There are a lot of things I needed to do today, and setting 2 sets of exam questions is not one of those things. More so for government & politics paper. I'm leaving soon and this paper is still taunting me!

Is it really necessary for lecturers to set examination questions? Shouldn't it be left to the likes of tutor to set them? Maybe students should not sit for exams at all..but then again, some argue how do we actually assess the progress of our students. How about projects then? Hmmm.. very subjective...

Actually there's no use arguing. Simply said...I'm just so not inspired to have anything to do with examination questions right now. Maybe in the next three years, I'll feel much better about it.

Current status..basically blurry.

Literature review had been everywhere but still...the field is just too enormous. I can't simply put my fingers inside the literature & pick one. Well, maybe not yet...

Hari ini ada taklimat opsyen pencen. Semua pensyarah (dan staf2 lain) kena pilihlah nak kekal pada umur persaraan 56 @ nak sambung sampai 58.

Bagi aku, keputusannya adalah amat terang lagi bersuluh. Bak kata kwn2 yang lain kalau adalah opsyen 45 @ 50, pasti aku akan pilih yang terendah yang ada. Bukan malas nak kerja..kerja tetap kerja. Sampai mati pun aku akan tetap bekerja, cuma jumlah shj yang akan membezakannya. Kualiti kerja sepatutnya bertambah baik sesuai dgn pertambahan tempoh bekerja ( Sepatutnyalah...)

Aku pilih nak bersara pada umur 56, supaya aku bebas membuat perancangan masa depan aku dan keluarga tanpa terikat dgn pekerjaan rasmi. Lagipun, simpanan yg datang bersekali dgn pencen bulanan pasti memudahkan perancangan tersebut.

Pencen bagiku tak kiralah brp pun umurnya bukan bermakna pencen bekerja...tu takde pun dalam kamus istilah kehidupan ku.

Duh... that's basically what I'm doing right now. At the end of the day, I have to choose whether I should go on like this and forget about the PhD...or take a risk (a calculated one) and just go to Melbourne regardless of what other people says.

After all if you ended up with the PhD one day, what else can they say...
