I owe friends some money. We owe Mercy Mission some money because we had pledged a donation to them but couldn't pay them during our student years because of financial difficulties. We owe another Islamic institute some money because we didn't have enough money to pay for their course fee and the textbooks at the time (yet they let us enrol anyway MashaAllah).
Least of all to be forgotten of course; dear M@ra's big debt. Since being overseas would mean significant fees for international bank transfer I don't think I'll let them cut my salary to pay them back. I think I will just set aside an amount each month and then just pay them the lot. InshaAllah.
Why this entry? Because I received my first newsletter as an alumni of the University of Melb0urne. Guess what they asked for?
Money, of course! Freaking unbelievable! People give them money to study there. A lot of money. Then when students graduate; they ask for donations one month postgrad. I don't know whether to laugh or sigh in frustration. Adoi

mara dah minta duit ke? setahu aku, it's gonna take a year at least before they settle the paperwork if you go home and report yourself. if you dont, they will ask after 2 years.
ahaha.. tak payah la layan unimelb minta duit tu.
kenapa kena bayar balik? scholarship kan?
takpe,slow2,insyaAllah akan dpt ada peluang :)
intan- tak, belum mintak lagi but since it's not a small amount of money i thot better simpan jugak. makin lama nanti bnyk lak hutang/expenses.
melb uni guna psychology u know.. "to give back" cewah. i do feel some obligation sbb donation alumni la aku dpt student grants dulu. but later2 la kan...ni baru nak kerja..adoi.
masyitah- nope. jpa je scholarship. mara convertible loan. so kalau graduate tak yah bayar 100% loan..just 1%. 1% pun hefty amount jugak la hehehe.
btul tu. give it some time first. baru je start kan.
my engineering honors society keeps asking for money. without fail. i keep getting the newsletter. never replied once. hehe.
