Updates on uni

It's been some time (again!) i didn't update this blog. Sorry! to whoever who're still reading this. Anyway, i'm going to update about my life here in UPSI. It's been like what, 4 weeks, im here but it feels like i've been here for months! I find this place pretty comfortable. Love the views here especially from my college (which means hostel). I can view the mountains (might not be a big deal to you though)! =P

Anyways, as you know (or don't), i'm taking TESL which is Teaching English as Second Language. There're a total of 3 groups and i'm placed in the third group. =) Well, assignments are currently flooding in and due dates are approaching. Tests are coming too in one or two weeks time and i'm not really prepared yet. Lol. Had been lazing around for the first few weeks. Probably the constant travel between Tg. Malim and Kajang every weekend makes me slower in progress on those assignments! This weekend is my first weekend of not going back and i find that i suddenly have a lot of time! Thus, i guess i'll only be going back every fortnight.

Staying back during the weekends is rather interesting because i get to visit the churches here. I went to 2 churches in these 2 days. One is a Chinese Methodist church where all of them are UPSI students and another one is Grace AOG which has English service. Planning to visit another Tamil church on the next weekend im here. They have English service though i think they sing worship songs in Tamil! Well, just check it out? =) Also recently i got to know there IS a CF in uni! Gonna check out also in this coming Friday. Lol. Heard that they're mainly consist of Sabah-ans and Sarawakians. So they use Malay in the meetings. Interesting!

Anyway, i joined the English Debate club. Just went for one meeting only though but i find it pretty interesting. I'm not good in debating but i find the meeting will help me to think more like a debater, which is good! However, almost all my friends are thinking of quitting soon! Well, shall see whether to join further. I'm also joining the Chinese Club and they have this Dance Class every Wednesday. Its really fun to see everyone dance though we don't really know how. xD Another thing i regretted not knowing earlier is about the Pancaragam! I didn't know we can join or can only join in our first semester and drop the Kokurikulum course that has been automatically registered for us! If i'd known earlier, i'd have known another musical instrument, like FLUTE or TRUMPET or TROMBONE or etc! Wasted D:

Celebrated my first birthday here in UPSI on Thursday. Went to KFC and Blue Gardens for the first time. Well, some of the friends here bought a cake for me, which was a surprise, considering that Secret Recipe is quite a distant and the packed schedule on that day. Truly enjoyed my 20th birthday! :))
Have met some good friends here along the way and am really grateful about it. Shall see where God leads me in this place. I'll update more frequently! Promise :D
