seeking my future..

the future awaits. how things are going to be like one year down the road? in fact, how are things going to be when i return back to Singapore? it's been a long while away from home. 3 months. i wonder how much things have changed.. i wonder how much my home has changed.. i wonder how much my friends have changed.. sure, i do still keep in close contact with some of them but i wonder what it would be like 'intruding' back into their lives.. i miss home-cooked food - though i may not say the same a month from now.. *grinz =p*

looking at grad schools in US that offer courses in education. i really wonder how i'm going to afford to pay the tuition fees. it ranges from USD$30k to 54k, depending on the college. sigh. that's pretty stressing.. considering i still have a younger brother who will be going to college in 2 years', after NS (national service). should i work first so that i can support myself or study first & worry later when i've gotten my master's so that securing a job will also allow me to help finance my brother's education? then again, it sounds so scary that i wanna further my studies.. i'm not exactly what anyone would term as 'study/nerd' type. as someone (from MIT) puts it, i'm the 'leader' type. whatever that means. hahaha.. anyone care to sponsor part of my education?? =p
