Today I have dropped 2 subjects out of 3 subjects I took for my Counselling course. I spoke to the counsellor 2 days ago about me coping 3 subjects while working. She told me I won't have life unless I have nothing else to do! 3 subjects are meant for full time students even though I am doing it online.
Each day we are required to spent around 3.5 hours for all 3 subjects. I tried that first week. Come back at 7pm, cook and shower 9pm, then off to reading till 12am. Repeat everyday, but I was all stressed out towards weekend. I spent whole weekend in the morning reading, lunch time went out to supermarket to shop a bit, cook, shower then read again. Still!! I could not finish all my readings for Week 1. Then Week 2 started, aiyoyo! One wave hasn't finish, another wave coming up!
The reading was interesting, but to retain what I am reading is a total challenge. So I am doing one subject now, have a hang of it, before adding more subjects next term!

The pay will be cut with career as Counsellor
I have made the first step and has enrolled myself for Grad Dip for Counseling. However, many friends and colleagues were asking me to reconsider, because the job will be shitty and the pay will be very low. Most probably half of what I am getting now. One friend argued I should stay with my current job and has a steady lifestyle and upgrade myself every time.
Upgrade? I wasn't keen in upgrading my lifestyle anymore. Technology causes impatience and distractions. I think I rather upgrade my mind.
To find exactly how the pay I may get, the link below will tells a tale ..

My name is Khan @ Sydney
There have been so much talks on Sharukh Khan new movie 'My name is Khan'. When I was in India, the movie hasn't started, then when I was in KL, I didn't have time to watch. Finally, now I am back in Sydney and they are showing the movie here too. I was excited and went for it today.
Well, I like Karan Johar's movie. However, for this latest outings, I was dissapointed. The main them in the movie was post 9-11, and how the Americans view the Muslims. It was not because the theme was not interesting, but the plot was urrm lame :)
It usually a feel good movie, however, this one was urrm felt too good to be real.
Another thing that suprised me was the movie was running at 165 minutes, and in Sydney they have 10minutes intermission too!! Unbelievable.

Sorry Tiger!
Tiger Woods apologized on the national TV over his behavior and infidelity. Really the truth was nobody knows why he did it! This does not only apply to Tiger but many others too. Some of us will rather blame for being a human.
These days, having one night stand has becoming a new culture. One of the main reason was the availability and how readily PORN can be accessed through internet. Both men and women became addictive with excessive exposure and their brain became wired (feel good chemical released in their brain)!
Since we are child, not many children has been coached accordingly by their parents. Hence, human curiosity aroused and men turned to porn to seek for an answer. However, when one got addicted getting out is a big problem. Eventually, one's relationship or career may destroyed in the end.
One of the site I found really interesting interview with Wendy Maltz an expert of Porn Trap .. hear for yourself.

My submission for my course in Sydney
Today I had submitted my application for Graduate Diploma of Counselling. One of the requirement is to write an essay with at least 150 words stating what is my aspiration after graduating ... this was what I have submitted :
I am interested in taking up the Graduate Diploma of Counselling because I wish to phase out from my current job and become a contributor to the society. On top of that, human mind are complex, and I wish to understand more of human behaviour including my very own. With this, hopefully I could channel what I have learnt and contribute back to the society.
In view with the current culture and generation gaps, I have witnessed too many stressful relationships among friends, families and colleagues. Many times a lot of communication breakdown and early detections or counselling could help many people out there to cope with the challenges we are facing daily. I sincerely hope I could learn all these necessary skills at ACAP and able to apply to the society.

The shopping culture
It's third day of Chinese New Year, I went out to a shopping mall for a movie. I would imagine, businesses will closed for few days, and there will be less people to shop since usually people has finished shopping before CNY.
To my surprise, the mall was packed. Not only that, they shopped shopped shopped non stop. I still see people carrying bags with clothes. What is going on??
People seems to be so obsessed with buying things which are redundant or rather not needed! What did I do? I ended up buying some Selangor Pewter's collection - hey but I have my reason ok! It was for somebody's wedding in Sydney :P

Encik you kena tukar passport! (Sir please change your passport)
I came back from Manila last Friday. To get out from the immigration, for Malaysian we need to use the special lane where there is a computer scanner that reads your passport.
I was waiting at the lane where I found a bit slow, when I looked what's in front of me, I found several people have problems getting through. Some managed but most could not get through. Then the immigration officer took them aside for manual stamping process.
When it got to my turn, my passport did not get through. So I was escorted to by the officer for manual process. The immigration officer at the counter flipped my passport and told me it's time to get a new one because my passport seems a bit bend. Excuse me, all these while, there wasn't any issue, more over, the passport was still pretty new and has a lot more pages to go. Instead of admitting the system has issue, she told me to tukar passport!!! Excuse me do you know the last time I paid few hundreds for the passport, and now I need to do it again??
I am not sure if I should act angry or stupid. It's unbelievable, some of the people may do followed their instructions, and it's so wrong to say such thing without verifying!
God bless you know who!
