Issue Kolej Kediaman (2)

What to say for the system in UMS?
Speechless…

Ok, back to the topic regarding the Kolej issue. Seem that the kolej placement already came out in your SMP account. However, it seems that a few of you are in the list showm on the Kolej notice board of being rejected, but your SMP account said you are accepted. It considered a good news, I think so. But please do keep a copy of that good news as a prove. Print screen or what ever method you think is valid and can be as a good prove.

In my case, I was accepted in KKIP Kolej list, but in the SMP, I am being rejected and asking me to appeal.

What to say?

Whatever so, please email again to foodstep@yahoo.com if the different result occurred between the list in each Kolej and in SMP account and state your problem.

All the best!

Last year...

From my last year experience, as our seniors also had this kind of problem, this situation maybe a bit complicated as did not have a definite solution.

Last year, the percentage of rejection for Kolej also quite high (forget the real %), and the worse was KKIP case.
However, at the end almost all of them got a placement in the Kolej.

Here is the situation:


    • Currently, the University gives the priority for Kolej Kediaman to the
      future-UMS-first-year students.
    • The University already set a target of how many students to receive and the number will be given to Seksyen Perumahan, HEP.
    • Then the Seksyen Perumahan will reserve the place for them.
    • Normally the target they will set is quite high but when the actual turn up rate for the future-UMS- first- year students is not full and normally is 80% and as some of them reject the offer to study in UMS.


Hence, the 20% of the future-first-year students’ kolej placement will be given to those who had appeal including our SSMP students.

The challenge I think of for those has not confirmed your placement for Kolej Kediaman is:

You need to think where you need to stay for a few weeks (around 3 weeks) when you back in Sabah.
Penduduk Tanpa Izin (PTI) in Kolej?
Friends’ house in Kingfisher or Indah Permai?

SSMP foyer with sleeping bag?
Or….

Here have two question hope that can get some response or suggestions:

1) The solution for this issue where we have our LI then we lost our chance to stay in Kolej next coming semester.

2) Where to stay for a few weeks after back to Sabah if the Kolej is not confirmed at that time?
Your response/suggestion or comment can be written in the comment below.All the best!

Quick Make Appeal (Rayuan) ...

To those who do not get a place in Kampung:

Please do appeal (make rayuan) online as soon as possible in your SMP account.
Those that failed to get a place in kolej, their SMP account should have a column for Rayuan.
We will try appealing manually here in UMS for you all after the list compile completed on 2 May 2009.

Worse case scenario: 3rd week of July only will know the appeal result.

Status of Kolej Kediaman ??

Residents other than Kg E and NR,

Our status of kolej Kediaman still in the unknown state.
So, just be patient!

Christopher is helping us to follow up the issue.

Kolej Kediaman E issue again...

3rd Year SSMP students of Kg E,

As a list of name of people accepted to stay in Kg E was released yesterday (23 April 09, Thursday), but most of our batch students are not in the list.
The list is based on the form for those submitted (form available for those can take personally at Kg E counter at that period of time), hence most of us were unable to do that.

However, just relax!

A list of people will be rejected will post up at Kg E on Monday.
Those that not in the list, are in a state of Keep In View (K.I.V)

Hui San (Kg E Jakmas) and Whee Sim are helping you all to follow up.

A story from SARAWAK...

My LI was n still superb, til i dunno how to describe d. really no words to describe. Nway Im doin my LI at JKN Kuching, SARAWAK (Im PROUD)...There's alot of us here. Della, Cecelia, Mitchil and Nisa working in lab (sori guys, i revelead ur name w/o permission). Me, Aziemah and Siok Hui share d same suppervisor. And our working shcedules very flexible. and im not working today..haha. so i make dis as part of my work. Basically, we all have to rotate ourselves to many different places. so far i've been working at 4 clinics and JKN office. we also have to go food quality lab n dietetic unit.


I have finish my clinic duty. both Aziemah n Siok Hui still waiting for their turn. we have to rotate. Well, i really gained a lot of experience in clinics. Not only bout nutrition, bt also health n medical stuff. All the clinics have different stories to tell. and alot of things came unexpectedly. Basically, our duty is to give nutrition advice to malnutrition kids and anemic mother. its like a doctor punya job ler. We also have to give talk and do cooking demo. me n aziemah were attached at the same clinic in february. we saw a women gave birth. damn, it was scary man. i was n still terrified til now. u guys imagine, i was sweating in AIRCOND delivery room. i think my sweats dripped more than the blood. Aziemah is more excited than me. She took the front view of d process (like really looked at the vagina) and i only see from the side (but still very clear). The whole process was so exciting. It was like watching final world cup match. All the nurses there shout "PUSH PUSH" til the baby come out. After the baby come out waaa.....so relieved. and i was suddenly stop sweating. haha...he is a HE. the baby is a boy and his name is Luke. Both me and Aziemah claimed he is our baby. Aftr the baby come out, the nurses cleaned him up and put under light. while the other nurse pull out the placenta from the mother's womb. gosh, it was smelly n disgusting. The placenta is dark blue in colour, almost black. They have to make sure that there's no debris from placenta left inside mother's womb. toxicity. Im still traumatized by the event. guess i rather adopt a child. african maybe..haha.


Actually I just came back from my final clinic duty. Its somewhere out there (lol) and it 2hrs drive from Kuching. So i have to stay there for 2 weeks at the barrack house. Waaa...I was really like a survivor. That place called Sematan, a fishing village. At first i kinda like sad n worried coz thinking of life without astro n streamyx is sux. Nway it was ok accept for mosquitoes n noisy rumah papan. At nite the nurses on call have to rush to clinic if got patient ring them. So they will run and the house is shaking...thats include my bed. so cant really sleep for 2 weeks. And it was pretty scary. The barrack house is just next to a cemetery. Not long before i came got baby died. And a man also died. Buried at the cemetery. Every nite I was the last person to sleep. Sometimes my bulu on my bulu-less arm also standing...lol. cut the crappp...Hmm...I was abit jobless thr coz less patient and no anemic pregnant mother. So my focus is just towards malnutrition cases. I gave talk on malnutrition and underweight kids to food basket family. It was fun. Finally, i have built up my confidence talking in front of people. After the talk, the nurses began to distribute the food basket coz its time for them to collect. On that same day, the nurse bring me to home visit one of the food basket receiver. It was the worst case of the clinic. The baby is 9 mth old and under severe malnutrition. Kecik betul..Damn i cant believe what i saw. Their house got no door and windows. Its just open. The floor very sticky and dirty. i was wearing my most expensive working pants on dat day. kinda regret..haha. The house also no electricity and clean water. They depend on the rain and water from dunno where. But this family arr...haiyo, make you heart-attack only. The parents so irresponsible and not educated. The right word is STUPID...really...father is kaki judi and the mother buat bodoh all the time. Very lazy women. U noe wat, on the same day they got food basket, within that few hours they already open 3 packets of biscuits. They didnt eat them, play masak-masak instead. maybe inspiration from my cooking demo. I was so mad. And so did the nurses. they were nagging at the mother non-stop. I just stare blankly. We found some biscuits thrown outside. Not only biscuits, the kids also play wif marjerin and flour. Sigh. They are so poor and yet dun appreciate the food. They have no proper toilet. The mother said the toilet bowl is blocked. So im wondering how they do their business. And the toilet is open. So anyone interested in watching free show can go there. lol..haiz, enough of this stupid story. sakit hati jer...The nurses at the clinic all eat alot. At first i dun really wanna eat wif them coz they eat all the time. But when i refused to eat they started to force me. so eventually i have to join them. Before i go there, i lost 2kg in less than a mth. but aftr i came back i gained back that 2kg..sigh....all my effort exercising n healthy diet vanished=(


Actually got alot of things to share. But i lazy to type d. So in a quick glance, here wat i do. I went travel alot, follow my boss go visit clinics to check and monitor malnutrition records and anything to do wif nutrition. Under the scope of Pegawai Zat Makanan. Basically we travel alot. I also went to PLKN camp. I followed my boss do inspection there. Check whether the cafe is clean and see how they prepare the food for the PLKN people. I also joined some talk and meetings. Its complicated so better dun explain. Arghh..im tired d. so dats all for now. Chiao...
