Yes I've been M.I.A. for so long. Been busy ever since. Chinese New Year (CNY) been great this year and got a little surprise from my boyf for the pressie 'hidden' in my laptop bag.After CNY all I remembered was my time has been 90% contributed for assignments, tests, research works, and presentations. If I'm lucky, I will have one outing with my love during weekend. Gosh ! And my examination just ended on Friday. And I almost shed my tears when I walked out from that hall. I told myself 'Oh is finally over'.
Today is the 2nd day of my holiday. And yesterday was the day PTPTN panel coming to our college for submission of documents. The scholarship unit has done a poor management on the whole thing. First of all when I reached around 8.50am the hall was already crowded and everyone sitting row by row. And the panel came in about 9am. They are taking their own sweet time to start setting up 'slowly'. And yeah they managed to set up and start a short briefing. And everyone listened and filled up the particulars accordingly. So after that we did as everyone did filled up and queued up. In front of me there could probably 20-30 people.
The weirdest thing I wonder was that how come a government department will only send THREE persons to handle over hundred of students for the documents submission. And ya there are three lines been set up. Two lines for people who are having exam at 11am. so the two lines are moving fast and being a honest person I queued up in the line where I'm supposed to be but my friend suggested us to go the express lane. Well I being so noble kindly rejected and said we should be considerate for them. Ended up, we've queued up for 3 hours as the 'pregnant lady' created another special lane for those who are sitting for exam at 2pm. Oh great so now the queue we're queuing is not moving and another express lane is moving FAST.
Yeah and the announcement has been made the panel will be having lunch break at 1pm-2pm. I was like oh great so THREE of them will be having lunch break and no replacement. Another most 'lucky' thing that strikes me was when it is my turn to submit, the panel said sorry come back at 2pm since is lunch break ! I've queued up for 3 hours (standing)and now I got to wait for another hour. Yayyyy ! I sit there for that remaining one hour to avoid any chances that my turn is gone.
I couldn't say how angry I am at that moment. But anyway, I've been patient and made it through. The scholarship should have apply or ask INSO to set up numbering system or at least made the queue in three long lines instead of everyone sitting row by row. The attitude of the employees has been worsen since the time I first came. For this, I need to say that OAR (Office of Admissions & Records) has done a better job in providing service to the students.
If anyone happen to see this and know what I'm trying to tell do drop me a comment though. My holiday could be good I hope besides the fact that my boyf will be away for days for a business trip. I had certain level of uncertainty as the next semester is coming and the payment is not ready anytime soon. *Sigh*
P/s: God bless my friends who are sitting for finals in the next two weeks. Best of luck !
I'll update my blog promptly with a brief things I did now and then.
Cheers !
