Finally
The exams are over. Like finally. It was a torturing experience of having to study for 4 modules in such a short time. It was crazy! I spent 1 day studying for accounting and also 1 day for ebus. I just hope that it turns out fine.
We had a nice time for our 4th anniversary and here is what WM made for me =)
We also went to take some pictures together and this is the end result!
Anyway I will find the time to blog some other time when I am more free!

A little pick up
After my post about the person saying that a oversea’s degree is nothing compared to a local one, it was so co-incidental that Roger spoke about something similar the other day and I really appreciated what he told the class.
It was something along the lines of saying that is no matter where you come from or what university degree you have it doesnt matter its where you get to at the end and how much you earn that really matters. And we are just as good as the people from local unis.
It really helped and it kinda motivated me for the upcoming exams.

What has the world come to?
After taking a longer route at getting to where I am now, where I was quite proud of myself that I managed to achieve it. I was just told in the face (ok over the phone) that a oversea’s degree is not recognised in Singapore if its not from a local university. And that Im just not good enough to do anything just because i took a longer route in my growing up years.
I took a longer route yes, I was playful in Secondary School and did not do well for O Levels but after realizing paper in Singapore is so damn important, I decided to find alternative solutions to get myself a degree or be given a chance to enter a university.
I took up a course for a year doing a certificate in business admin, followed by 1.5 years of a diploma and then 2 years of a degree course (which I am now into the 8th month). I would probably be graduating around the same time or maybe just alittle later then some of my peers who went the JC route.
It wasnt easy because I had to manage working full time as well as studying part time and it wasnt a very easy thing to do. But I am proud of myself for gaining experience of about 3+ years of working full time in an office setting where I learnt so many things that I am quite sure not many of my peers know. I dont deny that education is important because it gives you the foundation of everything you are going to face before you. But isnt experience and other life learning lessons so much more important? Tell me, if you had a book worm who comes from the best university in singapore or from harvard or whatever overseas, who studied day and night just to get to where he or she is giving up so many other experiences and basically his/her whole life. Is that considered a good thing?
But isnt it where you get to at the end of the day that matters rather then how you get there?
Everyone makes mistakes in life, but its those who realize their mistakes and do something about it that succeeds at the end of the day.
If you are honestly so clever graduated from a LOCAL UNI (which cannot be compared to any OTHER overseas uni) then why are you just a poor tuition co-ordinator?
What happened to the world? When someone makes a small mistake (not doing well in sec sch and being playful) in life, will it be carried with them throughout their lives?
I still hope to fulfill my dream one day, of helping children who probably went through what i did when i was younger, and to help them not make the mistakes I did. Because who knows what would happen during their time? Maybe they’ll be gotten rid of if they dont have an o level cert, diploma,degree or maybe masters!
Oh what is the world coming to.
Despite listening to this person saying mean stuff, Im glad that I do have great and supportive people whom I know i can turn to or who has always been there along the way. I honestly wont know what it would be like without them and I am scared, that one day, I would lose these ppl along the way.

Sometimes…
…I wished that I had so much more.
…Capable of even more
…I wished I could do anything I want at anytime
…I wished i could control what I want to control
