Remember i mentioned that i`ve an announcement to make....hmm....it`s TIME !!! *drumroll*

it`s brought to you guys freshly by the little-red-devil....ha ha....it`s the manchester united cute little devil....

Actually, i`ve been struggling with this situation for quite something and i`ve finally made a decision, i`m gonna QUIT my coffee shop part-time once and for all...no turning back, absoultely no regrets coz i`ve applied to study part-time while i`m still in NS.

been thinking bout my future and since i dun have much time on my side, i`ve decided to make the most out of the situation....requested from my camp to study part-time and it has been approved.
I`ve applied to study at UCD, University of Dublin, IRELAND....at APMI, this is the sch offering the Bachelor of Science (honours) in marketing that i`ll be taking from april 30th....there`ll be an orientation when i come back from taiwan....

i`m so excited..and this time, i`m gonna make sure i study hard...so all of u out there...plz dun ask me to go out too often...muz cut down on honging too...UNFORTUNATELY...haiz...
Everyone has their reserves when i told them i`m studying at a overseas uni, they asked me if it`s recognised or not and etc....apparently, it`s ranked 85th in the world as compared to NUS which is ranked at 92nd....

This is the last intake that they`ll accept any poly grad...the oct intake onwards, they`ll only accept poly business grad with the requirements....but since it`s so recognise and i got my approval from army, i faster signed up for the course.
and i`m not affected by the GST increase...heng sia !!
i`m a bit kiasu coz i`m afraid i can`t go in the oct intake with so so many requirements...prerequisites....ha ha...who ask me nv study hard enuff last time....

this is the famous Quinn Business sch in UCD that i`ll be getting my degree from...i might transfer to study full-time if i have enough $$ in oct...or anyone wanna sponsor me plz ??

took a loan of $16.8k so have to work hard to pay off my debt once i finish studying...it`s part-time...1.5yrs....it`s shorter than usual coz i won`t have term break...once i finish my exam, the next day will be the start of the new term...this is how they save time...

Finances will be tight from now on coz i`ll stop my coffee shop from April onwards and almost 1/2 of my income will be gone...nvm....i can always eat lesser sashimi and spend lesser...still can get by if i save....

I decided to stop working so i can concentrate fully on my studies and not work somedays, earn $6/h and suffer in future...not worth it...

anyway, I spoke to so many people from the private sector and i realised that those MNC (multi-national company) instead of the SME ( small & medium enterprise) thinks there`s no diff btw a local or overseas degree...unless i`m intending to work in the gov. sector...which i won`t !!!!

Why do gov. sector prefer local uni grad...i`ve a rational explaination to it, if the gov. dun support their own local uni, who will want to employ them ???
but have any of u realised why top A`level grad who gets scholarships and etc...all go to overseas uni instead of applying to a local uni ??


This is the food for thought.......hmm.....

wellz, watever the case is or how diff people have diff views...the ultimate aim is to excel in the society in future...this is the most impt....we shall all make lots of $$ together...!!

lastly, hope this news is not at all shocking to any of u out there....although i`ve mentioned this to js, kris, samantha and kelin...hmm...js is the only guy in the list i`ve mentioned to...ha ha...AMAZING....!!
wish me all the best......jia you !!!!!!
i hope i`ve made the correct decision....
