Academia talk.
Many months ago, I applied for NTU school of Rajaratnam's Master of Science (Strategy Studies). It was my great hope for it, as i will have a chance to learn modules like 'Special forces', 'Terrorism' and 'Radical muslim motivations for war' etc. Eventually after getting for of my previous lecturers to write in for me, i did not get the place. I was quite pissed during then, emailed the relevent personnel(not to be too obvious) and told him off. There was no reply. I did not know if he had got that email.
A couple of months ago by chance, I applied for Master of Science Communications from NUS in collaboration with ANU(Australia National University). My bet that this is not a course for me, and chances are not high. However applied for fun anyway. There was a correspondent who keep following up with me on the fee of $20 to process the application. After i finally complete the process by mailing the documents and cheque of $20, I got a letter very soon, for being unsuccessful. They tried to eat my money, I feel. Earning this application fee is enough for them.
I applied and Kaplan's National University of Ireland(University College Dublin) Master of Science (Management) a couple of months ago, and a couple of weeks later, I was accepted. Will go for the orientation, collect materials, and attend lessons first.
I took the Cambridge International Diploma for Teachers and Trainers (CIDTT) was initally wanted to clear the pre-requisite for Murdoch's Master of Education by Kaplan, but feel that unless one is a subject matter expect at their specialised degree level, and able to teach, then an MEd will be good for them to further themselves. No point for me to take this now. It will be better, if i have extra money for a Master Degree.
I applied for NIE's Master of Arts (Instructional Design and Technology) many months ago, and recently, I was elated to be offered the course. To affirmed my decision, I emailed to the unit coordinator to check if the cert to be conferred will be under NIE itself, or NTU. The good news was, it will be conferred solely by NTU. It will worth my 2 years of study. However, the trade off will be, i will have to leave my current job soon.
With the 2 years, my focus will be on training for IPPT, reservist, lose up to 5 kg, take more short courses, like photography, creative writing, phonetics, concurrently, if there are enough opportunities during my free time, i will conduct to teach short courses or workshops to kids or teach creative writing, phonetics etc.
I will also go back to my old martial arts Karate, and also if can afford time, money and commitment to, take up Krav Maga.
I will also volunteer for the Assistant Testing Director of my Mensa Society Singapore etc. At times, i will go to the gym, meet my girlfriend, and chat up any old friends, if there are opportunities.
Going to NTU will also be far, so it would takes me around 2 hours on my own travel, or if i drive, will need ard 1.5 hours or lesser to go for my studies from 6pm to 9pm. Let's hope the plan is in mind.
My aim is also to travel to Israel for the Advance Counter-Terrorism and Homeland Security course, for own interest. Also to vist some other middle east country for travel, like Dubai, Abu Dhabu. Other countries will be Japan, Turkey, Italy etc.
My current colleague wanted to go to south Korea for some trekking tour. If i have enough finance, i will join him.
If i could lower down myself a little, may visit my old security friends by working some security assignments, and go for some carefes job with Mediacorp, like I did.
My Intercept Academy organisation I hope, will re-open again one day.
I would say that i am 文武双拳双. Haha, to have attained up to a high qualification, and had a black belt in karate previously is the best of both world. :)

Back from China from 22 Oct to 30 Oct 2011. Was great to re-vist there once again. The first objective is to follow my mother and grandmother for relatives' visits, then rest and relax will come in play.
Went to Xiamen, then Raoping line at Teo Chew city for a night, before visitng the village ( there. Most of them are down there (Fuo Shan Zhen, Jun Pu Chun). Not much changes. Many kids had grown up, while most of the thing there are still the same. We went back Raoping for dinner. Alot of stalls offer dog meat and lamb. Then we headed to Swatou, and stayed the other night. Safety not that good, that was what we heard. However, roads and shops are bound to have. We then headed to Quanzhou, a city cheap in goods and services, good for business opportunities there to embark with. Then you can spent the money at Xiamen, a bustling city as nice as Singapore, but with expensive things and properties. From there we stayed 3 nights at Fujian Province, Anxi, where my grand father's side lives. Our granduncle and his wife passed away, so now left an empty rock house at the mountain top. Visiting there now and 14 years ago was so different. Was so lively with teens 14 years ago, now most of them grown up and started their family, work or got married to other cities. Very soon, the mountain (Peng Lai Zhen, Peng Ge Chun) will diminish to the extent that the old house will be preserved by their younger generations, and back on only special occassion. Who knows, it may become a heritate area in a couple of centuries time? There are still 3 houses when my china uncles and their family lives in the mountain top. One of them has been operating his show and keys making business at Xiamen for years. Eventually we went back to Xiamen for the last night, and i had initiated to visit the 2nd uncle who is doing his key making business.
It is also an open secret to be working in the government side that corruptions is inevitable. Therefore priviledges and high earning is no suprise to anyone who got into jobs related to the government sector there.
As for food, my comment is that most of the food are oily, with the element of Lards are being use. However, with china's natural food resources, their food are no doubt much fresher than ours in Singapore. And fish and seafood are vast, while pork and duck are their popular food. As for chicken, I hardly has a chance to see. What curbs the fats, oil, and cholestrols? Their habitual way of drinking teas in china. Almost practically, all household has a tea set with big trays for water to be poured onto the wide tray. As for our Anxi, the root of the 'Tie Kuan Yin' tea, they have the best production and grade for the tea.
There were many more dramas and happenings during the 8 nights, 9 days trip. But to summarize overall, it is a fruitful and wonder trip. Cheers.

Kenray
