Throwback #4

Hello September! As always, my favourite month.

Recently, my FB newsfeed and Whatsapp status was full with pictures and stories about new students intake, registration, welcoming students and  tips during orientation week.

So, upon seeing this - I automatically had flashbacks of how my early days in Uni.

UKM was my first choice of university but Occupational Therapy OT (my course)  was not. It was my 6th option among the 8.

Obviously, you could guess how I felt deep inside back then when I got this course.
("Huh, kos apaini?" ... " nanti habis mo kerja apa?".." kenapa saya x dapat  farmasi"..." saya jauh suda dari ruma"..." ada ka kawan saya nanti?") 

And the list goes on..

Upon receiving the letter and 80% still in denial, me and my mom went to the nearest cybercafe and tried to search more info about this course in UKM site. Sadly, on that time the information given was so general and not helpful at all ; leaving me more stressful. But the funny thing was, it didn't come up to me,to try and Google or Yahoo it.  Buduh juga la bila ingat balik sekarang. Haha!

The registration day.

My parents sent me off. I was indeed grateful as they were willing to come eventhough it was a last minute one.

Registration process was all okay. I managed to get through it even though deep inside  I felt so bad, ugly. The hardest part was saying goodbye to my parents. Saya tenangis juga la skit walaupun suda berabis tahan. Sakit dada eh. Mau cuba la  ba kunun trip2 ok, tapi x juga. 

Orientation week

The first few days was not ok, it was hell,  buruk betul rasa dia. I cried almost every night to sleep which I bet my roommate heard it (hehe!), I was tired and I still haven't found any Sabahan friend. I mean, yang ada kawan mau becakap sabah gitu. X la rasa alone sangat.

Nearing the end of orientation, I found my Borneo friends. I felt much better although I'm still tired from all the berlari berdua-dua going to the bus, duduk bertiga dalam bas, talks and talks, finishing late at night but waking up early.

Well, I could say that my orientation week was not something that I would happily remember although some of it, was enjoyable and I did have fun. But, yeah. Not all.

I do have a lot more to share but I'll stop for now. Hehe.

I don't regret getting into UKM, in fact, I'm proud to be one of the graduates.

So, for the new intakes - all the best!
