yep yep been dormant for a few months for now in my blog coz been too lazy to blog. Tommorrow is my last paper already and cant wait for it to finish. But after that need to continue to use my brain sheesh... no break. Need to work on the following things:

1. Think about the stuff that I am going to research on in Sydney (mm link between IT Indian students and why they want to come Australia in short)
2. Planning out the whole orientation program for Monash College next year (yep i am getting paid for it by Monash International)
3. Starting on my next year honours thesis on Higher Education management
4. of course doing no-brainer job at Officeworks- stock take etc etc

Life is pretty boring and i wanted to talk about this issue a long time already. it is with regards to the Australian Vietnamese who is going to be hanged for smuggling drugs in Singapore. Well typical Australian to come up with all sorts of excuses and reasons to protect this young man's life. I really sympathise with him and his family, however he took the chance and he must be prepared to pay for it. I mean some argue that a death sentence is far to dear for any offences BUt please consider the fact that at least respect each country's legislation no matter how barbaric that one can perceived. well typical australian again, trying to use good relations etc etc to influence other countries and threaten to revoke trading ties... mmm maybe this is not for the majority of Australians but.. well the next thing they will ask if for extraterritorial rights which were granted in the colonial period. I say HANG him... not because i support the death penalty or what. But it is well publicized that Singapore will hang any drug smugglers and i guess the government will not give face to anybody including the US (remembering back in 1994 where we caned the little bad boy Michael Fay who vandalised our infrastructure) I personally ahd send an email to the minister urging him not to bend into Australian influence. yup you can get petitions, you can pray and hope for him, but well let him be an example to others not to smuggle drugs through Singapore. He can swim through Bintan or Batam for all i care... maybe also can bribe his way though... but definitely not Singapore. i hate the commenter in the Herald Sun who said that "Australia plays a large role in educating Singaporean and it is time for her to show some compassion..." grow up fucker asshole... we pay huge money here and we are not here for free... this showed the narrow mindset of Australians who thinks that the world circled around them etc etc.. come on, i think may international students here in Australia can say that the standards of education are not as high as the standards that are normally publicised in public.. we are being treated like shit here even though we are paying big bucks... the government is changing the ESOS act to allow universities to charge us compulsory fees... so to fund those local student protests????!!!! BULLSHIT... trust me it is not the university's fault (i hope) but maybe the whole Australia fault and we cannot just blame specific individuals or groups... mmm just look at the government... treating us like cash cows and fucking assholes cannot even give us transport concessions!!!!!!

Oops getting much emotional here... i retract all sentences that i had type and i apologise to the people who takes pride in multiculturalism but yet still show signs of discrimination towards international people who pay big bucks to fund their daily activities.
