and today, my parents and i discussed end-of-year programme.if my memory does not fail me, the choices for end-of-year programme are as follows:1) china attachment, or jing-ru.
2) china thing thats not exactly exchange.
3) regional cip - vietnam, india or krabi
4) local cip
5) work experience programme
6) outward bound sabah
7) attachment to various places in new zealand. exchange, basically.
8) stanford university thing over at hwa chong
so basically from the start of the year i've already decided i want to do regional cip. and whee im pretty much set on doing it in vietnam! fun fun. my main reasons are to i dont know. teach myself to be less self-centred? and er, try to pay a few of the debts that i owe the world for being such a lovely place.
my parents were rather intent on getting me to go for an attachment of some sort. especially since im in bsp and all that, but yeah. managed to convince them that attachment is something thats very fun, and meaningful, and educational, and you get loads from it. but its not what i want! i mean, endofyear programme and i go to study some more? like gah lol. but anyways because my parents rawk a lot, they've decided to let me do what i want!
after all, cip is not a common thing and one doesnt get much chance in life to do it. and if i really want to go for attachments and whatnot, there'll be more chances in the future, im sure. and regional cip would completely PWN local cip because i could do that anytime too!
regional cip = $1500 to $2000.china attachments = $2500new zealand attachments = $3500which is another reason i dont want to go for attachments, itll mean extorting too much money from my parents. sigh. although they did say they dont mind and can afford it and all. but thats not the point. of course, some might argue i could stay in singapore and do the $15 work experience programme. but i think work experience is quite...how to say, i dont believe you'll really get to have actual handson experience in that sense. shall wait a few more years for that!
(oh and i can use the extra leftover money for my MARIMBA! no wait im saving for that myself. okay fine the leftover money shall be used for my intensive dizi/sheng/xiao/flute/coranglais lessons during december!)
so vietnam regional cip it is, wootz!
i was green-ed at 8:49 pm
