6 Weeks left Part 1/2

it is annoying to listen to people, who have a world of knowledge, sometimes.

months/weeks ago, this person talked to me a little, telling me things about being a programmer

in singapore and in USA. the way both country train students, like me, is like heaven and earth.

For people who knows. USA university teaches student things like 'Why are programming languages designed this way?' and 'How to write codes for Operating Systems (Eg. Windows 2000, XP,Vista etc)' while in singapore, we only learn how to write applications.

It is just similar to 'People in USA knows how to design and build a building from scratch' while

'People in Singapore only knows how to decorate or renovate rooms'. here's one example.

People in USA built a HDB for singaporeans. and Singaporeans renovate it, (Eg adding a drawer.).

People who brought and lives in the house uses the drawer we made. (We affect the users directly...)

But, the real thing is. People lives in the HDB People in USA built, and uses things people in

Singapore in people added on.

It's sad to say, we are riding on USA's glory but, it's not as if People in USA don't know how to

'renovate.'

So, what i am saying is...we use OS like Windows 2000,XP,vista. but we usually would think..

'I am using Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer, playing Football Manager'...as a programmer (To be), i refuse to be happy because i know how to program things that is used by users directly. i want to know how to create the base of everything, an OS (Windows 2000,XP.etc)... argh.......

No matter what, although the person wouldn't see this, but, Thanks for telling me anyway...
