Once again..I'm stuck in this same situation again.

Did you know, it took me about 3-4 months for me to decide what and where I wanted to study?
I guess my parents left the decision-making to me. Pros and cons.....

After my Os, well.....my parents did encourage me to go to Poly but I guess I was too upset with my O level Math result. I couldn't get into the course which I wanted and even though I had a high chance of entering ECCE in Ngee Ann, me,being dumb-witted at that point of time, decided to opt for Pre-U instead.

Republic Poly accepted me for Biomedical Science despite me failing my Math. I guess a high grade in Science and F&N did help me to make it to this course but the thought of studying with a couple of 7-8 pointers scared the shit out of me so I forgo this chance too!

The horrors of A Levels...goodness.....shucks, I hate my As too. (but I learnt a lot...so no complains :) )

After the As, mom wanted me to work while I wanted to study. That's where everything shuts by itself. I stopped receiving pocket money after my last paper which was Literature Paper 8.
I was seeking for a job the following day, it was my saddest day ever!

I was working as a sales assistant in a shoe boutique, an admin-purchasing executive in a steel firm, a telemarketeer and finally after all the job-hopping and saving like crazy, I decided to pursue my Diploma.

For the first time, I felt so alone...a lonesome teenage adult....I wasn't prepared for any of it.
I remembered calling up several schools,talking to them,travelling all over Sinapore just to find the right course and school. My parents simply gave me their prayers...great...just great! (okok..I should be grateful!)

I appealed to Mandaki myself and finally got a 80% grant from them and I paid the remaining 2k myself out of my own pocket money to pursue my dreams.

Now....I'm back to the same phase again!

I'm going for a Diploma in Educational studies highly accreditted by MOE and London College, UK university.
Mom wasn't really keen on me pursuing my studies further so I had to do it on my own again.Ok...once more,she just offered me her prayers....nice! (Do I detect a tinge of sarcasm..okok..I should be grateful once again!)

I can't really decide what I would like to major on.
Money is another issue. Oh well....I will not stop and give up now!

I'm hoping to take the first 2 major courses in May before ending off with the 3rd one somewhere after July or August. This means I have to have at least 1.5 k by end of July...freaking tornado. Then by the time I complete the 3rd and final course, I have to prepare another 800 bucks before graduation.

Then, I think Mom's going to scream once again for I'm going for another Diploma after educational studies.
She'll be thinking when I'm going to stop studying...er....not before I do my Bachelor studies in Early Childhood education.

If I can't do my Bachelors, then I guess, the 2 Diplomas in hand will make up for everything.
(tsk tsk)

For now...it's back to more savings!
