i keep wondering about the world we live in everytime my browser opens up different news sites. while many people (especially those single, unmarried, childless couples) said many times: ‘why would i bring another human being in such an unjust world’.
so i made a point earlier today (after some reflection on whats going on campus) the stuffs i found really interesting:
Orientation
Who says that university’s orientation is about orientating new students to the campus life and all those bullsh^& interactions among students, creating the so-called ‘vibrant campus life’ stated misleadingly on those glossy papers and prospectus to new students.
Welcome to the legitimised gathering of students’ consumerism – a parasite living and breading on our campus right from the first day new students learn about their universities. i am appalled by the number of stands offering ‘free stuffs and show bags’. you know what, im not hypocritical. i was after all once a new student who was tempted by those marketing gimmicks.
But today, as i looked around, everything is just sooo different. Call it marketing, call it whatever you like… it is not only corporate organisations giving all these free stuffs, in fact, all the student services of the university position themselves as marketing unit to attract the biggest number of people at any given point of time to their stands. obviously, the message gets fitted somehow, somewhere along those shoutings of free stuffs.
im sure lots of students want those show bags. but guess where they end up?? in the garbage bin about 5 metres from the stands which distributes it. not a single stand, not even the enviromental groups’ stands, actually bother to go over to the garbage bin and sort out all those plastic disposals.
but obviously it doesnt matter. its not the case of what information you gave to students, what matters most is, which show bags has the most interesting colours and free stuffs that students will pick up. after all, those students will carry them around the campus and i bet the manager of the student service will smile a lot when s/he sees that students carrying bags from his/her department. little s/he wonders where most of them end up… yea… in the tram, train, and the station.. but i guess s/he will never see it… cos s/he will be driving to uni!! oh well….
Paris Hilton
Did you know that Paris Hilton is like second in line to the Presidency of the United States? I bet you dont….
Alright… i made it up.. but thats only after i reorganise my thoughts…. i seriously thought otherwise before…;.
You would have heard by now that Paris Hilton’s mobile phone was hacked, and her address books ended up online….(i wonder whether my number is in there… i bet Milsy is..)….
but i guess i would never find out? why? because Hilton got protection from the Secret Service… yes… the Secret Service….the one who protects the First Family of the US?? I’m not joking…….my source (unfortunately) is CNN, and the >article mentioned that as soon as the new site providing the address comes online, the Secret Service will be in action to take it down…..
No… all of you Democrats-faithful.. dont get too excited… Bush is not having an affair like Clinton did (even though im sure he would like some new blood 
)….can we just agree to disagree with my statement: ‘infidelity is not this president’s agenda (unlike the previous one)’….
I still dont understand though why Hilton would get the SS’s protection. it puzzled me.
Howard lies again?
So today the ‘unexpected’ announcement (and lie) came again. Howard announced an increase of 50% of Australian troops’ presence in Iraq. Everybody seems surprise… Helloooooo??? This is the guy who keeps getting away from lying to the electorates… Dont act as if you are surprised?? He is afterall has the strong-mandate from the Australian public to keep lying…..(majority of senate is his chip to get away with anything really)….. From the introduction of GST, tampa and children overboard affairs, the interest rate and economic credibility.. and now the australian troops…… oh oh my… i will continue to admire his lying skills…..i bet you, lying will soon be listed under Migration’s Occupation On Demand List of DIMIA (with no kidding, 100 points, and 200 points if you got job offer from Howard’s press secretary).
Hmmm…. anyway.. i feel much better already…. bitching is definitely my favourite part time (which soon could turn into a job)….
