Obama mentioned not once but several times, that he will make them tough decisions, something that you do realize that Bush never mentioned. Maybe it was a smart rhetoric choice on Obama's part, but more likely it was a policy choice, that hard decisions had and will still have to be made.
Essentially, why I really like Obama is cause his grounded. His not like the fly high Hollywood dreamy star-glazed eyes dreamer, he is the grounded in reality yet hope and dream giver. And he resembles the life that is sensible and good, and maybe I should get back to the topic.
Its ma first summer here and I chose to stay in the States. Not because I don't miss ma friends and family, I do. When I go back, I will go down tampin la, and eat all the good shit back home and proly go down batu pahat to see the wall paintings ONLY too! (mind you, only to see the cool wall paintings! Lol)
Anyway, one of the main choices I had to make: to stay here or to go home during summer? I wanted to take courses, but found out summer fees are higher so screw it. class quality also not so high cause its more cramped n teachers are more limited in choices to choose from. Another thing was also that I wouldn't have nothing to do at home sides party, dine, wine, beer, lots of it!!! but no much work and no much learning to do. I wanted to be pushed beyond my comfortable zone, yet I missed all things that are home. But I decide to stay here la, cause one, ma sis's friend introduced a book selling program, could learn some important skills in sales! Can also earn some money and finally can see the southern part of America! O and the great group of people too! So far so good, finally sleeping in a real bed in a real house lol! Sorry la, school dorm sucks, ma friends couch that I slept on since leaving school sucks even more! Ma sheets smell of the smoke lingering in his living room that I slept in for a week. Ma boss in this sales program asked me come over early so I agree lo, and now here I am in a very cool and nice house! Lool!
The other choice I'm thinking bout? To study masters anot? Brains, sorry la not to be cocky but I know im definitely above average even in the top 5-10% la among peoples. But what bout the money? Probably get some scholarship lo when I graduate with minimum 3.95 gpa. And wanna get into ivy league school too since undergrad no famous school lol. And then wanna do wat subject? Econs? Kinda interested. Or still aerospace eng? Since this is ma field of expertise and interest that I wanna choose lol.
One thing im also working on is a rat race exit strategy which is something that I work on to get away from the rat race which is live from paycheck to paycheck. So basically I need to get enough cashflow from, passive income to sustain ma lifestyle and then go do whateva I wanna do lo lol. But im an engineer wo, so I do need to work with some big firm to get some experience, or as ma prof said, make some mistakes on peoples time. Lol. And then again, big form proly means American or western firm, cause that's where the tech is lol. So will they hire me also? First time in ma life that I figured that damn, cause Americans are born Americans, they are more hirable than me, even tho I work harder and am proly smarter, not the smartest duh, I may not be hired over them cause I ain no American, literally.
So the other reason I came here is also for the creativity, fun and freedom, things that have come to define the modern world today. Yea china is up and coming, but America still makes the 21st century rules and it is the defining factor for standards. So in the process of learning from the best, I constantly have to make the choice; stay Asian or be more American? Have more fun or study more? Be more free and easy, or rigid and upright? Home people say u so American, come here they say u so Asian, paradox of life. Listen hip-hop and make afro or just wear caps and keep long hair?
Engineer? Entrepreneur? One is book-smart, the other is street-smart. One wanna be smarter than others, the other wanna hire smarter people than others. One builds stuff, the other builds business empirez. To work alone or build strong teams?
Business or politics? One to build ma own stuff, the other to inherit and influence a broken and faulty system.
Some choices have been made recently:
Stay
Study masters in ivy leagues school on scholarship money.
Build engineering business
Business. Politics can wait.
