Choice 1
stay in Singapore
save mummy & papa a lot of money
no problems with the braces
get back with You Yi
finish up SMU in a year & a half
graduate with double major in Econ & Finance (& hopefully magna cum laude)
work for 2-3 years
do a Masters in something or other
get a better job
get married
have kids
blah blah blah for the rest of my life

Choice 2
transfer to UVA
MAYBE get together with yixian (i'm still... uncertain... about this..)
graduate in 1.5-2 years
work in NY with one heckuva paycheck :P
do Masters in US (pay my way please)
... not sure what will happen after this :p

So it all boils down to... do i want to be safe and secure? Live an average singaporean lifestyle for the rest of my life?

Or...

Do i want to take chances, invest in uncertainty for what might be a higher payoff in future?

I never was a very big risk-taker... But this is a choice of a lifetime!

I'm in a limbo now... Transfer application results are released May 1st. I really really want to get in, but the risk-averse part of me (and the part which doesn't like to make decisions) hopes that I won't so my path would be decided for me.
But I want this. Although getting in would make the rest of my life one huge question mark, its also the fulfillment of my childhood dreams... study in america, work here & earn big money... true its not quite the same (eg. i'm at UVA & not Harvard :p) and my motivations have changed (earning money to live luxuriously by myself --> earning to support my parents, take care of my sister and start a family) but I've always wanted this...

I don't know... I don't know...
