too many things
2 disasters happened recently. every victim in these 2 disaster (in china and myanmar) deserves our help.
There has being a lot of calls for donations. however, i was quite sad that most of the donations will be going to china. this is also 1 incident that further strengthen my belief that a strong, uncorrupted government is very important.
I can't blame people for not donating to myanmar because they may be worried that the corrupted military government may abuse the donations. however, i choose to donate my money to myanmar. simply because, I am willing to take the risk, cos the people there really need our help and money. i believe that the international community will enforce proper accountability and use of these donations. i believe and i hope so. secondly, everyone is donating to china, so i believe there should be sufficient money available to help the china people.
More importantly, i do believe that the victims in china need more than just money. i think they need more pairs of hands to help retrieve the bodies from the rubbles. if the china people just need money, i don't think we need to donate much because the chinese government has trillions dollars of reserve that they can use for such emergency causes. i mean, if they can spend billions of dollars revamping beijing to prepare for the upcoming olympic 2008 and invest billions in US banks during the sub-prime crisis, it's clear that china has the necessary financial resources to help the chinese people.
but i doubt i can say so for the myanmar people and i pity them for having such a government that's like SHIT.
i don't like my internship. in fact, i rather spend 4 hours in school training for my case competitions than to spend 4 hrs interning. i really benefited much more. many companies claimed that the internship pay is low because it's the learning that counts. and hence i felt very frustrated when i don't learn much, because im wasting my time away. i wished my internship ends asap.
some people told me that i shouldn't expect to get alot of internship allowance because the company alr gave me a sum of allowance yearly for my studies. maybe i should clarify that i don't expect to get what goldman sachs pay for their interns, but i think 700 bucks is still abit unacceptable, because i m not learning much. also, the yearly allowance is in exchange for me working for a number of years with the company after i graduate. it doesn't mean they can short-change me for my internship.
2 years ago, i thought i knew what i want, what industry i wan to be in. 2 years on, i have a better idea because i have seen more of this world to know what i should expect.
