After SPM in 2002, I decided to do A Levels in a local private college. I started in January 2003. I did the A Levels partly because it was in English, and also partly because the January intake finished in June. If I had done other preuniversity programs (STPM, SAM or AUSMAT), I would have finished in November- leaving a eight-month break between Pre-U and university (as most US and UK

2. Other First ImpressionsThere's one thing that interviewers usually look out for and that's your handshake. By shaking your hand, the interviewer can make a decent guess about your character. A firm handshake, with a good grip, denotes confidence while a weak handshake denotes the opposite (of course). But, I'd advise not to overdo it. Firm handshake, but no longer than about 2-3 seconds.

Although I am under MISC scholarship, confusion often arises as I am not really under MISC. MISC is a subsidiary of Petronas, and I applied for my current scholarship through Petronas. When I am asked on how I obtain my current scholarship, my answer, in a short version will be, “Well, it has never been easy.” The long version is this:It was after my SPM Trial Exam.

To all you secondary school students interested in applying to the US. Yes, by this time you've probably been through the SAT Reasoning Test.. and are studying your butt off for the SAT Subject Tests. Most of us have been through that crazy period of time where you're cramming brand new facts (in a different language!) into your head.. and at the same time, you're trying your best to write essays

RM100 Million Down the DrainA fall in 80 ranking spots and the VC goes "I'm not worried", 60000 graduates unemployed and now this.While I will admit that the ranking system need not necessarily be legit, it is a problem when a VC says that he is not worried about a fall in the rankings.
