Surprises!!

I’m suffering from a headache. Since 10.30 am, I had been reading the Bursary policy for almost 2 hours, which infuriated me seriously. After hours of discussion with my Nanny Stella, it turned that we had so many questions yet to be answered and we were rather blur with the policy. I called MOE out of frustration. The person-in-charge was very NOT INFORMATIVE! He couldn’t even answer my basic questions and dared to put my phone on hold for about 15 minutes, in which eventually my phone credit was deducted RM8. URGH!!! So in the end, I wrote a long email to MOE, keeping my fingers crossed my email would not be left unattended. I waited for all day long and yet there was no reply. I guessed it was Monday Blues, after all.

My mom called a medical houseman just now regarding his working hours, since it had been quite an issue after the recent death of a houseman due to the alleged use of drug. Anyway, he said that the issue of working hour was not as serious as the newspaper described. To my surprise, he is studying in USM on his own fund without any scholarship though he got the top results. Of course the course fee is staggeringly cheaper than in private university, so he suggested me trying to apply for loan if I were to put my foot on IPTA. Having my MBBS done in local is advisable for students who don’t have the budget. I hate to say, he is damn right. I’m not thinking of National Scholarship anymore, just apply for it and see what I get. But most importantly, I must get my email replied tomorrow!!!

I’m still torn between STPM and A Level. Matriculation is out of my list already, since I realised that I put Labuan as my first choice. Actually when I filled in the application form last year, I thought Labuan was in KL. So a few days ago, when my mom saw the printed form, she took me to task for returning all my basic Geography knowledge to teacher. Well, sad to say, I don’t like him at all. Nevertheless, even if I got the offer (I’m pretty sure I will get the first choice with my result), I will have to turn it down. This is because I found out that Kolej Matrikulasi Sabah has an ongoing and serious water crisis, as described by the people in internet, not forgetting to mention how smelly would the students be in the dorm. For me, I can’t tolerate with smell of sweating or even unflushed toilet. Only just a thought of them makes me want to throw up, ad nauseam! I’m so regret for not checking the form gingerly!

Actually I’m thinking to leave the 5S1 group. I always wonder why there are some fellows who like to post nonsense on the wall, unaware that what they wrote actually reflected their way of thinking. One word, SILLY.

Today, my friend Kee went to Kompas International University to study Accounting. Hopefully he can pull it through and be successful in his life. He wants it as bad as I do.

I ‘d really want to see how many people will be going to Taylor’s since bursary is offered. However, the amount remains unknown. It’d be fun if MOE gives us any more surprises! Seriously, I start to think this way; Our almighty Government is not Santa Claus! So don’t expect to receive presents even though it is Christmas time. Government owes us nothing and so we shouldn’t clamour for more and more. Especially when I saw the news of Pakatan Rakyat, leaded by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, trying to write off PTPTN loan scheme and be replaced with a free tertiary education, I think it is a sheer absurdity. It is just a lame excuse for those blacklisted getting away with the debt. It is incumbent upon us to repay after we apply for a loan. Otherwise, what makes the difference between getting a loan and scholarship? Be it the wish of the blacklisted to get away with their debts, the hopes of Malaysians to obtain a totally free education from cradle to grave, the tactics of political party to woo the electorates nationwide by writing a bounce cheque and so on, I hope that when it comes to Education, no one should misuse it for other disoriented purposes, as education itself is part and parcel of a nation’s economic, social, and intellectual development. An unintended mistake made can annihilate the whole country. What brings up a man, capable of shaping his ability, mentality and nobility?
