Part Time or Full Time?

Last Wednesday was a very emotional day for me and a few friends. It was also quite a fulfilling day because I get to finally move my butt and get on with my wish - further studies.

Met up with an old friend, Wendy aka Ah Neo with dajie at Paya Lebar for lunch. It was raining heavily BUT it did not dampen our mood. :D
She did not change much and was still as chatty as ever. Really missed those old times where she'd always come over to our place to stay overnight whenever she and dajie are preparing for their exams.

After which, I went to Tiong Bahru to meet Yi Jie.. who was LATE!! I was glad that we went down to check out the schools for I learnt more than just visiting their websites. First was PSB followed by SIM. SIM is soooo far... =.="

My mind was in full gear, running and thinking about choices and decisions. Which school should I go to? How much is my budget? Should I quit or just try part time?

So here's my options:-

1. Quit job and go to PSB study Uni of Newcastle for double majors in marketing and human resource (i think)? That course is only available in Full Time. 3 years and it cost like SGD45k! Bloody hell! Lol.

2. Stay on with job and get the promotion so it'll decorate my resume and take the course with UniSim. It has a program for working executives and it's timetable is very flexible for it allows me to choose the modules based on my working schedules. It do not run by semesters but by credit units instead. To top it off, the modules are heavily subsidised by the government, so it cost me around SGD18k if I pass all subjects. :D

Still have time to consider till... August. What's good is I'll be in the same class as people around my age or older and I'll get to learn more! :)

From the looks of it... I may have made up my mind. ;)



Ohhhh!! side tracked too much. Met up with Jam Jam, AO, Lao Xiao, Malet Buddy and Luca for dinner at a Japanese restaurant in ION. It was really good seeing all of them again as I misses them sooo much especially AO! It was a farewell dinner for her and another 2 managers. Seeing the liquiors in the KTV room (yes, we then move on from ION to Liang Court) reminded me of the old times BUT this time I'd grew smarter, learnt the art of siam-ing all drinks. lol.
It was fun and made me craves for KTV sessions!

Yea, the timetable certainly looks flexible, especially for me. Just unsure how recognized the degree is. Tried doing some research online but I can't find any useful info. Oh well, I have till august to do more research. :)
Thanks for your advice though, will keep that in mind.
