Finally I had finished uploaded those photos which  took at Melbourne and Sydney to my facebook. A relieved feel came through me and I would like to say "PHEW" aloud.

And again, I had setup my mind to continue study either degree or foundation ( If my Diploma can't serve as entry requirement). I knew I am late compared to some other friends. Most of them had graduated or already further study in Master. Yeah, people told me as well. I will not care how people think and say, I am late in fact but it doesn't mean I'm not suppose to study. Knowledge is the key of succeed. A lot of people are taking some courses while working at the same time and why can't I? It's ridiculous to say "You are too old to study"!

I had chosen the different pathway back to few years time. I decided to take neither STPM nor Matriculation but Diploma in Dispensing Optician. I was just realised how lousy was my Diploma until this year while I started to plan for my future though it's provided from UK. Most of the Universities said it can't be serve as Degree entry requirement due to it's sort of Professional Diploma. Fortunately, one of the Uni has offered me to study their Optometry but I do not think I will go with that.

As everybody knows, Optometry is a super expensive course yet the futher career is not as demanding as overseas in Malaysia. Yet to be honest, I am not from a wealthy family and I don't wish my family to bear my study fees. As the result, I have gave up this opportunity and continue my journey with other plan although I am interested on this course.

As what I mentioned earlier, my current Diploma doesn't serve as entry requirement of most courses. So, if I decided to continue study in some other fields, I may need to spend another one year to go through foundation course before Degree. But it's alright for me. I will not just give up the study opportunity due to the time duration. I don't wish I will regret in future and it will be too late for me to turn back.

To be honest, I am a little of regret to choose the Diploma but not STPM or Matriculation few years back. If, I went for either one of them, I have graduated this year or last year with the Degree Honour. And yet, I will start my career soon. Well, nothing is perfect on this world and you will not get to know the answer until you make the final choice. At least, I owned an optician licence legally now and it served as a backup for me just in case I do not like office works one day later.

There's a gain while you lost something. I lost the opportunities but I gained friendships and working experiences earlier compared to same batch mates. I got to know a lot of nice good friends while I studied and worked at the same time. I am actually proud of myself whom never take money from family since the day I started my Diploma ( I was 18 at that time) and I was actually manage to buy them stuffs by my own earned money. At least, I am financial independent.

People asked me why I don't continue with my Optician career as it provides fair wages instead of continue study? Well, for your information, optician works in optical shop and work while other people're enjoying their public holidays and off during people's working days. Holidays and weekends will be the busy time for us to work  as most of the people spend their time at Shopping Malls. I am tired of long working hours in a day compared to office works. 

I had make the decision to study fulltime and work partime in the following years until I get my Degree. I rather earn less than take longer time to graduate.

I know not everyone can accept my decision. To admit, it's kind of sad when people not agree with you but I don't mind and will not care. That's my future and I run my life. I am so happy that my family and my other half are fully support me with my decision. Their support have provided me willpower to step forward and to clear all the obstacles which try to stop me along my pathway. 

Thanks God for provides me such a felicitous family and those whom stay by my side all the way long. I love you guys more than what I can say. Words are not enough to express my feeling.
