The Economic Insanity

Milton Friedman, John Maynard Keynes, David Ricardo --> these are the culprits behind the reason why we have to study micro & macro economics! Dont they have anything else 2 do but to come up with their respective views and theories about the economy?!?! 45 degree diagram laa..multiplier diagram laa...animal spirits laa...bla bla bla..

And why the heck am i learning the fiscal & monetary policies in Australia?! As if i'm gonna be the governor of RBA or planning policies for OZ... So wat if i know the causes and effects of inflation, deflation, stagflation..bla bla bla. All i know is dat all these are rubbishy ! But we have to learn it simply bcoz they call it EDUCATION =_________________________________=

Sigh...

It's been a tough week for me to endure. Not because of the assignments or the exam but it's about my maternal grandpa. I called back last Sunday and received news from my mum that my grandpa's health is deteriorating and he seems weaker than b4. It was just not too long ago since i last saw him and that was b4 i arrived in Sydney. He was still very healthy at dat time. I just can't believe that he's becoming so frail. I'm so worried and i don't have a chance to visit him rite now. I juz feel so helpless.

Then, i heard my grandma has got some problem with her kidney and will have to undergo surgery as well. Why on earth is it happening at the same time?! I can feel what my mum's feeling rite now. It must have been a difficult time for my mum now. Though there's nothing I can do even if I'm back in Malaysia, but all i want now is to be home rite now..

All i can do now is to pray and hope that they'll be just fine...

Soccer is My Everything...!!!

As much as I enjoy watching soccer especially the barclays premier league, I too enjoy to play soccer.!! So, dat's wat i did this Sunday afternoon. A friend of mine, Sin Yoo informed me about her friend,Patrick who has invited me to join him. Though i have lots of things to do 2day, I abandoned all my plans at once. Back in those high school years, I used to play every weekend and it's part of my schedule. Ever since I left high school, I've only played not more than 3 times in 2 years' time!! Pathetic!

Now that I've finally found some friends who can play every week, it's more than just a satisfaction but a relief. A relief in a sense that I can rediscover the old times I had with my friends as well as not having to face the books all the time.!! Yeap, it's absolutely true that Uni life is short & we need 2 engage in the things dat we like to do most.

Cooking Master Boy

You must be wondering what is this title all about... It's the anime series which I'm currently catching up with. If my memory serves me correctly, it was shown in the tv back in 1998. I almost forgot about this anime until Jason mentioned it. Thanks! Also, not to forget CS who found the link to watch it on9.

It has 52 episodes in total and I've just watched over 4 episodes to date. The thing that i like about this anime is that it casts my mind back to all the delicacies I tasted back at home. No one can ever replace mom's cooking..!! Mom is always the best chef! 3 more mths to go before I can finally taste her cooking again.

Ever since i started cooking on my own, I came to realise that cooking is not as simple as it seems to be. It's indeed easy to prepare a meal to fill your hungry tummy BUT to prepare a delicious meal that can put u into a state of euphoria is a little bit of a challenge. I never knew I would develop an interest in cooking but I guess i am now.

Hence, I hope not only to be a successful person in my studies or even career. Hopefully I'm capable of learning to be a good family chef and I wanna be able to cook for my mum especially and also for my family. It would definitely be a satisfaction for her to be able to see her son cooking for her one day. I promise I will...

Into the 2nd week of sem 2...

Here's some update bout my semester 2 in UniSyd. It feels like the repetition of sem 1 but i'm sure it's more challenging than ever this time around. Nevertheless, it seems that i'm more relaxed than b4..probably the assignments and exams havent come into picture juz yet. Nothing much going on in this 1st 2 weeks.

i'm having 4 lectures, 2 hours each per week, 4 tutorials, 1 hour each, & 3 additional study session known as Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS). All in all, i need 2 attend Uni for 15 hours per week, which is about 3 hours per day. Essentially, dat means i have 21 hours a day left. Dat is to sleep, eat, complete the homeworks, play my ps2, watch tv.... the end...
