heihei… it’s been two weeks since i arrived in sabah, the land below the wind… when i first arrived, it was nothing special, the airport isnt as modern as the one in penang…the seniors were waiting for us and there were lots of ppl who arrived on that day too…we then headed to UMS using the UMS bus and the seniors were so kind to carry our super extra biggy luggage and arranged everything for us. on the way we passed KK town and it was like..urm, so hard to say ler..it was pretty dull and not colourful as in penang loh…the town is big but as i said, not that modern ler… then, when we were approaching UMS, it was a fascinating sight to see how beautiful UMS is… probably it’s still new and the buildings are different in a way too… most of the buildings are red in colour but they arent high rise or watso ever… it;s totally different from what i saw in UUM or even UPM… after registering into the hostel, i started to clean everything and then slept ler…the next way was registration for uni and i didnt have to line up with the rest as i did my STPM in 2003..hehe..then, went back to hostel and slept again.. hehe… kinda tired ler… life starts early here.. the sun rises at 6am and by 9am, it;s scorching hot like in the afternoon in peninsular… after that, orientation for like 5 days… suffering ler…woke up at 4am daily for wat ceramah moral and stuff and i usually slept the whole way thru… then the never ending taklimat and stuff.. and obviously, sleep and sleep non-stop ler… wat to do, my eyes just automatically close ler..the worse was the seniors over here are more cheeky..they captured photos and images of those who slept and presented them in power point for the audience..walau eh…i think i saw my face on the screen but wasnt exactly sure whether it;s me or not ler…hehe… sia sui man… then we had ‘taichi’, aerobic and marathon sessions which were very tiring and demanding ler… coz we walked alot plus the hilly roads didnt help much…and due to the orientation too, my leather shoes are worn out..like crocodile’s mouth dee…luckily got bring other sandals..if not,sure pengsan… the best part was when we had sessions with our coursemates…and from there i got to know that there are a lot of ppl like my case… around 10 of us. a few of them went to IMU for pharmacy or medic… then, we went over to queen elizabeth hospital for a visit… my heart really melted to see the condition over there…the wasnt enough doctors over there and i just dont know how to express my feelings when i was there..it does inspire me to strive harder to achieve this ambition and to be able to serve the community… i did consider of doing my housemanship over here… but i cant really be sure…just see how things will be in the coming 5 years… then, get to see the cadavers… one of the gals was a bit shocked but later on okay dee… i didnt exactly feel anything, maybe becoz i’m very firm in some way… or i’m prepared for it…:)
meet really nice frens… and i’m one of the ‘wargatua’ in class…most of them are 20, 19 or some even 18…really so sia sui eh…so, they ask me to treat as their sister or sumething ler…we are encouraged to speak and participate in class and thank GOD, the lecturers are stressing the usage of english… getting along well with everyone though i know others are forming alliance here and there… nah, i’m good to everyone….. we are suppose to stay as a team for the coming 5 years… so…cooperation and helping others is our routine….
