Fickle minded burgers.

Majority of my friends are taking A-Levels at MCKL.

Frankly, I don't want to take A-Levels, I'd rather go straight to a Foundation course.

After a few days thinking intensely about it, I've chosen either Business or Communications. The thought of having the same job description for the rest of my life still scares the heck out of me.

However, I have some self-proclaimed terms and conditions.

I don't want to start in January. (I have numerous to-dos up my sleeves) My parents (mom in particular) think my events are highly UNproductive, negative 10 points to their mood.

I want to study abroad because I'd like to find out what is the best, most effective (and maybe least harmful to my virgin fingers) dishwasher brand is out there or how rapacious a landlady can get. As long as I'm grounded in BolehLand, there's my 'kakak' and parents to handle such affairs.

But because I'm not born with a gold, diamond-studded spoon (I'd only rate myself as a bronze), my parents are not willing to 'splurge' on my tertiary education. That means, my chances of studying abroad are limited to 1+2 or 2+1 degree courses. Here's the but, my parents aren't exactly convinced on how an international institution differs from a local one, so they made a decision (a very strong one) to only let me use my jetpacks for 1 year and the fuel shouldn't last me any further than Australia. "Unless I secure a scholarship", they muttered uncertainly.

Then, I found out about American Degree Transfer Programs, which really got me excited for a moment, until I found out why not many Boleh-ians opt for it. The main reason? $$$. I know, very potong stim. "Got hope lah", I told myself. "Just need to study kao kao.." But that actually means I have to take A-Levels.

Which brings me back to square one, scholarships for A-Levels.
At Sunway or Taylor's, one has to obtain 9A+ for a full waiver in Pre U studies. I'm talking A pluses! Sigh, no wonder my parents were sceptical.

But at MCKL, I only need an 8A+ or 8A to get a 100% waiver in tuition fees. (Arts only)

I just found out, I have really smart friends who are five steps ahead.

and now I know why my parents don't want to get me my Supreme McChicken Burger from McDonald's.

Precisely why I should get my driver's license.

Double precisely why my parents should have did 'it' earlier.

*It* referring to making love.

This post is just a rant due to the lack of human communication. Just a reminder, 3 days to Sijil Penilaian Menengah. Have fun studying at the 72th hour (literally speaking).

Hey Sue, I just saw this post. Naiseee. One question: Isn't it redundant to be doing A-Levels than ADP? Coz you have to do SATs in ADP, and SATs is equivalent to A levels, No? Correct me if I'm wrong. LOVES!

Erh yeah, I just found out I wrote something dumb HAHAHAHAH. It was supposed to be 'ADP OR I have to take A-levels.' Sorry, I must have been pretty dumb at that time.
Double loves.
