MBA - Road to Japan. #5foraFriend
To all who have donated, I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
I received my admission pack today via email. I am so happy to see that this is done, as the last week has been such an emotional rollercoaster ride of the highest of highs and the lowest of low. I'm glad to see that with the help of my friends, I have managed to overcome the first hurdle of changing my conditional admission to a full fledged admission, with a scholarship. One of 20 who were awarded by the university to be a part of the first batch of their first full-time English MBA course.
Now, in the process of getting there, I have learnt, that I can still not touch my EPF, because I got a scholarship and EPF will only release funding if you have a receipt of sorts to show that you have paid for your/your children's education. I have also learnt that MARA does not look on to MBA loan/sponsorship because this degree is "too general". Whatever that means. I am submitting the application anyway.
So, I look upon your help to help me reach this dream of mine. I refuse to let this slip away. Living in Tokyo will be a dream come true and I know it will happen, I just need to get funds up. A #5foraFriend fundraising gig will be held soon, so I will post up more details on this page once more info is more firm. But it will be held at the end of the month. :)
UPDATE after DAY 1:
Paypal Donations: USD250.00
Bank Transfers : RM (not checked)
THANK YOU. Much love to all.
