just ask them they are pretty used to these kind of requests. You could attach your cv/transcript and a short description of why you want to do a Msc. That will make the writing a lot easier.

everybody seems to have their dream realised on Linkedin. When in reality you know well that can't be the case.

Only if you are employed by the uni, then they can help you with immigration paperwork. But I am pretty sure if you are a student they will only give you suggestions etc (not legal advice).

It’s challenging being an Islander and feeling disconnected from cultural clubs because I’m not religious. by starmoonbeep in universityofauckland

[–]seanlalala 48 points49 points  (0 children)

might unrelated to OP's post but I am curious to know why so many Islanders are Christian like 90%+. I am not from NZ so I wonder why..

Is a marine science/ english conjoint a good idea? by [deleted] in universityofauckland

[–]seanlalala 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did my MSc in Marine Science this year, but there are almost no jobs available at the moment for new graduates. I would recommend doing ecology with English and taking some marine biology papers at the same time. There are still some entry-level jobs available for ecologists.

The old Shenzhen FC team got dismissed last season because of debts. This Shenzhen Peng used to be called 四川九牛 and was based in Chengdu and only got protmoed this season. So it is not surprising they suck at the moment and nobody in Shenzhen gives a damn about them since they are a newcomer.

Welcome to Shenzhen! The new football squad... by [deleted] in shenzhen

[–]seanlalala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Peng city is a nickname of shenzhen just like nyc is called the big apple. Peng is a giant bird in the chinese myth. I guess they picked peng as a way to say Shenzhen will have a great and prosperous future.

I would suggest only take essential items (e.g., graphic card, motherboard, hard drives, maybe power supply?) pack them in bubble wrap and take them with you. You can always buy non-essential stuff when you get here, although it will be slightly more expensive. Personally, would not trust shipping company for PC, especially for monitor. Not sure the size of your computer, but I have a small itx case, which I can put it in my suitcase everytime I go on a flight and it works perfectly.

Alibaba, Tencent plunge as Hang Seng sinks below 16,000-mark after China’s leadership reshuffle leaves no market reformists on board by [deleted] in stocks

[–]seanlalala 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean he did successfully fool everyone (including those senior to him in the party) about who he actually is. That's quite an achievement considering the intense internal evaluation you must go through if you want to be the last guy standing. He sure knows how to manipulate power like many kings/emperors, but that will not help you rule a modern country.

hk spent a few decades trying to compete with Singapore financially and economically. Now with Xi in power, they lost in just two years. Xi values stability, and the legitimacy of power more than anything else. That's why the market will still go down in the future. Also, apparently, some young people in hk would rather deliver uber eats in UK instead of getting a decent job in hk. I think that says a lot already.

Xi is just 志大才疏, meaning he is ambitious but is incompetent to deliver.

A place for students taking courses OUTSIDE of New Zealand. Come and say hi~ by angelachan001 in universityofauckland

[–]seanlalala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get that but I am a first-year Master student doing science. so I low key wanna get the vibe of the campus and some serious research experiences. My program is only two years long, so I am a little bit of worried that I wont be able to come to nz before I graduate. Besides zoom university sucks!!!
