new chapter of life

Finally, I'm officially registered as an undergraduate student in Universiti Sains Malaysia under School of Management majoring in Management.

Talking about my Universiti, after all the comparison, I believe I have nothing more to complain about my hostel as it seems like I have the best of all. Clean, big, well-maintained, nice scenery from my hostel. I love the place though it is far from our main campus. It takes more than 30 minutes to reach my school. To be frank, I never walk to my school, I drive without sticker everyday, so I predict the time is 40 minutes. However, we do have commuter inside school. So, it makes everything nice and convenient.

About my roommate, I'm thankful I have a very great roommate all the way from Taiping, Perak. 
She's Tan Sue Ling. We get along very well in few days time and we can already communicate through face expression. She somehow can read my mind at times. That is all I hoped for, to be understand. We live together as roommate happily and I hope things will goes well until the end.

Back to my course mate, seriously, I started to feel the peer pressure. For my management course, from what I heard, there are many who scored very high pointer and they started studying already. Always very efficient completing the assignments given. It is just the first week, we already have 5 assignments to be completed. Seriously? Not relaxing ah. 80% out of 300 people are mainly Chinese, I rather we have more other races and it won't be that competitive.

For my lecture and lecturers, what I can conclude is, university life is all about self studying, manage your own time promptly, be alert on what is happening, plan your course units. Lecturers teach according to the slides, you need not to take down the notes, because all the power point slides will be posted into E-learning. As far for now, I haven't met any lousy lecturers. Hehe.

I took Japanese for this first semester and I enjoyed the class. I supposed to take the English class but due to  the 'excellence result' I obtained in MUET, the level of English class offered by my University which I supposed to take for my band I got in MUET, gave the priority to seniors in second and third year. So, to fulfill the credits, I chose Japanese and I'm loving it.

Cafeteria and food, good thing I have car, I choose to go out of campus to have my lunch and dinner almost everyday. Had supper for few nights and enjoyed the moment coming back hostel late where the gate closed and we have this 'kad siswa' to carry out the 'touch n go' action. Basically, what we have here mostly is Malay food, and a few Chinese stalls. Haven't finished exploring other hostel's food. Not forgetting to mention, there are a lot of cats around which is quite annoying to us. =.=  What can we do, there are many cat lovers who provide free food to them. When there are endless food supply, cat will always be around us. It make sense.

Another thing to mention, I've successfully been selected as the first year representative for our management society. I'm one of the 27 and been chosen out of 100. Wondering what are the things I could learn with the team, and all the activities that awaiting us to be planned and accomplished.


Indeed, beginning is always the hardest. I have to be well prepared for all the circumstances in the future.
Never give up and to do more self improvement in order to be a better person for my own good.
I decided not to compare myself with others but to the person who I was yesterday.
Give me some courage, okay?  =)

I guess I've written more than enough. =D Good night people!
