Recent updates (Malaysia-Singapore)

I’m on my way, leaving for Singapore, a place that I would be for at least 7 years. Well, I could feel that there’s a mixture of feelings in me. I feel excited to start a brand new life in NUS but at the same time, I feel sad as I’m leaving the place where I have been living in for so long. Well, after all, I wish my decision of leaving is not wrong. It’s the beginning of another stage in life. I’m leaving with a thought in my mind that I must succeed in life by the time I return! I’m motivated all of a sudden.. haha.. ;)

Anyone could guess if I cried when I left home?

As usual, the answer is yes. But this time, I think I am able to manage my emotions better than I was. Maybe it’s an indication that I have grown up?? Hmm.. lol.. crying is just a way to get relief from sadness or unhappiness. Okay, I’m going to stop for a while as I want to take a nap before I reach.

I was blogging in the bus when I was on my way to SG. On my way, I received a call from Raymond. He told me that it’s a weird day as two LKY(s) were leaving Malaysia. Haha.. ya, that’s true.. But don’t worry, both LKY will be back someday.

Well, I have to say that I really scared and phobia of entering Singapore Immigration Hall. It’s the third time I entered and three times out of three times I have to be stopped by someone. Haiz.. why is it so? I have no idea. It seems like I won’t return to Malaysia in short term as I’m really phobia of that immigration hall. Haha..

I have reached safely, finally. I was very excited to see where my room is. A helpful senior (forgot to ask his name) helped me to carry all my luggages to my room. I’m currently staying at Prince George’s Park Residence Block 1 Level 6 room L. Again, how fortunate I am to get the last room at the corner. It’s very near to washroom and kitchen. How nice! ;) After shifting all the luggages into the room, I went to have a look at where we can do laundry and other facilities here. Well, I have to clarify that the room is not as small as what I expected. It’s just nice for a person to stay. Open up the windows, there’re lots of trees in front of me that makes the room so much cooling. I cleaned the room as it was quite dirty. After settled down everything, I was extremely tired and fell asleep right after I bath. The mattress is a little hard and that probably caused me to have neck pain. And, one thing about this cluster is, I never saw anyone walking out of their rooms the entire night. It’s quiet and at the same time it causes me to feel lonely. The people here are not like the people I met in TARC hostel. We used to open the door and welcome our gang to join us in various activities (of course they are all legal activities ;) ) But people here always close their doors and seldom socialize with each other. Perhaps it’s just the beginning stage as everyone is still new here. And maybe I won’t feel that anymore when class has started and I’d be busy all the time.

(Sorry.. the shooting is not nice as i was using the webcam to capture the pics..)

The next morning, I went to Faculty of Science to attend their talks. After all, I felt that the bidding system is quite complicated and most of us were confused. I think I really need to spend more time to understand it in order to ensure that I can bid for necessary modules efficiently and be able to graduate in time. Well, when we were in the lecture theater, Prof Tan introduced us to a person from NUS high school who is only 16 years old and he has completed 12 modules in NUS. OMG! Just 3 words I can describe about him-- He’s a genius!!

I’m hoping for a better tomorrow. I must strive hard and must graduate in 4 years time. ;)

New direction in life >>

From the moment we got our UPU results, I knew that our new journey has started as everyone is heading to different directions. There we go to another new stage in life. Well, getting biology @ UPM. It was not really what I was hoping for even though it was in my list of choices. After considering for few days, I have made a decision that i would have to leave the offer and go for NUS! Singapore, a place which i will be for at least seven years. I really hope that this decision i have made is not wrong and praying hard for the best!
My sister who is doing her diploma in nursing at UM has told us how torturing it was during the one week orientation. All of a sudden, i felt that the decision of giving away the local uni offer is right. But if we view it from another point of view, the so-called 'torturing orientation' may be an 'early preparation' for the freshmen as they have to be well prepared to face all sorts of challenges including failure, difficulties, etc in their uni life. Somehow it's a good process for them to really grow up.
Uni life is going to start real soon. It's an excitement but at the same time there are worries. The next destiation would be a totally new environment for me. Everything is a new beginning. All I hope is everything goes well and being able to graduate! haha.. kind of pessimistic..
Just wanna wish everyone best of luck and enjoy uni life!
