Bahru Lawyer]

I even noticed that many youngsters would give a lot of promises that they will love each other till death do them apart, but many of them couldn’t keep their promises in the end of the day.

My friend's toddler even informed me that he loves his puppy because his kindergarten teacher taught him that we should love animals. “Blood is thicker than water,” our parents always say, and we must love our siblings.

                                              [copyright belong to Johor bahru Lawyer]

Even if I had done well enough to love my schools and friends during my school days, I learnt to "love" my career, my job, and my coworkers when I started working in the legal field.

From here, i would really like to emphasize that we had been taught to like our parents, animals, friends, siblings and which includes our surroundings from school & our own circle of relatives members.

However, none of them used to educate us how to “love ourselves”. That is why a lot of us provide our limitless love closer to the humans surrounded us and disregarded our self love from time to time. In an extended run , in the course of our life , we make ourselves stay in worry and insecure.

I’ve seen many teenagers using drugs and other self-destructive activities just to get the attention and approval of their friends' gang. Many of my friends choose to study law as a way of realizing their parents' dream rather than their own. I choose to stay away from my family to buy my first home just because I fear criticism from others. Like this action, it has got me through many difficulties and has had a negative impact on my physical health during long hours.

We force ourselves to work on other people’s dreams by depriving our sleep time and restrict our freedom for years. We trap ourselves in endless fear and insecurity and keep pushing ourselves to the max. Why we have to keep self torturing ourselves?

                                              [copyright belong to Johor Bahru Lawyer]

We are the silent killer to ourselves. Our fear and insecurity caused us depression, unhappiness, upset, and dissatisfaction in our achievements. There is nobody for us to blame since we are the ones who are willingly to pursue other people’s dreams and live in their fantasy world. We are the ones that chose to love others more than ourselves. 

All of us have been victimised by our education. We had forgotten and neglected to learn more about ourselves and we forget about what is “SELF LOVE”!.

Things you should know before you tie the knot!

 “Tidying up with Marie Kondo” might have been the best TV show on Netflix during MCO 3.0 in Malaysia. I strongly recommend this show to my clients and friends especially those who tend to tie the knot during this pandemic. It is never too late to watch and learn something before you enter your marriage life.

                                              This photo copyright belong to [JB lawyer]

One of the trends I have observed as of late is that many couples have been omitting the fact that building up and maintaining a comfy home is one of the essential criteria for a steady marriage. I always tell my boyfriend that a luxury house with a great mess would not let a person feel comfortable to step into after a long day of work. However, a comfy little nest on the other hand makes me feel right at home after a rough day at work.

                                             This photo copy right belong to [JB lawyer]

You may be able to spend few million dollars to have a luxury house, but you could not spend the same amount to have a home. Home is a place that you can have a sense of belonging and filled with love. Therefore, regardless the space is big or small, we shall make a lot of effort to build up a home that belongs to us once we have settled down with our partner.

Sad to say, there are too many young couples forced to work from days to nights and everyone has neglected that “tidying and cleaning up a home” shall be done everyday. Besides that, everyone who is sharing under the same roof shall be obligated and responsible to keep the house clean from time to time.

This photo copyright belong to [JB lawyer]

One of my friends, who is a CEO in a listed company, told me that he feels happy when he sees a table full of delicious dishes prepared by his wife after a long day in his office. However, his mood took an immediate turn when he was not able to find forks and spoons. After struggling to find the utensils, he had already lost his appetite.

                                             This photo copyright belong to [JB lawyer]

On the same token, the CEO even shared with me that a messy company would not be successful. He told me: “I did not have the motivation to go to work because the internal management and the environment of my workplace is in the same mess as my home.” As a result, he purposely makes an effort to seek for advice from friends to teach his maids and family members to tidy up every single corner of his mansion properly.

Equally important, if all of us make a habit to keep compiling all our stuff together, choose to keep those which sparks joy at least once a month, then we would save a lot of money. We could even stop our hoarding behaviour that will bring more mess than good to our comfy home.

A picture is worth a thousand words. I guess the above photo can physiologically change a person’s mood. Therefore, a tiny gritty nitty thing can change your marriage and relationship too! So please do not omit it!

Lots of love,

How to understand a woman’s mind?

Honestly, guys, it is not that difficult to understand what your woman is thinking. If you have been seriously spending time with her every single day, you should know what type of person your woman is. Please do not think of your woman as a “monster” just because you do not understand her.

 

Many unnecessary arguments arise due to lack of understanding. The key which triggers heated arguments most of the time is that men always misinterprets a woman’s language.

Based on my experience, my boyfriend likes to interpret every single word from my mouth literally. My goodness, it is like he is using a sharp knife to stab himself! Seriously, it is hurtful if a guy does not understand a woman’s language.

Honestly, the way a woman expresses her feelings and emotions are sometimes too direct and exaggerated. Maybe we truly are bad in our communication skills. Therefore, guys please do not listen and try to understand every word we say, literally. 

Here are some examples that would trigger a guy’s temper and emotion:-

From this, we can see right away that when a guy hears his girl say these things, he would immediately respond and execute these requests. But what happens after he finishes all the tasks? The woman does not respond and just continues with her daily life. This is where the trigger happens. The guy does not feel appreciated when he did all of this for his girl.

Guys, here are some tips to help you understand what your woman is saying. When she says: “YOU NEVER CARE ABOUT ME!”, this means that there is something bothering her and she needs you right now!

 

“YOU NEVER BRING ME OUT FOR DINNER!”

This can go either way. Either she wants you to cook her a nice meal or take her out to a fancy restaurant. Do not wait! She just had a long day at work and when she says this, she means now. So do not just sit there and decide what you are going to do.

 

“Why is the room so messy?”

Again, she has had a rough day at work so when she walks into the house, she expects the place to be clean and welcoming. There is no need to put the blame on anyone, just try to make the place clean before she comes home, or at least pick up a broom or mop and do it in front of her to show that you care. She does not want to argue with you with a small matter like this. She just wants to come home and relax.

 

Like I said, it is not that hard to interpret what your woman is saying to you. If you seriously take the time to understand her mind and language, you may find that it is easy to get along. I hope this post can help you to strengthen your marriage and your relationship. Have fun!

 

Lots of love,

得第一，却输了婚姻

昨晚一个顾客，

和我打了一个电话，

在电话里不停的哭。

她是个研究生，

从小到大什么都第一，

天还未亮就起来认真读书。

在工作时也比一般人认真，

未去做研究生，

老板很看得起她，

短短时间内就被升职。

然而昨晚她哭着对我说，

她觉得自己人生很失敗，

她连一个婚姻都无法挽救，

从小到大拿第一来干吗?

"为何父母就只教我拿第一，

为何我拿了，

今天的我不快乐也不幸福?"

我也愣了...

"为何从小没人教好如何看待感情?

如何维持一段婚姻?

我真的很失败，

我这辈子从7岁到现在，

努力着什么?

让我老公嫌我强势，

嫌我难搞吗?"

说真我们的教育系统，

除了教导我们课业上的知识，

有好多知识都被忽略。

说真不是她笨她失败，

而是我们做每件事前，

都必须了解男女之間的想法和关系，

了解好了才进入一段婚姻。

你不读不学不懂，

就算你是个高材生，

样样精通也没有用，

因为你忘了学习和精通这一门学问。

The Million Dollar Question: How to manage your finances with your other half?

In my opinion, I think one of the most important topics in life, whether before or after tying the knot, is how we manage our finances with our partner. Especially in Malaysia, this issue has always been mishandled and taken lightly.

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Johor bahru Lawyer]

As a Divorce Lawyer in Malaysia for more than a decade, 95% of my clients never discussed, nor made full and frank disclosure about this issue before getting married. None of them tried to read up books on how to maintain a marriage or attend pre-marriage counselling.  Guys, marriage plays an essential role in everyone’s life. If you do not equip yourself with knowledge and wisdom, then what is the point for you to enter the marriage?

                                              [picture copyright belong to Johor Bahru Lawyer] 

Many couples innocently thought that through marriage their financial problems can be resolved because they have each other’s backs when it comes to buying their first home, automobile, and other daily life expenses. Although it sounds nice and all, but is this truly a happy marriage?

                                             [picture copyright belongs to Johor Bahru Lawyer]

Some of my girlfriends told me their dream is to marry a rich guy and it will change their life forever. In fact, there are a few guys that approached me and told me that I would be the most suitable future wife to them because I am financially independent, and that I would be able to stand on my own feet one day if anything happened to the family. My goodness, marriage is NOT a magical place to let anyone gain wealth nor it is a business platform for anyone to freely deal with their trading! This is the basic misconception for the 80’s and 90’s babies in Malaysia.

In tandem, among the 95% of the divorce clients, over 60% of them do not know about their current financial status of their other half. When I sat down and talked to them, I realised that many people have this thought that personal financial status is a secret issue and that they should not reveal it to their life partner.

                                             [picture copyright belongs to Johor Bahru Lawyer]

From the private conversations among those divorce clients, I noticed that both parties do not trust each other, and lack of confidence towards their marriage indirectly caused their marriage to break down. Both parties weigh their money more than their marriage.

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Johor Bahru Lawyer]

This issue has arisen in my personal LDR as well. My boyfriend has always been reluctant to talk about this issue. After a deep discussion, both of us agreed that we shall make a full and frank disclosure with our financial profile, therefore both of us will understand each other more. We will have a clear direction on how to work up our future marriage or relationship, as we will know how to spend our money wisely and use our money in a more appropriate way. This should be a great issue for both of us to discuss and plan for the budget for our upcoming travelling fees and daily expenses.

Couples will feel more confident to walk hand in hand and both of you will have a clearer direction for your future after you have opened this financial issue to each other. Remember, it is never too late to act! It is better than not knowing anything and just let it be as if nothing happened. We are human beings, and mistakes are meant to be made, but they are also meant to be corrected.

The Biggest Challenge in a Relationship

If you ask me, I will say that there are too many differences between men and women. However, many people regardless men or women, never really focus on how to go through the challenges in their relationship as everyone is being too focused on their own feelings, thoughts, and careers. We weigh our career and money more than our own relationship especially to those who have been married for more than 7 years.

 Love and relationship are something magical and beautiful in everyone’s life, but it will turn sour or even vanish simply because both parties couldn’t seriously embrace the challenges when time passes by.

Naturally, differences between men and women are the keys that will break up a loving relationship if both parties never really take an effort to understand each other’s behaviours, thoughts, and characters.

One of the basic differences that I have observed and even used to experience in my relationship is the fact that men and women react differently towards “stress” in life.

You want to know what makes your woman mad? Getting comfy in your man cave doing your thing while your woman is trying to communicate with you after a long day at work. Clearly, she is stressed out and wants your attention. You will never understand how lonely and deserted she felt, so do not even bother trying to explain. Just drop what you are doing and give her a big hug.

On the other hand, ladies, if you keep talking non-stop about whatever is bothering you, your man will feel annoyed too especially when he is trying to enjoy his alone time to relief his stress. Sometimes, they will even feel reluctant to go home after work because they simply just do not want to deal with your problems right now. Take a step back, clear your negative thoughts, then approach your man.

In some countries, it is quite common for guys to hang out with his colleagues after a long/rough day at work. However, this behaviour most of the time will deteriorate your relationship with your woman. I always ask my boyfriend whether he is listening to me when I talk to him, and his response is always “of course” even though I knew he is only paying half the attention towards me and that makes me feel frustrated.

Therefore, I leave you all with this: the only tool to embrace this big challenge in a relationship is “communication”. Guys, tell your gal that there is something bothering you and you need time to cool down your mind. If you do this the correct way, she will learn to understand and give you your personal space. On the same token, you should also give some time for your girl to talk about her worries and problems to let her feel cherished and loved when she needs to talk.

If there is a will, there is a way. Both parties shall make some effort to understand each other more to keep the relationship going.

Short term and long term success !

Do you ever think about this question in your life? 

Many people around me always tell me he/she wants to be a successful lawyer, doctor, or a businessman, but none of them could give me an answer when it comes to this question.

If you are not able to define success in your career, then why do you want to start up your own business or embark your career journey rashly at the first place?

Basically, I will categorise success to 2 sectors i.e.:

                                                [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

I hereby regret to say that there are too many people focus on short term success to aim for a short-term profit instead of long-term success. Many of us are typical Asians who like to compete with each other. We always like to follow whoever shows us his/her fancy car and house to justify “success”.

This temptation and greediness shall directly blind fold our eyes, shut our minds and indirectly force us to follow their steps without thinking about 

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

Therefore, we drag ourselves to a dreadful situation by giving out:-

Regardless in any professional services in Malaysia.

While all of us know vividly that by giving the above will lower down our net profit and we will drag everyone in the same industry to the red sea sooner or later.

                                                          [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

 

How are you going to survive yourself inside a big pool of bloody red sea in a long run together with all the debts that you have yet to settle?

This is the big problem in our society. Everyone of us will follow blindly without thinking about the consequences thereafter. This strategy will pull down our businesses/careers, and at the same time our society will fall very soon since all of us are lacking of

In creating “value” in our businesses and careers, this pandemic is a wake-up call to all of us. We shall change our mindset and start creating “value” to embrace the upcoming changes and challenges in the new world.

This is the time for us to put aside those “old fashion” ways of creating unnecessary competitions to achieve short term benefits. Our duty is to be creative and innovative by upgrading our skills, polish our knowledge, devise a new strategic plan in our businesses by ways of upgrading the quality of our services and products to achieve a long-term success.

Lots of love,
