i shall control but not be controlled
im kinda happy today. quite rare u know for me. as you know, i have never been happy since i came to NUS. well, something susan said yesterday struck me. i mean she said she chose NUS because itz different from studying in any other university in Malaysia. In NUS, you get to meet people from all walks of life. so, when you look back next time, ull be like ‘oh…so im from such a great university’and next time you can tell your grandchildren that,you know, i studied in such a pretigious university, i met people from different countries,china,vietnam,pakistan,india,thailand…u name it. itz kinda like an achievement uh??
well, maybe susan is right. i actually felt better after hearing that. maybe i should learn not to regret but learn to love and be grateful. since im here, i should not make myself unhappy rite??why not enjoy my university life and make the best out of it in these 4 years. thanks susan!
ok.one more thing is,thank you chew ruzhi for informing me bout the PC fair thingy in Suntec City. if it wasn’t you,i wont get to know bout it rite???happy??haha…jst kidding.but thanks anyway(right from the bottom of my heart).
one more thing, i don understand why do people steal,snatch or even rob??i mean if you wanna rob or snatch,go target people who are much richer!!!!i mean my mum and dad work so hard to earn a living and yet those crazy people just snatched and ran off. screw you people!!poor mummy…i really have to learn to save more…
one one more thing, something came to my mind that day. in my view point, i feel that people who have gotten a university degree or even at a master or at doctorate level,doesnt mean they are educated. i can just say there are literate. people who din get much education can be educated people as well.coz they might have lots of experience in life that we,literate people don have. people who are rude,etc. can be literate in the sense that they might have a good education,but that doesnt mean they are educated rite??for example, my brother is a ACCA graduate,he is more litterate than my parents i can say,but my parents are more educated than him as my parents have faced and know more things in life than him.um…what do you think??
happy to see another post frm u!!
yeah, wat susan said is VERY TRUE. u learn lots of thgs compare to us who stay in msia. trust me. u nvr wan to know hw we do our assignment… we learnt “copy and paste”, u get it?
plus… i tok d same language everyday. face d same person everyday. i still mix wif d chinese! grr…wish i could learn more

wah..i was just joking leh..but i’m touched
thanks ng mei yoke for thanking me,haha.
you’re right about the education thing though.being ‘well-educated’ because of a degree is an idea that a materialistic society made up.learning we get from university,but education we get from life.a 4-year course in a university isn’t a shortcut to the wisdom our elders have acquired over so many years.
