Be smart when choosing your path in education~

too much to say but unlimited time. all of a sudden my internet usage is cut down to an hour per day. what the heck? anyway, life must go on~ People nowadays tend to choose the easy way. Be it education or life. As an ex-STPM student, I would like to share my views on it. Unlike most of the STPM leavers, I won't discourage you when if you wants to study Form 6. I know how it feels like when you are not encouraged to pursue one of the toughest examinations in the world. (Or is it in Asia only?) My advice: Choose STPM if and only if you are willing to sacrifice your desires (only at a certain time) and focus on your studies. Have you ever wondered why there are still students in large numbers that willing to do Form Six despite all the other options we have in our country? We have Matriculations, Form Six, A-Level in private colleges and even diploma or foundation courses in IPTAs. Let me get this straight.

Matriculations are for excellent SPM scorers which have a higher percentage of the quota for the Bumiputera students. They have semester which means once they are done with the semester, they can put aside the syllabuses that they had studied for the semester and start fresh for the upcoming semester.

A-Level is for wealthy or sponsored kids (mostly Non-Bumis) who scored well in SPM but didn’t get any offer from government institutes. A-Level can be the easiest way if your family is rich enough to support your education expenses and you can cope with the stress.

Foundation/Diploma courses in IPTAs are also mostly for Bumiputera students. What annoys me most is that because of that one damn quota system, most of the good and deserved non-Bumiputera students doesn’t get a chance to pursue their tertiary education in an easier way. I had seen some of my friends who didn’t score well in SPM still get to do a diploma course in IPTA and they are Bumiputeras.

Can you see what the problems are? Money and quota system. Thus, those students with good results but unaffordable have to resort to their last and terrifying decision. Form Six. I had seen in my year quite a number of straight A scorers doing Form 6 when they all deserve to pursue their diploma or foundation.

If my words can reach the nation's education department, i would love to suggest that please remove the quota system. everyone from every race is deserve to pursue their dreams in an affordable fee. after all, abolishing STPM won't be a need if the quota system is abolished instead. we are 1Malaysia and therefore, i demand for a better education system in the country and only with education we can improvise our country from all aspect.

p/s: no offense to my malay friends. i love you all~ ♥

amidst loneliness~

loneliness will creep into our nights and stay with us all night. that's when we feel like we are under an Imperius Curse. IT will control our brain and actions. tears are uncontrollable and there won't be specific reason behind those tear drops. wish i can pour all these to someone and hug them and regain my "i'm not alone" feeling. but when i look around me, there's no one. my online friends are trying to cheer me up and i'm grateful for that but honestly, i want someone beside me now.

i hesitate to text anyone or comment in anyone's Facebook status. i'm bored but they might think i'm nosing into their lives. i feel like i might annoy them to a certain level. i wish i'm back in my school days where i have my bestie, friends, classmates and teachers to keep me occupied with something. i can only wish....

First Day of Work

Being a receptionist in an office that is filled with warm and friendly staffs (i must admit only 80% are friendly though) is quite fun in its own way. After attending a few calls, i got used to the work. Other than attending and transfering the calls and general desk works, i don't have pretty much work to do. so i made a mental note to bring my Harry along tomorrow. since Chinese New Year mood is still up in the air, there were only 10 employees which consists of 3 chinese including the 'boss'. So that can be the reason of lack of work for me today. and since this is my first ever job, i was amazed by the pantry. yes, the PANTRY! (silly me~) so another mental note. Bring my mug along with Harry tomorrow~

Things will be normal tomorrow as most of the staffs will be back to work and that means more calls need to attend and hopefully i won't screw up. i'm sleepy already so heading to bed now. i know that sounds weird when it comes from me but yes, i'm planning to sleep early and wake up early xP Nitez virtual world~
