4 Years - Part 2

One of the greatest moment being stay in 8th college was I able to join in the community especially the Chinese Community (CC). I am very active in almost every single activity of CC, from convocation, SJ night,Mooncake Festival, Winter Festival, Reunion Dinner, and Ang Pau Festival. I am taking part all of the activity and become the committee member for most of it. One the most successful event would be Ang Pau Festival, it was never been done in UM since many year ago and we the 8th college CC is the first one who did it. From nothing and preparation of less than a month, we successfully organise a well done cultural performance night. It was so great and friendship had also develop through this project.

I was also becoming the PM for my second year, I think I am one of the most special PM because i didn't join most of the training and meeting. But the whole process is fun, I get to make friends with the people from all races. I enjoy especially during the orientation week but the worst part is only 30 chinese junior while there is 15 chinese PM, what a sad time.

During the semester break of my first year, I was attached to my scholarship sponsor company for one month internship. From there I got another 30 new friends (of course my girl friend is one of them). They are all brilliant people but yet playful enough. We had different kind of activity throughout the one month. Although the time is short but the relationship we had build is strong enough. We are still very very good friend till today. From time to time we still meeting up each other for updates, gathering. This group of friends is really awesome.

That is it my first year. New environment and with tons of new and exciting time.

My second year begin with busy and yet exciting. After becoming PM, a lot of work to be done, I choose to become the floor representative rather to hold a project. Almost every single college activities you need to attend because u need to be good role model according to the management. Some more I was chosen to become the Chinese Community treasurer, and also join the Pesta Tanglung on that year. But every moment is precious and I love them a lot.

The first time in my life, i got to know how an election is run, although it's just an University level election, it was a lot of work need to be done. I think it is comparable to general election, it is just a smaller scale. And i would say if you do not like politics don't ever step a leg inside there, it would make you scary.

The CC activity goes on even we only left with 20+ juniors so the MT burden is much heavier now.. But I really enjoy the relationship build among the 6 MTs. We always got quarrel, but we can eventually come to an agreement and solve everything at last.

Second year was a great year, the first time I know who exactly is my coursemate and the first time we had our gathering on the first semester. It was great and our bonding had start from that day though it's still very loose.

Besides that, at the end of the first semester, it was one of my most happiest time in my life because I finally fall in love and she is my first and most probably the last (unless she don't want me) soul partner in my life. Everything goes on well till today. A lot of challenges we had face together and I would say that the relationship can maintain very well.

Well that pretty much about my second year, CC activities, part time job, girl friend is the main matter during 2nd year.

4 Years - Part 1

Without getting notice, my 4 years life as an undergraduate student had come to the end. Although there is not much achievement throughout the 4 year but the life is really exciting.. I do learn a lot of new stuff, create a lot of new friendship from college mate, course mate, activity mate, scholarship siblings, part time friends, etc etc..

Still remember the first day I come from my hometown to UM, my parents fetch me all the way from Ipoh to here around 4am as we really have no idea how to get here.. Luckily, one of my father friend was so kind that bring us from Kota Damansara tol to UM. We so noob that day, he ask us go into the Damansara tol and we donno how to differentiate Damansara and Kota Damansara tol.. Haha.. We had cause this use about an hour to look for us.. But really feel thanks to him and my parents.

When I got into there, my parents were helping me cleaning up my room and first time in my life leave home to become an independent person and first time I got roommate and he is a Malay.. But not bad la, he is a PM and quite nice lo.. I enjoy the orientation week maybe I like all the cheers and I had become one of the associate cheer leader.. So i was really having fun although it's tiring.

After the orientation week, studies finally begin and remember the day that I have to walk all the way from 8th college to Science Fac.. It was really a long journey but quite fun also cause walking along with a lot of friend. But, very soon the walking life come to the end cause one of best form Ipoh, Shum had bring his car to the campus and so lucky we are from the same hostel and we had register almost the same course for the 1st year.. So he had become my driver for 1 year plus, thanks Shum.

Very soon, i was selected by few PM to join their project with offering me some good position, i feel quite happy for that as I wish to join some activity as well but actually It was as fun as I think because the process is totally different form what I experience during secondary school because you are not just dealing with the same races but it really make me know better on how to deal with different people.

Many very first project in UM was the convocation for seniors which organise by Chinese Community, I was elected to be the head of the activity, thanks Shenyang for promoting me that time... Really had a great one, feel very touch when I see all the senior were happy with our preparation. Really hope will have the chance to be the senior where juniors come to celebrate our convocation. I join almost every CC activity because I really love the environment being part of them and finally I become the treasurer for CC during my 2nd year.

First time I work part time in KL is during my 1st semester break. It was a job recommended by my ex-boss from Ipoh. The job itself is nothing much but the 1 month life here really teach me a lot. It let me know how great if you stay at home under the shield of your parents. The first time in my life have to worry how can I get to my working place, how to get my meal, everything is need to be arrange by myself. I stay in Puchong for that 1 month with my boss's brother but every morning I had wake up very early so I that I can catch out the bus, scare it will rain. After finish work, have walk a long distance to go back, weekend had to walk out very far to get my meal. It was really challenging, but it really make me tough and make me grow.

My first time to get my passport and my first time go oversea to Shanghai. Really feel glad that I had such a wonderful trip with all the college mate.
