Overseas education

So i just went home, back from my trip to Jakarta. It was a great trip. Everything was smooth, but not as smooth as how I was hoping it to. Well, I bet you've heard of these quotes "Life were full of up's and down's" . I got to admit that it did happen to my life, but let's be grateful that life weren't that harsh for us. So talking about down's,okay..

 So I graduated sec 4 just months ago, June, so I have two options to think about.
 1st - to continue my studies here in SIS until JC2, and after that I will continue my university and after that life on my own. ( It will take around 2 years before I can enter a university )
2nd - to continue my studies somewhere out there. Maybe it will be China.

 So until now I am still holding tight to my second option. Well, it is not officially decided yet but there are interests here. Of course China is famous for all those cheap products, cheap labours, cheap foods, but one thing that interest me most is none other than the language itself. I find it very interesting and I want moree. So I did some research about the college there, and I end up in one called "THE SOUTH CHINA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY" the universities were huge and I am excited.
