Item 24

Hmm.

Cakap pasal IPTA.

Jujur aku cakap, kenapa majoriti yang tak dapat tu act macam IPTA tu segala-galanya?

Sure, the fees are cheaper. 

FYI, majoriti dak yang blaja kat IPTS tu anak orang biasa jek. 

Bebeh, what's the use of PTPTPU? 

At least you'll appreciate and work harder coz u know u're the one who's paying lots of money for ur studies. 

Se lagi, just because it's IPTA, tak bermakna mende yg diajar kat IPTA tu sangat curlast and IPTS pulak hina silibus dier. 

Maybe orang akan kate aku dengki sebab aku tak dapat IPTA (hey, I'm the one who choose to stop school/doing my dip. who knows where i would be today if i were to continue - haa, kan da riak lagi takbur seketika kekeke XD), tapi ada jek orang sekeliling aku kat UNiSEL tu yang terlebih layak masuk IPTA, tapi dorang datang UNiSEL atas kehendak sendiri.

Contoh? My ex-housemate. Grad dip engi poli. And all of us know that poli's grads senang giler nak dapat tempat kat IPTA.

My one and only roommate - dapat gak UiTM n USM if i'm not mistaken, tapi last2 masuk IPTS jugak.

Mende2 ni sebenarnye atas diri sendiri jek.

I notice that some people punye mentaliti memang narrow giler.

Se lagi masalahnye adelah kebanyakan orang just nampak satu jalan jek, minda tak tercapai nak tengok kat arah lain.

Critical thinking aku takdela bagus, tapi at least aku reti jugak la nak compare n contrast n buat my own judgment.

Do some research. 

It's not that hard with today's tech.

Sure, tak salah mengharap untuk keputusan rayuan.

And boy u're so wrong to say that pengambilan ujung tahun tak brapa kompetitif tu.

So so wrong.

Tapi kan, apelah salahnye sekiranye sambil2 tunggu keputusan rayuan tu, buat backup plan dengan cari tempat lain untuk study (kalau still ada rasa nak stadi la, if not, up to u).

It's not that I'm saying that you'll failed to attain the place, it's just that one have to be prepared for this thing u know.

Let me say this, kalau macam kat UNiSEL, you only need to either work and save about 2k (or ask from family, of course), and after that you can make do with the amount u receive from PTPTPU (not applicable for engi students tho, their fees are too high XD).

My housemate is like that. 

Setiap kali cuti semester dier akan kerja untuk kumpul duit untuk survive sampai PTPTPU masuk.

Dier belajar, makan minum semua sepanjang satu sem semua dier guna PTPTPU pastu.

Tapi kalau anda jenis yang suke nak tukar henpon/laptop/beli basikal mahal/bawak transport pastu member tumpang tak pernah bayo minyak/shopping baju, kasut, henbeg memanjang/nak makan sedap sokmo, memang takleh nak buat la kan.

Ok, ni aku tak tuju khas kat sesape.

Just my feeling after reading countless comments by my acquaintances @ FB.

To be frank, I have no idea how many of my oh, well, used-to-be good friends got into USM/other IPTAs.

Coz the ones I bothered enough to ask didn't even reply.

Ah, what a sad, pathetic life I'm having eh? haha :P

Oh well. I'll stop here.

Harap takde yang terasa hati, jantung, 
maupun paru-paru dengan entri ini. ( ｡･_･｡)人(｡･_･｡ )

Just my honest opinion based on my own experience.
And I sincerely pray for you guys happiness, and happiness is subjective ne :)

P.S. I did apply for UPU using my STPM, but no luck. So don't even dare to say that I don't understand how you guys are feeling.

Sekian.
