I started my student life again yesterday. It wasn't an easy decision because of the commitment it will require. Anyway, it is either now or never. So... take a deep breath and jump into it. Three places offer the course I'm interested in. One is HELP, the other is Nottingham University and the third is my former university. I met a student from HELP and another from Nottingham who chose my university instead of continuing with theirs. So I reckon I am making the right choice :)
There's only 5 of us who turned up during registration. After briefing, we went to our first class where there are previous students waiting with abated breath hoping they'll get some male classmates. In we walked, and there we were... all 10 female students who'll stick together throughout the rest of the semester. Another classmate couldn't come so in total there will be 11 of us. I suppose we could get male perspectives if we have male classmates but yesterday we had interesting discussions nonetheless.
We'll have 12 weeks weekend classes, exam the following weekend and 3 weeks break before the next semester begins. That's how my schedule will be for the next 6 semesters. During the briefing, we were told that so far none has completed the course within the minimum time of 2 years because of the thesis. I said we'll make it our goal to be the first batch to complete it in minimum time. That means I have to start work early.
It is easy to get sucked in with the enthusiasm of everyone in the academic field. Right now I'm thinking it is not impossible to even complete my doctorate if I want to. Let's see how thing goes once my Master's class begin in full force and I have training programs to conduct. Hopefully my spirit will not wane. A trainer with Master's degree is common. A trainer with doctorate is a different matter. How does Dr. Sue sound to you? Hehehe... Baru 1st class dah berangan... but like hubby said, berangan tak kena keluar duit :)
Sunflower gives the connotation of cheerfulness, bright, jolly, merry... you get the idea! However, if any content in this blog didn't fit the cheerfulness implied by its name, look at it this way... I'm putting down all the wretchedness, gloom, melancholy feeling in here so I can continue living up to the expectation of making the association to the sunflower.

Underwater Fun
This is the best underwater scenery captured during our recent snorkeling trip in Tioman. It makes me think of fairies and mermaid.
We planned to go diving but it didn't materialize. Our diving instructor was probably too busy under water to pick up our phone call :(
So we did other activities :)
