It goes without saying, a crucial part of adulting is securing a job after you've graduated from school. 

For the three of us, we graduated from universities in the UK and managed to secure jobs in different industries - from architecture, deals tax to consulting. Navigating a new job is one thing, but navigating a new job in a different culture than one you are used to requires significant effort and preparation.  

Join us in this episode as we discuss our journeys and experiences in securing our jobs in London, the challenges we faced in preparing for the applications and interview process, as well as the different expectations we've never thought we'd encounter at our workplace.

Making friends is both an art and a science in itself. We meet so many people in our lives and how many of those connections actually turn into meaningful friendships? People are fundamentally different, and no two human beings are the same. This means more complexities, more drama and more challenges in meeting, keeping and staying friends. Join us in this episode as we share how we became friends and what our thoughts are on the different tiers of friendship. We talk about making conscious decisions to friend or un-friend someone and what our experiences are in making friends in the UK vs. Asia.

Is money the root of all evil or does money make the world go round? Ironically, these two commonly known expressions are very much true despite the obvious contradictions. Today's education focuses on pretty much everything except money management. Money is THE currency, but the lack of education in schools has left most people feeling unprepared or caught by surprise once they receive their first paycheck.   

Join us in this episode as we discuss each of our personal finance motivations and goals, how we keep track or our finances and how our views on money has changed over the years.

What is culture shock? 

Moving to a new country / city often means getting exposed to new habits or lifestyles that could be vastly different to what we are used to. As Malaysians who have lived/are living in the UK for a significant amount of time, we have taken some time to get used to some of the UK nuances such as the "Yes Please"s and "Thanks You"s, constant discussion about the weather (hey, weather depression is a real thing, believe it or not), initial shock towards self-tanning products, and the most difficult of all, navigating the British humour. 

If you've lived abroad in the UK or anywhere else, what were the things you found odd and how have you dealt with them? Make yourself a cuppa tea and join us in this episode as we talk about the things and habits that we found to be simply different while living abroad as well as things that we have grown to love and subsequently picked up! We share our experiences of how we adapted to a different way of living whilst trying to stay true to our own culture and identity.

Asian beauty standards are known to be notorious! From having a V-shaped face to the A4 waist challenge, we as Asian women face an ever growing list of so-called “ideal” beauty standards.

Join us in this episode as we discuss our thoughts about Asian beauty standards and the impact of these standards on how we view our bodies. We share our unique experiences and struggles of how we dealt with body image issues and how this has changed over the years.
