Settled In

Life~

A while ago, I had trouble deciding weather if I should stay local or leave the country. A week ago, I took the option of Law, that meant I am now studying at UKM, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia or National University of Malaysia.

Well, before going was pretty bad. I didn't know what I was going to expect but I suppose that is normal. However, because of the experience I have in NS, National Service, I kept having flashbacks of how bad the first couple of weeks were back in Perlis. I had sleepless nights and when I was at Penang International Airport, I was so sad. I did not want to leave my comfort zone for another NS experience.

The first few days were bad, because I still had doubts about my stay in UKM. My mind still wandered away to Singapore and I would occasionally think about my prospects in Singapore. Realistically, UKM offers a much better future but going to NUS was just glamorous.

So anyways, back to the thought of UKM being like NS, how wrong I was.

Its nothing like NS. Everyone here are like super nice. Young or old, everyone seem to be better than what I had expected. The place looks pretty awesome too. Despite having buildings that would belong at the set of "Back to the Future", the awesome facilities, teaching staff, seniors and studying environment totally made up for it.

I cannot say I totally love it here in UKM but its not that bad. Law, on the other hand is a pain in the ass. My days are so packed while my friends here in UKM still look like they have yet to enter a class. For me, in the past 2 days, I have already got into a total of almost 18 hours of lecture. Its not much of a lecture, more to introduction but still it was draining.

So anyways, yeah. UKM it is. I will learn to love it more but it has been a fun experience so far. The people here are REALLY nice. The food here gives me sore throat but other than that, its fine. Haha.
