Education ... updates

Been firing blanks  for the last 3 attempts when I've logged into my own blog, started with a few topics, mind was completely blank.

Anyhow, first an update on my life.

My contract with Deutsche Bank has been extended to 31 July 2013, as at 12 June 2013, I'd have been with the Bank for 1 full year, accomplished my initial target of etching the full year on my CV.

Korea is done, not over, flights and accommodation are confirmed, lucky bastard got a cheap flight from Changi Airport -> KLIA -> Seoul for freaking $537.00NETT. Friend paid $570ish to fly via scoot keke ! So happened to be on MAL site and noticed the 24hr promo.

School has officially ended, come April or rather, after this weekend, it'd be crunch time. Management Accounting is the tough nut to crack, there's a ACCA undergrad sis at home, hope I'll be able to pass.

A few gadgets died. Dropped my phone on a cab, gone for good, been phoneless for 2 full weeks, ain't any inconvenience to me, more to others. Bought a Motorola Razr V3 maroon, it'd be here by 2nd week of April :)) My PS3 went Y-LOD-ed, there's ways to fix it but I'm too lazy, might do it after my papers.


Exact pic of my soon-to-be-new mobile. That's about it folks, oh the mobile cost USD45.00 + USD25.00 shipping and I think i need to pay USD20.00 to unlock it, not the cheapest of phones but it's a legendary one, then.

Oh work's a bundle of joy these days, finally settling in and all, of course some people still spy on me, I couldn't care less aha~ Next entry should be on my work environment !!! DONE!~

Education

The topic came to mind when one of my juniors in secondary school commented on her Facebook.

" What do you do when someone you doesn't like smile at you?
My initial reaction was to smile back. However, when I realized who that person was, I abruptly stopped smiling, turned and walked in the opposite direction.
Kun Kun reprimanded me and said that it was not a professional thing to do as I have to set a good example. He claimed that I have to smile back even if I do not want to. But.. doesn't that border on being hypocritical?
Surprisingly, my Dad heard our debate and supported his stand. After which, upon my insistence, they demonstrated how to smile (looks awful) and nod simultaneously. Undoubtedly, you don't look good when you are forced to smile at someone you have no wish to smile at. Guess I will have to practise and try it out. In future, I will smile as minimal as possible and nod the slightest fraction to acknowledge that irksome smile."


She is a Civil Servant, Government Salaried Worker, an Educator or often known as a teacher. Her reaction was solely due to her own set of beliefs that being fake is worst than being rude, then, the sad truth sets in, as an educator, you can be fake, BUT not rude. Period. It's really sad, but I'd just simply put it as "occupational hazard"




Then Kim Ha-Neul popped up. She acted as a teacher in a korean drama, A Gentleman's Dignity, a very firm and no-nonsense teacher with a bubbly and hysterical character. 

During one of the scenes, she said 

"I want to beat you boys up so you can't fight, but what can I do, that's the law. You guys don't obey the law but I must, it's really unfair"


She made the boys pitch and hit 1,000 baseballs each, so that their arms will be so sore they can no longer lift em up, let alone fight.

So, what is the essence of Education?
Academic achievements?
Moral Values?
Knowledge?

When being fake itself, it's against moral values, yet a teacher has to uphold the image as an educator, fake a smile so that she isn't deemed rude, to appease the society's absurd, opinionated shallow assumptions. Absolute disgust ~

I don't know what education is, I never once did, guess I was right.

Disclaimer: I did not condemn Education itself, I merely disapprove the SYSTEM, governing education.

Can't believe I actually took time to update and maintain our YEI Forum. Never knew I could be this crazy, but I know 1 thing for sure, it's never too late to start? But I'm really, growing too old for this. Ye Eun simply gorgeous! Credit: yeeun-impact.net / yeeun.wordpress.com And I blew up during dinner...
While caking, someone pop right into my head. Anyway, my top strength is: 1. Ideation: loves associating and providing ideas 2. Command: leadership, loves to put his ideas through 3. Futurist: star-trek 4. Individualisation: view individual base on strength weakness, not stereotyping 5. Learner: keen to learn In short, I'm a futuristic creative open commander! Sounds awesome eh? Strength Finder 2.0 is a book that only concentrate on strengths ($39.00) zero about weaknesses so all you hear are good stuff. ======= Individualisation Anyway back to my caking session. Mr Ibrahim, came to my mind. He was quite a good looking Indian back in my primary school days. I've always tried to protect him though I admit to join in bullying him once in a while. Sometimes he'd come to me "begging" to help him or lend him money with his hands in "praying mode". I took pity of him ever since he did that once and when he told me "All i got is 40cents a day and they sto...

The Pioneer LX55 Bluray Player Review

Pioneer Corporations, once the leading company for Home Theatre Systems, Display and Optical players, began to falter when the likes of Samsung, LG, Sharp etc came into picture with lower end products for the mass consumer. Pioneer, who steer clear form the niche market, producing high end products, fell to it's knees, withdrawing from the TVs market and started a joint venture with Sharp, resulted in absolute catastrophe. Pioneer fanboys nicknamed the products "Sharpioneer" A bold direction, right or wrong, there's too much points to take, although myself would 200% standby their decision to continue with making highend products previously, even though they failed eventually. Anyhow, ever since that catastrophic "Sharpioneer" released, tons of consumers ditched their players within days of purchases, the management finally woke the FUCK UP. Director Product Planning and Marketing Pioneer USA, Chris Walker started visiting multiple online forums, gat...
