College Matriculation Johor =]

At first entering College Matriculation Johor, i thought my dreams were shattered because i didn't manage to get JPA(public service department) overseas scholarship. But, this prove that i'm wrong as this college provides me a memorable and enjoyable time throughout my stay here.

Firstly i would like to talk a little of this college background and my stay around here. There are 3 grouping among students, which is Hayat(Biology),Fizikal(Physic) and Akaun(accounts). Me and my fello friends from the same school>> Jason,Joon Han and Gary were categorized into the Hayat group. xD miraculously, me, Jason and Gary were in the same Hayat, meaning we will
be attending the same kuliah(lecture) together.. =]

First week was orientation week. It was fun fun and more FUN. =] sleep during their giving of speech, chicken dance, banana dance, aerobic exercises, gather at 5am in the morning to exercise etc. From there, we found out that our chinese population was around 4-5% out of the 3000 students. O.O there were approximately 100 chinese students,while indian guys at that time were about 4 to 5 onli. >.<

The following weeks, me and Jason would get up early in the morning at 6am without fail to do EXERCISE>> jogging,basketball, sometimes accompany by Joon Han and Ping Hui before attending classes,which starts at 8am and end at 4pm, and then basketball again at 5pm after class.. xD

We were keen and looking forward towards buddhist class on friday, which were conducted by Kelvin Liew, one of the english lecturer, and also previously a felo(person in charge of where we staying) who speak good english and "good" chinese just like me.. xD =]
one of his quote "harimau mati tinggalkan kulit, manusia mati tinggalkan nama,SIPUT BABI mati tinggalkan bab# "
being a Malaccan, i also found out that that his(Penang) way of chanting and our way were a little different, especially the word SADHU! SADHU! SADHU! ,which means excellence!
this SADHU word is very unique and thus majority of the chinese here when sees each other will clamp our hands together and greet SADHU to each other.. =]

BUT many things CHANGED when the appealing of JPA results were out. My close friend, Jason Tong and a few more from this College were given a 2nd chance to study overseas. This are a few who got the scolarship to study overseas.
Jason Tong > US > Actural science
Yeau Hoong> US > Computer science
Joon Han > UK > Pharmacy
Gary Lim > India > Dentistry (wakakakkkkkk)
Han Shen > AUS > Law

My close friends, classmate,which we had strong bonds together since primary school, which also gotten excellent results were all going away in different direction one by one, not to forget Shi Ching, who is going to Russia to study his medicine there end of this month. After knowing that Jason Tong had had the scholarship,I have mix feelings of sadness and joy for him. I was sad that the fact that he would not be there to hang around with, play basketball early morning together, chat, study together etc etc but i was glad for him that he had the chance to pursue his dreams to study actuarial science overseas. SADHU to him! SADHU who those who gotten JPA overseas scholarship! take care..=]

Recently, there were an IPTA(program to study public university locally) talk. It was a total disappointment.
1. We would have to be bonded to the government the same amount of years as the overseas programme. For me, If I would to accept the IPTA scholarship,I would be bonded for 10 years..and I HAVE to serve the government 10 years THEN ONLY i can continue my masters. Meaning i could not study my masters during that 10 years period. So imagine, 34 years old studying masters,37-38 years old only become specialist? Janggut and Misai all grow alrealdy by that time.
2. There are no reserve place for us in the university. We must apply to get into the University first only they will sponsor us. Thus, there isn't any difference between the other matriculation student and form 6 students.


To who are going to study overseas, study hard study smart, maintain the standard and hope everything goes well for you guys. Life goes on with/without your presence, thus I will continue to look forward and enjoy every bit of moment in my College Matriculation Life.. =] Time moves on relentlessly without waiting for anyone, take care, keep in touch.. and last but not least, SADHU.....
