I've been doing alot of thinking lately.. I've been super stressed out by my course which I'm currently studying in Poly - Chemical Engineering.
Chemical Engineering is one of the best courses in Poly, which is probably why it is one of the toughest as well, and NUS is the only Uni in Singapore that offers a degree in Chemical Engineering. Moreover in NUS, Chem Eng is arguably the toughest course already, tougher than medicine or law even..

The GPA requirement for NUS Chem Eng was raised from 3.89 last year to 3.99 this year (why not just make it 4.0, no diff right -.-).. And I heard that they only accept 10 students from Poly every year, where the other 100+ slots are reserved for A level holders.. And those 10 Poly students are competing from SP, TP and NP, meaning approximately >300 Chem Eng students combined from all 3 Polys. So only 10 students out of these >300 students are selected to join NUS Chem Eng. The rest will have to study abroad if they really want to pursue Chem Eng as their career, otherwise they'll just have to study another degree..

Talk about the society getting more and more competitive nowadays.. looks like it's getting more fucking impossible instead... 3.99 GPA seriously? The only way one can achieve that kind of GPA is either he's Einstein or a freaking robot. At least other courses like Engineering or mechanical engineering have more leeway with more understandable GPA requirements like 3.5~3.7 ..
3.99 is just.. simply impossible, there's no room for error.. You'd have to be perfect .. One mistake and poof.. there goes your 0.01 GPA margin for error.. =.=

And the fact that I screwed up my Year 1 GPA is altogether destroying my chances to enter into ANY course in a local U.. unless it's a private U, which usually doesn't offer the job-scope related to my course. Most of the courses in Private Us are business-related, which I'm not interested in..

So I have been contemplating lately on changing course.. * I will continue updating from here when I have more to say *
For now, this issue has left me moody and disorientated these few days. Blogging about it may help keep it off my heart. Bye for now ~

*edit*
Okay I've made up my mind already.
I'm gonna withdraw from my course, though I've yet to be officially withdrawn. I need to contact my lecturer now to settle the admin stuff and that's all. For now, my parents are asking me to find a job, which I won't mind. Beats having nothing to do at home.

Anyway now that I'm gonna be withdrawn from my course, my plan is to study dentistry(either through diploma in NYP) or learn it from private institutes/labs from overseas. Why dentistry? Well some of you might know that my parents are dentists.. so yea, they can help me a lot
And I mean A LOT .

Like even after I graduate and go out to work, I can still seek them for guidance, that's why my parents are kinda urging me to study dentistry as well. I won't budge anymore since this would be my last chance to pursue further studies already.

For now, I'll probably have to complete my NS first before continuing on with my studies. NS is so inconvenient seriously... waste 2 years in between ...
That's all I've to say regarding this issue. I pray that I can turn over a new leaf after this lesson learnt.
