Can USM still retain the APEX status after the big blunder?

On Saturday,30th May 2009,many are pleased with the outcome from USM.Thousands of people jumped with joy at home,knowing they have been accepted into USM-a university with APEX status.So am I.
On that day itself,i hastened myself to check the USM website,bulldozing all the hurdles in front of me.To my amaze,i managed to get hold of a place in Chemical Eng. course.However,one of the requirements is to be present in USM on the following day.It might be a move to see how much we wanted to join this university,but then what about those staying far from Penang?What about those from Johor?Or those from Sarawak?
Next,a sudden change in the course given-from chemical eng.to pembuatan dan pengurusan-which i didnt apply from what i remember.
The heart breaking moments are on Sunday,the following day.After thousands of students thrive to register inside the university,little to know that more than 4000 names were mistakenly uploaded.Cries can be seen everywhere.Tanthrums were released but what can we do?People does mistakes.
THE ONLY QUESTION NOW IS WILL USM STILL RETAIN THE APEX STATUS AFTER WHAT HAPPENED ?WILL IT BE REVOKED OR WILL THEY BE GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE?

LIFE IS A NEVERENDING PROCESS!!!

How many would agree with me?Our whole life is burdened by an unstoppable process,which all of us call 'learning'.Can we stop and say"I don't want to learn anymore"?
NO!Whether we like it or not,in this era where knowledge triumphs,in this era where millions of graduates race against each other to hopefully land on a wonderful job,we must force ourselves to learn.
There are so much to learn that no one can ever finish learning throughout his entire life.Computer programming,Engineering,Psychology-those are a fraction of the whole process.
However,i have read an article before which is quite interesting and i'm just gonna write it down.
THE MORE WE STUDY,THE MORE WE KNOW.
THE MORE WE KNOW,THE MORE WE NEED TO REMEMBER.
THE MORE WE NEED TO REMEMBER,THE MORE WE FORGET.
SO THE MORE WE STUDY,THE MORE WE FORGET.
WHY STUDY?
HAHA!!just joking...never stop studying....sometimes we need to force ourselves before we can really study.
