It's time to spread my wings

Hello, blog. Long time no see!

I miss blogging so much. Throughout my college studies, I used blogger twice for my assignments. One was for Critical Literacy back in semester 4 and another one was for my DNMC subject in semester 5 which was last year. I am currently in my semester 6. For your information, I have finished my 3 months of Industrial Training, alhamdulillah! What a journey, fuh! I have expressed everything about it in my Industrial Training report which I did submit to my academic supervisor, last Monday on the April 18th. I went to Kuantan that day, started off from home at about 6AM, right after subh. Alhamdulillah, report has been successfully submitted! The internship journey was one heck of a roller coaster ride. Full of ups and downs! Who knew working life would be so tough? Well, for a person who has never worked before, I think working life is super hard and full of challenges and unexpected circumstances.

I am on my break right now, waiting for graduation inshaAllah, around September or October, who knows? It's crazy to think about how time flew so quickly. Flashback to early 2013, when I submitted my application to KPM. I remembered not having any university placement back then. Bummer! Well, I did terrible in my SPM. I have to admit that I was lazy, then. I was glad to get into KPM as it is a very affordable institute. No joke! You get allowance of RM 300 every month and the entry fees is super affordable, that is an undeniable fact. Going back to present time, I am happy to say I have successfully finished my studies in Diploma in English Communication in KPM Indera Mahkota, Kuantan. Tears and sweat poured much throughout my 3 year of studies. I went mental in the last semesters. I still remember clearly when I was very stressed out because of friends and misunderstandings. It was just horrible. I couldn't handle the tense. In terms of workload, I didn't really have much issues. But when it comes to people with feelings and perceptions, that's tough, that's real deal. Nonetheless, I figured it was best for me to quit KPM back then, in semester 3. But, I pulled myself together, alhamdulillah I continued my journey. It was truly insane thinking back at that time. I almost quit, you guys. If I quit, I wouldn't be able to graduate this year. That is so sad. Don't ever give up okay kids? It's just horrible. Just stay strong and give your full effort until the very last drop of your blood and tears.

Moving on to the most frequently asked question which is to further studies or not to further studies after this? That is something that is always in my consideration. But, I have not decided yet due to several reasons. As I said earlier, I went mental throughout my studies. Indeed it was true. Every semester, I had issues, be it with friends or tasks. I am not sure if I am ready to experience all that, again. I need time to think and rethink about the pros and cons of me getting myself into studies life again. It is a big deal for me as I do have emotional problems, every now and then. So, to further studies or not, is in my consideration but I need a break, right now. Mental break, for sure. But, no worries, I am always going to learn. Everyday is a learning process and I shall never quit learning. I love learning. I am such a nerd. I am a focused student because I am devoted to my studies. But, nonetheless, it is just not the time for me to further studies yet. Hopefully, I will have a clear and rational decision about this thing, soon. Truly, I am sometimes feel like furthering studies as soon as possible because I just love gaining new knowledge! Perhaps, shockingly I would further my studies in other fields and not communication or English. Perhaps. But who knows? I am just praying for the best and I leave everything to Allah. I believe He has the best plans. 

I am keen to work. I have submitted my resumes to several companies, by hand and via JobStreet. I hope I will get a job soon, as soon as May if possible 'cause I really need to work. I need to gain experiences. I was a full-time student back then. During studies, I was all about books, assignments and getting things done. I was too focused on studies because I am a slow learner. I had to double my effort in lessons and everything studies-related. It was tough for me. I am not a genius. If I don't study or revise lessons, I am able to fail, easily. That clearly justifies the fact that I am not a genius, at all. Studies life was super difficult especially for slow learners like me. I had to be as resourceful as possible. During studies, I would seek for information through various mediums like books, reference books, researches, journals, lecturers, friends and seniors. In class, I was never a quiet student. I would ask so many questions to lecturers as to be crystal clear about the lessons. I put shame behind, collect all the guts I have and just ask! I will not be satisfied if my curiosities are not being fulfilled. 

Overall, I had so much experiences throughout my studies life that I will cherish my whole life inshaAllah. I wish my friends all the best in life. As for me, I hope I will get a job, soon.
