recap

For the last 3 weeks, I had been dealing with much emotional upheaval; which suddenly struck me that this may be the cause of the sudden bout of gastritis that I am having now... but being me, I'm striving to be as positive as I can be... even though its tough work... I know I will be able to survive with the love and concern from all the friends around me.

I am kinda excited too, at the thought of returning to school as a part-time student pursuing my degree. After many years of procrastination, and even abandonment of the thought of ever having this certification, I have just submitted my application at SIM for the Degree of Bachelor in Business Management, majoring in (you wouldn't believe this) but yes, Human Resources.
Haha.

To me, the path of pursuing higher education is really to enrich myself and gain greater knowledge (of course, all the better if it could help me get a higher salary, lol)... and therefore, I have left the choice of the major to my cousin to decide. Having my cuz with me to pursue the degree will be a great motivational factor, as she will ensure that I don't slack (well, at least not
all the time) and that hopefully, we'll both be able to graduate in glory come 2008.

Of cos, the fact that Sam would be leaving for Australia next Feb to pursue his dream education has also greatly contributed to the above. Rather than having to "wait in vain", I might as well make full use of the time available and do something fruitful for myself. We will both then be busy, and hopefully, I won't have the energy or time to worry / think unduly.

And this leads me to think of my job. I'm already thinking that if my application is being approved, I would have to stay on in the MIS department to allow myself the flexibility and time to study. But ain't sure if my boss will agree to this, for this is not what I have told him in the first place. Granted that there are absolutely no benefits for them to let me stay on in the department for 1.5yrs, and having me transferred out to another dept eventually, I reckoned I will just put forth the proposition, and leave the final decision to him and the management.

Do understand that it's selfish of me to only stay on because I have to manage my studies, but I know I will have to sacrifice more if I were to go back to Projects during this period of time
cos I've been through it once and didn't survive even the 1st semester at school. :P

Life's generally the same... apart from the new interest in going JB for shopping (hee, one do save quite a bit)... and o my Japanese lessons are coming to an end soon. *sad* And it will be the JLPT thereafter... no surprise that I'm not at all prepared for it. Hahaha. Nevertheless, will still give it my best shot, and pray that miracles do happen. The only regret is that I won't be able to continue the higher level lessons immediately as I had planned, so will pursue this interest of mine, after I have obtained my "si fang mao". :) 请为我一起加油吧！
