Yeah, it has been already a year and 2 months that have been passed on since i met you guys in the MPH hall and B19 or B21(corrected) for the orientation day (hopefully my memory still serves me). Honestly speaking....that first day look like a nightmare for me initially because i knew that i was bring thrown into the unknown for the 1st time since entering primary school 12 years ago.
I also knew that i have to start all over again the idea of making friends with new people which i sort of abandoned it long time ago as i was with the same group of friends for my entire school career. Now, when i look back that day, i really felt stupid for making that comment because it was actually that moment another turning point of my life has started to evolve from there. I still can remember that 1st day as if it was yesterday ( i know it is cliche) because there were some moments i could recall from it which is Darren's vulgarity to one of the volunteers, Cheok trying to act out for Obama, Jess for being the most prominent one that day as she talked the most during that orientation session with Ms.Choong, Wee for having a purple hair, Akira for having a somehow Japanese name, Becky for having an English accent, the presence of 2 Carmen and Ka Mun which was confusing for me as i cant remember names very well which Jess knows clearly about it , etc.
But then i also knew at that moment, some of you thought that i was a Malay boy (a term Darren made) which i was expecting it. One of the examples is Hannah asking me whether i could eat pork....wth.... which was actually our 1st conversation with each other. As the days gone on.....i made many new friends with you people which certainly have different personalities compared to my Klang buddies. There are also some proud moments i had with you people such as the Moral video assignment which initially brought some tensions between Jess and me due to certain disagreements and someway or another we did brought the best presentation i have ever participated in the One Hour Break team which was a huge success as the video is being played again for the future batch of students as examples according to my juniors.
In addition to that, i also had fun during the trip to Penang as it was my 2nd trip with my friends since high school. Furthermore, i also had fun during the trip to the NPBK which brought a bit of a reality check in me whether i wanted to be a pharmacist or venture into something else. Next, the surprise birthday party which all of you made at the cafeteria was pretty touching for me...and i honestly did feel like crying when you all sang for me the happy birthday song at the Bio lab but i never reveal it. Not to forget, i also had many individual success over here which is all because of the dedication of the lecturers;
Ms.Goh
Well, you are probably one of the most patient lecturer around and it was pretty hard to catch up with the way you taught us on the first day last year and i can remember everybody gave an amusing look after one of your lessons at the start. However, we did managed ourselves to gel into it. Thank you so much for your lessons as it did brought the best out of me
Mr.Lucas
Hmmm...well what i have to say is....i did find sir as one of the most dedicated lecturer ever in my entire life (continuous tutorials and extra classes which was tough but cant blame it as we are in the Mac intake). However, the 1st day under you was pretty much intimidating as you kind off started off immediately with the way to score your Chem papers as i was like HUH. As the time when along, i guess you are the lecturer, we bonded much with which could be due to our age gap is not that far off. I did feel very touched when you kind off nearly cried after the class party and gifting us a cake. In the end, thank you so much for your lessons and hopefully we can still keep your record intact about the A's percentages and if possible the A* as well which you have been stressing out all this while
Mr. Vara
Well, sir, you are the most cheerful physics lecturer i have ever seen which is totally contrasting to the teacher i had in school which couldnt even teach 4 chapters of simple SPM syllabus in 2 years. I did find physics a wonderful subject under your guidance and i dont think i m the only person who thinks the same for example ( Chung Ren, Wee and Feli). You did made me feel physics a bit more simpler and made me mesmorize with the way you could recall all the years and origins of particular scientist and theories which is certainly mind boggling. Lastly, thank you so much for all your dedication in teaching us till we could understand the wonderful world of physics which i am still interested with.
Ms.Lourds
We have been with each other since Sem 3 and i do agree with Feli's thought regarding the gap which exists between us. Yet, you did taught us well in your classes which is definitely a different way of teaching compared to our previous Bio lecturer. I did find your teaching pretty much helpful because it kind off guide us into examination mode which is a good way to adapt the pressure answering the questions in the exam hall which can be daunting. Lastly, thank you much for spending all your effort in the class and with God's will...we hope we can ace the examinations
Ms.Esther
Thinking Skills was somehow a very interesting subject for me as it did made me think a hell lot to just answer some of those questions especially the IQ questions. I did feel a bit frustrated with the subject because my marks was always flunctuating up and down after every single test which is probably the same problem i had with everyone else. Yet again, we did delivered in the AS exams which certainly made you very proud with us even though we only had 8 months to get the proper understanding compared to the Jan intake students which had the 11 months in their belt. In a nutshell, i want to thank you so much for all your lessons which at times was strict but certainly worth it for us in incorporating some of the knowledge given in making certain decisions in our daily life.
Looks like it is the end of it.....so hopefully we can now.....put our heart and soul in giving the final push for the examination and may we all graduate this course by getting the fantastic results we are all hoping for!!!!!!!!!!!!!
