Giorgie's Sugar Factory~
Hello everyone!!! Having a sweet tooth! Well, i'd love to introduce to you a cure if not something that will make you want more of the sweet stuff. CUPCAKES ?COOKIES? YOU NAME IT! Click here for more info
dozE-conomics
In utter disbelief, i proudly announce that tomorrow is officially the last day of uni before we head on to the mid semester holidays. It definitely will lift some weight off my back. Now, the reading on the scale has gone down and evidently puts some smiles on the faces. However, it doesn't mean we're free from the workload assigned, it just gives us time to cool down. A sense of breaking out as we all might want to put it, just for a split second. I've missed this. The state of having a lot to say, but i'd rather blurt them out here.
Regardless of my university courses being a core, minor or an option, it still requires us to work ourselves away. Let me lay it out to you in pieces the courses im currently involved and formally registered:
1)sp2217: Government & Politics
2)sp2216: Public Organizations. Practice and Theory
3)sp2220: Social Policy and Development
4)sp2222: Foundation of Policy studies
5)ms2109: Foundation of Information Systems
6)ek2223: Microeconomics
7)ek2224: Macroeconomics
In some ways, these courses do have a certain degree of inter-relation. How? They all require me to work my ass off(Forgive my language). Being a policy student, involves a lot of reading and requires me to be well read. I was advised to minor in Economics by someone. And come to think of it, i do hold a certain amount of interest in Economics, it's tools and mechanisms.
This interest in my view can be manifested into some form of link with my major subjects. That is of course on the basis of my knowledge. And so far, it is safe to say, my background in Economics was not as sufficient as i thought it would be. My calculations failed me in terms of the aggregate knowledge i have on Economics. But then again, i hope my competitive nature will make up for this sense of being incomplete as far as economics is concerned. It is hard to hold on to that little Optimism i have in me when I can't make sense of 60% of the graphs ive drawn. Hmm
Let me put it this way, in terms of knowledge in Economics, the DEMAND & SUPPLY are not in equilibrium. The amount of output does not correspond with the amount of labour as input. And in Microeconomics, I can't seem to find my indifference curve for my satisfaction. Every night has been economics for me.

Wouldn't miss it
With minimum realization, we have entered the last 10 days of Ramadhan. The typical bruneian household by now would be busy with preparations for the upcoming Aidilfitri. This does not exclude my beloved family, but the parents of course have neglected the notion of being 'too busy' with it. Making time for the family and to strive for the highest spiritual level in this time of year has always been the priority. After all, it does only come once a year.
Another typical Pasai geng Ramadhan ritual is, towards the end of the Holy Month, we tend to break the fast at restaurants rather than at home. This in a way, brings us much closer to each other. Of course the downside of this would be the missing of other family members who are abroad. The empty seats are irreplaceable as the delicacies can never replace the voices and laughter of the remaining who are missing.
Nevertheless, Ramadhan has been filed with serenity in the household. The introduction of the new family member Zara and her loud cries did not disrupt this, but it made it a more meaningful one.

The Rule
This is a post that I somehow will make an effort to relate with the political environment of my country Brunei Darussalam. The role that i've been ignoring for the past few months has now been initiated, finally.
POLITICS in BRUNEI??? They say the situation here is ZERO POLITICs
Under the rule of His Excellency, we the citizens have undeniably been living a very wealthy subsidized life. By subsidized, i'll highlight the fact that we are enjoying the luxury that others slave(work) for with minimum price. Some may beg to argue but this is the nature of this so called 'Kingdom of Unexpected Treasures'. The theme representing this country to the likes of the global tourism industry is indeed being backed by one fact. The fact that a lot of locals tend to ignore, the luxury the global population would love to enjoy, that is.. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TAX. Who is there to tax in this place? hmm? :)
Back to the subsidized lifestyle of Bruneians, I will now proceed to what I meant by minimum cost. Food? oil? bla bla bla.. You name it! Throughout the nation's lifespan, these 'basic' necessities are government subsidized, in other words the government often ignored as being the politicians of the country have been paying to meet the local needs. In this sense, like it or not we pay only a LITTLE amount for these things that we categorize as necessities. Point is trying to be publicized currently by posting the actual amount that the government is paying for oil subsidees at local gas stations. The posters are too huge for us to be ignorant. In the case of food, the rice we consume, little of it is locally grown. Only 3 percent of it is ours. THREE. How much does the pinch affect us when the price of these 'NEEDS' are booming globally. Who are we to complain when the nature of the global oil market is indeed on the brink of exploding? So we might say, this is an advantage to all of us for the fact that we produce our own oil and gas. TECHNOLOGY opposes the fact that oil and gas are still THE fuels for energy. Technology advances are in the middle of making oil 'redundant'.
Therefore, the local board is emphasizing the importance of education. And although this provides a sense of meritocracy in the development of human resource, we forget we are paid to go to school. Who decides this? Executives? Legislatures? or the Judiciary? they all come back to the 'political actors' of the country.
Still think Brunei is nil in Politics?

:)
This opportunity is taken to welcome the Holy Month of Ramadhan and once again to wish the worldwide Muslim community Happy Fasting in this month of blessings. Ramadhan is the ninth month in the Muslim calendar and has it's own significance that is recognized by all Muslims alike. Fasting in this month is one of the five pillars of Islam. And I hope collectively, we all will execute this obligation in a perfect manner for none other than to gain the Almighty's blessing.
Marhaban Ya Ramadan~
