Studying in aussie

Hi guys!! Just received an email that made my day but before i tell you what it is about, i would give some background regarding that matter first. 

So, as some of you know, when i received my olevel results, i was deciding between going to jc or going to poly to do ADM. And obviously i choose ADM.

But after being in this course, it got me thinking about my future and my career later on. Also, during one of my module, i had to do some career research and so i got to research more about the career i was interested in. And i realised that not only the career i was interested in but most of the careers in the fashion industry has irregular hours. And if you know me well, i am someone who work towards a work-life balance. As much as i love the fashion world, i do not want fashion to be my whole world because to me, there are other things that are important in life as well. Thinking long term as well, i cant imagine have little or no weekend and public holidays because of work. In future, when i have a family (yeah i know i really think very very far hahaha) i don't wanna miss out on my children growing up or not having quality time with my loved ones.

Apart from that, these jobs are not very well paid in singapore (yup, i researched on the not only the working hours but the salary as well hahahaha). 

And also, what i am doing (now) is extremely subjective. My grades depend entirely on my lecturers but the thing is art or fashion is very subjective and everyone has different perspectives and thinking.

So, after thinking it through carefully and talking to my parents about it, i came to a decision that what i am doing now is not worth the stress, time (having no life), money (i've spent so much on my materials and assignments and everything, and it would not get better in future lol), long working hours and low pay in future and the fact that there is little recognition for what i am doing as what i have said earlier on. 

So, i applied for a University of Queensland Foundation Year programme and today i received an email telling me that i am accepted!!!!!!! Thank God!!! :D

Basically, the foundation year would be less than a year and if my grades meet a certain criteria, i would move on to University of Queensland and would be guaranteed a spot there. I would start school next feb hehe. Oh ya, it's in australia, brisbane fyi :-)

So, i would still be singapore until i'm not too sure when also hahaha.

But i'm excited :-)

And i'm so thankful for my parents who gave me this option <3 p="">

And if you are wondering if i regret, honestly no i dont because i did enjoy my time in adm and have learnt soo much and meet some wonderful people along the way.

And since the foundation programme is one year, i did not really waste my year or am slower than the jc people since we would be going to uni at the same time. I might even enter earlier because of they have to wait for the release of a level results. 

So, i don't regret and i am glad i realised i wanna change early enough and thank God i got accepted :-)

Oh, and i would be going over during the national day hols to take a look at the school and all whoohoo!!

That's all for now. Soo happy :D

Thank you for reading this wordy post hahaha.

God bless!
