think i’ve somehow changed my mind bout not studying in an university.. so strange.. i’m always on the stand tat i should just work after i get out of the army.. and grab a part time degree then start life as a true adult..
recently have been thinking i’ve been thinking again.. i’ve now decided that if NUS accepts me.. i’ll go for it.. else i’ll drop the idea..
i want to make it big but how.. i’m not contented with the free lancing projects i’ve been doing nor the $50 per trip computer fixing sessions.. i want to grow my web hosting “business” but i’ve been putting it off and off time and time again.. (clara should know 
) i’m greedy, i’m blinded by money.. no maybe not.. don’t tell me money is not important in making one happy.. i’m sure it does..
i just wish to enjoy a better life in the future, relieving my parents of the burden.. yet i don’t need to live in luxury nor drive the ferrari (well, i can’t drive yet as of now :cryout:).. don’t think i’m asking too much eh?
i want to be less of a procrastinator, more workaholic, smarter, more 
(yes, most business man are evil) in the right sense and lovable by all! :lust:

If you need my help with your web hosting, let me know. I can help you even when I go to university. One more thing. Try to futher your studies. It will be worthwhile in the future and its best for you and your parents. Nothing is certain and it will be harder to find jobs soon. For me, I rather continue being a full-time student. Hehe..

You really don’t wanna give SMU a try? You can choose Business or other courses in SMU. More flexibility. Doesn’t mean u gotta take ISM when u apply for SMU.
12th May, 2005 at 12:16 AM
Hmm. yeah. i applied for Business Management in SMU also got in. But i guess derick is still pro in IT. shld stick to IT.
quoted from derick: “but i feel inferior compared to so many others in singapore and not to mention the rest of the world.. not too smart after all”
to derick: sickening. u not smart then wad are we.. zzz

12th May, 2005 at 9:57 PM
Lolx.. hey, u can do a part-time degree while u r in NS and then think about going to SMU after you finish ur NS you know that?
12th May, 2005 at 11:59 PM
cert is crap in overseas but the freaking paper worth alot in SINGAPORE.
u pay around 6k per year and to some, they are just there for that sake, not for the knowledge and skills taught. plus the professors there ain’t so li hai after all. do think that how many of the ICT lecturers and tutors actually know their stuffs?
derick: yes u might be inferior but work hard towards it. used em as a target and movitivation
stand firm on what you want and go for it. youth is very important. but ambition and dreams are more important though.
and perhaps you ALL reading should think this way.. if you study and waste money on the cert.. but after getting the cert what will u be doing? seeking a job with the cert? and thinking of getting a much higher pay? dream on. companies are damn stingy nowadays. and what else? u get hard cold wages per month and do so many consignments for the company. but if u think the other way in setting up your own company and get business, you get the whole instead of the monthly stupid low wages. the company may get 10k for a commercial advert and u work and that project in the company, u probably get only what? 1.5-2.3k for your salary + little incentives only.
think..

Certificates allow you to fall back on to when times are difficult. Yes, they are not everything but they ensure your survival in future – your future & your life. For me, I intend to learn as much as I can and then with the skills, experience and knowledge learned in school, I will set up my own business. At least with a degree, I won’t starve if my business fails. In about 10yrs time, any Tom, Dick or Harry will have a diploma too.
Btw, derick. If you get a degree and with your skills, companies WILL WANT you. That will make you stand out even more and increase your chances of getting higher paid jobs etc. With your skills, you will be more successful when setting up your own business.

got skills. got certs. got experience. got money. got everything but if no luck, nothing is possible.
