err..Pure Physics?

finally, the result for admission to Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) is announced on 10th june. i didn't feel excited to check the result because to be truth, i don't hope anything. besides, before this i've made my mind to wait for UTM's offer for petroleum engineering course. and after i key-in the information needed to see my result at USM portal, my laptop screen showed..

usm offers me my 1st choice:: pure physics

i'm sure that we all know that usm is an apex university in malaysia. therefore, i've been offered 'insentif sains tulen' if i registered in usm (rm1000 and rm300 book voucher). it is given to all students who take pure science or pure arts course.

sometimes i feel like going to pure physics ( i'm in love with physics), sometimes i want to run for petroleum engineering. i was confused. one of my friend said, "addy, if you can't be an engineer, then marry an engineer..!" hahaha..i prayed to Allah..asked Him to show the best choice..and He showed that i should go to usm and taking pure physics. so on 12th june, i accepted the offer..goodbye petroleum engineering..(sobs..sobs..) T_T

goodbye my dear oil rig.. T_T

my mentor in JMC, mr. andy once said to me..sometimes in life, things will not go as planned..so..just go with the flow for Allah know what we don't know..maybe it's the best for us..

here are some of the course outline for pure physics. i get it from USM webpage.
