Orientation Day for the freshmen!

Got up really early today, around 5o'clock... Cook instant noodles for breakfast... Urgh.. nothing better huh?
Departed from house around 6 o'clock, reached around 30 minutes later. The housing area around is really dark, no wonder a lot of robberies happens...

Saw seniors were having briefing for their duties during the orientation, all of them were wearing green color t-shirt, anti lynas riot ?? LOL!


They are very punctual, from the registration to the whole mass call ceremony, all of it are on time. Got a packet of stationery which consist of the orientation week schedule, pen, TARC thumb drive, TARC Student Handbook and lanyard. Then orange coloured T-shirt for the freshmen this year, and a blue colour back pack. 

The mass call is quite awkward because I really don't know who the hell is that person on my left and right... Then after so many months, finally I sing the national anthem again xDD In the early morning, only SAS and SOT students were called for mass call. After that, SAS students were transferred to sports complex for the briefing regarding our school and courses. 

I have to say that, the briefing from the Head of School of SAS was really long... The part of introducing lecturers and staffs were seriously boring... Early in the morning, there are a long list of names and number of faces for you to remember, believe me, is not a good feeling... 

After the long motivational and boring speech from Head of SAS, then speech from SAU.... OMG, why??!! Way too many speeches this morning! After that, we were transferred to respective lecture halls according to our course. Most of the SAS students came from Information System Engineering, Chaivat is one of it =.=! Engineers, engineers everywhere... Chaivat said out of 90 students, only 4 female student ! 

Seniors lead us to the lecture halls and we started our Get-to-know-you session. Basically is like a introduction of yourself to your course members. Found that, woah! So many students from other states! North to Kedah, South to Johor, East to Sabah Sarawak! But still, KLites dominate the course xDD From Ampang, Klang, Cheras, etc. Met few Kepong peeps too :) One of our senior, Isaac Chen also from Kepong. That was the time we know about our seniors, I just remembered few of their names only. Isaac, Shu Teng, Mico, Rosemary (haha, still remember Vincent Ross xD) and Desta.. 

I would say that they are really awesome people! Isaac is a really friendly, cheerful, sampat person, but little did I know, he is the top scorer for DCB! He got a CGPA of 3.99... Is a perfect score! Talked to him during the lunch break and he keep asking me not to stress up, just keep cool and it will be fine... Hope so.. 

Desta talked to me first, he looks alike Wei Han xDD When I first saw him, I thought, is this Wei Han's cousin or relatives?? He is a really nice guy too, very open, and very good in socialize with new people. He talked to many of us. 

Shu Teng is the pretty one *blush*~ I can imagine how many guys in DCB will fall for her :) She speaks mainly in Chinese, but she is the scary one. Not because of the personality, but the job she had done to us!! When we were asked to choose our course rep, assist course rep, treasurer and printing manager, no one volunteer themselves. She literally point to someone and ask that person to join the election! But she is indeed a very decent and petite girl. She is from Johor. 

Followed Mico for the campus tour, actually, I follow with Shu Teng but I can't find her after lunch break... 
Mico literally brought us from blocks to blocks, buildings to buildings! She is very helpful. I asked her loads and loads of questions, then she gave me a proper guidelines. From study, exam, co-cu, society, vehicle parking, etc... We were sweating like mad because the tour started after lunch break.. 

Didn't know much about Rosemary though, only know that she is a Sabahan.... 

During lunch break, I firstly followed Shu Teng's group, but when we reached canteen 1, I was the only guy there, so it was very very awkward. But thank God! Wayne called me and asked for lunch, so I joined Wayne, Phui Yan, Kobe, Chaivat for lunch in Marybrown. Wayne is taking Finance and Accounting, Phui Yan, Suet Keem and her friend Hyuni are taking International Business. I have no idea what Kobe took. Chaivat took the Information System Engineering... I said bye to them before the lunch was done because DCB was moving for the campus tour... 

After the tour, lecturer came in and gave us a briefing about general idea of studying DCB. By the way, we were combined with Food Science students too. The seniors asked us to make good friends with Food Science because in the early stage, we always had lectures with them. Dr. Ng, program supervisor for Advance Diploma was the one lectures us, but he will not have lectures with us in the future until Advance Diploma level. Ms. Chen will be teaching us for Physical Chemistry ! Heard from the seniors that she is a good lecturer. 

By that time, everyone was so tired after the campus tour, and it seems that I was the only one asking questions to Dr. Ng.. I am really looking forward to study Forensic Chemistry! But Dr.Ng said, we must have strong foundation of chemistry in order to pursue the other advance field in chemistry, so, we must understands fully in Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry! Fighting! 

After that section over, we practically were done with our Orientation Day! So we said bye bye to the seniors T.T I try to figure out way to go back to the main entrance, and kinda failed =.=! The campus is way too big to explore! It took me sometime to find the way... 

3 things I wanted to do. Vehicle pass, certification of documents, making of student ID. And none of it were done =.=!! Have to fill in a form for vehicle pass and prepare documents to submit... SAS office is not opened for certification of documents yet, need to wait for further announcement... If you want to make student ID today, have to wait till 6.30 pm at least, the queue is way too long! 

So, have to wait for the other day... Is a long and tiring day, but experience so much fun in the same time because of the seniors! Isaac even show us his own lab report, asked us NOT to follow SPM style, if not sure die die! You have to write introduction beforehand... WHAT?! Have to search for references in library... Mico told us that, most of the time, SAS student will not be able to join society because our time is very compact... Most of the time will be spending time in the library for resources... They even made a slideshows for us, kinda like a short video for us to see their life in DCB.. 

A lot of new faces... Have to make friend with them.... DCB1, please treat me good! 

Part of me wanted to continue to study DCB, another part of me wanted to go for PISMP... Will decide later on... 

By the way, just added Isaac and Desta on Facebook! They were kinda shocked that I manage to find them xDD Desta called me a professional stalker!
