Looks like pika needs to go back to school to learn spelling.

Imagine this:
CFO of a MNC making an annual 6 figure salary, driving a Merc and living in a penthouse.
Now imagine another scenario:
A 46 year old balding man, sitting in front of the computer and crapping in sgforums 24/7 eating bread and drinking plain water everyday.
Haiz, if only we could turn back time.

aiya, but from the other side, maybe u sian of study and working
everything will eventually work out in the end, just remember this bro
u now still can finish ns, and then get a diploma, or so on
and when in ns, try to chiong for higher pay, like command school
not everything in this world needs an academic cert to earn cash
use ur creativity, who knows, u might even made it bigger than us here
there are no right and wrong choices, but never sway from ur decision, go with it all the way to the end
and supper soon bro, we need to catch up, maybe u can tell me more about it
Even tho blur, but have high hopes that you get into OCS hor!!!
To Pika : Oh ya... btw, even in National Service, to be an officer, you need to have at least an 'A' lvl or a diploma. Well... such is life

Well, I've read through the 3 pages and I'm rather amused.
Not meaning to be rude, mate. But do you have any idea how deluded you sound?
I don't know the underlying reason for the withdrawal, but truth is... What hard path did you choose to walk? All you did was back away from a fight.
Complete NS and my thinking will change in there? Do you even buy that?
No regrets, you know what shit awaits you. Wait till you've a family and you're earning that 1k a month, then you will really know for sure that shit awaits you. It's the same vicious cycle and education is your one way ticket to get out of it.
You believe you can make it? Make what? Make cake? Faith without works is dead, talk without action is just talk. You can keep believing but fact is.. you're steering off course..
Fortunately, you still have the gift of youth to right whatever bad decisions you've made. But as you get older, life's penalties get heavier. Hopefully, after NS you will really seng mok, if not shit really awaits you.
Human life is short and precious, hope you will make the best out of it.
*yawn*
Detach, you are the last one i will hear your advice no matter how much sense it makes...I don't even bother to read what you type.

I'll be blunt about this: I am very, very sick and tired of people who have romantic notions over quitting higher education and pointing to Bill Gates as a (cliched) example.
Let me just say this: Bill Gates is an exception, and thousands of Tan Ah Kows and John Smiths who followed his example have burnt and gone kaput in the process.
Pika: regardless of what you may say, no, trust me, you know nothing about the consequences of your actions. You have not thought about it thoroughly. You did not consider your alternatives and options properly. I thought I told you to talk it out with your academic mentor who can surely help you work through your issues. In the worst case scenario, you could have taken a semester off to work things out. Almost anything would have been better than just quitting.
Like both soleachip and detached have pointed out, you don't even seem to have an exit strategy right now. Despite whatever romantic notions that you have about walking 'the long and hard path', the fact is that all you did was to walk off the straight and narrow path, with no firm idea of what on earth you're gonna do next.
I'm really trying my best not to nag at you, but I've seen what happened to my cousins who became the wrong sort of PhDs (poly-halfway-dropouts). Long story short, one of them eventually got tossed in the brig over gangfights.
I'm not saying that that will be your future. What I'm saying is that I don't want to see anyone else wilfully throwing away a promising future.
'Nuff said. I know that nothing I do can make you rescind your letter of withdrawal. But I do hope you will eventually wake up your ideas - sooner better than later.
This is my last posting on this matter.
I've talked to my lecturers...
I've talked to my parents...Both side ask me to go NS first...
-
If that is what you want, proceed lor... dun care about what the others said about it. But if you dun want, you should not had quited.
-
Thanks fudgester thanks chip...
Nah you guys are not naggy at all... You guys just care for me i know...

I think I have made myself very clear the last time we spoke. If this is the way u wanna do things, alright. Don't ever regret it. You jolly well know what is coming your way if you quit school, but you still wanna walk the hard way.
There are so many ppl sharing their experiences about tetiary education, and I have shared mine too. If after seeing all these responses and you really have thought hard about it, including weighing the pros and cons, I don't think you would have made this decision. Since it's not the money, I don't understand why you want to quit? If it's the course, I think you still can appeal to change course.
I cannot ask you to undo the decision. But this is the last time I'm telling/advising you this: THINK THOROUGHLY. Your decision does not only affect you, it will cause repercussions in the future or to those around you.
Haiz I plan to meet you up to talk with you de... To let you understand why did I choose this path...
Both my lecturers and parents didn't ask me to quit for no reason...

and i apologise if my words were hurtful yesterday. i know what u're facing. i think i know how u're feeling, but...nevermind now.
when the dust settles, take a long hard look at what u'll eventually pursue, make solid plans and go after it.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it...
*hugs*
i don't really know what else to say. hence this is also my last post on this thread.

think u make the rite decision
always read in paper abt kids not being able to cope with schoolwork
den they go comitt suicide, really not worth it
-
education is important,
but education does not stop with paper qualifications
but sadly, paper qualifications are usually a benchmark used to mark what standard a person is.
on the other hand, clear ur NS obligation asap,
n stay strong. if u dun have qualification, please ensure that you have the skills/knowledge and connections.
-
go NS and figure out what course you want to take. Best is go straight to university overseas.

Pitying or self pitying doesn't change me or change the fact...
Luck don't always last...^^
