International Women's Day 2024

Being a woman in the engineering field is more than having a cuter safety shoe size or a pony tail under the helmet. While our estrogens are more prevalent on the rig nowadays, are our opinions accepted the same? 

Women have come so far from the days they were forbidden to work and vote. This day, around the world, we have female presidents and leaders who speak louder at global podiums than their stilettos on tiles. Thank you to all employers and industry players who acknowledge the woman's strengths and competencies. It takes good initiative to recognize that  although we are uniquely different in the world of steel, we are still needed make the establishment perform optimally. 

Women today are not merely gap fillers but pillars from family to work institutions. That being said, we don't mean to cause a power struggle wherever we go. Use our sensitivity and ability to "link everything together" well and you will be rewarded. While we may never match the brawn of our male counterparts, our intelligence and intuition cannot be negated. 

In the era when women empowerment is well supported by men, women have to recognize how strong and potential they are. All empowerment will be wasted if women do not believe in themselves. They have to realize that they are the diamond and their own rock. Women empowerment has to be embraced by women themselves first.

Glamping at Tiny House at Terrace Valley Campsite Bukit Tinggi, Bentong

Glamping at the Tiny House in a safe and hidden campsite called Terrace Valley was indeed refreshing and healing. Only 1 hour away from Kuala Lumpur, Terrace Valley lets the view of the blue mountain and sounds of nature melt away the tension accumulated in our hectic lives.

The Tiny House is equipped with electricity, clean heated water, pillows, blankets and towels. I must say that the open kitchen is my favourite as I was cooking in the company of nature. The smell of grass and the sound of water the whole day nourished my soul. Cookware and utensils are provided, including washing agents. A BBQ night is a MUST! The bbq pits are well built and welcoming.

It is indeed the small things that matter. The gurgling of water, the chirping of insects, the sight of the sky full of stars, the clean chilly air in the morning is the tonic that we lack in the bustling city.

Whether alone or with your loved ones, this place is a wholesome for the body, mind and soul.

Contact @theterracevalley 011-1630 3570 to book your spot! You won't regret it 😉
