Got a letter from
As a result of your performance in the recent examinations, it says, you have been elected a Junior Scholar.
Yay! A title. Yaz, a Junior Scholar. Actually, this is the title they give to everybody who got a first, but still, it does sound cool, heh heh.
Oh, the title also comes with £175 award. I also got another two hundred quid worth of Tripos prize money (course/subject prize) so altogether it’s worth £375. Pretty good, huh?
Well, not exactly.
The money will be credited to my college bill. The thing is, my sponsor reimburses me for everything on the bill, so in all actuality, the prize money doesn’t have any effect at all.
Pretty disappointing, huh?
Sigh. Yup, I wish they had paid me cash.
(Materialistic) Yaz.

Huh. I hate materialism.
Hey!
We're talking about money going to waste here (well-earned money, note). How much is that in ringgit, RM2500? Can buy a new desktop with that :)
See! Materialism.
Fine, fine, have the last word =p
