What's happening? No more new entries?
Do you have a new year resolution? Have you thot of picking up a new sport? How do you plan to improve your lifestyle?
I was surfing few days ago, looking at what kind of courses, qualification I can do. By the end of that day, I selected BSc of Psychology and Dip. of Physiotherapy. After hearing my sis' opinion, I feel Physiotherapy will help me find my passion. As some might know, I'm really keen on Bio Science. *wink*
I contacted the incharge at NYP on the Dip of Physiotherapy. The min requirement is "A" and even thou I've a BSc, I am lack of Bio background. He informed me of an accelerated program at the Nursing dept which is suitable for "pple like me". It is very subsidised and I can receive allowance throughout the 2 yrs course. At the end of the course, I'll be 'employed' by a local hospital. (Bonded I believe).
Nursing was what I've been thinking but family members are against it. And i don't think I am up for the 12-hours shift either. Haha. However it has a lot of avenues that you can specialise in.
Physiotherapy really sound good to me. Even if I want to try NYP (for 3 yrs), I'll have wait until I finish my 2 yrs bond with EDB (i'll be 27-8). By the time I can practise physiotherapy, I'll be 30 - 31. If I choose this path, I'll want to go towards research and eventually PhD. OMG, then I can stop speculating if I'll ever get married. Hahhaa. This path will be putting my 7-8 yrs of Comp Sci to waste. All that money, time and sleepless nights put to waste.
Alternatively, I can go oversea again and pursue a Deg in Physiotherapy. And move on to Masters and PhD. But where to find sponsors? Where is my golden tortise??
So for the time being, I'm stucked with my contract. Maybe I'll take up a part time job to save up for further studies. Maybe I'll look at what part time Masters I can take, but that might be a waste of money if it's not put into use. Maybe I'll think about what business I can do and look for investors. *wink wink*
The paper chase is so tiring.

No more holiday in March
after a strings of public holidays, we are left with a dry month - march with no holidays. can't wait for apr to arrive. haha.
so bali was alright. lotsa aussies. you can just tell that they are aussies, no matter how they dress.
took a sq flight in the early sat morning, it was a new air craft. very roomy and nice. its the same one they launch for the non-stop to LA flight but smaller.
had a nap at the hotel room until 4 when we start our shopping spree in bali. the shops close at 10.. how nice.. ^u^
we went diving the next day.. strong current.. and i crashed into a coral without looking. we were sort of flying in the sea so fast that we dont see much of the marine life. the corals are indeed very nice.. looks unspoilt.. but with more divers going down, crashing into them, graping them for fear of being washed away, it will be quite polluted/damaged in no time.
we went back to wash up, had a nap and move out on our second shopping spree. knowing that its our last nite in bali, and probably last trip, i spent over SG$300 in beach/surf wear. Its cheaper and there's more designs of billabong, rip curl, quiksilver, rusty, roxy, stussy, mooks, etc.
some locals are very persistent to do biz w u. some are really nice and friendly. however most of the salegals i encounter w are unfriendly, lazy and they show u faces. but the guys are friendly and didn't mind making the many trips to the store room. overall, i find the locals in bali are nicer then in most places. (although they keep thinking we are japanese, indonesian.. only one got it right by speaking Mandarin to us.)
it's a short trip. not fantastic but a good break. i'm so broke that i'm sticking to my $2-lunch for as long as i can.
