A small container overloaded wif so many stuffs....

Well, time to remit some of my thoughts again...this container is overloaded, ought to find something to unload. You know, after my sup, I met Mark and Reno. For the former, I call him "MM" because he always do not hesitate to teach things to you. Though at times, I do doubt what he said but I do like the way he plans out his stuffs. I begin to admire this man, a man knowing what he wants to accomplish and commitments in his everyday life. He do have ideas and agendas at his fingertips perhaps, to be scrupulous. Though sometimes when he taught mi stuff he sounded as if he was lecturing mi.....a great "MM" I have!!!!1
As for Reno, a sworn bro of mine, I think he is a hardworking man, a man wif filial piety, a term I have not used for a long time. A lame joker, realli hahaa!!!! Just tt, I dun wanna dig out pple's drawbacks......

Anyway, I have realised the areas I ought to work on, acuqire knowledge based on these areas:
1. Politics (as always)
2. Economics
3. Accounting/Finance
4. History
5. Philosophy
6. Current Affairs
7. Personal Improvement (Qualities)

Yup, this is it.....write it out here to prevent the risk of forgetting this or tt.....my plan to go to KPMG to ask for part-time next yr....hopefully, I do can transfer to Bachelor of Commerce next yr and then also being eligible for a placement in KPMG.......anyway, reading books will be in my agenda for this week, followed by hunting for chocolates and more (perhaps that's all). Well, I juz wanna write my plans out so that I can remember and then stick to it.....alrite tata

Newspaper Article....

Below is an article reporting a recent event:

Jubilance for the Academic Team In Adelaide
The academic team stationed in Adelaide has reported in the success for the examinations. Out of the 4 subjects, the team obtained 3 distinctions. The team yesterday celebrated this remarkable achievement. The team captain, Koh Ming Chien has expressed his joy regarding this success and added that this success was attributed to the hard work put in by the team members for the past 6 months.

"I am overjoyed about this achievement, but I still think that we can still do better, and we will continue to do better" he added. However, the menace was still far from over. When asked about the retaking of the exam paper this Friday, Mr Koh replied with a sense of confidence, "No worries, we are ready for any challenges or surprises on Friday. We will strive to do better, and we will." This was due to the tragedy on 4th November as the fire alarm went off in the midst of the exam. The team, with the belief of doing better in the sups, are prepared for Friday's paper. "We are ready, and we will create history." one of the team members said. With a sense of optimism and a good track record behind, the team seems to be formidable. The best of luck to them on Friday.

Back in Singapore, where the chairman of the team has expressed a sense of joy and commended the team's hard effort for the past 6 months. "It is a good result and I am happy about it but they should understand that it is still far from over as there is another paper on Friday." the chairman has said. He has also expressed a sense of optimism for the Friday's paper. He said no matter what, he is proud of the team and the team will receive a grand victory celebration when the members return on Dec 12. All the best to these members and once again congratulations or their achievement.

Failure or Setback?

Failure or setback? Distinguish them. This question and of course, this two terms have been moving all around my mind, from the moment I decided to write this entry to this moment when I am typing. Am I a person whose fighting spirit is up to mark yet? Is it sth I have to possess in the form of potential? I mean, is it naturally in my heart or I have to train it? One of my attributes that will be applicable. During this moment of deep consideration, wif my mind and gut feelings and conscience, I have thought of sth which I have not thought b4. Everyone told mi that this path to fulfil ur aspirations do not work. However, time and time again, this idea has been consolidated in my mind and I eventually get to realise what I set out to achieve.
As for the two terms mentioned above, my mind was in a deadlock initially when attempting to distinguish these two terms. However, I have found the difference between them. The difference is whether the "fight" is an ongoing one or it belongs to history. I have encountered sth that is related to failing. Dun get mistaken that I flung my exams but I failed in one of the subjects necessary in life to pursue someone's "soul". There is tis soul I always want to pursue, but did not have the courage to try. I mean I dare to do some things inappropriate in public which go against the law of sanity. I got complimented by that and also criticised by tt kind of behaviour.
I do not have the courage to pursue someone's soul. I mean I know how to handle problems are that are complex but helpless in terms of things in life that are much more simpler. I wonder why. For example, calling, call for how many times a week or day.....I fail this subject, I have a feeling that I might have freaked someone out. I asked myself was I being natural or just making the call for the sake of making that call. I am deprived of that courage to try new stuffs in life. My frien called mi couple of times to find another target. I have been hesitating on this prob. I thought, I will not leave an unfinished war or battle undecided of its outcome before leaving for another battle elsewhere. My answer is, if it is not official that I failed, I will not withdraw from the battlefield. This will be called setback. If u decide to continue fighting this battle, these hindrance which you had tripped over, are called setbacks. However, if you withdraw from the battlefield, these will be called failures. It might not sound right but it makes sense to me....alright I have to tata now see ya soon....

An announcement.....

Well, time to emit some of my thoughts here. I will start off wif a decision of mine regarding the exam results for one of my subjects. It will be announced in the following "speech" of mine and it will sound quite political maybe......

"On 1st November 2006, 11.30am , during the midst of the exam, the fire alarm went off and students were forced to evacuate the examination hall and the exam was cancelled at the spot. 2 days later, the examiners said they will mark the exam answers written at that spot and will be scaled it to the mark we will get should the exam run smoothly. If we are not satisfied wif the results we are given the chance to resit it again. A target was thus set as to whether to retake the exam or not. Yesterday, as the result of mine did not meet this target, I would like to express my sense of unsatisfactory and fervorly believe that this method of marking did not reflect a student's understanding. However, it is still unfortunate to accept that we have to accept the failure of achieving the result which we strongly desire. My friends, as a sign of protest to this way of marking and that the strong belief that we have the ability to excel in this subject. It is my intention to retake this exam. Dun feel embarassed over this outcome and decision, for some of my friends. I know all of u feel welcome abt this decision but some will feel embarassed as our adversaries got better results and thus there was no necessity for them to retake the exam. My friends, there is nothing to be ashamed about. You know, everyone deserves a second chance and it is always endowed to all of us. It is up to us to use it or dispose it into the rubbish chute. My friends, let mi give u an example. In the 1960 US presidential elections, Richard Nixon was defeated by John F Kennedy. However, in the 1968 elections, he made a comeback and won the nomination in his party once again to run for president. Then he won the presidency. My friends, from this example, we have seen that someone was given a second chance and he used it well. Another much similar example, was when I sat my microecons mid-term test for the first time and the paper went missing, then I was given another chance to prove my ability, I retook the exam and I got full marks for it. My friends, my call to you all is that dun feel disgraced by being given a second chance but it will be an authentic disgrace not using the chance endowed to you. My friends, I do believe in Hope and a better tomorrow and let us be optimistic about this exam and use this ample time endowed to us and demonstrate our outstanding and true capability in excelling in this subject. My friends, this is a major feat for us and we will overcome it and work for a better tomorrow. My friends, I will ask for ur support and unity once again and let us overcome this together as one. Thank you!"

Ok, this is just to address my inner soul regarding the idea to re-take the exam. I was ambivalent abt this idea....so ya anyway, felt better and cheers, tata!!!!

Crazy over her!!!!!

Day by day, i am crazy over her.....can u picture it? it's juz like a poison getting more and more serious......always thinking abt her......wanna say it out to her but i noe time is not ripe yet.....geez i noe everything but when i den can confess everything.....ohhh

What a memorable birthday celebration!!!! i dun mean juz one juz all of the celebrations in different days!!!!

Well, 2day is to celebrate the day when i was born....But first, let mi recap the things I had done b4 I was 18.....Firstly, on wed, I had made a few presentations verbally.....I went to Hughes Plaza with mark anita yingming....to present to the bradford students abt our experience.....I did talk a lot of crap but I did feel confident as one of the speakers. Secondly, my commercial law tute, i need to present my case to the "judges"....I always look to this tute every week.....had fun always...Thirdly, on thurs, AGM, I made a fool of myself haha presenting speech which was quite out of topic.....or to be specific, a speech which is meant for politicians in sg.....big topic, get heatened up at tt time. Though I did not get the post I wanted, I got the post of Secretary. I was glad abt this without realli feeling any disappointment. But I felt a dive in my confidence when I went for my second round of election for the post of Secretary....Well, though I shld thank those who voted, I shld thank matt instead first.....His word of encouragement made mi feel better, I was unable to sleep the night b4.

Yup, I got to rest den fri- Day 1 Of Celebrations
Went to ding hao wif wutong, liuxingwu, kinghan, edwin, hellen, lawrence, john......to have our dinner....had a fun time talking abt the jokes we had at bradford.....realli a fun time.....
Then day 2, went to victor harbour, visited the campsite for the children's camp.....yup met yingming's sis there....wat a coincidence!!!! haha den went out for dinner wif yan, kim, vivian, reno, yee whei, jiang wei, huiyu, my two cousins and my sis, my sis brought a frien as well and sujun!!! I had a fun time realli.....had coffee after tt at cibo.......den it was 11pm an hour b4 i turned 18...we went to unisa and took photos of ourselves, as if we were taking a photo album of "celebrities"....each foto with different poses.....i realli enjoyed myself, thank u all had the countdown thing wif u all.....a million thanks to all of u guys.....
For the actual day, I will spend time wif my family......at this moment, let us reverse time to 18 years ago which was in 1988, time: 8.23pm, venue: Mount Alvernia Hospital.......the place and time when i was born.....I could onli get out of my mum's womb thru surgery.....my uncle was the one performing the operation.....my mum bear lots of pain when she gave birth to mi.....Frm then on, I had been a big prob to my parents....having a hard time bringing mi up....The days in sg represented the time when i still have not matured.......now, I cant say I am but I can say I am going to be.....There were times when I was not satisfied of their restrictions on mi.....because I did not try to understand what they were thinking.....but now, I can.....I do understand......though I still not satisfied wif them sometimes, i still try to tink in their position and understand them.....thus, i did not realli argue wif them......
though 18 is still young, it is also not too young. Shld be the time when u actually get some experiences in life.....appreciate the care and concern given by ur loved ones....cherish them....or if you tink u have not noe ur loved ones deep enuff, try to get to noe them....u will understand them in the new way......
Therefore, later at adelaide time: 9:53pm....which is singapore time: 8.23pm. i will be at home spending the actual day wif my family, especially wif the person hu give birth to mi......also make calls back to sg: my ah gong my ahma, papa, Mummy Celestine, and my elder aunt maybe......yup, shld try to get to noe them in a new way.....u might find tt they are not actually wat u tot at first.....
I realised it long ago, but i felt awkward to say out to them....or type it out....To my parents: though sometimes i am arrogant, I still love u all.......Thank you for showering mi with love and care for the past 18 yrs.......Thank you papa and mama, mama coming wif mi to aust and papa who decided to send mi here and made my mind grow up........A BILLION THANKS TO U !!!! my meimei, thank you for ur present.....i will buy u a present in return, hehe!!!!

Biang, veri mushy, fortunately i typed it out i doubt i cannot even say iy out loud to them!!! Anyways, signing out.....Cheers!!!!

P.S for those hu voted for mi in AGM, I will treat as a birthday present from u all hehe!!!!!

Official stuffs!!!!!

ok, juz a bit less than 1 mth since i last updated my post....yup, juz two days ago, we had a last NDP com.....debriefing basically, not a lot of jokes, juz reports and opinions abt the entire event frm the entire com.....yup but it is official that the 2006 NDP com has been dissolved. So saddening, juz will miss those times when the com comes together for meetings!!! maybe those days allowed mi to have sth to look forward to every week: meetings!!!! yup, but it's all in the past. What now is that i have to go back to my studies. That's it!!!! and also a possible campaign for a post in the SSA com. seems to be confirmed tt the meeting will be held 13 days frm now, 3 days frm my birthday. a mix of excitement and panic. Why, afraid of contest? perhaps it's because it might be my first time running in elections like this? haha yup, cant decide whether i wanna run or not.

Well, still have a lot of time to decide....we will juz put tt aside? tmr going to the RA show, my uni friens went 2day but then i felt so bad tt i cant go with them....ya, but then i will have fun going with my other friens as well. For her, I will try to take initiative to noe her well, and others as well. Well, why i am not delirious abt tmr? oh wait, i am haha!!!!! 2 yrs in aust, but the first time to visit the RA showgrounds in relation to the show....a while havent been there since the exams. Also, other than the RA show, I am honoured to be granted the title "Organiser" for a possible to Mel, after the exam yup, well make enquires abt the things required and the budget set for the trip. ya, i tink tis is it, Out frm mi and cheers!!!!!

Well, a long time since i have updated my post. Have been reading other pple's blogs but have not touched mine yet!!!! Well, went back to sg during the hols. However, i still did not manage to do wat i wanted to do. Juz like "new year resolution". Yup, went out wif andy, davin lormee, don and more la......some of them i did not go out wif.... at least i met them in the streets like lester, kenn.....yup hoe guan maybe.....oh 1 person, my primary skool frien: jerome. I wanted to have a primary school gathering. regardless of 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 or other primary skool classes, i dun mind having a meeting wif them. den take pics which will be memorable yup.....certainly, jerome, met tt that day, when i was walking to some other shopping centre, near the area of Plaza Singapura. oh well, this post may juz provide mi the TO-DO List of wat i will do when i go back sg again.

Compliment of great teamwork and coordination.....

well, tot initially i shld end my topic on the celebrations on 13 May....but looking at lichin's email message to all people involved in the play. I felt quite emotional and reflected on a lot of qualities tt have been surfaced during the play. For example, we have a frien who was involved in two roles. As he finished acting the first role, he had to run backstage to prepare for his second role. Everyone at the backstage, including some performers, helped to put on his costumes without anyone informing them to do so. Due to this, this frien is able to enter stage without any time delayed. I dunno, I felt veri emotional as I am typing this. The play you all have seen on stage on sat, actually took a lot of the time and efforts of people involved. All if these tracked back to our first rehearsal. TT time, there weren't ant props prepared for the performers. Mi, though I do not need any costumes or props but my voice, I sort of did not get to the tone expected. I did not get to the stern tone when required. Going down the memory lane at the moment, from a misty idea of what we are responsible of to a well-trained team that has delivered a great play. (TO BE ADDED IN THIS POST)

Whole Hour of Intensity

well, searched thru the photos at msn groups.....quite memorable wow, miss the old days!!!! this foto was taken with a pose of michael jackson's trademark....haha sry for requiring to tilt ur head to see mi haha... anyway, being bz for the whole day, helping out at victoria square for the vesak day celebrations. feel pitiful for pple whom i called to invite to go, but did not go in the end. not realli tired actually, did narration for the play as one of the programmes. Haha, hmmm i was escstatic actually to get to "perform as the voice" actually. Hope tt my narration is good enuff....haha

Narration for the king is my responsibility and also contribution to the evil laughters, the loud roar of "I am his witness" which is at the last part of the play. Oh, and of course, the "wuwuwuwuwu" of the old lady.

Geex, rmb yesterday's politics lectures was a total catastrophe for mi and other friens of mine. Talked abt nigeria, a nigerian speaker came to talk us abt nigeria. I felt initially tt i would certainly relish but it turned out that he screwed up the entire lecture with his nigerian accent. I would like to listen but I dunno wat he was talking abt. He went "elections salkdhldkalsahdldhlkas"oh well, dun understand most of his lecture but onli get some words which he said in his lecture. We onli care wat were on the slides and not wat he was talking abt. I tried very hard to listen but it was in vain. geez, need to mug my IS assignment man!!!! I will post the pic when lormee posed wif "his bra" on haha.....oh well, good old days...Cheers!!!!

Strong Mandate For PAP........

GE results: PAP grabbed 82 out of the 84 parliamentry seats.....big win for the PAP and PM Lee especially, as the fact that he ran the elections first time as Prime Minister. End here..analysis coming soon...

........

haha no title to name for this post....woah, haha the GE is coming haha, residents frm my area do not need to vote....no opposition dare to contest there...haha my mum do not need to take the trouble to go to canberra to vote....haha anyway, two assignments and two oral presentations to be submitted soon..... doing finance assignment now, not realli making any progress for the information systems assignment. To be truthful, i have not touched it yet haha....well, still satisfied wif my first IS assignment.....hmmm did my best and get such a satisfactory mark i truly deserve. haha, uni life is not very stressful isnt it? if this statement is wrong, i can also say i have lived wif it and adapted to it....so hopefully there should not be any probs for mi!!!! I certainly noe how to deal wif it!! u muz at least learn how to relax....den u will learn how to tackle stress....anyway, the political crisis in thailand is certainly catastrophical...sale of shincorp to temasek holdings arouses allegations tt thaksin is corrupted. protests followed and he subsequently stepped down after his "remarkable" efforts to reconcile the nation....elections was in a big mess....I suggest you all go to this website http://www.time.com/time/asia/covers/501060417/thai_vpt.html

and have a look, interesting article, westerners' perspective of democracies of ASEAN nations....end here wif a song....."Lyrics pls" A tribute to 2pac, ghetto gospel....

Uhh,
Hit them with a lil' ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John:]
Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns

[2Pac]
If I could recelect before my hood dayz
I'd sit and reminisce, nigga and bliss on the good dayz
i stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to'em
They tested, it was stressed that they under
In our days, things changed
Everyone's ashamed to the youth cuz the truth looks strange
And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts
cause any day they'll push the button
and yall condemned like Malcolm x and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin
Don't them let me get teary, the world looks dreary
but when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly
there's no need for you to fear me
if you take the time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me
it aint about black or white, cuz we're human
I hope we see the light before its ruined
my ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John]

[2Pac]
Tell me do you see that old lady aint it sad
Living out a bag, but she's glad for the little things she has
And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy
Guess she's given birth to a baby
I don't trip and let it fade me, from outta the frying pan
We jump into another form of slavery
Even now I keep discouraged
Wonder if they take it all back while I still keep the courage
I refuse to be a role model
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
I make mistakes, I learn from everyone
And when its said and done
I bet this Brotha be a better one
If I'm upset, you don't stress
Never forget, that God hasn't finished with me yet
I feel his hand on my brain
When I write rhymes, I go blind, and let the lord do his thang
But am I less holy
Cuz I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace in that war on the streets
My ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John]

[2Pac]
Lord can you hear me speak!!
To pay the price of being hell bound...

Hahaha........

Got to chat up wif donovan.....2 months since i last saw him and heard his voice...... haha 4 yrs of friens and neighbourhood frien as well. haha tok abt a lot of stuffs, milk and alex will be my shifu and will teach mi to play dota hahaaha!!!!! den i will trash everyone when i go back sg haha!!!!

Anyway, also talked abt gals, his expertise, gave mi some advice and so.........hmmm no mood to type further. Cheers!!!! Details abt our conversation will be posted!!!!! Cheers!!!

Tammy, Rest In Peace.......

Just heard frm Mark tt, the gal involved in the nanyang poly incident commited suicide....hmmmm in my opinion, i think she should not do it....We must know that the humiliation she suffered is palpable and intangible. People like us cannot realli understand how does it feel. A gal at the same age as mi.....i feel tt it is quite foolish to commit suicide....there are so many things tt are waiting for mi to be accomplished....I have yet to serve my National Service( think i am looking forward to that day), career i have yet to be established. Maybe I will say that we should cherish the life we have had. She has a golden future in front of her.

I will say that this test might be an obstacle or a test for her, after the test, her maturity will be enhanced by a few notches. She failed miserably, in terms of emotions. However, perhaps I just say without experiencing it myself. Saying is more easier than done, I might be able to feel like she did but spare a thought for your loved ones. A practice of suicide will cause to lose your pain eternally and it is temporaily but think you will cause permanent damages on your loved ones. Imagine how much tears they will shed for you. I have this mentality tt I have not achieved what I have set out to achieve. I would not wanna go juz like tt. I would to mention my primary school classmate valerie who has passed away 4 yrs ago. She did well for her PSLE but she left the world. What a pity!!! Imagine how she wanted to fight the disease to keep herself alive!!!! The fighting spirit is what I always wanted....how she wanted to study secondary school!!! She did not give up herself. The will to survive is robust.

Secondly, a person whom I want to talk about is my maris stella english teacher's father, an active person, but she perceived her father as someone whose will to live is more than robust. Her father actually contacted frm diabetes. He carried his lifestyle just as normal: carry on wif his smoking......even though the doctor persuaded him to change his lifestyle. However, toward his last days, his will has diminished and to an eventual zero. The point I wanna point out is tt will to live is the key.....

Geez, have not updated my blog a long time....but I will say tt I will compensate by writing wat I have done the past period of time when I did not update my blog in my future posts.

Last thing I would to say is.......Tammy, Rest In Peace. May God Bless You In Heaven

haha....long time no updates

haha long time since my last post!!!! a month plus ya!!!!! hmmm muz everything starts going smoothly for mi in uni now? though i met some bumps earlier on...hmmmm my participation in tutorials is picking up steAm!!! lolx hmmm, k i sort of criticising pple for not getting their historical facts.... like Nixon and the Watergate Affair....the person gave us a presentation on the United States. She happened to give us an example abt the Watergate Scandal. She said that Nixon was impeached and was forced to leave the office. Hoowever, I have corrected the fact that to avoid impeachment, he left the office at 9 August 1974. In fact, he did not get impeached. Mainly because, President Gerald R Ford pardoned him for his wrongdoings. Geez....an unique political system which the US has....a strong system of government but at the expense of a feeble authority of the executive branch of the govt(to be specific, the President). The lecturer made a very true point the actual power of the President is to persuade. The President will face diffculties implementing new policies if the Congress is opposition-dominated. Ya, electoral college votes are made up of 435 Reps+100Senators+3 from Washington Dc. haha that gives a total of 538 votes. I think that they have a robust system....but i also hope authentic talents will eventually take power. Talents as in competent ones. for sg,............, geeezz, keep it to ourselves den!!! Plato's thinkings ya!!!!

Naeways, haha "craving" for attending occasions ending the word fest haha....dunno y? dunno soon i have to help out at the picnic cheers to all and OUT for mi!!!!

Critical Thinking.....oh man Greg, like tis person!!!! nice to noe ya, mate!!! see ya soon, cheers!!! Dr Steven, though I alwaes make fun of ya, i alwaes tink u r an understanding lecturer!!! u r a great person, as well!!!! sally and jenny and the rests, the lecturers are gd!!!!! u all will find it weird rite hahaha how can i 4get david also???? david, hmmmm bake cake 4 us!!!! well, all my foundation lecturers symbolise the australian way of teaching, totally different of singaporean way of teaching. australians are not smart academically, but their way of learning are flexible....singapore has many things to learn frm western nations. Make our education system more flexible!!!! our education system is inflexible and tis causes many singaporeans to run away and migrate somewhere else!!!! can the pple do sth abt our education system? I dun wanna say much!!! i juz tink there is sth we can do, and onli thing we can do: Change!!!! some of our systems shld be changed!!!!!

Readers muz noe tt this event or thing can actually determine whether i am qualified 4 the future career tt I have been yearning 4. Haiz, now, the chance has been diminished...all hopes for tt event to happen have been dashed almost completely- 90 percent. I am not convinced of "such defeat". Chances shattered juz like tt!!!! Haiz, how? I can say tt I have spent 1 yr preparing myself all for this thing to happen but it ended up as nothing.....my effort of acquiring have not been paid off....I juz want a chance to prove in the presence of the people of high authority...tt i can qualified 4 wat i set out to achieve.....Haiz, am I still obsolete??? haiz need time to reflect haiz outta here

Topics of the entry at a mix

ok, that was the show i have been spnding a week plus to watch!!!! lolx!! Well intend to put this in a blog. It has been 24 days since I have come back to sg. Also, end of 2005 and start of 2006. Commencement of new mentality, hope for the best to come in tis yr. Met don, lormee, some gangs of pple. Many of them have changed so much. Frankly speaking I do not accept pple who have such habits. Anyway, these days I have been "recuperating" from the study stress I have endured in Adelaide. In overall, I wanna say that this 1 year experience overseas is bountiful for me. Why? I begin to acquire more knowledge, regardless of politics, economics, characters and also history. I have certainly improved my level of general knowledge substantially. I am very glad to get to study overseas, I just wanna say that I am gonna rethink on the degrees I am going to pursue soon after I return to Adelaide. There are a lot of things to be looking forward to. I have mailed a proposal to Jenny or Anne regarding the idea of establishing active alumni, replacing the body of the ailing Bradford Student Committee. One of the challenges that hinders the alumni from perpetuating is the commitment of members. Therefore, I thought of introducing incentives to those members. Their relatives will be given special advantage over any other ordinary applicants. For example, lower criteria and lower fees to study at Bradford. I have stated these ideas to Anne. I want to set up this alumnus to help the college in times of any help required. However, I have to admit that I plan to set up the alumni is that I want to try to test my own abilities to lead. Once the plan is approved by Anne, I would be the head of the alumni. I have to mention the alumnus is still far from complete materialisation upon approval. Obligations have to be set within the alumnus. I have asked for some members for their support. For example, John. I have to return to Adelaide in order to take care of this issue. I have to list urge the members that welfare of Bradford College remains the top priority of the alumnus. Once the College calls for help, the alumnus must help provided that it is within the grasp of the alumnus. I would not like to see a recurrence of the NKF issue. T.T.Durai has seemed to forget the motto of NKF and the obligations that a CEO of the NKF has to uphold. Regarding who will take over posts within the alumnus, that is something we have to decide on. At the same time, I will seek for advice on how to run the alumnus well. Well, I wanna study Econs/Finance for 4 yrs but I will have to work hard to change my faculty to Commerce(Accounting). I have no choice but to do that. Frankly, I like to contemplate on economics concepts frequently. I think I know what to do, I would still have the textbooks even if I manage to change to Commerce(Accounting). I can read about the textbooks make notes as if I am still pursuing that degree. I can do my own learning on the area of Economics and Finance. This might be great, I can acquire the ares of Economics, Finance and Accounting. I will continue to buy the 4-yr coursebooks on Economics, Finance. I begin to realis this faculty do not require university lectures but rely on ourselves, our own learning and research. Hmmm, great, that will be settled. Well, talking about now resting and slacking in sg, might not really be the case. Signing up for a club to join, dunno whether can I join to be its member or not. Hopefully I can, I realli wanna be its member. Hmmm another thing is that watching this show called "Han Wu Da Di" about one of the greatest emperors of China Han Wudi. One of the leaders I truly respect, a strong leader, one who supported reforms within the Han dynasty’s constitution. Hmmmm upholding the correct principles of Confucianism. As a result, Han was in a period unprecedented prosperity. The Hans managed to fend off the Jurchens and they managed to expand their control of territories. We truly need the correct etiquette to be applied in our daily life, getting along with others, let alone ruling the empire. Lolx, Confucianism is an area which I ought to research on. Yes, hmm read more magazines like Times and Economists. Hahaha, it can increase my knowledge, let me prepare for the future when I………… Anyway, I begin to realise this point the four key processes in life "moulding your characters, setting up a family, rule your country well, lastly expand your control of power. Power in terms of controlling land within your region. Hmmm ok, to be continued in this entry.

Ok, as for the last stage, I will say that expand the land means to focus on making your career or you yourself famous. Well, you will need to figure it out yourself, my explanation tends to be misleading. To sum it all up, you need to focus on yourself first before talking about focusing on the entire company or nation or a big organisation. Haiz, they are so many things in my mind, waiting to be typed out. I just abruptly find it difficult to find issues to type. Ok, I have said that I wanna be well-versed in finance, economics and accounting. I shall now state others fields that I am interested in. There are Confucianism, Taoism(Lao Zi), Art of War. I also wanna be well-versed in these three ancient masterpieces as well. Let this be my new year resolution shall I? I should say, my resolution is to read about these 3 arts. If I say well versed, it will take up a few years even longer time.

All rite, I have finished watching that Han Wudi. Any thoughts? I will say that I respect him the most out of all the Han emperors. He doubled the size of the Han empire, my respect is crystal clear haha well, I will say that he was able to use the correct talents to rule his empire. His reputation has been promulgated out of the empire to the western regions via the grasslands. However, all of his achievements did not come without a heavy price. He exhausted the coffers of the empire on expeditions, it took the next emperor to replenish the coffers. Ok, still need to research more on it. Well, finally can get to see some of my adelaide friens soon. Clara, leong, maybe kalai, stanley and mark, hopefully meet all of them soon. Clara and leong are soon, lolz, as 4 johore friens, hopefully they can cause the causeway or the second link to look 4 all of us haha!!!! Well, I will write another entry!!!!!
