The start versus the end of semester 1

The first day when i step my foot on Kolej Universiti Poly-Tech Mara, I was a bit concerned  about the environment and the teaching value of the college. That's the feeling I had when I enter the college. Now, after staying here for almost 4 months , I am now comfortable with the environment of the college. Boy, it was a different feeling compared to the early semester. Now, the final exam is just around the corner. Let me take this opportunity to share my story and experience during my stay in this first very semester. What have I  done in the last four months?

During the early days of my first semester, I was a bit shy when my first night at the college dorm. It was located at Sri Pandan Condominium near Hospital Ampang. I was encountered by a guy who turns out to be my roommate. He's from Penang. He is nice but a bit confusing to understand him due to his weird slangs that I find quite hard to understand but as time goes on, I can fully understand him. Although I could understand him, I laughed because of his voice. He is the first guy that I met and befriended him but compared to my other housemate, some a bit shy, arrogant, annoying and sometimes weird of all of sudden. That faithful night, we started to know each other so that we get to know better. After that jazz, my housemate still feel a bit like that. Well that's my housemate. Now, my classmate, they're same goes to my housemate's from top to bottom but in the long run our relationship and friendship remain close until this day. Even there's the uncertain type of people that i don't like in social circles but i still remain friends with them. 

The sad news is that the closer the end of the semester , the more of my friends are leaving to study else where. Most of them got Politeknik and Uitm. Its actually a good news for them to study at government institution but at the same time is sad for all of us because they are leaving us for the sake of their studies. The friends that i have during the semester now their are leaving us and is not even final yet. The feeling of losing your friends is hard and painful because the things we do together and spend time together. The things we do now will now be our cherish moment together and remember it until we die. We make a promise for those who are leaving that we will meet again one day and never lose contact with each other. Friends until the end. We wish them good luck on their studies and the coming future.

Lastly, i have great time studying here not just to seek education but also meeting new people and making new friendship along the way.
