I finally got the acceptance letter that I was waiting for. I got accepted into the Bachelor of Arts in International Hotel and Tourism programme. Now I have to make the 1st payment of approx. $12,000. This has to be done by the 14th of May.

It seems like a bank trip to the different banks for me now. And a matter of getting an education loan that could pay for my continuous study.

This is the hard part. I know my financial position. Without the bank loan, I won't be able to get in this July intake. But I have to try. I definitely want to continue studying first. Thereafter, it'll be a working life for me. But for now, I gotta study.

Mom doesn't agree. She feels that I shld work first and at least get a bank loan later for the January intake. That is not my plan. I am not ready for the working world as of yet. Contrary to beliefs, it is still a paper chase out there. I am but another kiasu person trying to make my mark and my dreams come true.

It is not easy. Nothing is. The journey is just beginning.
