tertiary education

teng went for a 3days trip for Interact Club, for the first 2days, me nad my parents went to 2 different open day at KBU and UCSI. I've also applied for 2 scholaships, the ASEAN and UNITEN's AJL. I'm not applying for Star Edu Fund anymore cause Mi said it needs too many details for example household expenses (had to filled in gategories like water bill, rent, education expenses and etc.)

Now that I've made up my mind, these are my current position.
1st choice: UNITENs AJL for a chance to study in Uniten and Japan.
2nd choice: ASEAN which I'm not sure if I can pass the interview phase if I really get in the "first shortlist"
3rd: KBU which I can feel that the lecturers there are dedicated teachers. If I get in there, I'll get 100% tuition fees waiver and only have to pay rm1120 excluding accomadation la. The intake (foundation+3yr degree) in KBU is Apr and July. There will be problems if I get in by either intakes because my family have plans and have to travel by these dates. Anyway, I can always abcent from calsses.

I really really really wanted to get Uniten's AJL. Now I'm just waiting for the days after 24 Mac (dateline for it's application). My form was send through e-mail and I asked for reply to make sure they do recieve my form. It's this Evelyn that's always replying (I send a enquire to them before) and Evelyn have replied for she had recieve my application form. You know what they say about 'Law of Attraction'? Well, I did use it in my spm and I really get what I want: 9As. Now, I'm going to use 'the attraction' to get this AJL.... wish me luck

ps. Pa had fever yesterday. Hope he'll get well soon

a little stress-out

is it between a good photo or not?

I've been busy these days with this application and that application. Getting stuff ready is kind of stressful cause I'm not sure of all sort of things.

source of enquire: Pa and Ma

mum has been asking me to take a new photo for these applications cause she thinks it's the first impression that counts and I wasn't smiling in the old photo I have right now. These guys, they got a lot of applicants and once they think that you're 'yong sui', the minute you know it, the forms are already in the bin. In my opinion, mum has her points but that's not the only thing they see, right? Don't all my excellent school record count. But, I'll be taking a photo anyway just to legakan hati sikit.

dad helps me but sometimes, I just don't agree with him. Dah print so much digital photos, then the Uniten ask for 4 copies of photo pun nak suruh org pakai photocopy of the real photos. Memang kedekut. If that's the case, why are we printing so much of colored photos?

haiz...

rare

it's really rare that someone could get me on my nerves ... for that, I'm giving him a credit.

him= my driving instructor.

Not only that he's speaking with a blur (i have to focus quite hard to understand every sentences of him), he always talk in a blaming and frustrating mood. So rude like his wife, no wonder they are married to each other.

today is only my second drive, can't he give a bit more time for me to sesuaikan diri with the clutch and stuff. It's only the second time I'm practicing to park, and you expect me to remember everything.. mestilah ada kelam-kabutnya , it's your job to teach me well... not teach me in 10 minutes.

Every time he gets on my nerve I can only say "mmm.. " and nought in agreement. This guy memang kepala angin man! One second he's frustrated saying "I already told you this that this that..", the next he's cool and talking in good guy mood. And that makes me the loser because he's not losing anything while I got affected so easily. Some times I just wish I can scold him or something. Well, i did scold him a little today..

During first practice, after parking, he asked me to loosen the clutch. I didn't what he wanted to do, thought we were just practicing slow speed then I stop the car. He scold "what are you doing? I didn't ask you to tekan clutch pun!". So I say "I didn't know what you want to do, where you want to go!" Then, my rational came back. I stop talking.

Can't stand this guy! haiz..

in the middle of a junction now

lately, i've been busy and stess-out trying to search for any possible scholarships that i may apply. I mentioned in facebook that i was targeting for oversea scholarship to get a 'more valuable' cert of degree. Turns out, most of them are only eligible for STPM (or any kelayakan that's equivalent) holders only. It's a difficult junction of my life.

Now, i have 2 options, study locally with my spm and get some discounts in tuition fees; take stpm so that i'm more eligible to apply oversea scholarships. And I chose...... to wait for spm results and then search for any possible scholarship. Browsing for scholarship is such a stressful work, if only someone can do it for me.^^

There's another dilemma now, my parents are worried about my choice of course to study, that is graphic design. They say the possible jobs are too narrow, unless you're in an established company like Disney or Pixar, the things you do are just that.

To find some motivation, i'm now reading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey, hoping to find some direction in this challenging time. I'm sure of what I want, it's just that I'm quite confuse of which way to go from this point.

I really hope to get more than just a cert when i finish studying tertiary education. One day when I'm looking for a job, my resume and qualification will be more outstanding than the others.

Fortune Teller

almost every time we're back in Taiping, my mum will pay a visit to the 'fortune teller's house. As far as i know, everyone has some dept or halangan in their life. In order to solve that, there're rituals to be done. Think that's why my mum keep going there to do these stuff. This year, she went to ask about my 'life'.

When she came back, she gave me a piece of paper and explain what she was told.

Mum: you're born at the top part of a tree (leaves), that symbolizes you are a indecisive person. You're born under the claws of a dragon, at the tail of a tiger. You're suitable for travels, do not have the luck to study. You have the luck of fortune in a durian runtuh way. (偏财）You're quiet but fierce. During your past life, you were a member of the Chinese royal family. You helped people in the Huang Ho, brought a lot of alcohol, clothes and money to this life. You're able to keep your money= does not depend on your husband. Between graphic designer and lawyer, graphic designer suits you more. The reason why you're not suitable to become a lawyer is because you're not teguh enough to tegakkan keadilan. You're not able to fight for your clent when you know that your client is the bad guy, but you can study law in other field like as a lecturer or something.

first myth: I cant study

2nd myth: I'm suitable for travelling.. (I can easily get motion sickness 1 leh)

I had a great time

it's chinese new year 2010. Me and my family went back to our kampung-- Taiping, Perak.

At first, I was quite frus' upon getting the news from mami that we ARE going back. Then I start showing 'black face'. Everyone keep asking me what's wrong but I refuse to tell them the truth cause that will ruin the mood. Keep having 'pms' these few days but I don't take it out on people.. so, I drank water to distract myself (also to 'kut' all my words of anger into my stomach), and finally I spoke.. "so full".^^

I'm glad that this time we, cousins, get to play judi and hang out together, it gives me a feeling like we're siblings.. Everywhere is pack during this festive seasons, the high ways, malls, our dining table (pack with more than 10 dishes), the living room of our gathering place (ah po's house), nak cari tempat duduk pun susah.. It was full house when the movie Ip Man was showing on channel 311 that night, me and YeeLeng terpaksalah masuk bilik tengok 'tv with snow'.

This is the season I love the most, cny tv shows, movies, junk food, cleaning, all the adat resam.. and the best of all, relatives, family coming together to have a great time!!

boring topic.. no need to read

since the day I'd set the poll for people to vote, I've been eager to know the responds.... online everyday to check the poll. Nasib baik on the last few days there's something to distract me- tuition.

After the trip to Taylor's, me and my family got back by 5pm. By 6pm, me and Pa went out to 'long' some templates. I'm giving tuition to the neighborhood's kids to earn some money, while waiting for SPM result.

We jalan kaki to every street in our taman, damp tiring oh.. Once in a while when we approach some houses with dogs in it, we tend to got bark at... kesianlah aku, can't they stop barking? But it's ok leh, I know they were just trying to protect their tuan punya rumah...

Anyway, the hard part's done. Now, we just have to wait for people to call and register.
