Most of my life i have been a relatively lazy person with little drive to feed my ambition. I remember that the only time that my drive fed the ambition was when i woke up one morning in sec 4 and asked myself what i wanted to do with my life. I guess it made me study just that little bit harder for prelims and Os. That drive was soon lost after that as i found myself in a foreign land, with foreign people and a foreign culture. Its been 7 long years since i've felt that drive.

Well, its back again, and this time i'm going to make sure it stays for good. I've been piling myself up with heaps of things to do so i cant say i've got nothing to do. Life is short, and time is of the essence. Mum has always been perplexed as to why i can be bored as she spends almost all of her time reading and attending courses to improve herself. Well its time to be like mum.

I've realised that its really not how much you put into work, its how you do it.I've tried a different approach to studying and learning.My purpose is not to read the lecture notes and memorise it nor understand it, but to understand the overall aim of the lecture by reading widely in the form of journals and newspapers. Everyday for the last 2 weeks i have been going through cnn, bbc, reuters, australia times, australian financial review, and even business times on a daily basis.I must admit that the world of knowledge is extremely addictive that i now find myself ignoring the ignorant and hoping to start intellectual talk with those who do read widely.

Knowledge is a powerful thing,i'm pretty pissed with myself for wasting so many years of my life on computer games and television.I have officially uninstalled my warcraft and will try my very best to stay away from it.Time spent away from it has been very well spent.

I guess being away from home and not being able to do the things i want to do where i want to be has given me a big slap in the face.Took me awhile to realise that i'm relatively far ahead of the norm in terms of education and should not let anyone catch up. Perhaps many years in the future i will look upon today as the day that i saved myself from wasting my life away.

**Disclaimer** The following post will be excessively biased towards various cultures and races

What have i learnt from my years overseas? Well, let me try and sum them up!
1) The better an indian smells, the richer he is. In all seriousness, the richer indians actually use cologne, and the rest just stick to their stinky shit
2) The bigger the eyes of an indian, the more he likes to talk rubbish.
3) As a result of bobbling their heads for centuries, indians like owls, can turn their heads 360 degrees, NOT
4) The darker an indian's skin is, the quieter they are
5) I spend the most in the first 2 weeks and the last 2 weeks of semester
6) People on ebay buy just about anything
7) Dog and Cats secretly love each other
8) Prescribed textbooks are useless 99% of the time, the other 1% of the time that i dont buy the book, they turn out to be really good books
9) Trinity students dress and talk like they are trinity students, they all look the same
10) Nothing beats living in a hostel with 45 other people. Nothing
11) The world needs an alarm clock that changes tunes everyday, the same tune everyday just doesnt wake you up as well
12) I still dont know when daylight savings is
13) Dell desktop computers really aren't that bad
14) Southbank is inhabited by indonesians, suburbs are inhabited by china toots, city is inhabited by malaysians and singaporeans, and indians live in trees
15) Singapore? Where's that? Is it a fishing village? Do you live on stilt homes?
16) Singapore? Isnt it really stressful? No Chewing gum? That sucks!
17) Singapore? Which suburb do u stay in?
18) Where is Singapore?
19) Malaysians say curzon, Singaporeans say cousin
20) Duck down quilts were a gift from above, without which i wouldnt have survived
21) Men cologne last forever. mine is still at 80% after 10 years
22) Indian people really just want you to look them in the face and say that they rock, are the smartest, know everything, and that you admire them
23) German efficiency is a fact
24) Germans laugh funny
25) The French speak beautiful english
26) Caucasians ask questions like "How do you feel about the ongoing war on humanity", Asians ask questions like "Where did you get that?"
