Whew,
Yep, i know i haven't been making posts here for quite a while, or elsewhere. I guess i'm getting tired of blogging, for now, and with everything that's going on in life right now, i think i've nothing good left to say.
I feel like an old geezer on his deathbed, too smart, too maverick-ky, stubborn, seemingly stupid and generally, really tired. Like as though, i'm satisfied with facing the prospect of going from this world and am extremely content to live out my life as a hermit.
That's probably the spur of the moment thing.
But anyway, no more Melbourne! I'm not going there to study, or work, for at least a few more months. I've decided to end it by withdrawing from my course of study at Melbourne University, though my misadventure cost me a bit over a thousand, which i'll have to pay back after a part-time job hunt.
I did this because, firstly, i don't think i'm ready for my studies with the dire family situation at hand. Secondly, i'd like to spend a bit more time with my dad who's terminally ill. Thirdly, to be very honest, i don't like Australia (long story!). Forthly, Australian Universities tend to focus more of their resources on Business & Sciences, and there's like, Singapore Students (who will literally stick to each other) by the boatload all over Australia which leaves you with the question: Why not just stick to Singapore if you like the company of your own countrymen? Lastly, and i think it's still a point which will be debated vigorously from Sydney to Buenos Aires, Australia doesn't seem to provide many good opportunities for people interested in the Arts & Humanities. Maybe in science and business, and that's still a big question mark.
Of course, i'd not like to discourage anyone considering studying in Australia not to go. In fact, truth be told, i'm still on the look for Universities and Courses, and i can't really let Australia way out of my sights because it's still the only other place besides Britain where my qualifications are recognized favorably. Preferably, i would rather study in better places to the West of Singapore, but we'll see. I'm setting a plan in motion now.
On the family side, as i've mentioned, my dad is terminally ill and doctors have said repeatedly that he won't live past 2008. I'm preparing for the worst now.
