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 ^^

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
ok I know that's not what it really means but hey it sounded like a good thing to write when I was thinking about it ahaha =D

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.

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

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、

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 @_@

希望の光

Okay so I failed two subjects no big deal right?RIGHT?
Ok it's a big deal @_@
I failed Accounting 2 and Business Statistics
Man I hate subjects that has a lot two do with numbers and practicing @_@
I blame it on *** which resulted in low standing marks and playing around too much.
Thankfully my marks qualify me to sit for the supplementary exam next week @_@
Why can't TBF be something like those exams if you fail means you fail just give me lower average percentage and be done with it but no it isn't.Ok so the supplementary test is my ray of hope now I can't loss here.
It's a live or die exam where everything is on that one paper. Wish me luck everyone I'm really going to need it ^^"

Its over (Hopefully)

3rd Semester finals are finally OVER!!

and hopefully that signals the end of foundation with it ^^" (please Allah don't let me fail anything)
Went out to Sunway pyramid last week with Brendan, Junne, Hooi Jett and Pin shin.
Watched ninja assassin was really cool. So much fighting and fake blood ahaha
It made it looked like it was so easy to cut of a part of the human body ^^"

Oh yeah two hours of study somehow got me an 80 in Intermediate-1 Japanese just made it to the A line ^^ If only that could happen with college exams it would be so great @_@
Here's a pic after we took our certs for I1 with our RM30 voucher if we decided to continue to I2 ^^"
I1-1142

Assignments,Applications etc....

A lot have been happening lately.

First of all I'm dying with assignments again T_T
Last friday got one down submitted out Islamic Studies Assignment.
The tittle sounded so wrong on the cover it wrote:
Islamic Studies Group Assignment(Free Sex)
sounded so wrong right putting the tittle like that ahaha
Tomorrow would be the date for Macroeconomics and Friday would be the due date for Accounting, English and Statistics T_T

That aside This week I applied to a bunch of Universities. I still have not decided whether to go straight to Australia after foundation or not but right now I seem to be leaning more towards that side.Here are the prospectus of the Universities I applied to during the Aussie Edu Fair at IDP last Wednesday


On another note I got a Band 8.0 for my IELTS XD .Band 8.5 on listening,8.0 on reading, 6.5 on writing(this spoiled the look on good look on the result a bit ^^") and a band 8.0 for speaking =) .Yun you owe me Bubble tea XP and I don't know who told Miss Teh I took IELTS but she knew somehow and asked me to show her my results.She was pretty happy with it though she was talking about she was a bit disappointed on the writing part.Latter I found out that she told 3.3 about my results what the O_o hum I wonder if Ms. Nurleena knows about this ahaha.Can I ignore english a bit now that I kinda got through mostly Universities english requirements now? XP

Oh yeah there was an Study in Australia Fair yesterday I went there to look around and talk to certain Universities that I did not apply to at IDP and also apply to Monash's Malaysian Campus since the one at IDP was for the Australian Campus.
I went to Kinokuniya afterwords and after I wanted to go back home after finding no book that interests me I stopped at the manga section and saw this
OMG they made a new manga for Yu-Gi-OH set in between after Battle City and before the Pharaoh Memory World Arc so I decided to buy.I'm so a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh ahaha XD

I went there again today cause my mum told me to go with my sister since she did not know much about applying to Universities.She's a graduating diploma student she should know more than me don't tell me yo spend your days in KLIUC just studying Nabila ^^" I'm a foundation student and I know a lot more. Before I went there I heard that our Taylor's Asaban Fest got featured in The Star's Otakuzone from Yun so I after helping my sister I went to buy the paper XD the trip was worth it after all since my dad buys NST on sundays for some reason instead of The Star that he buys every other day ^^"
Now here's a scan of the article for all of you that did not get the chance to read it XD
The big K-ON poster blocked my body ^^"

Thats all from me today.So until next time guys
さよなら

3rd Semester Schedule

Ignore BKA and ME those are "Bahasa Kebangsaan" and "Moral Education" . I don't take those subjects. Seriously compared to the first and second semester schedules this is really .... @_@
This semester I only have Wednesday that does not start at 8 a.m. and I never had a class after twelve on Fridays before now got a two hour lecture from 3-5 p.m. and its Statistics some more (<_<)
and I end so early on Mondays just 8-10 a.m. I guess after I'm done with Japanese Beginner 2 I would have to take Intermediate 1 on Tuesdays and Fridays instead of Mondays and Thursdays.I hope I can still get Mayanagi Sensei I have grown attached to her since she is my first Nihongo teacher =) or I might just stay on those days and stone at Taylor's for a very long time on Mondays @_@

Its Over

Its finally over..
The worst of it has passed for this semester.
And NOW its the HOLIDAYS.
Honestly I think I might have to retake Econs 1 next sem and its been bugging me but what passed can't be undone now so be it.I know have two weeks of holidays in front of me and I have no idea what to do hope I don't just rot away at home ahaha.
Man its going to be the third and hopefully my final semester soon as a TBF student.Can't believe time been flowing so fast and its already the third sem.Now I think while spending time having fun and playing around during the holidays I think I got to start considering whether to take IELTS or not and where to go after TBF stay at Tayloy's or some other universitiy hum choices choices ahaha.Well whatever I'l put that in my to do list but for now time to find some fun stuff to do maybe go and see the new Harry Potter movie cause I don't seem to have any other plans besides the Bon Odori trip this weekend.Anybody wants to hang out give me a call =)

The Calm before The Storm

The worst has past well that is what I wanted to say but no.

The waves of assignments and presentations is now finally over.The excel test yesterday was the last of it this semester and I want to know my marks so badly now.I know I did not do well in some of the assignments and nothing I can do about it.

Well the good point is it has all passed I can't believe the second semester passed through so fast. I remember when the first time I learned Accounting and Economics in Taylor's wow I was like okay how am I going to do this....
Now I have a period of calm where I have nothing else to do but study for the final exams that is coming in less than two weeks.I guest I'm going to have to fill my time in college in the library next week and listening test for English is also next week wish me luck for it and finals =)
I will be doing my best to get Distiction marks for finals I've been looking at a lot of Universities lately deciding where I will go next is really confusing ahaha.

Oh yeah yesterday we decided to celebrate Sheng and Danial's belated birthday during club meeting =) I was not feeling so good earlier don't know why I feel like collapsing earlier when I was playing at the cybercafe with Sheng and Danial.But felt a lot better after sleeping for a while at M-floor =) Thanks nick for helping buy the cake and Yun for buying the shirts for the two birthday boys I'l pay you my part next week after I get my allowance.This is the first time this year I was this broke.

The two birthday boys with their new T-Shirts

Sheng if you are really leaving Taylor's I wish you the best of lucks.Hope we can all still hang out sometimes even if you leave Taylor's.You have been a lot of help bro.If you ever need help in anything you can count on me to help you as long as it is within my abilities I will do it bro.

Now its back to my books.BB7 choose a bad time to be down I need some stuff from there.Oh well I will just do stuff based on notes and the textbooks for now.Next Monday I was supposedly not have any class but have to come to College for the Youtube video competition Price Giving Ceremony(My groups video did not get shortlisted that was expected XD ) I got Japanese at ICLS during that night anyway so might as well go to college in the morning and spend my time in the library.Okay thats all from me for tonight time to concentrate.I think I missed out on a few things but maybe I'l post those some other time =)

To be unable to do anything when you want to accomplish something,isn't that the most painfull.

YAKULT!!! & Finished B1

Today we went a field trip to Yakult most of my class went except for a few people.The Yakult Plant is located in Seremban 2 so had a long trip in the bus before we got there.Well the most interesting part of the trip was not actually at the yakult plant but in the bus while going there and back.Played around a lot ahaha and we also got to skip class that day XD

The group pic

Heres a download link to all the pics from danial's camera for those who wants to download
Yakult Field Trip Pics Download via Megaupload
Slideshow thanks to Danial

The various Yakult products they have a lot of stuff in Japan but just culture milk here in Malaysia.They even had cosmetics in Japan ahaha cosmetics full with bacteria XD.

Got some free samples while listening to their explanation about Yakult hum seems like suddenly we become Foundation in Science students ahaha

On the way back we stoped here to buy some Siew Pow.Don't know what that is or how it taste since I can't eat it but the others seem to like it a lot so I'l presume it tastes delicious :)

After we got back to Taylor's I went to the ECA centre to study there.I actually have my Japanese written exam for B1 at ICLS that night.Studied some of the sentence structures and some last minute cramming of the words in my head.Went to ICLS a little earlier than usual at 5 pm since was getting bored at the ECA and already had my dinner in Asia Cafe with some friends from ICPU they are going to graduate soon and going overseas ah going to miss you guys.I was first to be there ahaha of course being that early Mayanagi sensei was a little shocked when she went to class and I was already there XD Maggi came afterwards at around 5.30 and around 6.20 most of the class was already there.We started our exam at 7 until 8 I actually finished in just 20 minutes it was easier than expected then Mayanagi sensei gave me a kana crossword puzzle to fill my time with.After I done that I went outside for a while to buy a drink while waiting the others to finish.At 8 after everyone finished Mayanagi sensei let us watch some really funny doramas while she marked the papers.The only actor I recognised out the ones in the dorama was Matsumoto Jun from Arashi the others I never saw before.It was pretty funny.Then Mayanagi sensei came back after about 40 minutes and brought the good news we all passed XD She gave out the papers out and I got a grade A.Better yet I got 99% I was the best in class yeay.Next week I'l be a B2 student XD

Monbukagakusho (MEXT) Scholarship Exam

Today I went to take a test for MEXT scholarship.I applied for it sometime back and today was the exam.I was a social science student since I decided not to take engineering anymore >_< Had to take english,Mathematic A and Japanese A in the exam.Woke up early and studied a little bit more and went to the exam hall during the afternoon.By the time I reached the natural and physical science students that started during the morning was taking their lunch break.

Went to see popiah who was studying there and talked a little with her.Then I walked around a little to see the place cause registration for social science students has not opened yet.I went to look where I was going to sit and it was directly in front of the white board at the front talk about being up front ahaha.Then I walked around again and accidently meet Ling and Yinn.I was not aware they were taing this exam too ahaha.Asked them how was their exam earlier and seems they had a hard time with physics ganbare you girls will do find XD .Then went on to register for the exams.The guy at the counter asked each of us if we had a flu or anything so we could take the exam in a seperate room.Seems they were pretty cautius since swine flu had been breaking out around the world some of the people overseeing the exam also wears facemasks.

Then we went into the hall and they explained the process of the exam to us social science students sorry to the others since they had to waste time listening to the same thing they heard in the morning.Then we started with english.The level of the test was higher than I expected but I guess I did quite good in the test only had doubts on a few questions XD .Then the nighmare started after that it was Mathematic A .....

I was so frustrated if only this exam was a few months earlier while my math skills from Matriculation was still with me and had not rusted the questions won't have been that hard.Now on the other hand I had problems answering them but finaly got through all the questions somehow.Then it was Japanese A they told us before giving out the papers they had changed the format this year and the level is quite high.When it started I opened the paper and was stuned.The level was really high and full of kanji I could not read.Even the stuff I could read I don't know what I was reading so had no choice but to give up and leave the hall since they said if we could not do it we could leave the hall.Went out with some friends afterwards then I went home to take a rest been a very long and tiring day XD

ICLS

I've been going to Japanese classes recently XD .Always wanted to learn it formally just learned nihongo from books before ahaha.Thats what you get for staying in a boarding school for five years impossible to take outside school lessons >_<. Heres a pic of my language school

Heres a pic of my sensei.


What was she teaching again I can't seem to recall ahaha maybe it was how to tell the time by what she is holding :) .I already know most of the stuff she teaches from my self book and internet studying just felt like entering the beginner class so I can have a feel of what it's like learning nihongo from 0 and I'm sure even if I had 0 knowledge I would be able to learn pretty well here.The way mayanagi sensei teaches is pretty great.ICLS is a great language school I'm so happy I joined it.
