First Week In KMM
Hi there, peeps! I'm back from Kolej Matrikulasi Melaka (KMM) after a torturous week of orientation. (well, it's not that torturous, I'm just exaggerating.) You know, on the very first day of orientation week, everything was still seemed so unreal to me. I can't grasp the idea that I will be living on my own and there would be no more television or lying on my bed while reading books on my mobile. It wasn't until the second day that I suddenly felt homesick. Anyway, I'll get back on that later.
On the very first day, we went to KMM around 10 in the morning and the traffic was horrible. There were so~ many people there. Oh well, everyone from the whole peninsular Malaysia went there, so of course, there were thousands of people.
The registration process went kinda well. There wasn't any big trouble on the way. My family left me there around 3 in the evening. By the way, my dorm block is B4.2.13 which means block 4, floor 2 and room numbered 13. My room is at the end of the hall, next to the stair and in front of the stair is the bathroom. Very convenient.
In my room, I have three other roommates. Teha (from Negeri Sembilan), Nishali (from Banting) and Natasha or Shie (from Kelantan). All of them are superb. Teha is very smart, Nisha is a quite girl and Shie is very pretty. Me? I dunno where I belonged in that group. On my first day too, I blistered my BOTH of my ankles. Badly. Note to self: Never wear your shoes without the stoking.
On my second day, my ankles still hurt like a b***h. It hurts every time I tried to put on my shoes. Later, I used sport socks rather than the thin female stoking because it hurts too much. On my second day also, I kept getting choked at random times because I missed my family so much. Once, I almost cried when I was walking home from the cafeteria. It just came out of the blue.
On the third day, my HOMESICKNESS IS GONE! However, I would do just about anything to get some decent sleep. During orientation week, the programs ended at 12 midnight and I had to get up at 4.30 in the morning. Even at 4.30, the showers were packed with people. I had to wait in line to get into the shower. Then, I bought some band-aid and put it on the blisters on my ankles. It brought me a temporary relief but the conditions of my blisters became worse after that.
However though, there was this one funny incident on the morning of my third day.That morning, I left my dorm room and found a freaking monkey eating the leftover from the trash bins next to my room. I freaked the effing out. Then, the facilitator explained to us that it was a normal occurrence since we lived near the woods. After that, we, the whole B4 block occupants, were enlightened with the performance of love-making by those monkeys. Oooohhhhh yesss! WE SAW IT HAPPENED. All of us burst out laughing at that. It was Epic.
On the fourth day, I got homesick again. This time I choked up in tears when I read the rules and regulation of Malacca Matriculation which stated that the student cannot ask for overnight stay unless under important affairs such as family member's death. That simple rule made me almost cried a river in front of the strangers there. It reminded me that if anything bad EVER happened to my mum, I would drop everything I have in my life right now. That is how much she means to me. She is everything. My motivation. My hope. My reason to keep on living. Everything that I did until now, I did it for my mum. Only her. She is the rock and anchor for me to hold. She is everything even if I was frustrated a lot in the past before.
Now, I regret everything I said in my previous posts here. Truth-to-be-told, now that I think about it, I really don't want to leave this house, if I could, I wanna live here forever.
On the last day, Friday that was, we had a closing ceremony for the orientation week (or we called it Minggu Pengurusan Pelajar Baru (MPPB) week). It was an amazing ceremony! Even myself, who hates vigorous activities, LOVE IT. Although the whole week was tiring, but at the end, I really enjoyed myself in the orientation week.
Overall, I think the week was fantastic! At first, I was scared because I heard all sort of bad rumors about the facilitators. That they were beings to be scared of. But they were very kind to us, the juniors. In fact, it shocked me when they appeared to be very friendly. All of them were the best facilitators ever! I give you my respect.
That's all for now. I probably will release another post next week. So until then, bye.
