Are you thinking of taking a degree for the skills or career prospects?

bump, for now i jus seek a cert fast as my age

Your age is not the problem.
Your clarity on your interest and where you want your career to go is.
Sleep on it, answer the 2 questions and hardwarezone will be better equipped to give you a better opinion :s12:

Since you are looking for honours.
You can throw out your option SIMGE UOW, it is a basic degree when studied in sg.

Have you seek your company's support for your "seek a cert fast" endeavour?
It is important that your company supports your decision and are planning to expand their graduate-level spots, or else you will just be another uni graduate without any graduate-level job-scope/pay in the company.

You may want to find out from your colleagues on which uni they studied for their degree and what major. This will give you a gist of what your company is looking for.

Have you talk to your manager or whoever that is in-charge of promotion/pay-raise on what are the requirements to qualify for promotion/pay-raise?
And seek their advice on your performance and how far away are you from that requirement.
It will be good to also know what qualifications your manager have, so you can plan accordingly.

Have those 2 colleagues who studied at kaplan and quit, found jobs of better prospects?

Here I suggest you take the following 2 part-time options (honours) into your consideration,
UniSIM IT and Business - http://www.unisim.edu.sg/programmes/programme-details/Pages/BSc-IT-and-Business-(ERP).aspx
NTU Computer Science - http://www.ntu.edu.sg/ope/PTProgrammes/Pages/index.aspx

If you intend to go to any private institution, I suggest you take note of these 8 points,
