oh no, is this karma or what?! i can't open my chinese software! damnnnnn.

anyway, i talked to my mother about maybe wanting to go to poly after olevels, because after so long, a course in temasek poly really attracted me. shan't explain what the course is, here's the website.

http://www.tp.edu.sg/courses/pbcook.htm

put aside the distance temasek is from jurong, i don't see whats so bad about poly. i mean times have changed, and poly isn't as bad as it was many decades ago. what has poly lacked, that jc has? so what if i won't be exposed to many things if im in poly, than i would be in jc? thats why im choosing a course that i like in poly, isn't it?

so what if poly has to study for 3 years, while jc 2 years? at least there's really close up interaction with the things that im interested in, if i get to the poly and the course i wanted, plus im able to gain that experience.

moreover, if i get into jc and if i want to make my alevel cert useful, i've to proceed on to university; but if i get into poly and get a diploma instead, i don't need an university honours to make it honourable or whatever, i can just go out and hold a proper job.

who says if going into poly doesn't get me anywhere in university? i can just always work doubly hard to get into top 10% and grab myself a seat in university. futhermore, im most probably starting from year2 and i may still be with the yr1990 batch of people. the only difference will be that i have more experience in the area im working with. even if i didn't get into any university, so be it.

so what if poly grads' salaries ain't as high as those jc/uni grads? i don't mind starting from a little sum of salary, i have no rush for a job that offers a salary that is at least 3k or higher, do i? after all, my final destination is to set up a restaurant of my own, or something that makes myself the boss.

i don't understand why must she be so biased against poly? can't she just change her old mindset and let me choose something that i like, instead of closing her ears and changing her expression everytime i said 'poly'? why is it i have to be controlled on everything? earholes, truancy, subject combinations, schools, everything!

so what if i've gave up those sap schools for commonwealth, so what if i've gave up triple science for phy/chem. does it really matter to me if i had followed the former? i doubt so. i guess i'd be even more stressed up than where and what im now. though i may have truly disappointed my mom alot for not going to the choices that she wanted me to, but i don't like to continue on things that i have no interest at all.

im planning to tell this poly course to my sis and bro asap, hoping that they will be able to change my mom's mindset. though to my suprise that my brother had actually talked to my mom about letting me choose which path i want to take after olevels, but that was like last year? and i don't think my mom did pay attention to what he said either. don't care!

people out there, please root for me.
