Some Random Thoughts
Apologies to the 27th and Foodhunt Comm for not being able to make it yesterday, as I had other commitments to fulfill. The next few weekends are going to be burnt, and I am not so worried about being busy, about school work, or about mid term, but more of my significant other.
Already gotten back some mid term assignment grades, and so far it has been quite good. Have a couple of major mid term test next week, and I am falling behind on my revision again!
Still on schoolwork, I actually used my first SU option this sem. Was really in a dilema over doing so, but I guess I am feeling happy that I have done so. I think many people fail to realise that it is not a simple matter of whether I will waste my SU if I score well on a relatively easy module, but more of how SUing the module will actually lighten my overall workload for the benefit of my other modules. This is especially so when I have so many other commitments. I am feeling some weight off my shoulders already.
Today is the last day of Lunar New Year, and yesterdae was my first stint at blackjack gambling of the Lunar New Year. I started off with a dollar, and ended with 44 times more. How lucky can one get, especially for someone who is always down in gambling :)
Got myself a new set of speakers from the bazaar, and I am sure that will keep me in my room, and away from the TV room for a few weeks at least. Subwoofer and sound is good for such a cheap deal.
Realised that I should once again be grateful for making it into NUS. My gf and her friends are now all left stuck in a room labelled 'end-of-poly', and this very room has many doors to exit from. However, they are stuck not because they cannot decide which door to exit from, but instead they are wondering which door is actually locked and which doors are left for them to explore. The common dilema shared by most diploma holders, including myself a couple of years back. So where now?
My friends actually went to this career fair at Suntec City, and they were commenting on many IR or casino related courses and diplomas are surfacing these days. Since last year, I was telling my friends that I have huge reservations over this casino job outburst thingy. I feel that the IR will be a big hit and a big success, not to mention a big pool of money, but for jobs which are directly related to casinos, I have my doubts. I just got this feeling that these kinda jobs will soon be assigned to the much cheaper and much more hardworking foreigners. We have already saw this very trend happen in the IT industry, and I just have this feeling it will all happen again. Not that I am a good economist or forecaster, but I think I do make a valid point here. I also feel that the indirectly related professions will stand to gain. Like social workers, the finance sector, the banking sector, media and journalism, the food industry, the tourism industry, and many others.
