After adding some pictures taken during weekend to facebook, somehow, no matter how many times I click ‘Edit Photoes’ or ‘Organise Photoes’, I did not manage to see the photoes which was newly imported. I was frustrated. I added a few more picture, I see the photoes from the first import but not the second now?! BUG!!

“They should be prepared to pay extra because they normally earn much more after graduating”

In my point of view, it is a very “English” policy.

[1] Getting into a top university does not mean completing the degree with a decent grade, and even getting a decent grade doesn’t mean the student can not choose to do PhD or postDoc, which income are not particular high. Having students in better university pay for a higher education fee is therefore unfair for the students who take the challenge to study in better university, as completing the same degree in less good university can secure a decent grade easlier. Students from top university has the talent to carry on PhD or postDoc, research in cutting-edge science and technology, and possibly even found big and international company in the future, just an extreme example, Google, and this is exactly what UK lack of; this scheme is indeed putting off student to work harder academically, or discouraging scientific and engineering students to pursue their research ambition and instead work in, say, finance.

[2] Even if a student from a top university earn relatively more, through the tax system, they also have to pay more for the uncapable people in the society. Therefore doesn’t increase the education fee double “penalise” the hard working and capable individual? No doubt, capable people should take care of the uncapable within the society, however, increasingly more and more this sort of policy seem to reduce the incentive of being a hard working individual and is encouraging people claiming benefit.

[3] In order to improve the balance of the society, the government should educate the youth, letting them know the fact that working harder and completing a degree in a better university would secure them a better future. I have to say I feel sick to see those unproductive individual claiming benefit as them are simply over-protected in this country.

Ha… Borrowed the 450D from Dad, this let me understand myself whether I have the interest in photography before investing too much money to a too good for me DSLR.

Passed my driving test, had a promotion and paid rise! Yeah!

Watched Wall-E at night, very good movie. Very good movie giving us warning about the way we live our life, producing unneccssary pollution and waste.

最心痛是, “唱”得太遲!!

Stayed home for Man 10m dive and man single table tennis final, wasn’t too worried about the table tennis, as it’s a Chinese vs Chinese final. Focused myself on the 10m diving, relieved a bit after the fifth dive, thought we must have already got the Gold medal and the 8 all Gold medals in diving. Sadly the final dive of 周吕鑫 made a mistake with a relative low difficulty, 3.4 and scored 74.8, and next diver Matthew Mitcham of Australia dived a 112.1 points. Even with 30points ahead, we got taken over by 4points!! um… Sad for him, 4 years of hard work, “我还年轻，这样的经历会帮助我更好的成长，以后还有很长的路要走”… Good luck!!

In a local pub, Broadface, in Abingdon. Brilliant food, the best pub food ever had!
