Demotivated Yesterday II

I know sharing unfortunate events will indirectly show my weaknesses but i just need to let it out, here. I hope you guys would not mind.

Yesterday morning after the unexpected ditching drama in class, i received another news which was everything else but happiness. It was from the Yayasan. The lady on the other line informed me, I wasn't offered the Yayasan TAR Scholarship.. yea..my name was not in the list of those lucky people.

................

For those who had just started following my blog, i'm sharing the news with you now

  • Last year June, i sent an application to further my masters studies abroad, majoring in Masters in Commerce and Management. I chose Lincoln's University, New Zealand
  • Excruciating moments of dividing time to prepare for my proposal : Job Satisfaction And Motivation: A Study of Employees in The Banking Industry of Sarawak, Malaysia
  • Excruciating moments waiting for them to approve
  • Excruciating moments of getting letters of recommendation from my lecturers who were across the South China Sea.
  • Like crazy i sent the scholarship application without my offer letter 31st July,left my students to be attended by another teacher, and drove off from Sri Aman to Kuching with Cinta's driving like F1. Exactly 5pm, my application reached the Yayasan door. Drove back Sri Aman.
  • My proposal was approved. I was offered in.. happy
  • Sent in a copy to Yayasan.
  • Endless time studying for my IELTS (mid oct)
  • Scored 7/9. i was overjoyed. Min requirement was 6.
  • Called for Yayasan Interview by end of October..
  • Interrogation began..
  • Result, yesterday.
  • Sorrow..
sampai aku takde perasaan ok..9 bulan aku habiskan masa untuk uruskan benda ni saja..i was suppose to fly this saturday to Christchurh, NZ for orientation week..tapi apa aku dpt? takde..kosong..kosong ok.

Sedih aku..aku usaha mcm org gila nak dptkan tempat di Uni, nak lepas exam yang maha susah itu and nak lepas proposal..Bila semua aku dah dpt, duit pula yang tak mengizinkan.. My god, i could not find the right words, betapa aku sangat sangat kecewa.........sangat kecewa i cant even cry..in fact, i may have forgotten how to cry..

Tapi mungkin, Tuhan belum izinkan, takpelah.. aku redha..
InsyaAllah, ada hikmahnya..


note: i paid RM500 fees to sit for the goddamn exam.
