Valorous Halcyon

Hey, bloggers!!! It has been a week since the very last time i written my last post, and i'm sorry for neglected everyone, dearest blog, and the long hiatus. Since i am being demanded/ordered by starlover and baby tiger, i have to update this blog. Actually, i have encountered lots of events throughout this whole week, but yet i don't have the mood to write them down, albeit i do really wish to. I don't know what had happened to me, maybe i have being too busy for these few days, trying my best to finish essays, resume and scholarships' applications. On the past 22 March, I found out that PNB Overseas Scholarships is actually opened to non-Bumiputra starting from this year onward due to the result of 1Malaysia policy. Before this, I printed out the application form but didn't fill it as from my friends' mouth, i knew it was only opened to Bumiputra. Hence, i was not really rush to applying it, but since my mom kept on pestering me to fill up the form, i have t...

Oh, almost forget about one problem that i faced during JPA scholarship application a week ago. If i'm not mistaken, on last Friday, when i filled in JPA scholarship application form by online, I found out that the third column at the Sports activities/achievements kept on appearing as "TIADA". But in fact, i have chose "Lain-lain" as my choice. So, i had to amend it back into "Lain-lain" but it was futile. After altered it for three times, I was blocked by the JPA's technical system and i can't update anything by that time. I felt terrifying by that time and don't know what to do. Luckily, on last Saturday, my fifth aunt from Kuala Kangsar came to my house as she had something to do with the Ministry of Education in Putrajaya. She is a principal in one of the primary schools in Kuala Kangsar for your information. So, i may go along with my mom and aunt as well to JPA office in Putrajaya. So, on this past Monday, my mom took a leave and b...

Well, just wanna share with you all, the things that i have encountered when i was applying for JPA scholarship for the very first time in my life. As usual, i filled in the JPA scholarship application form that i found from Esila website. Just as i have filled in most of the info needed in the form, suddenly my main problems unearthed. Which course should i choose??? When i browse through the list of minimum requirement for every course in JPA/Mara, abruptly my eyes caught on my dream course, Actuarial Science. Everything seemed normal, but when i seen the sponsor for this course was only Mara, my heart started to be fragile. I can't really believed it, and so i read the FAQ of JPA PILN 2010. When this question and answer (as below) appeared in front of my eyes, my hopes totally broken into pieces. =( 22. Kenapa bidang Sains Aktuari tidak ditawarkan di bawah PILN 2010? Bidang Sains Aktuari tidak lagi ditawarkan untuk ke luar negara kerana bidang tersebut tidak lagi tergolong da...

Wow, can't believe i have neglected my lovely blog for such a long time, even though everyday facing the computer. For now, i guess i'm facing some complications for scholarships application, which are the Shell Scholarship, Sime Darby Scholarship and Security Commission (SC) Scholarship. Ironically, three of them start with the letter "S". Funny, isn't it? Haha... okay, i better stop laughing before someone say i'm a weirdo. Well, what're the problems? After leaving high school for over 4 months, my writing skills seriously deteriorate days by days, and yet the Sime Darby Scholarship and SC Scholarship need the applicants to write essays. Wonderful. For the Sime Darby Scholarship, the closing date for it still one week away. No worries, but for the SC scholarship, it's just 4 days left from the closing date. The worst part is that applicants need to write the essay by handwritten. Gosh, that means i can't use my laptop to write it, which practical...

Yeah, that's the most frequent thing i did for these few days; Hunting for scholarships, filling in and summiting the application forms, photocopying all the certificates and important documents, and praying hard for being called up in the interview. For now, i have applied quite a numbers of scholarships, just set up for the back up plans. I have successfully applied for JPA [Science(Maths)], BNM(Actuarial Science and Maths), Khazanah(Actuarial science, Maths, and Statistics), Telekom scholarship(Accounting), Yayasan Tenaga National(Accounting), UEM Group Scholarship(Finance) and Asean Scholarship. At this moment, i have filled in application for Petronas Scholarship(Economics, Finance and Accounting) but then i haven't pay for the numbers yet. I think tomorrow my mom will help me to pay 20 bucks for that application, no worries. And i'm still filling Shell, Sime Darby, Security Comission and three of them are indeed quite complicated and troublesome at the mean time. Stil...

*Mr.Raymond Lai, Immediate Past President of Actuarial Society of Malaysia(ASM)*  Wow, till now I couldn't believe that I have this precious opportunity to attend a talk in Inti College, Subang Jaya yesterday, and the title was "Actuarial Science: Unemployment? Oversupply? by Mr Raymond Lai, immediate past president of the Actuarial Society of Malaysia, Appointed Actuary by Bank Negara, and also Fellow of Societies of Actuary(FSA), US. What a long title, and I really really appreciate the talk by Mr Raymond Lai. I never thought that I would have this chance on meeting Mr Raymond, but after persuaded my mom of transporting me there for a few days, fortunately my mom gave me the green light and brought me to Inti College Subang Jaya in that afternoon. The talk started at 1.30pm and ended at 2.30pm, and the one hour time was really a unforgettable experience for me. For Mr Raymond Lai's path to be an actuary, he gained his Bachelor in Science (Mathematics) and self-stud...

Hey, finally i got back my mood to update this blog after days of neglecting it. Thanks to nodame, cause she gave me the mood to update this blog. I really sorry for the hiatus, the days that i didn't update the blog seemed like years, and my hand got itchy as time passed. I can't really leaves my blog, i guess. As the hot cakes now, everyone are talking about their SPM'09 results and at the mean time, hunting for various scholarships and hope to be called up for interview. Personally, i believes most of my friends have already know about my result. For those who still don't know, I have achieved 6A+ (Maths, Add Maths, Physics, Principles of Account, History and Moral) and 4A (BM, BI, Chemistry and Biology). Albeit the result i have achieved was slightly out of my anticipation, but yet i still feel really happy and satisfied with it. It's still string of As by the way. In fact, it was considered as 10A1 according to the previous grading system. I really wished to th...
