dw recently introduced me to read roubini's newsletters and i've been surfing around his website at http://www.roubini.com/i've been intrigued by the global economics insight the analysts are sharing.
it made me want to study more on economics! less the econometrics part if i can. hahaha. that's a distant dream for now. i think it is easier reading someone's insight than to formulate that insight myself.
wanted to read on socrates but found no downloadable files to read. i need something easy to understand; dummy's guide to philosophy-socrates.
i'm almost half way through story of pi. i am still amused how a tiger could actually be named richard parker.
there's a new hire in the holding company's finance department. i am guessing she should be replacing the treasury accountant who has recently left.
did i wish i could have taken his place? i didn't think too much about replacing him, but i am still hoping to be part of the holding company instead of being under the subsidiary.
am i happy where i am? i think i need to learn contentment and patience in order to curb the feeling of unhappiness arising occassionally.
just move along. don't think so much. finish the 2 years and i can chart on from there.

I've not seen any dummies book entitled 'Socrates For Dummies' but there's one 'Philosophy For Dummies'
Honestly, why you're still interested in the ancient philosopher Socrates (fifth century, B.C.) long long time ago....if you learn and follow his probing style of conversation often offending even more people...hahaha
haha..it's indeed a long long time ago! to know is more for general knowledge because i realise there is so little i know. i didn't know athens was the first democartic nation until i watched the documentary last week. =X
democracy brings about freedom of speech..rights..equality. and of course, there will be people like Socrates who will outrightly challenge the people..their religious systems..their governing systems.
it made me think about the balance of censorship/control over freedom and expressing thoughts. there is alot of relevance in today's context! =)
