University of Malaya

Finally I have stepped into UM...Finally I'm a university student...Seorang mahasiswi UM...I really thank God for giving me this chance to further my studies at a higher level..I always waited for this moment to come and it has arrived. This is the time where I hope that I'm able to broaden my perspectives on life, people, education and other important stuffs...At least I hope I'm able to accomplish that..after all what is the point of going to university just for the sake of graduating and not getting much out of it?I still am not very sure about my future ahead, but I believe that God will continue to reveal His plans for me during this time of searching and learning.

I have enjoyed myself during the first week of orientation...surprise,surprise...I guess not everyone would agree that orientation in UM would be fun. But I truly enjoyed the cheers that our college did almost every night in DTC.....Bestari!Bestari!Bestari!....I think it did raise our 'semangat' a bit...We had to defend our college, 4th college from the other colleges and our main enemy was 7th college...Am still clueless of why we dislike 7th college so much...I miss the trips to DTC almost every night although we had to run most of the time because our PMs would tell us to hurry up.I wonder why they're always in a hurry.Well I did not expect life in uni to be like this. I never knew there was such a thing as' cheers' which we had to do during our 1st week. I never knew there was such a thing as 'pembantu Mahasiswa'. I think the PMs really helped us freshies although they were mean at times. But to look at the positive side they were of great help to us. They stayed up late every night so that we could settle out documents properly and not make any mistakes. Well 3 months of training really paid off. The PMs did a great job.

I've gained a lot during the first two weeks in uni. I've gained new friends. I've gained new knowledge. I've gained confindence(so I think). I've gained new room mates. I've gained a new room and most important I've gained a new beginning where I can start afresh. I really hope to use this chance in uni to develop skills that I have never developed before, to expand and grow to be a better person. I guess I was too afraid to come out of my shell before this, but with the help of God I think I'll be able to do this...now...

Oh well..I think I've decided to go public with this blog...Got to delete some very personal posts so that I do not create any sort of controversies :-)..Through this blog I hope to 'revive' my writing skills that have gone into the drain a long time ago..and to give my views on things and not to just keep them in my head...
