Thought basket

It has been decided….its not hypothetical anymore..the next four years of my oh so awesome life (herm…i wonder…) will be spent in Perak..Tronoh to be exact…after much thought (well, not so much actually) i have decided UTP is the place im going…ive dreamt of going there before when i was in form five…but after twice applying( one for the january intake, and one after SPM results were announced) and twice turned down, i have somwhat lost interes in pursuing my studies there..but hey, it seems that my ‘rezeki’ is till there…but, it is without shcholarship from Petronas…dangit..i wanted to be as rich as my brother…woe is me….

something that has been lingering in my mind lately is that some of the people at UTP seem to think that they are in TORONTO..yeah yeah, i know, TRONOH and ToRontO does sound alike…but hey, who are they trying to fool…and i heard somthing of a Paris and Gotham CIty nearby…whoa, what a mind job id say..

u know what i really think, i think that this whole ‘name a country thats sound like our area’ thing is just a mind set that the students and the lecturers have..it sorts of puts them in a state of denial, eluding them from the fact that they are actually in the middle of nowhere…They would rather think that they are somwhere in canada than being in no mans land…Wake UP PeOple!!!…For Gods sake…where is the love for out country…isnt there the Malaysia Boleh and whatnot slogan…yes, i must agree that our climate is not very condusive for studying, it being hot and humid here…but longing and fooling ourselves that were in a frech territory is not the way to go..no siree bob..

by the end of July, two of us will be doing out tertiary education..me and my brother…he’s going to New Zealand under Petronas sponsorship…ill be here in luvly (what???…i do love my country lah) Malaysia…oh ho..hey, mayb ill get to go on holiday someday in NZ….home of the Rugby….
" Elo mate; rugby’s our religion.."
imagine how that would be like….

so enuff for tonite…save the venting for another day….just in case i run out..hahahahahahaha

The day ive been waiting for has finally arrived..Today the results for the University placement came out..camt sleep the whole nite yesterday thinking where i was going to continue my student life..damn..even caused me stomach cramps…but hey, today my wait is over..

after much internet surfing and looking, i finally found out that i was sucessful in securing a place at UKM under the engineering faculty..i found out not from the Ministry of Education website, but from the UUM’s website..strange izzit not..as of this moment, the offifial EMOE site is still unusable..WTF!!…i mean, they are the official site..so at lest get the servers online on time..what the hell were they doing?….i mean, a lot of people are going to log onto the website to find that its still down and they are going to cuss…yeah of course you could chech it through sms, but it so damn slow..had to wait for about ten minutes to get a reply…

so anyway, now i know, and truthfully, ive never been happier..although ukm was my second choice, i dont care..so long as its not UMS or UNIMAS..and as long as i got the course that i wanted…herm, electrical and electronic, mayb ill grow up to work for SOny..hahahahaha..dream on suckers…hahahaha…

another thing that got me worked up is that i also got an offer from UTP..yesh!!!…my three day interview was not wasted…hahaha..im so happy..T~T…feel like jumping around like a maniac…fuhhh,keep calm,fuuhh…and so now im left with a decision..which U should i enter…UKM is so close to home while UTP has great facilities…damn…tough decision making ere…huarghhhh…..have to discuss it wif da family first…see what they have to say about it…

all i can write for now..have to call ma friends to c where they get…

hahahahahhaha

so on the first day of the three day stint, there was an ice breakin session..so okay..im used to this kind of stuff…but this time its different..it was actually quite fun..maybe bcoz of the mind set this time round was different..everyone was quite talkative and i find that it was quite easy to mingle..phew..before i had though that the activity was going to be a bore..you know..everyone silent and keeping to themselves…………….later that night, we had another session called ‘lost at sea’..basically the activity was about ranking items 1 thru 15, which items would compliment to your survival if you were shipwrecked at sea..we then had to explain why the items were ranked as they were to the other, resulting in some friendly fire from the other…sort of an inaugural debate championship…..after much hullabaloo, we found out that my team had the highest survival rate…HAHAHAHA…was surpassing other groups who definitely would’ve died at sea….

the second day we had talks on our careeer option and what our future would be like if we were to succeed with our chosen paths….it was quite interesting at first, but then after bout an hour, is was a drag…i personally didnt pay attention the last half an hour…busy daydreaming and talking wif a college mates at the back…silly you might think…but hey…thats me..

on the last day, there was the assesement test..upon entering, the officials handed out papers which consisted our case study..my group was supposed to talk about genetically modified food of GM food…so okay..its a relief coz ive been to a talk on biotechnology when i was in form four…so i had a rough idea on what to talk about…mayb lady luck was on my side…hihiih…the individual session went well….much better than my JPA interview a year ago..the group session was a bit off..it was supposed to last about 40 minutes but it only went on for about 15…i dunno…mayb it was boring for  the interviewers..but i noticed that the interviewers didnt take any notes down while the group was discussing………i dunno what that is all about…….

so now im hoping for the best….hope i get the admission letter…just to prove that im marketable and worth a shot at studying there……

fuuh, just came back from the UTP interview in Perak..it spans over a three day period but the actual interview, or assesement happened only on the third day. the two days before were filled with activities and talks, supposedly to stimulate you and prepare u for the assesement…this was my first time going to UTP..ive only heard it from my seniors and from pictures in the papers..what struck me first when i arrived was the building..whoa, in the papers, there was always the picture of the round shape building..however, actually it is only a small part of the actial campus…what people see in the picture is the palm oil fields surrounding the place…acres and acres of it.. its not that im putting down the university…the university is quite good with great facilities..what i dont like is the surrounding area…its in the middle of nowhere..on the way there, all that i could see through the car window was rolling hills, rock faces and the occasional waterfall..but hey, if i get to study there, id definitely go…it is, a very cool place to be..

some more later…

venting, venting, venting…this is all i ever do these days…sigh

fuuhh…just came back from a week in Kelantan…ma uncle just got married and i was sent back to help with the movin of the furniture…damn..luckily it wasnt that much though…haha..went back to ma old skool the other day to take ma spm cert..whoa, has it changed…it felt like only yesterday i was walking down the corridors of the school in ma uniform…ahh..those were some pretty interesting times…what shocked me the most about the school was that there is now a cyber cafe within the compound..damn, why didnt they bulid it during my time…well,i guess it was for the best..if it was built durin ma time, i doubt that i would be studying for ma exams…hahahaha…im such a slacker..damn

got interview for utp dis week…it all the way at tronoh…why couldnt they do it somewhere closer..now i have to drive all the way to perak to attend an admission interview which i still doubt that i will get….i mean, if i dont get admitted, doesnt that mean my drive all the way to perak was a waste?????….yeah, thats what i thought…sh*t…this is making me more nervous…NOOOOOOOO….plus its for three freakin days…whut the ‘ell???….it more of a camp than an interview…personally speaking, i have had enough of these camps and whatnots….i hate them LDKs, them icebreakin sessions and other activities in that area…im full of it…yeah thats right…FULL OF IT…hahahahaha

so, got to pack…sure hope this goes well…arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
