Quantity Survey Course for jpa 2009

[jacky512256]

I would like to know is there anyone who apply for quantity survey course for jpa scholarship 2009... Tis course is not as popular as i think coz few student tat i heard of applying tis course....

[Keiko123]

I know dreamer1210 did only.

[aune]

let us hope that the ones who apply non-critical courses such as q.surveying will be considered fairly.

[jacky512256]

yea, i hope so... tomolo 3pm gonna noe the real result...juz pray and leave everything to GOD...

[bLaCk_PeArL]

I applied for qs and I got the scholarship. LOL. yeah, I agree its not as popular course as others.

[dreamer1210]

ya, i applied for QS in the jpa scholarship and thank god i got it. =) and i agree that QS is not really a popular course here.

I know dreamer1210 did only.
:offtopiccongrats for getting jpa too! :P

[Keiko123]

ya, i applied for QS in the jpa scholarship and thank god i got it. =) and i agree that QS is not really a popular course here.


:offtopic Congrats you too! :))

[bLaCk_PeArL]

I'm curious where they would sent me. Its either NZ, AUS or UK right? I wanna go to AUS but the other 2 countries wouldn't be so bad after all XD

[SYWong]

Me too~ I gt the scholarship~ thanks God...^^:))

[aune]

hey, i would like to know what exactly is the job of a quantity surveyor. tq

[bLaCk_PeArL]

From wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity_surveyor) The role of the QS, in general terms, is to manage and control contracts and costs within construction projects.
I noticed that those who got the scholarship for qs are from sarawak XD Cool. ^^

[SYWong]

black pearl...may i knw which town are you from?

[bLaCk_PeArL]

I'm from Sarawak too. From Betong specifically, but I've been living in Kuching after SPM.

[dreamer1210]

ya cool! female sarawakians like qs~ =D

[bLaCk_PeArL]

ya cool! female sarawakians like qs~ =D

LOL!! :P Thats good to know. At least I know that I wont be the only female sarawakians taking this course. :))

[SYWong]

Haha..who else are taking this course?

[dreamer1210]

Woo~ only 3 of us sarawakians? haha

BTW, I'm confused with what countries can we go after completing our pre-u? Cause from here (http://esilav2.jpa.gov.my/esila_new/pdf/2009_PILN/syaratpiln2009.pdf) (No.21), it stated that the choices are Australia, NZ and UK but from here (http://esila.jpa.gov.my/pdf/StrukturPengajianProgram-ProgramPILN2008.pdf) (No.3 and No.4), only Australia offers Quantity Surveying.

So does it mean that we will only be sent to Australia?:huh

[jenny3558]

I'm also female who gt the qs course under jpa.
But i'm not from sarawak.
Anyway,nice to knw all of you .
XD

No idea what to choose on.:)

spec math, choose spec math.
pei me la jenny~~ XD

[SYWong]

i've just received the offer letter this afternoon~
i oso gt inti nilai~

[hOHo]

yaya....i gt the same offer wif u...
high 5 my future classmate!
haha..
anyway..which 5 subj should v tk for our SAM?
congratz on getting jpa scholarship!!!!would u mind to me to tell me ur spm results?thks!:wink

[SYWong]

btw,,,it's stated tat there're rules and regulations for the INTI hostel on the reverse page of the form..
how come it's blank ==

[queendom]

I c.
By then spec math n chem,which 1 wi be tougher?
No idea what to choose on.:)

Im not sure with u all but me myself Im taking Chem, coz if I give up Chem my subject combination would have no science subject at all. I always want to do science so I decided to take up chem.

But this is really up to ur own preference. If u are confident enough to do Spec math it would be very interesting to u. But to ME spec math is tough :D

[dreamer1210]

I'd received my offer letter too this noon. Doing SAM at INTI Nilai and need to register on the 1 July 2009, 8.30am. Same to all of u right?

For sarawakians, when do u all book the flight ticket? 30 June?

:D congrats! That means I ll be meeting u all soon!

Anyway, ur subject combination will be eng, math, acc, econ and either spec math or chem, provided if jpa policy remains unchanged.

Emm, i thought QS did not have to do acc and econ. :cry no physics?

[jenny3558]

I c.
Thx for ur info.
But seem like the chem subject is nt relate to the qs course in future.
Meanwhile,I hope to do science.
Dilemma...
will consider abt it.

[dreamer1210]

Just for reference, below is a link to the sample questions of spec math. IMO, they are quite similar to add math and physics.
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/mathematics/specialist/pastexams/2006/2006specmath.pdf


I'm thinking of choosing spec math instead of chem too. Cause i don't wanna memorize all those chemical names. XP

jenny....pick spe math la!! haha:))

[dreamer1210]

emm, just discover that majority there are females from penang and sarawak taking qs. haha

[queendom]

Guess I ll just paste here what I've posted in the other thread.

Actually this depends on how u look at it. If u are good in math of coz spec math would seem more appealing to u chem would be more on understanding and memorizing instead of doing lots and lots of practices.

In fact, Inti initially set chem as our compulsory subject. But some of us argued that chem is not related to our future major so they asked for a change to spec math. But at the end most of us stick to the original subject mix. Thats why majority took chem.

I was also quite undecided initially. But at the end I felt Im more into science kind of thing so I took up chem, which means now im still doing experiment, getting in contact with scientific terms...which I loved during my sec school studies.

and btw.. I can show statistics.. haha

24 scholars in my class: 7 Town Planning, 17 QS. (All the JPA scholars of these two majors of 2008)
7 TP: 1 Guy, 6 Girls
17 QS: 6 Guys, 11 Girls
Of all 24 scholars: 1 Spec math, 23 Chem
and oh yah.. 5 out of 24 of my mates are from Sarawak! :)) u all have seniors dy

This is just for reference. :)

If u are taking spec math, u will be in the same class with actuarial science scholars(for only spec math class). Other subjects u will be with ur coursemates.

Queendom, thanks for all the info.:) i think u are the only inti senior here that we can "throw" all the questions about inti to u.:P

*Offtopic* Wanna ask some questions about living in inti. Do there have kettle, pillow, blanklet, bed sheet in the hostel room? is there a wardrobe and how is its size? thz again first!

No problem. :)

Uhm. They do provide pillow, blanket and bed sheet. U can bring ur own bed sheet if u want. If u get to live in Block A, the wardrobe is quite small. But its still sufficient for me la :) Kettle no, can bring ur own if u want. Anyway hot water would be provided so no worries.

I like Inti! Its fun to be here. :D
