Travel and university registration

I had never left Borneo island my whole life before. Just thinking about it making me miss my homeland. However, in order to further my study, I also had to move further.

Just three days ago I was in West Malaysia. My eyes had just opened wide. It was like I was in a far devoloped country and everyone seemed to act like elitist. But that was in Kuala Lumpur. My parents and I went to several interesting places there, with the help of my cousin. We went to the National Monument, KL Tower, Sunway Velocity (we stayed at the hotel there), Midvalley, Berjaya Times Square, Genting Highlands (in Pahang). With very limited time of 2 days, it was not really enough to explore many interesting places and discover variety of food. Some things also turned out to be very surprising. Nevertheless, it was National Day's mood for the people there.

After that I went to Tanjung Malim, Perak to stay overnight to wait for my registration for my first semester degree at UPSI.

Further study in a university

On the 31st of July I was offered a degree in UPSI (Sultan Idris Education University). Although the university is mainly focused on education degree, I got the degree for non education, which is degree in Digital Game Design. It was not easy to get such a course because I had to take a written exam and had to went through an interview with the lecturers themselves, just to be able to get this. This would be an opportunity for me to ever first time leave Borneo island and pursue degree in Peninsular Malaysia. UPSI is located in Tanjung Malim, Perak. I suddenly felt excited and sad at the same time. Excited to about to further study but sad about being far away from my family. I had a lot of things to prepare. Like my medical check-up record, important documents, necessities, apply for a student loan and registration fee of roughly RM2,508 including the fees of staying at the dorm. I also started to miss my family already eventhough the registration is on the 1st of September. I will update about this thing soon enough. Last but not least, I just want to thank the Lord for have given me the chance to continue my study. Without Him, I would be nothing.
