Twenty-something Life

Today is the launch of my very own blog. I think it is no secret that most visited blogs earn money. There are blogs reaching over 1 MILLION visits a day. Seriously, for the launch today, if I can get over 30 people, I will be extremely happy.

It is not easy to create a popular blog. Political blogs have been known to dethrone politicians; fashion blog - start trends and environmentalist counterpart - creates awareness in our world. With an information explosion on the internet, what makes a blog stand out? Advertisers and large dot.com company understood that the ability to captivate people’s imagination has open doors in the net. Flickr, Youtube and our very own blogspot just to name a few has been successful and thriving.

During the pre-launched conference today, someone cried out, ‘So boring, no pictures, too wordy’. I do not blame that person, the answer is in the entry “Why can’t I stop studying”. Bear with me, change is on the way. Your support will help to make this experience a so much more wonderful. The sooner I reach my target, the sooner I have photos. Your support contributes a lot to the quality of this blog. Remember, let your fingers do more exercise.

Free wireless internet services, 24 hours studying facilities and discounts around the city. That is what my new university offers. Finally, gone are the days of searching for a place for late nights or (more often) last minute studying. Just a simple tap of my uni-card and voilà!!! The close doors open. Amazing impressive for a uni that I thought very little of. Hopefully the education can be equalled to their perks. Their (or rather my) career centre is unbelievable, a wall full of job adverts waiting for potential applicants. What can I say? Forget about the hassle I went through going to their student centres every other day, I am beginning to be think that all these are worthwhile. Hopefully new opportunity awaits. I told a friend today, if everything goes according to plan, I will graduate after one and the half years, if not? I will only take one year. He gave me a curious look. I am thinking of converting my full-time masters course into part-time immediately after I find a job. With God smiling down on me, I believe everything will go just nicely. One semester full-time and two semesters part-time with a good job in my pocket.

Unbelievably, I was offered a job almost immediately after reaching home. $500 dollars a month with training on running a business. How can I refuse such a offer? Yes, with finding a wife and ability to support half a dozen children in mind, this might not be very attractive. However for a student, any offer is good a offer.. At least for now, things are looking positive. Forest Gump, “Mama said, life is like a box of chocolate, you will never know what it has installed for you”. Lets see, what does my box contain.

Why can't I stop studying?

Being excited about my new blog, I can imagine photos, lots of creative photos to add a personal touch to it. Starting a blog is easy, apparently you can select from a range of designs. For now the only thing personal about the layout is….. well, at least it is something I have chosen myself. That is a good start. Looked through some blogs to get an idea of how to be successfully in my blogging career, Photoshop is extremely important. It is visually less ecstatic without it. The first aim of my blog is to raise enough money from ads to buy myself an ORIGINAL Photoshop to do up my photos.

Just received my letter of completion from my university, The University of Sydney, the long awaited certificate and I finally got myself enrolled into my new Masters course. Yes, I just can’t stop studying. Not that I am particularly good at cramping, but it is something I have done for over 15 years, seems like I missed it more that I realised. One more year, who knows I might just go all the way, after I get my Permanent Residency (PR) and finish my Masters, PhD (also known as Permanent head Damage) might be my next educational goal. However, getting a PhD is just like coming out with iPhone, they might be both a stroke of genius but they do not guarantee to make money. I am no Britney and that means I can’t sell my hair a million dollars in ebay. I probably need some money to find myself a good wife and support half a dozen of children. That means I better get out of uni soon and start putting money into my bank account.

Well, good planning is the key to success, so first thing first, raise enough money to get myself my very own Adobe Photoshop.

Introduction - So what is Candid Expression?

Having just recently graduated from university, I thought I should start my blogging life/career. Well, blogging has really been fast becoming a popular hobby to most. For some, it will be a time of relieving some stress from life, for others it is more like forming a community that sort of make the world somewhat smaller. We are used to live in a multi-layered society. Blogging can probably create that impression that we can be as honest as we want. The truth is, we are probably hiding behind a webpage, creating that illusion that the world is more transparent, right behind your blog. Interestingly, I am trying to be as candid as I can be, difficult standard but I will try... Walk with me in this journey, and I will be your next best friend before you even meet me. Before I go, please support this blog, your encouragement is my support, throw me feedbacks it will be treated with high regard no matter how lousy it is. However, there is no guarantee there will be changes. Cheers
