Life of a small boar

Life may not be perfect, but it definitely isn't dull, espeacially when God's your leader.

I was thinking about changing my course to ICT. Initially, I had wanted to apply for software engineering. However, I couldn't find it under the number of choices given. So i applied for E&E, and that's what Petronas gave me. Later, I found out that ICT majors in software engineering and my heart have been itching to change course. what made me hesitate though, is that ICT is not pure software, and there are more to it such as business, and technologies. I needed to confirm what I'll be studying if I do change my course, but there was no one to ask. The only and best person to ask is Edrea, and she's not here in Malaysia. i didn't know what to do.

Lat night, I had a dream. I dreamt that I met Edrea at a school gathering, and I asked her what I wanted to know. She told me that although there is a large portion of software in ICT, the business and technologies parts are not something I can ignore as well, and there are quite a lot of memorizing. She advised me that if the only reason I want to change is because I like programming, then I shouldn't, for E&E does has its share of programming too. Then I woke up, feeling certain God had reassured my path again. I'm so blessed.

I got PETRONAS SCHOLARSHIP!!! =)

I'm so happy. I thank all of you who prayed for me. This is the power of group prayers =) Hehe... Leaving next week on the 11th. Really looking forward to it. Edrea, I'm coming =P

It's a shame, that I took so long to learn humility. Had I not let my pride took over 3 years ago, had I rely on God and not my strength, I might, I might get this scholarship then, and not waste these 3 years. However, He knew what I needed, for if I had success then, I would only add size to my already big, conceited head. He made me see that true strength is only revealed when I step down and gave Him the throne to lead my life. I got what I wanted, perhaps it is also the road He wanted me to take, but which was delayed due to my ego.

However, it's not fair to make it sounds like I suffered the 3 years I spent in UTM. I enjoyed every minute of it. The laid-back lifestyle, the friends I made, and meeting one of the most important person in my life =) it's like an extra class/lesson i needed to get on to the next level, and I did have a great time attending the class =P

Totally new environment with totally new faces, I'm thrilled =) May God guide me through every minute of my time there like He did till now.

One thing I don't understand about these government universities, is why they need so many set of our certified certificates, and our passport size photos. We sent a set of our photyostated certs to them when we were applied for admission, now they need another set. What did they do with the previous set? Throw them away? And our photos, what do they want 10 of my passport photos for? To drool over them? Then every year when we apply for a place in the hostel, we need to give them another set of certs, not this much though, and 2 more passport size photos. The following year, another 2 photos. What did they do with the previous 2?

The ipta result is out. I got E&E in Skudai, Johor =P not the one I wanted most, but better than Electrical. I can't stand another 3 years of sudying 3-phase, generator, trnasformer, transmission line, you get me =) still, I will try to change my course to software engineering when I reach there. Leaving next week. Another new school, with a few familiar faces. It shouldn't be too bad. Looking forward to it =)

The Petronas Scholarsip interview is tomorrow. Hope that this time, I will actually get the scholarship, not just stuck at the interview level... Pray for me, peeps =D
