recession makes me grow up even faster
everyone knew that recession is here. you heard people saying that they are feeling the impact of the recession. do they really feel the impact? some people may say that they lost some paper money on their investment. but those loses are unrealised and as long as you are able to hold on til the crisis is over, you sld b fine.
i have being through a few financial crisis: 1997 asia financial crisis and this current crisis. but i never really felt the impact until now because i finally understood that the impact will only be felt when your family lost the main source of income.
i just realised that my family has lost the main source of income. suddenly, i felt the impact of recession. suddenly, i truly understand that Cash is KING. suddenly, there's a high possibility that i will be providing for the whole family as soon as i graduate.
it's amazing how things have changed over the 3 years. in my first year of undergraduate, i didn't think about going for better job cos im contented with what i have and i just want to finish my course smoothly. i dun need to worry financially cos my family was still doing fine and i have my scholarship allowance
in my second year, i was tempted by the more glamorous and high paying jobs, so much so that i regretted taking up the scholarship.
in my 3rd year, first, there was the economy downturn and some of my friends can't even find jobs. suddenly it seemed like having a scholarship and a rather decent job was a fortunate and lucky thing. as of 30 jan 2009, i felt that a scholarship was really a blessing in disguise because i managed to have some savings from the scholarship and these amount should be able to see me through until i start work in june. though in the process, i may have to give up certain luxuries: my bangkok trip in march, cfa level 2 examination in jun, grad trip, unnecessary items like new clothes and a new bag etc.
it's amazing how my views on my scholarship award can fluctuate so drastically in a time span of 3 years.
some side notes:
1) i managed to pass my cfa level 1 examination. worldwide passing rate is 35%
2) i donated blood for the first time today. surprisingly, i quite like the experience. it's pleasant and meaningful
3) perhaps i sld buy some toto for next wk's toto ang bao 2009
4) i will be looking for some part time job from now onwards.
Year 2009 started on a rather bad note. hope it will be better in the coming months

Are you teaching tuition?
hi buddy. nope, im not teaching tuition cos i realised i am not a gd teacher. haha. am trying to look for internship, though market is bad and intern pay isn't v high. see how things go
Hmm dude. Let us know if you need any help. Tuition is actually one of the easiest ways for an undergrad to get extra cash. You should consider it, anyway learning how to teach better will improve yourself too. :)
