Decisions, decisions.
Good evening, to whoever is reading this. Thank you for stopping by.
So I've been told that I got the Petronas Scholarship (according to my sister it's actually 'sponsorship' because they can take your scholarship anytime they want but idk) to study chemical engineering in Canada.
Woosh! I was swept away, because Canada has been my ultimate goal of the country I want to study in. I can't believe that joking about how I'll go skiing in the mountains of Alberta one fine day, will finally not be a joke.
Well, sort of.
Petronas is offering me a MYR700k scholarship in Canada only if I ace my A-Levels. And that means that I have to score at least 2A's and 1B by the end of my 2-year pre-uni study. I don't know. Many of my acquaintances and friends who have been through it say it's *really hard* and the smartest kids only aim to pass it let alone getting straight A*s. For those who took O-Levels, to them, A-Levels is a sharp turn towards misery and hell. Already I'm dreading the possibility that I won't be able to ace it which means my chance of studying abroad will be taken away.
If I accept my UPU offer of studying foundation in Science in Universiti Malaya, maybe it'll be more relaxed and I'll have better lecturers that can help me achieve 4 flat CGPA. Plus I'll get to choose whatever field I'll be taking for my bachelor's degree. It won't have to be engineering!!!
However, fortunately, my friends and family support me greatly. One said: alah, kau ni letak mana-mana pun mesti gempak punya or percaya la kat diri sendiri and bukan senang orang nak dapat biasiswa ni.. kau antara yang beruntung!
Yes yes, but in the end it's me working my butt off. Not them.
Speaking of which, chemical engineering is not my passion. Even though I'm born into a family of engineers, I've never aspired to be one. To me, engineers are a bunch of stressful introverted nerds (like I'm not already one smh).
It's getting late. I'll talk of my dreams and ambitions in another post.
Ciao!
