I know I declared a 2-week hiatus. I also know that I cannot last 2 weeks without blogging. Not that I'm a blog addict. I just have news. =D

SOOOO, my big news is..... that......... I'm...............

GETTING MARRIED!

no, not really. Actually, the big news is that I'm moving to Melb next year. =) I'm switching course entirely and I'm moving to Melb after my IP (industry placement) this year. The reason I'm still going ahead with my IP is 'cause I wanna earn lots and lots of money to cover whatever expenses (including tuition fees) I've already spent this year, and possibly earn more so that I can cover some of my expenses for next year as well. So, the only thing I'm wasting is time. BUT, I'm still young (trying to console myself), and by the time I graduate, I will still be young (definitely much younger than when those future-surgeons/doctors graduate, heehee).

So to answer some of the questions that some of you have already asked/are going to ask:

What course am I taking? Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Accounting and possibly Actuarial Studies (depending on how crazy I am).

Which uni? Uni of Melb.

Why Uni of Melb? Because I can.

Why move to Melb? Because I can.

Why change course? Because I can.

So, basically, because I can lah!

Okay, seriously, I'm moving there because of certain family situations that I shall choose not to disclose because it will embarass one certain member of my family greatly. hehe. And my parents feel safer with me in Melb 'cause I have an aunt there, so I won't go missing for days without anyone realising. And I'm miserable in Adelaide (although this is only a very small tiny tiny part of it).

Reasons for course switch, in no particular order:

1) Financial situations, the fees where I'm studying at the current moment is ridiculous,

2)Possibility of scholarship so it will help problem no. 1, thus further lightening my dad's burden of having to support me and my useless brother (don't cut your wrist, I'm only kidding, you know I love you... as much as you love me! I know you do =D).

3)According to miss RX and my aunt, getting a PR in aus will be easier if I choose a course which is in demand, i.e. Bach of Commerce/Accounting etc.,

4)Better future/higher pay (so it will help problem no. 1), etc.

5)IF, and only IF, my results are good, I will be offered jobs at super canggih companies before I even graduate

6)More relaxing hours than what I have here now = can work part-time = can help with problem no.1

7)More holidays = can work = can help with problem no.1

Before any of you start with the "I-told-you-so's" (yes, I'm looking at all of you who told me I was wasting my potential/brains (what brains??) on hospitality course), I don't think that coming here was a mistake. It was more of... a learning experience. =) Learning to be in a place where I knew no one, learning to adapt... and most of all, I believe I did learn a lot during this one semester in this course. I do still like this course... or whatever I've learnt in the past semester anyway. And if not for a naggy feeling that I'm "wasting my potential" (yeah so you guys did get to me after all, *grumble grumble*), I would still continue with this course. So, I have no regrets whatsoever in making the "mistake" of coming here. At least I got a chance to bartend, and I was good at it too, ho ho ho. Okay, jokes aside, the most important lesson I learnt, I guess, is that it's okay to make mistakes sometimes, even big mistakes like this. No one's perfect. And, at least I get to earn back the money (and more) when I go for IP. Okay, I'm done defending my mistake. I will now brace myself for the "I-told-you-so's". Bring it on! =P

One very very bad thing that's come out of this decision is... I'm putting zero effort into my exams next week.. meaning even LESS effort than I normally put in.. if that's even possible =D
