Study Trip- Australia Part 1

I am so excited because I am going to Australia!
I am so excited because this is the first time I go by myself. Teehee
I am so excited because I am going to have a new starts.
I am so excited because I am going to visit my University!

This time I am going to Adelaide, South Australia.
I got the offer from University of South Australia.

 

Here we go!

Actually my mum recommend me to go Australia for further studies.

The reasons she told me was that..

1.Weather is good.

2.enough sunshine

3.Not as far as UK, USA and Canada.

 

But then how come all the buildings so retro ?

As I wrote in my previous post that I prefer twinning course and not directly abroad. However, I have no choice but just to go abroad. (for my reasons you can check out here http://stella-friday.blogspot.com/2013/10/what-i-have-been-up-to-lately-p.html )

 

Some people might ask me why not you change your Major? Maybe choose Nutrion, biomed or even foods science.

The only answer I can give is that because I have tried hard and work hard to archieve this so yeah just wanna give it a try

 

Actually, I have considered UK pharmacy programme because it is a LITTLE BIT cheaper and the programme's contents are easier.

Australia's much more expansive and harder.

 

I compared the credit hours from UK system and Australia system.

I was shock with the results.

Actually I used my friend's results ( who took UK system) and sent it to the UniSA (short form of University of South Australia).

UniSA didnt accept the credit hours becuase one year's contents not even cover one sem's content in UniSA!

 

The other thing that I was confused was that.. UniSA is not in the world's ranking and Cardiff (which my friend study in UK) is in the world's ranking Top 115-150 list.

Isn't that funny? A Uni with more contents should have higher ranking then those which have less content, right?

 

 

Anyway, I am going to Australia for a study trip on November.

Ermmm.. what things can I bring?

My clothes are still in Kuala Lumpur yet I have no clothes with me now

 

My friend putting his clothes in his friend's house so I can tumpang (make use of it) also.

But then if I choose UK at the end ?? then I have to fly to Australia again?

 

Never mind no matter how I still need two super huge luggage

Then we saw this pretty nice luggage in Jusco!

This new babe born in dark blue. 

I will introduce this first but I might use my other luggage in Kuala Lumpur.

This is made from polycarbonate.

I think it's a China brand.

I havent use this brand before so I have no comment on it.

But then from the apperance it looks pretty well with shiny surface and solid still.

Okay, so the shiny surface is just a nice look because the time you send it into the cargo. Most of the workers will throw your luggage and the pretty shiny surface will have scar on it. Teehee

However, this intimate company designed a cover for this luggage! what a wonderful details right?

 

So it stated that Polycarbonate and super light weight 100% somemore Lol.

Between, do you guys know how to choose a luggage? (honestly I am not a professional too LOL )

I think the most important are the tire, hardness, handle and zip.

The size of the luggage will depence on your situations.

If you are a businessman that need to travel often then obviously the small is better but for me, student, definately a big one that can squeeze in my whole wardrobe..kidding*

This is the interior .

I still havent decide what I will bring...erm...

 

What I have been up to lately :p

Hello guys, I have been searching for my future for months!

What I mean by my future? Teehee at my age definitely is  my studies.
I have been waiting for my new chapter for months since December, I graduated from my pre-U.
Unfortunately, the lousy Uni "SEGI" cancelled the Pharmacy course in the very last minute.
For those, who is taking or going to take or already graduated from Pharmacy should  know that in every country there is only one intake per year.

Okay, I will have my story written here
To all the students or to those still looking for University,

I have never ever been to this situation or issued before.
I registered for my Pharmacy course in Segi University February 2013 (if I am not mistaken).
After I registered, I went for several trip to Kuala Lumpur (about 3 to 4 hours journey from my place)
I searched for my accommodation, paid for the deposit and moved my things up.
Further, I introduced this lousy University to one of my best friends ( I am really sorry for that Ting).

Okay above is still normal and in my "Tahan" range (tolerate range).
The worst thing I got from them is that they cncelled the course and don't even call and pick up my phone!!!!
As I know they cancelled the course on July which I HAVE BEEN CALLING THEM SINCE MAY!
If they have told me earlier I can apply to UK or other University in Malaysia!
Because of this lousy University I have missed the UK 2014 intake and rush for the Australia's 2014 intake!
All they can reply for me was that they are going to pay me back with the 500 MYR registration fee!
F**K , hey I don't your money and hereby I want to all my readers know that please don't choose this SEGI University even though there is no more University.

 

Next, is my Malaysia government's regulations.

I love Malaysia but not my government and those regulations!!!!!

First of all, I would like to ask whether a student who wants to take twinning programme to UK needs a BAHASA MALAYSIA?

I know I am a Malaysian. I know every Malaysian needs to know Bahasa Malaysia but do I need to complete this before I go oversea? That's the problem !?

 

I wrote a appeal letter to the so-called Malaysia Pharmacy Board. They gave a great answer regarding to my questions!

1. I ask whether I can replace my SPM BAHASA MALAYSIA to BKA (one of the Bahasa Malaysia course in University.)

2. I asked whether I can register as a pharmacist in Malaysia once I graduated from the twinning programme.

 

I am not sure whether they don't understand my questions written in English.

I waited for my reply for almost 3 weeks with 30 workers working in this Pharmacy deparment with lousy attitude.

1. They replied that I can join Taylor's Pharmacy course ( I would say that this is abit funny because the University accepted me and I don't apply to any ptptn so do I need their permission to enter !!

 

Moreover, they allow me to enter the course but then if I failed my SPM Bahasa Malaysia then I will need to withdraw from the course and no fees refund. ("clever" leh their replied!) Applause!!! 

 

Malaysia, I hopes you have a good future with these bunch of workers and "excellent" thinkers!
