A Level

Okay, as I promised to talk about my decision on tertiary studies in the previous post, here you go!

1. What course? - A Level Arts (Pre-Law)
>>It's so called pre-law because I'm taking TWO subjects only. Actually it was supposed to start in June but then I chose March intake because I think I can have more time to prepare and I get to separate my papers in 2 terms, which means less stress. For instance, law has a total of 4 papers. Since I'm in March intake, I'll take paper 1 & 2 in Nov 08 (AS) while the others in June 09 (A2). But for June intake, they'll have to take all 4 papers one shot in June 09. (!!!)

2. Subjects? - Law & History
>>As I know, there isn't a foundation program for law and so, students have to take pre-U courses, eg. A Level, SAM, AUSMAT, Form 6 etc etc etc before further to LLB. So law is a must and it's down to another subject.

>>They strongly recommend students to take history is to train up our memory wor.. Wanted to take English Literature in the first place but someone told me that it's the toughest subject among law, history and EL. Example, 1 poem is like, 1000 lines? and we have to read, like, a LOT of books. God..so forget about it. Then, it's between Business and History. I chose history is because I thought I'll take it like stories, plus we're gonna learn about communism in CHINA (!!!), and it's world history, and it's in English! For business, I sort of bluff myself that it's a new subject and since I never touch before, so....... Ehehe.. I know.. Excuses.. I'm just lazy to learn new things. What a failure I am, right? aihs..

>>History was always the worst subject since primary until SPM. And well, my grade for history in SPM was the worst in class. It's quite embarrassing though, when everyone was like, "A1" "A2" "A1" "A1" "A2" blah blah blah.. so what? I won't give up easily! (ahaha 先听着..)

3. Where? - KDU
>>Was supposed to go to the education fair in Mid Valley on 15th March, but then I had no time to do so because I have something else much more important to do than to go to a edu fair and since my dad said going to edu fair is meaningless.

>>The prospects to take into concern are:

• Course offered
  
• Recognition
  
• Location
• Most important, SCHOLARSHIPS

>>Don't ever think that I'm rich because I'm in KDU. I chose KDU because, as said, it offers A Level Arts. It's famous for Law. The location is quite okay, not too far, unlike HELP. And most of all, I get sibling discount plus scholarships offered by the college is easy to get, unlike all other colleges that require at least, 8 A1s? That's insane. Well at least, to me. ^^

-------------------------------------------------------

I always wanted to be a lawyer, since I was still a kid. The first ambition ever is lawyer. I think it's because after watching some drama (like most people did) and I felt like, ya I wanna be a lawyer. But then, my grandma sort of dislike lawyers a lot after watching those dramas because she thinks that lawyer is a bad guy because they helped those who was in wrong and eventually forced the victim to commit suicide. o.O

Of course, as time flies, I eventually come to a point to think that to study law is very difficult because one has to read A LOT and have good memory and have to be good in history. So I kind of gave up and start putting my eyes on other courses, eg MASS COMM, PSYCHOLOGY, EVENT PLANNER, HOTEL MANAGEMENT, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS...

Actually the aim of my choice in studies is to get myself out of Malaysia, to anywhere else, as long as it's not Malaysia. Malaysia is kinda h o p e l e s s ady lah.. I don't want to work very very extremely hard and still be treated unfairly. That sucks!!! I rather go elsewhere and work harder but to get what I deserve.

However, in the end, I come back to Law. Why? Because I still think that taking a professional course is better. (ya maybe it's stupid & typical wtf) But then most of these professional courses involve science but I'm tired and enough of being tortured by science already, so yeah, it's down to LAW. =D Maybe this is what you call, Faith.


Whoa.. I talked a lot already. Ok lah.. I'll stop here and give your eyes a rest. lol
