It has been a long time since my last blogging in a few years back. Well, now I'm back!:) Thanks for opening my blog...Thank you so much I know it's boring... But be patient :)
A few months ago, I am sure most of the SPM 2010 candidates were so excited when the result announcement was around the corner. On 23rd of March 2011, my first reaction when my result was infront of me was HUH? I lost hope and wanted to give up in applying for JPA Scholarship. My relatives and friends asked me to apply although everyone knew that I would not get it. So I applied and OF COURSE I got the interview and went there to have fun.
Soon after that I realised I cannot get into Kolej Matrikulasi. I appealed and really really hope I will get it after the appeal. Before the result was announced, I went to form 6. I realised life in form 6 did not suit me. I couldn't get used to the form 6 life. I got a phone call from my former school on the very first week at form 6.It was my vice- principal. She called me a few times as she couldn't get me. It was the Skim Anugerah Kecemerlangan 1 Malaysia. She asked me to apply for it and told me that the due date is on the next day. This really made me nervous as when I wanted to hand in that application form to her, I couldn't find her in school on that day. Luckily my beloved friend helped me and passed it to her. Not long after that, JPA result was announced. As what I expected I did not get it. On Sunday, my boyfriend's mum took me to church. The priest touched my head and said to me "Hope your dream come true".(What I prayed on that day really come true)
After 1 week, I got a letter from Kolej Teknologi YPC-iTWEB. It offers foundation courses and degree courses from UK. I was thinking why don't I just quit form 6 and enter this college as it offers full scholarship for foundation.
When I enter this college I got many friends mostly malays. They are really friendly and nice. After a few weeks, I got a call from Yayasan Pembangunan Ekonomi Islam Malaysia(YaPEIM). The person who called me told me that I am chosen for the 1 Malaysia scheme.I was on top of the world. For your information I will get RM 1000 every year throughout my studies at my college until I graduate. As what I know , I am the first chinese from Selangor state to get this Santun 1 Malaysia. I feel so proud of myself. Although this scheme doesn't really help me in lightening my family's burden, but at least it gives me experience to understand the Malay culture. I was asked to participate in one of their programmes at UPM(Universiti Putra Malaysia formerly known as Universiti Pertanian Malaysia). This programme really gave me a shock on my first day.
BECAUSE..................
When I entered the YaPEIM building , everyone was looking at me weirdly. I entered a small room where all the Santun scheme holders were resting and waiting there.I was so surprise that I was the only chinese girl at that time. Everyone came from different states. In this programme I got to know a friend who I will never get a chance to meet if I don't join this programme. She came all the way from Ranau, Sabah. She is orang Dusun. I get to know her cultures and her family background. The programme was really nice:)Everyone there knew me because I'm different:)
Did I really make a BIG mistake in choosing a Business and IT course instead of pure science related courses? I couldn't answer this question now. Throughout my studies in my college, everyone was asking the same question. "Why did you choose to study here? You should be studying in a much prestigious and famous college." The problem is... Do I have the money to study in those colleges and do I have enough money to support my living cost if i study in a better college?
The reason I chose this course because I wanted to graduate fast. The faster I graduate the faster I can make my dream into reality which is to study either Master in Managerial Psychology or MBA courses.Save all the money to study my Master. I did not want to finish all my money for my degree course as degree qualification doesn't really guarantee me a job.
Sometimes I would think if my father is still here, where will I be studying now?Sunway University College or HELP University College?
Anyway all these are already arranged by the only Great Almighty God in the heaven.
There's no point thinking about something that is permanently changed.
Since my dad left us during my SPM Trial Exam, my family members and I experienced a great change in our lives. I'e really made a very BIG change in my studies and future career as I would never dare to think to take Business and IT course in my life before. I had to pen off now. Thanks for reading my blog today. May God bless you.=)
