Eighteen and Old-ing !!!

Assalamualaikum and a very good day fellow readers. It had been more than a year that I have been stop blogging. Now that I'm having so much of free time during my sem break, lets start this all over again. Sem Break?? Yeah, I'm having my semester break right now after a short semester of 4 months at UCSI University.Some of you might stop scrolling for a while but I advise you not to start frowning about what the hell UCSI is. Is it in Malaysia or what, government or private institution, what am I doing in there and the list goes on....

UCSI stood for University College of Sedaya International and I am studying in the South Wing of the KL Campus which is located in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. It is a private institution and I am there because I've got MARA scholarship. I did my foundation there and supposed to be furthering my degree in the field of pharmacy. There are 5 of us there, and we are staying in Angkasa Condominium, Taman Connaught which is about 15 minutes of walk from the campus.

As for those of you who might have not heard about UCSI, don't worry, me neither until I got the scholarship. In fact, I applied for Nottingham University in Semenyih. But, it seems that my luck is not there. And the first time I got the offer letter, it first appeared like "Tahniah, anda telah berjaya...", and I let out a yell of happiness until I saw the institution. I was like "where the hell is this, how come I've never heard of this.. Mom, I don't want to go there.. I asked for Nottingham.. I want Nottingham!!!" And then a week after that, I was officially a student of UCSI University..

It is funny though, how I ended up there, in an international university college with a small minority of Malay students. And the cafe had serve none of the Malay foods that we have to walk and get the food at the stalls outside which turns out to be very very very madly EXPENSIVE!!! You have no idea how I hate KL. The weird taste foods, the prices of the groceries which doubled the prices in Kedah, the taxi's fare, and everything... And the most troubling part is there is no Northern people in here. Which mean no one could accompany me "balik kampung" because those in Southern and Eastern states went back home by bus from "TTS" and Pudu while I need to wait at Hentian Duta. As not to complicate matters because I am all alone, I went back by flight. But the airport is quite far too that my cousin need to fetch me because the taxi drivers are all cheaters.. See how opportunists those in KL are... In Kedah, the taxi drivers even give discount for university students.

As for the next post, I would write about so many tips for my dearly juniors.. Just wait for it.. :D
