Where do I go after this?
Friday, September 28, 2007
Ok, I see that registration to the different institutions are opening. I have two in mind, Al-Zuhri Institution and Andalus Centre. Each has its own set of pros and cons. My heart tells me that Andalus would make a better choice... (Ok, the sentence sounds like it has a BUT after it, but I don't know what that 'but' should entail haha.)
Ok, Andalus provides part-time DPI (Diploma Pendidikan Islam) whereas Zuhri's part-time program is SPU (Sijil Pendidikan Ugama) for my qualifications (after I complete my Sec 4 at Perdaus la). Obviously, diploma is better than just a cert. Zuhri provides Diploma program as well, BUT firstly, it is a full-time program AND for my qualification, I will have to go through a pre-diploma, which is also full-time by the way(-> have to wait till I finish my poly... Then what happens to my secular studies?). Zuhri caters more to students graduating from full-time madrasah, not part-time madrasah where I come from so yeah...
Andalus offers Bahasa Arab, which I've always had interest in though I'm not fluent in it at all (stakat yg simple2 nye je bolehlah) whereas Zuhri doesn't (I'm talking about SPU). And Andalus also offers Sains Islam , and well... I'm currently taking a Science course in poly anyway right... Below is the list of subjects offered...
Andalus 06/07 intake:

Hmm... Hmm... Hmm...
Then... Andalus' monthly fees is $75 as stated in the website (if I'm not mistaken it was stated as $77 in BH) whereas Zuhri's is $70. The period of study is 4 years for DPI in Andalus and 2 years for SPU in Zuhri. But, there is an Andalus centre offering DPI at Tampines whereas I have to travel all the way to Changi Road if I were to attend Zuhri.
Alternatively, I could wait till I complete my diploma, which is in another 1 1/2 years more, ending in April 2009, then proceed to take pra-diploma and then diploma at Zuhri. (It is stated that I can take the modules part-time but I'd only get a cert just like taking SPU) THAT would open doors of opportunities for me to study at Universiti Islam Antarabangsa, Kolej Universiti Islam Malaysia, Insaniah, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa, Universiti Putra Malaysia if I decide to pursue that dream. I would complete pra-diploma and diploma only after 2+3=5years at Zuhri, which means I'll graduate in 2014 (insyaAllah kalau umur panjang ye)! And the fees... Gonna make my dad scream lol.

Sounds interesting right? But where do I fit my Biotech diploma (when I get it)? Throw it out the window?
Hmm... Hmm... Hmm...
All this brings down to one question... What do I wanna be when I grow (even more) up? (<-betul2 soalan cepumas nii) Only then can I truly decide what's best.
Ok, before I decide all this what nots, I need to finish up my madrasah projects, which are due this Sunday by the way! Yikes! If I don't get through Sec 4, no use cracking my brain over where to go to 'next' haha.
Kla, let me end this post. But before that, where will I be this weekend?
Today: iftar at Perdaus Bedok
Saturday: Meet at Chai Chee regarding NI BTF Iftar (morn) & insyaAllah Qiyam at Masjid Al-Kaff (nite)
Sunday: Madrasah project due! (morn) & NI BTF Iftar work-meet (aftnn)
Ok, tataz all!
