kekalahan....

Once again, Malaysia needs to wait for another two year to win the thomas cup.. A bit frustrated in heart looking our national players who seems not giving their best or all out during the game.. compared to the two other games before: games with Denmark and japan... On paper, it is written that China's players are much more better than our players.. Also, I can say that our country lacks of young players to replace our senior player... Hopefully, more and more talented players can be found.. so that we can stop the domination of China in badminton sport.. After all, I hope that Indonesian team will beat China this Sunday... hahaha...

uoft


looks like.. I got an offer from my first choice university. Now, it's the time to decide which university I want to go.. Mcmaster or Uoft.. both has their own potential and benefits if I go there.. but still I have to make a decision.. It's a tough decision that will determine my future.. if I choose the wrong path.. I hope I'll not regret at the end of the day... So far, if I go to any one of the university, the education or syllabus may be quite the same.. but the environment may be the key point to different both university including money matters...

Since, it is my first choice, I intend to go there.... but there is still much more time and space to decide till 28 May.. the final date to accept the university offer through OUAC... Many of my friends feel a bit excited upon receiving the offer...haha.. some of them said at first that they want to uofa and others.... but the 'aura' of uoft is able to persuade them to go to toronto...

I'm also hoping that more and more of my friends will change their mind and choose uoft.. so that we can make a big malaysian 09/10 ex-icpu students there....

For Mcmaster, all the first engineering students undergo an Engineering I programme, in which they do not specify their specialization yet till the 2nd year.. and also Hamilton city, which mcmaster is placed.. is not really hectic like toronto...so that the living cost is much more lower especially on the accomodation, foods & etc... (remind me if I'm wrong).. before I forget, there is student pass there .. for bus I think...

On the other hand, I got an offer for chemical engineering degree... yet chemical engineering is my first choice followed by track one, eng sci , electric and lastly mech.. So, there is no general engineering for 1st year student.. maybe it has it's own advantages and disadvantages... Moreover, Toronto is a big cities.. the biggest city in Canada I guess... so it may be a little bit busy.. The main concern about this university is mainly due to its reputation as the best engineering school in Canada and ranked 8th among the North America universities.. Imagine if can go there.. my degree will be prestigious ...hahaha... and for a greater extend it will be easier for me to be employed to any multinational competitive company.. exxonmobil ..perhaps or others that I don't really know.. that will pay the best salary for me.. opps.. I forget.. I need to serve for my country... nevermind... I'll never forget who is sponsoring me.. if I go there... (too ambitious hope)

Last but not least....


which one to choose ??

VALEDICTORIAN....

This morning, before starting my chemistry class, once in the blue moon Ms. Nadeline called me.. "where is Ahmad Zahir"... Yes.. I said.. I'm a bit frightened on that time.. The main thing playing in my mind was that I've done something wrong or didn't pass my literacy test... But, something unexpected happened, she said "You are chosen as the list of nominees for VALEDICTORIAN.. On that time, what the heaven is VALEDICTORIAN... After while, after a brief explanation by Nadeline, what I understand, I am chosen for a long standing candidates to give a speech during incoming graduation day...most likely as the student representative...

Here I provide the definition of the word 'VALEDICTORIAN'

A student, usually one who has been the most successful in a particular class, who makes a speech at a special ceremony at the end of a school year - Cambridge Online Dictionary

But.. there is only one student to be chosen from 10 candidates... So, am I able to compete with them??.. plus I am too lazy to join any extra curriculum activities as I think that it is not very useful for Canada university admission compared during my secondary school time.. as I join one of the leadership society such as prefect and others just to get the government scholarship... Basically, it is not a new experience for me to give a speech in front of the crowd as before this I'm responsible to be the chairperson for daily ceremony and other.. But it may be slightly different as there may be canadian audience from ontario education department.. Last but not least, I just accept all of the decisions with open heart...
Hope to achieve that title with greatest effort in the coming test and ISU assigment.. Arigato Gozaimas

You're Still The One....



Last week, I watched the American Idol show...hahaha.. quite affected and influenced by reality show lately eventhough life is getting tight and busy with a lot of work... So for that time, the contestants had to sing a song from Shania Twain's song... Her song and melody was so great and I'm attracted with one of the song, You're Still The One on that night.. Let's enjoy the song..






UAE

Just now in my malaysian studies class, En. Khairy asked the students about UAE as the administration system of that country is just the same to the monarchy constitution system (raja perlembagaaan) practiced in Malaysia.. In Malaysia, 'sultan' or yang 'dipertuan besar' will rotate every 4 or 5 years to become the 'yang di-pertuan agong' and it same goes to UAE.. Basically, UAE has seven states known as emirates ; Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah, and Fujairah...





Here I just want to list others information about UAE:

  • Arab official language and Islam official religion
  • has seventh largest oil reserves in the world
  • Member of Arab League,UN, WTO, OPEC
  • Abu Dhabi is the largest emirates while Ajman is the smallest emirates
  • The politics are based on federal, presidential & elective monarchy
  • Has three branches of administration system; legislative, executive, judiciary
  • Practice liberal laws contrast with Saudi Arabia
  • Sharia laws are practice in family laws, inheritance and certain criminal acts
  • Human rights are legally protected by the Constitution of UAE :freedom of speech, religion, movement etc
Actually, there is insurmountable of information to talk about this region.. I think it is enough as it is difficult to extract the point from the passage.. Anyway go this open source link to know more about UAE..
