Of the last week of my foundation studies #1

Assalamualaikum!

It's pretty crazy how fast time is flying without us noticing, no? In a blink of an eye, it has been nearly a year since I'm in Kuantan. Since June last year till now, it has been 9 months. And that 9 months has gone by really really fast. And now, I'm in my last week of my foundation year. MashaAllah I just can't believe it! Everything is coming to an end, but I hope my friendship with the amazing people that I met here won't end. I hope it lasts forever, even though forever doesn't exist. 

Throughout semester 1, I made new friends, I learnt new things and experienced new challenges. Being a student in law foundation, I had to go through so many challenges and had to face them by myself. Even though I had my friends helping me along the way, in the end I only had myself to depend on. They are very helpful though, seriously. But I can't depend on them too much because I am the only who wants to learn, I am the one who wants to succeed. So I had to do this on my own. The assignments that I got during the first semester was tough, but I managed to get through them. I managed to complete them within the time given. Alhamdulillah the lecturers were very supportive, and were willing to help if I had any problems regarding that particular subject. 

During semester 1, I registered myself in two clubs; Global Islamic Art (GIA) and also Kelab Debat dan Orator. Up until now, I'm still in those two clubs, as a member. I don't have any position in GIA, but I hold the position for special task committee in Kelab Debat dan Orator. It is actually a combination of both debat and debate. I'm so passionate about debating. I love debate because I think it's easy and interesting. I'm nowhere near a pro in debate though. I'm still learning from those who are more experienced than I am. Even though I didn't manage to join any tournaments outside the campus, at least I've contributed something for the club. The club has held several meetings and trainings, to train "virgin" debaters to be better in debating. I love this club, though I'm not a pro. I hope during degree time, I would have the time to join such activities and clubs. 

I came here on the 8th of June last year. I had 12 housemates altogether in a house. Our house is at the 4th floor, on the last building. Including myself, there were 13 of us living under one roof. Within an instance, we became so close. In about couple weeks, we became close to each other. Even though some were still shy and quiet, but most of us had clicked to one another within that particular month. I had two of my housemates who were also my classmates, so we went to classes together every single day. But in July, one of my roommates from Terengganu, Su's schoolmate, got an offer in IPG Samarahan. Since that is her dream since highschool, she accepted the offer and left UiTM. We were sad and happy for her at the same time, but had to accept that the offer is the best for her. The luck was on her side. The rest of us continued being so close to each other until the end of the semester. We had lunch and dinner together, hung out together, and did a lot of things together. I am so thankful to be blessed with such good friends like them. Not until Uni life do I realise the value of friendship when I am far from my family. 

Unfortunately, nothing ever stays. Time changed, things changed, people also changed. "All good things come to an end".

To be continued....
