Today Course

Attended the SQL course but in the end found out that i do not have the right to access the real production database table. What an ironic.

Today 27th ?

This morning wake up as usual, take breakfast, read newspaper and at around 815am go out home and take public transport to HQ to attend courses that started at 9am. When reached HQ, i started to look for the venue. In HQ there are only 2 rooms occupied with PC which located at 2nd and 3rd floor. I have looked for the whole building but did not see any instructor and trainees around. By then it is 855am. I start to panic. I quickly rush to the resource center and login into my email to look at the email that contain course information. Finally i manage to locate the email and read carefully. It stated that the course commence on 27 to 28 Mar Tue to Wed, 9am to 5pm. Finally i realise it was my mistake to think that today is 27 Mar. How careless am i. Then went to bus stop to wait for the bus. Today really unlucky, i waited for 40 mins then the bus arrived.

Traffic Accident Again

Whenever i read newspaper on bike accident, i was so worried for all my friends that ride bike to work or to study and hopefully their names is not there. Today another news on bike accident near Thomson and the rider died. I remember when i was a aircraft technician, one of my colleague had met an accident with a lorry/ truck when he ride bike to work. He was immediately send to hospital. Due to he was seriously injure and need lots of blood transfusion that almost use up all the hospital blood bank. All of his friend including i which is underweight went to the hospital to donate blood to save his life. Luckily our effort are not wasted, his life was saved but he become handicap. His leg and arm all arm with metal. He cannot do exercise anymore. As for me, after the blood donation, my whole body not pain but "sour". Have seen doctor but unable to know the causes. Finally went to see Chinese doctor and know that i am not suitable to donate blood instead others should donate blood to me. The body "sourness" lasted about a month then my body recover.

Single

How to not feel lonely when alone ?
Alot of friends and relatives have asked me when don't find a partner ? But they should know that alot of things are depend on fate.
Being single, i can simply play computer game, read books, msn, watch TV on my own without afraiding disturb others. I dont care what is happening outside of the house.
Being single, i am carefree, everywhere can be my home and can also not my home. Home to a single is just a place for resting. When not feeling good, i can just pack and go to look for another place without the need to say goodbye or give reasons to explain to anyone.
Being single i can have the right to love anyone and don't love anyone. Any different in love or not love ? Sometime you will feel that you get hurt easily when falling in love. To a lazy people love need alot of energy and time to maintain. Why not when feel boring just watch TV, reading books or window shopping which is more relaxing.

Poly Fees

Today i take a look at our GTA the polytechnic enrolment notices and know that the semester fees is about $1200 which is after deduction of the government tuition grant. Then they are also required to buy a laptop which costs between $1400 to $1950. That is quite expensive for the lower income group. They may not have the abilities to forge out such a big sum of money. I advised them to get some help from their MP if they need immediate help or apply the bursary from the poly and taking study loan from the bank if they are able to pay for the first semester fees.
By taking this example, i advised my own class students to start saving the money for their further education and not anyhow spending money in the unnecessary things eg. magazine, latest handphone, rings etc. Not all parents can afford to send in their child to study in tertiary education as it will added the burden to their existing tight budget.
The question is will these students listen to my advise ? As they are still quite young, they do not know the hardship of earning the money. I wondering is there any generation gap between me and them as in my generation, we save the money for the future. In case there is any unforeseen circumstances, i still got money to solve the unexpected hiccup. In the newer generation, they will most likely spend all the money that they have in their pocket. They do not prepare for the future. Anything happen they just get help from their parents.

Crying

Today intended to use one of the trainee recorded voice in doing the labsheet 8.The reasons why i chosen the female recorded voice are the recorde voice is short, clear and funny. This female student refuses but i insisted. In the end she cried and i had no choice but to choose others which are longer one. To me, the institution is a training ground to train trainee not only the academic or technical skill but also some social skill. In the real world if the boss wanted the thing to be done in his ways, the employees have to obey. There is no reason to reject or even thinking that crying can solve the problem.
