Yep, its the very same place we stayed when we went to do dealings where "ta jia dou shi hua ren". The house, where the only entertainment was watching the clock. This time when we went, the owners of the house Ir. Dr. Ong Chin Chai, his wife Irene Ong and daughter Debbie were staying there. And I'm sad to say that the clock is no more.
The famous clock
But now, the clock is no more. and in its place A FULL HD LG TV together with A HOME THEATER SYSTEM!!!
And now instead of the Stress-O-Releaser that Andre wore on his head,
We now have, Kekule and the Benzene Ring!
After chilling at his house for a while, We and Debbie headed for KLCC. Where we found out how Australians call people.
Fact : Debbie has been studing in Australia for about 8 years or so.
Malaysian way of calling a person : Oii!
Australian way of calling a person : (whisper) err...emm...emm...
Conclusion : When you want to call a person, the Malaysian way is still the best. Oii!
We then headed to the fair to check out the booths, Debbie wanted to shop, so she left us. The fair was huge! The booths were very creatively designed and very colourful. And the place was full. Alvin went there intending to ask about accounting and me to find out more about the Taylor's Engineering Course. After walking around and talking to the various colleges i find that Engineering is still the best option for me, wherelse Alvin after listing to the counsellors decided that accounting is not the route for him and decided that buisness management was the path for him.
We then went to listen to the talk on resession proff jobs. And believe it or not, the tree resession proof jobs that were presented that day was, the policeforce, hairdressing and DJ-ing. However out of these 3, the guy that gave the talk on Hairdressing, Mr Charles something, was the most convincing. He actually talked sense. "Everybody needs a haircut, who ever you are boy or girl. Even the one with no hair take care of their hair, in fact they spend more time on their no hair than people with hair! so i would say that yes, hairdressing is a resession proof job" From the way he talked I could see that he really had passion for his job. For finally at the end of the day, it all boils down to passion. Working with no passion will earn you the money but not the satisfication. And without that one cannot rise. One must have a true passion for his job, then no challenge will be a challenge cause no challege will seem impossible to you.
After that we went to eat lunch at manhatten fish market where i ate dory fish in garlic butter. then we went back to hall where this time Sunny Yee was giving a talk for Physic and Add maths. Very good. Then later was was the talk on engineering. All the speakers were doctrates, on in Chemical, one in Electrical and Electronic and the other in Mechanical engineering. And all chinese. Yeah Chinamen rock!
The talks were very informative, esp the last one. He talked about how engineers make the world spin and that we would all be living in the stone age if not for engineers. He said that engineering is a very stressful but very rewarding profession. Statistics show that an 30 year old engineer earns about 250K a year. And according to him once you reach 50 years of age, you will be earning MILLIONS a year. He ended with a satement :
The antelope wakes up every morning knowing it has to out run the fastest lion to survive.
The lion wakes up every morning knowing it has to outrun the slowest antelop to survive.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether your an antelop or a lion.
When the sun is up, You better start running!
antelope = you
lion = competitor
I learnt a lot during the Edu fair, and am now more focused in my future career path. Now all i can do is submit my plans to the Lord and continue living my life.
EXCUUSEEE MEE!?!?!??!!
