crossroad

In case if you are wondering, i am still pretty much alive n kicking; except for the fact that the new sem has already begun. oh well.

i will be flying off to Melborne in mid-feb'09 (time flies huh?)

i am already in the process of submitting my application form and doing all those miscellaneous admin stuff.

i gotta say that i am one lucky bitch to have this opprtunity because it really cost a bomb to be there. Honestly, i am really surprised by how much it amounts to after consulting the admin staff today. It kinda exceeded my expectations by a lil. The course fees is double the one that is currently paid (which is ex. enough) and the cost of living is nothing less than HIGH.

To be exact, compared to local unis.. i think ONE sem in Monash Uni exceeds that of taking an entire 3-4 yr course in nus or ntu. bleah.

it will be a v.costly experience but i am sure i'm gonna make it really worthwhile :)

Anyway, i have heard from frens who are already on-campus about how happening it is over there n i look forward to expanding my social networks n participating in the orientation! geez.

On a side note, i'm actually really tempted to take Honours. reallyyyyyy tempted. However it will still depend on how well i will do in my 3rd yr n thou shall keep my fingers crossed.

Taking Honours means --> more moolah needed/graduate a yr later, in 2010/ spending another yr on-campus in Monash/perhaps doing some research stuff.

Am i really up to it? Does it secure me a better future?
Well, maybe it does... but if this really happens, i might just as well work in Melborne as i complete the 4th yr.

Although some others say that it's alrite to skip Honours and do Masters later on..i act do not have the intention to do Masters in coms at least for now.

hmmnn. give me a sign.
