I don't know why I decided to become an Engineer. Well technically, I'm not an Engineer yet, I'm still in university. And I don't remember choosing to become one either...I'm guessing it had something to do with the fact that I'm South Asian and we're told only one thing-study hard, become either a Doctor or an Engineer. Oh, and if you don't succeed in becoming either, you can always fall back on CA(Chartered Accountancy),which, I would like to say, is as easy as holding back when you're bursting your bladder with yoohoo. Though I didn't really like either option, I took Engineering cuz...well, I thought it was cooler. Plus I heard you get free beer when you're an engineer. Also (no offense to doctors here, I understand you do awesome stuff) I didn't fancy the idea of putting together ruptured spleens for a living. But had I known the kind of cash doctors roll in at that time, believe me, I would've seriously considered having an MD rather than a PEng after my name. Wow...if I keep taking career decisions this way...ah, what the hell...it's better than flipping a coin.

Spillovers and Mergers...
Decided to merge my blogs, copying the only post in the other to my more regular one. Of course, more regular being one post every year. The blog was begging to be removed, me having suffered verbal amnesia.
