Day 2 : Things I Learned Today!

Early in the morning, I woke up and starts to turn on my laptop to check my site statistics and MSN for chatting. I chat with my sister thru MSN for about 30mins. During the chat, I can't stop myself for telling her the truth of what I have been facing this few terrible weeks. Unpredictable response from her this time, she didn't even scold me a word for what she used to be - "You dunno how to save money, always overspent and try to ask from our parents" . I was touched that this few magic words did not come out from her this time! Instead, she asked me to save and try to control my spendings on the necessary stuff only. Great starts of the day, words of encouragement from my sister! After chatting, I get myself ready to go motor bike shop to check the "white smoke from exhaust" problem for my bike. The mechanic who look like a very straight-forward person told me that I need to spend about RM200 to repair my bike. I just believe what he said, his words convince me that he will not cheat me. That's the feeling I had towards him. I called my mum to told her that I need $$ to repair my bike, she promised to bank-in money for me. Hooray, everything solved. I called k.t to fetch me back because I have to leave my motorbike at the workshop for one day to repair. Both of us go Pulai to have lunch, we went back after that. I even tapao for Nicole because she haven't had her lunch yet! I learned that things might not be that worse as what you think? It will be solved if you are willing to be direct and tell the truth like what I did to my sister, my mum and Nicole. Hopefully, everything will be fine after my motorbike problem settled.

Education shoud be free for everyone!

Why are we paying for education ? Education should be free for everyone, instead of paying a lot but only the bookstores, professors, educationists and certain online bookstores who earn this uncountable incomes. It seems that the world are too realistic on money, they even sell their knowledges to the world to make themselves rich(which is one of THE LORD greatest gives to mankind). I'm glad that with Internet, certain education materials are made free for those who cannot afford. With the online tutorials that barely survive with just by advertising (Google Adsense) and some help from donations, it makes this world a better place for education to be fair and equal for everyone. Although the materials that we might downloads are illegal and breaking the laws on copyrights, I can't imagine how the education will educate the people if it were so expensive that only the affordable minority can further it to tertiary level. Just look at third world countries like Africans, how can they afford education if they can't fill their stomach with everyday meals? Can we grow without education? Take few minutes of your time, think and think!
