Is anybody interested in taking a gap year(it means taking some time out of ur school life to go to certain places to do volunteering work or globetrotting or do something u really enjoy)?

I have information about various companies offering volunteering work in Sabah, Thailand, China, South America, South Africa etc, so pls contact me if u need it. The program length varies from 1 week to 2 years, so u can definitely find the time u like. As for $$, don't worry about it. Do a fundraising activity and u'll usually be able to get money easily. It's about a few thousand ringgit depends on how long u go.

U can choose either to teach english, help underprivileged children or people with disabilities, work in HIV/AIDS infected areas etc depends on ur interests. If u r interested or have such plans, i would advise u to plan at least 6 months prior to the trip to make arrangements n fundraise. My current plans are:
1. going to China(we have an advantage of knowing how to speak Mandarin) for 1 week during my holidays in 2009
2. Sabah 2-3 months in 2010
3. South Africa 3-6 months in 2010
However, i am still trying to get parental consent, so it's unsure yet. Just let me know if u r interested so we can go together as a team and help each other out, erm well, unless u dont want to go with me haha.. but also let me know la cuz i want to know, n i wont paksa u to go with me so dont worry.

(Btw if anybody is interested in climbing Gunung Kinabalu, u better apply/reserve 6 months prior to the trip too, this is told to me by a friend in sabah 'cuz u won't get any place if u apply at the last minute. It's usually full.)

Ok bye, i'm sorry to use up too much space in this blog, but since nobody really ever post anything, hehe suan le ba.. at least post some pics about gatherings marh!

10. JPA Scholarships
(Another big thing) I don't know if anybody read this in the newspapers, but i read it thru msian newspapers online.
For those who failed to get JPA scholarships(don't worry, me too), good news(at least i think they are), beginning this year(08), there are 3 compensation packages by jpa:

1. 9As & above and are in Form Six/matriculation are eligible for sponsorship right through their first degree in local universities. If they don’t get into university, the sponsor ends at Form Six or matriculation.
2. any Malaysian who gets into an Ivy League university (top universities in USA - Brown University , Columbia University , Cornell University , Dartmouth College , Harvard University , University of Pennsylvania , Princeton University , Yale University ) or Oxford and Cambridge (in Britain) or the Group of Eight in Australia, will be sponsored by the government, but in specified fields of study.
3. If you get into a local foreign university (a foreign university that has a Malaysian campus) — Nottingham, Monash, Curtin and Swinburne — you are also eligible for a PSD scholarship.

Information will be posted online at www.jpa.gov.my by early June. Applications can also be made then. Info from http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Sunday/SundayInterview/20080518093243/Article/index_html
-I think this is the thing that will interest most of us, so pls check out the website from time to time n let us know when the information has been posted. I'll greatly appreciate it. thanks!

For those interested in top universities in USA:
1. Harvard offers scholarships automatically for students from family annual pay less than US$60,000(approximately RM192,000, valid 24 May 08)
2. MIT offers scholarships automatically for students from family annual pay less than US$75,000(approximately RM240,000, valid 24 May 08)
-So the only problem is whether u can get their admittance. Don't worry about money. Most of the people in Malaysia has less pay than that right? Even if u don't, it's only a little bit more, they'll offer partial scholarships which will reduce the fees tremendously. UK has less financial aid though. (Shan, maybe u can consider this alternative to jpa but it's risky)


Note:
I don't know if u all are worried about financial aid for university studies now la, but i am, for mine. Personally, i think it's better to keep a note now about what scholarships u can apply for after u finish ur UEC/Alevels/ADP etc, so that u won't miss the deadlines. Anyways i will continue posting info about that unless somebody has any opinion about it, which i'll freely accept. For those who are interested in pursuing degrees in local universities but couldnt find any scholarships, u can contact me. There're a number of scholarships available for local studies so IMO(ONLY) u can try applying for those instead of applying for PTPTN which requires u to pay back later. Yet some of the scholarships have bonds, imo i wouldnt like that because u have to be stuck in that company for a few years after u graduate, but i'll do that if i'm desperate.
