crossroads crossroads . (kraws-rohd) noun - a point at which a vital decision must be made. other than being the title of britney's debut movie (which unfortunately was panned by critics), the word above pretty much sums up where i'm at right now. ns is still moving along (a bit) slowly but surely, but i'm not comfortable with what i'm doing with my life. granted, holding a 8 - 5 stay out vocation sure does have its perks, but travelling to and fro my workplace can be a chore at times, especially when i have to get up early to go for runs.. :( also, i feel that i'm kinda whiling and wasting time away when i could have been doing something more productive. am contemplating the idea of a part-time degree (bachelor in commerce - hospitality and tourism mgmt and marketing mgmt) while completing my ns. this is a 16-months course and with my htm background, am hoping to shorten the duration down to about 12. which is an extremely good idea when you come to think of it - being able to complete a degree while doing ns and can directly dive headlong into the working world upon ord-ing. even if i do not get into sq (choy choy choy!), i'm sure this degree would prove handy in furthering my career. saves hella lot of time no? well, i think so too, but there are some other factors to consider like the credibility of the degree (awarded by western aus' murdoch uni so i'm guessing its quite reputable), travelling time (stagmont @ cck -> cuppage @ somerset -> home @ yishun = long hours) and of cuz, my personal state of mind. despite having nothing to do most days, i arrive home shagged and tired to my bones (for whatever reason, i seriously have no idea). adding the demands of a degree on top of that just might be the straw that breaks this camel's already not-so-strong back. will going for an introductory talk come next monday. hiang's kindly volunteered to go with me (i kinda oh ya, in other news, i've been ACCEPTED by ntu's business! dun think i'm gonna take up the offer though as it'd mean spending 3 more years of my life studying (after ns). i'll only be graduating when i'm like 26,27? no way man. that's too much time when i can do the same at 22. might just head down under to complete my honours. :) first april post. happy 2nd quarter 2008! cheerios!
