Life@KDU College – Khairul Amin

Let me be frank, I dreaded the idea of attending KDU. I even felt a bit of resentment for my sponsors when I found out that they would be sending me there for A-Levels. To me, KDU seemed like nothing compared to the big names of KYUEM, KTJ and Taylor’s. Heck, even KMB sounded likeContinue reading “Life@KDU College – Khairul Amin”

Life @ Epsom College

When I first started joining Epsom, I was afraid that I wouldn’t have any friends but turns out Epsom is more welcoming than I expected. Having been in a boarding school before, I was very used to boarding but Epsom gave me more of an experience. I decided to take the opportunity to be aContinue reading “Life @ Epsom College”

A-level Life in the UK

A-level lasted two years, and I finished mine at a private girls school, full boarding, in the UK. I must admit, a year before that I had never even considered going abroad for studies, as no one else in my family had done so before. But when many of my other friends were applying itContinue reading “A-level Life in the UK”

Life@Kolej Yayasan Saad International School (KYSIS) – A-level

I was first enrolled in AUSMAT in Sunway College for about a month when my SPM results came out and that was when I decided to do my A-Levels at Kolej Yayasan Saad International School, Melaka (KYSIS). Frankly, I was quite apprehensive since this was the first time that KYSIS teaches A-Level. There was noContinue reading “Life@Kolej Yayasan Saad International School (KYSIS) – A-level”

Life@International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) – International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP)

I first entered the International School of Kuala Lumpur as a student in 6th grade (form 2 equivalent). Previously coming from a British School background, the transition was admittedly difficult. At first I had to come to terms with quintessential American terms like “tardy” (which means late, not a contraction of retarded…), “cafeteria” (instead ofContinue reading “Life@International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) – International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP)”

Life@Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar – A-level

Naturally boarding school may sound like an unnerving idea to many. Vague notions of having to live away from home for the very first time and to become independent in such a short span of time certainly sound daunting. The reality of things at Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar (KTJ) is far different. Let’s look at someContinue reading “Life@Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar – A-level”

Life as a STPM (Physics-Chemistry) Student

‘Hello there!’ ‘Good morning Mdm. Nancy.’ ‘Good day to you sir.’ That was basically the routine for me, every single morning of my life whenever I bumped into a teacher or the principal. Pretty straightforward and ‘old-school’ I would say, however for me, it is a courtesy and doing so is my pleasure. Born andContinue reading “Life as a STPM (Physics-Chemistry) Student”

Life as a STPM (Arts) Student

What subjects did you take and what were the possible subject combinations out there? Both in your school and any other schools that you might know of. We are only allowed take up a maximum of 5 subjects and usually a minimum of 4 subjects. I’m not too sure about the possible subject combinations butContinue reading “Life as a STPM (Arts) Student”

Life@Abbey College Cambridge – A-level

Abbey College Cambridge is a small, private college situated near the train station, in the city of Cambridge. They offer A-Level, GCSE and foundation courses although the subjects offered are somewhat limited due to size of the college. In terms of the application for the A Level course, it was fairly simple – most ofContinue reading “Life@Abbey College Cambridge – A-level”

Life@MCKL – A-level

Image Source Methodist College Kuala Lumpur. I’d never even heard of it until my next door neighbour attended college there in 2012-13 while I was in the last two years of my secondary school. Looking back, I have no idea why I so confidently decided to do my A-Level at MCKL. The minute I heardContinue reading “Life@MCKL – A-level”
