A life full of colours...

I would think you are familiar with the saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

I think that kinda applies to me.. haha.. Home-cooked food delights me. It makes me happy :)

Now I miss Martina, who has been my cooking partner last year.

I wouldnt say I'm much of a politics person but currently living in this country, I should know a bit of what's going on now.

So Britain has a hung parliament.
And Britain has a new prime minister, David Cameron and his deputy, Nick Clegg.


David (left) and Nick

Both the top man are pretty young (in their 40s) and I do hope that they do their part to make a change in this country. In my humble opinion, I really think that the great glorious era of UK being one of the world's best country has passed. I personally do think that they're in serious mess this time and the politicians really need to stand in to do something to save this country.

The first and major emphasis on the country's financial situation. So much debt and then tax rates would be increased to raise more revenue to pay off the country's debts. Speaking of debts, as some of you might know, students here are entitled to a student loan for them to enrol in a local university. (Yes, the government loans them money to study and they only pay back when they've started earning smthing like 15,000 pounds per annum) On average, it takes a student 10 years to repay their debts. There's been ongoing talks about increasing tuition fees. But to me, what difference does it make when the government would still be the one forking out those money for students to pay their tuition fees? Wouldnt it be better to introduce a policy that enables students from low income families to be entitled for the student loan instead of everyone? I'm not saying that the locals do not repay their loans but I would think much time and money can be saved by giving out loans to those who need it instead of offering it to everyone.

Another thing in the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition is to impose a quota on non-EU immigrants. I still want to try to look for a job here after I'm done so I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.

Looking through the new cabinet line-up, I was surprised to see a Muslim lady in the cabinet. There's 2 lady ministers in this cabinet. But to have a non-White there is just astonishing! I've done a mini research paper on the percentage of female board of directors so pardon me for being interested and surprised with such info.

Many promises made prior to election but we'll see whether David and Nick delivers them. I hope these young leaders have something new to offer for this country!

I'll be having my first paper tmr. And I'll be done in 2 weeks from now :)
