SMU is such a university that reflects some reality of the Singapore society. I wonder what is the fundamentals of making such a university where students participate for the sake of getting the grades. “What’s the point?”

Isn’t this like how the drama serials where the employees all sucked up to the board of directors? Maybe some even use underhand methods to get their way up there.

When the level of participation are tied to the grades, and when students are desperate for the grades, they would just participate for the sake of participating. Isn’t the main aim for studying in university is to enrich and broaden the student’s mind? To make us a great thinker? Does tying the grades to the participation level brings us closer to that?

Some says that participation is what the employers are looking after/sought for. So employers are looking for people who can suck up or who can put up a show? I don’t think so. Maybe at the start this will help them to get the job, but sooner or later, it’ll be the performance?

But I’m very puzzled by the fact that why do employers have the impression that SMU students are better than the other Universities. Better marketing?

If you really want to survive in the real world, these are the few things that you can do for yourself.
1. If you know your grades can’t beat others, don’t beat. Know what you are good at. Decide whether if there’s a market for your strengths. Either develop on this strengths or find out what other strengths you like and can develop.
2. Develop your unique selling point.
3. Do what you are passionate about rather than thinking about the money.
4. Think of other more ways to earn more money so that when you are working, your employers don’t have any bargaining chips on you. (you can quit any time you want, you want to eventually work what you are passionate about so you can really excel in it)

Heard that MRT was delayed at Yishun Station at around 12 noon but could not find any latest information about what went wrong.

Police and civil defence was there.

Hmm.. Would be going there soon but not sure whether is it still accessible.

After trying one week with usfreeads, I’ve only gotten one result. That it is totally doesn’t worth the effort of doing it.

I’ve posted a total of more than 15 ads in a few days time and the visitors looking at my ads is only less than 20 each. Even my own plr products are not selling well there.

I’m testing out classified ads now.. Just wondering whether www.usfreeads.com is effective in generating traffic and leads. Will keep you updated with these news..

After upgrading my wordpress using a upgrade plugin, suddenly all my categories are gone. Luckily I’ve tested on this site rather than other sites. Now this blog does not have any category until I add them.

Still testing jetsubmitter services but I decided to test out Isnare services as well.

Heard quite good comments about Isnare and it’s pretty cheap too so I figured out why not test it out.. anyway it costs alot of time and money to do it myself or outsource it.

so here it is.. www.Isnare.com

Domain transfers can be such a headache. It took me nearly 1-2 hours to finally settling transferring of domains from one site to another.

If you ever need to transfer a domain, here’s some of the tips.

1) You will need to go to the site where you wish to transfer for instance godaddy.com. There’s a transfer domain payment page.
2) After paying for transferring, an email will be sent to you - this is an email that will give you the Transaction ID:
Security Code:
3) You will also need the authorization code from your current registrar. it’s known as EPP authorization code. You can only transfer domain after 2 months. And this code you can get it from your current registrar domain manager page.
4) Then you would need to paste the new code into the new registrar code.
5) Do note you need to unlock your registrar lock at your current registrar.

That’s basically the gist of it.

I’ve recently tried to outsource my article submitting job but it looks like I’ve found the perfect submitter.

Let’s see how much can I make with this..

I’m at it again.. making stupid mistakes again. Most people lose their money because they consume too much but I’m losing my money because I made stupid mistakes.

One of my products were selling off quite well. And it could have been better if I have been more careful with my backend. When I was setting up the system, I just used previous website html to reproduce the exact same payment site. But I’ve not update my aweber redirect - all my customers who signed up for my aweber would get to another download page with another product. How dumb can this be… and all this because I did not update my aweber script on the site.

To think of it positively, my customers could be very happy about it. oh well.. a lesson learned here. I guess I should blog more often so I could keep track of my daily activities in case I need to remember certain events. Like my bank account shows a credit item of $26 and I’ve no idea what it is. It doesn’t ring a bell at all. Even my self-recorded daily transaction doesn’t show it.

I wonder what can be done to avoid such silly mistakes..
