Approximately 2 years ago, I fell out of my education journey while I was surging towards polytechnic back then after my O levels. I said I was surging towards it because I was so excited about poly life - You know when you finally get to wear home clothes to school, slack off and PONschool as and when you like?
Nevertheless, I made a crazy decision - which is to enlist first (to be a pathetic trooper) and then pursue private education after serving the nation. (As I had completely no interest in my poly course) After enlisting into the army, I realised that I enlisted with the JC kids of my batch. We will be ORD-ing this november and the JC dudes have to wait for around 9 months before they can start schooling in uni. Local Uni I mean...
To the best of my knowledge, none of my sec school mates that went polytechnic are eligible for local uni. Of course If I went poly, I'm probably one of the CMI-s that'll slack off during lessons or even PON lessons. And so, I'll probbaly end up in a private school then. Not that I'm conceited. I'm just contented.. I made the right decision to save my 3 years of youth in poly.(Some even went for private degree courses that aren't relevant to what they've studied in poly) I find it a total waste of time (Especially for males like us who have to serve National Service) I'll be starting school this coming January right after I ORD and will be ascending up to Bachelor/hons @ 2012 If everything runs smooth & provided planet earth is still healthy.
Skip that historical shit. I went SIM HQ Campus yesterday with mom. (Of course to register) I was wondering if I would bump onto CHIK in school and apparently, I DID! Somehow, I dashed up the escalator for no reason. I just felt like it, I don't know why. And because of that, I saw CHIK between 2 pillars from my point of vision. And somehow he turned for no reason as well. OMG! We were fated to meet? Cuz if I didn't hasten up my pace up the escalator, he would have entered the lecture room and we wouldn't have met each other.
Anyway I'm striving for Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Management (External), awarded by The University of Manchester - ranked 26th in the world in 2009. (NUS was ranked 30th in 2009) It won't be easy, just a motivation. Hah. Signing off with Lady Gaga's Alejandro.
PS/ I'm not trying to say University of Manchester (External) is better than National University of Singapore (Local) unless you're talking about employment in United Kingdom.
AN OPINION IS LIKE AN ASSHOLE,
