My 1st Semester of University Life

After nearly 9 months... I'm back! 


Well, from the last post, I listed down all my choices and I was totally so confusing at that time... But, I've finish 1 semester in USM Kampus Kesihatan, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan for nutrition course... Well, yeah, it's my first choice for USM, it's just that I didn't aspect it to be in Kelantan...

So many things happened in my 1st semester, I get chicken pox during orientation week and went back during that week, missed kem pimpim siswa, and went back registering all the courses alone with a head full of question marks. Thanked God for sending me a great senior, Ng Yong Siang. Yong Siang, you really helped me a lot back then, really don't know what to do if you were not there to help me that time hahaha...


1st week was really tough for me. Everyone already formed their own group of friends and I was just starting to get to know them. Everyone already started with all the assignments and I'm still so blur about the subjects. Everyone already started to get use to the life there and I still feel homesick... Really a stressful 1st week for me... Once again, thanked God for sending me such kind and helpful course mates to help me out. Ng Lee Teng and Lee Ying Huoy! Thank you ar! ^^

It's really amazing how a person can adapt to a totally new environment so fast. I began to get use of the campus life, busying with all the assignments, activities, continuous assessment aka CA (our test), and I don't feel homesick any more. Sometimes, I even felt that I'm enjoying my life there hahaha...

You might think that what made my life so interesting over there. Kelantan is just a place without TGV or GSC or MBO, without Greenbox or Redbox or Neway, without Jaya Jusco or 'KB Parade', no McD delivery after 12am and no mamak stall. At first, I really think that Kelantan is a pathetic place, but think twice, it's a perfect place for studies hahaha...


My nutrition family is the main reason I get to enjoy my life in USMKK. This big family brought so much joy and support to me during the 5 months in USMKK. However, other courses friends also shared many joyful moments with me, especially the nutrition's best friend, the dietetics. 

Nutrition Happy Family ^^

Nutrition + Dietetics + Forensic

In the beginning, SKs will only hang out with SKs, and SPs and SGs will only linger among themselves. Thanked to our USMKK Chinese tradition, all 1st year Chinese have to come out with a Mooncake Festival Night and this is the thing that brought us all together. Although the days during preparation were so tiring and exhausting, some even skipped classes just to finished up the works, we all felt the same kind of satisfaction at the end of the day. Our Mooncake Festival Night might not be the best, but it is the best for all the 1st years ^^

The next thing that made me life complete in USMKK is my brothers and sisters in Christ. By attending CF, choir practice and church services, I really felt that God is always with me no matter what condition I am dealing to. I realised that my spiritual life grown quite a lot in these few months. I prayed so hard for a christian room mate before entering USMKK yet God gave me 3 Malay room mates. I was like "God! What is this?!". I need someone to encourage me to read God's word everyday as I'm really very lazy when it comes to reading the bible. But, God always have His perfect plan. My 3 Malay room mates pray everyday, and don't know for how many times. This really encourages me to read the bible and pray too as I don't want to loose to them ><   I truly understand God's purpose for giving me 3 Malay room mates now. 

Last but not least is wushu! Yup, for all my non-USMKK friends information, I'm learning wushu now hahaha... Just started learning for a few months, only know some basic moves such as some 基本功, 五步拳 and the 1st part of 南拳. Now practising like hell for 2011's CNY performance >< Although the training were very tiring especially the stamina training part, I really enjoyed it. Many thanks to all our wushu club seniors like 长拳爸爸-Ong Ee, 南拳妈妈-Vivian, 太极奶奶-Jia Miao, our blur blur president-Chee Keong, our cool cool China-looked senior-Ming Jian and the most 多余 Yi Chuan. Thanks for being so patient while training us. We will try our best! We will train hard! We will put our best show on CNY night! 

南拳开式！

Time passed so fast, 1 semester had ended and more challenges are waiting ahead. Really can't wait for next year's Christmas Night and CNY Night >< Thanked God for placing so many great friends in my life in order to help me through my campus life without my family around. May God continue to bless those around me and me as we continue our journey as a student in USMKK in the 2nd semester ^^
