Pissed Off

Yes. Looking at the title, it would be enough to describe what I feel. I am a final year student in UKM, taking TESL. I got Kementerian Pelajaran  Malaysia Scholarship. As we all know that most students in IPTA or IPTS in Malaysia get loan from PTPTN. ALMOST all. ok. So to say, MOST of the students get either PTPTN or KPM. It's fair right? We all have our source of money to study. And some other are fully sponsored by PAMA or father/mother.


We have been paying RM 1/week for the last few semesters. What's the money for? We will have gathering or BBQ at the end of the semester using that money. To me, it's fair enough, we get something from what we paid.


As for this semester (final semester) the treasurer asks us to pay RM2/week. which is RM28/semester. why? we planned to go for a trip by the end of this semester. Most probably we'll go to Langkawi.


OK now, what makes me pissed?




A paper has been distributed regarding the increasing of RM1 for the fees. That paper is supposed to tell the rest of the class about the fee.

"Korang, duit kelas kita sem ni seminggu RM2. sem ni = 14 weeks. so, I hope it is okay with you guys.."

 And when it has been passed around, it got back to my friend's hand with a few 'comment' from some classmates.


This is the comment which makes me pissed off.






"kenapa mahal sangat? kitaorg ptptn je...KPM lain laa.... seminggu seringgit sudahhhhh....! ta nak byk2..."






Urgh!! Do you really have to say things like that? This thing has been said since the first time the KPM holder get their allowance. I didn't really pay attention to that statement back then. But when they keep on saying like that, like; CONSTANTLY, it starting to get on my nerve. 




Here's what I want to say. I don't want to boast. But I feel bad as well.
We did not get the allowance by luck or chance. We work hard for it. 




KPM, PTPTN, what's the difference? It's just the matter of how you manage yourself. 
If you want to get good things, you have to work hard. Don't just sit there and complain, blaming and teasing the other. Because one way or another, it hurts.
