Assalamualaikum!

Alhamdulillah, I got to pursue my study in Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang in Bachelor of Human Resource Development. It was my fourth choice actually. 

My first choice for UPU was UPM-TeSL, second was UTM-TeSL and the third one was UKM-English Literature. At first I got to sit for MedSI exam in UiTM Samarahan, Kuching. It was a chaos when I first found out about it. The result about sitting the exam came out on Friday, I have to sit for the exam on Monday. It was during Ramadhan and the festive season of Hari Gawai. I had to go to Kuching, Sarawak from Pontian, Johor. That time, all of the flight tickets from Johor to Kuching were sold out, thanks to Hari Gawai I guess? 😂

So on Sunday, we had to go to TBS from Pontian by bus, and then my uncle fetched me and my mom from TBS to KLIA 2 and we took the flight from KLIA 2 to Kuching. It was so boring at KLIA 2 because there weren't much things to do as it was fasting month and we can't eat at the restaurants there, and we don't even have much energy to walk around to window-shopping 😂 In Kuching, we stayed at my mom's friend's apartment. On Monday morning, we went shopping with my mom's friend and then in the afternoon, they sent me to UiTM Samarahan. I took about 30 minutes to answer the questions. When I called my mom saying they can take me now because I have finished answering the exam, my mom and her friend were shocked and asked "kenapa kejap sangattt?" Hahahaha they told me to wait because they were at bazar Ramadhan, shopping for food for buka puasa. I had laksa Sarawak that evening and awww I'm so happy because I miss eating laksa Sarawak 😍 before going back to Johor that night, we went to a kiosk at the airport, Kek Lapis Sarawak Hamidah to buy some kek lapis. God, their kek lapis taste so delicious!! The price is cheap too!! Really worth my money 💕

Sadlyyy I failed the exam. I was so sad though, thinking of all the hardships we went through, the time wasted and the money spent to sit for the exam 😭😭 but I told myself everything happened for a reason, and what happened to us is what's best for us.

So I got to pursue my study in Bachelor of Science Human Resource Development, and guess what’s my faculty? It’s Faculty of Educational Study! Weird, right? Well I found it weird hahaha! I guess I don’t have the rezeki to pursue for bachelor in education but still have the rezeki to be in the faculty 😜

I got to stay in Kolej Kedua. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the college to my faculty. My block name is Blok Enggang. The names of the blocks and rooms here are related to birds. Eg. Blok Helang and Blok Raja Udang for the boys, and Blok Enggang, Blok Merpati and Blok Rajawali are for the girls. Blok Enggang is located the highest among other blocks, I almost die taking my stuffs to get to the blocks, and my room. There were so many staircases that we need to take from Blok Merpati to Blok Enggang, and another staircases from the ground level to level 2 where my room is located (227).

The room isn’t as pretty as how I thought it would be (because I’ve seen UITM’s room a lot before) lol maybe because it’s an old building, but it’s kind of spacious and I found it comfortable. There’s big table where I can use one part to iron my outfit, and another part to study. There are two spaces to put luggage on the upper part of the wardrobe. We have the place to hang our laundry right in front of our room too! Well, overall, it’s good!

I remember when I first got here, I tried doing things on my own, like register for room. I tried to act like I’m very independent because I don’t want my parent to feel worried about me huhu. At that time I told my parent to wait for me at Blok Merpati because in case I got to be in that block then there’s no need for them to climb up the stairs with my WHOLE LOTS STUFFS 😅😂

I also remember how I tried to hold my tears when my mom said they’re going back home, but when I said something to my mom, it can be heard in my voice? Like my voice became hoarse and cracked at times. And when my mom hugged me, I just can’t hold my tears anymore. I cried. That was the first time she hugged me (from what I remember, because the last time I remember she hugged me was when I was 10 or 11, sending her off at the airport to go to USM). What made me more sad at that time was my dad already waited for my mom at Dataran Merak, he can’t come to us because he’s started to get sick. At that time, I was so worried on how they’re going to go back with my dad having gout 😭😭

Back then I was so amazed by SUKSIS, SISPA and PALAPES. I wanted to join one but seeing how many things I brought to UPM, I had to just let it go, because there’s no way I can bring all the stuffs with me alone to move to another college.
