Back on earth

Dear and I almost had an argument the other day when he said to me "You take things at surface value only....." and I got so pissed off. I didn't say much in retaliation because I know I would say things that I'll regret later and probably lose to him in content-wise anyway.

Anyway, back to earth. Think I shld spend my money on something like taking up part-time studies than change my car. I've been surfing through NUS and NTU's website on MBA programmes. It juz makes me feel like I'm not on my own turf when I look at the curriculum. Argh! I told myself that I can't take the easy way out all the time and go for things in my comfort zone. I've more or less decided on taking up MBA and that shld be it...

This kinds of like makes me shudder a bit...

Oh ya. Both NUS and NTU require the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). Jialat. I hate tests like these. Will definitely flunk the mathematical part at least. Juz went through some of the sample qns as well. I realised that I haven't used my brain to decipher passages for a long time! Gosh...brain is definitely decaying. Need to work on it.
