..i finished my poly...and entered army.. was accepted entry into NUS and can do Honors anyway since i was top 10% student in Sch of Business from TP.. however being a 9 - 3pm personnel (i was a ops spec), i decided not to waste my time instead and did my honors degree( external program) during NS and not going NUS and spending 4 years, too long imho.. i completed my honors at 21years old. When i finished my ns, did my last semester in UK. Upon graduation, went Australia (NSW) to do my Master degree.

..finished my Master degree at 22 years old plus. Started lecturing right after grad and at 24 years old (acutally just before..) i was promoted to Senior Lecturer due to outstanding performance and credibility as a Lecturer and trainer for soft skills. (got cash incentives and increment)

At 25, i left the school and now im a Brand Manager with another company

Bro, its simply unbelieveable. Which external programme did you pursue? Normally UK external degree programmes are not similiar to internal programmes. Unlike australian universities, UK universities do not allow you to do one semester in UK. If you are external, u will do external all the way. This is especially so a few years ago. I personally spent a few years in Uk pursuing my degree and post graduate degrees. So what you said doesn't make sense.

Next thing, u only got 1 power and u want to exchange for my 3 power. Too good a bargain right? If you want, u can take your 1 point back.

Dear Sammybleu, i do not know why u suddenly pop by my thread and start posting something that doesn't make sense to me and ask me to up you. I don't zap anyone for speaking too much, but what they speak must make sense. Even if what you said doesn't make sense, i will not zap you. But for giving points, i only give to bros whom speak with honesty and earned my respect.

Seriously speaking, your degrees are your degrees. It doesn't matter to me. I only like to point out things that doesn't make sense. If you said what you said to a non-education industry person, u can convince him easily. But too bad, i am `old bird' in education industry, especially UK universities. Having being educated in Uk for many years and another almost a decade dealing with UK, australian and singapore private education in the region, i am quite experienced to point out anything in my field. My apologies for making you feel uncomfy in my thread. Cheers

For bros travelling to VN with their spouse:

Airlines to compensate for cancelled flights, right at airport 16:13' 09/03/2007 (GMT+7)
VietNamNet Bridge – Air carriers will have to compensate passengers immediately for cancelled and delayed flights, the highest compensation level is $150, according to the Decision No 10 by the Ministry of Transport, which will be effective as of March 14.

The decision and its provisions will be applied for regular domestic and international flights provided by domestic and foreign airlines, departing from Vietnam.

If the flights are cancelled due to the faults of the air carriers, the passengers book seats already but are not served, the carriers will have compensate the passengers. The compensation level is VND100,000 for domestic flights which have the distance of less than 500 km. Meanwhile, the compensation level will be VND200,000 for the flights with the distance of 500 – 1,000 km, and VND300,000 for the more than 1,000 km flights.

As for the international flights, the airlines will have to compensate $25 for less than 1,000 km flights, $50 for 1,000 – 2,500 km flights, $80 (2,500 – 5,000 km), and $150 (more than 5,000 km).

The above stated levels are the minimum levels the air carriers have to compensate passengers. The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) will be responsible for declaring the distances of domestic and international flights to depart from Vietnam.

Passengers can receive the compensation right at the airports, where they are refused to be served, or at the representative offices of the airlines. The sums of money can also be transferred to the passengers’ accounts within 14 days since the day of flight cancellation.

The newly promulgated decision stipulated that the airlines have the right to refuse serving drunk and perturbative passengers, and in this case, they do not have to compensate these clients.

In addition, they will be exempted from making compensation when the flights are cancelled due to the reasons without reach of the airlines, like the bad weather or security problems
