Wooohooo......

Woohooooo....programme approved by Vice Chancellor Office!
The letter dispatched from the Office of Students Affair on 22 March 2011.
Let's see how long it to reach FPPSM.
Past experience: It took 1 week for a letter to reach FPPSM from the OIA. :/ (Even with snail mail, a letter can reach from KL and JB within a week!)

Woohooo....maybe not....
We submitted 50% deposit to the travel agent this morning. Money gone. The challenge is to look for the remaining RM2k! Not including personal expenses.

Sigh~

GOP Seminar:
Free Food and Drinks
Lesson learnt: There's no need to submit letters to HEMA Office nor VC Office. I do not know what is wrong here. I'm too tired to clarify all these.

"Seminar GOP"

Hmm...weird...
saw a banner on my way to class...

It says "Seminar Global Outreach Programme"...
Since I was travelling in the bus, I quickly 'scan' for important information (psss..almost missed the stop, did not forget to jump off the bus)

23/3/2011, 2-5pm

Such long hours...I wonder what they want to talk about??

Curiosity will take me there. I'll attend the 'seminar'/lecture/more documents to prepare.
Will update soon.
Signing off. (bla!)

Disappointed but I'll be strong

As the title suggests, disappointed.
Another reject letter received. I hate all these scheduled emails. I keep remind myself, it's not their fault to reject our applications/request. It's difficult for a company to sponsor someone else's vacation!

As mentioned, I'll be strong...(I accidentally typed sotong...LOL) No. I'll be strong! There'll be a way somehow.
"We didnt failed. It happened that it just that we found ways didnt work."

It is not about the outcome, the process is more important!

Still short of RM8,000 for my group!

COUNTDOWN: 64 DAYS until we leave on the jet plane! wooohooo!

Frustrated

Finally, I submitted the documents as requested by the Office of Students Affair this evening.
Guess what...
Mr S said: "Patutnya, u tak payah buat ni lagi, tapi kalau dah siap tak pe la."
What does this supposed to mean??

Next:
"Satu salinan je ke? Semua kena 2 salinan"

Stated clearly on the list of procedures, ONLY proposal needs 2 copies. However, it is fortunate that there is a photocopy machine just next to him, so he photocopied it for me without any changes. Thanks Mr S. No doubt he's a nice man, but it says one means I will only prepare one!

Anyway, Mr S is a nice guy. He was talking to us nicely all the time. It's just that we could not tolerate the long procedures. Not his fault after all, he's just doing his job.

Just wait and see how long they need to reply the letters.

We're going to Perth soon...lalala~

By the way, the previous call-out session didnt really work well. But we have new strategies. Hopefully, it'll work! 

RANT

I sent out around 7 application for sponsorship letters yesterday.

Instantly, one replied informing that they will consider within 2 weeks time. Thanks for the prompt response.
Today, one reject letter came. I barely believe that they actually consider the application. The email was received at 2.00pm sharp. Well, I strongly believe that this is a scheduled email. (May be I'm being a little overly sensitive)

Anyway, there'll be another session of sponsorship request tomorrow.

Best of luck!

Junk

We went to inquire for a tax deduction letter for sponsors.

First to Bursar of UTM > directed to Office of Students Affair > told to see Mr R > told us to get Permission-to-get-sponsorship Letter.

"Ok, Mr Officer. We'll go get that letter."

Few days later, went to Office of Deputy of Vice Chancellor (A&I) >  were told to refer to Office of Students Affair > Directed to meet Mr S

    We were told that our approval documents are not complete. One little part of it is completed. 

    We were told that the process is around 2 months. 

Due to some requests from Coordinating Officer, Dr H, the officer promised to get everything completed by a week.

 Lots of documents to prepare, bye 

UPDATES!

After missing in action for quite a while, we're back into action with a few updates.

1. Delegation postponed to 20th - 26th of May 2010. [all related parties notified]

2. 15 seats on AirAsia on the 20th and 26th secured. [deposit paid]

 We'll be leaving to Perth on 20th of May 2010 regardless of rain, snow, storm or sun. WOOOOHOO! 

From the initial summer plan, we can now shift our attention to autumn. It's in between the autumn and winter, so keep all the thin clothes away! Bring your sweaters, jackets and what-so-ever. It wont be freezing cold, but still cold. (colder than Genting Highlands)

We'll still visit UWA and other universities as proposed in the initial paper work. The budget is still as before. The delegates are still as before. Perth will be as beautiful as before too!

*CHEERS!* I'm getting (over) excited. Are you?  :D
