The 2 Mr Lais in my life

Used to complain about my TAR UC lecturers a lot. Their english, their pattern, their attitude. It's very difficult to find a lecturer who truly understand the meaning of an educator. Maybe some of them knew, but the pressure and administrative work had turned them into who they are right now.

Justification to TAR UC, I feel problematic lectures exist in all universities. My experience at Sunway wasn't that good too, thanks to Visha, the legend lecturer who always disappeared after her toilet break. Luckily I met Ms Cherilyn or else I highly likely will fail my Econs.

Fun fact: the best and worst lecturers in my life are A Levels Econs lecturers.

I was surprised that I still managed to meet some good lecturers before I graduate. Sorry la I literally lost hope in my university and the entire education system. The first Mr Lai is my SBR lecturer, who apparently the only Accounting lecturer that knows how to explain accounting standards in a layman term. Besides that, he really KNOWS how to capture a girl's heart. I wonder whether his wife knows HAHA. There's an unofficial fan club of his, and I believe all of them are girls! Besides good at joking and teaching, he cares about his students sincerely, which someone who skipped his lectures frequently (yes it's me) could even feel it. But yeah I don't know why he mixed up Yung Yie and Pinky (insider joke of 3RPA1 only).

Meeting the second Mr Lai is totally unexpected. Our management has some changes recently and two Associate Deans are appointed. I had a very hard time dealing with one of them, who is a woman (I hope this explains why, not trying to discriminate). The end results of my discussion with her was I might couldn't claim for my travel reimbursement (So done with their inefficiency) and forced to attend a prize giving ceremony. I really hate ceremony. Wasting my time. And I missed Induction Day! Urgh. Even Judy was like "wow so they made you come".

Luckily I met Mr Lai. At first I just want to tumpang his car so I don't need to grab to the prize giving ceremony (I giapsiap sorry). And I was shocked when this new Associate Dean drove a Mercedes. Woah. What impress me the most is our conversation. Finally I meet a lecturer who has commercial working experience, knows the reason he chose to join the education industry and has clear intention to improve the system. I think another factor that differentiates him from others is his education background, as he was an undergraduate from UK. He was from another department, that's why I never meet him before. I could imagine how unwilling other lecturers to take over the position of Associate Dean. This prompts me to initiate conversation with him, although my initial intention was to fight for my budget for travel reimbursement HAHA.

That's how we started our.... friendship? I don't know how to classify our relationship thou. He isn't my subject lecturer but he teaches me beyond that. Shared with me his working experience and some useful tips to survive in the workplace. Feel so touched when he remember I have a competition tomorrow and sent me a message.


And he reminded me some mistakes I made, which I truly appreciate! I feel he kinda revoke my love towards education, which I have chosen to give up as I lost faith in our education system. Yeah and I need more money to survive. Accounting is a good choice, I don't regret it, but just I'm currently in a dilemma that I don't know which field to begin my career (another story sorry guys I'm always off topic).

So this guy, Mr Lai, who I just knew in less than one month, has somehow reminded me what I could do for our Malaysia education system. The idea is very crazy, but if someone don't do it, nobody will. I'm not courageous to give up on what I have today, but I could do it when I'm financially stable. Who knows?

Again, it's appreciation time! Regardless of all the shits I've went through, thanks God (if there's one) who allows me to meet these kind people.

Will the judges tomorrow kind enough to let our team win?

Alright I am over thinking again. Time to get my ass move and stop procrastinating.

P.S.
If God really exist, could you please grant my wish to pass my ACCA papers? Ok sorry if you really exist please ignore me I shall study now I'm sorry to waste your time HAHA.
