I will be graduating from diploma most probably in this October, probably and hopefully it will be in this year. I know I still have around 9 more months to think of where should I go for degree, but you see, I've been worrying about my future so much that I've went surveying best universities that put my course as their priority.

After days of sleepless night (because I was too immersed in researching), for local university, I will choose Multimedia University (MMU) as the one that I want to be apart of. It's been said that MMU provides the best facilities for anyone who wants to advance in faculty of engineering and technology and also faculty of computing and informatics. MMU is Malaysia's first private university which was set up through Universiti Telekom Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of TM. 

Since it's a private university, the fees is quite high for an average human being like me. Hearing rumours that alumni and even current students of MMU have been calling it as "Money Making University" since they used students' money quite a lot...? And truth be told, I heard bad rumours about MMU despite its high achievement in education. Sometimes, I feel hesitant about my choice to be in MMU for degree because of those weird rumours going around but I guess I should not feel that way, as the reason why I diligently study now is to be admitted to MMU.

But it's never wrong to make plan B, so I thought of surveying overseas universities as well.

Being the child of alumni of Acadia University, I began to do my research on my desired course there. Seems interesting, since it's located in Canada. Earlier this month, I e-mailed one of the university's representative and asked about scholarship and the award for alumni's child and I got the reply this morning and guess what? Since I was born in Canada, I am still considered as a Canadian. Which means, I only need to pay for fees in the same amount of other Canadians and will not be charged as a foreigner. Looks good, right?

Everything looked as fluffy as cotton candy but my imagination was ruined after I converted Canadian Dollar to Ringgit Malaysia. My dream, my hope, they crushed into pieces, literally. The tuition fees alone reached tens of thousands, I can't imagine the total I had to pay including airplane tickets, dormitory fees, meal fees, registration fees, etc. No, I would rather go elsewhere and let go of my dream to go back to my birthplace. Sorry, Acadia University :(

So I heard that studying in Asian countries are way cheaper so I went lurking around the sites of famous universities in Korea. I've been doing that since 2010, but my heart is really fond of Yonsei University for an unknown reason. To compare being accepted by MMU and Yonsei, I will say that I'm dying to be known as one of Yonsei students :( I tried to convert the tuition fees from Korean Won to Ringgit Malaysia, and I can say that somehow it is cheap. Well, at least still cheaper than Acadia's. That was tuition fees alone so I don't know how much the total fees will be.

...so I was on Google Image for Yonsei and Acadia images and wow, they were located on such beautiful landscapes! My photographer heart, please keep calm :'( Look at Yonsei! Look at how delicious-looking autumn colours painted the whole campus! So beautiful, mother of nature. But then, I was reminded that Acadia University was first established on year 1838 and it is said that Yonsei was one of the oldest university in Korea. Hmmm, older universities with beautiful landscape... /eyeing the somewhat new MMU/

So, well yeah. I've narrowed down my choice to this 3 universities. I talked to my parents about MMU and it seems like they're okay with that, let's see what is their reaction if I voiced out my opinion about studying in either Acadia and Yonsei. Hmm.
