« Previous EntriesA last post before flying off to Berkeley
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Yesterday I went to the JPA office in Putrajaya and met 4 other JPA Scholars who were going to the United States under the same inaugural JPA Ivy League and setara Scholarship Program. In total 6 Malaysians were offered this Scholarship to the US (UK another story), including the MIT girl who appeared in the [...]
Some academic related stuff…
Monday, August 11th, 2008Not that I needed it anymore since the JPA offer, but just to let everyone know that I was not selected for the AMCHAM-MACEE Scholarship, which is only given to one Malaysian per year. So here goes the e-mail (edited due to its grammatical errors):
Dear Ern Sheong,
Thank you for applying to the AMCHAM-MACEE Scholarship. It [...]
My Mum
Thursday, August 7th, 2008JPA is pretty slow in giving out the offer letter. I don’t think they realize that I will be leaving next Friday. But oh well, this is the Malaysian Government anyway. I left my handphone number twice and on both occasions there were promises of calling me back but of course, none did. Such is [...]
JPA offered a Scholarship for my studies in UC Berkeley!!!
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008***PRAISE THE LORD! He answered my prayers.***
I was driving in the afternoon around 5.30 today when Cher Hao called me and told me that the JPA Scholarship (Malaysian Public Service Department) application results were out.
So I told him my I.C. No. and after a few moments…
“Eh, you got it wei.”
“…wow… serious…”
I actually forgot that I [...]
ASEAN Scholarship thoughts
Saturday, May 31st, 2008The ASEAN Scholarship letter came in today for NUS. They offered to pay for my tuition fees and board and also throw in an allowance of SGD 4300 per annum.
The catch? 3 year bond with a Singapore company upon graduation. Yeah, I’ve heard of the argument. Job security in these bad times and all; nothing [...]
AMCHAM-MACEE Scholarship 2008
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008I just sent in my inch-think application to MACEE yesterday for this scholarship, which awards USD 20000 to one Malaysian every year through annual grants of USD 5000 for four years. And it is bond-free. A long shot and heavy competition, but I’m definitely crossing my fingers and praying for the best. They required, among [...]
Cluttered Mind
Friday, May 9th, 2008So many many things in my mind lately. Cluttered and too many things running around. Let’s catch some of them and place them in words.
1) Weirdly, NUS says that my application is still in “Application Processing” mode even though almost all of my friends already know of their admission decision into NUS. Maybe they are [...]
Hmmm?
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Maybe it’s still too early to say or the applications are still in process, but I applied to 7 scholarships (TNB, Tenaga, SC, Khazanah, National Infocomm Scholarship (Singapore), Sime Darby, and Shell) and got no reply from any of them as yet. (BNM deadline passed but I couldn’t be bothered applying…And I can’t see myself [...]

CIMB finally replied my e-mail!
Monday, March 24th, 2008Yeah so I asked CIMB whether there really was the purported CIMB Scholarship as stated on their website.
They replied:
