From then to now.

Looking at the junior right now, make
me smile and old memories start flashing back in my mind. Looking at them
remind me of the first time I entered UPSI. Well, everyone has their own story
so do I..
Before this…
I’m a graduated from my old school in
SM Chung Hwa, Tenom which I’ve attended since form 1 till form 5. Yes, it is a Chinese
school, but trust me there’s more Bumiputera than Chinese students. No, I don’t
understand Mandarin at all but I do know vulgar word that can kill you. Hahaha
It’s not that I don’t learn any
Mandarin. I do learn it, but only a few. Then I got tired and bored because my
so called teacher (my friends) will talk to me in Bahasa Malaysia or Manglish. Not
only that, they also forgot some of the word in Mandarin and they forgot how to
read it. Not my fault tho.
So,
My family agreed (More to I force them
to let me) that I should continue studying in Form 6 until a better opportunities
come and let me fly away to Tomorrowland.
I was so excited and sad at the same
time. Well, because a lot of my friends chose to work and not continue their
study. So, that's how it begins that I became a free of charge lecturer and a motivator.
I start to lecture them and maybe well.. Erm.. Force them to continue to study
with me ( I don’t want to be alone okay?! ) That’s where I start to text them,
my friends and my friends friends which is technically my friends also and
continuing terrorizing their life. (Lol. Getting crazy while typing this)
After I went all the hardship of being
free of charge lecturer and a motivator I succeeded in forcing them to study
with me to a new place until we all got a better opportunity. Yeah, Self Five!
After 1 week studying in SMK Tenom, I
got an opportunity to continue my study and
get out from Form 6 which is going to College Poly-Tech Mara to continue my
study in Diploma in Teaching of English As a Second Language (TESL) and Diploma
In English in UPSI which is in Tanjung Malim, Perak. Or….. Maybe stay in Form
6.. Erm.. Interesting.
After debating with myself to I agree
and nominate myself to go to UPSI. hahahaha
Erm.. What do I feel when I got
accepted to study in UPSI aka Sultan Idris Education University or in Malay
Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris? Well, of course, everyone will be thrilled
to receive the news, except weirdo. It felt like I’ve fallen in love… not. Haha.
It’s like butterflies playing drums in
my stomach, jumping in joy.. I mean flying in joy, having a party without my
approval and constructing more butterflies (Explicit content).
(This picture perfectly
describe my thrilled and excitement at that time)
I’ve been through lots of agony and
skirmishes with my friends and family when I made a decision to further my
study in UPSI but I’ve made up my mind and it’s final. Yet, it’s still sad to
leave my family and friends and go on to an adventure in a place where I’ve
never been to or heard before (I’m not lying). My friend was devastated by my
decision. Well, after being forced to study in a new place, then being left not
alone by me who’ll not be mad at me? But, they understand and let me live my life
as the way I want.
First time? My first time entering
UPSI eh, after the orientation and so on?
At first, I was stunned. Like a big
huge enormous brick wall being thrown at me. It was cultural shock for me at first,
but I manage to blend in. Ahamdulillah. Hahaha. Everyone started talking in
English with me. But I kept on smiling until my jaw hurt so much, I nod and I
only give feedback if I can answer the million dollar question. Well, I’ve
become a shy introvert nincompoop when I entered UPSI. Before this, I’m a
talker, I have a big mouth and I talk a lot and what I means by a lot is really
a lot but in Malay or Manglish la. I can talk 100mph per hour. LOL (Yes, I’m
lying) but I slowly adapt myself with English from the first day of class until
now. Now, I can talk perfect broken grammar with everyone =.=
It’s been 1 year 10 days since I entered
UPSI in 2014. I have one year left to stay here until 2016, then I will be side
by side graduating with my colleagues with a smile that can’t be wiped from our
faces and in our hand we will be holding our Diploma certificate with pride and
determination to be more successful.
I already prepared my graduation speech.
Wanna know? Here goes nothing.
I would like to thanks papa Google for
generously providing me legal informations. A huge thanks also to UPSI Jaring,
MyGuru, Youtube, Wikipedia, Slide Share, Google Scholar and to whoever invented
copy and paste. Not to forget, thanks Ginger Software for being genuinely
patient correcting my Grammar. Thank you also my dear beloved arm for always be
there by my side, my short leg for always supporting me and not to forget my
fat fingers because I can always count on them. Thank You!
Can’t wait. Yihaa! Until then I’ll be
ready to face the music and handle my life as I wish and with Gods will.
Because…
“ When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes “
I’ll be stronger than ever. If I fall,
I will stand and face the music. I will hug and embrace my flaws and fear to be
a better, successful, knowledgeable than ever which I’ve determined and set to
be. If Allah will, Insyaallah I will try my best to achieve what I want.
This is my story.. How about you?
