TGIF!

Much as I complain about having to interact with people, I actually ought to also give some credit to the pretty decent and thought-provoking lectures we get :) Yesterday was econs crash course/revision for me, with overview of micro/macro econs in public sector condensed in single day... Was seriously info overload, but you know, I realised that I still like econs very much... though I am now incapable of really applying concepts learnt previously. Today was part social safety net overview part entrepreneurship stuff... and in fact I also liked the sessions very much (except some PS21 thingy at end of day). Though I was presented with more open-ended questions than answers, I was glad to be made aware of some very real social issues/problems... Eg. sometimes like if ppl are not able to self-help/work even if they are willing to, yet dun qualify for govt assistance, then HOW?? The highlight of the day was Q&A session with successful local entrepreneur Ivan Lee (owner of Thai Express, Xin wang cafe and a bunch of other brands) and his anecdote (i think it was intentionally crafted on the spot for our class) how the monthly profit at just one of his soya bean stalls (the more popular branch) was abt $20 to $25k or so, easily more than that of our higher ranking civil servants.... :P I mean, he was just so frank and open about a lot of stuff that it made the dialogue really interesting...
