I would say I was once being offered a EDB scholarship to do a MSc in Japan. All expenses being paid by this Japanese company based in Singapore and it is bond free.[Silence]  Unfortunately, that Japanese man wanted me to do a field that I am uncomfortable with. I told him I could pass the course but not with flying colours. 


This Japanese man has everything arranged with the university - from professor to project etc etc. 😱 All I have to do is to accept it.

Being fresh out from university, I wanted to do some course that I can excel well and not just for the sake of getting a MSc. No doubt, I dream of living in Japan as I love watching "Japan Hour". But the thought of me dragging myself to lecture hall with courses that doesn't interest me, kills my thought immediately.[Happy] [Happy]  

When I reached home, I was grilled by my family members why I turned down such a good offer.[Sweats]  😓 They were not in my shoe hence they were not in a position to understand what a tough course it will be. 

At times when I think back, if I could turn back the clock, I would take up the challenge. Just go for the MSc in Japan for the sake of travelling within Japan and be a fluent Japanese speaking London gal.[Happy] [LOL] [Chuckle] [Grin] [Tongue]  🌸⛩️🎏👘
