~Time flies~

Indeed, time flies...

Today will be the last day of lesson before our coming chinese new year. It seems like all perfectly planned. The rest will be exams and doing a 5000 words thesis for graduation. The 1st day seemed just like last month.


I remembered when i was watching over one of the cabinet minister's home overnight in December 2007, i went to the backyard's washroom mirror and asked myself. "To resign or not to resign"? To "further take a communication degree or a business degree?" Eventually i resigned, and have a few months of relaxation,while trying on other interviews and jobs,worked some part time, before i decided to enrol upon an advance Diploma in mass com, firstly, to see for myself what it is like, that God gives me a strong hint to hit onto. Nevertheless i never give up my part time class. I have last 2 modules to clear. Because having cleared 4 modules, i was not able to give up everything,so decided to carry on with the part time class, but at a slower pace.

2 Advance diplomas and 1 degree, i guess that will be fine. Albeit my family and relatives most of them do business, i knew i have a flair for it too, given by having good imagination and creativity, and also tactical and strategic mind. When my father was still alive many years ago, he had wanted me to take up both Business and Law, due to his point of view of being a businessman, and law such as business law is essential. Master degree? Yes, perhaps in years to come, on my own.


Yes,if one is a brilliant person/leader, they should be cross-trained. Although they can specialize in one field of area.


From my opinion, with tactical and strategic mind, u can easily overcome or beat any more intelligent but stagnant minded people around you. Leveraging on them,making them under your leadership. But you have to prove your character strong enough to stand on top of them, making them under your feet.


When people heard of my 2 adv diplomas, not too sure what their feelings or thoughts were like. Perhaps, they were thinking, "Wah, so pia(wah,so hardworking)"? Perhaps, they were thinking, " Greedy"...perhaps..."Wah,ai zai(wah,steady)".... Or perhaps, "Does he know what he want"?

Haha. Whatever it is, my point is that whatever people have, when i have double, although it can't be all the best, i"ll still make sure i deserve them all.

Having talked to my ex-lecturers around mdis, i feel that being a lecturer is indeed, a worthy career to consider. Pay can be as high as 1k plus per day. Please be advised that a "part time" lecturer's remuneration can too, be more than a fix pay of a full time lecturer. I'll consider being one in 10 years time, which is in the mid 30,as one of the lecturers i came across agreed with me that at least at the age of 30plus you will deem more mature, stable and have likely to accumulate years of experience in your field of work than being a very young one, which students may not respect as much, or may climb over your head. So being more mature itself does on the impression, makes you more credible.

Requirements for lecturer? A Master degree with some years of working experience in your related industry. Or a PHD holder.

Anyway some teaching services or MOE require certain degree to have certain honours. Degree with no honours are not eligible, or requires another method, which is to go into NIE for another year, just to be trained to be a teacher. But all will be paid at an attractive salary.

Definitely if one can go for the honour degree, it should be better,however more stressful,as compared to a degree without honour. In Multi-national corporations, they will likely require to see your honour to determine your pay, just like the governments home team. If not, they will regard a degree without honour as a pass degree. But whatever it is, live for your passion, don't brood over all these honours or no honours thiny. Look at what your opportunity lies in front of you, so don't fret,or try to go against the force.

As i've seen the degree choices for Mass Coms are either ECU, OCU, RMIT, and Murdoch. All are without honours. Degree Choices for Business Management are either Bradford(Honours), ECU,Wales(Honours),UCD(Honours) and much much more. So it seems like Business management course provides better degree choices from UK with Honours than Mass Com.

Once again my conclusion is that, don't fret, just do what you have done, look at the opportunity that already lies ahead of you, and do your best on it,the rest leave it to nature.
