Winter Semester result out lu~~~

I couldn't believe what I saw. Thank God for my result!!

An anxious day

This afternoon, I went to Student Information Centre (SIC) to get my validity sticker. In the meantime, I requested the staff to check whether they have exempted my MPW subjects which are Moral Studies and Malaysian Studies, just in case they didn't due to their bad management. What a shock when she told me that I have not been exempted from these subjects. As I remember, during the registration in August 2009, I gave the letter of passing the MPW subjects to the person that entertained me and that person took it, settled it and returned it back to me without any written or printed confirmation. I thought it was settled. I even went to SIC to ask for confirmation and one of the staff that time told me that if I had let them see the letter, then it will be okay. She didn't use the computer to check. Since she answered me confidently, then I supposed that it will be okay because I was just a new student there knowing nothing about Swinburne's history. However, today SIC told me that I have not been exempted?? The staff asked me about the person who entertained me that day. How am I suppose to remember since I was only a new student that time? My friend told me that probably is the marketing department and I came to know that SIC never communicate with marketing department even though they are working in the same university. I was so angry with them and at the same time feared that I might have to retake the subjects. I told myself that I will never ever trust marketing department anymore.

The SIC staff asked me to submit the exemption form together with the photocopy of the letter and they will get the approval from the coordinator of MPW. However, I was still worry because getting the approval might need a week or two. I need to worry for so many days? What if the coordinator doesn't approve? I have only two semesters left and definitely this semester I couldn't enrol anymore as the enrolment has already past and I can only take one MPW per semester. That means I have to delay my graduation? I was so worried. Anyhow, I have to solve this problem. I don't want to retake it! It's a silly thing to do! So, I decided to take a shorter and more reliable step which is to find the coordinator with the documents needed. From the start of the incident, I never stop praying. When I went to the coordinator's room, she was not there. I continued to pray hoping that I could find her. After a while, I decided to find a person in the marketing department which I heard that he might be able to help. After a few steps away from the coordinator's office, I saw the coordinator coming down the stairs walking back to her office. Thank God.

When I asked her to confirm that she is the MPW coordinator, she was so kind and invited me to go into her office, sat down and talked slowly. She sounds so nice. Haha. Then, I told her about my problems. After she saw the letter, she took out a list of IPTS school and started searching for Institut Sinaran where I took my MPW. It was there! Then she told me it is okay, she will approve it, but what I need to do is submit it to the SIC because only they have the chop to confirm that my document is real, and after that only she will be able to approve it. She even told me that it is good that I did some follow up. She asked me to continue following up to see whether the SIC will send me email about the approval, and if I still haven't get the email after maybe one or two weeks, I will have to ask them. What a relief after getting such confirmation. So, I did what she said and now I am waiting for the email. Again, I couldn't stop thanking God.

By the way, I feel sorry for the SIC staff. Everything that is handled by the marketing department, when anything happens, SIC have to take the blame. I kept complaining that time and showed her my unsatisfied and "sienz" look. I think she felt frustrated because at first, she talked nicely. But after that, the reaction on her face changed and she started to talk seriously to me (with some fake smile) about how am I able to solve the problem. Haha. Sorry ba. =P

I learn the moral of the story that I should always do some follow up especially in Swinburne because I could not trust their management. They never communicate with each other. Anyway, I still and will always trust God for He did and will do great things in my life. This incident reminds me that how powerful, strong and great God He is.

He listens to my prayer

This afternoon, I was going to prepare my lunch. Suddenly the electricity was out. I thought there was some problem with the main switch. I went down to check but it was not. I was a bit frustrated and was going to change my plan to eat at school. I didn't wish to go to school that early because I need to study. I had not been studying for the whole weekend. Then I prayed hoping that the electricity will resume soon. After that, I continue to study. One minute haven't pass, I noticed the electricity had resume. I didn't notice when did it resume. It was too fast. I couldn't stop thanking God and then went down to cook for my lunch.  

太奇妙的一天

昨天是上课的第二天。三点半下午的课令我有好奇的感觉。因为这是 final year project 的开始，也就是说 software engineering project A. 上课的时候，老师叫我们抽签来看自己在哪一组。那时我们真的是很紧张，比拿成绩还要紧张。我就一直的祷告，希望我们可以在同一组。但是我又矛盾的跟神说，一切都跟随神的旨意。虽然说这一句是满怕的，可是我不可以跟着自己的意愿而祷告吧。就跟神说如果我真的是跟其他人同组，那就无所谓吧，一切都跟随主的旨意。我相信主会安排最好的给我。我一直重复的祷告，还是有担心的感觉。当我抽的时候，我选都不要选，我就看到哪一张纸，就拿那一张。好奇妙的结果，既然我跟我的朋友拿到同一组。接下来就到另一个朋友抽。很不好的，我还去教她偷看。没想到，他真的有这么做。也很奇妙的，当我和第一个朋友抽的时候，老师是站在我们面前的，但是当那另一个朋友抽的时候，老师走去另一边。那她就有机会这么做。虽然心是有点不好过，但是到最后，我们还是同组了。做了就做了。没办法改变。就只有求主怜悯吧。也感谢神让我们能够同组。实在是太奇妙了。神的恩典实在是够我们用。
