<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>However, my boyfriend did things for himself rather than for both of us. In the month of June, something destructive happened to me… The faculty of the university of my first choice rejected me. (the reason for it being my first choice was not because that university was well known for engineering but it was my boyfriend’s only choice of university.) The other university which was better known for engineering had accepted me into that faculty. I struggled, and decided that I should pursue my interest because it would affect my whole life. Telling him what was going on in my mind I thought he would support me. But I was wrong. He went crazy about this. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>“Do you know why I am still in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Singapore</st1:place></st1:country-region> uni? It was all because of you. You did want to go overseas for further education. I wanted to stay with you. And now, you want to go to the different uni... All my effort gone! I put my future in expense and wish that you could stay with me in the same school, yet you waste my effort! ...”</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>I was totally stunned. Yes, I did not want to go overseas because I thought local education was nothing worse that overseas’. Moreover I did not want to impose too much financial burden to my family. He had a more wellbeing family and he could afford overseas school fees and all other expenses. I had told him to go wherever he wanted before both of us sit for the final exam. I sincerely told him that I would always support his decision. Ideals were more important. Yet…he was blaming me for wasting his effort at this moment. I never forced him to stay…</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>Nuts! I had nothing better to say…… perhaps I was the one being selfish. But my selfishness did not come into intervening other people’s decisions, especially those important decisions marking a serious change in one’s life. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>I frowned, turned away, thought that I might break into tears. But no even a little moisture was felt. I looked at him into his eyes and said, “well, I have made my decision. I am choosing where I am going to based on the course offered, but not the school. I would be sorried if I don’t do so.” </FONT></P>
