Next stop: National Service

reckon for the next few upcoming days.. guys will be getting their
National Service Enlistment letters.. i've yet to receive mine..
and i did a check at the MIV website.. and it seems like they haven't
decide a date for my enlistment..

for those who already got theirs.. sad to say.. they will be
enlisted around beginning of June.. that's less than 2 months
from now.. all the best to them and hope they can enjoy the
last few weeks of freedom.. before going in green and botak..

as for me.. of cos, i'm going to enjoy my time for now.. before i
get the letter and be a bald man..

checked my school email today.. and there's a mail by one of the
lecturers asking for students, who are interested in Java, to sign
up for Java Certification.. i'm currently considering about it..
and i've got to admit.. looking back at the 3 years of poly
education i had.. the only one module that i've excel constantly
and show keen interest for.. was none other than Java..

"If you are looking at learning more about Java, then this may not
be suitable for you. But if you are looking at attaining a Java
Certification at a 70% discount (list price $259, after 70% -->
$69.93), and go through the process on how you could self-study
for professional certification, then your should sign up for the
program."

this part was extracted from the email.. had a short laugh at it
though.. what a way to sell the Certification.. i was wondering..
does it mean that if i'm bad at Java.. i should not consider about
it at all.. cos i won't be learning more about Java.. and if i'm
having some loose change of $70.. i'm in for a great deal.. haha..

had a quick look at the schedule of the preparation needed for this
certification.. and its going to take around 4-7 weeks.. starting
from next week.. well, in terms of time.. i should be quite free..
in terms of skills required.. i don't mind giving it a try.. even
though i'm only half-bucket full, in terms of Java..

then again.. i was thinking if i'll still have the discipline to
continue with this, especially after my exams.. and reckon i'll be
slacking off immediately after tomorrow when my last paper ends..
and this certification requires quite a lot of self-study from what
i saw in the schedule.. so.... any suggestions?

gotta stop now, last mugging needed to be done..

till then.
