chill bro!

i agree with what you say, i wanted to study music at first,but both of my parents strongly object with my decision,they are not supporting and encouraging me to study more in music...

that's the problem with asian parents in general......they look down on skilled work, the arts, and creative professions.........every parent wants their kids to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants etc.........

now is i finding U or college to go..can anyone tell me where to head?
thank you

why don't you study pharmacy?

i think that before,but i got no idea which U or college

go do a pre u first lah....aiyo......

no money, hope to get into matrik, if not go do form 6........

got money, just go private college do a levels/sam/ausmat/foundation lah..........

what do you think about UCSI??is it a good U??

to do what?........

SCIENCE/MUSIC

like i said, if you intend to do these at degree level, you will still need to have a pre-u, so you will still need to go somewhere for one of the available pre-u programmes.......ucsi itself have a-levels......

alternatively, if you are sure of what you want to do, then you can go straight into a foundation programme that leads to the course you want....

'science' is a vague term at degree level......if you mean pure science, then you will have to specify which, eg physics, chemistry, biology/zoology, mathematics, etc......

+1. not saying ts has poor results btw. generally there are only book smart vs street smart students and the rare ones that have both. if you're not the rare bunch or the book smart ones then you should obviously focus on your passion that can create something with value to the future. it can be a service (btw if u are an engineer, you are of service to your company n country) or a business. simply put it, you are worth as much as your skills. even if you are a doc,engineer that graduated wit 1st class honours, u get a ticket to more choices of companies, bigger firms n organisations.

doesnt mean bigger public listed companies are better than smaller ones. in those companies, ur skills still matter, after all, the company wants only the best of the best who can get the job done and get them the profit, not the best student of Uni of (insertnamehere) 2012. n how quickly you develop them depends on your passion n your strengths.

haters, im not saying academics are not important, but they do not determine your success in the future. its all in your hands. so do what you love, and love what you do.

true

hehhehe

however i love music. at the same time i love science which is pharmacy. i will do anything to pursue my dream career! i wanna go for pharmacy which i wanted to be for so long. no $$, so i'd better go form6. but i wonder why no people encourage diploma in science. it leads to be pharmacist too right. only it takes 3 years.

universities like UNIMAS, UIAM, and other unis, do graduates from there can get job too for pharmacy? i wonder why people love UM so much...i know it's top 1st in malaysia. but, other unis offer job also rite?

and i kinda have the NEGATIVE feeling here. since in my place, RARELY people got 4A's for STPM. In west m'sia, got like hundred score 4 or 5 A's. In my place , only 21 something. AND FOR ALIRAN SAINS, only 6 score better. which im so scared to go for STPM.

cheryl u can get up to rm16k per annum besides ptptn looks at ur parents combined income so if their income low then ur chances are higher
here are d criterias

Malaysian citizenship
Applicant must be a full-time student in his/her first degree program and diploma program as well as in one of the 11 local public institutes of higher learning-IPTA or local private institutes of higher learning- IPTS.
Applicant who has not receive any other sponsors
Pass the "Means Test" - evaluation of family's financial ability
Government servant undertaking half paid / unpaid leave

But after u finish ur studies make sure payback d loan ar dont b like those kiasu msians who take loan then cabut good luck

You wanna do engineering? Good.
Cause with your result you can continue to form 6 science stream. You need science subjects to pursue study in engineering. I hope you'll get offer to continue form 6 science stream.
If you got it, then you should study with your best, no more SPM-ish play-play. All the best! =)

can anybody explain to me more further about biochemical and pharmaceutical and pharmacy??this three seem alike for me...thx

no engineering/physic sub since u got an E for your Add maths

Eh i should be the one who are worried about my results.
Your result is considered good in that way

At least you had quite number of As there though =)
Btw,don't be so discouraged you can continue with engineering/physic if you're interested
But you have to put more effort into the study then,add maths is real hard though,but how could you get E...

Hi cheryl and michiyo ...

learning music is a niche if you ask me. with the kind of talent and skills you have, chances of u succeeding in this field is high if only you continue to have passion for it.

with a bachelor degree in music, you can be a music teacher, lecturer, performer, composer, and heck, you can even consider opening your own music school if you hv the dreams and capabilities to do it.

there are many majors within the music industry - composition, music arrangement, performance, music education etc ...

I know of a few colleges who offer music degree courses:

1) ICOM (international college of music) @ Setapak
2) UCSI @ Cheras
3) Yamaha @ Kelana Jaya


If you think that colleges are expensive, best public uni that offers music course is UPM (if i m not mistaken, you need to do STPM before you are qualified to enter public uni .. i don't know about music, but you can always call the faculty up to ask).

I always believe that once you have set your heart into something you are passionate about, go for it. Many high school leavers are often stuck at the next road(s) to take simply because they do not know what they want to do in the future .. or they have not found their passion yet.

but from the look of your posts, it seems like you have found it .. why not pursue it? Parents are mostly concern that you will not be able to earn a living with a music degree.. but i disagree strongly in this. I have known of people who made it in the music industry .. all it takes is persistence, hard work and passion ... you can convince your parents with your determination ...

here's wishing you all the best in your future undertakings ...
