My days in Singapore.

12 July 2011 is the first time in my life I step into the land of Singapore. This is the country I never anticipate to enter because I show no interest to it. However, the only thing I am excited being in this place is to take a look what is National University of Singapore. Well, NUS is actually quite big but the seniors don't think that way because they claimed that they could walk around the whole NUS using 80 minutes and they can even memorize the map of NUS. Well, definitely Singapore is a small country and the land property is fewer, so I think we can't expect it to be really huge like a city. At least, the size of it, to me is not bad, and never a disappointment.

Until now, my favourite moment being here is joining the Association Malaysia Chinese Independent School Alumni (AMCISA) Freshman Orientation Camp (FOC). This is the best camp I have ever joined and none of the camp I organized or joined in the past can compare to this camp. The activity was cool, fun and very meaningful. I will never have such a great start in NUS without AMCISA.
In this camp, I find there are friends that could really play hard and study hard together. They are understanding and basically all of the freshman here are smart ass, really really smart and this is really an excitement.

Another interesting thing I find here is, Tsun Jin graduates who enter NUS are really little. The two largest group of students from Chinese Independent Schools are Foon Yew High School and Chong Hwa High School(KL). However, none of these matters, I just hope students from Tsun Jin will increase in future. Among the groups, I like students who came from Foon Yew high school most. They have the same kind of pleasant personality that I admire. Most of them are very active, brave, wise, outspoken and with right attitude. There are many things I got inspired by them and it makes me to have the desire to change for a better me. I am going to stick to them and learn with them, they are very special to me. I hope Tsun Jin can educate the students like the way Foon Yew did. I will definitely send my future children into Foon Yew if I have the chance. Students from Foon Yew are easy to be friends. I like them very much.

A start of my new journey

Okay, these are the last seven hours in my  place of living, my bedroom was nicely clean up, became more empty. First time in my life, I see my room in this kind of situation, the traces of me in my room are the least , never been like that before All this while, the room was messy, many stuff on the desk, but now it is really tidy and empty. "Ya room, your master is going to leave you, leave you clean and tidy". While packing and cleaning the room, I "pack " my feelings too. Goodbye friends and family. Hope all of us get used to the absence of me in Malaysia very soon, especially to my parents.

Someone told me how to deal with the feelings of the last days being in my own hometown. I have to think I will meet up with new friends which is going to be fun, I have to think I have had great times with my friends and family here and I have to feel grateful for that, I have to think anyhow I will be leaving this place eventually sooner or later. Ya, right ways to deal with the feeling of extreme reluctance, but still it is eating me.Anyway, I believe it is temporary, every year all students go through the same kind of process. Sure, it is just a very usual situation. All I can do to feel better other than thinking the way someone suggested me, I think it will be to recall all stuff that happened with some BFFs, family and friends. The only way to take away those memories with me, good or bad, they are all special, and they are the only thing left I can bring away with me. Then, I have to put down everything in the past, and look forward the journey awaiting me, nothing to hold me back.

This is the other journey, whatever I achieved in the past, shouldn't bring me  more pride, but as a reminder how I actually did it. This is another start from zero, and I have to walk it in humility. A humble heart, a passion to go further and further, an ongoing determination and a mind with more self-control than before are what I need to always remember. Hope not to lose myself, hope I will change better, hope I will continue to excel in many areas, and hope to walk with my Lord always.

Bye, my home..
