.:. Uni courses .:.

Its a headache to think of what course to choose. Since the start our our education, the way is paved nicely for us. We enter primary school, where we only had to study to prove our ability and to determine which stream we are suitable for. After that its the secondary education, where again we have to study to prove our worth, then perhaps the choice we get is to choose which subjects we want to study in upper secondary. With results of O-levels released, we have the added responsibility to make the decision to go to poly or JC. Now that the 2 years of tertiary education has ended for me, its time to finally pin-point the exact course I wish to take.

Yet after so many years in the education system, where almost everything is nicely planned out and even if we were to make a mistake, its possible to correct it (say there are chances for people in normal stream to go express stream and those who entered poly to still go to uni with a good GPA). Now we are on our own, posed infront of us is the way for our future, and its entirely in our hands what to choose. We decide the path to take, the hand to hold, the light to follow.

I finally understand how important it is for someone to have like an ambition. Being teenagers, we always laugh at our primary school days where we have to write compositions on our ambition. But now, its really important. Its our ambition that points to us the way, the course to take. With an ambition in mind, a future career that one is willing is take for life, not just a job, the uni courses are there for the picking. Here's now when we look beyond, and link it to the now to know what we want.

Being a guy who just follows the system, I honestly haven't been studying with a end career in mind till now. So I am banking on my schooling experience to guide me along. Needless to say, the TAP experience was great for me. Teaching is a job that is not as structured as office work, involves lots of interaction with people and has the element of fun in it. Pay wise its not fantastic, but able to lead a comfortable life with it. Personally I dun wan to have riches at the expense of my life, just enough to support me/family, a car maybe and a hobby to keep me sane with haha. So NIE B.Sc is definitely a choice for me. Only thing is what subject to take, biology, chem? more thinking...

Another option for me is possibly SMU business management. Thanks to my secondary school experience, I got to get in touch with event planning. Having done like 2 events in secondary school, and overseeing one in JC, planning of events to me is very interesting. U set the objectives to be met, brain-storm for ideas (which could be really tough at times) and then to the actual execution of it, its a very fulfilling feel. Reason why I chose the business management is because I tink it should be able to help me in such jobs, and the way to learn through is to undergo internships in event management companies. Possible job prospects should be event planner/organiser, or even to camp coordinator in outdoor activity companies etc etc.

So far this is what i've thought until, still have somemore to think thru. Choosing uni course ain't that easy sia...

Looking up to the sun
Flying high, up high on wings
The heat dissolves them
and he falls into the deep sea.

A single tear drops into the serene water, creating a wave
That wave is blown by the wind and reaches far away.

The moon gently massages my shoulders
reflecting a yellow path on the water surface.
