2 decades~ as she said.


"Here it is~~!!
> Again?!
Yup. Again.
>     .    .    .    .    .    "


Well, twenty, one and four,

You came like before,
without notice, in a flash.
It was a blur,

a blink and now we're here.
I wont bid fare-thee-well,
like before, it has fused unto.
But, thank you.

For all the moments of fun,
the happiness I doubt would be undone.

All the treasures and emotional connections,

kept close at heart, in mind and soul.
And shall never fall apart.


"twenty" are now us,
that of nine "four".
"one" year older,
we are.
In 201 and five.


Of all the things,
the life,

the breath,
the lessons and health,
the brink of death.
The friends meet, met and made.
Those bridges are built to last decades.


Happy and many a great blessings.
For the new leaf to fall,
the new year to start it all.


HAPPY 201 and FIVE!!!

#LevelUP!

             After a whole year of private study, attending Uni was something new. Private study sounds a bit --- we'll just say self-study, or studying-at-home-by-oneself. So, attending University was certainly a new great pleasant experience. It has its downs and its lows but the feeling is just wonderful. There's a sense of achievement in that, in continuing for further study, in managing to get into a University. A proud moment for me. ***For my dear parents too, hopefully.


             Sem 1. The semester in which you learnt to cope. To adapt and adopt to life as a Uni student. Once you get the basics, the foundation down, you're pretty much ready to proceed. But this semester punches you in the face. It just does. You'll get to know of the workload, the modules, the weird people and lecturers, as well as the somewhat packed environment. The good thing about this is once you get punched, in the face, you can recover, find your balance and prepare for any future punches that's sure to come your way. So, now you can dodge, block and counter !!!

Then.

             Sem 2. Since Sem 1, you are now able to stand on your own two feet. You are now able to fend for yourself, to survive, to progress. You have your guard up and are always prep'd and ready. So, you think you can take on Sem 2. After the first few days, all is well and okay. Then, in a blink of an eye, in a fraction of a second, something swept your feet from under you. And you fall, you fall hard. You lie on the floor, looking up, wondering; "Just what the bloody hell happened?!!". I mean, you did everything right. Well, right, just like the Sem prior. However, Sem 2 is unlike any other. It pushes you, until you fall, but as you fall you realise, or you would anyways, that nothing can prepare you. Nothing. All that you can do, is stand back up and walk, walk on your path towards whatever your goal is.

Because. You must know, there those that you can see and those that you can't, that you would miss or not notice. There those that you can control and there are those that you must let go, you must then only flow.


Level 1 of SE in APU was certainly interesting.

Looking forward to Level 2.

Anticipation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Sem 1 is over,
and all is swell.

Sem 2 is to begin,
our results yet to be seen.

March is the month,
to which our performance is unveiled.

Good,
or bad,
we soon will know.

I hope we'd all succeed,
because I dont want to repeat the show.

APU@TPM : Orientation

Day 3:

Day 3 was a bit interesting. Since all of us introduced ourselves the day before  I had a general idea of their aims and target. Meh~~ cant really say that I do but I at least know their names. Hah.. =)
Along with that, each of them displayed a new look. One with confidence and certainty. I could even go on to say that I could feel their aura. It's like the competition to achieve greatness and excellence had just begun. Even though these friendly rivals are healthy and a great motivator, I was honestly startled by their aura at first.



The atmosphere was no longer thick but each individual now wears their own aura. With this each encounter, with different individuals, gives off a different atmosphere. After that early moment of being startled these new atmosphere fascinates me. I mean, we each come from a different background and many of us come from different countries, apart from the locals of course. With that each of us have a different way of doing things and a different style in how we see a problem. 3 years of this unique blend is gonna be awesome!!

" Schnitzel Awesome~~ Saaawwwsome. !! "

Nothing much other than further getting to know the UC1F1308 intake lot occurs on this day.
Last day of orientation should be something to look forward to.
Sorry I couldn't join you bros for lunch Sarvin and Aiyas~

APU@TPM : Orientation

Day 2 :

~~ The day after Day 1. Wednesday.

As if the pressure of yesterday was not enough, Day 2 orientation starts bloody early. Well, it starts early minus any bloodshed. Apart from that guy that had a paper-cut from his Student Welcome Pack.

The day starts like it continued from where it left off on Day 1. So I sank back in into my seat and watch as time flies... very...very...VERY.....slowly. Ugh! But soon as the first half of the day had passed I manage to get to know a guy from my state of birth. From SABAH!! bah~ Kihhee... this guy keeps to himself at first but then, as it turns out, he has a million stories to share. Which makes me all curious to hear as it involves SABAH!!!  XD

 " Boleh bah kalau kau !!! "

Love that phrase from back home, as in back in Sabah. By the start of the second half of the day the thick atmosphere seems to be more " normal ". I think its because I managed to get to know someone and my nerves of nervousness and excitement is back in my control. "Stay calm~~ stay calm MEA~~ 3 more years to go.". Yeah~ not really a great encouragement there.

This guy is friendly that it makes talking to him easy. When we reach the 'ice-breaking' part, thank you Allah for the 'ice-breaking' session, I was fortunate enough to be in the same group as him. As if that wasn't a blessing enough, I also had the pleasure of getting to know many a amazing people in this group. It turns out we just needed a little push to break our cocoon, to get out of our comfort zone, to get to know each other. Yeah, Sarvin and Fara~~ Dip 'n Dip!!! Let's hit that joint!!
 mmmm....mmm...mmm...Lush~~~~

As the 'ice-breaking' session reaches its end, we all did what every Malaysian did during their early stages of education when they first started school. We each stood up and went...
Each of us: "Hii~~ guys!!"
Guys n' Gals: 'Hii~~'
Us: "My name is - - - -. And I'm from  - - -.  - - years old. Planning to do the - - - course." *sits back down*
Well~~ We each did THAT apart from this guys that invites all of us to his home town. Which is a lovely gesture, and it'd be a pleasure to do so, but duuude~~. There approx. 200 other intakes wanting to introduce themselves after your massive speech plus invitation. XD
Thank you though~

APU@TPM : Orientation

Day 1 :

The day before the orientation start I had checked in into my accommodation and unpacked. The wardens are to-the-point which makes what they explain easily understood. Once everything was settled I went ahead and gotten to know my house-mates. They're an awesome bunch each to their own but friendly, and accepted a new house-mate quite well. They are all from foundation so its difficult to be in synch but I'll leave it to time. I had gotten the room all to myself which is neat. So, sleep was not an issue, once you remove insomnia out of the equation. The atmosphere at that time was somewhat exciting~ The nerves are just like always when treading in a new place.

From my accommodation at Vista, I had the rights, as stated by my Travel Pass, to use the APU [Asia Pacific University] bus to head to the main campus located at TPM [Technology Park Malaysia]. Still feeling all calm and curious about this new place I'm going to be spending 3 years in. Didn't know anyone yet at that time so I do my crazy thing and keep to my self. I think I heard people talking about this guy that talks to himself. Aaaaand I kinda had a feeling of it being me. Owh well~

The atmosphere on the bus was pretty intense. With all the new students, like me minus the crazy, heading for orientation as well. I guess they too were nervous but their poker faces are amazing.

Once we arrived, we were directed by the amazing Student Welcome team to pick up our Welcome Pack. They were friendly, and clear and precise with their instructions. Things were going fine. So, I went and gotten my Student Welcome Pack which consists of my Student ID, Student Handbook and the schedule of the day. From there the schedule lists which auditorium we needed to be in and on which floor. So, not knowing my way around I decided to just follow this group of new students hoping that we'd be heading in the same direction. To my wonders we were~ =D They lead the way walking with such confidence, or at least walking with less nervousness than me.

They entered the auditorium first then I followed. The moment I stepped into the auditorium the pressure suddenly increased. My leg feels so heavy. I look around and DEMM. its a massive hall. After a year of studying at home its a massive change. The atmosphere feels so thick, like the air had just been sucked out of the room. So I dragged myself up the auditorium steps and took my seat at the back.

The first day of APU@TPM. The rest of the day were just listening to "Welcome!!", "Welcome to APU!!~~" and more "Welcome Students of Intake UC1F1308!! To APU!!". It was an earful.
