Bon Voyage UiTM Dungun, Terengganu!

It has been a beautiful journey throughout the 3 year process of getting a Diploma. I finished with a CGPA of 3.70 together with an award called the "Anugerah Naib Chanselor/ Vice Chancellor Award". To get this award, one should get at least a minimum GPA of 3.50 (Dean's List Award) every semester without fail.

I dont intend to show off how great I am, but I think I should award myself by sharing my success with you guys. Knowing how terrible I was academically and socially when I was in school, who would have thought I have changed drastically winning the "Best Student" tittle award several times? I could'nt believe myself.

What I'm trying to say is that its never too late to change, people may judge you when you were younger and say things to make you feel like an idiot. The deterimation and desire from within is powerful enough to make you change in becomming a better & stronger person. I know its difficult but you should take one step at a time and you'll change before you notice it.

Some advice: Academically, be consistent in your studies and always ask questions to your teacher. Socially, join as many society or clubs in your institute, you'd be surprised how many friends you'll make.

UiTM Terengganu had changed me so much. For that I wish to say THANK YOU!

Trip to Kuala Lumpur

I reached the TOP of Gunung Ledang

Who would have thought of climbing "Gunung Ledang", the Malaysia's historical mountain? It stands 1276 meters above the sea level, located at the boarder of Melaka and Johor.

I heard about this expedition about 2 months ago which was organised by GPMS, UiTM Terengganu. I immediately signed up and paid approximately RM35 for the whole fee, which was a good deal. Who could imagine paying a little money for such an experience, exposure, food, transportation, and entertainment? For that I have to thank the University and the Government for the subsidy.

11th May 2009

There were 60 students who signed up and half of us were surprisingly female. We departed from the University at 8 am and it was a 9 hour drive to reah our destinantion. We stayed in a Kampung house and slept on the floor that night.

12th May 2009

We reached at the foot of the Gunung Ledang around 8 am and started climbing. We were told that it was the 6th most difficult mountain to climb in Malaysia and Gunung Kinabalu being the 11th. This is mainly because Gunung Kinabalu has all the facilities to facilitate tourists to climb.

There were 8 checkpoints all together to reach to the top of Gunung Ledang and I was already panting crazily reaching the 1st checkpoint. The journey was very difficult I tell you! We walked, we ran, we climbed, we jumped, and we had to use all our strength to get to the top.

The journey got quite interesting as we got higher due to curiousity. The air was cooler and the trees were of different species compared to the trees on the lower ground. Everything was wet up there even the rocks, trees, and soil. There were moss and mushrooms too, lots of them!

We reached the top of Gunung Ledang around 2pm. Everybody cheered happily and we had to wait for others to arrive which took around 1 hour or so.

Getting up there was a real trouble, but there were more to come. Climbing down the mountain! It was 4pm when we decided to climb down in which it was already too late. The tour guide said that we would reach the bottom around 9 pm as it was already too late and we would definitely have to go through the darkness. Unless if we ran down, we could make it on time before it gets dark. Surprisingly out of 30 of us, only 1 brought a torchlight.

I, along with some other guys and girls ran down as fast as possible as we started off. I tell you, the whole climbing down thing was a real torture! Nobody talked, we were all moody and mad because we were in pain and hunger. I totally gave up and wished a hellicopter could rescue me. I was even willing to spend a night in the forest just to be able to rest. But my friends kept me going because I would'nt want to be the only one left out. "Sakit! SAkit! Sakit!!!!!" I didnt bother about my life anymore at that time. I sort of ran quickly and hung on every tree I could possibly reach, oh and I even slide down on my butt when the earth were smooth and steep. Once, I slide and knocked down one of my juniors infront of me. She landed on me and we laughed hystarically. Like I said, I didnt bother if it was dangerous and I was not afraid of injury or maybe death at that moment, I just wanted to get out of the forest.

We reached the bottom at 7 pm and we shouted happily as we saw civilization infront of us. Everybody ran and rolled on the green grass , like in any typical Hindi movies. It was such a relief! We had to wait for others to arrive and all 10 of us slept on the grass. It was unfortunate for the other groups as they only reached down at 9 pm. It was a pitty that they had to go through the total darkness in tn the forest with only 1 torchlight. They said they saw things in the forest in which they say were ghosts... One of them must have been the ghost of Puteri Gunung Ledang maybe? hehe, I dont know.

I found out that most of us had the same question in our minds. How did Hang Tuah climbed Gunung Ledang with his "samping" and "tanjak"?

That's where Puteri Gunung Ledang lives. The one in the middle

I drank the water from Gua Majapahit. The water was yellow and bubbly.

It was a GREAT achievement for me to be able to climb to the very top of Gunung Ledang, I've made a history in my life and I'm very proud of it and I hope my future children and grandchildren would be too. Given the opportunity to do it again? I will never do it, most of us wouldnt!

Jalan terkangkang-kangkang. No need to explain why. We stopped at Melaka on our way back to Dungun, Terengganu.

And that's how I celebrate my unofficial Diploma graduation :)

Welcome!

Hey guys! I'm new to blogging!

I've always been reading other people's blog but I never thought of making one myself. Seeing how others use this media to express their feelings and obtain satisfaction, i think i should give it a try since im not so good at expressing feelings orally. Besides, I hope to improve my writing skills thru this.

I'm having some sort of a breakdown at the moment. I'm emotionally and mentally unstable due to numerous reasons. As some of you may know, my mum is not in a good health condition and it's nature for her son to feel worried. I feel bad everytime I come home late after work, thinking of how hungry she must have been just waiting for her dinner.

TAlking about work, I feel stupid and useless working (internship) on accounts everyday as i hate that subject so much back in the University. I'm split apon two parts here! I don't know what I should study when I do my bachelor's degree later, and I dont know what I'm gonna be! Now that concerns me a lot.

I'm sitting for MUET and my first paper will be on Tuesday (4th November 2008). I havent done so much revision, knowing that they've just changed the format, which should be harder.

I was invited to a friend's open house today. I was feeling quite energized and was looking forward to get out from the house after a day of boredom! And so i left at 8pm from home thinking i'd be there in 10 minutes since the place was only a few kilometers away. The thing is that I've never been to his apartment before, but i was confident enough to look for it since i had my Street Directory (Panduan jalan raya Kuala Lumpur) with me. Confidently i turn left at this corner and turn right at the other corner, but I couldnt find the destination. So i wanted to call my friend and ask for direction, but I LEFT my handphone in my bedroom! I tried tu pusing-pusing around the area asked for directions but none of them knew where the apartment was, because there was no apartments or tall buildings around the area. So i gave up and wanted to go home, but i got lost. Ke Pandan Indah, Pandan Jaya, Jalan Melaka, Ampang Avenue, Bandar Baru Ampang, Taman Cempaka, Taman Cahaya...... I was really lost like seriously. I lived my whole life in Ampang but I've never been to that part of the world before! after an hour and a half (1 1/2 jam), I found my way out...thanks to that signboard that says (Kuala Lumpur), I got home. Then I went out again after getting the direction from my friend, baru lah jumpe that apartment. I wasted about 2 hours of my life and a quater of a full tank GAS.


So much for my first post huh? I've already start complaining.. bare with me :)
