MUET Essay

Since this blog has not been updated in a while and I am unfortunately too busy to think of original posts to post, I'll just post an esssay I wrote a while back for MUET, just so this blog does not remain dead. The essay is about university education.

In this day and age, the costs of a university education has increased significantly. This has led many to question whether or not it is still economically viable to procure a university education. Apart from that, many also question whether or not a university education is still relevant in todays rapidly changing world in view of the large numbers of jobless graduates out there. Thus there are many who would now rather forgo a university education and enter the job market right after leaving school. I however strongly believe that a university education remains important and relevant in today's world.

I believe that a university education is an important part of one's educational journey. There are several reasons why I believe so. Firstly, universities are temples of learning and scholarship. They provide students with a learning environment unlike any other. A university education can allow students to increase their knowledge in ways they never could elsewhere. For example, many universities are also centres of research and new discoveries are being made all the time. A student could gain much from interactions with working researchers and would learn much more than if they just studied textbooks at home.

Apart from increasing one's knowledge, a university education also helps students to significantly increase their intellectual ability. Through the process of seeking knowledge at university, students will be able to develop their critical thinking skills and reasoning abilities.They will also become independent learners. A university education will also help deepen students love of learning and knowledge. They will also realise that education is not merely a means to an end but has its own intrinsic value and beauty.

At university, students will also come into contact with people from various backgrounds. They will be able to make new friends and develop a social network that will be advantageous in future. Through interactions with foreign students at their respective universities, they will develop greater intercultural understanding. Students will develop a greater understanding of the common humanity of all men, as they are all united by their desire for knowledge. Thus a university education will greatly improve one's interpersonal skills.

Apart from that, a university education also helps students to become more independent and mature and learn various soft skills such as leadership and problem solving skills. They can do so through participation in various non-academic activities on campus.

In conclusion, a university education is still very important in today's world. I strongly believe that a university education will continue to remain relevant to society as it has always been throughout much of human history.

That's about it for this post. It's not a very good essay though please feel free to comment on it or to point out mistakes I made. Hope that it was a mildly interesting read for everyone.

AFS SH 09/10 Orientation Camp

I'm writing this post in the middle of the night on my German roommates laptop while volunteering at his orientation camp. I'm so happy that I was chosen to volunteer at this camp. It's been a lot more stressful than I thought. Nevertheless, I've still had a great time so far. It's really nice to be able to meet the AFS'ers that just arrived in Malaysia this week. There are 30 of them, 12 Germans, 2 Frenchmen, 1 Finn, 1 Swiss, 1 Belgian, 1 Costa Rican, 3 Argentines, 2 Aussies, and 7 Japs. I really hope that they will have a great time here in Malaysia and that their AFS year will turn out to be one of the best experiences of their lives. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything more to write because I'm so tired. Was up chatting with 1 of my German roommates. He's from Münster. I visited Münster when I was in Germany. It's quite a nice city. The cathedral is quite big and nice. Built in late romanesque style if I'm right. My roommate is going to Kemaman. Hope he likes it there. That's all for now though as I really need to catch up on my sleep. One last thing, I wish everyone out there a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year! Xin Nian Kuai Le Xin Xiang Shi Cheng!

Hey guys, why no one update this random blog? haiz...never mind la, i will just write some craps here to update our blog. So after nearly 2 months of holidays, the new school term is going to begin soon which is on the 5th of January. OMFG! so siao. PEOPLE we only have one more week of holidays. F@$#%&*?/"$ so get ready to study your ass off for the preparation of stpm. Forget about partying, clubbing, lepaking and all sorts of entertainment. The fun and joy you had during this holidays already become the past.

JG, PGAY, sexy ROY and JEREMY lets say bye bye to our wonderful, awesome, never-feel-boring home, THE BLITZONE. ( a place you go that can cure deep depression, loneliness, stressed life, all in one go..hehe ) *slap slap* BULLSHIT! no more nonsense. YOU CC YOU GG this is the new phrase by the noble poet, yings the great. LOL! in fact, one of my new year's resolutions is study super super hard during my upper six and stop going to cyber cafe wit Jeremy. Just like what my bro always reminds me, you better start working hard and put in enough effort in your study, the best is study until the last minute before you pass out in order to get superb results in stpm that will guarantee you a place in any prestigious universities.

If you still dilly-dally and enjoying yourself, better watch out! your uni life is screwed, your future is screwed, your whole life is screwed!!!! heard that is sscccrreeeewwweeeddd..seriously without a good qualification, you will only end up following the chinese traditional path, either become the entrepreneur or embark your own business or become the boss of some small unknown companies. PUI! so sad..I said to myself NO WAY MAN! I don't wanna own a hawker stall and sell chicken rice like those ahbeng in jinjang for my entire life. SIEN! i would rather go up to 18th floor and jump down from there to commit suicide. In short, next year is our crucial year. We have to really really study kow kow..Good luck and all the best people!

THE END OF THIS PIECE OF CRAPS...

P.S: I miss my second home =[
