There is never a perfect time to start a new course, way of thinking, regime, job, relationship, a family, anything you name it. The timing is now, when the idea pops into your mind. This is how I came across to think about a discipline which I have not been considering for my second master degree.

I got admitted and start the first semester in spring (not many programmes has a second intake in the academic year). Not long ago, I have had my orientation with the teachers and fellow students. And very soon, I will be attending the first lesson.

There is no better time than now going back to school now: 10 years after my tertiary education and the marketing budget has been frozen until further notice. Once I have made the decision and execute it, I can find myself justifying it with multiple reasons to support my right doing. Despite the desire to pursue excellent in academics, I can’t help to compare and contrast the practice and teaching of the two institutes that I am acquainted with: a traditional and reputable university in Hong Kong and a applied research university.

From now on, I’d like to dedicate some entries of this blog to document the learning experience.
