i spent the past hour or so in the blogosphere.
and i really enjoyed it thoroughly! HAHA!
was kinda fun knowing views of different people on the GST hike.
i think i wouldn't even bother about this if i weren't doing economics.
previously, GST to me, is just GST! it's just another type of tax.
now, there's like much more to it. it's really so intriguing!
learning economics is sure 1 thing i never regretted.
instead, why the heck did i even say "i hate economics and i won't ever indicate this choice for streaming" last year? this has really made me realise so many things other subjects cannot. like, so what if you learn languages? the only thing which i think will be useful to me in the future is letter writing. i don't think you go round answering people's questions like answering comprehension questions. and sciences? it's not of really much use unless you're gonna be a teacher, chemist, biologist, doctor or in the fields of architecture and life sciences. knowing simple maths may be useful but not exactly everything will be put to use too. physical geography doesn't bother much adults too. like who will be living thousands of years to witness those processes leading to formation of such things. it's like you have the knowledge, but it's not fun because you can't witness it or apply it in many areas. whereas economics, i would say at least some can be applied in life. like previously, i only know that bak-kwa sellers sell bak-kwa at high prices during CNY seasons so they can earn more money. then now, i see how it all fits in. it's like now, i have a deeper understanding of how selling it at higher prices during CNY only will allow them to earn more.
it has changed my mindset too. from not caring anything about GST to wanting to know so much more about it. there's like this eagerness in me to want to know more, to increase my knowledge. and also, i used to want to go to poly and end my education route. but now, i'm like more of looking forward of going to a JC because i wanna learn more! and those things about 'economics in action' mr G has been talking about, seems so interesting i can't wait to find out. just that the way he says those things are a bit too boring. but so what? it doesn't make me lose interest in the subject itself.
never let go of opportunities. you never know what you're gonna get out of it until you've experienced it.
i think learning economics has enabled me to see things in a wholly different way.
looking forward to english lesson on friday!
i'm not so sure about the remedial lessons though.
7 lessons, 1 and a half hour each, seems draggy.
but then, it's still for the sake of english right...
gah..
think i'll be so tired 1st day of school next year.
my mother suddenly planned this trip to genting.
at the end of the year, i mean literally.
which means that i won't spend the new year in singapore.
and it's like friday all the way to tuesday.
the next day, school will reopen and i'll be dozing off.
but anyway, i just take it as the last break before all that hectic routines come in.
it's strange i'm never looking forward to 27th november.
now that i think of it... LOL!
should be turning in now.
it's 12plus already.
there's physics, combined humanities, chinese & chemistry tomorrow.
the lessons which can make me doze off anytime.
at least there isn't maths and geography.
=]
i feel weird blogging.
it's just like another way of jingwei talking to jingwei.
-.-
i failed once again @ 11:44:00 pm
