LiFe after SPM

LoL. my life after SPM = rocky road.

I love chemistry kononnya when i was young

and i tell my mum that i want to be a pharmacist.

I was emo everyday after SPM result was released.

I've no idea where should i study. what do i want. and stuff.

''Di mana ada education fair, di situ ada saya''

I applied for matrix. but failed.

But i got stpm science stream offer.

I was thinking.... to accept or not.

Dilemma... and i was taking my driving licence in Sarawak that time.
My offer was in KK.

So, i decided to give up STPM.

Then i ever think of taking Cambridge A level in Miri.

During an education fair...

i know about this program... called International Canadian Pre-U (ICPU)

This is what the counselor told me.

''ICPU is very EASY. 70% on course work, 30% final exam.. as long as u do your assignments and homeworks, then even u don't attend ur final exam, u can manage to pass''

and i was cheated

Who dont love right? FINAL ExAM only 30%. sounds so EASY!

And i tell my parents that i want to enroll for this program.

Surprisingly they agreed.

Tuition fees in Taylors College is NOT CHEAP honestly.

and i started my life as a pre-u student in taylors.

My first semester in Taylors = SUCKS.

I took physics, chemistry, calculus, malaysian studies + moral Studies + English 4C

I am just a below average student.

I really thought that AS LONG AS I DO MY HOMEWORK I CAN MANAGE TO PASS!

But no.... i pity my poor english.

Reading my physics text book. i need to flip my dictionary for 'n-times'

And the most KASIHAN thing is... i don't even know what is SLOPE that time.

T_______T

And the coursework is not coursework.

coursework = weekly test, unit test, presentation, labs, ISU

ISU = Independent Study Unit.

U Imagine. Organic Chemistry. The Lecturer x teach in Class. But u NEED to study yourself.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY IS NOT EASY!

And i did not survive in my first semester.

I failed my Calculus. And Physics and chemistry in border line.

BUT I ENJOY MY LIFE!

I MET NEW FRIENDS! AND THEY ARE GREAT!

Second semester.I took Biology, Calculus, International Business and Accounting.

I manage to survive a better result.

manage to get 70+ for each.

and know what, we need to pass ENGLISH 4C and either Ontario Secondary Literacy Test (OSSLT) or OLC4O to graduate. with 6 subjects.

They will throw all those who get A for ENGLISH in SPM to ENG4C.

and pass OSSLT, then graduate.

Yea, i got A for english in spm.

BUT I DON'T MANAGE TO PASS MY OSSLT EXAM!

FML! means that i cannot graduate.

I need to take OLC4O!

and i spent another semester in taylors.

1.5 years in taylors, i manage to graduate with an average of 70+.

AGAIN! I Don't know where to continue.... I wanted to take BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE, or BIOTECHNOLOGY, or PSYCHOLOGY since i gave up Pharmacy. LoL.

But my parents don't allowed me to study in KL anymore.

no choice. i applied CURTIN SARAWAK for Chemical Engineering.

IMAGINE! my math and physics sucks. i failed my calculus, and i get only 50+ in physics during ICPU. how to survive? and i really hate those calculation stuff.

and yea. 4 units. engineering mathematics, engineering mechanics, engineering materials and engineering foundation: principle and communication.

Thanks god. I manage to failed 2 units.

i decided to withdraw. and wanted to change to business stream. or psychology.

when i went to campus, ''feeling of withdrawing''.... i met a friend.

same case with me... he told me about GEOLOGY.

and asked me to look for counselor.

So, i met curtin counselor. I tell her my case.

She INTRO GEOLOGY to me.

according to her, GEOLOGY IS NOT HARD.

no more calculation. simple science.

AGAIN! i was cheated. LOL.

I tell my sis about geology. she said can earn a lot...

in 2 days time. i decided to enrolled GEOLOGY! T_T

i am madly in love with my uni campus now.

i've completed 4 semester for this course.

all i can say is... NOT EASY... but u will madly in love with it.

u will feel proud to tell others that you're a geology student.

u feel so ehem when u watch 2012.

dealing with rocks is FUN.

dealing with PETROLOGY microscope is FUN!

U will feel proud when other course microscope cannot rotate but urs can rotate. hahahah.

dealing with outcrops = sucks.

dealing with minerals = nice. cz they are pretty and beautiful!

dealing with fossils = expensive! hahaha.

coursemates are great! lecturers are nice and friendly.

fieldtrips are fun. although my sunburn not completely recover yet.

GEOLOGY IS NOT HARD if YOU'RE PRO IN MEMORIZING!

and i will not U-turn anymore. I don't wanna change course anymore.

Bless me. GEOLOGY = interesting!

BYE.
