I remembered the day i reached Penang on 5th September 2011. It was a very tiring day. Like almost a whole day journey from Sibu to KL then KL to Penang again. Plus, i had brought a lot of things with me. 2 big luggage, 1 small bag and a backpack. They were heavy, but luckily i didn't get charged for the slight overweight of my check-in luggage. Upon reached Penang airport, USM ppsl fetched me together with few other students from Sabah. Some unpleasant misunderstanding happens, but i rather kept that to myself..
When i reached USM, i was placed in a temporary hostel. I shared the room with another first-year student from Sibu. At that time, i didn't have the necessary toiletries like soap, shampoo, toothpaste etc..and i was wondering how am i going to take bath since the hostel mini-shop had closed. Thanks to Aileen (my temporary room mate from Sibu) for her kindness, that she lend me all those necessary things, that i didn't have to spent the night with all those sweats and sticky-ness. Thanks her a lot!
The next day, we went for the registration, and i had to move all my bags to my room at the 3rd floor myself. (another tiring day!) I cleaned the room while waiting for my room mate to come. After some time, finally my room mate and her family reached. Hui Xuan (not actual spelling) is her name and her family members were all so friendly. :)
That night, our orientation officially started. As what i had said before, the whole orientation week was so-so with all those talks and briefings. Since we didn't really get enough sleep, we were so sleepy during the talks that we just ignore the person in the front and talks to each other to avoid sleepiness. But, some time, we do accidentally if not purposely dozed off. ZZzzzzz.....
DTSP where most talks and briefings were conducted
All with sleepy face due to the boring talks... :P
The only activity that i like during the week was Walkrobic. In this activity, we marched according to our desasiswa to the school stadium. At there we had a FUN aerobic exercise lead by a super duper sporting lecturer. However, the aerobic session was so short because of not time constraint. I just can't get enough of it. The aerobic was very fun and i enjoyed it very much! Anyway there were desasiswa slogan and motto competition. Saujana, my desasiswa won for the slogan competition. If im not mistaken lah.. hehehe...
Walkrobic... Shout! Shout! 1 Saujana!
Some inefficiency in the arrangement of the schedule during the orientation week (my own opinion) made most of the student confused and most of us get the misleading infos that we had to go through all the troubles of dropping some subjects and co-curricular activities the first day the school reopen after we had register for them during the orientation week. As for my case, i had to drop English and take a co-curricular activity, in which i chose Karate. lol. :P
I still remember the busy day that my friend and i had to go to different place to drop English, register co-co, check for class time-table etc. It was a hot day and we all were like tired and all sweaty with all those travellings. Buses were there but lots of walking also had to be done. huhu..
The orientation, ended on Sunday. I was so relieved that it's over as i can get more rest and having more time for myself after this.
But, who knows, that our school orientation started on the week after the university orientation week. So, we, the students of School of Pharmacy was having two consecutive week of orientation. However, so far, the school orientation was fun. Will write about this later in another entry.
Well, it's already late right now. Guess i have to stop here. Closing ceremony for school orientation in 6 hours time! :D
