Its now going to be the 3rd week since studies started.Somehow it feels like a lifetime already. Studieshere are very much different than in Kolej. Here my parents are not around to force me to study,nobody to tell me when to start doing my homework,assignments and revision. Homework here is optional. That to me is no good at all. I’m afraid that laziness will get the better of me and when that day comes,i’m in deep shit bcoz i won’t be getting the practice i need to be good in the subject. But thank God i have good seniors and roommates to advise me on what to do. Now i truly see how important friends really are and the right friends will be of great help. Another thing i noticed in uni life is the washing. Damn there is so much. To make things worse,there is no machine here,only the dobi. So to save money,i have to wash my own clothes. It is not easy and very tiring. Now i know what my mum had to face through all this time,and she has four times more workload than i have. My mum indeed is amazing to have survive my “sweet” smelling clothes drenched with sweat that neeeded to be washed. So far,i have faced three major problems. First is water. I don drink enough. This caused me to be sick on the first few days on orientation. But i learned my lesson well and have been drinking alot ever since. Second is food. Now i know why some ppl go to uni and come back losing weight. Its either bcoz they are lazy to eat or no one to eat with. once again,freinds play an important role. What will we do without friends. late;ly i notice that i have skipped a few meals. so far not bcoz of laziness or lack of friends to eat with but bcoz my classes are in the afternoon. By then its too hot to walk back home to eat and not enough time. The food in uni really sucks and its disgustingly expensive. My friend ate some “curry” chicken that looked blazing red but when he took a bite,he tasted nothing. And he paid round three somehting for it.all he took was that “blazing” chicken and rice. THank you MMU for providing such “interesting” food with such “robust flavours”. Anyway,the third problem is…..GETTING UP EARLY!!!!! here,once again my parents are not here to wake me up on time and i have to do it on my own. But its kinda weird lately. I seem to wake up earlier than the time i set my alarm clock to. When i have to wake up at 7.30 on tuesdays and fridays,i wake up at 6.30!!!! very very weird for me bcoz during my holidays i have been waking up at 12.=P And while writing this,i realize my third problem.I haven’t been going to church. Its almost one month now and i haven’t gone to church even once. Although i’m not going to church,i’ve been praying everyday.Even before i eat. This to me again is unusual bcoz i usually will miss my daily prayers and i won’t pray to thank God for the food. Now here i am faithfully praying before each bite of food and saying the Lord’s prayer before i go to sleep. I can’t sleep if i don pray. I guess God is truly with me so that i will never drift away from Him. As you realize when you read this blog,you notice that i mention how important friends is to me in uni life. So imporant that i start to regret not keeping in touch with my old friends. Lately i seem to be missing my old friends and wondering how they are doing. But with the will to keep in touch with old friends come a problem. MONEY!!!!! when i start to message i can harldly stop. And without me noticing it my credit will disappear in a flash. Wish Maxis would make messaging free.=P ok ok.i know that is too much to hope for. So thats all i can write for now. I’m starting to get hungry and i need to eat. So to those who read this blog,thanks for taking the time to read my rambling. May God bless you and you have a great day.
