Just the other day, I just realised that I had to make a decision that would determine my future. And that feeling sucks big time. I mean I'm 21 this year, and most of my friends at my age would probably be deciding which uni and what course they would want to take up, and here I was deciding which career path would I want to take which would somehow determine my future. It just sucks.

To add to the suckiness, I was so close to being accepted into SIA when Toshiba had to call and inform me that I was selected for their accounts assistant position*it was desire to work for an MNC when I graduated*. I was delighted that I got my wish, but at the same time thrown into a dilemna on whether I should choose my career as a flight stewardess or to work for an MNC which was my desire. All these had to be decided within a day. Help me.

In the end, I decided that if I didn't get through that round of interview for SIA, I would take up the Toshiba job. During the SIA interview, some part of me wanted them to kick me out so I could comfort myself with the fact that at least I got what I had desired. But I got through to the final round of interview and I had to give up my chance of working for an MNC, the feeling sucks when you have to give up something that you have always wanted. But I will be happy too if I get the job as a flight stewardess with SIA. At least I get to see the world, and at the same time get paid for it! :)

I guess the sentence "can't have the best of both worlds" holds true.

Maybe ACCA? I can't decide now. My results are not that good. So, i don't pin high hopes for myself. SQ is gonna be fun. But, after you started working, the chances is that you will probably not want to study anymore. :)
