The night before, Hakim asked his dad whether he could continue his studies overseas. His father said yes. So the next day, which is Tuesday, Hakim meet up with his other half, Nadia, to accompany him to the agent, who'll take care of the application. On his mind, he only knew RMIT, Royal Melbourne Institue of Technology. As its what his sister has recommended to him before he started his polytechnic studies. It was an eye opening experience from the explanation given by the agent, Ms Ginny at EduLink. She go thru the different type of programs provided by different Universities that suits Hakim's qualification and needs. These are the universities:

1. RMIT, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (www.rmit.edu.au)
2. University of Exeter @ United Kingdom (www.exter.ac.uk)

After going thru the explanation given, it turn out that studying in UK is cheaper than in Australia. Thou, the tuition fees in UK are expensive than Aus, the accomodation and personal expenses is cheaper than Aus, according to Ms Ginny. After gathering all the informations, both Hakim and Nadia take their leave, and proceed to the nearest surau to do their asar prayers. After finishing their prayers, Nadia bum into Masyithah, who had just finished her work. Hakim and Nadia, then decided to have our dinner with Masyithah and Asyura at Breeks, Ngee Ann City. After having a hearty meal, they then parted with Masyithah and Asyura, and proceed to Mustafa Centre, since Nadia need to buy a perfume for herself and for her sister's birthday. After the getting the stuff, they then make their way back.
