Here some comments about my school quote from forum:

"I was at Liverpool last year doing architecture and I dropped out :/
If you're into the arty side of things it's perfect for you, but if not then I wouldn't recommend going. I also didn't like that they didn't give you enough time to do things and there being crits twice a week, was so manic like all the time. The work isn't 'hard' just extremely time consuming"

"Yes I had an offer for K100 too.
Well the project I didn't like doing and ended up leaving before finishing was like you had a list of words and had to pick a couple of them, find out what they meant, and they seemed to be words which would describe artwork. And then sort of portray those words in a buildingof your own design.
There's alot of drawing and stuff and using different mediums. I felt really embarassed showing my rubbishy non-drawings against other people who have been drawing for ages and have lots of experience.
Another thing I didn't like was that they didn't have lecture notes or anything so you have to rely on your note taking, and they don't spell out any names of foreign buildings either or the architects which made it hard to keep up and revise."

EDIT: Tons of typos lol

Design. I was hoping there'd be more maths .. but nope

"no one school is great, especially after seeing the the liverpool degree show.its absolutely plain; could be from any school ofarchitecture in the uk, no styule no finesse, totally practical (which by the way is absolutely fine if thats what you want) but architectureis an art...judging by lpool they dont see ot that way... i guess if you just wanna be an architect then you may aswell go to liverpool, i dont think your good enough for the aa anyway. but if you thought there was more to architecture than just buildings then you'd go to the aa. it may look sculptural and unsupported but theres a years work there so how are ppl going to understand it from one image, dont be so naive. my reaction being extreme was generated from how extreme i viewed your comments. im not going to write anymore arrogant posts dont worry. theres no point..."








Conclusion: I have to prepare b4 going there...

Btw, I knew a guy from hei Long Jiang, China which will be my coursemate..hahahahaha

Legend of a boy!

If busy..pls dont read it..
If sad..pls dont read it
If feel too long, pls dont read it
If happy, pls dont read it..u will b sad...
If bo shu zou, ma read it lo..


























Now..Finally I can announce to all my blogger readers!
I have chosen University of Liverspool School of Architecture as my choice for undergraduate Architecture studies.
I dont really know why I chose it. But seriously, this choice really made me cried for many times. pls don't ask me why I chose it afterwards. I will tell u all now, Full and Completely.

The story begin like this, after the STPM result announced. erm..gt a school boy named MrP.
He thought he will enter local uni directly afterwards. But dont know y? His father suddenly asked him to go oversea to study. At 1st, that boy think that it could be very costly to go oversea and he was very scare that time. Kept thinking whether should choose local or oversea.
At 1st, his father asked him to go AUS. okie..he dont have any ideas to go which Uni. NVM. his father recognised him an Architect back from AUS. The Architect told him, Melbourne Uni, Monash and RMIT in AUS are best to study Archi and didnt worry about drawing skills. It will be tought there. okie..At that time, the silly boy didnt have any direction, on9 checked the informations. But it was hard for him to apply himself.So, he decided to find agent called JMECC to help him. But that agent told him have to take IELTS exam. So, that boy straightly went to British Council to register. At that time, he thought the examination was too expensive! RM900++ for whole process. Unfortunately, he just got Band 6.0 whereas the Uni requirement was Band 6.5..So, he got a conditional offer letter from those uni. During the time he took IELTS, got an uncle told him go UK la..UK better la..UK better for Archi.At that time, he didnt think about going UK, he thought Uk will be more expensive. So, he didnt think about it..But, this time his father came out again..His silly father asked some friends. His friends told him that Uk better...Go UK better..that MrP that time jz follow his father's wish la..go Uk ma UK lo..the money not paid by him..so he didnt think much..so..he met an agent called interstudy which the uncle recognised him..actually that company is that uncle's daughter's company. His daughter promote the best school in UK. Manchester School of Architecture. But..His daughter asked MrP to prepare portfolio. that time she told MrP..jz cincai draw some sketches will do..Okie..then applied that Uni..that MrP sitting at home waiting for 1month..still dont have any news yet! MrP quite angry with this kind of slow application..then the agent told him..The Uni jz accept 40 students..OMG! How come MrP will enter that Uni with the poor portfolio that he submited..So..Wasted 1 and a half month waited a rejected from MSA.MrP quite disappointed and quite sad.He declined Melbourne Uni's offer which considered a good uni also. That time he really sad. Okie..He learnt from this kind of lesson.so..he decided to apply more university...He applied Dundee Uni, Queens, Liver together..3 unis together through UK system called UCAS (in Msia, we have UPU) abit same la..it is an agent to process the application..In this time, he produced a better portfolio, using computer to do it.quite okie for someone who dont have art based..so..he waited again..But! the UCAS application deadline was 30th June 2009..He worried if these 3 unis he didnt get..then he will die in Msia..okie..he added 1 more choice in UCAS,Newcastle Uni on 30th June 09. after somedays..He received many universities' notification that received his application and letter from UCAS too..He waited again..waited for the outcome..on 6th July..He got his 1st Uni in UK- Dundee Uni in scotland..few days later he got another Unis again Queens Uni Belfast..this 2 are good unis...so..his agent (interstudy) called him..since Interstudy didnt represnt Liver..so they asked MrP to decide asap whether accept it or not..MrP told them, wait for few days..he will give the decision to them..During the days, he was thinking...If he can get Liver..he will very happy..If didnt get..dont need feel sad also..quite Liver really a good Archi school even better than Manchester if compared from rankings...this time, he really worry..he worry if he get Liver..He really dont know how to choose...He wish not to get Liver that time...than he can straightly go Dundee..since Dundee not so HighEnd...the place also very nice.it is a small city with good scenery like cameron...whereas Liver is a poluted Big City..so...he didnt want to thik that 1st..waited Liver come out 1st...He not think about Queens..bcoz Queens expensive and not good...Queens is well known for Medic, Engineering and not Architecture..so he gave up this Uni...Dun noe it was fortunate or unfortunate, He got Liver's offer...So now...The BIG problems occured...He compared both places Dundee and Liver seriously...
Undeniable..Liverpool is design based university and it's standard is about the same with Manchester..Dundee althought not so famous..but it is a good uni for Architecture in scotland..
He was thinking both places' environment..2 diif type environment..1 is City type..1 is Village type..City type is a type where many developments and buildings..whereas village type is a place for recreation..very enjoyable..of coz it have clubs cinema etc...but it's building there nt much..looking at both uni facilities...since MrP havent in this field, he dont really know how to compare the facilities exactly..so he think both uni are the same..Cost fees both..about the same..the important thing he worried much was he cant study well in Liver..He worried he fail there...Many of uncertainties pop out in his mind...He totally Lost...From the beginning until now..What is he desired the most? what should he get ? He really dont know...He really dont know....Why he want to study architecture? too many questions marks occured..He really worried he cant study well..this is the main concern..Of course the key to answer all this questions is preparations and hardworking...He chose Liver for the 1st time...After 4 hours..he changed again.after he completely look through Dundee website...the other day..he changed again...all of his friends asked him to go for better ranking...he changed again...the other day..he went to find his Agent (interstudy) the agent told him about Dundee again..the agent told him..if without any art based shouldnt try for highEnd uni...At that time...His mind really gone crazy and lost..His mind flip flop between this 2 unis..He was thinking that both place is the same...Is jz for knowledges..Jz depend on ourself..whether we can cope it or not..It depends on our own fate..So..he cried that time..He really felt sad..why should go so far place? he really regret..This called sendiri cari pasal..Afterthat, He cooled down...He was thinking at 1st why he chose Manchester? It should be no problem to go Liver..It's standard is about the same..Why he need to worry so much? He become open-minded after thinking of this point..He knows every place he go will fail if he dont hardworking and have a good attitude on it...sometimes...we shouldnt overthink some problems...It jz torturing ourself...
So, he decided to go Liver as his FIRM choice...
His nightmare havent ended yet...
He went to agent where represent Liver..Aused Unied located at Pulau Tikus..This agent not willing to help him! May be is bcoz MrP applied UniLiver himself..not the company represent....
the company cant earn from him...If MrP want them to help him..He have to pay the RM100 charge for applying the VISA..WTF agent..other agent didnt charge! further detail pls look below..
letter from "lover"pool
letters from UCAS
Melbourne Uni. Got it.Rejected it
Didnt apply
withdrawn last minute
I desire to go this Uni very very very much. Unfortunately, they rejected me
this is all the books that agents gave me. Now, it became rubbish on my desk
MSA again. Look at it will make me kek sim
Got it. Rejected it..=.=
I received UM letter. rejected it
This is the best agent, I really got a lot of helps from them, the good thing is, they didnt charge me! The Uni they help me applied- Manchester Met Uni, Dundee Uni, Queens Belfast.
I cried in front of them. Bcoz I really dun know which uni should I choose. Too Strees.
But now..okie liao la.
Lol, this 1 ar..erm..I think they want to earn money too. they helped me applied to Melbourne Uni & deakin Uni. I got both uni. Rejected them too.
err..this 1 ar..Ah su recognise it to me d. I was forced to meet him. I think his advises quite good too. But I am not interest to his university. He promote Uni Tasmania, Uni Newcastle Aus, Uni Newcastle UK
this is the most agent I ever meet! Damn sucks agent. This agent represent too many country liao and I think the reason why they can represent so many Unis is they earn alot of money from students! U all noe wat has he did to me? Actually.. I applied Uni of Liver myself but was under Interstudy. Since Interstudy didnt represent Uni Liver. I have to find the other representative. Unfortunately, whole Msia jz 2 company represent Liver. that is MABECS at KL and this fucking company at Pg. I think may be I applied myself. They cant notified Uni Liver that they represent me. so they cant earn much from me. The Most part that made me angry was they want to charge me RM100 if I want them to help me. WTF! So..I rather do i it myself. This kind of F*** company. PUI!

Happy??

Below is my Email that I sent to my Edu councellor:

Hello,

erm....suddenly I change my mind to Dundee.
Now I have to summaries all the consideration to you.

1st...the facility
I completely looked through both Uni's facilty. I really dont like Liverpool 1..
it is a very small place and open space..And surprisingly it was built on 1987. Even older than me...lol
erm..I will find you on this coming Monday to look more properly on Dundee Architecture Studio.

2nd...the student work
Erm..I have found the student work for Dundee in the website..It hide on a small place..
erm...Basically, the student's work I saw from Liverpool is 3rd year..whereas Dundee is jz 1st year student work..
Undeniable, Liverpool posses better student work...I just can say  Liverpool's student designs are more realistic?
whereas, Dundee teaches student to think using their own thoughts. Erm..after comparing...for me..I feel I should go Dundee..
because..may be I will develop my 1st thinking skills 1st...If afterwards I really think Liverpool's designation suit me..then I will change there after 3 years..or may be 2nd years if I really dont like..oo..and 1 thing is Dundee can let student work on 1:1 for architecture..I think Liverpool dont have enuf space for student to do that...

3rd...the Scottish English and British English
erm...my friend in Edinburgh told me...Scottish have a very strong accent...erm..may be it is an disadvantage at 1st I go there...(may be strong accent can help me to improve my english?)lol

4th....Fees...
Erm..actually If I get Liverpool International scholarship...I think Liverpool total expenses will lower than Dundee for 1st year....but the fees I am not worry about it...jz let it be..since both uni expenses roughly the same...

5th...Services..
Erm...I met Unied jz now...erm..for me...I think he doesnt listen properly on what I needed actually...he even made me worry...He told me that why I was choosing Traditional University to do architecture..He told me that Robert Gordons posses strong architecture teaching...erm..that time he told me like that..I think it is no use to tell me..the deadline past..made me felt bad about my choices nia...And I am worrying..If I let them send me to Liverpool..they will not take care of me...since they represent too many universities...whereas I know you will help me all the time...
I really need to say thank you to you for helping me all the time...

6th...the environment
Erm...this 1 very subjective..actually I like Big city life compare to small city life...so..quite sad about this..

7th....Famous
Liverpool famous for it's name..many of my friends asked me to go to Liverpool..they said we jz live in this world once ...y dont choose a famous place to live on...erm...I think it is true...Dundee really not famous among Malaysian....  

8th...the ranking!
It is the most HeadACHE part!..Should I choose for better ranking or better environment???? this is the main thing that I really concern..when I am thinking of this...my heart will change to Liverpool again...sad!...erm..for me...in this realistic world..many ppl are looking on "Big Names"..I really think it may a bit influence after I graduate...Since many ppl really looking at it's ranking...

So...Conclusion is.............................

I should choose ranking or environment ???

thanks for reading!

ye seong


Erm....what do you all think? Erm...I really dont know my choice will be right or wrong..And I dun noe I will regret afterwards or not...But...after I choose Liverpool , I really felt unhappy..but after I emailed my Edu..said that I changed my mind..my body felt relief...It's true..tats mean I really like it..And I have to make sure I wont regret afterwards!..
I have to study well so that become top student in Dundee!!! Hopefully I will!!
sorry for many grammar mistakes....lolx

confuse..fuse..fuse..

I got all unis liao...
but really confuse which 1 to choose..
should I choose ranking?
or choose cheaper 1?

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

secure or serious?

Boring nia...stay at home..I don't know what to do...
Aiks...damn sienz...to whom may concern..
I secured 2 university's offer namely Queens and Dundee..
stil left 1 university to go..(liverpool)
Aiks...start to worry since I havent got liver yet.
erm..actually between 2 secured universities..
I already gave up one (Queens)..because that uni not so good in architecture..
now stil left D and L..
If I don't get the one I waited...I will feel sad...
But if I get it, I have to make decision..
either choose it or decline it...
I am worrying my decision would affect my future later..
let me compare this 2 uni..

Dundee
cheaper
peaceful
can get accommodation easily
the city not so hectic
Uni ranking not so good
but architecture ranking quite ok

liverpool
expensive
famous, environment not so good
architecture ranking quite high
Uni ranking ok also..

I dont know want to choose famous 1...or peaceful..
about the ranking...I not so care...but for me dundee really not so famous....
choose liver...I scare I cant study well...
choose Dundee...I scare not worth to pay the money...
