Assalamualaikum and Hi everyone !
Alhamdulillah. I already finished my diploma journey in Lendu after 2.5 years. Actually, my batch is the first one who has the interim session means the freshman will started their study a little bit early than others. We had 7 weeks interim session then 1 or 2 months break before started our first semester of diploma. Its quite good actually as we can get use to our new environment a bit early and get to spend more time with new friends. As we learn some subjects from our first semester during the interim session, so our first semester is really relax and laidback. I had so much fun try to figured out my study styles while trying to know my new friends.
I will miss Lendu.
But, today, I will share my new experience for my degree journey. Yeayy! Currently, I just finished my first semester of degree on 2nd week of July. I’m currently working part time before my new semester starts this October.
I applied for degree during my last semester during diploma. At that time, I still don’t make a decision whether I want to continue in UiTM or apply for UPU. But, I was so busy for my last semester, so I don’t want to overthink about my decision. I just applied the ‘Penerapan Khas’ UiTM. They will give us 3 choices for the courses we want.
Since my first semester, I already targeted to make International Business as my major for degree. But, I hold it first as I want to see if there are any other subject that makes me attracted as International Business is a subject that I learnt during my last semester. During the last 4 semesters, I loved all Management subjects and dislike calculation subjects. It doesn’t mean that I didn’t do well for calculation subjects, its just boring and makes me sleepy all the time eventho I excelled it.
So yeah, I end up choosing International Business as my first choice for degree. My tips here, some of my friends consider about their career and job opportunity in the future while choosing their major. For me, I also consider what I want to do in the future, but it is important to learn something that you really want and interested with. It will be hard journey if you lost interest in the middle of study. I really love International Business as I find it very attractive as I learn more about business in the global perspectives.
During my last semester, there are rumours that said you need to score really well if you want your first choice and to be selected as student in UiTM Puncak Alam. When I applied for my diploma in 2017, I put some laboratory courses as I really interested in it and I really hoped that I get accepted to UiTM Puncak Alam. Its my dream university to begin with. So I tried really hard for my last semester in hope that I will get accepted there.
Alhamdulillah, currently a first year student in UiTM Puncak Alam yeayyyy. Actually, I didn’t expect anything for my degree. I do not know what to prepare. Maybe, because I’m still in my student mode. I got accepted for degree in end February and just finished my diploma in late January so the break is quite short. I don’t even unpack some of luggage because of of the short break LOL
The documents that I need to prepared was quite a lot. Its like my first time again. It makes me nervous as I don’t know if I can adapt or not with the new environment, new place, new friends and new expectation. But, it will be only short journey as I got to cut some of credit hours so I only stay there for 4 semesters of study and 1 semester of internship. The total of 5 semesters. I am expected to graduate on July 2022.
The new environment is great. Actually, there are many familiar faces from Lendu so it still makes me feel like home. But, the new place and the new friends makes me awkward. I had a hard time adjusting myself for the first week. We are quite busy to settle all the process before starting our class. Only the second week, we got our class schedule and meet our new classmates. My new roommate is actually my previous housemate from Lendu. I’m so relax as I don’t need to adapt to a new roommate. Its not that I cant meet new people, its just it takes a lot of time. But with familiar face, atleast I just need to face my new classmates and housemates HAHA
All the colleges there are like apartment, so each apartment have 4 rooms and each has 2 students occupied it. It’s a comfortable room and spacious for students. I love it. Even the café have many choice of foods that I don’t have time to explore. The price is affordable and the taste is good.
Sadly, I only got to stay there for only 3 weeks. During my week 4, the government already announced that all the university will be halt immediately and students must be send back home. So, we started our online class on April. So, it is a really short time for me to adapt to the environment. I guess, if we need to go back this October, it will takes time again to adjust as the first time.
I love it nevertheless. You can really feel the city vibe university. It also has a little bit of private university and I love it.
But still, I miss Lendu environment. I loved everything about that place. It is a perfect environment for student to study and enjoy their student life.
I want to go there again...
