today...the graduation ceremony for the Mechanical Engineering School jus ended(1600++). i was part of the ceremony as an usher. comin next year, i will be the major part of it. Mechanical Engineering School houses my course, Mechatronics Engineering.

i have been thinkin long and hard about my future plans. the most ideal would be that i get headhunted jus after i graduate and HOPEFULLY the company/organisation decides to further my studies. well, this is the most ideal situation.

a few other alternative would be to start work immediately after graduation. however, mummy seems to not agree to that. well, i was actually hoping to get some money rolling in, instead of helping her spend her income. its actually bad enough that i have wasted my 2 years and my parents's 2 years worth of resources on me. the urge to take care of them grows ever so steadily. in most of the games i play, i understood that timing is often of the utmost importance. now i guess its still not time to enter the job market yet.

so last option, to continue studies. luckily i got it quite planned out already. most likely, i will get myself into NTU Degree in Mechatronics(stream). i decided to stick back to the mechatronics industry. i have actually heard many accounts from lecturers that most of the students will diverge into either mechanical or electrical. however, i think my passion is too deep into mechatronics already. hehehe. all this studying at the expense of my parents AGAIN. haiz...the predicted year that i will have finished my degree will be around 2009. If i get into direct honours, it will be at 2010. by then the world will be in another pattern already.

during my free time at my ushering job, i looked around at the achievements of the gold medalist and shrunk in response. how am i supposed to join their ranks with my puny contributions? i think i had better hide myself in shame and solitary corner. nevertheless, even if i cant be half as great as the medalist, i shall try my best to narrow the gulf between us.

current stats :
GPA (max. 4)=3.898[3.963,3.833]
6-AD 3-A+ 2-A 2-B+ 1-B
CCA score=3 points(pathetic)
deadline...till december 2005
