TARC Uni UK Summer program

Saturday, June 28, 2014

Previously I did mention that I went for a 3 months semester program at UK. That was 2 years ago but the memories of the time there are still fresh in my mind. Ah! Those were the good old days. In this post, I will be giving you a glimpse of how the 3 months in UK will be like. A little something for my juniors that will be going for this program.


One has to prepare an amount of RM30,000 excluding flight ticket in order to go there. But trust me, during that 3 months, you will not need to spend that much. In fact most of the money will only fly when you start your Europe trip else rest assured there will be atleast RM5,000 for you to bring back. :) Still, if you are planning to go for the Europe trip (whether it is with tour or backpack) then I will say, RM30,000 is not quite enough. Especially if you intend to buy branded goods there. 

The flight ticket costs about RM5,000 (max) and as for the RM30,000, there is Kojadi loan which is offered for aiding students should the family finds it difficult to fork out that amount within a short time. The interest is quite high though. An approximation of 6-7% per annum. You can google about them to find out more about the loan or you can always wait for them to come over to the college. There will be a session at the KL main campus where the staff from Kojadi will brief you on everything you need to know. 

So.. that are roughly the amount to anticipate to get yourself to UK and enjoy~! It is not an everyday thing that one gets to travel to the other side of the globe. Especially when money is the main barrier. Give yourself some credit and make sure you enjoy your time at the UK but of course, make sure you pass your exam too. Cause your degree qualification is just that 3 months away. ;)


One thing about going to UK that you will experience is.... jet lag!! You say good morning... when its midnight... going out of my head... alone in this bed... -Jet Lag, Simple Plan Unless you are a night owl who doesn't sleep until 3-4am then I think the impact of the massive difference in timezone should be minimal for you. 


Another thing will be the weather. I went to UK during 2012, the time where UK plays the host for the Olympics~! yay~ I didn't buy any tickets to any match though. It is too expensive, not to mention with its conversion. That year was much warmer compare to the previous years. That was what the lecturers said but it was still very cold for us especially when the (strong) wind blows. So bring/pack more thick clothing!

Since it is summer when you go UK, you will be tempted by..... their Summe Sale~!!!! Lots and lots of sale~!! And their deisgner outlets: Bicester Village and Cheshire Oaks. One day trip will be offered for these 2 places so don't need to worry about not being able to go there. ;) The branded goods like Burberry, Ralph Lauren, la Coste, Prada, Fred Perry, Fossil, etc etc are really very cheap.

These are the basics on what to be aware of and look forward to during your stay at the UK. Sigh. Feel like going back there so much. To relive that 3 months again~

As I look back to my past…
I realized that it has already reached the end of April…
May is gonna greet me soon…
Which means the time I have in Penang is almost up…
Here I am being emotional…
Of the place I had my interns…
The people I knew through it…
Of the places I used to hang out in Penang…
With all of my closed buddies and friends…
I’m afraid it is time for me to continue my journey again…
To complete my Advanced and to proceed further…
I must say… I won’t be staying permanent at any place for now…
A maximum of 3 months is how long I can stay…
So yeah, I will be hooping from place to place…
To fulfill my dreams and to reach for my goals…
Away from my family and also my friends…
I’ll miss them dearly and they will never be forgotten…
For I will return and that time I shall stay…
But now, an adventure with all sorts of challenge awaits me…
To test my determination and my passion…
I will be strong and continue to fight on…
So wait for me... For i will come back with pride and glory...
XDDD

PS: I wonder what stop me from publishing this out... hhhmm.. 3 years have passed since this post was created. Its never too late to publish it now. :)

Blog Mega Revive~!!!

Oh my God. It has been almost 3 years since I last update or touch or have any connection with my poor pitiful lonely blog. I am sowwie!! I just lost the interest in blogging after that with all my exams, thesis and FYPs. :/

So, allow me to give you a brief walk through of my last 3 years:

I had my final semester of Advanced Diploma after that semester break. Was rushing my thesis and FYP. Presentations. Exam to prepare. Since this was already the last semester of the last year of my course, flunking it and not being able to graduate with my friends is the last thing I have in mind.


After that semester, we have quite a long break before going over to UK for the Summer top-up program where we will spend a semester (3 months) there. It was the best time ever~!! I managed to go for a 3 weeks Europe trip too! Will blog more on the travel soon~


After that 4 months of enjoyment, it was time to head back to reality. Why? Cause I have spent almost all of my savings on that 4 months (majority of the money started flying during the Europe trip) so it was time to come back and get a job to mend my full-of-holes pockets. So bye bye holiday, it was really nice being able to know you and hello, working life! 


So working life, I have heard alot of good and bad things about you. I was curious of the working life I'll be facing too at that time... Now that I have been working for 1.5 years, I felt blessed to have the chance to work at the company that I was hired at. Got the chance to met alot of great people with good environment. People who inspires. People who are selfless. Manage to learn alot too. It was really an eye opening experience. I ish glad~


During my 1.5 years of work, I did went on a couple of holidays too. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy me a dull girl. I strongly standby that quote/idiom! Despite having such an awesome workplace, stress is inevitable so vacations to the rescue~!! :P I had been to Taiwan and Japan so far. Will definitely blog more about my experience there and share some travel tips and tricks for traveling alone (without opting for tour packages/tour guide)


So that is all for now. My mega revival blog post. Ahh it felt good to start blogging again. I missed my onion heads so much! Glad to see them back in action on my blog~


PS: its football season. The season of World Cup~!!! Honestly speaking, I am not a fan of football and I have not watched a single match since the opening ceremony. Still, I took the time to mention this because... I wanna unleash my mini team of onion head football players~!! rawr!
