I am not only referring to some posters on this forum but also to my youngest cousin who just completed his NS and wanted to go to the U.S. to further his education. I advise him not to.
They do not know all the **** and crap we have to endure to just to get a piece of paper from a foreign land. Unlike those who study locally. You have your parents, relatives and friends close to your access. We have nobody to rely on. We are fighting a lonely battle everyday.
Then why I went overseas then? Simple. Twenty years ago, the education system in this country sucks. You either go to VITB or to some private school if we cannot make the grade. Everybody was thinking of a way out. Those who had stronger financial backing could afford to go to either the US or UK.
Now is different. So why be jealous of me. In fact, I should be the one jealous of you.
