And that's what I felt now. That moment when I got announced and proclaimed by the school about my SPM result.
It's cool, It's awesome.... AWWWW YEAH!
It's 7A, 3B. I am at top of the world right now. How cool is that?
BY the way, with the SPM result already been obtained, I am going to get into the next level.
Up to recently, I've been searching on what I will go to next. Mainly, there are five options I can make, but only one can be chosen.... for real. They are STPM, Matriculation, Diploma, A Level, Foundation and finally.... Straight to University, Which one would be the best choice?
After a long justification, I've found out that :
1. Matriculation
One year study that is for science stream student like me. Though it is just one year, rumors said that the schedules were tight and hard. People who failed there could be expelled out of that school. Some of these flunked-outs were in fact students that got 10As better than mine in SPM. (WTH?!) The most chosen Matriculation here in Malaysia is KPM Matriculation. Actually, the program also offer two year study, but it's for someone who wanted to be pro on computer system. For more info, visit this website regarding Matriculation.
2. Diploma
This is another league - With chance to enrol into university with one year study almost instantly. Students who sign up for this study only specific subjects, and that will be easier because they wouldn't have to concentrate on other subjects. However, it is time-consuming : three years... longer than Matriculation and the rest of the options I mentioned just now. Right now, there are varieties or Diploma Programs offered by both private and even government entities. Once the student finishes the Diploma, he or she will enter the university at second year, far ahead than students who just finished the Matriculation, STPM and the others.
I guess this will be some of the reactions that Diploma students will launched out on us when we (not Diploma) met them in University.
3. A-Level
STPM in private form. However, it did not offer STPM for students. 90% of Non-Malay citizens here in Malaysia went through this course (according to recent statistics). The time taken for the course can range from one year, two years, and even six months,,, shorter than Diploma. Some of the A-level schools are like Sinar Bakti and etc. I am not quite interested on this option and now I'm going to touch about STPM.
4. STPM
Its other name Malaysian Highest Examination Certificate. The hardest, yet if the students could achieve it, they could secure themselves anywhere. STPM is hardest, as it takes one year and a half, and then during that time, they must come back to their same alma mater again, and had to cram themselves with a lot of chapters. Once ago, I saw my older brother carrying huge books, and it seems that he excelled through it depsite too many books.... and too thick of them.
5. Foundation
Same like Diploma, only study certain subjects, and only take one year. However, it takes place in certain place.... and only for students who aced on SPM.
6. Straight to University
Okay, this one could be the coolest. Straight to University. If you are the ace of SPM, the try to apply on UPU. There are many courses you can take from there.... but you must be careful, as the courses you took will determine your life after university. Good news about this option was that you don't need to go to any other options anymore.... you're done already, right? You're in uni already, right? Then, why should you enter STPM again? So waste-lah!
Okay, that's all I can say. All these are based on what I read and justified after two days of researches yesterday. See you in another post.
