Soooooo, I finally started blogging officially again after so so long!And the funny thing that is that I'm blogging when it's just like 12 hours away from accounting paper !
And another thing that's funny is that although I don't know my accounting stuff well enough, I'm procrastinating like mad! See, that's why I'm hereee.
P.s, the photo of the cupcakes is just a photo that I put there because I think this post is too wordy xD
And it's intriguing because this blog was supposed to be my blogshop! And the background was pinkish and all and it was so cute!
I actually wanted to use CMS to make blog pretty pretty but I ended up not doing so cos tomorrow accounting paper leh! And that is also too much of a hassle.
Hmmm so first of all, this year has been a really HECTIC year. Yes hectic. But I'll probably save that for my end of year resolution and blahblah.
So many things happened over this short year that passed by so fast.
I really should go read more about stuff on being happy and appreciative and stuff like that! Because ever since I came into poly I really thought about stuff more often already, as well as have a shift in paradigm!
Anyway, recently something struck me. I don't know what's with me and Tauruses seriously. Haha. They somehow will make an impact on my life in one way or another, the best and the worst, ever since primary school O_O . I think should be coincidence. I'm not that superstitious, but my mum keeps showing me those stuff! Recently my mum has become very philosophical ;) .
School & Grades
Back to like now? Ya the first thing that I'm thinking is that I probably should have been in another course lol. And that I only realised when I came to year 2. Oh well, too late, can't really change anything now already. I'm actually benefitting from my course's system, but it's really irritating that GPA really determines how 'good' a person is. Which I quite strongly object. You can't be good in everything c'mon. As there is a quote:
Jack of all traits, master of none
So ya, DBIT's course structure is only scrapping the core of each module we're learning, and unless you really go learn in depth a bit by yourself, you can practically do nothing in the real world. Having the knowledge of Java, HTML and PHP doesn't even make you count as a programmer at all. And I feel quite sad for some of my classmates. They really dislike programming a lot, and all had initially wanted to get into Entrepreneurship, but end up they feel they all can't. Why? Because there are only 4 freaking spots ._. .
So yea, I did consider taking entrepreneurship for certain reasons ahem. I feel that I'll be able to get in also because I really have a passion of being an entrepreneur and that I feel confidence is the key. As long as you make it to the interview stage, it means you have a chance to blow the interviewers away. Maybe that's just how I feel ba :) . Howeverrr, apparently I'm not supposed to go entrepreneurship anyway, and if I did, my oitp will be revoked. <- -_- .
Whatever anyway, I preferred doing IT stuff from the start, it's just that I'm really concerned about the future that's why. Some people may think that I probably will want to go into the IT field next time and stuff and do programming and blabla but for me I think no. I want to use my programming skills to aid my business skills, which it's really the reason why I'm in this course, but then I realised the business modules taught are the most boring modules and not what I want to learn at all.
I apologise to anybody who might take offence from this, but this is what I feel.
I learn my IT skills properly, I get to hone them. Anyone at all can actually start a business. Anyone at all. Just look at Mr TCS. He told me before he also has his own business. But he really programs. So why do you have to go into the field of business just to learn how to set up your own business?
I do agree that studying business related subjects will like help you abit lah. But end of the day is really something very individual.
And that brings me back to the education system. of GPA. GPA doesn't even determine how good or skilled that person is. Neither does A level results. It's quite ridiculous if you tell me. If that is the case, a person who can study from books very well and get A in every single subject by just pure studying is good and skilled. Which is what is happening in our very society today. The only thing is that might be useful is where it at most does help gauge the level of practical skills (But that's if you only look at individual module marks perhaps) And then again, you might not be even fluent in that skill but you still can get A.
I feel quite sad when I hear people say they're not smart and stuff like that. I believe that people are smart, they're just smart in different areas, they just haven't discovered what they're truly good at.
As for me, I feel quite blessed, because through poly, I found what I enjoy doing, and what I think I'm supposed to be good at I guess? I don't think I will venture into a field too contrasting from the field that I'm in now.
So ya which brings me back to point 1. I feel GPA is really an irritating way for the school/Singapore and everything to judge us on that.
Aaand, I still have to keep my GPA up sigh :( . Which is a burden. I think I'm super lazy though.
So yay now that I'm done with that topic...
