I remembered the first time I got an offer letter to this course. I dropped on my knee and cried so hard. Well, if I have stopped here, you might think that I cried because I'm overwhelmed. Boo boooo.. Wrong! I cried because I did not want this course. I cried because my dream job was fading far far away from me. I dreamed to be a designer. I dreamed to find a job of my dream as Conficious said, "When you have a job you love, you won't be working another day of your life.."
So, with a sad face, a heavy and unwilling heart, I took the offer. Partly because mom don't let me enter Taylor's. 7 hours ride to the college and there it stood. Admist all the trees and no tall buildings within like 30km radius? I registered and went into my room. I was dead shock to see how dirty the place is. More like a haunted house. Clean, clean, clean. Unpacked and bid my family goodbye.
Orientation week. I was the youngest among all. A crybaby, I am. Looking back at it, I pity my roomate at that time, Connie Ting for having to hear me sobs the whole week. However, miracously, I survived that week. One week being tormented by seniors. Sleepless night. Oh what memories it was.
There it was. 16 of us. Pretty laid back at first. Not much lecture to attend to. I also had problem communicating with the rest as my Mandarin was freaking terrible at that time. I was like partially deaf and whole dumb when it comes to Mandarin. With patience, rest of the Chinese girls in my class were patient enough to teach me. Much appreciation even until today. :)
Few weeks later, comes six more girls. Pretty girls. There's even two that are taller than me, making me the third tallest in the class with Lung Lung. Now, we have 22 in the class.
Everyday, we had lectures until the Sun decided to set in. I remembered that we only had like three classes present in the college with all the other seniors out for practicum. The lecturers were eager to enter our class.. even when it was not in the schedule. So, we appreciated their enthuiasm and effort in educating us, trying their hardest to guide us in passing the evaluation assessment.
There were also various events to attend to such as event celebration, marathon, sports and et cetera. Our relationships were tight. We knew who is who and what was going on within the college. Pish, posh.. Tick, tock. One and a half years passed by. We did barbeque for farewell and everyone cried until their eyes wanna popped out.
January 2007 arrived. Campus changed to Kota Samarahan. 22 together again! Tsk! Nobody was away.. lol~ The class was tight at first but got more loose with the time as this campus is bigger. People spread to make new friends. Less events to attend to and more assignments to deal with. Dealing with assignments and poofed! 4 years were gone! I can't believe I have completed my degree in Education. Love and hate. Give and take. I learned to love my job, my profession. Though designing is still my first choice, I believe I can make way for educating children.
