UPU results are out a few hours back and some are happy with the outcome. To the less fortunate friends that did not get any UPU offer, appealing (rayuan) is the way for you to get a place in local public universities.  Rayuan Info-to-know before appealing : E-Rayuan effective date is from 12/8/2014 onwards to 22/8/2014 (11:59pm) Applicant DOES NOT NEED to purchase ID number from BSN in order to appeal.  Only those that did not get any offer from UPU can appeal, while those who are not satisfied with UPU's offer CANNOT appeal through this method. Website : (UPU) https://online.moe.gov.my/upu/onlineupu/frayuan/ipta/index.php (USM)  https://pohon.usm.my/   * for those that applied for USM beforehand* Appealed results will be out by the third week of September . Yes, this by any chance means that those who succeed in appealing will enter public university later than their peers. Hence, in the meantime while waiting for the outcome, I strongly suggest friend

Recently I came across a reader's comment in my 'STPM Baharu, Third Semester' article that asked me some questions about retaking : And so, I've decided to write about this issue in this article.  #1 - When will you retake your papers? If there are no any big changes this year, Semester 1 & Semester 2 retake papers should be not long after Semester 3 exam. This means that straight after your Semester 3 papers, you'll still need to prepare for retakes. It went on like this for my year : Sem 3 > Sem 1 Retake > Sem 2 Retake.  As for Semester 3 retake, it'll be a few weeks after Semester 3 results are out , probably in between March and April after you've graduated from Form 6. #2 - When will you able to know your retake results? For Semester 1 & Semester 2 retake, results will be out not long after you received your Semester 3 results .  As for Semester 3 retake, results will be out sometime during the month of Apri

Every single year, there will always be STPM students with good results that hope to be called for interview for the entrance into local public universities but in the end turned down by the authorities.  So, what can you do if you are one of the victim?  1. Check First of all, check the courses you applied, are everyone of them required interview? If there are courses that do not require interview, it means that you will still have a chance to enter public universities. Every course you applied require interview? Proceed to no.2 then. 2. Rayuan This is to the ones that failed to get any offer in the end to apply.  "Rayuan: Hanya calon yang gagal mendapat sebarang tawaran sahaja yang layak mengemukakan permohonan rayuan. Rayuan ke IPTA bagi Program Pengajian Lepasan STPM/Setaraf dibuka untuk capaian mulai 12 Ogos 2014 jam 12.00 tengah hari sehingga 22 Ogos 2014" 3. Local/Overseas Private Universities Well, maybe in life when we do not get w

Anyeong! Just writing this post to wish every kawan-kawan that will be sitting for Second Semester STPM in a few days time all the best and good luck! Be Careful - Pengajian Am Pengajian Am for second semester is one tricky paper to score. Be very very careful while plotting your graphs/charts/tables because a small keyword that you left out will cost you your results for the paper.  p.s. Remember to bring your colour pencils and protractor ya! My Advice For me, I'll not study until late night before exam, as stuff in our brain tend to go all wrong due to lack of rest. Instead of discussing with friends about the subject before the paper, I would normally prefer to find a quiet place to calm down my nerves (Keep on talking about the subject before exam will most probably cause you to be more nervous).  Best of Luck! So yeah this is indeed a short post dedicated to wish all STPM candidates all the best and good luck! Stay healthy and please, sleep early

The time has come for the STPM 2013/14's batch of STPM students to receive their First Semester's results! Here is a short article that might help you mentally on how to prepare yourself for it - and aftermath of receiving your results. #1 Rule: Expect Nothing This is the only way to prepare yourself mentally, because this is your First Semester's results and there are way too much of different circumstances in STPM. Don't give yourself excess stress by setting a target for yourself before receiving your results (if you wanna do so, you should have done it in the start of the semester and go all in for it anyway). Well, just tell yourself that you have did your best and leave it fate to decide. Hence, expect nothing and when the results turns out to be good then take it as a bonus, you'll definitely happier by this way.  #2 Rule: Know That You Have a Second Chance Well, this thought is definitely not advisable during the semester, as I would always

Back in year 2012 when I was deciding whether to enter Form 6 or to do a foundation in media studies in a college in Jaya One, in the end I'd decided to try Form 6 and I remained in Form 6 until the very end of the 1.5 years course.  Planning a fundraise for the down syndrome kids in 12 days Now Form 6 has ended and I've decided that I'll put 'enjoy life' as my first priority instead of academic excellence, yay! Well, not that I didn't have a life in Form 6, but if you went through Form 6 you'll know what I mean. Not long after my Third Semester ended, I've planned a fundraising event for the down syndrome kids by selling homemade gingerbread cookies, the name of the event is 'A Christmas Project : The Joy of Giving'. It was definitely not easy because of the limited time and resources and with some luck and the help from my parents and friends we were able to held it in Sunway Pyramid on 22/12/2013, the Sunday before Christmas.
