Asian Scienc Camp - Closest Chance to Japan ever,But Fail.

Following successful camps at Taipei(2006) and Bali(2007) , the 3th Asian Science Camp will be held August 2nd - 8th in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. There are about 200 outstanding science- orientated students, who will be selected from high schools (final year or twelfth grade) and colleges in and around the Asian region will be attend to ASC 2009.The main subjects that will be talk about in ASC2009 are physics and chemistry.A majority of Nobel lectures in physics and chemistry area had been invited to ASC 2009 too.They are:

Leo Esaki	Nobel Laureate in Physics 1973
Makoto Kobayashi	Nobel Laureate in Physics 2008
Masatoshi Koshiba	Nobel Laureate in Physics 2002
Yuan T. Lee	Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1986
Ryoji Noyori	Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2001
Koichi Tanaka	Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2002
Samuel C.C.Ting (to be decided)	Nobel Laureate in Physics 1976
Chen Ning Yang	Nobel Laureate in Physics 1957

Ok,fine,turn back to my story.No doubt,I am extremely interesting to attend to the ASC 2009.There is not only a life-changing opportunity can be expected and it also the best chance that I can have a trip to Japan.Hence,I started to contact to the person who handling to do the selection of students for represent Malaysia to ASC 2009,Prof Dato' Dr Mohd Jamil Maah.Then,I also starting prepared the material that needed such as resume,teacher's recommendation and others.After all, I was exciting and waiting for his reply.

Just few days ago,closer to the deadline for apply to the ASC 2009,Prof Dato' Dr Mohd Jamil Maah had replied me that I had already into the short-list which properly will get the chance participate to ASC2009.Hoping and wishing,wishing and hoping,the final result had been announced at 13 April.It was his reply:

"We have to consider the seniors first as their chances to be chosen again are getting slimmer and you still have ample time to be chosen again. It is very sorry to inform that you are not listed this time and this would not discourage you to apply for the coming ASCs."

I stuck all of a sudden.I knew that I had failed in applying to ASC 2009.It was really a sad time.However,It was a great experience too.I had learnt about how to perpared a resume and streagthen a lot my english during the perparation.Otherwise,thanks a lot to my physics teacher,Lim Tian Loong,and his wife,Madam Dai who is my English teacher as well.They were really giving a lot of support to my application.Ok,my aim is turn to MICSS again,wish will have all the best time at there and got the chance to Taiwan for WCS Science Camp.
