Assalamualaikum w.b.tHarap semuanya sihat-sihat belaka. Ni sedang berhibernasi dalam musim sejuk di Malaysia. Ala-ala winter dah, nasib tak turun salji je. Kalau tak memang tak keluar rumah dah. Berstokin sepanjang masa dalam rumah. Selimut dah jadi pakwe kedua setakat ini. Erm, baru sudah brunch (breakfast + lunch) gara-gara syok sangat tidur, maka bangun lambat. Sejukkkk sangat.
Ok, tadi google kat Yahoo (Google in Yahoo?), terbaca artikel yang menarik, saja jelah nak kongsi pasal yuran-yuran kolej termahal di dunia ni. Jom tengok kat bawah ni. Ambil 5 kolej je. Terfikir juga, yuran sekolah sihir Harry Potter tu mahal ke tak eh? -__-?

Tu dia...terbeliak mata tengok nombor-nombor tu. Bersyukurlah universiti, kolej, institut di negara kita ni tak kenakan bayaran yang mahal-mahal sangat, melainkan kolej swasta, tapi tu pun tak adalah mahal sangat. Tapi kalau yang dah cintakan ilmu ni, bayar berapa pun tak kisah untuk belajarkan? Jangan kedekut nak belanjakan harta untuk ilmu sebab ilmu ni lah penjana harta kita suatu hari nanti.
