Curtin University Summer Graduation 2009
The 60th open-air graduation ceremonies and possibly the last open-air graduation for Curtin University.
Just like any other graduation ceremonies in the world, we are bombarded with endless inspiring speeches. However, a speech gave by an old balding guy caught my attention. He started off by describing his childhood life as a country boy (Background sound: Moo! Moo!).
He went on to quote JFK’s speech on the Chinese word for ‘crisis’, which consist of two different character, ‘Danger’ and ‘Opportunity’. In times of danger, there are opportunities. Very inspiring but not quite true, the mandarin word for ‘crisis’ had been misquoted by many again and again.
Then again, the misquoted word for ‘crisis’ is much more meaningful.
The great old Lao-Tzu (Father of Taoism) said: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Here we go!
Slappy White has a really good advice for all jobless fresh grads, “The trouble with unemployment is that the minute you wake up in the morning you’re on the job.”

Before and After the Architectural Dissertation Submission…
Celebration, happiness, am glad this whole madness is about to end, it was really hectic but the journey was worthwhile, looking forward to blog again.
A picture says a thousand words, “Food has lost it’s taste. Colours seem dull. Things that used to matter, just no longer do.” Speaking of food, do you know that one can taste racism through food? Basically one needs to eat the same food of the same flavor/aroma/taste over and over again, and when one is about to puke blood and die a horrible dead due to the thoughts having to eat the same food again and again, that is how one taste racism, because these racist people believed in a monotonous society, thus, they ought to lead a monotonous tasteless life.
If one sincerely believes in the superiority of their race, walk the talk by consuming the same food over and over again.Food for thought for those racist bastards in Malaysia, especially those in the government sector and the New Economic Policy that does no good for the country except for a few elite from the ruling government.
