ur mum is always wiser

turning the time back to late 2005, early 2006
tat time, i just finish my SPM and hunting for Uni/college... all over the place, including Singapore and Australia.

so along the many conversation tat v had... i said i thought of going to Singapore SIM/MDIS, or other uni college in Singapore. of course i had been dying to go to australia for my tertiary education la.... and one of the line tat i remember clearly til today is "if i send u go Singapore, i might as well send u directly to australia, coz both the exchange rate is almost the same(tat time was 2.2/2.3 vs 2.65) not very huge different unlike aus and UK or even euro where it was 4+), just that australia is an additional air ticket there, which i need to fork out twice a year(return).

after 2 year and 7 mths in KL, i am still here... and the exchange rate has been running... the gap of exchange rate between singapore dollar and australian dollar are much closer, and singapore dollar is now higher than australian dollar... therefore, if i had gone to singapore to study,it might have cost more than what i thought... (pissss, my aunt in singapore had asked me to stay with her, if i studied there, and i think i would have grad by now, coz dip ma...)
