Di Sini Untuk Selama-Lamanya...

Salam and Hye everyone...

Yeyy SAM is (almost) over~ huhu..
So... Just want to say a few stuff~
**Warning!! This post is very the long... haha**

1st - Apologize~
ok.. so first I would like to say I forgive all of u... I know you've done a lot of bad things to me~ Haha~
Next, I would like to also say sorry to everyone... ( even though I'm nice... right?? )
- Sorry for all the misused words, which is actually the leftovers from my school days... hehe
- Sorry for all the "praises" that sounded like "insults" but actually it was meant to be a "compliment"
- Sorry if I ever screwed up anything in our class
- Sorry if I'm not really a great helper or supporter etc.

2nd - Sharing session ( bak kate Miss Ng )
So when I first entered J4... I was like "not again~!! girl class??" ( I've been placed in a class where girl is the majority since form 3 ).. but then again its not a big of deal though... I could always do something else to find entertainment ( sleep of course!! )

So now you'll be expecting me to write something like "But, all of you are different.. all of you are special... bla bla" right? Yeah RIGHT!! Lepak lepak...

Ok lah, I'll say something good about you girls... What good is that all of you mudah dibuli.. haha~!! No lah... I'm just saying this to get on your nerve~ hehe.. sape sape yg marah skrg ne termasuklah golongan yg mudah dibuli tu.. haha...

Papepon... In the end all of you are great NAKAMA ~ there are countless times where each and everyone of you has helped me throughout SAM both directly and indirectly... All of you never failed to amaze me wether in be in religion, academics, weirdness, oral presentation, discussion etc... To be honest I really see a group of people who will one day become successfull in life~ yeah!!

Most of all, watching all of you so great... has really pumped me up to not lose to all of you~!! haha... I'll never want to lose to girl!! Kalah ngan Donny ke Naseh ke Zul ke Faiz ke tak pe lg.. :)

Oh one more thing.. If I seemed like sometimes spacing out.. that's because I really dont like "girl's stuff" like fashion, movies ( about hot guys ) and I dont intend to forcing myself to like them in front of you all :P

Anyway, just to make thing strait.. I really dun hate anyone in J4 nor do I regret entering J4~ if I do why would I bother making this blog, teacher's day video and all?? I just dun want to show that I'm sad that it's over... no... I'm not crying.. baka!! I'm not crying!!


3rd - Finals!!
Well gud luck for finals everyone... work hard, pray honestly and may success be yours!!
If I'm allow to give some piece of my own personal advice on facing finals...
-I would say "Yakin Boleh!!"
-Have confidence when you study... have confidence you will understand it, you will memorize it!!
-Have confidence when answering question no matter how hard it seems... take pride in your brain, believe in that little guy will be able to find an answer, it just might take some time thinking or it might need to think the other way round~ A confident brain works way better than a scared brain~ espacially during exams... :)
-Instead of thinking how scary it is that we will be ranked with the whole world... Try to think of it as challenging and time to show what you can do to the world~!!
-Instead of thinking what if I fail... Try thinking what if I succeed!!

I know everytime I tell stuff like these... people will say "org bijak boleh ar yakin"
Well... I'm not interested in debating that right now... nak terima, terima, tak nak sudah!!

People used to tell me... dont be overconfident because later you will kecewa dgn sgt teruk... true, but for me I'm not scared of being "kecewa" bcoz... I have Allah and Islam that make sure that I will not do something stupid~ :)

All in all, just a matter of personal opinion and advice... terima atau tidak... up to u~!!


4- Finally..
I just finished went through the pic in the dvd.. Nice pics.. but why is it my picture always with weird pose ?!! (who's to blame?) haha... joking joking...

And I hope everyone will enjoy the Teacher's day video "Our Mentor: Miss Ng" again... If I have to say.. Personally, that's my PEBERET video that I've ever produced... The dedication to Miss Ng that you all did were very great...that upon looking at them straight away I got an idea on how to present the video, what music to put and all... It's very inspiring.. (it's like a msg from all of us from overseas to Miss Ng.. hehe)

*Oh and Hani's part is not purposely did like that... I SWEAR the video that I got suddenly stopped there... so I have to put something to cover up... sorry Hani~ hehe

And those words that I say about the share one sky and all that crap.. Those were actually extracted from SHIN CHAN in a very sad episode when Dr. Tokuro died... :( and also from one of my fauvarite game, Kingdom Hearts~ but it's really something I would like to say to everyone and I hope you understand the meaning behind it ( ceh.. sentimental la plak... nyampah aku!! )

And the ending song.. Now and Forever by Richard Marx... I choose that not bcoz it's a jiwang song... but the lyrics I think suit it very well...
We are Miss Ng mantees, Now and Forever
She is our mentor, Now and Forever,
We are nakama! Now and Forever!!

For me, that video alone summarizes all the memories I have with J4 and thx for that video (wait, that's me.. thanks to me!! haha.. ok lah and thanks to all of you for the ideas and great footage)

To end, allow me to quote from my peberet author Eiichiro Oda , the author of ONE PIECE!!

Farewell to the harbour
To my old hometown
Let's all sing out with a don
As the ship set sail
As we all set sail to
The end of the sea

Going to deliver Bink's sake
Today, and Tomorrow, Our dreams through the night
Waving our Goodbyes, We'll never meet again
But don't look so down,
FOR AT NIGHT THE MOON WILL RISE~

It's actually a song by Oda... I think the lyrics fit well... orait.. Salam everyone~ Gud Luck!!

ALL THE BEST!!!! :-)

working very very very hard
with a goal plastered in the great mind.
we shall finish what we have started last July.

Dearest J4.

its about tyme that i get emotional and sum up a quick piece of writing dedicated to all of you.
I'll be brief.

I just wanna say that each and everyone of you means alot to me in a way that you may not at all understand. Each and everyone of you guys have left a somewhat important 'message' in my heart that i know from time to time, when hani termenung.. i will for sure remember and laugh and smile.

You all are the best people i can ask from God, as friends. i may never know what you guys feel of me, but one thing for sure.. i know that i love you all with all my heart. please be clear of that.

i love you guys cuz you all are a bunch of amazing people. with such interesting and marvelling dreams and ambitions that i dont think i can count by fingers. all of you rock your own world

this is waht i mean by 'different' and 'interesting'
:P

and are not scared to be different.

"When the goings gets tough, the tough gets going..."

You all play an important role in J4 in one way or another. Amazing to see the unity that we have built on through this one year and a half journey together. i'd recall our tyme together that we laugh, we cried, and we celebrated. i will miss all that.

ain is thinking: 'studylah hani... tak dak kerja'

To sign off, allow me to apologize for all my wrongdoings and i wish the best of luck to you all for this finals. lets get through it as a team. J4. i am very confident that you guys will ACE this final round of SAM. WE CAN DO IT!!!

BEST WISHES again!!!!
with lots and lots of love.

welc0me to NZ (h0pefully)...

firstly, is out webpage backround white like that? all hani's writing are yellow..i had a hard time screwing my eyes reading the blazing yell0w words..i swear i have wrinkles on my forehead n0w..

i went to car0l last friday..n dis is what she told me (based on my questions)

1. please submit your IELTS results.eventhough you r retaking, just send the current one..just make sure u send the latest IELTS results as soon as u get it..

2. don't grieve on ur mid year result (like me)..just f0cus on the coming trial..that's the f0recast they r going to use to shortlisted us for interview..

3. i asked a medical senior in auckland about intvw n the essay..she said u can expect the intvw - the sacred question 'y u want to be a doc', y auckland (y not eyh), and all the y's..they juz love the why queston..the panel is the dean from the medical school..wohoo..
everything is just about YOU,YOU, n YOU..they didn't ask bout medical stuff pun (during her time lah)..
n she doesn't have any idea about the essay..she didn't have to do any essay pun dulu..(g0sh)

4. but carol said the essay can be anything..she also never see the questions though..

5. so far u all r safe..selset have ur feedback letter from auckland - except for me and ridzuan..
we r the victims of clerical work..we have to contact auckland for our netID n password ourselves (dats not ur problem)..i'm just babling here..uhukk

6. urm, pe lagi ah..uh, otago closed its application for international students..they have to give priority to their own nations..(the maories i guess)..kalau yg boleh pegi pun only 7 students from KMB n 3 from JPA (coz they have perjanjian)..

well then, i guess that's all kut..sakit mata la..nak tido lah..
gud luck frens~

Application to Other Countries

Application to other countries (medicine)

Hai people. I hope that all of you are well. I did some calling and research. I would like to share. As most of us are going through a hard time to secure a spot in Australia, these are some other options that we may look into. I am only sharing. I am not urging or forcing you all to apply. Just want all of us to be readily informed of the back up plans and make a better option.

Application for Medicine to UK

Agent: MABECS (Malaysian British Educational Co-operation Sercives)
2nd Floor, 9 Jalan Barat
46200 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Tel no: 03- 79567655/439
www.mabecs.com

I gave them a call. Before explaining to me about anything, the person on the phone warned my about what it is that I am about to go through. She said that the likeliness that we will get the offer is nearly ZERO. Reason is because SAM is a one year program. All UK universities look at a program that is at least 1.5 years. That is why IB or A-Levels students are better MORE priority. Even some of the very good students with really good A-levels/STPM results, they do not get the offer.. what more SAM students. So this is the warning that I would to share with you all. But, it should not mean that you are totally prohibited from applying.

Please also be clear that some of the universities have interviews oversees and so, you have to pay the flight ticket. But you can always choose universities that have local interviews. If I am not mistaken, the fee is per university that you pick. They also have these so call tests UKCAT and BMAT (differ by universities). Again, aptitude+critical+quatitive kind of thing.

Onto the process of applying for the university enrollment for year 2009, please attend these talks next week. It is at these talks that they would go through practically everything from application UCAS, requirements per university, IELTS to Q&A session. Plus they will hand out the latest brochures and pamphlets. SOMEONE MUST attend this talk and ask on behalf of our class, SAM students. Please. At least 1 PERSON. These are the details of the talks:

Talk on OXBRIDGE (anyone who are specifically interested in applying Cambridge or Oxford)
Date: MONDAY, 2 JUN
Time: 3.00 pm
Venue: LT2

Talk on Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Biomedical, Biotechnology
Date: WEDNESDAY, 4 JUN
Time: 3.00 pm
Venue: LT2

I do have the whole timetable of the UCAS dates, counseling sessions etc. you can also get a copy at placement centre.

Application for Medicine to IRELAND

Agent:
Aedumus Consultancy,
Suite 5.18, Level 5 (North Block),
The Amp Walk, 218,
Jalan Ampang,
50450 Kuala Lumpur
Tel no: 03-21632302
www.iumc.com.my

This agent only offers 4 Ireland universities.
- National University of Ireland
- University College, Cork
- Trinity College, Dublin
- University College, Dublin

The fee for the application is RM150 ringgit only. There is no additional fee per university. I do not know anything about the interview etc. but I do know that they of course would have it. I don’t think that they have any aptitude tests etc. The application is only open sometime in December 2008. (omg.. I think this is what they said.. but I know that it is at the end of this year. Sorry bout that) You cannot put in your application now but only then in December. I asked what is the likeliness that SAM students would get the offer. The person said that up till now, none of the students got the offer as they only managed a TER of 70 sumtin or 80 sumtin. BUT if we can get a TER of 95 and above.. plus we are all-rounded etc. There is a possibility we can get it. The university will only accept SAM students on one to one basis. Special cases lah in other words.
The blowing fact is that.. similar o UK.. the intake will only start sometime in September 2009. So.. you waste like 9 months, practically doing nothing. Take up a course or something.

Application to International Medical University (IMU), Bukit Jalil

Me and Donny made the extra effort dengan semangat yang membara, to go to IMU by LRT. We paid a personal visit and it was worth it. We got some brochure that is full of infos. People, you either go online and get the info or you can wait until college starts to get a look at the brochure.

IMU offers two programs which are local and twinning with 26 universities (aussie ada, UK ada, US ada, Ireland ada). I only want to talk about the twinning program. You all go online lah… and check the website out. Borang application pun ada tau. Make the effort people. Nanti balik college, ask lah apa2. Anyways, the application will only start when we do get our FORECAST. Okay.. so we have plenty of time. can I just talk about it when we are back in college. Because this one is abit too long too explain in great detail and I think I will be too tired to type it. But abit of info. No need of MUET. And they need an IELTS of 7. No components should be below 7. 500 ppl applied, they want only 140 for twinning. 80 local. Other info’s later.

Application for Medicine to Otago NZ

This is a scandalous and problematic application. I will explain in class, someday.

My personal comment

I feel that we need to have a class discussion where everyone should share whateva info they have. (but if you still want to keep some of the infos to yourself, up to you. your rights.. as they cliché- ey say it) and why not we have an AGENT per application. Would not that be a form of delegation of job. We can even compile infos about interviews. ALL people should make the effort to search about application to local universities like the PEnang Medical College, India, Manipal, Cyberjaya, Indon twinning etc. IF everyone selidik sama sama, then we can make a better choice and prevent what had happen for our MONASH application, painful tak? Think that I am over-reacting about not being able to fly? .. no I am not. This is merely being logic+realistic. This is our future and we need to secure it. Can we please work together…help one another.

As the malay proverb states,

Berat sama dipikul
Ringan sama dijinjing

All are matters of opinion. And I apologize if I am a bit too outspoken or hurt anyone directly or indirectly. Don’t mean to do. Seriously.

Hani
“Your classmate yang sangat concerned with our future.”
