First week of lectures

Today is Friday!Finally coming to the end of the first week.

It was okay for the first week.Orientation was a little waste of time and pressuring cos the management kept on mentioning 'passing rate','success','work hard' and 'platinum status'..Though it is stressful to hear all those,in a way it is kind of good for someone like me who lost my motivation last semester.It made me feel determined to pass my exams and to work hard in order for this semester to be my last one.

Besides orientation is the lectures.They were all smooth-going.I managed to find out where all the lectures were held and can quite understand what the lecturers were saying.That is something good cos my last semester i was always lost and trying to find my way out of the puzzle.This is where i find Sunway to be better.They acknowledge the fact that there are new students and therefore,don't always refer to the notes they previously gave or use terms which new students won't know.But what's not nice is that the lecturers have already asked us to start revising after each lecture.I know that it is THE WAY,but i am always so tired after lectures.My brain feels like it has absorbed SO MUCH and i should just sleep to 'save' what i learned.

So,that's a little about how my study life is currently.

Dance...stopped for the moment cos it is TOO EXPENSIVE to learn it here.So shall just wait till i have the time when i am back in AS to continue.

Sleep...i have been sleeping so EARLY these days.Really not like the AS me where 12am is still early.Here,10pm is already late.But it's good,at least no more looking like a panda (even though i love them).

The big city

Ah!
I am finally in KL.Sis and me have been thinking about coming here to study for quite some time and now we are really staying here.We didn't imagine it to be as difficult as in Penang.

Even though previously i was in UKM for 6months,it was still SO TERRIBLY HARD for me to adjust to life here.After gotten used to study life in Penang and most of the time,staying at home,the sudden change and the need to be independent is terrifying.What more,i have to also 'look after' my sister.Luckily,i have friends here whom i can call and ask for help.I do hope that i will be able to adapt to this life quickly so that before i know it,it is already time to go home and i can re-decide where i want to be next.

As for my sis,it is her first time being so far away from home and having to be independent.Definitely,it is tough on her but i hope that she will be able to overcome it and try to look on the brighter side.There is nothing we can do about it until we are done with the 4months here.

My goal: Concentrate on class so that time will pass faster and then it is time to pack up and GO HOME! (I am 100% going to reconsider whether to work in KL.Maybe Penang is far enough for someone like me who loves my home so much)
