the past week
ok, so i’ve been doing some bloody catering to earn money since i’m not getting any allowance. anyways, the admissions dude from segi called and said that i was accepted and that the semester commences on april. i was like "wtbloodyfuck? " at the open day they said that it started in february. and now he says its starting on april. so i have to get a job, something more routine that catering which is based on orders. anyways, this week has been pretty productive, did catering 3 days, solo work. 3 meals, breakfast lunch afternoon tea at wisma allianz insurance near st. john’s church. 23 pax, so i could handle it alone. but the bloody driving sucked. anyways, there was a new security guard at that building (nepalese) which barely understood english or malay. and he thought i was a fellow nepalese. must be the nose. lol.
anyways, i’m reconsidering my options. still wanna go to the uk. maybe 2nd choice would be swinburne or curtin. both in sarawak. foreign universities branch campus. in malaysia there are only 4. monash, nottingham, curtin and swinburne. monash and nottingham is bloody expensive although they are highly ranked in the world ratings. curtin and swinburne aint bad, as recognized as the aussie campus, can transfer to the aussie campus oso. cos the course that i applied for at segi is a uk degree. a franchise degree. which might not hold as much weight compared to the other options. and the university of sunderland isnt really highly rated. anyways, in mechanical engineering what potential employers look for are the mechanical engineering departments of the respective tertiary institutions. and being a franchise college, it wont be as complete as one from a full fledged uni. my plan is to apply to go to the uk, if i get accepted go apply for a loan from mara, if i dont get the loan i’ll go to swinburne/curtin. segi is the last choice. i think. the problem is, swinburne starts in february. curtin not sure when. so maybe enroll in swinburne september semester if i havent gone anywhere else. the most stable choice is segi. its near the house in kota damansara, i wont have to get used to the environment, and i can establish more of a base. and i get to use a car. for the uk, its a stab in the dark, but the exposure and change of environment would hopefully fulfill my potential. curtin and sarawak would cost more since its a year longer than segi and i have to pay for accomodations and other stuff. the cost/year is marginally more expensive compared to segi. no transportation either. hurm.
i dont want to make a choice that i’m gonna regret. which is main problem. i’m tired of ‘going with the flow’
