blogs been dead for awhile now. time to give it cpr? though i doubt that it can resusitate it. haha.
anyways, i think that theres either something wrong with my phone or the network. when i send a message out, it either fails to send or that the other party doesnt recieve it. sigh. when i thought that it was due to either tekong or gedong. guess thats not the case now eh.
i'm dying of boredom at home now that almost everyone is back in school and i am left to rot and squel around in pain. for some God forsaken reason my knee is acting up. its almost as painful as the post op period and also swollen again. But thank God that i can walk without crutches. its hell walking with them. thats only at home. A whole lot worse when i have to go down and buy my food when no one is at home.
for now.i dont know if i am actually lokoing forward to ORD. 1 is that i dont think i would be going overseas. which was the primary reason for my early enlistment. if i knew that i would be going to poly i would have just left the army when i stll was in tekong. if i left now, i would have wasted my what.10 months? gee, the time i spent serving only dawned on me when i was doing upo this post. 14 more months to go. Back to the topic.
the other option that i have is to take up a study loan from my moms company and then pay it off slowly when i go into the workforce or 2. study in poly and save up then do a degree. the former sounds much more attractive.
nursing in a poly in singapore as compared to aussie is not a east and a west but rather has their own strenghts. weakness is not a word i would use in this comparison. Singapore's strenght is that they provide a longer intership with the hospitals. i also get to move around the different departments and get to experience different aspects of hopsital and nursing life. Australia has a longer history of nursing in their faculties. the theory offered in both educational nations are roughly the same, though one has a histroy of producing one of the top few batches of nurses that the world has seen and experienced.
Studying in Singapore would be less financially painful cus the school fees are what. $2k a year? As compared to Australia, its easily A$15 k for metric and A$25 for uni? thats not inculding accomodaiton and food!
Singapore is where i grew up. its not a foriegn land for me. Whereas Australia is. A new life, culture, WEATHER, lifestyle, friends and environment is just the beginning of a never ending list of new. Independence is not much of a worry for me thanks to the stint in the army.
all in all. the desicion is yet to be made. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5
I'm sticking with THE BEST IS YET TO BE.
