My two cents on why I chose business..
I'm sure everyone has encountered this issue before.. Ever gone to some uncle/aunty/stranger/party where someone will always ask you, "Where are you now? What are you doing?" The typical scenario, and the usual answer for mine is that i'm standing right in front of you talking to you..
Okayy, that wasn't the point of this post.. So I told them I'm in uni, and they'd ask which uni.. So I blurt out my completely unwilling rehearsed answer, which is Monash. They who never seem to run out of questions and continue the interrogation, what are you doing? Yet another completely boring question I cant seem to escape from.. Then here goes...... business.
Business, and as the moment alot of them hear that, they have a split second reaction. Noticable only if you pay attention, not otherwise. Business, business and business. Business. Business. Then the questions stop. Ever wondered why? Has anyone honestly paid any attention to this matter?
Normally, if you're reading till this point, u'd probably either, think about it now, or think that I've gone completely nuts to notice such stupid things. Yet, perhaps my two cents will change your opinion on that. Business. And they flinch, for 0.0001 second, and proceed to change the topic or question.
Its because that business, and its line of education in business, I'm quite sure to many people, many, but not all, business is a lower-level thing to do compared to science, medicine, engineering, and so forth. Deep within their minds, it would be going, you're doing business? You mustn't be too smart then, or, you must be very lazy.. And you can apply the opposite/vice versa to medicine and so on.
They stop asking because they think its impolite to talk about someone who is only taking business. Their immediate impression is etched in their minds for a long long time.
Then perhaps I should share my light and point of view. Not that I can brag that I bagged all perfect As in my SAM, yet I'm proud enough to say that I scored a TER of 92.2, allowing me to enter into any stream, except medicine of cuz, in any U, again except harvard or oxford of those top 10 unis.. Yet I chose business, a stream that most people think is inferior to others..
If you choose medicine, you're probably be a doctor.. Probably okay? If you choose engineering, obviously you'd probably be a engineer. Same goes with the rest. Of course, you'd get peace of mind, you have a job in mind, and will probably have no problem being employed. You'd earn a chunk of salary for the rest of ur working life, that is, of course, as long you remain working.
Thats where my problem comes in. I know I didnt choose IT cuz I cannot imagine doing IT as a career for 40 odd years until I grow old. And I don't want to get employed by someone for the rest of my life, I want to employ others to work for me. I don't want to work forever to earn salary, which chunks of it will go to bills, tax, expenses etc etc.. I want to set up a business, get the right people, set up a good system, and let it work for itself. I don't see job security as a luxury, I see it as the biggest boredom of life. I see the chances of starting and nurturing your very own business a better chance of living a more comfortable life, of course, in the long run.
I realized my naiveness when I'm in pre u.. I thought I would be contented to graduate, get a job and work for the rest of my life. Then I picked up a book in the library totally by coincidence, and it was the same book I saw my dad reading before, and it changed my outlook on my future forever. I realized there were people around me who began to felt the same, and I was thankful to share a common path.
Don't get my wrong, please, I am not blasting or flaming other stream of study, instead, I respect them. BUT i am defending business as a stream.. I am not amazing enough to be successful without studying it, or gaining experience..
I'm not a Bill Gates, or a Michael Dell, or a Tony Fernandez, and so on, though I am inspired by their story that has lead to their great success. I am not saying I can even achieve any of this, but I am saying that I will, without a doubt, attempt to. Fear of failing is always there, with great costs too, but it won't be a barrier.
Oh, I havent gotten to the point why I chose business.. I chose business because it teaches everything which is not found in technical courses. Technical meaning a course that teaches u a specific skill, e.g. How to build a bridge.. In business, It is about teaching you how to hire and manage those people who are building the bridge instead.. Basically, business also teaches you about how this entire world rotates, not literally, but through economics, accounting and finance. Then there's always management, on how in theory people behave, and how it differs or is the same in reality. In short, business teaches you about the world and its people.
I want to rid the public of the thought that mass comm, business, arts or any other arts subjects, is inferior to those of science. And that is what this post is simply about.. In school, in the publics' perception, and even in the government, this is what is happening. The government has a 60:40 ratio for science to art classes, this already shows the imbalance.
Arts subject, should not be considered inferior to that of science. These are my humble two cents, don't get the wrong idea from reading this post.

Work after work..
While I do seem quite free at times, the reality is catching up fast to me.. Work is sooo piling up and the dateline for assignments (4 of them, mind you) seems to be running close towards me.. Not to mention I've started my 5th blog, the Monash Unofficial Newsboard, which seems to be more popular than my own blog... Thus, forgive my lack of updates to my blog..
Hmm... nothing seems to be happening as well.. I've more or less settled in at sunway/monash.. I've also settled for food court instead of our lovely asia cafe last time.. there aint no CC, pool, or anything nearby.. really kinda sad case.. lolz.. If only they'll move in..
Classes have become a normal thing dy lo.. Lectures, tutorials.. As for tutorials, the class type similar to school, I've noticed.. its erm.. rather... un-unified.. I still don't know 3/4 of my tutorial classmates names... total strangers, and already in the third week.. haiz..
And I also apologize for the lack of pictures lately, at one point I've forgotten of them.. Thats all for now..
Random picture 19: This is one cool dog..

Utada Hikaru - Flavor of life
Utada Hikaru - Flavor of Life Lyrics
Lyrics & Music: Utada Hikaru
Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
sayonara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life
tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
shuukaku no hi wo yumemiteru aoi furu-tsu
ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
jirettai no nan notte? baby~
arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life
amai dake no sasoi monku ajike no nai doku
sonna mono ni wa kyoumi wa sosorarenai
omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte
jinsei suteta mon janai tte
doushita no? to kyuu ni kikareru to “uun. nandemo nai”
sayounara no ato ni kieru egao watashi rashikunai
sinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nandaka setsunai
“aishiteru yo” yori mo “daisuki” no hou ga kimi rashii janai?
The flavor of life
wasurekakete ita hito no omoi wo totsuzen omoidasu koro
furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo omou to sunao ni yorokobitai yo
daiyamondo yorimo yawarakakute atatakana mirai
teni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai
“arigatou” to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life
ENGLISH:
when you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt
get undone even after the good bye.
the faintly burning pain.
The flavor of life
Neither friends nor lovers, in uncertain terms
like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
because of being unable to just move one more step forward
why is it that i am irritated?
when you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt
get undone even after the good bye.
the faintly burning pain.
The flavor of life
Sweet talk and tasteless poison.
i have no interest in them
even if things do not go the way you want them
Life is not something to give up on
When asked ‘ whats wrong?’
i answer ‘its nothing’
losing my laughter
after the good bye isnt like me.
the more i wish to believe in you,
for some reason the more it hurts
‘i like you’ instead of ‘i love you’ is more like you right?
the flavor of life
when i suddenly remember the scent of the person that is nearly forgotten
i remember the whiteness of the piled up snow and i want to feel happy honestly
a future tender and warmer than a diamond
i want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, i want to live it with you
when you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt
get undone even after the good bye.
the faintly burning pain.
The flavor of life
....................................................................................................................................................................
This is a great song..

Dangers of beers
A quick post to put the long list of complaints behind..
--
Dangers of beer:
Yesterday, scientists for the FDA suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women.
To test the finding, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong.
No further testing is planned.
