Regular Day in SMU...

After about a month plus at SMU.. ... ...i'm still slackin like ever..Lol..but yeah..startin my engines slowly..but more imptly..i still kinda like it here..though everythin is expensive..(Spend Money University)..Lol..n everythin is hectic..but i like the interactive part though..esp some of the activities in LTB..and also how open the culture here is..

I was pretty surprised to be honest..when i first got here..with the degree of openness..noteably when i attended a seminar on the International Trading Track..whereby we had CEOs from various companies tradin various commodities..

What really struck me was the way the professors posted qns towards the guest speakers..the veri CEOs that are headin the leadin companies in the global market place. stuffs like "veri few traders are ladies..r u bias on gender?..viewin ladies as the weaker sex?" and "in the past..u said traders shud not be fresh from university..and now u'r poachin SMU grads..is that a mistake in judgement on ur part in the past?".

I felt that was veri veri straight forward..and wats more strikin is that after bein asked probin qns..the speakers applauded it..sayin onli in an open environment like this..will ppl realli maximise their potentials. Cool huh..haha..i guess Spore is realli liberalisin..headin towards openness..and i'm 100% up for it!..haha..saya anti-tradition one..

And this talks are held every single week..on different topics...marketin..finance..retail..property..too many to name..and i muz take my hat off..as to how the school manages to get so many CEOs to come down on a weekly basis.

Networkin sessions normally follows in the reception whereby ppl exchange name cards..n u'd be surprised how many students are alreadi part-time biz owners..(worse come to worse..give SMU name cards..Lol)..and these r realli realli excellent chances to network with the RIGHT people (and not ppl in mlm..Lol)..ppl with knowledge..power and rite mindsets..

But i haven been able to go for many seminars and talks though..too tied down with proj..gym and band practice..Lol..but realli got to make the best of these chances..
