long lost blog....

Recently didn't blog as much as I did before that la...started classes 2 weeks ago...well..classes are as usual...lectures almost the same...including the slides and the PBL triggers...which's kind of an advantage to us la...lolz...can save more time no need to find informations on the PBL triggers already...hehehehe......and lucky also the lecturers didn't exactly "shoot" at us always expecting us to be able to answer everything lor...(except for ABK...I'm sooooo wanting to kill her with my own hands...really thanks to her I got the lowest marks for PBL...duh~~)

Nothing special happened these few weeks la...except what happened these few days la...nearly had a nightmare of my life...OK..it started with Malaysian Studies...the lecturer told us finals is on next Thurs...so me and my friend went to the Registrar wanting to get the exam token after class...turned out that me and my fren can't get the token COZ OUR NAME AINT IN THE SYSTEM CLAIMING THAT WE'RE NOT TAKING UP MALAYSIAN STUDIES!!!!! Meaning that we won't be able to take the exam!!!! And this also means that the time I wasted travelling to and fro every week for the last 2 months was totally wasted!!! Plus I've already paid the school fees for this too!!!! But the thing is....it's not our fault at all!!!!! To start with, me and my friend are repeating students...so their system may be messed up or something...that I dunno...then when we did our course selection for 1st yr again...our dear course administrator PS told us that we don't have to put in Malaysian Studies in the manually-done course selection form anymore coz according to her our name's in the system already....so we just hand in the form with only our medicine programme subjects written in the form....and somehow I think there must be some kind of misunderstanding or miscommunication between the administrators...ANYWAY......the Registrar then asked us to fill a "Approval for Late-Adding Subjects" form after they've got the whole idea of situation from PS...but we need the Msian Studies lecturer, our school dean and the Finance officer's signatures....and guess what...our MS lecturer is actually a part-timer and he doesn't come to uni often!!! But lucky us though that very day he was in uni bcoz some students want to retake the midterm exam...To get the school dean's signature is the difficult part....me and JW waited for 2days for him to get the signature and also he needs to add a reason...guess the dean's sick of us already la =p OK....finally got the reason and the signatures...went back to Finance....and they told us the reason aint strong enough and we need to pay $100 as penalty!!!! WTH....I mean...this aint our fault....and we even paid for it!!! The Finance then told us actually what we paid excess for school fees...and I go frus!! I told them off that if you knew that we've paid excess...you should have told us earlier...and we wouldn't have to end up in this situation....and they go like....there're soooo many students how would we expect them to call each one one by one if they paid excess...?? So I told her back....if thats the case...once a student didn't pay up...you guys are just sooooo persistent and so quick in calling School of Medicine...then looked up for my friend's mentor asking the mentor to contact my friend!!!! GAH!~~~ What happened next is one of the finance officer which's a very nice lady then secretly told us we should ask the dean to write a stronger reason: "Please waive fees and it's not the student's fault". Well....this reason works and we don't need to pay for the penalty!!! WooHOo~~~ So me and my friend are able to get the exam token on Monday =D The number of times we both travel from the Finance and the Registrar in Block A to my school office in Block C 4th floor is uncountable already...Oh...forgot to mention one thing...the best thing is that PS (my course administrator who started everything) resigned!!! Else she would have dealt everything already and not causing us so many trouble *dash underscore dash*

In conclusion, private universities only know how to "makan duit"...paid school fees in excess you also should let us know so that we knew there must be something wrong...hey....the excess aint a small amount leh....and I've keep comfirming with the Finance that is it that amount of money I need to pay up...my name has long been not in the system....and you should know that at the time I paid up!!!! Stupid "money-greed" private unis~~~

Administrators suck. That was a pretty bad experience.

Glad you got it waived, but they can't give you back your time.
