The first time i step into the college in HKL, i felt so sick and regret because the place is so small and dark.... the hallway of the college is as long as the hallway between my house's living room and kitchen.......with not enought lightings... probably they forgot to but the lamp....
Anyway, i with my big red Crocodile luggage, i strolled along the hallway, and met all my seniors who just can't wait to "orientate" us..... look at those eager stares with polite gestures, that said " Welcome.... welcome..... Loook at those innocent and restless face.... be prepared for the first nite of 'Orientation'"
My first impression, "Shiau Lee, jus do it for the allowance, who will give u money and classes as the same time, you just got to move on with it"
So, they briefed us, and introduced the "Orientation Community Members" aka " Big Ragging Bastards".... and then, we moved to our new hostel, a hell named "Cybertel Bangi" Me and my big red bag moved into the room, and within 5 seconds, i cried and called me mom........ I told my mom " Ma..... this room dun have rubbish bin".... My tears streaming down my cheeks, while my mom was reassuring me through the phone.... i was looking at my new room mate's big luggage and also check out the room....
The room has two beds with two tables and chairs, a cupboard and we have a toilet to share.... My new room mate named Ms. LSM.... She is a girl from Sibu, Sarawak....Kinda innocent and straight-forward girl....
Well, as i predicted, my fellow seniors just can't wait to get their hands on us.... we were "orientated" on the first night itself.... it started with a "ice breaking session", include self-introduction adn patriotic song..... Eeekkkk..... annoying......well, is orientation... suppose the "ragging" is a must, i guess....
Well, life has been really tiring in sem 1 because of the new adaptation to the new environment, extra papers to take.... and ridiculous hours of classes....
I remembered, when we stayed in Cybertel, we had to wake up 4.30 am prepared to go to college, bus left the hostel at 5.30 am.... and the class started at 8.00 am, ended at 4.30pm in GHKL, then, had to go to Anatomy and Physiology class at 6.00pm till 8.00pm.... went back to hostel at 9.30 pm.... bathed, studied a little, then, only can sleep at 12.30am.... wah.... like hell.... dunno why??? The situation cycled for past 3 months, till we moved into our new hostel in Sg. Buloh..... Things got worst, Sg, Buloh is so secluded, besides, flowers.... and flowers..... and flowers.... there is nothing there.... everything is so messy, we attended classes with blurred mind.... Without noticed, time passed so fast.... i finished semester one....... and going into semester 2........ Anticipating for more adventures.....
This journey is incredibly humbling for me.
From being wounded and not knowing which way is up and wondering whether or not i could be ALIVE or not and at the same time, finding new MEANING in my new life in this FOREIGN place.....It's been an AMAZING journey
I am a daughter, sister, dog-owner and friend.
Currently, i am learning to train my mind and body. I want to hold my body, challenge my physical ability to a level i could never imagine.
I definitely have learn to stop letting these people who do so little for me in my life but control so much of my mind, feeling and emotions.
Learning to let them go from my life is definitely one of the best achievement i ever done to myself.
Goodbye my friends.... Hope when we meet again, we are once strangers again.
