Its been a bad day. So for once, this post will be all-over-the-place.
I just had this late night thought.

What would someone be willing to sacrifice to pursue what he truly desires? For one thing, desire is a strong word and should be constantly kept in check. At this juncture of my life, I'm questioning my own intentions and the lengths I'd go to pursue my ambitions. They say that one secret of life is to follow your heart and passion to find fulfillment. What do you think?

Anyway, I was pondering over two courses to apply for University. Bsc in Social Sciences at SMU and Bsc in Maritime Studies at NTU. After tonight, I was pondering on whether I'd be truly passionate in my pursuit of excellence if I were to enter these courses. I do have some measure of interest but will it garner the full attraction for me?

The current solution to find out was to take up various internships or jobs with marine companies or MPA to see if there was something in it for me in MS. Whereas for SS, I'd approach the Ministry of community,youth and sports and various social service providers, working alongside counsellors or social workers.

Sounds good? Not quite. There's something about Social Sciences that tells me I might not work well with the people in there. Kinda reminds me of the Law days. Dont get me wrong...they're all nice people but for myself, I was in the wrong place with the wrong people.

Oh wait. I forgot about Sports Management. That seems like a bigger opportunity; particularly because I'd be participating in more future sports and taking up coaching for soccer very soon.

Ah well..I guess I'd better use my time before NS wisely. Not just to enjoy myself but boost my chances of a more fulfilling life and getting into uni.

Now where's my PPCDL card and NS letter?! If it isnt in the mailbox within 24 hours, I'd have to call MPA and CMPB already!
