Australian Student Visa Approved

My Aussie student visa was approved today \0/
That was surprisingly fast considering I just finished my medical examination last Tuesday.
The Aussie Immigrations sure do a fast job. If only our government do jobs as fast as them ^^

Anyway UQ here I come =D
Now to get some flight tickets. Should I take MAS and go straight to Brisbane or the cheaper Air Asia to Gold cost and take the train to Brisbane.
and to look for accommodations, why are all residential colleges catered T_T
and the only on-campus accommodation that is self-catered seems pretty good but damn expensive AUD $285 per week T_T

Oh well, we'll see how things go, till next time ^^

PlayStation 3 & PlayStation®Move

Finally after saving money for a long time and having to spend on other stuff in certain conditions and saving again and again etc. finally =D , bought these at the PC EXPO in Mid Valley during
the PC EXPO earlier this month ^^

The University of Queensland

The University of Queensland's Coat of Arms

So finally after a kinda long period of applications,thinking and waiting I've finally decided where I'm gonna study. Recently went to the Taylor's Placement Center Agreement and Response to Offer form to UQ and got my electronic Confirmation of Enrollment (eCOE) and Acceptance Letter recently.

I'm gonna be starting my first year as a UQ student in the Bachelor of Business Management in February 2011 in UQ, St. Lucia which is the main campus of UQ =D
Now the hard part is finding some good accommodation to stay in during my first year. hum should I find one near/on-campus or off-campus near the Central Business District where all the shops are （＞＿＜） Why does all the on campus residential colleges have to be catered, I want self-catered T_T

Here are some fun facts about the University of Queensland.

MOTTO:

	Scientiā ac Laborē "By means of knowledge and hard work

Which means unlike the Tensai (genius) friends of mine like the ones in Cambridge,Oxford,ANU,HKU etc. , we reached where we are by means of hard work =D

Medical Assistant

Hey everyone,
been a long time ahaha =D
well just to update a bit on what I've been up to recently.
Basically there are some important stuff like my future uni,kak sara's engagement etc. but more on that later this post is about the job I've been doing since I finished TBF last July.
Basically I'm working as a Medical Assistant in Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur for ZAR SURGERY SDN BHD. Basically Pantai rents the places to specialist doctors to set up individual clinics in Pantai and I work for one of these clinics and not Pantai itself like the Nurses etc. Basically I'm a temporary filling in for Kak Syairin who just delivered her third son last August and will be on leave until November. You can guess who's my boss ahaha
Here's a bit of sneak peak into the office =D

The receptionist area of the clinic.
These two are the pics inside Dr. Zain's room where he do the check ups some procedures etc. =D
The room where he does the procedures that requires local anesthetics =D
General anesthetics need to be done in the Operation Theaters.
Basically when there's nothing to be done this is where I sit doing random stuff all day ahaha
All the files around the place lol, pening to susun and do all the paperwork some times ahaha and also when I have to look for some of the patients files.
These cramped space is where all the medicines that doesn't require refrigeration, A4 papers,photostat machine,envelopes etc. etc. are kept lol damn hard to find some of them sometimes ^^"
These is where we keep most of the equipment,some plasters,tissues,cotton buds,gauze,most of the packed sterilized stuff,sterilized gloves,needles,syringes etc. etc. are kept =D


And lastly a picture of some of the lame jokes hanged on the wall at the sofas in the waiting area opposite the receptionist are =D

Some of them really lame right ahahaha =P

Well that's all from me for now.
Until you hear from me again ^^

さよなら。

It’s Taylor’s University now

PUTRAJAYA: Taylor’s University can play an active role in helping the nation achieve a knowledge-based society by offering quality programmes to students, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said.

He said the institution could perform well if it focused on niche areas such as hospitality, business management, engineering and technology.

Previously known as Taylor’s University College, it will be known as Taylor’s University effective yesterday.

The certificate was presented by YB Dato' Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, Minister of Higher Education to Professor Dato' Dr Hassan Said, President and Vice Chancellor of Taylor's University in Putrajaya on 29 September 2010. Also present were Emeritus Professor Tan Sri Dato' Dr. Syed Jalaludin Syed Salim, Taylor's Chairman and Dato' Loy Teik Ngan, Group CEO of Taylor's Education Group.

“The elevation is a recognition of the institution’s development and excellence, especially its quality and research,” he told reporters at the ministry before presenting documents for the elevation of university status to Taylor’s University vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Hassan Said.

A milestone: Mohamed Khaled presenting the status elevation papers to Hassan while Taylor’s chairman Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Syed Jalaludin Syed Salim looks on.

Taylor’s celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. Mohamed Khaled said the university had met all the criteria set by the ministry before being awarded the university status.

Currently, he said, there are 20 public institutions of higher learning, 48 private institutions of higher learning of which 22 of them are bestowed university status.

Prof Hassan said the institution wanted to be at the same level as established universities throughout the world.

“We want to compete globally and support the country’s higher education strategy,” he added. He also thanked the ministry for the recognition.

Professor Dato' Dr Hassan expresses, "We are happy to receive University status which will further enhance our standing and enable us to better compete globally. It is indeed a mark of recognition and trust from the Ministry of Higher Education and further reiterates our acceptance as a respected institution of higher learning.

"As one of Malaysia's oldest and most reputable private education institutions, Taylor's plays a strong role in developing our nation's human resource capital. Currently, we have a 65,000-strong alumnus which continues to grow annually, and many of these Taylorians are now leaders in their respective fields. We will continue to work closely with the Ministry of Higher Education towards placing Malaysia as the Regional Hub and Centre of Excellence in Education." According to Professor Hassan the Malaysian education system must continue to be re-evaluated and improved to create the workforce of the future. This will ensure that excellence is rewarded and talented graduates who excel in strategic and creative thinking as well as entrepreneurial and leadership skills are nurtured so that they can drive success in the decades ahead.

"Taylor's believes in creating an enjoyable work environment where staff are nurtured and provided with opportunities to realize their potential. As such we have seen a strong convergence of intellects where highly qualified people from all over the world have joined us because they believe in the Taylor's brand and the work we are doing. This has served to enhance our capabilities and brought us closer to our aim to one day become one of the best universities in the region.

"Over the years, the Taylor's brand has been synonymous with a culture of excellence in education. It is our Taylor's hallmark and heritage. Our work has received numerous recognitions, both locally and internationally, from professional bodies such as CDIO, RICS to name a few, in addition to the numerous awards won by our faculties over the years. Recently announced, Taylor's University College was one of the 18 higher education institutions which achieved Tier Five or 'excellent' status in the Rating System for Malaysian Higher Education 2009 (SETARA). The SETARA measures quality of teaching and learning at the undergraduate level in universities and university colleges in Malaysia," added Professor Hassan.

Taylor's University offers a comprehensive range of tertiary programmes, such as Architecture, Building & Design, Biomedical Science, Business, Communication, Computer Science, Engineering, Hospitality & Tourism and Law. Building on over 40 years of experience and collaborations with renowned partner universities, Taylor's also offers students the opportunity to obtain prestigious degrees through its own home-grown degree programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

In support of the Government's vision of producing 60,000 Malaysian Ph.D. holders by 2020, Taylor's University (TU) recently launched its Ph.D. Fellowship Award for outstanding scholars pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Engineering, Science or Hospitality & Tourism at TU.

Taylor's University is a member of the Taylor's Education Group, which comprises the Taylor's College, Garden International School, Sri Garden Kuala Lumpur, Australian International School Malaysia and Nexus International School.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Tahun 1431 Hijrah (2010)

It's been 30 days of fasting and the holy month of Ramadhan has passed for this year.

It's now time to celebrate our success in getting through Ramadhan without fail in fasting and such ^^
I would just like to wish "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri dan Maaf Zahir dan Batin to all my friends and such daripada SKWM,SMSS,KMPP,Taylor's,ICLS and many more sama ada yang berada di dalam ataupun yang berada di luar negara sama ada yang baru pergi/pulang ke tanah orang dan terpaksa celebrate raya dalam kelas XP.Halalkan makan minum and aku harap sebarang silap dan salah aku kita semua lupakan ^^ kosong-kosong ok =D
Hope boleh jumpa korang semua yang ada kat Malaysia maybe kat open salah sorang diorang ni ^^
aku ada banyak lagi bende nak cakap sebenarnya tapi biarla at some other place and time ^^ "

First of all I spent my first few hours of Raya yesterday doing my Advance-1 Japanese test in ICLS ^^" way to start of raya ^^" for my friends who doesn't know in the Islamic calender a day starts during maghrib around those times you see us Buka Puasa so yesterday was already raya and I spent the first few hours doing a test which I hopefully passed as I'm quite worried and not very confident with my answers and also those kanji which I forgot ^^"

Anyway let's back track a bit to the last few days of ramadhan.Well usually that's the time my family goes and do our Raya shopping buying some new shirts,shoes etc.
Well this year due to some laziness and some other reasons like me going to ask them to spend a few thousand Aussie Dollars to pay for my University Fees in a few weeks time ^^" I insisted on not buying new shirts etc. I just want a new pair of shoes and well the usual new baju melayu though in the end my mum just bought a few shirts for me though I wasn't there ^^"
I just bought a new pair of shoes with my mum well I buy them once a year and this seems like the best time if any to ask for a new expensive pair of sneakers =D
Oh yeah and since I needed a new watch since my old one suddenly got broke a few weeks back and not having a watch has made it quite inconvenient at times I bought a new one too.
Here they are ^^
Oh yeah they had this thing if you purchase stuff more than RM300 worth you can spin this wheel thing and get a free prize =D there was like some knee guards,socks etc. etc. and luckily enough I got a new basketball there was only one of that among the segments on the wheel =D
my old one has been in such a bad condition it's great to have a new basketball =D

Anyway here's some of the food my mum cooked for Raya she's such a great cook =D
we all had to help her around and all well I escaped most part of it saying I had to study for my Japanese exam I mentioned earlier ahaha but had to help after I got back.
Here's some of them.Well there's a lot of other stuff too like the lemang,ketupat,more kuih raya etc. but here's some highlights ^^








Oh yeah got a good amount of Duit Raya today too despite only going to a few houses today ahaha.Overall it was a good first day of raya this year despite me not being as excited as previous years about it ^^

anyway folks that's all from me,
until next time,
さよなら。

It's been a while ^^

さよなら。

The end of TBF

Hi guys,

Been a long time since I updated this place ahaha,
To many things to do and so much stuff has happened and it's just that I became lazy to update LOL XP
Above was some of the great new friends I made in TBF 3.1 July 2009,
Had dinner with them in Shogun recently using the money we won as first place in Young Entrepreneurs Day 2010 =D
Seems a lot of them are going to UWE after this. Less are going to UniSA and Taylor's-UWE and even more less like me.
oh well good luck for whatever you guys are going to do afterward =)
Just got my results from Foundation recently

Got my results recently and I got a "D" in ACCF02 yeay \0/
For those of you who doesn't know and ask why am I happy with a "D",you got to understand first we don't go by A,B,C,D,E we go by HD,D,C,P,F so a D is pretty good in my book =D

I went to the Divisional Office and Exam Unit to request for some stuff on Monday during my break from work and submit my clearance form and there was a very long line of new UniSA/TBF/TUC-UWE students there @_@ So I cut the line and went straight to the counter since I know the lady and ask for the form to fill and gave to her. Then I went to the exam unit to ask them for an Official Transcript but they say they can't do that yet and they told me to wait until then,I had to explain the situation to them and about the Uni applications that if I don't do it on either 7th August (Taylor's Placement Day) or 13th August (IDP Education Fair) I would be charged 100 Aussie Dollars per uni application since on those two days application fees are waived since the Aussie Uni faculty members will be there, they still say they can't print the thing after they went and asked their manager but what they can do is they will make a letter with all my results and have Ms. Yong (the Dean of the School of Marketing and Management) sign it, so ok it was fine by me and I went to Japanese class ^^
I always felt anxious when waiting for this kind of stuff ahaha it was a killer to wait three working days to go there and get the things.

So to make the story short I went to Taylor's University College on Friday to collect the stuff and when I went to the Divisional Office again there was a long line @_@ busy orientation week ahaha but nicely Wayne from 3.2 was there, seems he already enrolled in the UniSA Marketing Degree and he needs his UniSA's ID to access their portal so I went to stand with him.He was second in line then ahaha XD
The person at the counter was in charge of UniSA so she called another lady who handled TBF to handle my matter, for some reason she did not have my letter @_@ and the request form as well, I just know her a bit since I helped them a few times during orientation so she just told me to fill in another form and she will prepare the letter immediately. It took her about 15 minutes or so typing the thing and getting Ms. Carol to sign it. She said she will check on my clearance form and call me and so after getting my Letter of Completion the Exam Unit is next.
When I went there and ask they said most people there went on a trip @_@ and the person who might have handled my letter went as well so they don't know where my letter is @_@
So after talking to them for a bit they told me to have a sit and they'll look for my letter. So I sat down while they look around their colleagues desks looking for the letter.I waited for about 10 minutes then they found the letter and gave it to me. It said I completed TBF and showed what grades I have scored in all the ten core subjects of TBF. I asked them when can I get my transcript with my MQA Subject Results and they say that would have to wait together with my official transcript so ok that was fine by me, I had mostly everything I need for University Application now.
So I went to SS15 afterward to go to IDP before my Friday prayers so that a copy of the letter can be forwarded to some Universities where my applications are still pending evaluation. When I went inside I saw that Michelle (the person who acts as my agent) was not there so I went and lepak at the old TBS's M-Floor for a while. The atmosphere there sure has changed with all those CPU and ADP students in that place. It gives a totally different atmosphere which doesn't make it feel like the M-Floor and it's different from the previous ECA as well which doesn't make it feel like a nice place, some of those people seem problematic as well XP

I went to my Friday prayers afterwards and had some Nasi Briyani before walking back to IDP. When I arrived at IDP, I saw that Michelle is still not there so I asked the receptionist and she said that Michelle is on leave today.Seems everywhere a lot of people are not around today....what luck...... So I went to another counselor who sits next to Michelle, she knows me as well since I assisted Syazrin who was under her before. She helped me certify a copy of that letter and put it on Michelle's table. So I went home afterward and sent Michelle an email regarding the letter.

Some more stuff happened as well though that's pretty much from me.
Oh yeah one last thing today is Ying's Birthday.She's my younger sister.
十八さいにお誕生日おめでとう
Happy 18th Birthday

So that's all for now folks,
until we meet again,
lets go,
さよなら

Happy Birthday Nana

Happy 16th Birthday to my sister.

お誕生日おめでとう！！！

I2-1107

Finally done with Intermediate 2.
That's my class I2-1107 with Mayanagi Sensei in the pic above though there are certain people that did not sit for the exam yet and some that was to busy with work to come that day resulting in Stephan san and Mei san to be the only two working adults there when Sensei was going to give an example of salaryman and OL.All the others were college students exept Lee which is a school girl.
I didn't study much in I2 and had a really hard time in the exam last week but I pulled through somehow ahaha =)
Anyway I'm going to start Intermediate 3 hopefully next Monday.6 of us confirmed with Shelby that we are continuing to I3 that day and she said somebody will call us to confirm,I think they need two more people to confirm a class. ^^

So that's all from me (^_^)
Until next time,
さよなら

Nothing better to do...

I feel so bored nowadays,don't really have much stuff to do.
Oh yeah got an email from June recently

After all the tough time going thru with Finance Department. I finally GOT the money!

You can come to collect starting on Monday (8 March).

Thank you.Regards,
June

Finally getting my pay \0/
Oh yeah I saw this on the Taylor's website recently.


I wonder if they need any student ambassadors ^^ Maybe I'l ask when I collect my pay next Monday.

Oh yeah talking about emails.I've been getting a lot of e-mails in the morning =.=
Those are not the kind of e-mails I want to see when I just wake up.Mainly it comes from TAS ^^" Why does sending the e-mails always happen in the early mornings. ^^"
It's not that it's a bad thing trying to give people info as soon as possible but it is damn annoying to me when I'm waiting for emails from Universities.Since those unis always seem to send me e-mails in the morning or afternoon ,either way it's morning here since they are a few hours ahead.So when I wake up there's a very disappointing feeling when I see my MSN showing I have e-mail and when I check my inbox, the e-mail is not from those I'm waiting for =.=
Anyway it can't be helped..... do your job guys,your doing great.
I finally got the e-mail I was waiting for yesterday thank goodness.It's a pretty good option but I think after I get my final transcript and letter of completion and the next IDP Aussie education fair I'l apply to a few more Universities.There was some that I saw have some pretty attractive programs so why not try and see.Some have cheaper tuition fees as well.Got to thing of that too since my sis in SAM is thinking of going overseas as well.No harm to apply to some and see if I can get or not.I counted and all my applications thus far actually would have costed around 1200 Aussie Dollars ahaha good thing I got all application fees waived during the events.

As for TAF,good luck to the new committee and those who are in charge of certain stuff XD
I can't help much since I know myself I'm not much of a planner unless the things really interests me a lot and I'm pretty much occupied with my own interests right now ^^" Maybe I'l help out more when it's kinda slows down.
Oh yeah anyway anybody that knows anyone who wants to join any Taylor's Programs contact me I can help you out a bit ^^
I'm better at looking at what you guys did and I see a lot of holes and hyperbola in some and some stuff which I absolutely thing is nonsense and not needed ^^"
Oh well I'l point it out in due time.Before that I will observe attempts to make it a reality and help where I can.Who knows it will actually happen =)

Oh yeah had my exam for my Japanese Intermediate-2 last Thursday.I think I didn't perform really well in it.I forgot a few words during the oral test and was forced to ask Mayanagi Sensei to repeat the questions a few times.I was totally lost when I reached the part about import/export =.= The written test wasn't so good either.Hopefully I get through.Will know the results on Monday ^^

So that's all from me for now,
Until next time,
さよなら、

Overdue Videos

Well here are some really overdue videos I said I would upload some time ago ^^"
I was lazy to upload them due to the really unstable and slow internet connection I have and the fact that I keep getting errors when I tried uploading among other things. (>_<)









On another note here's a more recent video somehow I was able to upload all this videos without much errors this time so I decided to try uploading all of them in one shot ^^

That's all for now.
Until next time
さよなら

Deferement and Preview Day

Got nothing much to do recently.
Got an e-mail from ANU saying that they are currently buy with semester 1 enrollment so it will take up to 6 weeks for me to know the outcome of my request for deferment =.=

Worked for Taylor's for their preview day last Saturday.I got quite a boring job sitting at the carpark and count how many people came with a ticker =.= Jie Joe go and steal my job of bringing people up to mph later XP
Anyway before we finished work they called us and say we could take the leftover foods done by the culinary art students man were there a lot of great foods ahaha XD
Brought some home with me ahaha.Got ayam percik and some roti jala too.
Now I'm wondering when will I get my pay they did not tell exactly when we are getting paid ^^"
Oh yeah after that went to eat with Leong Zhi and Jie Joe.We found out Leong Zhi was thinking of going whether Metropolitan College or Toilet's University College last year ahahahaa XP joke of the month how he go say Toilet instead of Taylor's XD
Was really tired afterwards almost fell asleep a lot of times in the train back ahaha
Anyway I finished painting my room red it's a bit messy now so maybe I'l put up it's pic some other time ^^

Anyway that's all from me until next time

Deferment Request

Okay I requested to defer uni offer to semester 1 2011.
Hopefully they will approve that request.
*thinks what am I gonna do to fill the gaps right now which I have nothing to do*
Haven't been doing anything interesting or much worth to note recently.
Ying started college already so now if I want to go Taylor's have to wake up early @_@
go to TCSJ with her.Last week or so I had to go TCSJ for some kind of meeting so I decided go lepak at lakeside first.I did not sleep the night before and I swear the library was really comfortable XD There were a lot of sofas and comfortable seats the wifi not bad to maybe cause it's still new and not that many students yet. I took one seat that could look over the look at actually fell asleep there for like 2 hours or so ^^"
Oh yeah I actually feel very annoyed now because of someone.You know who you are @_@

New Years,New Times,New Watch

Hello everyone　こんばんわ ^^

This is the watch that I got from my mum after I got my SPM results back in 2008 ^^
It has went through a lot with me those outings I had with friends ,all those time spent at home after waiting for entrance into college,the few months I spent in Kolej Matrikulasi Pulau Pinang, the times of my foundation in Taylor's last year ^^

Well through all those and random stuff the strap of the watch got damaged and had to be replaced T_T So I went to the Fossil shop in The Gardens yesterday to order the strap for it but then found out it was damn expensive T_T for the price of the strap I might as well go buy a new watch so I decided to better go walk around looking for one but none interested me ^^"

Today I had to go to Taylor's along with my sister for her to discuss her study plan for her degree with the academic counselor. Since we got there around lunch time the counselor already went out for lunch so we had to go spend some time somewhere first. My sister,mom and I went to Subang Parade to have our lunch and then looked for a new watch there. After looking around a bit I decided on this watch here ^^
Maybe if I got some extra money I'l get a new strap for my old watch since it holds a lot of sentimental value ^^" but until then it will be sitting in my cupboard and this new watch will be the one accompanying me through all the new adventures I'l be having in life.
That's all from me for now guys

So until next time
さよなら
