reminds me of a place i stayed a long time ago still with an outhouse......

uh so you guys one much more expensive and toilet not included ?o.0

but my place is in town.

Oh ya guys, who going to the nottingham sports games?

planning to go as well

hey guys, I would like to know, should I get a Mac or PC notebook? I will be going for A-levels

Get a cheaper one since you'll be under-utilising the more expensive alternative.

ok..thanks

is anyone knows where to go for crazy shopping in London during Boxing Day? planning to hunt for designer goods. would like to have some suggestions where i can get cheaper branded goods as well as nearby budget hotel. thanks.

+1

i heard about that place too.. but dunnu the place and name....

You're not the first and last person to go for a kill during Boxing Day. Chances are half of London on that day itself will be camping on high streets. Also, last year my friend Q for two hours just to check out her items. That's how crazy it is.

Hi guys,

I would like to ask something about scholarships to study in the UK.
Actually I googled and found some scholarships offered by the British Council, Commonwealth etc.

But I just wish to know more. I'm still a secondary school student so might as well plan to study in the UK
with scholarship. May I know is there any company which provide students to study degree abroad?
Should I study A levels local or over there in the UK?

Thanks to all the seniors

Depending on what course you want to Study there are local companies like Sime Darby etc. that offer scholarships to students that are able to achieve great results in pre-u, got a place in a highly ranked uni etc. but mind you these scholarships are very competitive.

Just do your A-Levels locally. Why waste so much money go and pursue A-levels in the UK well unless your family is super rich and doing so won't put much noticeable dent in your family's saving accounts and pockets.

Thanks alot. Sime Darby provide full scholarship (tuition fees, living cost, medical fees etc)?

in Malaysia, it really depends on what your race is or what your parents do. The most generous are MARA (90% Melay) , Petronas or Shell.

JPA is not really worth it , unless you're really keen to be bonded for 10 years. With a capped salary of 3-5k.

if your parents don't work for either company, and you're not Melay .. then I would suggest applying to Singaporean Scholarships. Sad to say, but they sponsor half the Malaysians at Cambridge & Oxford Only catch is you'll have to work in S'pore for a couple of years , but the pay is so good, not many will leave.

i found that due to some economical problems in UK,the UK goverement would like to reduce the subsidies for universities in UK,and the fees will be increased sooner or later with 3 times!is it true?

that only apply to the UK residents. It's like here in Malaysia locals only pay a fraction of the real cost while the rest is subsidized by the government if you were to study in an IPTA.
International Students are already paying full fees in UK Universities without any subsidies. Though this move might cause the Universities there to increase the full fees as well to make up for their loss as less students might enroll, these would affect especially those lower ranked unis more since I read in one of their websites poll that locals there are less willing to pay more for ex polytechnic unis though unlikely to increase so much since they still need a competitive price to attract students to their uni.

London's Oxford Street is ideal for shopping during Boxing day too! You can get almost everything there XD

Thanks alot every seniors..................... Sigh. The chances is like one in a million.

I booked Marriott Marble Arch on 24 / 25 / 26 .

so that means international students like us won't be affected right?

yup international students won't be affected though do expect them to increase the price a bit since they will be needing more money if the government lower their subsidies.

So who's going Nottingham Malaysia Games? Heard that the Shaberi fella from dunno what ministry coming again.
