My First Independent Journey

Ok so i will continue my story today with the tittle :my first independent journey. why I wrote this thing? First, it is  because I want to share my story with regard to first day I split with my family and came to the new place that i never go before. i want to share my experience that i got before I’m coming to the University. As i mentioned earlier at the first entries I’m actually not from Kedah state. I'm sabahan, After STPM I’m waiting for the result ( STPM result ) and as a student we must fulfill the document in the internet to choose what type of University that we like to enter and what program we like to choose.

After 7 month waiting for my UPU application, one message come into my phone and told me that I have been offered to continue a further study at UUM. When i got this message my first expression was happy and my second expression was weird because actually i don't know where is the University Located and how i should go there. So, my journey begins here when i go alone to this University without anyone followed me. 3 days before go to the university i didn't buy any ticket and when I try to buy the ticket i was shocked because it's so expensive, RM700 per person and i told my parents that they should not followed me because the ticket was expensive. ok before i leave from my house, that time I was so sad because that was my first time I was split with my parents and siblings, but the most sad thing was my mother because she never split with me since i was born, she cried a lot on that time and we was hugged together like she doesn't want to split with me, and i still remembered what she said to me that " where ever you go, whatever you do don't ever forgot me, you must take care of yourself , you must study hard to achieve your life goal, you must learn how to stand alone and live at people place, don't too much played, don't ever leave your responsibility as a Muslim person and the last she said was “i love you son”, it is hard for me to let you go but for your future I will do. Goodbye my son, my blessed always with you". On that time I was cried but i didn't show to her, i just keeping my smile but my heart was crying. the distance from my house to the Tawau airport is about 25 kilometer and  taking 25 minutes to reach there. after i arrived to the airport my mind on that time was still remembered what just happened at the house. i think I’m losed something but i don’t know what is it because i had prepared all my stuff before coming here and yeah it is difficult to said it.

Tawau Airport 

LCCT

At the Airport I have met a person that got same University with me . oh god I was happy on that time, her name is Hamidah, white skin, have beautiful smile and she is kind person. Her face looks like with my cousin. Back to my story, after I know her, we have a great chat like I know her long before, so nice to see her on that time, indirectly my mind become peace from think something that I should not think. my flight at 9.45 p.m  and I arrived at the LCCT Kuala Lumpur at 12.00pm but whether I reach to the LCCT, I will split with hasmidah because she need to take another flight to go to Penang before go to the university and I just go alone taking the bus to go Pudu at Kuala Lumpur and stayed in there until morning.

Pudu Central

At 9.00 a.m  I go to the mall beside the Pudu station bus such as Mydin, Kota Raya and so on to buy something before go the University and I just put my stuff in Pudu because there have a shop to offer the left-luggage service. In KL city actually I don’t know the road or way to go anyway, I just walking like I know that place and make my face like I have been there for a long time whether that was my first time. Why I act like that because I have been told by someone if you in a new place don’t act like you are foreigner or strange person because probability that you will be fooled by community or people at there is higher. So my suggestion is just make myself like I’m a local and stayed there. At Night, I will go to the university by using a bus, double-decker bus and I forgot the name of that bus.

Kota Raya

It takes about 6 hours from Pudu to University. My student residential hall (DPP) is Petronas but all the passenger in the bus off at Dpp proton at 5.15 a.m. on that time people still sleep and I don’t know how to go to my residential hall, so I’m just waited until morning and asked people when they walking here. So I have met one chinese boy and he is also student there help me to show the way to go to my residential hall. after that I just followed him and then I saw my residential college . At that time I was so happy.

When I reach there, I saw all student accompanied by their parent but I just alone. But never mind I tried to cheer myself with either there have their parents together but as me I can travel alone without help from anyone to came here. But you know at that time I was actually so tired to bring my luggage and I didn’t took shower yet but they already asked me to enroll inside the residential office , you know on that time I not ready to prepare for myself but they already asking my document and so on. On that time also I have met someone and I called him cikgu Nadzir he’s the first person I know followed by cikgu Jimi and others friend and now I have a lot of friend that I can’t count. 

UUM

So the moral of this story is there are no barrier if you want to become successful, it’s up to you to make it success and also put your effort. Believe yourself that you can make it happen either you are alone or not and proud to be yourself with what you have done.
