On the other hand, i would like to take up part time studies. but i need to do night shift =( how???
What do you guys think? Is the pay very low???
if i want work for 1.5 years to gain working experience and i want to job hop. how much salary can i ask for with 1.5 yrs working experience???

You do not have much choice if this is the best (or only) offer you got after months of searching.
Work hard and aim for good increments (10% is generally considered good). When hopping to the next job, ask for 15% to 20% more than your last drawn salary. Be careful when comparing salary packages - always include all the cash for the entire year, i.e. add up all the base pay, bonuses and cash perks such as transport / meal / spectacle allowances.
