I've been thinking... should I pursue an honours degree right now, or continue working for two more years before completing my education?... The initial plan of entering Monash University's out of the question due to some really huge stumbling blocks. Then there’s the plan to apply for LJMU (Liverpool John Moores University)... the thought was perished when I found out that it was a summer programme. Attaining an honours degree in 7 months seems a little dodgy if you ask me. Besides, most of the applicants are Malaysians. The programme is in collaboration with some Malaysia thingy. SIM is next in line. I was just looking at their list of courses. I'm considering it quite a bit now. First, I have to talk to mom and dad about it. Chances are; they would want me to wait though. I was told to chip in to pay for my sister’s education in the mean time... -.-

Besides pondering about that, I've been rather bummed out recently. My aunts are on my case regarding a higher paying job. One of them wants me to work in her company... and the other is urging me to send my resume to her nephew's IT firm. Honestly, why can't they just understand the fact that I am happy with my job? I love what I do and I gain more experience as I pick up certain skills that I will not be able to in large business organisations. Also, I detest the sort of politics that goes on in those companies. A small working environment with fewer people means, there are lesser politics or none at all in this case. And, I get to see the love of my life where I am right now... which is a major plus!

Seriously, I wish they would leave me alone. Let me decide what I want to do with my life. They've intruded enough. Oh the hassle of belonging to a huge family. Pfft.
