By I am changing course.
As most of you know, I initially taking up Chinese Studies for my degree course.
I took up this course because I like Chinese language and have interest in it. I feel very comfortable expressing myself in Chinese words as it’s very expressive. No doubt that Chinese is a very beautiful language. Every single Chinese characters symbolizing a tiny piece of art in itself. I had decided to pick up this course ever since form one.
Well, I may like Chinese a lot.
But it doesn’t means that the careers that this course leads me to will suits me.
After I finish my degree, I will most probably end up as an educator, writer, news reporter, interpreter or a journalist which I have not much interest in. People said that China is now growing and so Chinese will be very important, but hell, I don’t see how those history thingy will help me in the future. Plus, people like me that have short term memory lost will most probably forget about those history that I memorized in one or two months time. Pretty useless and sounds rather not practical.
I have to admit that I had never thought of all these before this, and maybe, I don’t even know what I really want before this. Till I realize I enjoy communicating with people around a lot, and due to many more reasons, I know, I am suppose to take up Public Relation(PR) which suits my personalities more instead. In addition, there’s Chinese in communication in this particular course which I guess it’s what I am looking for. Also, UTAR will be offering us language classes, which is when I am going to pick up my Chinese studies again.
Doing what I love without giving up what I am interested in.
Seems to be oh-so-perfect uh?
But brilliant enough, Utar course transfer dead line had just past.
I am not allowed to do the course transfer now. I have to wait till I finish my foundation(with excellent results), PAY THE BILL for chinese studies course, only I can apply to be transfer to PR course(which is not guaranteed will be approve).
I got really worry ever since I was told about it.
If I am not allowed to transfer to PR course, I will be studying Chinese studies, graduate and work as something that I dislike? ughhh. wasting money and wasting my time as well.
I have no idea what can I do now. *emo*
Meet up with YY, the genius together with MY and Warren after class. They are supposed to help me up in my maths. But instead of that, they spent most of the time helping me out by casting in my Mcd’s video(doing it impromptu). wtf, yea.
These people are really interesting. They kept cracking out with humorous jokes that makes me laugh my lungs out. Thanks guys, you people had just make up my day. ;)
me, Yy, My, & Warren.
Integrations uh?
oh yea, spot the man in the red circle?
He’s actually posing when I am taking photos of Warren and YY.
How freaky. gosh.
I said I suspect that he is interested in one of the guys. lol.
God bless.

April 3, 2009great, another person doing PR. You will be in high demand in the industry, because you are fluent in mandarin and hopefully can read and write in it.
But PR.. is FAR from just having a nice personality and loving to talk and meet with people.
Be warned, its not easy.
