Chronic Hero Syndrome

I must admit that I’ve really got some kind of disease called Chronic Hero Syndrome. Apparently, the same thing happens to the famous figures in FEA such as Liksheng and Xinmin.

Just like most main characters in comics or movies, Chronic Hero Syndrome is an "affliction" of particularly idealistic protagonists which renders them unable to say "It's Somebody Else's Problem". Every wrong within earshot must be righted, and everyone in need must be helped, preferably by Our Hero him- or herself. Of course, Peter Parker in Spiderman is a good example.

Vincent Lim is a patient too. The only difference between us and him is he cares more about educating and transforming the local capital market so that investor can be more knowledgeable. (Wow, sounds great but this is what an economics student should dreams about)

The ex-president of Facebook quotes “The only reason we won was because of the gross incompetence of MySpace.” Yes, what has really been the main virus of our syndrome is the suckness of former president of PEKUMA. But the thing which keeps severing our syndrome is the Malaysians who always look local undergraduates through a tinted glass. Worst, even undergraduates themselves do that. FOR EXAMPLE, the act of Thierry Fool (not real name) which keeps licking the shoes of famous-abroad-university-student is really disgusted. (Oops, I said it but who cares!)

Sometimes, even knowing you will get stomachache, you won’t care what you shouldn’t eat when having steamboat. The good thing about this disease is it motivates us to do the RIGHT thing before graduating.

Just like Liksheng said “there are still a lot of geniuses in FEA where we should cooperate with them”. Agree, and I also believe that there are a lot of patients with Chronic Hero Syndrome in FEA who are being de-motivated by those ThierryFool-like species.

Last week, my auntie just gave me a great advice – Two workers. One is very smart and productive but ugly. Another one is beautiful but not very smart and not productive. Boss will choose the beautiful one. First impression is the king of all selection.

Extraordinary but I’m not surprise with that. Yeah, you can just compare these two candidates. If you are an owner of an organization, which one would you prefer? Regardless of age and EPF, I confirm you will choose the first one.


Angelabay. She is beautiful, tall and has an alluring body. Those with straight dick will die to have just a conversation with her.

She is ugly and seems like a nerdy workaholic.

You know what. Fxxk those people that judge others by their appearance. As an economics student, I think that four-letter word is good since it can indicate my passion and aggressiveness in stressing my point. It is effective.

Well, actually the second picture is one of the 2009 Nobel Laureates in economics science. Her name is Elinor Ostrom She has challenged the conventional wisdom that common property is poorly managed and should be either regulated by central authorities or privatized. Based on numerous studies of user-managed fish stocks, pastures, woods, lakes, and groundwater basins, Ostrom concludes that the outcomes are, more often than not, better than predicted by standard theories. She observes that resource users frequently develop sophisticated mechanisms for decision-making and rule enforcement to handle conflicts of interest, and she characterizes the rules that promote successful outcomes.

Sorry but I’m still holding to my old wisdom – don’t judge a book by its cover. My credit will be given to those “ugly” people who contributed so much in knowledge development.

Great friends in SC!

From left: King, new intern (I forgot his name), Zhern Yung, Wei Yong, Joey and Paul (not the Octopus of course). And Yee Ching, Yi ling, Yvonne, Nea and Lucy too! (the statergy and development intern council [SDIC] or 4th floor intern gang)

They are humble. They never show off with their financial knowledge or the prominence of their university. Compare to my fac, some even be so proud of himself as he got accepted by a lot of firms and keep telling others how "those firms so desperately want him to work for them".

(Hints: the guy with fancy English name and he just changed his name recently)

This is Azyan and I don't have a chance to take photo of Faiz, Nasir, Maria and Zainul. All of them are from project team under Encik Wan in Islamic capital market. They can be said as the pioneers of Malaysian Islamic Capital Market.

Random picture from Facebook (I hope she won't angry about this)

This is Xue Fern. She is so talkative and funny.
