Update time!!! haha
So, here I am in UiTM Puncak Alam campus... Here i'm taking the Foundation in Science course... Without me noticing it, it has been a full month since I first came here on 23rd May... A lot has happened... Some annoying, some wasteful but mostly fun and beneficial... The majority of students here are Malays which directly reflects the dominance of Islam... There are some Sarawakians and Sabahan which are Buddhist but are very few... Having this as a fact, you would expect someone to change... I came from a very different background from other Malays... In Ipoh, most of my friends are Chinese... Here, all my friends are Malays... Next, here even though the medium of teaching and learning is English you carry on your daily lives and communicate in Malay... Thats one thing that I don't like but have to accept... I've worked so hard to get my English to how it is today and I'm scared that spending my time here would be the cause of my English language to deteriorate... A solution to that??? Blog regularly and speak to myself in English... Crazy but I have to do it to preserve my English...
That aside, now the good part... First and foremost, the air here is clean and fresh... Little to less pollution due to the location of the campus which is around 5 km from the nearby town... Yeah, this is a relatively new area... Its definitely and most surely cooler here than in Ipoh... I can even walk under the sun to attend my class... Next, it rains a hell lot more than it does in Ipoh, which I like... haha... The wind blows more regularly too... So thats a small pinch of the climate here... Nice huh???? haha..
Friends here have been more than what I expected... Seriously, I expected less.... Truthfully there people often times blown my expectations to smithereens... We all are too accustomed of listening to the saying, " Do not judge a book by its cover " but the reality is, its harder than it sounds... The first day is synonym to first impression... The students here give me less than a good impression so I can't help but think lowly of them... True enough, some of them are hooligans but definitely not all of them... Thank God, all my friends are good folks with clear view on what they have to do to achieve their goals...
To sum it all up, my new life here is better than the one I had in my mind... Nevertheless, there are some difficulties along the way... Thats life.. Nothing is simple, nothing is easy... But with a clear mind and a determination of steel nothing is impossible and though its cliche' to say so, I truly believe in it... Lastly, we all should pray to God Almighty for His blessing and grace to ensure our peace in life...
