Applied for PISMP in MoE and this together, it will be better if I can take PISMP but there are still no news about whether I am offered to sit for the interview session in MoE. Whatever is it, today when Lyn took the letter from the letter box and said: Ah Shi! Your letter from TARC is here! My heart was trembling!
Making a decision whether to do science related diplomas or art related had been a hard time for me past few months... I lack of confidence in doing science related subjects after SPM... I love doing Biology questions and I have the urge to understand, to learn more about the wonderful creation of God, but in the same time, I can't find any diploma which do Biology independently, it must be paired up with either Chemistry or Physics... Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Biomedical, etc... So I was in a love hate relationship with Biology... WHY YOU CAN'T LIVE INDEPENDENTLY?!
So, after considering this, I was thinking, well maybe I am really not suitable of continuing my study in science? Why not search up some art related degree courses? Studying art related subjects will surely be easier than science... Hospitality comes in my mind because I enjoy the service provided by the hotel while I am travelling. Experienced those majestic building structure, 5 star dining places in Venetian, Macau inspires me of pursuing a career in the hotel industry~ Maybe study Hotel Management so I can become a GM in a hotel chain like Grand Hyatt? Sheraton? Hilton? Or maybe study Culinary Arts so I can become a Michelin awarded chef in hotel chain? But wait, you always start up your career in the lowest position once you graduated from university, so that means after paying a bunch of fees I become a bellboy? NO!!! And I can't clean up dusty rooms! I can't wash the toilet! What if I can't get along with my HR manager, then I forever a bellboy?? Because I really hate the feeling of 'bribing' your boss.. So, the choice of Hospitality goes down in the drain...
Then what am I going to do for my degree??!! Tourism also one of my choice, but as a guy, becoming a tour leader or guide or even working in a tour agency won't earn much.. I sit back and thought, since I was a little kid, watching Hong Kong dramas is my hobby until now. My favourite genre of drama is either related to the legal field like 律政新人王，法网伊人，法网狙击，真相, etc or medical field like 仁心解码，On Call 36 小时，妙手仁心, etc or even forensic, only one series of drama which is 法证先锋~ HAH! Why not study law ? I dreamed of being a lawyer, standing in court, faced by the judges, send those criminals to the prisons or save those victims from wrong accusations by using my knowledge! Check out the fees structure in Brickfields and ATC, is quite pricey but still affordable, I think... So I talked with my sister who is now studying LLB in Sheffield and Pei Wen, her best friend about it. Still remember they were so surprised that I want to take LLB, Pei Wen even said: I think hor, you get influenced too much by those drama leh, is not as simple as what you saw when comes to reality... They strongly discouraged me of taking law. But, I give up on this is not because of their discouragement, is because I know studying law will surely be a burden for my family...
So what should I do!! This cannot, that cannot! Alright then, I remembered that there was once a career talk in school, and the counsellor from MSU once said, the widest job scope in Malaysia is accounting, for sure because the demand for accountants is.... is..... well.... never ending., another one will be education related.... AH! This triggered me! Mom and Dad are both teachers, why not I just follow their pathway? I will have no worry for my future because a job is guaranteed by MoE and I will have no worry for my life after pension... But I aim for a higher position, instead of becoming a miserable teacher, stress out because of those reckless students, better be a lecturer, more carefree and I am teaching a bunch of matured adults not those.... haiz... Ding! This is my goal so far, be a university lecturer! Teaching which subjects huh... Thought of Chinese Language also because Chinese Language is my all-time-favourite since kindergarten till secondary high school~ 2nd choice will be English, because again, English is my all-time-favourite too, so when I was applying for PISMP, first choice is Chinese Studies, second choice is TESL..
I actually wanted an experience of studying overseas like what my brother and sister had done~ Both also in UK, and I travelled twice and both times left me a very good impression about UK. The community there, the fresh polluted free air, the chilly weather, the foggy day, everything there is so intriguing~ The only cheap way of studying overseas is... Other than PISMP, MoE once offered Penghantaran Pelajar Cemerlang (PPC) before, last year also got offered but I see no advertisement about it this year... So, bo liao lo... Another way is take STPM and scored flying colours, apply for scholarship, fly to UK and study~ MoE changed the STPM system to semester basis since 2012, which means is easier for me to study and STPM cert holder has the chance of getting into public universities also, of course, MoHE gives a higher opportunity to the Matrikulasi student, but still, at least has the chance to get in.... Once you are in the private institutes, don't you ever dare to think of going back to public universities... Another problem comes! I don't want to continue my STPM with science anymore, so I decided to change into art stream subjects. My ex Chinese teacher recommend me to study in Catholic High School for it because I want to take Chinese as my subject also.... Dad went to Catholic High School and asked, they say changing of stream might take a couple of months, quite troublesome... So choice of taking STPM also bo liao lo...
And I can't believe this happened... After twisting here and turning there, I choose science again! The reason I gave myself is, I might be less confident towards sciences but, I am actually interested with it... And I have a strong foundation for it also... Why not give it a try?! That is why I chose TARC Diploma in Science ( Chemistry and Biology ) ... Lame right... after this and that, giving so many excuses, still back to science... But, this time, I am really really serious about it... I really want to score in my diploma! Have to maintain my CGPA at 2.75 and above because I received 50 percent tuition waiver, offered by TARC... Now, I see my future as either a lecturer in university or a lab assistant .... Maybe pharmacist? Maybe a Nobel Prize awarded scientist???! HAHA!
22/4/2013 or later, I will know whether I get offered for sitting an interview for PISMP... 29/4 will be my TARC orientation day and glad to know that a lot of my friends are studying there also~ Wayne, Phui Yan, Mei Yan, Chaivat, Nesha~
Oh shit! Just checked and found that the first scheduled date for interview is 29/4 also... =.=! Hope if I get offered, my interview day is any other day than 29/4...
Until today, I still don't know how my life going to be in 2013...
