Fly Kite

I called ESU Petronas, requesting that they will extend my scholarship to cover my cost upon embarking on this Study Abroad Program, whereby I'll be studying in the University of Melbourne for a semester. Though its a short one semester the total cost is exorbitant.

Keeping a polite and hopeful tune, I called Mr Asridin our student advisor to UTP based scholars.

Me : Sir, will Petronas be able to sponsor my course of study in Melbourne considering I'm the only one embarking on this program and my good track record.
Asridin : No I don't think so. But we working with UTP to send students over under the same program later on in the year.
Me : So does this mean Petronas will only sponsor the coming batch and not mine this time. I'm surprised why ESU does not sponsor this batch which I'm going on, but the previous and the coming ones. Can't anything be done sir?
Asridin : No I'm afraid not. Too bad for you. Its just pure bad timing.

I was very indignant when I heard that. Yeah its bad timing and though luck, but that doesn't mean I have to be told that apart from being spoken to in a tone as if I was a beggar. I wasn't really indignant or mad when I heard they will not be sponsoring, but in the later part of the conversation when that whole conversation took place I was blown off.

I'm a student you are my advisor. Where's your professionalism. At least decline me in a better manner. And once I said thank you, he slammed the phone. Well probably they think its not worth spending money on me because I'm not good enough for them, ain't it.

Well, at least thanks Mr Asridin for even taking time to talk to me.

Exam Excursion

Current exams remaining :




One down, 4 more major ones to go.

Went down to Ipoh for dim sum this morning at 6.30, finally after oversleeping last Sunday (was suppose to go down last Sunday but I, the driver overslept XD).

Wanna know more details of our excursion, there's always the Birdy's blog(post 678) to read =)

Spent a whooping 12$ per person for breakfast. Then it's still food. We headed to this shop in old town, famous for its egg tarts and 'shak ke ma'. Since the last time I went, the price of egg tarts have been raised till 1.10$ per tart. That's super expensive compared to previously 0.80$. Still, can't complain cause it taste good and is big, but I still need 2 to make me full, while the girls needed only 1, or for Perempuan BKT, only 1/2.

Regretted not buying more...Only 2 more left now...but heck, it's expensive. Tomorrow's SP...But I'm thinking of sleep, Desperate Hoesewives, Heroes and food....I'm so screwed.

Got back to campus yesterday. Started on Moral today...man...i can't take anymore of the world law and treaties...UN...can't lawyers and politicians write in simpler language? It's all going in a round...no wonder all these treaties are bleached and not maintained. Cause all those language creates a loophole while some just can't understand.

Can't stop listening to Rascal Flatts songs from their latest album, 2006 Me And My Gang. The songs are good, with good music and lyrics.

Was talking to How Jian for some time. Beginning to miss times in college. It was short, but it was fun with a whole bunch of whacko friends. According to him our group consist of one annoying and master of foul language, one who is funny, and one who is pure annoying and easy to pick on. Since you din't mention about youtself, you are the mensa kid who just love to annoy people and too good to be true =P

Campus is really quiet without the ones in celebration around and it has been raning frequently. At least I can leave my door open wide to enjoy the cold breeze without worrying of those people looking as they pass by.

Wish the semester ends faster. I want a holiday...badly...and I need a job for the coming holidays. Anyone out there who's offering employment?
