Enrolled!

YM was affected by the happy charms i'm unconciously giving out when i completed the whole enrolment process, stepping out of the school beaming away. OF COZ! my long awaited studies are about to continue! right now, i'm waiting anxiously for the Letter of Offer from Curtin, which MIS would forward it to me and it'll take about 2 weeks. wow....

alright! there's more to come: stresses from work and school, financial matters, my parents' finale in court and definitely time management. i wouldn't say i'm all ready and set for those but just gotta take things as it comes... and i don't think i'm hasty in signing up my course, right?

anyway, despite my dad was being supportive of me continuing studies, he actually told me he would be borrowing from my 4th auntie, aka dad's youngest sister, to pay for my 1st sem's fees. i can't help feeling pathetic. and it nearly made me wanting to take a full loan instead. however, YM thought to just take the money 1st and repay her via instalments coz' i need not to pay any interest after all, which is not totally senseless. so ya, i still go ahead what i've planned. now i'm hoping that my 1st sem's fees would not be so heavy so as i would be able to go easy on my auntie... i mean, it's kinda embarassed for me to borrow from extended relatives.

also, due to some money matters as well, YM and i have decided to skip the whole Ozie trip. sorry girls, i really wanted to but just can't fork out that much dollars y'know. of coz, i'm as disappointed as you girls. after all, i've wanted to go over Ozie and NZ for a good long while. so, for a more affordable trip, i gotta choose the Asian countries. at the moment, it's either HK or Taiwan (again....). i went to both places already but for the sake of a nice getaway, i don't really mind either countries. but i still wanna go to Ozie... Or NZ...

went to Sentosa this morning and i'm abit tan now. it's such a nice weather this morning - cloudy and slightly breezy. =D if only everyday would possessed such nice weather...

i'm tired. good nitez all...

我要去读书了!

YES YES!! i AM going studies!!! woo hoo!!

do you know it still feels unbelieveable that i'm finally reliving my dream? my ultimate goal in life?? and it feels so exciting, so looking forward to it!

i mean, i've stop studying for a good long while and i couldn't think but except hope that i would complete my degree, given the situation at home and plus it's so not a good time asking my dad.

so i'll be enrolling by this Thursday, which happened to be the day that i've requested off. i need to bring my O'level cert (provided i still remember where i've chucked it), my Poly cert and transcripts. given on the exemptions, i might only require 18 months to complete my degree. good for me! and save more... haa! but then again, i still have to wait for my acceptance letter from Curtin...

i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!
i'll be studying!

i guess, no sane person would feel the way i feel about going to studies... wahahahaha!

a week breezed on by..

i requested Thursday off and i got it. in addition, they gave me a Monday off as well. =) but then again, the roster came abit too late that YM's not able to apply off. oh well, i guess it would prolly be ultimate nuahing at home.

for the Melb-Perth trip, we're still in the midst of dillemma to proceed or not. at this moment, this trip might be overbudget if we're to add in Perth. i mean, considering the lodging, air tix, taxes and expenses for both states, it might be quite overbearing. however, i didn't like to go over melbourne only for like 5 days as i thought it's quite short for a getaway. and also, it's abit pointless to extend more than a week just at Melb coz' it's a city after all.

i wanted to go Ozie was purely coz' i don't wish to go ANYWHERE which is going through summer at the moment. SG is already quite warm on most days, no point going over to another country and sweat our way through. after all, it supposed to be chill out and not sweat out.

but then again, if we're to wait till the end of the year, it would be summer @ Ozie. worse still, if we're to wait for the next Winter there, there won't be any "tour guide" for us then, as Bellie and Ra will be back in SG.

so now, we're finding an alternative. it's either go Melb alone (which is quite stupid as i've realised that there isn't too big difference if we're to opt for Perth & MElb) or skip the whole Ozie affair and go somewhere else.

also, there would be an alternative where we wait for a while longer, when we're not so tight then. that will prolly be during Aug or Sept. after all, we're quite rush when we wanted to go Ozie. but till then, i'm afraid that YM might not be able to apply for leave as he would be under probation if he signed on Air Force.

so many factors right??

anyways, roster below:

Mon - OFF
Tues - Full
Wed - Full
Thurs - OFF
Fri - Full
Sat - Afternoon @ BJ (bleah!)
Sun - Morning @ BJ

AND i finally talked to my dad about my studies!! at first he was telling me that he's not sure if he has the money to give me coz' of the divorce dispute over his assets. but at least he asked me the details like how much to pay for the 1st semester, the length of studies and also the total cost.

i was sincerely hoping he would help me for the 1st sem. then the remaining sems, i would take up a loan. 1stly, it's abit too last minute to apply a loan now especially when the closing date is so near; 2ndly, even with the slightest assistance from my Dad would ease the loan altogether; 3rdly, i only took up a small part of his savings and the remaining sum, he would still be able to handle my mum.

sometimes, i can't help feeling so trapped between being filial and a blood-sucking kid who always spend parent's hard-earned cash on the most basic and valid reason - studies.

i'm feeling contented for having a good night's rest. i came home about 11.30pm yesterday and slept at about 12.30am. i had an undisturbed sleep throughout, plus it was raining to make the sleep much more comfortable. ahhh....

anyway, i think i have to hold back studies for a while. maybe i'll join the intake at the end of the year. despite how much reluctance i have, but it would be for the better. i'm intending to get my dad to help me, since he said he has a sum of money for my 2nd bro and me to study Uni, but apparently, i feel that he needed that 30 odd thou for his divorce case he's fighting with my mum than my studies at the moment. after all, that's what my mum has been fighting about - my dad's mini fortune.

i hope i get to talk to him soon and see what would be his plans. and i don't have much time left for me to enrol. the closing date would be 15 Jun, and class commences on 15 Jul. if anybody has advices for me, don't bother to hold back aye?

i love you guyz...

just got home...

i'm getting sleepy, alright. getting not used to the shifts @ BJ. having to work Afternoon shift is as good as completing a Full shift in RP. the worse part is that time somehow seemed to pass REAL slow in the evening, after 7pm. maybe we're not too busy and had some time on hand to chit chat abit... but after 7pm for me in RP, it's as good as looking forward to closing time in about an hrs time.

roster is out! and it kind of sucks la... furthermore, there's Midnight Sales going on in Bugis this week, running in conjunction with the Great Singapore Sale. there'll be a STOREWIDE 20% OFF. shit lor... actually, not only Giordano is involved. the whole Parco is participating as it's organized by Capitaland.

Monday - Full
Tuesday - Full
Wednesday - RD
Thursday - 12 to Close
Friday - 12 to Close
Saturday - 1/2 Morning @ RP (it's as good as working full that day coz' RP operates on half day)
Sunday - Afternoon (Midnight Sales till 12am)

if only i requested for OFF on Saturday and Sunday.... well, never mind. i'll survive, i believe.

suddenly, i sincerely disliked GSS. perhaps if i'm not working, i would love the discounts and stuff but definitely not when i'm INVOLVED in it. haa... plus the freaking ridiculous targets to hit for the month. sigh... i'm getting exhausted.



and if YOU wanna meet me, since you know my Rest Day liao, let me know in advance k? i'll be waiting...
