            <description>Gotta turn into 21 years old in few weeks time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wanna go &lt;b&gt;Melbourne&lt;/b&gt; to amend broken relationship with my divorced 50+ years old father that stay and work as an illegal immigrant &amp;amp; fishmonger alone for more a decade. He still support my family... stupidly without the knowledge that my whore mother (sorry mum.. that&amp;#39;s fact) had already divorced with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up to my knowing, he worked arse for me, his youngest child and other siblings... and up till these days, we haven&amp;#39;t visit him once in this 10 years+. While we live lavishly with the money he sent into to us in this fucked up land, he had no savings for himself and still stay in loyal to my mother. Anticipate that his children will be successful, but in fact, it was otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With my recent mental breakdown and severe case of depression, I have finally decided to halt with my studies which I have no motivation with and depart to OZ ASAP to assist my father, without my mother&amp;#39;s acknowledgement. But to avoid impulsive decision, I figured out that I need a better plan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I could humbly asking your fellows your view of perspective (even the harsh ones), here&amp;#39;s some of my plans that I wonder if you guys could see as appropriate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plan (A) - Sign up for Work and Holiday (subclass 462), and try luck to be assigned to Melbourne which seems to be too good to true. But worth a try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plan (B) - Continue my studies but choose a different course that aiming for getting a working VISA in OZ. If so, I could ask what would be the jobs you guys could recommend?? Maybe any idea that what are the current skill shortage in Australia?? A course and plan that&amp;#39;s specially crafted to fit in my current situation, as I just want to go Melbourne to stay with my father but also not to be a burden or leech to him. Time is at my essence. &lt;!--emo&amp;:(--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plan &amp;copy; - The last option which I don&amp;#39;t favour the most. Impulsively flying over to OZ and walk the same way like my father. Live in the present, work as some blue-collars and maybe eventually walk my father&amp;#39;s way as an illegal immigrant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please let me know how you guys think. THANKS&amp;#33;&amp;#33; Could really appreciate for those who can provide some of your personal insights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*I gotta have 2 exam papers to deal 2moro.. Might not able to reply in first minute. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please pray for my performance in exam hall tomorrow and current dire situation. Thank you and may God bless you all&amp;#33;&amp;#33;</description>
