Well, you can see the chit chat column. One say my english has improved. the other say i need to brush my english. It show that my standard of English has been fluctuating.
It is no doubt. i had a fair share getting myself battered verbally online by working professional guy. I was told that he graduated from Chicago Business School with PhD and Master. What happened? Simply to say, i wrote amateur economics history and there is slightly misdirected information there as what he said.
Therefore, i will start writing indirect and short sentences. They will be much easier to understand. I have greatly realised after reading from him and from the UOL guide book. To improve your own standard of learning, you need a lot of patience to conquer your biggest difficult challenge.
I am proud to hear that Cherlyn has conquered her tax paper. Meanwhile for those who are struggling, you have to keep on trying. If my former DMS classmate, Benny can pass Business Law with sub-standard english, people who are very fluent in English and failed Business Law few months ago need to reflect on themselves. From what i know, DMS is taking its break now which means the main examination is over.
I am quite surprised that Benny told me that his english has deproved. Yet, he is in one of the toughest undergraduate course. For DMS 15th intake students, i wonder if they are struggling or not.
As for now, i know about local happening as much as i can but i am so 'green' when come to international stuffs. You won't believe how the foreginers treat you in business world. I am quite surprised because i haven't experienced before with Americans and UK. But then that was only when i deal with them as consumer myself. I happen to read that a local guy has a problem with dealing with American and German.
I will probably understand if i work there.
Awww, i am practically studying everything every day. So much things to learn and yet they are so interesting.
I wanted to write something interesting but i decided to postpone until i am ready to write it in full detail. As for now, i want to say that we,Singaporeans living in Singapore are only on 'page 1 of the thick book'. Yet the ones who work oveseas like in US or UK are on the 3/4 of pages of the thick book. Sigh, it made me more determined to work overseas. It gotta be harsher over there if I do work overseas. I never forget how Soros suffer.
My blog entry will be in 2nd week of December. It will be about life.
Drift 2(Japanese Movie 2007)
Synopsis & Opinions:
Oh well, I couldn't find any suitable synopsis online. I have to write a little about what this movie is about. It is just more on homemade movie on pure drift. I am not sure there is really CGI. But from what i feel, there is no CGI during drifting battle.
Rating:5/10

As the pregnancy advances, life with Earl seems less tolerable, a way out less clear, and the affair with the doctor complicated by his marriage. What options does a waitress have?

Hmmm, it is quite unique movie. No stars,no flashy stunts.. The story goes like usual women problem. The ending is one big stunner. She was willing to take the risk to get her own freedom.

Synopsis:
When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI's Cyber Crime Division; the Director decides to round up all the hackers who could have done this. When he's told that because it's the 4th of July most of their agents are not around so they might have trouble getting people to get the hackers. So he instructs them to get local PD'S to take care of it. And one of the cops they ask is John McClane who is tasked with bringing a hacker named Farrell to the FBI. But as soon as he gets there someone starts shooting at them. McClane manages to get them out but they're still being pursued. And it's just when McClane arrives in Washington that the whole system breaks down and chaos ensues.
Opinions:
It is excellent movie that is truly parallel to Bourne Ultimatum. Full of action coupled with a realistic plot to hack whole US computer system. This movie need no introduction or comment from me. It is already well-known to you.
