If any of my ex- or current classmates see this, do comment in the comments area. I'd love to hear from you, especially since I am still quite unfamiliar with the majority of you. Yang kenal I tu, kenal lah. XD
Let's see, what else is there... Ah, I am taken. Let me make that clear, so please stop trying to set me up with seniors and classmates.
I'm still getting used to life in a hostel, having to manage my own finances (consulting parents for purchases above a certain number; particularly if that number is half my monthly allowance), doing my own laundry, etc. Not that I don't know how to do most of it.
Despite that, I maintain a certain level of calmness, probably because the hectic schedules have not made their ways in yet XP Eagerly awaiting the day studying has the challenge factor again. I know, I'm a weirdo for wanting that, but I'll be honest about this. I need the challenge so I can feel like myself again. Lately I've been down because so many things have changed since I left secondary school and the proverbial nest to spread my proverbial wings.
On the bright side, I've spread my wings; I'm sharing a room for the first time in years on a semi-permanent basis. I've learnt why tolerance is so difficult for some, particularly if the person(s) you're tolerating get on your nerves for the smallest things.
The lesson of "Sharing is Caring" that I have had imprinted on my soul for years is beginning to hit its edge. Is it that hard to ask if you can use someone's things? I went to campus from the hostel one morning after finishing my Milo and washing my personal mug; only to come back that evening to find it sitting on the table half full of water. Like, really?!
On the other hand, they do share too, just in a more obvious way. Their intentions are good and initially in their own interests, which is why I think I'll give them a break because I benefit from those intentions. Had the effects of their efforts been an impediment to my newfound life, I'd have made a statement despite my introversion and generally mannerful disposition.
I miss my family very much though. Unlike the past in which my parents and grandparents went to university, I can easily talk to my parents and siblings, who are but a phone call away. Ironically, that is what makes me miss them all the more.
Well, if my newly free time permits, I'll update a while lot more often. If not... Well, you who reads these would have seen the disparity that is the updates on this blog.
FYI, I am a student in the Foundation in Science (leading to medicine) program at Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS) and I'm glad to be here.
This place is Malay-majority, but I'm used to that. In fact, I relish in the fact as that is one more constant in my life to hold on to.
Well then, till next we meet. Ja ne!
