Was looking through the websites of MDIS and SIM. Yes. I am planning to study before the end of the year. I need to have something on hand for me to do. My mind tend to go a wandering nowadays if I am alone at home. Well, I was bent on studying Mass Communications from SIM before I had done some serious research tonight. After the research that I had done, Mass Communications might not seems like the best choice for me. The modules are interesting but not so sure that i will do well in it. There are a few modules where students are required to make speeches and I am a damn lousy speaker. I stammer when I am with crowds. I am always lost with words when I am with strangers (Unless they are my prospects cause I had been drilled with so much roleplaying). How am I going to do well in the course if I am not going to score in that few modules? The fact that SIM is so bloody far away from my home make it a poor choice for me.
I am thinking of taking up the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Marketing from MDIS. It is from the University of Bradford, UK. Not sure where it is as the only thing I know about Bradford was that they were a real crap team back in the English Premier League in the 90s. The modules are interesting and I think I should do reasonably well in it. I was doing some of the projects for my ex gf back when we were in Singapore Poly and guess what she was taking then? Diploma in Marketing. Seems like what I had done and learnt in the past is going to come in handy soon. The fact that it is not that far away from home make it seems far more attractive than SIM. Nothing is concrete yet as I will need to find out more about the modules. MDIS website is not as good as SIM in terms of giving out courses information.
The cost of the course is something that is bothering me. I will need to pay a total sum of S$18,600 in total for four installments for the course. This works out to $4650 per installment. This is a huge sum of money. The thing that scare me is that I have literally no savings and my current pay cheque is not going to help me attain this goal of mine. I need MONEY!! The dateline is either on the end of July or end of Nov. Unless I find some means to get that first installment, the earliest date I can start schooling is in Dec 06. Even this is not a certainty.
I checked out some of the bank loans but it make no economic sense for me to pay over 20k for the course. I will need 5 years to pay off the loan. By then I will already be 31. Too old for my liking. I will really need to sit down and think carefully over this. Wish me luck. ;)
想念变成怀念
心动变成心碎
偏偏还会关切
你最后属于谁
我的天空今天有点灰
我的心是个落叶的季节
我不知道如何度过今夜
所有的灯早已经全都熄灭
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
