Convocation 35

It'd been such a long time since I updated my blog. There'd been so many things to be done, especially with last week konvokesyen, and all sorts of assignments, I can hardly breath! Well, life still has to go on, isn't it? Though I'm very busy with homework and projects, I don't think writing blog is considered a waste of time (like some of my friends do), as this is the only place where I can express my feelings in words..

Well, thank goodness now that convocation's finally over! I'd tried my best to attend to as many sessions as possible, especially when there're choir seniors graduating. The moment that I enjoyed most was when we all sang 'Music Speak to Me Now' in a circle (kinda 'syok sendiri'.. haha.. but feel good^^) for the graduating seniors and the going-to-graduate seniors. And of course we won't miss out the 'lambung' of those graduating seniors, I even got the chance of 'lambung-ing' Yun Xin (KK was so nervous, maybe he thought we don't have enough strength, but we made it!) Singing for the convo's indeed a great experience for me.. Although it's very boring while waiting there and we had to fake our enthusiasm while singing 'Nyalakan Tekad' and 'Tanjung Puteri', it helps me to understand more about Choir, and also get closer with all of the choir members.

A big thank you to all choir members and of course, Eugene, for letting me to join in this great big family...

Life in UKM

Finally, my 1st ever blog is formed. I wish I could jolt down everything that's happened in my life here, to be kept as a record (something like a diary)...

Well, 1st thing 1st, I've started my life here in UKM for about a month now. I checked in to KPZ (Kolej Pendeta Za'ba), the buildings are quite new, and the food here is quite tasty compared to the other colleges' (that's what i heard from my friends..) But still, this college that i stay now is really far from my faculty! (I study Statistics, at FST) I get frustrated sometimes while I wait for the UKM buses, and the way we fight to get into the bus, you'll think we're mad... Most of the times I'm more willing to stand than to fight the way through with the others... Well, that's nothing to be complaint though, I can't change it right? I'm getting used to it now, and i've got a bunch of friends here in Za'ba too! Now we're planning to stay here next year...

Oh yeah... There's something else I want to share, I'm joining the UKM Choir now! During the audition, I was so nervous that I kept twisting my fingers behind my back! Haha... But everything is ok now, the seniors there are all very nice, helping us to learn songs for Pesta Konvo.. We've overall 13 songs to practise, sometimes trying to remember the lyrics and tunes is driving me mad! Still, I get excited everytime there's practise session on Sunday and Tuesday night. Singing in a team is nothing like i've done before, and great pleasure always come everytime we learn a new song together.

Uni life is different from what i'd experienced in secondary school or matriculation (except for lectures and tutors... Still very boring...), it's a totally new life, yet I long to experience more from here...
