Hello, greeting to all my friends by maxi, I’m back here, my lovely hometown Sabah.. haha.. Since there are still many of you are wondering about my whereabouts, just kinda write this post to let you guys know about my situation for the time being..(I was coming back here last Monday’s evening)
So I had a great time with my buddies during my 1-month life in UM. I could hardly stress out how much I was going to enjoy playing and gathering with them day and night. My 8th college was considered lucky in the sense that we have had around 100 plus Chinese out of the total of 300 freshy staying in the college. Most of them were quite friendly and helpful. But there was a few you would find them just sitting and doing their stuff quietly and had been isolated to stay inside their rooms. Everything in KL was just the same as in KK except the interesting thunder which can make you deaf and heart-attack, air-pollution happened elsewhere, and traffic congestion happened even inside the campus. So we had to be-careful while crossing the road as most of the motorcyclist won’t stop for you!
About my Geology department, we had the most “lc” tutor and yet the only one prettiest Chinese girl among the tutors. Among the 1st-year juniors in the department, there was only 5 Chinese including me, 2 of which were taking pure Geology and the others were Applied Geology and I am the only Chinese “guy”. Geology covers the subjects like Intro to Earth, Rocks and Minerals, Geological Mapping and Graph study etc and it took me 18 credit hours. The part that I like best was during practical time where we were allowed to examine all different samples of rocks and minerals. It took us about 2 hours for that and I was dreaming and did nothing during that time... so relax nia ^^ Good time flew quickly when I realized I had to sit for a test of all this minerals. Nevertheless, I still don’t know my result because I was coming back here..
I had been hanging out with friends for movie or window shopping when I was there during weekend. I was free from Friday to Sunday and we would rather go to Mid-valley as it’s the closest shopping mall to UM. But it’s quite boring there because all things were so expensive. For other part of Kl, we just need to take a bus around 2 mins drive from the campus to the LRT station. So it’s very convenient (not meant to cars) and thus I can go so many places I want to.. I also met the orang putih from USA who wanted to get to know our culture and to connect with the local students and the true story behind this was that they were here to complete their mission by finding someone to be their mentor as being told in bible. So I joined them and went to some famous places like “French town and Selesa hills”. I also went to Penang with my friend during weekend and I got to eat all the best food in Penang, pretty nice food and nice place ^^ (but quite disappointed to the Penang bridge laRh..)
Apart from the activities in UM, i also joined CLC, an off-campus unregistered body which has been purposely established for Christian students in UM. So I go to Methodist church at Damansara every Sunday and sometimes we went to 1Utama for our lunch. I also went to pasar malam in SS2, just few km away from campus.
So nearly a month later, my Russia’s agent has confirmed me my seat for medicine course in Russia which will be commence on early of September and my scholarship has been approved, so I decided to travel back to Sabah to do some preparation for my further studies at Kursk, Russia and scheduled my departure from Sabah probably after Raya. So the entire medical degree course is 6-years and bonded by government for 10 years after graduation. The return flight fares is around Rm4000++, so I might be coming back once a year most probably my summer holiday from June to August. The place I will be going to is called Kursk, few hundred km north from Moscow, the capital city of Russia. So far the person I know is Alexander Alvin (5 Vega).. haha Nel ^^, 1 UM Sabahan friend & my Technics Music school friends, we are all going for the 1st years on this coming September...
So I quit UM starting from 9/8/10 and I didn’t receive any payments or bills yet from university J .. hehe
Well, so now I am pretty relax at home and can wake-up at 11 the next morning... haha By the way, Good luck and best wishes to all my friends whether in Uni or in college and take care ^^
