Again, GSO has failed to bank-in my scholarship for the month of November 2008. i wonder what are their excuse this time. How am i going to pay this semester's fee of RM1350? Borrow from a loan shark?

The GRF scholarship does not allow us to have two or more simultaneous incomes, and yet their actions speaks of forcing us to breach the scholarship contract.

Currently, am on a 2-week vacation at my hometown :D. Am home very early and very long due to monsoon season and Raya Haji, as well as sold-out bus tickets :p. Even though it's the rainy season here in the East Coast of the Malay Peninsular, it was kinda bright and hot this morning. However, as noon is easing away, so is the brightness; dark clouds are waiting to pour their contents :s.

Speaking of bus tickets, the one-way fare from KL to KB is
RM30.80 (fare) + RM9.30 (30% surcharge) = RM40.10 (total)!
Am wondering when are the public transport fares going to take a hand-in-hand downward hike with fuel prices. i wonder what is the government doing to ensure the welfare of its rakyat (people).

GSO UPM didn't bank-in my scholarship for one month :( that's why i was not able to make any payments last month.

Right now, am in the midst of waiting for GSO's email reply about the missing payment. i'm wondering what excuses are they brewing... Missing documents? World economy recession? Forgot? My fault?


=== Update: 27 Nov 2008 ===

GSO has secretly banked-in the scholarship :D. Thank you. No, no-GSO officer replied my email.

The proverb in Pic 1 is from the post (that is not mine :p),
Chinese Proverb of the day 070515.

The meaning of the proverb, 各花入各眼 (gè huā rù gè yǎn), is,

Different flowers matche different eyes
[Beauty is in the eye of the beholder]
~~ from the post Chinese Proverb of the day 070515
at CozyChinese.COM

i know there's a typo in the quotation but i purposely let it be as it is ;p

The pinyin and meaning is checked here, 小马词典 - Xiaoma Cidian.

Pssst! Anyone know the name of the flower in Pic 1? Local name, scientific name, anything? This isn't a trick question; i've no idea myself :p
