I have just gotten my Degree in Business from APMI Kaplan, from "La Trobe University".
Horray!

What University is that? You may ask.

La Trobe University is an Australian University and is rank the top 100 University in the Asia Pacific region, and is rank 403-510 in the World. You can see this information in Shanghai Jiao Tong University website, which I know is not impressive at all. But this Academic ranking is actually quite famous and trustworthy.

Sadly, although La Trobe University is rank so well. Not a lot of people in Singapore know about it, instead people know about RMIT and Queensland University of Technology, which are not even in the top 500.

Well... the power of Media.

My boss mention that some of the important email our provider send us had gone to the spam folder, therefore we did not see the email. He ask if we encounter the same problem and if we have any solution.

One of my colleague said he has never miss any email by the providers, and his solution is to look at every email in the spam folder. :/

Some old jokes - "Engineers 101"

Comprehending Engineers - Lesson One


Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"

The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."

The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes wouldn't have fit anyway."


Lesson: Don't bother to drop even the most obvious hint, they can't catch anyway.

(This is a reality! If you don't believe, test them!)


****************************************************************

Comprehending Engineers - Lesson Two


To the optimist, the glass is half full.

To the pessimist, the glass half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.


Lesson: There is no philosophy to talk about but calculations and calculations...


******************************************************************


Comprehending Engineers -Lesson Three


A pastor, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.


The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!" The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude".


The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him." "Hi John. Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"

The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters.

They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."

The group was silent for a moment.

Then the pastor said, "That's so sad I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."

The engineer, after much thought said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"


Lesson: No emotions please, only practicality works here.


**********************************************************************


Comprehending Engineers - Lesson Four


What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers?

Mechanical Engineers build weapons; Civil Engineers build targets.


Lesson: They build and build and build and build ... to complement one another.


******************************************************************


Comprehending Engineers - Lesson Five


Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body.


One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."


Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections."


The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"


Lesson: All of them have their own theories. None for believing!


*******************************************************


Comprehending Engineers - Lesson Six


"Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet."


Lesson: They are complicated and twisted.



***********************************************************************


Comprehending Engineers - Lesson Seven


An architect, an artist, and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with a wife or a mistress.


The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship.

The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there.

The engineer said, "I like both." "Both?" "Yeah," replied the engineer.

"If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."


Lesson: Gals, NEVER fall for an engineer!!!



***********************************************************************


Comprehending Engineers - Lesson Eight


An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.


The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."


The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.


The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want."


Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.


Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want.

Why won't you kiss me?"


The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a TALKING frog, now that's cool!"

Lesson: Once again, gals, NEVER fall for an engineer!!!!!

"How can you be sure he/she is the one?"

Someone ask me this question, about how I know my wife is the one who is the best for me, the one God had intended, the one I can share my hope, dreams and aspiration with, for the rest of my life.

After thinking for a while, I realize I don't know. I don't know for certain that she is the one. I guess whoever is getting married cannot be 100% sure that he/she is the one. Nobody will be totally sure that after they got married, there won't be someone else who appear who might be better or rather more suitable.

I believe there is not such person as "the one", I believe God does not just give one, but quite a few. A marriage is not the end, but a beginning. There are work involve, you have to make it work. If anyone have the mindset that the reason for my lousy marriage now is because I have married the wrong person, then most certainly it will always end in divorce.

When you marry that person, he/she automatically becomes "the one". It is a process you walk through of affirming he/she is "the one", you have to constantly maintain the love, it is a choice to love, and it does take a bit of effort; but it does get easier.

If you think too much about whether he/she is the one, you will never get married.
