First 3 Months in UPSI

It has been a while I have not update my blog. I was just enjoying my life as a university student at the moment. A lot of things has changed, especially about myself. It is like I just turned to the other page of the book, may be like I just started a new book. I am no longer being the introvert.

It started when I joined the college committees. I was never being more scared than having to try out the interview of finding the executive committee members. I was persuaded by my own senior, the same senior who also helped me during my registration. I tried out for Academic Executive Committee, but it seemed like I could not get it. So I tried out for Culture and Arts Executive Committee. I was to respond carefully about how to deal with certain situations as they told me. I even had to sing. Finally, I got in.

About a week later, I finally had my first ever meeting with other executive committee members including our bosses (which were also the ones with important duties for the college). We got to introduce ourselves, knowing our roles as executive committee members and of our responsibilities. From that moment on, I tried to blend in and I felt really comfortable which eventually made me becoming more braver to speak in front of the crowd and never to conceal my imperfections (we humans make mistakes but be sure to reduce them as much as possible).

Furthermore, I became more closer to my religion. Since I went to the church here, in Tanjung Malim BEM, also known as R.G Ministry, I became in love with going to church every Sunday. The congregation 99% consists of youths, students from UPSI (also me). I even joined the missionary for students like me, which is S.M.Y which stands for Saya Murid Yesus (I am a student of Jesus). I learned a lot from that activity. I became more in love with reading the Bible and pray ever more often. I even able to make more friends and a virtual family formed among the church community, especially for my college home sale group. I became a better person than I was at the beginning of my life as a university student. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

I also would not forget about my studies, tasks, assignments and quizzes to focus on. Busy as I may could be, I would not put aside my main responsibility as a student of UPSI. Okay. This is it for now. I will update my blog whenever I have the time.

University life begins

Who knew that this day could come? First day of stepping into a university as to become its student. A reknown university in Malaysia, University Pendidikan Sultan Idris. A few thousands of kilometres from my hometown just to be here.

The biggest hall in the campus is just behind me, Dewan Tuanku Canselor (DTC).

We were to be registered in the great hall, getting a dorm room and took care the registration business all about.

After that, all of the freshies had to go through orientation to get to know more and better about the university and what we should or could do during our study there. I bid farewell to my parents whom had been with me the whole registration session. I really appreciate them. Furthermore, I had a little help from one of the seniors. If not for her, I would have very limited time to get ready a lot of things for my stay at the dorm. She really does care alot about the wellfare of the students from Sarawak.

Unfortunately, we had very little sleep. But so did the commitees who handled the orientation. Well, I will upload more about the orientation in the near future when I had the time. Hashtag, UPSI BEST!
