Reality: No Spoonfeeding in this World
Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Personal
Yeah, that’s what I learned from the Microsoft Boot Camp. Nobody in the world will really get out their way to help you. It’s not their bad, it’s reality. Much like Stephen Tang said, everyone has their own set of problems to worry about. You probably think that what I’m saying here is that Microsoft Malaysia can’t be bothered about us Student Partners.. but NO, that’s not what I’m trying to say.
The Microsoft folks that presented during the boot camp, undoubtedly have a long list of things of their own to do.. would you possibly expect them to spend hours and hours to presenting and teaching us about Microsoft products/tools? They can only tell you, “hey! there’s this cool Micorosoft tool that can do this and this”. What I, as a Studnet Partner have to do, is to learn it up myself. There’s no spoonfeeding in this world. The people in charge of “educating” the public about Microsoft tools aren’t at Microsoft Malaysia, they’re under MSDN.
Nevertheless, LJ (Chiu L J or something, a lovely lady from Microsoft Taiwan) did brief us a little on “presentation tips”, which of course I find useful. Other than that, I already sorta know most of the other things that were presented: WPF, .NET 3.0 and Office 2007.
We were taken to lunch at a French-Vietnamese restaurant at KLCC. Damn.. I can never picture myself shelling out that kinda money for that kinda food. Though they wer eusing PDAs, their service is still like shit. Food was, nothing out of the ordinary… heck, I can find plenty of stalls with nicer “wantan mee”.. theirs just had an extra 4 beef balls (that was tasteless as well)..
ps: a small redesign is on the way!!

what u said here quite right,but i wonder how many of us has such thought,i found out that there is a wide gap of way of thinking between the ppl,at our age range.
While the few being productive n initiative in the reality,many are enjoying their virtual world,wat dota lar,wat entertainment ar..which really bring no substantial benefit to them.
