Issues

A) Waterboi is bloody phantom

Come on, dun keep jesting about me on this. I choose to be like this. It is my choice. STOP chiding me or sidetrack me with remarks. Treat my decision with some respect.

There are reasons why i chose this path and i dun feel obliged to tell everytime you people put me down.

Reasons are:

1. I don't feel for the hall anymore. The passion i have for hall is long gone. My impression of hall has changed after i came back from SEP. A year of SEP has changed me, but for the better i had always hoped for. I will always miss my days in hall. The days i will remember will be the ones i enjoyed my 2 years in KR.

As qingyou mentioned a long time ago in his blog when he came back from hall, " Things have changed".

I agree with him truly. Even more so when i came back after one year. It was too different from what i expect. I struggled to fit in. I am not ashamed to say that. I found myself unable to relate to my block or hall ppl.

My memories for hall are, as i said, in my 2 years. Maybe SEP did alot of damage. Maybe i din attend last year's Command have an impact on me. I dunno but i know things have certainly change.

I noe this post will change your perception of me when you ppl tok to me but i guess i have to be honest with myself. I noe i will shed a tear or two come Command but the tears are for that 2 years in KR.

2. I don't feel wanted in block. reason? dun feel like explaining. Period.


B) FYP

It really saps my time. I want to do a good one b4 i embark on the working world. I wan to show that i have an academic sense somewhere in me.

Why?

When my prof read the topic i want to research on, he said,
"If you really do well for this topic, it is possible for your paper to have it published."

That is really a big compliment. But i doubt i can reach tat level coz of the limited amount of time and i think it is too ambitious for a 2 months worth of thesis.

so i might as well try it out. you never now what may happen.



C) My Career Prospects

I have a problem.

Job 1

I was offered a scholarship by JSP, subsidary of Sembcorp. u noe the the 9pm show abt offshore? somethign like tt.

I will be bonded for a year. good news rite??

but....

Job 2
My uncle offers me a job in his company, possibly better benefits than the scholarship job offer.

WhY??

1. travel to germany(that's y i learn german ma) and china for projects ever now and then

2. really high bonus at year end (high end of 5 figure sum)

3. jobscope entails consultancy in civil engineering and also on procurement.

4. basically my ideal job


Why i doubt it??

1. not good to work under a relative, esp when a big shot in company.

2. think is too early to enter that area

3. on advice of my dad, offshore seems to be a good training ground for any engineering discipline.


So, i'm quite distracted by it. Need some time to mull over it.............
