What major change?

I'm not a person who'd say this phrase out loud in person but..

F*CK YOU MSC Int./SEGi COLLEGE!!!

.....because I could do so virtually on my blog to let of some steam.

Dedicated specifically to the former Faculty of Creative Arts & Design department, since most of them left and the new management that took over who knows NOTHING as they'd lost the old student records.

Yes. A staff actually told me that around February this year while she was requesting our past USQ payment slips in order to checkout any outstanding fees.

I was supposed to be receiving USQ's Bachelor in Multimedia Studies qualification instead of Mass Communication. Thanks to a whole lot of management errors within the local department, regarding our fees, our enrolments, resource deliveries, lack of official USQ statements/letters, staffs leaving, crappy lecturers, bla bla blibity blabity blahh... After almost a year since I've appealed regarding my major, it all still came back to the SAME fruitless outcome.

(1) I didn't want to change my major dammit! I want to know WHY did I graduate in the major that I've not even complete some course in it?! Can't they just friggin' EXPLAIN or at least counter my appeal with an appropriate explanation about the courses that I've taken & its pathway rather than keep forwarding the "appeal to change major" shit to USQ.

(2) And so I got an e-mail couple days ago forwarded by a SEGi staff which: USQ thought that this student is being irresponsible for not appealing earlier before she graduate & that it's highly impossible to change major at this point of time. SCREW YOU! I've been questioning about this with SEGi long before I'd even sit for the finals last year! The reason why I'm going through SEGi it's because SEGi is an agent for USQ's Distance Ed. program & they're responsible in managing our enrollment!

Till now I still don't understand how did I end up with this Mass Communication cert when I haven't even took up some of its required course o_O (be it Journalism, Media Studies, PR, etc.)....;;; It's pathetic OTL
One thing's lucky is that companies don't hire people solely by what cert he/she owns in this creative industry.

This is how a malfunctioning brain works

It's that kind of moment again, where my mind wanders off thinking about L I F E . Nothing deep basically (how complicated can my mind go anyway..) , just a feeling of being pathetic and miserable.. and booooorrrreeeeddd........ *yawns* So don't read ahead of this post 'cos it's full of nonsense >8D


My RMIT application only got exempted for 3 subjects, which means I'd still have to do 3 years degree if I'm to go for it next year. While I could only manage to afford for 2 years' overseas study + living expenses... OTL *sigh #1*

I basically can't seem to draw anything decent out lately (or ever since I started WORK..?) Despite I've joined the art group in my office for this year's CF, and also there's the company artbook's submission, & also YUE doujin's submissions as well.. And it's already JULY!!! (which's just 4-5 months left to work on submissions!) ... OTL *sigh #2*

I think I need new friends. Or is work making everyone apart and distanced from each other? =_= *sigh #3*

Or even a boyfriend or a girlfriend (heck, I wouldn't mind to be honest) Matchmake anyone?? .................... WHAT AM I THINKING?!?!?!?!??! >O<;;; OTL *sigh #4* I felt like I'm being ignored too. Am I being too friendly or too scary/cold or et cetera... But then again, maybe I'm just plain bored -> sensitive =_= The ironic part is, the attention that I wasn't seeking/expecting eventually comes to me from time to time.. while the attention that I wanted NEVER came. YEY..~ *sigh #5*

Lunch time they were talking about who're the guys in the office now might suit me (why did I ever tell them that I'm blerdy single..??? ARGH) =A=;
Hey, I DO wish there's one (it helps build up motivation at least) BUT, unfortunately there's NONE. NONE NONE NONE.. OTL *sigh #6*

I shall stop & go to sleep now *crawls to bed*
Btw, TRANSFORMERS WAS AWESOME!!!!! <3<3<3

Moved blog. Studies.

Moved my blog to Blogger service. It's been YEARS since I last use Blogger. This will be my temporary (or permanent) layout template for now. Guess I'll need to figure out on the blogger codes/tags to work on my own layout ^^;

I think the information package I requested from Media Design School is LOST (it *must've* been evil Pos Malaysia.. & probably 'cos there's a DVD in it). It's been almost 3 weeks since I got their email noting that they've sent it. And today I've just received their 2nd email enquiring me about feedbacks on their information package/courses/MDS or NZ-related ("I still haven't got yer package yo~"). Well at least they do follow-up on enquiries by themselves; good online support I guess? I'll have to request the information package again from them anyway >_>

AIE, Qantm or MDS. Because it's only possible for me to go either Australia or NZ and not Canada/US. Betterbetterbetter choices: VFS, DigiPen, FullSail, etc even though some of their tuition fees are a little higher (well, not actually little..) but that's only the tuition fees. Living expenses in US/Canada are estimated to be higher than AUS/NZ (correct me if I'm wrong, I'll be happy to know I'm wrong at this lol) XD

The course I'm planning to take is related to Game Design btw (not programming) and Animation would be my 2nd choice (though I'm still considering on that). Mom was, "WHY d'you always pick to study these 'lang mun' courses??"... =A= My main interest are all that, and I don't want to regret in the future for not taking the opportunity to experience it while I still can.

About my degree studies, I still haven't receive ANY notice/message/email regarding whether I'm graduating or not from SEGi & USQ *except* a note telling me that I've got outstanding fees unpaid. The notice stated "USQ Fees: AU$2,075" .. and that's it.
I asked what are the fees I've not paid, and they (SEGi staff) DON'T KNOW and requested me to hand them copies of my past payment slips FOR THEM TO CHECK... because they've somehow LOST their student payment details when new staffs took over (they had such screwed up management system all along) *speechless* oAO;

And how the hell they could come up with that unpaid sum when they've lost their student payment logs? The lady told me that calculation came from USQ, not SEGi. Me & my dad are definitely sure we've paid all my due fees whenever a new semester begin (+double-checked with bankdraft statement), and now USQ hadn't receive parts of my payments. SO there's a loophole somewhere within SEGi in handling their student payments to USQ in a specific timeframe (you guys could get sued for this!). It's ridiculous enough that they, as an education institution could lose their student payment logs and ask for payment again despite knowing their own mistake. There's a difference between sending out 'warning letters' and request for copies of payment slips. Doi. Currently still waiting their (SEGi) response. My graduation date is around March though.
