Year 1, Sem 2

Hello! Is the start of the new semester again! Currently Year 1, Sem 2! I feel a slightly senior feeling in me even though I'm still in Year 1. Well because I see a huge difference in me in this semester. I'm not as blur like the previous semester, I feel more capable and because I'm experienced in sorting out uni stuff. I saw quite a number of new students in Uni that reminds me a lot of myself. Really lonely and clueless of how to walk around in such a huge campus. I feel lucky now, at least I have some friends here but I'm sure of it that the new students here will eventually adapt, have fun and make tons of new friends. 

Week 1 is finally over for me. At the moment, I'm satisfied with my timetable, of course last semester was better. I'm taking these 4 courses which are very new to me. Quantitative Economics & Business Analysis, Business Law, Computer Information System and Valuation Principles. Honestly, the only one I'm really keen about is the Valuation Principles. Is like finally a thing that I really want to learn and study about. I'm gonna explain a little about all my courses. 

For Quantitative Economics, the lecturer has a really weird accent, always create jokes that are not funny and laugh at himself. Anyway, is all about statistics like probability, standard deviation and etc. Is like doing mathematics all over again. I feel ok about it but I'm not a fan of probability. Then Business Law is actually very interesting. I feel like I have to put on a detective mind set in order to solve the problems. My lecturer is very strict about the entire course, even the course structure itself is really fixed and lots of reading that needs to be done.

Computer Information System is just plain dry content. Content of the course is so boring and basically is like learning how to use Microsoft Excel. But then lecturer says that there is a high percentage of students getting a distinction. So is a must to get distinction! Last but not least, Valuation Principle is just good. I like the course structure because it really does make sure every student knows how does a valuer value a land or a property. No regret choosing Real Estate. 

Currently still trying to get a part time job. I didn't know is that difficult to find one. I thought is always very simple to get one. It can be a little demotivating when you didn't get what you want, I just want to try to be independent to get some income on my own. So I have decided if I don't get any part time job by the end of week 2, then I would focus on my studies, volunteer for people and participate in my club. Is the least I could do. I'm also trying to sell off my old text books, but seems like no one response as well. Things ain't going that smooth here, but I know if I keep on trying one day I will achieve what I want! 

No doubt this semester will be a challenging one, so I just need to do my best! Till the next post! Goodbye!

Dilemma

Have you ever experience a  dilemma? When you are totally not sure which road, direction or choice to be made. 

I remembered when I was having my major exams during exam period in June. My Uni friend manage to have a talk with me about dreams and what kind of career I want to pursue. My friend of mine did a psychology and personality test on me in order to determine what kind of person I am. One important question she asked me was: What does realistic dreams mean to you? I answered: Dreams that are real, actual and possible. She immediately rejected my answer she told me realistic dreams are the dreams that you make it possible. I was stunned like a scarecrow. The only thing that came across my mind was dance. I always thought that dance will not be my career, but when you know you love something so much. You will not stop doing it and stop not to think about it. Indeed it is dance that will always be in my mind. If you are refer as great dancer means you are born and talented in dance, but if you are refer as good dancer instead of great. It means you have the ability to dance well but not passionately. My friend told me live your life like you want it, not live your life to fulfill duties for others. Dance and Real Estate were both my dilemmas.  

I started to panic and went into deep thoughts mode trying to puzzle my life properly. And then I finally understand why I didn't choose dance instead of real estate. These are my reasons:

1) Shelter life of dance is short, but real estate I can do it for life. 

2) If I study real estate, I am able to help and contribute to the society more compare to dance. 

3) I need a secure job and an easier way to make a living in life.

4) I am not a person who knows what I really want to be since young and real estate is a brand new path for me to explore. 

5) I love to create new development and make a change in an area with incredibly nice design. 

6) I am a person who wants to help my dad to fulfill his dream and continue to develop more new areas. 

7) I want to be a professional Valuer once I graduated from University. 

8) There are so much more things I am very keen to learn and to know about real estate. 

9) I want to earn lots of money and travel around the world. With real estate, I believe I can achieve that. 

10) Most importantly I am a family person who would want to earn lots of money to take care of the entire family. 

    

I guess at this age. Most of us are still searching for ourselves. To know better and to understand ourselves better. But I am really glad right now, I can differentiated properly between dance and real estate. 

Conclusion: 

Dance- Hobby

Real Estate- Career

I am not going back on my words! I won't give up!
