Inner thoughts

Courses, courses, courses

Realized the blog I wrote last night went missing...haiz have to retype agn. Had a bad day at work on fri, was overwhelmed by the heavy work load, have to deal w uncooperative RMs daily, felt I'm underpaid, tot of have to start collections soon and do OT etc...seriously feel like quitting...didn't noe I will miss ctb so much...actually it's e $$$ and colleagues I miss, DEFINITELY NOT collections ar. Went for uob interview during lunch break for operations position which I have an interest in, really hope I get shortlisted for 2nd round of interview...but don dare to place so much hope in it else the greater disappointment.

Went out to an agency which deals with ovs studies w my mum and bro yest morn. My bro planning to go australia to pursue his degree since he didn't mgt to get into the local uni. He didn't wanna continue w his IT course and instead plan to go into psychology. The agent there is quite professional and experienced, asked my bro y particularly psychology, whether he's aware of what e profession is abt etc. cos according to her, psychology is a very difficult course to pursue, has to study 3 yrs then have to be INVITED to pursue honours and the places are very very limited. Even if he gets into honours, have to spend another 2-3 yrs taking up clinical psychology then another 1-3 yrs doing research and thesis, so it's a very expensive and time-consuming course. If didn't mgt to be invited for honours, cannot be considered a psychologist, can only be regarded as having a psychology degree.

My bro is still quite adamant in taking up psychology after what the agent told him, so the agent suggested he talks to psychologists or take up job with welfare homes etc to find out what they are doing so that he can decide for himself whether that's the career he wants to pursue. The agent suggested that my bro takes up 1 yr IT first to obtain an IT degree first and pursue psychology if he's still interested then. The agent even quoted a few cases of her ex-students/colleagues who tot of or oredi taken up psychology; some successful ones and some unsuccessful ones.

This agent is really very experienced and gave very good advice, feel like askg her abt postgraduate courses for myself but didn't ask her in the end cos' she has another appt. My mum encouraged me to further my studies if my bro did decide to go australia since at least we can look after each other and I can upgrade myself too. Actually, I'm considering too...if I didn't mgt to get the uob job...hmm most likely cos' I wanna escape from my current job and at the same time have my bro and darling for company so at least not so lonely.

Went to repair my fossil watch after that and was told the mechanism in it spoilt liao, may have to order fr America if there's no stock and will take 2-3 weeks...haiz...disappointed w the quality cos' the watch is bought fr aust by darling in Feb tis yr, so fast the mechanism spoilt liao. Anyway went to True Yoga which is just 1 level above the fossil svc centre, to find out more abt their yoga classes. Was impressed by the facilities and the flexibility of the courses they offered there, quite tempted to sign up for the package actually but the high course fees held me bk :( Thk I just stick to sports council/cc for my yoga ba, so much cheaper....

Saw that bt batok east cc is starting elementary class for conversational malay, went there just now wanting to register but the gal said the server is down and not sure whether there's any more vacancies/enough pple to start the class...left my no. with her and she sd will call me bk but it's been 2 hours, still no news fr her...

Feeling sianz now cos' goin bk to work tml, have to face all those irritating RMs and see the pile of cases on my desk...
