So I Left..

assalamualaikum..

after the mischievous interview with the ypm (yayasan pelajaran mara) representatives, i received a call two days after the interview. i earned myself a full scholarship from ypm for the jad programme (japanese associated degree), (supposed to be "associate" without the letter "d" but i can't help myself). and some calls from those people knowing that i earned the scholarships with the same question. "are you going or not?".

if i go for the jad programme, i'll spend my next 3 years in kktm beranang and with a good result i can spend the next 2 years of my life in japan. hoooray, sounds nice but i'm already used to utp!

therefore, as usual, the voices came to disturb my conscious mind. "japan!japan!japan!" and after a few discussions with these people, somehow i changed my mind and made myself a decision that changed my life forever. "mom, let's go".

goodbye utp and hello kktm beranang, i was expecting something that can make my leave worthy. here goes nothing. the voices, seriously not helping at all.

assalamualaikum..

Oh My GPS..

3 June 2012

assalamualaikum.

a few days earlier i received a call from ypm (yayasan pelajaran mara) asking whether i would like to attend an interview to earn myself a full scholarship from ypm for the jad programme (japanese associated degree). the operator gave me 5 hours of thinking and my head began to buzz for that day. my phone's credit started to flew away quite fast as i tried to get everyone's opinions which were not helpful at all. actually i don't really want to go for neither the interview or the scholarship. but, oh yes my greedy blood strikes again. "mom, let's try".

okay, 3rd of june. it's the day before the interview and the interview will be held in kolej kemahiran tinggi mara beranang, selangor. so i was like, "where the heck is beranang, never heard of this place before". and my sister was like, "no worries, we got gps". and i was like, "awesome, we'll reach there in no time". so we set the gps for the kktm beranang but the name beranang was never there. therefore, we simply put kktm in selangor.

not used to the complicated highways of kuala lumpur, my father got dizzy of driving and we got lost inside kuala lumpur highways simply because of the multiple junctions of the highway. dont blame him, blame the signboards! even the gps is useless at that time because the gps-readers in the car were not sure of their readings and cant tell my father on when to make a turn on time.

finally we reached kktm... petaling jaya. thank you gps. y u no show kktm beranang!? so we asked for directions. thanks to the policemen of balai polis kajang, we finally know where we should speed off to. a total of 10 hours were spent in the car as we finally arrived in beranang. oh gps. it was like 12am and we took a rest in a hotel near kktm beranang. man it was a long drive!

assalamualaikum.
