When joy becomes sorrow..

OK, picture this.. You got an offer from a university, you are all excited and confused at the same time.. You discuss with your parents, siblings, friends, etc.. At last you decide to accept it and very happy that you got a place in the university. However, the following day, u found your name mysteriously disappeared from the system.. You were puzzled, figuring it's a technical error.. And you were not the only one, many people faced the similar problem.. Convinced, you call up the university next day to clarify your status, only to be told that it was a technical error and your name was in there by accident.. You were turned down and the person kept on apologizing.. How would you feel??

SENARAI TERKINI BERJAYA KE USM

Calon-calon diminta membuat semakan terkini keputusan kemasukan ke USM mulai 30 Mei 2009 jam 4.00 petang. Calon yang TIADA dalam senarai atau TIADA dalam maklumat berjaya adalah GAGAL mendapat tempat di USM dan akan dipertimbangkan di IPTA lain. Bagi calon yang berjaya, sila hantar LAMPIRAN A dan Lampiran A1 selewat-lewatnya 8 JUN 2009.

Kesilapan teknikal ini dan segala kesulitan amat dikesali.

Let me tell you what.. THIS IS A TOTALLY FUCK UP CASE!!! I may not be affected by such shit but countless of people are.. People are crying, screaming, cursing when they got to know that such shit happpened, and it was done by an APEX university, supposedly to be the pride of Malaysian education.. Well, more like shame..

This people think it was fun to give people false hope, make them happy for about 24 hours only to destroy it later.. And that's how we lost faith in our education system, that's how we lost faith with the current administration, that's why March 8 happened.. You don't go around screwing people up.. Technical error, yeah rite, lame excuse.. If you weren't ready, why bothered publishing it in the first place.. Get everything sorted out, before this kind of shit happens.. And well, it did..

Now all my friends who got USM are left dejected, angry, etc... And have to wait for UPU.. And to them, this shit can happen with UPU.. I don't know man... I seriously don't.. I can't believe stuff like that actually happens.. Sure, its the real world, anything happens.. Seriously, u gotta be kidding me.. I really agree with one quote from the LYN forums, USM = Universiti Suka Menipu.. Fits the bill so correctly.. To those who were left dejected, it's not the end of the world yet.. Let's hope UPU will actually make some of us happy.. God bless us all..

Results are out..

Well, USM results kinda came out yesterday.. And this is what I got

Harap maaf. Dukacita dimaklumkan nama anda tiada dalam senarai berjaya USM.
Harap maklum.

SELAMAT MAJU JAYA

Oh well, I actually gave up on USM the moment they never called me for interview and would have rejected any other course that they offer to me..

However what is surprising is that a lot of people who are 4 flat, that I know, never get the course they wanted.. Like medicine, pharmacy, etc.. Some were offered their 3rd-4th choice, others flatly rejected.. And these people actually attended the interview for such courses..

To make matter more bizarre, I heard people with 3.33 and even 3.00 managed to enter dentistry course in USM.. I thought dentistry is as hard to get as pharmacy, medicine, law, etc.. Or is it that simple in Malaysia.. =S

Don't know people, am really queered about the selection criteria.. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait for UPU

>> Lepasan STPM/Setaraf : minggu ketiga Jun 2009

Circle Closet

OK, one of my friend is involved in this website, so I'm sharing this link to everyone out there, especially the girls..

http://www.circlecloset.blogspot.com/

Basically this website kinda sell girls clothing, blouses, skirt, etc.. So all my female readers out there might wanna have a look at it.. I'm doing these as a favour.. XD

Interesting..

I just found out something today. The fact that a lot of PTS students sat for STPM last year.. I thought 10 in SPI was a lot.. Then one NUS hopeful told me that her class had 5 PTS students.. If that's one class, what about one whole school??!! =S

Furthermore, there's a lot of them going to Singapore.. I have found 3 of them going to Singapore to pursue their undergraduate degree.. Wow, talk about a wave of PTS students.. Guess the Gov was kinda wrong to abolish PTS after the 1991 batch.. Or maybe kinda right.. Haha.. I don't know.. All I know that PTS students rules!! (quoted from my friend)

To Penang.. Again..

Well, as most of u would have known, I left for Penang on Monday and came back about 5 something yesterday evening.. So how was the trip? Pretty fun and nice.. Not much people since we went on a weekday.. So driving was pretty smooth.. Plus the idea of being 'lost' in Penang can be at times fun and confusing.. LOL!!

So left Seremban about 3pm with Wen Shan, Jong Hoong and Choong Meng, Wen Shan being the driver (have to thank him a lot, seriously, driving over 900km is no easy task!!).. Reach KL about 4pm and all of us except Khoo enjoyed (or more like searching for something) in Jalan Imbi.. After that left KL for Penang at around 7.30pm.. Travelling at night is sooo much more cooler (as in temperature) and nicer, since maybe u can speed a little without getting caught.. Stop by at Bidor to have our dinner, Wan Tan Mee.. Boy, gotta be the most expensive Wan Tan Mee I've ever ate, but it's soooo worth it.. Delicious.. Continued our journey and hit the ferry around 11.30pm.. It's nice sitting on the ferry at night, u get to see the night lights on both the island and the mainland.. So in the end reached our 'hotel', YMCAPG around 12.30am.. Headed for supper, Bak Kut Teh at 1am.. Haha.. And then lights out, kinda.. Couldn't sleep till 4am.. LOL!!

Next day, went to market in Penang road for breakfast and walk around the area.. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.. Places we hit was a second hand book store and KOMTAR.. After a short nap we head for the Cheong Fat Tze Mansion.. It's a mansion alright.. Super huge, imagine a house with 220 windows.. =S And a guy with 8 wives.. Quite a nice tour and a good tour guide.. So money well spent.. Batu Ferringhi was next, just lepak at the beach, taking photos.. After that dinner at Gurney Drive, at some hawker centre, delicious food.. And lepak for a while around Gurney and in Gurney Plaza.. Was dead tired after that and everyone hit the sacks early (midnight is early)..

And on the final day.. Again breakfast, more like brunch at the same place on Penang Road.. Then headed to a some places to buy some biscuits and stuff and a drive back to Seremban.. Was about 12.30pm when we hit the ferry.. A late lunch at Burger King and reached Seremban around 5.30pm.. After that, back to the normal, routine, boring life..

Penang was so much fun.. Maybe a little short, should have make it 4 days but well, it was a fun trip.. Will try to get some pics up once I get them from my friends.. Have a nice day.. =)

Random post..

Well, nothing much has happened the past few days.. Yesterday went out to celebrate Tang Soon's birthday.. Happy Belated Birthday bro!! Come to think of it, everybody is getting older, all losing their teen status.. Haha.. Guess I better enjoy my last year as a teen to the max!!! =p

Coming Monday I'll be away.. Again.. This time to Penang.. Can consider this as my last holiday before uni starts.. And gosh, speaking of uni, who knew going to Singapore to study can be soooo troublesome.. Must do this, must do that.. And the money is flowing like water going down the drain.. Haiz.. Expensive man.. It'll be only a last resort if I can't get what I want in Malaysia.. *prays very very hard to get something here*

Holidays will be holidays.. Boring as ever.. Funny rite? When ur in school, ur wishing "when's holidays?" and when ur holidaying, ur question will be "when school/uni is going to start??" Honestly speaking, if uni starts next week I'll gladly go.. Dead bored at home.. Although some friends told me they rather be bored at home then go back studying.. LOL!! Oh well, another month left.. And then will really be eating my own words.. Until then, I'm soooo looking forward to Penang.. YAHOOO!!!!!
