Kia - the power to surprise.

That’s what at the back of my head as I reflect back the news I’ve received yesterday from Mun Teng. You see, she has applied for this scholarship and study in Germany. Yes, praise the Lord that the University had replied back, and called her for an interview! But surprise surprise, the interview will be in Mumbai, India! The place where initially I was supposed to go ( I was due to go with my colleague, however due to last minute change of plan I didn’t go).

Well, first and foremost. I rejoice because she has been called for an interview from a German University. But shame on them the venue will be in India. Why? Why do they even want to do it in India. Is it that majority of their Asian applicants are from India? Why not Singapore for the ASPAC applicants? Or even HK. India. Well said. First thing I do is to check the flight as if Mun Teng would go there alone, I’m not that comfortable of her safety. Mind you. The ticket are not cheap. RM 2000 for a return air ticket from MAS. The next cheapest I can find is Jet Star, which the difference is not that much I would say. Air Asia has since aborted all of its flight to India, and even so, they don’t have a flight to Mumbai. Well Well Well. This is enough to give me some headache, for today at least. Or dilemma I would say. Let’s concentrate on this Sunday’s Marathon.
