My Uni's Life

Assalammulaikum Alam@#$%katulahi dan selamat petang! Well, this is how the lecturer greet us everyday as majority of them are Malay here in UM. As I have no class on tomorrow morning, which considered the most relax day I have in the days of study, I can sleep late to do my fbing and blogging. UM- "Universiti yang terulung, terunggul, terkenal, terhebat, terkemuka dll di Malaysia" This is another trendmark or slogan for them to welcome the freshysss in UM...

So, I went to KL last saturday morning and I arrived at LCCT at about 11.00am. After having my luggage with me, I took the bus to KL Central and my brother's friend came to take me aride. UM has 2 main gates which are KL & PJ gate. I was first brought to the KL main gate which could not be seen from outside of the campus because the road was narrow and yet no clear guideline provided in that area. The gate was old and urgly and as I went further into the campus, it was like a small old town with all the building being disorderly built. Thus, I could not recognise the position and the direction of the road except for the main building like library and the Law & Medic faculty as they were the most beautiful and biggest faculties in the university. The Law's architecture is like the British building style with colourful and attractive appearance whereas the Medic faculty has several main building and one big hospital with more than 20 levels outside the campus area. Anyway, I continued to seek for my College/hostle where the place I live and finally I found it is situated slightly on the hill which required around 15-20 mins walk from my Science fac. Science fac is the 2nd biggest among the faculties and is divided into few departments like Geology. So my department is just opposite to the main building of Science fac.
My lecture looks like a Parkistanist because he's muslim of course and his moustache is super duper pretty long like water-fall.

My college is very special because it's called KK8 - Kolej Kinabalu 8 which have been donated by the Yayasan Sabah. So I'm proud to be a sabahan but I was disappointed to know that I'm only the sabahan in the college. Luckily many of our neighbourhood Sarawakian are here and I need to get to know these Semananjung people and also be able to mix with other races espeacially the Malays. The life here was similarity the life in PLkN, which I have to do everything myself. The orientation wasn't quite bad as there was no more such things so-called "ragging" here. During the orientation week, I used my hand to eat because they didn't provide us the spoon and fork. So I got them from my Perlis friend and take it out everytime I go to eat.

My room is not that bad compare to other college room but it's old and dirty. I'm living with one Malay senior and the another senior will be coming in for the next sem. So I'm told to take the double-tek bed because the single bed is being reserved for the seniors.

Here my college is well-equipped in term of facilities except no swimming pools.. There are more the numbers of Chinese freshy this year and the chinese club is called= "cc", sound like sissy, haha this makes me think of Nelssy...

So, everything is fine and in here there is no more embarrassing events happened as if everyone tend to be so serious and mature... Studying in UM isn't easy for person like me because no one get below CGPA 3.0 and even many of the matrix student who score 4.0 could not get into courses like medic and law. They move to engineering or mathematics instead. You can hardly find the weak student here and all of them including Malays are very active in both academic and co-curriculum activities performances...hahaha... Anyway, life is life- a never-ending learning proccess.. As for me, I'll let go of all attachments and try to enjoy life - Life is good!!!
