Since this monday, 18th April, the new May intake students in Nilai International University College can choose to attend the headstart program that only offered to those who have paid their first semester fees. Before that, you may wonder why my blog before this written that I am now studying in KLIUC but now I said I'm studying in Nilai? Actually yes, I was really a student in KLIUC that time, I even have a student card there but on the first day of class, immediately that morning I withdrawed from that college. Why? Because the students here were not good. They smoked in front of a sign 'No Smoking'. & most of the students there were Malays. Before this when I registering online for the subjects I was taking, I found that till that time there were only 2 person taking the Diploma in Network & Mobile Technology. After registering, at home I was thinking do I really want to study this subject? Just listen the name of the course, Network & Mobile Technology, the main job that I can find in the future would be in the Telco companies such as Digi & Maxis. Such limited job opportunity so I think this isn't the right course I want. If that week I had already resigned from KFC, I might have more time to think more about this course. Since I don't like this college so my dad advised me better withdraw from it before I regret there & we haven't paid any fees yet, just the RM50 registration fees but I got a free phone! And that's how I ended up here. So let's go back to my topic.
The headstart program in Nilai UC is for us to get used to the college life, because college life is totally different from secondary school life. On the first day of this headstart program, there were about a total of 57 students attended. Most of us are taking foundation course, only a small minority are taking diploma & degree, which are the foreigners, the others are all locals but from many different states. Before we started our class that day, we were to introduced ourselve to the person on our sides. I introduced to this guy, Isaac, & I told him I was from Semenyih, but he doesn't know where it is, so I said next to Kajang, then he nodded, but I think he had many question marks above his head. After that I realised that I am now in Nilai, it's in Negeri Sembilan, not Selangor, that's why people don't know where it is that place. So the next time I introduce myself I said I was from Selangor, then people understand. haha...
The first day of class was a bit quiet because we doesn't know anyone there. So this headstart program mostly emphasize on team work. This is not just to get used to each other, but also to train us how to apply team work in the future, I mean during college life because many assignments & presentations need team work. So overall, the first day of class was a boring one. It ended in 6pm & my dad fetched me back.
The second day of class still a bit quiet. Today we got our ID card for internet surfing & to enter library. During our break time, I had my first meal in this college. I ate with my new friend. After that I went to look at the library, which is 1600 metre square area. It was so big! But every books we borrow are cost 50sen per day, & it's only for 2 weeks.
In class while waiting for the next lecturer to come, I talked to my friend next to me & that was how I knew we can stay in the hostel provided for free for this two weeks headstart program. Immediately I went to the accomodation office to apply for a room & immediately I got a key. After class dismissed, while waiting for my dad to fetch me back, I went to see my premium twin apartment. My roommate is also having the same headstart program I'm taking & he's an Indian & he's a STPM leavers. Because his result was bad that's why he had no choice but to study foundation. After looking at my room, I had my dinner at the canteen. I had Kuey Teow there & it was quite nice.
The third day of this program I arrived here at 7.30am with all my luggages. I went into my room & my roommate, Rajan was still sleeping (of course la who would be awake at 7.30am). My class started at 9am today. We had tour around Nilai town this afternoon after our lunch. After the tour I felt a bit headache because of the heat of the sun. At evening we made a lot of laughs during our drama, dancing & singing class, which was the last class of the day. After that I went to eat. After bathing I went to the library which has free internet access using their computers, which is where I am now.
I had to finish this blog fast because it's now 9.33pm & the library will close at 9.30pm. I hope tonight, which is the first night in campus will be a good night for me. Good Luck! & goodnight!
