A picture of me before you read all my nonsense again HAHAH*
So recently I have been VERY VERY VERY PUZZLED on whether what I want to be...
How my life would be after poly....
And right now my life is just being fantastic. Slack all day... Take photos when I want.. Eat when I want, Gym when I want, Draw when I like, etc& so on...
I only work on the weekends and 7 hours each a day...
So nothing really struck me because I'm currently waiting for my NS enlistment ma...
But come to think of it... I don't even know what kind of jobs I wana pursue after army.
Let's not say now because its rubbish.. for weeks I had been puzzled because I was thinking..
WHAT I WANT TO BE IN LIFE.....
So do I want to be a game designer? I mean I am major in Digital Media Design (Games) So I should pursue a career in that direction ??? and guess what...
My answer is a big ..... NO.
Oh god I can go and kill myself already because I am officially going to graduate with this certificate in two weeks time AND I DON'T WANT TO DO SOME THING WHICH IS RELATED TO MY COURSE?!?!?!?!
Does that mean that I've wasted my 3 years in poly????
Actually no, because given the skill sets that I've picked up throughout the years I can do a lot. Graphic designer, Photographer, so on and so forth...
SOOOOOOO.... I decided to make my trip down to Kaplan City Campus at Wilkie Edge (Directly beside PEACE CENTRE).
Which I arranged an appointment with the pretty Carmen from their sales department to further explain to me what courses they offer AND WHAT KIND OF COURSE SUITS ME.
Oh god I really needed that because I dono what I want to study siol...
So carmen is really really professional. She explained to me every course and asked me about what kind of course I prefer.....
So I gave her two options that surprised her :
1) Bachelor of Communication (DOUBLE MAJOR)
- communication & media studies and public relations
(Sorry marketing is just not my thing)
2) Bachelor of Arts
- Psychology
She was like opening her eyes so big when I told her my interests because she said the two options are like TOTALLY DIFFERENT FIELDS. LOL
And that being Option one is more towards Media and Advertising
And Option two being the one which is more of helping people, being a teacher, a psychologist of cos?
So in the end I did not choose the Bachelor of Arts because.....
She told me If I want to be a psychologist I need to go to Masters leh.. That's a really long time in my opinion. HAHA.
Come to think of it, she asked me what I want to be and I told her....
Teacher, Air Steward, Model, Photographer, Actor, SO MANY MORE... then she gave me the stun* face.
ANW... I chose option 1
She then took me to explore the school a bit...
The school occupied level 2 & 5 of the building. So at level 2 there's a library.. A really quiet and nice place to study!
So level 2 really nothing much so we went up to level 5.... The corridors are all air conditioned and SO NICE EVEN GOT A NICE ATAS SMELL LOL
We went to the meeting room aka, I think its like the general office of a school la.. also very chio!
They even have a garden in the school.. My goodness!
So I went to snap pictures of students studying and TADAHH Someone saw me LOL
Besides the library if you're someone like me. You would want a study corner COS YOU CAN TALK THERE... LOL
Another class.... But this one is an empty one though…
She then further explained in detail about the courses to me after the campus trip....
Bachelor of Communication, is a course from Murdoch University (for your info Murdoch is from Australia if you suaku like me dono de) and they are well known for their Double Major courses.
Double Major you don't tell me you dono if you dono you go read the prerequisite of secondary schools.
OHYA.. Speaking of prerequisite I asked a question which EVERYONE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW...
Because I am from a different major.. and like almost totally different course except the word media....... Can I enter Bachelor of Communication with my not related cert?
The answer is .....
YES
Wah I sibei heng siol. the only difference is that Kaplan offer's Murdoch's courses being of Year 2&3... Which means if I never ever cover anything from year 1 before I might need to take up a few more modules so that I have the basic knowledge to carry on...
and yes... year 2&3 so basically you can finish the course earliest in 16-20 MONTHS. COME UP THAT'S LESS THAN 2 YEARS..... LOCAL UNIVERSITY IS LIKE WHAT? 3-4YEARS? AFTER I GRADUATE FROM LOCAL LIAO I BECOME LKK WHO WANT TO HIRE ME. HAHAHAHA
AND Actually the good thing about Murdoch is that their certificate will NOT have anything related to Kaplan. which maybe some people 'fear' that having gone to a private school will minus the chances of people hiring you......
So you can actually proudly tell people that you graduated from a school in Australia..... LOL
And Murdoch's certificate in Mass comm is really well recognised in the media industry... Many of her students went to mediacorp, SPH, big local advertising firms to work...
So it doesn't mean that if you graduate from a private school means its BAD....
And hor the best part of all is that....
the school fees are relatively AFFORDABLE.. I wouldn't say that its cheap la... but its really so much cheaper than the school I initially wanted to go...
I wanted to go Digipen and the course fee was 80k all round...
This courses that local university offers range at about SGD$25k
and Kaplan offer's Murdoch's courses at around SGD$19-24k
then i gave Carmen the O.O face and she added.
'Yes, It doesn't mean that private schools are more expensive than local schools you know?'
Then i carry on with the OMG-ness feeling in my heart because ITS REALLY QUITE CHEAP IF YOU COMPARE WITH THE INITIAL 80K COURSE THAT I WANTED....
And hor... Part time and full time course differs by a few hundred dollars only so I rather go and study full time... Monday - Friday and also not like what leh 3 times a week like that only? I think so cos this part I don't remember LOL.
So I ended off asking her a stupid question.... Is there a canteen in the school?
She showed me level 1....
Dafug siol got Hans and even starbucks... She confirm think that I'm a crazy person craving for only food in that area LOL
Anw if you're interested in Kaplan campus, you can go to their website
http://www.kaplan.com.sg/khea or click here to check out how you can possibly get $300 study rebate!
Do check it out man! Its a cool website they also offer courses from other universities not just Murodch still got so many like. you don't believe me you see for yourself lol...
EVERY SINGLE BROCHURE YOU SEE THERE REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT COURSE THAT THEY PROVIDE....
SO GOT SO MANY COURSES SIOL MY GOD....
So I shall end off with a little tip...
Kaplan has two campuses - one in Orchard and One at Wilkie Edge...
If you're clever you won't be like me, went to the wrong campus uh! HAHAHA
Although the Orchard one is relocating near to the wilkie edge one soon! AHAHA
Okay la... A photo of me to bid goodbye!

Ohya I also want to specially thank Carmen who giving me the right direction for my studies and career, she explained everything in detail and I totally understood them..
