Second Weeks in Uni

Hello! I’m back again. Hardly for me to get internet here. They do provide wifi service mostly everywhere in the uni but the signal is just so low especially for my block of hostel. My room is so far from the router and that’s why I can’t access internet in my room. Luckily Dad sign me data for my phone. At least still can update myself through facebook and instagram. So fed up with the line here. Even broadband also hardly to access internet! WTF?!

Classes already started during my second weeks in uni. We arranged the timetable all by ourselves based on our convenient. We need to register all the courses that we take during this semester online. We need to be fast so that we can grab the limited places. We should actually take 19 credit hours each semester but can maximize it to 22 credit hours. I tried my best to grab the maximum credit hours for this semester so that later on I can focus more on my core courses but too bad many courses priority are for the second year student’s. I just managed to grab 17 credit hours for this semester. So sad! But the way a big thanks for my friend – Jentin! She helped me a lot for these courses online registration. She also came from Kuantan but before this we don’t know each other until we came here and took the same courses. She is so helpful and this semester I had all the same classes with her. Phew! At least get 1 partner and I won’t feel so lonely.

Mostly of my lecturer are Malay’s except for my Business Communication 1 lecturer was ang mo. He came from USA. Luckily his accent was not that strong. I still manage to understand what he try to say. Hopefully all the lecturers will be good to us for this coming 3 months!

First week lecture was not heavy. Lecturer just came in the class and introduce themselves and do some introduction about the courses we took. Wao! All of my core courses lecturer came back from overseas. London, Japan and Australia. Besides that we even divided to groups for our assignment project. We are lucky because we can choose our group members ourselves. I'm in the same group with Jentin and another course friend, Chung Zai. The other group members are approximately same. Will introduce them later when we start our project works.

I went to The Spring shopping mall, which is the most high class shopping mall in Kuching so far with Cheryl that Wednesday. Both of us don't have class on that afternoon, so we decide to go to the mall to have a walk. She has a car here so it is more convenient. She came to my hostel to fetch me. We had our lunch at Sushi King. Owh, I miss those foods! Hardly for me to get Japanese food in uni. After lunch we just hang around the mall. The Spring is smaller than ECM but the things selling there is more branded. Bought some grocery before we left the mall.

Besides that another highlight of my second weeks in Uni was my Faculty Orientation. We had our faculty orientation for 3 days. It started at Friday night. We had ice-breaking that night. We were divided randomly. Oh no! I'm not in the same group with Jentin or Chung Zai. I'm alone! We learn Oppa Gangnam Style too that night. We had our PERFEP (Persatuan Fakulty Ekonomi dan Perniagaan) AGM.


On Saturday, We need to get up early for the station games. We were given 5 station to complete. We need to complete all the 5 station under hot sun! Oh yea, Sarawak is extremely hot! The Sun can killing me! I need an umbrella whenever i walk inside the uni or hostel! After the games I start feeling not well. Afternoon we were practicing the Oppa Gangnam Style. Night we celebrating Malam Beraya. We had some simple dinner and some performance.

The next morning my group member gather to practice for the show that we need to perform that night. I'm sick so I skip that practice. In the afternoon we were asked to gather again for the rehearsal for the FEB Got Talent that held that night. My group was group 16 and was the 9th group the performing. My group member performing few dances that include Chinese dance, Iban dance and Malay dance. I didn't join anyone because I'm not feeling well. Me and the other 2 girls of my group didn't join the performance. When almost our turn to perform, we were asked to prepare at the backstage. 3 of us suddenly feel like joining them at the stage. It was a kind of weirdo if we didn't join so last minutes we joined them. With just 5 minutes practicing, we just went up to the stage to perform. Luckily is just some simple steps! Jentin group won the champion. Everyone enjoyed a lot that night although everyone was tired.

Well that's all about my second weeks in uni. Uni life start! GoGoGo!
