I have a big decision to make. And it's a really big one that would affect my future.


As most of my avid blog readers would know, i actually thought of switching my current course and transferring to the School of Business. And of all the Business courses, i was actually eyeing on the DBA (Diploma in Business Admin) course. I've already sent in my transfer letter about 3weeks ago but i received a reply letter saying that i missed the cut off point by 1point and there aren't any more vacancies. However, i still didn't give up despite the setback. My dad arranged for me to meet his friend who has been a lecturer in SP for 20years to have a chat on how or what i could do to ensure my chances of transfer to be higher. After our long chat, we've come to a few conclusions..

No. 1

Meet the Director of the School of Business and arrange to have an interview with him.

I'll have to use my persuasive powers to try to convince him why he should admit me into the School of Business.


No. 2

If my appeal is rejected because i'm not able to be admitted halfway during the semester, then i'll have to wait for another year before i try to admit.

This means that i'll basically waste one year away. If this really happens, i'll sit in for business lectures throughout this one year so that i'll get to gain knowledge. I'll also work at the same time since i wont be officially schooling.


No. 3


Continue with what i'm currently studying now.

I'll just have to bite the bullet and finish my 3years. The only two things that are holding me back is that i'm not planning to use Design as my career next time, so i don't really see a point why i should continue studying something that i wont apply in future. The other reason is that i've already failed 2modules and this would mean that it would leave a black mark on my GPA (Grade Point Average) when i go out to work in future and this would reflect badly on me.



No. 4


Try to transfer to the Business schools in other polytechnics.

I'll have to source for those with a higher cut off point so that i'll be able to enter into their Business schools. I checked up on all the polytechnic's websites and it seems that i'm eligible for only Temasek, Nanyang and Republic Polytechnic's Business schools.



No. 5


I think this is the most silly option among the other 4. My parents actually suggested that i serve my National Service early. -.-


If i were to weigh the pros and cons.. Nah, there isn't really any pros except that i may come back looking more tough and have a more well built body? LOL. I guess my friends would all laugh their heads off if they were to see me enter the army and have my hair shaved! Yea, my precious hair! So i think this option would most probably be a no no.



Oh ya. But irregardless which decision that i've decided on, i would still be pulling out of school within this week if i'm not wrong. My parents feel that there isn't a need to continue paying school fees if i'm not going to study what i want. Besides, i wouldn't want my GPA to be affected, so i would have to pull out early if i don't want my data to be keyed in.

I'm still kinda racking my brains over which path i should take. Whichever path i take now would determine my future. But one thing is for sure no matter which path i take. I'll miss my Singapore Poly friends, my Sports Club friends and most of all, i'll miss you dearly. You know what? I didn't exactly told the truth when you asked me why i didn't want to transfer out. I told you that i would miss my SP friends. Yea, that's true, but i guess the main reason is coz i don't want the separation with you. You're a key player in my decision making.
