Hohoho... its been 6 months since I blogged! well done... Oh well I thought it'll be good to write non-FYP-ish stuff as a break and I just found a perfect to write about! Well, on facebook a few friends shared this link about a NTU EEE student talking about why women should choose a engineering husband compared to doctors, business and other university grads.. Raised a few eye brows already? Here comes my nerdy analytical thinking cap:
1. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Is there not a conflict of interest when you are also part of the group that you are writing to favour for? Hahaa EEE student writing about how engineers compare to the others? Oh well we're not publishing this in Nature are we?
2. SPOUSE PROFESSION: Honestly, does it matter? Sure some occupations tax relationships more than others.. like how you have to skip your 5th year anniversary with your girlfriend due to a time-course experiment 'date' with your smelly cell lines.. But you're loving your spouse as the individual he/she is and not the job! Go ahead and hate the job, but don't forget what your love is really for..
3. HOW ABOUT SCIENTISTS? Arha! Pointed out by my friend Fel, no mention was made of a scientist.. Perhaps he was not in a position to comment.. or maybe we are that bad off that its almost sad to write compare our profession with the others... Sadly I feel inclined to believe it is the latter..
Anyways I'm not criticizing or anything.. Just poking fun at the idiosyncracies of people (myself included) and admit it! these thoughts do linger in your mind.. its just a matter of how much~ But as good old me would say: "Don't be too hung up on the little trivial stuff and forget about all the other little things that makes life oh so fun!" - Deming
