February 2016

Nothing like fresh snow day after day to invigorate you. Hokkaido has the best snow on earth. Sis and I went on mission to go on every snow tubing ride as much as we can through out Hokkaido. Of course, I came back home to a defective landline, several unpaid utility bills, and dad has not contacted his utility to claim concession rate.

I am already weary and it is the first month of the year. It amazes me, how people are still ignorant of cultural values (eg. Aborigines storytelling), how people still believe their smartphone would automatically backup itself (not), how people think houses can repair itself (dream on), and that reading can develop knowledge that is best derived from kinesthetic learning. Why cannot people see realistically they are being delusional and recklessly passing on such poor values onto the next generation.

Juggling full time work with small projects, distance education with weekly readings and exercises, house repairs with people refusing to repair the house, and my father's retirement plan. I could do with a butler.

Time passes us by faster than ever. However, implementing talked about strategies are still dragging its heels. Frustrating? Yes! I find people approach innovation with lip service. You got to start off small. Think about the foundation of your idea. You got to lay the bricks on the ground, before purchasing an automatic glass door. Wasting funds too fast is a dangerous game. To save money and resources is to use your professional network or the tradies' network. It has been inspiring to hear researchers and CEOs are contemplating these in various forms. However, this doesn't mean we can be complacent and hope that improvement will come forth. We got to be the ones pushing for it.

Areas that could do with improvement are:

  • Up-skilling staff on mobile devices capabilities, content creating, privacy, and security practice;
  • Start collecting analytic beyond the standard report requirement; 
  • Incorporate automatic reporting sensors to assist with statistics in reading rooms;
  • Create a research, design, and collaboration space for staff;
  • Establish a platform for staff to promote their internal services to other staff;
  • Create competitive online services in the knowledge industry;

Sad that GLAMR institutions are resorting to building commercial kitchens, cafes, and exhibition rooms, and calling them innovation, new experiences, and declaring the surveyed general public wanted this in the first place. When so many survey have stated more and more people are dependent on the Internet for nearly every aspect of their life, ranging from information searching, education, leisure, shopping, pay bills, and the biggest one of all - Connecting With Other People. People will continue to stare at their mobiles at those cafes, exhibitions, and catered events regardless of what's on offer.

It sure, makes you wonder what services do GLAMR offer online that taps into this ever growing consumer behaviour? Why isn't all GLAMR staff jobs involved in that industry? We should have something online that gets people engaged with GLAMR.

The general public who are graduates have two driving motives: where are my peers/friends at and what can improve my ability to nab a better job or get a job at very least. That's what I hear from millennials and generation X at meet ups.

Do we want to continue providing social experiences for inner city dwellers or do something radical in 2016?

Latest pet peeve: Where do people get the right to milk my savings??? I maybe generous at special occasions, but utility bills is where I stop. Why should I cover 80% of someone's else share of utility bill? Just so that you could "live it up" and I endure hardship. Besides hoarding does not provide solace. Rather it breeds moths, spider babies, and fluffy mold.
