charice the diva

charice pempengco.

i adore this young filipino girl. she's only 16 years old but her voice is superbly powerful and she has a very good showmanship. i was impressed the first time i saw her sing on Oprah's show. she started singing when she was 4 and started participating in lots of competition since she was 7. go check out her videos on youtube. thumbs up!

surprise surprise.

so i quit my masters. yeap u read it right. i quit.

i'm sure the big question is 'why??' kan.

well, it turns out this is not what i wanted to do. plus, when i registered before, i didn't think it thru. i think i decide too fast without thinking what really it is all about. and at that time, i was really just looking for any opportunity for me to just quit my job. bcause i hate it. except for all the good ppl la kan.

so far, i've learned that in chemistry there's several professions. research officers, quality control and formulation chemist. see, i'm more into formulation chemists. what i realize is i'm not into research sgt. or at least not now. it's complicated really. research is more into developing new things from whatever ade on earth ni. i think formulation have to be learned thru the manufacturing process and experience. the rheology, the cleansing properties, the foaming properties, yup these are what i want to learn. senang cite, by working in the industry. i also gonna attend the short courses on formulation at UTM. the masters programme there too kinda relate a bit to formulation. gonna find out more about that too.

i know. by now, ppl will go like, "macam2 la hana ni" or " rugi gile siot". well, i beleive i did the right thing. i'm not gonna waste 2 years doing something i dislike. and i don't see this as giving up as some ppl see it. i see this as choosing my career. if i'm wrong,..well.that's something i don't wanna think about right now. we have choices rite. life is all about trying and experiencing new things anyway.

as for now, jobhunting!! i know right now agak susah seeking for a job. ah well, pikir positive je la. while jobhunting, i read a lot about personal care products. trying to learn about the market and ingredients whatsoever. at least i'm doing something!

my advice to ppl yg terfikir nk amik masters, sile pikir betul2. don't do masters bcuz u don't wanna work. don't do masters bcuz u wanna have masters. don't do masters when u don't have a project in mind. and u gotta have a lot of passion if u wanna do masters. trust me. i've learned my lesson.

till then, wish me luck!
