Crossroad

Today, on the 20th June, a rainy afternoon in the city of Munich, have i made the biggest decision in my life yet : whether to stay in Germany for my studies or not. One of the main reasons why i am here for the 5 months is to find out the possibility and feasibility of staying and having struggled with the options for the past months, i have finally come to the conclusion. Many thoughts went through my mind over the past year, the prospects of studying here, working with BMW, how much more will it cost than an education in Singapore, can SMU offer me something better?What i will become if if take the SMU path? Can i manage with the engineering course in German? Will i be able to finish the language in time? and the list goes on and on and on. For the past 3 days especially, my stance had swayed from one camp to the other. Meanwhile SMU has been breathing down my neck, sending emails regarding orientation camp registration, giro forms etc. Time is running out. I have been pushing back the deadline for the final decision times and times again, procrastinating that one day the decision will just fall onto my lap. But no. It didn't. Spoke to many people over the past months, friends from Singapore, friends studying in overseas, friends who completed studies in Germany, and finally friends studying in Germany so I would like use this opportunity to thank all of you who have provided me the much important information and support, in helping me to form my decision. The decision fell back on my own principle of investing, Risk what you can afford to lose. Having already wasted two years in NS, i can't afford to wait another year and study 1 more to find myself unable to cope with the course. So yup, i am staying in Singapore. Time to search for the next owner for my trusty bicycle! =..(
