Honours & S’pore
One of my collegue us leaving my I.A company for ST Micro.. The pay was $3K there.. CoolZzz.. Her name was Ruchi, she studied in NTU Material Engine & obtain a 2nd Upper Class honours.. Graduated 2 years ago.. She told me that FYP & I.A is the most important grades for your honours.. If your FYP got grade A, you will Automatically go into 2nd upper class to 1st class honours category, even if you score constant B & C in all your current modules.. She gave me some example of her friends :
Example 1:
Her friend got an average A, with many distinction, for all his 4 year module, but obtain a B for his FYP.. End up he got 2nd lower class honours.. Incredible..
Example 2:
Another friend got many Distinction for his module, even FYP, but he flunk his Principle of Economic for the final sem.. Poor Chap have to repeat an Extra Sem & couldn’t even get an honours.. NTU got a rule that if you cannot complete your course within 4 years, its Bye Bye to your honours.
My collegue Ruchi got an A for FYP & B for I.A.. She say many people will get default B for I.A unless you got a kind supervisor.. However, she did Industry FYP with Charter Semicon.. At the end of the day, you have to present to your company supervisor, FYP supervisor & one outsider.. But if you are doing school FYP, you only have to present to all minus the company supervisor.. She told me there is no allowance for the FYP but the good thing is her company FYP only start during 1st Semester break.. Still got time to focus on School modules.. Alot to do with hard work & your willingness to learn (Sometime can touch the supervisor).. Your interacting & socialising skill also comes in.. you may be a Genius but when come to working, everyone hate you, most of the time after pobation period, its bye bye to your Job.. haha.. Unless your are a sole worker inside..
Yesterday, I watch the last 5 minutes of MM Lee Kuan Yew discussion about politic with the youth.. After the show, I change my complete mind view of him.. He is one steady man, I like his direct method, he never hesitate to say the his opposition if lousy if he feel that they are not up to standard.. He is someone that plan well ahead of time (Maybe 10 to 20 years ahead).. I like the answer where someone ask that why we have so much reserves.. His answer was that S’pore have no natural reserve, We only have money and manpower, if we distribute the reserve, it will run out anytime, the reserve are S’porean hard earn saving for 40 years.. If you think properly, its true, what if we have no reserve, could we maintain such a high exchange rate (Most of us Study Econs).. can we import food or commodities cheaply from other countries ? Its not expensive to have a meal in S’pore compare to countries like Japan & Western countries.. Reserve is very important for S’pore.. Temesek is a company where bought over many companies outside of S’pore.. Its Good !!! We have no more resources or space to expand, looking at long run, It will bring in money for our reserves although its making minimal loss now.. We cannot lose out to China, they are expanding superbly fast.. & you know Chinese are business orientated, they are cunning when come to money matters.. If we don’t act before them, its Bye Bye S’pore.. To be frank, I always complain about S’pore, cost of living high, Tax, COE etc.. But I really Love S’pore Life.. Its easier to pass time here.. Alot of people complain when they migrate to Aust, New Zealand & Canada.. They say everyday they do is mow the grass.. Super boring & time pass damn slow.. Somemore they are consider 2nd class citizens & difficult to find jobs there.. Most of them returned to S’pore after afew years.. Who can Tahan everyday mowing grass in your backyard.. So think twice before you want to migrate unless you are a super boring person.. Maybe 1st few month you will love it, cos people like new experience. After that is SianZzz all the way hehe..
