today is a bad day.. lolz,
woke up in the morning at 9am and i tot i missed my first lesson. I thought my first lesson is at 830am...
well i went to the venue of my 2nd lesson (sociology) only to find myself in the middle of a business class -_-..
well so i went to library to check the venus again, well it tallied.. but the prob is, my module was drop.. i tot this was some kinda joke.. so i went to the school of humanity to complain.. (yeah complain..) well i reach there n log in the com there to find tat my tutorial class was withdrawn.. wth.... and i cldnt add drop... well.. so i went to disturb the person in charge there... feel like a toot tho... he told me lesson starts at 1030.. not 930 -_-
and tat i can onli add drop at 10am... (i did it at 957am...)
so i went back to library to add the subject n to attend the lesson again... sad... and in the end i still missed my 930am lesson.. x_X

heh, but on the bright side, it was good exercise too.. for those who noe... imagine going from hall4 to north spine lt4, den go to LWN library, den go back lt4, den go HSS building at south spine, den go back library to add module again, den go back lt4 for lesson again.. haha

but after going thru the socio lecture, i am a bit worried.. it seems this module requires quite a fair bit of effort compared to previous socio mods, dono whether i can do well anot.. haha
but since taken, might as well follow thru..hehe so tat's it liaoz..

hmm, crappy stuff i wrote in a forum today

Social problems.. A lot of people tends to think that social problems are undesirable effects faced by the society due to certain actions/behaviors or conditions. However, in my personal opinion, that is only half correct. I would rather think of it as problems which the elites bureaucrates (i.e. the ruling party) deem as detrimental to the society (rather than us). We tends to feel that it is "our" problem due to the fact of the social engineering that we went through since young. and that we tend to think in a certain mindset that is expected of us.
In my own opinion, the 3 most pressing matters will be corruption, terrorism and pollution.
i) Corruption
People tends to see poverty as a major issue as we read from the papers often that people die of starvation etc etc in places struck with poverty. However, i feel that the main problem here is not poverty... poverty is just the result. The cause will be corruption and since poverty is a major social problem, and corruption is (what i feel) causes it, i deem corruption as one of the 3 major social problem we are facing today.
As some of us might know, the World Bank does provide substantial amount of aids to countries suffering from poverty (mainly the 3rd world countries) but why doesn't this countries get any better? The money and resources given to these countries never went down to the people, it drains off bit by bit as it went through the whole system, and by some point, it will be mostly drained off. As a result, the people of these places continues to suffer and are never able to get out of the vicious cycle of poverty.
(Perhaps a lot of us do not really realise it as corruption in Singapore is rarely heard of, and those who are involved in such cases tends to be persecuted badly and seldom brought up again)
ii) Terrorism -
I feel that this is another social problem as their mere presence disrupt normal life of people. However, i do not understand what these mastermind behind terrorism are up to. They are no doubt very wealthy, or very knowledgeable people, what are their aims for terrorist movement? The first thing i thought of is to form an independent religious state, however, with the kind of technique they use, i doubt it will go anywhere.
However, more important than that, it will be how each of us view terrorism. Is it a sign that there is something really wrong with the world that such groups of extremist exist, or is it because they are merely disillusioned people who managed to be at the right place at the right time (Hitler?). I believe this has yet to be uncovered, nonetheless, it still poses as a major social problem as life before and after September 11 are worlds apart.
iii) Pollution -
Pollution to me is not merely and environmental problem, to me, it is a political problem, a social problem, etc. It is a problem that can be link to any aspect as our life depends on the earth.
Pollution throughout the world did not, over the past few years (even decade), decrease despite the fact that environmentalists' constant warning of the adverse consequences. Why is this so? Perhaps economic, political and social interest deemed by the ruling bodies of many countries out weighs the environmental interests in this issue. Currently this might be so as not much people feel the impact of such environmental degradation yet. But when what the environmentalist predicted happens one day, i guess it will be too late to regret. Although we might think it won't affect us in the near future, but sometimes i feel that we should look at this problem from the perspective of mankind as a species (and also the other species which will be destroyed should pollution-related problems worsens) rather than as a mere individual.

Above are the 3 major social issue that i felt are the most pressing in our current world. I rank them over others by their urgency, life implications and how extensive they are. Just my own opinion though, cheers

p.s. haha this is something i wrote in a state of half clear mind, so some of the descriptions are pretty blurred... =x

weird...

Just having a weird thought, why am i becoming less confident of myself? I dun remember myself being so inconfident... hmmm, sigh, today suddenly got the impulse to withdraw from design stream, and i cant even find substantial reason to do that, however, as i continue to check the schedule, i guess it isnt gonna be tat bad after all... well
for the entire 2nd year, my modules will be the same as the mainstream ppl except for the 2 diff mods i am taking now, year 3 wise, well... all different.. aha, year four, hmmm, doesnt matter, (half same half diff) cuz year 4 is specialisation year.. so bopian.. haha
haiz.. i muz be more confident of myself, hmm, i wan to excel.. how to excel with such low confidence and morale... i must ZHEN ZHUO... haha... jiayou to myself =P
