1 year off after pre-u.

epos127 — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 20:18:39 +0800

I've decided to take a year off after my pre-u programme.
I actually thought of joining organizations like AFS, or any similar programme. There's one I heard where you go overseas to become a nanny. Can't remember the organization, because I saw it on newspaper few years ago..

And does joining these programmes like this helps when I apply for university?
So do u guys have any idea about these programmes?
That you don't have to pay much, and you get earn money in return.
Oh yea, if there's any activity to do to boost my probability of getting into good uni, please tell me so. Thank you so much! <3

p/s: or maybe advice on whether i shud take a year off or not? i neeeeed advices. lost and fickle-minded, i know. T.T

Studying in the USA

I know USA have a different system than the rest. But people have been telling A-Level is the passport to everywhere, provided that your result is stunning. LOL

So yea, how do you go to USA if you're taking A-Level?

Choosing Subjects for A-Level

epos127 — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 18:58:39 +0800

I'm considering studying Law, Pharmacy or Econ/Finance-related degree after I've finished my A-Level.

And now I don't know what subject I should take in A-Level because Law, Econ are not related to Pharmacy.
My teacher told me that taking science would be the better choice, as in I still can convert to Arts stream after A-Level, but she also told me that if I wanna continue in Arts stream, the university might not choose me over other Arts stream student because I don't have Law or Econ foundation.

So now I'm struggling between:
1. Maths + Law + Econ
2. Maths + Bio + Chem
3. Maths + Bio + Chem + Phy (Does taking this combination brings me any advantage? Even my future career won't relate to it)

p/s: She told me that taking Phy would be a credit if I wanna continue my degree in Law. Is that true? Because I'm really weak in Physic.
p/p/s: Oh yeah, which of the profession above can get me a Australia PR? I meant higher chance in getting a Australia PR. LOL =X

Is it possible to get a scholarship if..

Is it possible to get a scholarship if you paid yourself to college.
Well, I screwed my SPM and there's no scholarship-hope to me. But my parents agreed to lemme go to college and get my Pre-U course done.
Then I was wondering if I get flying color results in my Pre-U studies, is it possible for me to apply for scholarship and get it? Do they really consider your family finance status or it just based on your academic performance? Because my friend told me they care nothing other than your result?!!!

p/s: I'm sorry for my broken English. LOL

SK-II Products for Teens?

epos127 — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 07:40:03 +0800

My mom just bought SK-II products for me and I was really worried as people always said SK-II products are for matured skin. (You get what I meant?!)

Now I've been using it for 1 week and there really isn't any side effects but I found two freckles on my cheek but I'm not sure whether it does related to products of SK-II?!!!

BTW, I'm using SK-II cleanser, Aqua Physics, Aqua Physics Serum and Facial Treatment Essence.

p/s: 18yo btw.

A-Levels or SAM?

epos127 — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 02:44:16 +0800

Like most people, I'm clueless of what I want to study.
I've wide range of interest, I've thought about taking Law, Business, Mass Comm, some science-related subject(not engineering) and Psychology.
I'm now struggling between SAM and A-Levels. One of my senior told me that A-Levels is really hard and you have to study super super hard to achieve good result, and I'm not these kinda person.
Why not SAM? Because Australia is not my first choice to further my studies. My desired one is UK. My mom's close friend stayed there and she said she'll let me live with her for free. So yeahh..
So yeah.. SAM or A-Levels?
And if I do take A Levels, what subject shall I take if I wanted to focus on either Law, Business, Mass Comm or Psychology?

p/s: Jan intake and March intake of A-Levels of Taylor's college ends at the same time. Does it means that March intake students have to catch up what Jan intake students have learned? Isn't it unfair?

Thanks for the reply everybody. I think I'm taking A-Levels! heh
But a new problem aroused.
INTI, Taylor or HELP is better college?
I think I'm taking Law, Econ and Business Studies. lol xDD
I'm quite determined to go to Taylor's but my friends keep telling me the lecturers there sucks. So I wanted to get some opinions from you guys instead of just listening to them. lol

p/s: I'm just asking for opinions. That doesn't mean that I'll follow whatever you told me. Please don't pm me to tell how dumb is it to rely on others' advices for my future. I really don't think it's stupid to ask about questions like this. It's better than to do nothing. :]
