The Capitalist & The Socialist

Subhash has recently expressed his view on capitalism &

IT is CRYSTAL CLEAR that he is kinda against it.

I know there are some people out there who do not know what the heck is

A) Capitalism
B) Socialism

Well, in simple terms:-

Capitalism is - when the system of economy is owned by people or individual

Socialism is kinda the opposite.

Malaysia adopts a capitalist position just like the USA & the other ELITE countries.

Socialism can still be seen in North Korea & maybe Venezuela.

The PROBLEM with CAPITALISM is that it hurts workers, because businesses make more money by selling things than they pay to the workers who make the things and, therefore, businessmen become rich while workers remain poor and/or exploited.

You no need to look far for the PROBLEM with SOCIALISM, just look at the 2 countries mentioned above. I think most of us are kinda glad to be a capitalist country.

The point is that no economic system is suitable. There is always drawbacks & flaws here and there. I think capitalism is doing quite well and that is why it is adopted by many. Come on, its human nature. Think like this, "To survive you gotta work your ass off" or "Survival of The Fittest".

If you watched the movie, Wall Street, there is this saying, "GREED IS GOOD".
Well, here is where the problem with capitalism starts. Its drives people into the sin of GREED.
As you all may know, when one enjoys another suffers.

Solution : The Capitalist & The Socialist should compromise & form a new economic system acceptable to both parties.

No use fighting with each other. It will lead nowhere. Subhash, why not try making a economic system you find fair. I am sure it might be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

KL people

Back in JB we always use to think KL people were :-

1) Will party animals
2) Relax & chilled out people
3) Don't give a damn about studies
4) Consume booze, dope, or anything you can think off.

Well, that perception was 100% wrong only for ACCA students I guess. The Financial Course students are one of the most hardworking bunch I have ever seen.

Their commitment & hardwork for success is astounding. I use to think becoming a World Prize Winner is somethin impossible until I saw these guys.

There's something about them which drives you to strive for execellance. I just do not know what is it. Is is their discipline, mentality or God knows what?

Lookin at this people achieving success makes you really think NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
Come on, IF THEY CAN DO IT WHY NOT YOU !!!!

Subhash once told me nobody's perfect. Well quite true but not always. We can be perfect in certain things.

Look around you:-

An arrow hitting a bulleye. That is perfection.
Drawing a circle with a compass. That is perfection.
Rocket lifting off into space. That is perfection.
Scoring 100 marks in a test. That is perfection.
Constructing a block with 90 degree angle. That is perfection.
Division of a cell. From 1 to 2. That is perfection.
WHY, look at yourself, even you are a result of perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing is impossible as long as you have BELIEVE & FAITH in it.

Hello Hello

Mmm...its been like 5 days since I have blogged. Well, I have reasons :-

1) Damn busy with h/w
2) Fell ill

Guess I was still gettin used to KL.

I got to admit that doin ACCA in Sunway KL is somethin' challenging.

My buddy Leon told me somethin back in 2009, "KL people & people from other states are damn smart".

Man, I guess he was darn right. Back in Sunway JB it was like a pond but here in Sunway KL it is like an ocean.

You will be pushed beyond your limit until breaking point. Come on, accountants & stress are like brothers. You can't cope with the stress you are out or dead.

Doing tutorial question during F6 class was like a BATTLEFIELD. You have to be fast, know the format & keep on moving. If you even slack for one moment or WORST, give up YOU ARE DEAD.

My F6 lecturer kinda reminds me of the The Terminator. As the Terminator said, "Never stop fighting".

I think doin ACCA in Sunway KL has opened up my eyes to see the reality of life i.e. life is a struggle to survive AKA survival of the fittest. If I was still back in JB, I would just be relaxed & chillin' out half the time not knowing the HELL that I will face in the end.

ACCA, Time & Sacrifice

It has only been like what? Like 3 weeks in Sunway KL but i am beginning to notice somethin'.

Time

It has only been like 3 weeks in KL & I am beginning to notice that time is goin extremely fast.
I am kinda not used to this. Cuz back in Sunway JB everything was kinda slow moving & calm.
But here it is the DIRECT OPPOSITE. Everythin' is on HYPERDRIVE. Progress Test 1 will be in 2 weeks time. Got to get ready. I guess this is how the REAL WORLD is, "If you aint' fast enough, you are OUT." After all,

-Time is not gold, it is PLATINUM here in Sunway KL
-Time & tide wait for no man.

ACCA

ACCA is NOT easy. That is what everybody says & I kinda agree. According to my F6 lecturer, you MUST have to pass all the papers in 1 seating & at the same time get GOOD marks. If you get 50-60, you might fail your Professional level papers.
Conclusion is, ACCA is something you need to put your commitment, hard work & sacrifice into.

Sacrifice

Sacrifice & ACCA are like water & sugar. They mix well. If you are not willing to sacrifice you are OUT. Doing ACCA means you kinda have to sacrifice your leisure time (yes, i have not played modern warfare 2), weekend (got extra class on saturday 9a.m. to 5 p.m.) & semester breaks (too short). I am prepared cuz nothin in this world comes easy. Come on, look at the effort we take to mine for petrol, diamonds, PLATINUM & gold. It is frikin HARD.

Well, thats all I kind say but doin ACCA does not mean the end of everything. It is the beginning of an "exciting", "adventure-filled" & "dangerous" journey. God bless America & all of us!!!!!!!

Language,Malaysians & Black n White

As a Malaysian, I feel that we & language are like Earth & Sky.

We are THAT FAR apart but not as worse as other countries.

We think our English is BAD but the same goes for our BM too as you can see below :-





see what I mean, either the language understanding is poor or it is the total disregard for "The Law".

But who cares? Even I dunno what to say!!!!

Besides that there is another thing which still bothers me & it is racism especially the BLACK & WHITE Issue!!!!!!

It has now got into the ghost world too!!!! Like this movie, Ju-On : WHITE ghost & BLACK ghost.

Come one ! WTF!! When is the BLACK & WHITE issue going to end?

Oh, you should check out this mail I received :-

When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray
And you calling me colored?

I hope that WE stop fightin over this matter & understand each other.


Lecturers & Lecture

I always believe that everyday in life we learn somethin new from our experience & OTHER PEOPLE.

When I tell OTHER PEOPLE I also mean lecturers.

Lecturers have a LOT of LIFE EXPERIENCE & know "our" mentality quite well.

My F4 lecturer is kinda interesting as she has is teachin Law.

What that I can derive is :-

(1) There is NO such thing as TRUE JUSTICE. Now, there is only RELATIVE JUSTICE.

This means that you can technically get away with a crime by exploiting loop holes in the law or by simply with MONEY ($) & POWER.

(2) Marriage made in heaven.............THAT IS TOTAL RUBBISH!

All marriages are made on Earth.

(3) Girls only use their heart when in love NOT their brains. So girls, when in love use your brains also. If you want to divorce your husband make sure he has a higher pay than you or you had it. (This was said by my lecturer NOT me. I never insult anybody cuz I ALWAYS adopt a neutral position)

Sunway KL......Height, Toilet ( Mirror = Advertistment) !?

After walking around Sunway KL for 2 weeks, I have noticed the following :-

HEIGHT
When I look down from the highest floor, I just get the creeps man. You suddenly start to imagine yourself falling down!!!!! Its kinda scary. But I have started using the stairs instead of the lift to get to the 3rd floor where the AWESOME library is located. Gettin' to the library is really a good work out. By the time I reach the 2nd Floor, I am already out of breath but I am buildin my stamina. YA MAN, all hail the STAIRS!!!!! In fact everyone should take the stairs for a HEALTHIER LIFE!!!!

Advertistment in Toilet


U know what readers? People will go to craziest extent to do advertisement. Well, I just admire and enjoy watching them do so. Wat do you guys think? I actually think it works!!!!
The movie advertisement I mean. As you can see, there is Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland & Prince of Persia!! Really lookin forward to the movies!!! Congrats to Sunway KL for effective & creative advertising. (Mirror + Advertisement)
