Hectic

If you have a child who had just finished SPM, wouldn't you worry about where he or she would go next? Of course as parents we all would plan for next level of study..I was much more anxious that my own daughter, Nina when it comes to her college applications. The not-so-good news was ... when the results from local varsities were out, she was unsuccessful.

With lots of patience and some pulling of strong strings...we got news that she has been accepted to UiTM Kedah. Sounded so remote and I began to worry. But study at UiTM means we don't have to fork up much for a local uni. So that weekend (8th May) we flew to KL and big bro Archie and dad drove all the way up north to survey the uni. Hey! Its a good campus! way better than the one in KK.

But the problem was the news wasn't formal..only through sms. (Risky eh?) Being me, I called the uni, UiTM Kedah and checked on the registrations dates. ( more than 15 times!!) You wouldn't believe this..the dates given on the sms didn't tally with the dates given by the uni. The sms stated 28th May(Hmm) It was about two weeks of yo-yoing and yet nothing was final. I must thank my sis-in-law in KL (thanks dear) for the advice and comfort.

One fine day (22nd May) while I was lying down flat as I was taken ill, I overheard Nina's shaky converstion on her hp about having to travel next day (23 May) to Kedah. (I was evesdropping). I recovered in split seconds and my brain functioned like the worldwideweb....ticket bookings, daily clothes, shoes, bajukurung, car rental to Kedah, hotel booking, personal stuff, food to much and oh no...have to buy luggage bag the very same day! It was HECTIC!!

Yes we did it! All done in 1 day and we (hubby, adik, Nina and me)were at the KK airport 6am heading for Penang...and big bro Dzwan was waiting at Penang airport to drive us to UiTM Kedah. Yes .. smooth registration and back in KK the very next day. It was like a dream... and now everyday I plan of how to escape to Kedah......
