My rattles on Unisel, Contradiction terms, & Over emphasis of rankings and Weird Raping case& stage Name (1st Sept)

From http://www.sinarharian.com.my/utr/content/story8125804.asp , I feel really funny n weird. D funny part is when d mom worry bout d suspect more than her own’s daughter (d victim). The mom dengan selamba berkata, “apa yang berlaku adalah takdir dan kehidupan anaknya tidak akan terjejas apa-apa pon,” D polis is also even more surprised when d mom ask d victim to retract back d report.
D funny part is also when d polis say “itulah kali pertama beliau mendengar pengakuan sedemikian rupa daripada seorang ibu yang menganggap maruah diri anaknya lebih rendah berbanding perogol itu”. Surely many ppl will scold d withdrawal to be stupid.

Taiwan’s 4 in love (band)’s weather-based name, Cloudie, Sunnie, Rainie, and Windie is rather weird & amusing. Why don’t add 9 more, ie Snowie, Stormie, Hazie, downpourie, breezie, Blowie, Coolie, Hottie, & brightie ??

My jobs or studies so far mostly not even got anything related to what I’d been study for my Biotech 1st degree. Can’t reap back what I’d sowed all these miserable 3 years erh.. I’m so blurred on scopes, till now I still don’t know what is biotech and which scopes it doesn’t cover. It’s subjective. Unisel still owes us RM200 plus tht is yet to be bank into our Islam Bank account; there’s still overall reasons I’m still unsatisfied with Unisel. Unisel should offer its only exclusive (early) grads to pursue PG studies in FOBALS/ Unisel, plus provides us allowances, internal & external research grants, etc.
They (ie To Whom It May Concern) should ask or consult us first b4 rename our bach. Prog. into Bac. Tech. in Industrial Biotech. It feels like we’re cheated, as our initial aim is to study broad Biotech degree, not Industrial Biotech. Yet they change it whilst we’re still completing the unsure full-LAN accreditation. Don’t cha think instead, our bach. Prog. should be BSc in Biotech (pure) instead of specific area of biotech?
I’ve got into wrong majors & wish I could even turn back time to re-choose again. Those more marketable options needed by industries is as follows, ie Microbe >>> Plantae >> Marine?
Unisel’s initial status very confusing. Semi-government, GLCs, private or fully government IPT, it don’t declares..
There’s not even a single labs & experiments exposure for critical Biotech subjects like Virology & Immunology, Biochem, Molecular & Cell Biology, Maths, Plant biotech, lingua at phonetics labs, Org. Chem, biostatistics, etc. Am not satisfied with these phenomena & yet d degree still fully accredited by MQA?
Photoshot shotted of convo damn too expensive er. And we’re not given even the softcopies or opportunities to choose which photos we like to be washed permanently into large frame. Thus, some of our faces are like sneezing, side-view, eye looks down, angry etc & yet we can’t photo framed it coz of embarrassment.
There’re so many typo errors in our Academic transcript, esp. at results! Result slips print differently. Cheap & less educated ppl lor.
Industrial training doesn’t even related to wat we’d studied & hope for practised. I hope to get exposure (in at least deep scientific fields) as much as possible but…
I got bad results in several subjects due to psychological & physiological imbalances. I wanna retake the class/labs/courseworks/final only/all and don’t mind paid extra credit hours to study or extra costs. Yet i can’t do so as prog. coordinator doesn’t allowed me err.. Shouldn’t we be allowed to retake poor subjects to increase our CGPA & well still able to grad in stipulated 3 yrs degree time?
I’d like to join the majors or minors but no minor er..
My fyp is very simple. It’s not wide in breadth & depth. I wish for more breadth & depth knowledge.
There’s uneven allocation among grades err. (For eg. There’s only subtle differences of +5 marks that spell differences between B & B+ or B+ & A; yet there’s vast differences btw C & B ie 15marks?)
There are no choices of language classes we wish to enroll just to satisfy credits requirement.
 We can only have 118 credits, but we can’t have wider choices, or choose to gain more credits as per in IPTA. We also cant choose to enroll or attend in any classes tht we like. Not even in par with Uni’s purposes to spread knowledge er.. Only profits minded only. I wished I could attend many types of non-academic complementary classes whilst in University, to enjoy life or memories & collect some credits at same time.
I wonder wat’s d differences among thunderbolts, bolts, thunderstorm, lightning, ball lightning , flash, rainstorm, storm… Hmm
If some words are interchangeable, then, why there’s a need of having multiple words referring to a same thing existed? Can’t the Eng. language stop importing loan words to confuse learners even more?
A thunderstorm is any storm in which thunder/lightning is involved. (thunder is the noise). A rainstorm is a storm that consists of rain. 
Lightning is the electricity that comes from the clouds. Ball lightning is another way the electricity comes down to earth. Flash lightning is just lights up at the sky for a very small time.
Thunderbolts are the same as lightning. But these tend to refer to fork lightning. Bolts, well, can mean a few things, but just dont use the word bolts
A thunderstorm is a weather-related occurrence that has thunder and lightning - not all storms have thunder and lightning. Ball lightning is a special form of lightning. "Flash" can refer to a lightning strike, or a flood ("flash flood"). "Rainstorm" is a weather-related phenomenon where precipitation is falling, and is generally windy. A "storm" can be related to either "rain" or "snow".

LOVE them or loathe them, rankings of universities across countries and regions are here to stay. Increasingly, scientific research and experimentation have become the major focus of universities. Sadly, advances in the North do not necessarily advance the interests of the South. The UN estimates that one-third of the world is well fed, one-third under-fed, and one-third starving. Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger. To satisfy the world's sanitation and food requirements would cost only US$13 billion (RM45 billion) -- what the people of the United States and the European Union spend on perfume each year. Have our universities faced up to the "human challenge" confronting the global community? Sadly not. We are mired in the game of trying to become the equals of the great universities of Europe, North America and Japan. For too long, however, universities have been mesmerised by the "publish or perish" paradigm  even though the "human challenge" we face is complex-ly multi-dimensional.
Same too, PG director who reject my monthly $ continuance should realized that his mistakes, the "publish or perish" paradigm. I belong to the one-third of under-fed and where’s his CSR? The mission of our UTP needs to include, meeting the socioeconomic challenges faced by the world's bottom billions ie me. Even such a reorientation of focus has been taken up by universities such as the UK's Cambridge and Imperial College London, and by America's Harvard, MIT and Princeton. Let’s ignore the irrelevant rankings of world universities, re-examine the fundamentals, and strive to be relevant to the pressing problems close to home in our increasingly challenging world. Today's UTP universities shouldn’t oblivious to the problems faced by the citizens. Citizens’ daily needs & allowances first.

Thts all ler.. Aiyah,很喜歡睡覺儿.. 睡眠不夠足.. ey hehh..(crossed finger)
