I GOT INTO UKM

 Hello again! This is the second page, this part I will share with you guys about UKM and me.

I still remember the feelings when I found out the result of my UPU. Although at first, I was disappointed because I didn’t get my first choice which is bachelor’s in accounting at UPM. But, thinking that there might be some wisdom as to why I got into UKM. There might be because it is near where I live. It took only less than 30 minutes from my house to UKM, Bangi. I am glad I still can live close to my family.

Thinking of I will start my freshman year as an undergraduate student at National University of Malaysia in the Bachelor of Administration Business with Honors has really blown my mind. Mixed feelings plagued my mind. I am excited, nervous, and extra happy to start my new journey.

I don’t know where to start but let’s throwback to the first time I set foot on UKM land. Basically, in this page, I will share my experience during my orientation week. I swear it was the most meaningful moment I’ve ever had, and I’ll never forget it. It’s an experience I won’t get anywhere else. So, let’s start with who sent me to UKM on registration day. Like when I was in matric, my father, mother and second sister sent me to my new place of study. My parents were just excited as I was, but they are also overwhelmed that their last child had gone on to graduate school. So crazy when I think I am finally furthering my studies this far, still remember the day my parents sent me to preschool, and I cried so hard and now I took a one more step forward and had to leave them again to chase my dream.

So, I got Kolej Ungku Omar as my residence during my first year. My parents sent me to the college, and my first impression was the college is nice and it is my favorite color which is purple. Unfortunately, parents cannot send me to my room, so I must bring all my stuffs alone to the third floor which my room was located. It was so tiring as I bring quite a lot of things. After I arrived at the room, there was a human figure which is my roommate who had arrived earlier than me as she was from Kelantan. Her name is Isya, we both from matriculation so we are at same age. I’m glad that we are the same age so it is easy for us to be familiar and comfortable to talk. Since many of activities during the orientation have to be with roommate, I think it was a good bonding time with a person we will stay together for years.

                      Thanks to my mother for helping me bringing my stuffs from car park to college.😘

Fast forward to the next day, it was a fresh morning when I woke up in my hostel room, just like how I feel as a fresh year 1 student in UKM. This first day of MAW, we spent the day at DECTAR. It was my first time ever visit DECTAR, it was huge and was filled by 4000 freshman students. It was a normal day and formal talk because we were mostly introduced to PTPTN, interaction between the PTj also the important information about our studies.

 DECTAR fulled by 4 thousands new students.

Second day, we were taken to visit our faculty, my faculty is Fakulti Ekonomi dan Pengurusan. We went there according to our respective colleges, so I get to know new people from the same college which is KUO also same faculty which s FEP. It is easier for us to communicate and get to know each other well. We had interacted with the deans and were introduced to learning methods, subjects, as well as other things regarding our learning while here. I had so much new information from the session.

Third day, activities are conducted in college only and students move according to their own domain groups. Mine was Lestari. I met amazing new people from this activity, I had so much fun throughout the activity. We must move around the college, and we asked to find something related to sustainable and we need to present. The happiest moment during the activity was my group are the winner. I am glad we are easy to work together and successfully win.

The last day, it was very meaningful day as it was the day, we are officially a student of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The day we read the pledge. I am very touched and proud to be a student here. The activities do not end during the day, the climax takes place in the evening until late at night. Those nights, all kinds of stage events went on with great joy and very lively. The most tiring part was Perang DECTAR. It is the tradition event which we fight chant with other college. Its worth the effort as my college managed to stay and was the last college that went back.

Bacaan Ikrar day.

   Perang DECTAR night.

That’s all from me , a few memorable things I could share during my first week at UKM.
