Education Fair - An 'explained' World of 'possible' Opportunities ...

Today my school had an education fair involving students like me (who is leaving school after SPM) and students older than me (STPMs ........).

Well, I had done researches before regarding the further studies whether in the US, the UK or locally. The thing I lacked is the inquiries about the costs and all sorts of explanation.

I was shocked while standing in front of the hall, not because of girls (I don't adore girls anyway, for now), because I just realised 70+/- booths are for REAL ...

Okay, here's how it goes:
1. I walked into the hall
2. Found a station
3. Asked 'Is there infos about studying IT here?'
4. The person-in-charge (PIC) told me to sit down
5. PIC took his/her brochure
6. PIC explained A LOT to me
7. I asked relevant questions
8. PIC answered the questions
9. Jaw-dropping moment when I listened the fees
10. PIC asked 'Any questions?' + wanted me to write enquiry form
11. I completed enquiry form + 'Thank you.'

Wow, there are like 70+/- booths out there and I estimated I have visited like 20-30 of them ... (pity the PICs that are needed to be hydrated everytime ...)

The PICs are damn nice and I feel comfortable to speak with him/her (although I do not know him/her) regarding further studies. It took me (morning: est. 2h, afternoon: est. 1h) a total of approximately 3 hours to finish what I want to ask and visit ........ (wow, the school should've let us to stay there longer, especially there are 70+/- booths there to ask ...)

Anyway, almost 'all roads lead to Rome' ... even I can summarise it:

SPM --- Cambridge A-Level/South Australian Matriculation/(the other one forgot already) --- Degree
         --- Foundation Classes                                                                                              --- (same)
         --- Diploma                                                                                                              ---  (same)
         --- American Degree Transfer Program
         --- Straight to UK/US

Wow, nice fair, great advices and options on further studies, but I still juggling around it ... HELP ...(I hoped that if my financial is strong enough, 'Imma be party in the USA ...')

The Math and Science Subjects Taught In English Initiative Rejected

I cannot believe I'm back here to do some trash-talking here. I should be siting for that big exam and hoping for the A+ grades to show up on my report card next year. Recent 4 days of the big exam has just made candidates of this exam like me spot some awkward bloopers - did not tell every candidate for the particular pusat that there is a correction on the question which will affect the answers written, invigilators helping students to 'cheat', papers changed set altogether due to the so-called leak, hung questions that does not indicate what actually the question want to ask ...... (and many, many more that I'm damn lazy to list out) Hey, snap it. This is the big exam, and these types of mistakes still occur? If it happened damn seldomly, that can be considered a small blooper, but frequent awkward mistakes will really make this exam look like they just lost their royality as one of the major exams in my country. The (considered, from the point of view of education...

The Scumbug Brain

Disclaimer: 'Brain' is kinda used interchangeably with 'mind', with the operational meaning leaning towards the 'mind'. This post is meant to indicate how contradicting a mind might be, especially when criticising itself (I have no scientific evidence though).It's not well-written, but err ... bear with it, okay? I believe that every single humans have one important organ that basically regulates and controls a lot of things happening physiologically, mentally and psychologically known as the brain (Yup, even the so-called 'no-brainers'). I also do, and probably like a lot of people, I have a pretty weird brain which generates thoughts (whether suppressible or not) in which sometimes we adhere to, felt annoyed to, or even just feeling neutral, letting the thought pass by like clouds. Well, let me try describe my brain (therefore trying to play chess with it, too). It seemed awkward when I'm writing this blog post with the help of the b...

My First Overseas Trip (#5) - San Francisco (Part 2: Airport Encounter)

After we left the custom, we went straight ahead to the baggage claim hall, where we must claim our bags and possibly make a transit baggage transfer for our remaining flights. Since the Cathay Pacific Airlines cannot help us to do the transit (my mom went furious about that, jumping up and down for that case), we had to pull our luggage anywhere we go until the check-in time for the next flight arrives. As we're leaving the baggage claim hall, we were deciding to spend the half-day wisely. We decided to take breakfast first before any activities. We went to the departure terminal from the international terminal. We actually can make it by walking towards the terminal, but we decided to take the airtram anyway. I thought that the climate of the airport was not that freezing (because we felt warm in the airport), but later realised that was an illusion. It's quite damn freezing cold even it's 10.30 am in the morning, as we walked out of the terminal and to the statio...
