Prepare for the worst!
Huh I couldn’t believe 3 months have just passed in accelerated way. Prior 3 months, I spent most of my time hanging out with my books and notes not to forget my friends. And now, I guess it will be started again, more homeworks and assignments will be mounting on study desk in very near soon. My old life will be reloaded again with my hostel live that I’ve experienced before- wake up early, ironing and washing own cloths (but most of the time I sent it to my home), skipping breakfast and sleepless. Perhaps, it will be slightly different in Pre-U where no more prep time and silent hour! For those who are not familiar with those terms, I would suggest you to take a little time to read this post.
Owing to my experiences, first week will be kinda frustrating and home-sick. It may probably because of the orientation week and some seniors who are loved to prank junior (Well, I have did it before to my juniors). So normally, in this case try not to impress your senior by showing up your talents or anything, just did as what they said in precise. Ending up by fighting is not the solution; do show some respect to senior by acknowledge what ever they do. I guess when it comes to talking about home-sick; no one knows more about it than me and my friends at hostel probably. Home-sick is a kinda feeling that we are always bound to it whenever we are away from home. I admitting myself I’m quite home-sick during my few weeks at hostel, but it didn’t happen for a long time. Instead, after spent a lot of time living together with my mates we all get on sharing same hobbies, meals, problems, games, room, and restroom. I quite believe share same routines with friends will keep you away from downpour. Or maybe some of your family pictures could drive out your misery.
For those who are doing fussy in foods, you might not runaway from deserving jacket fish offered by Dining Hall! You may find out it delicious for the first time, but when they did it again and again, you’ll probably find yourself wearing a yellow jacket same like as the fish. In this case, I couldn’t suggest you how to take it over. Just eat the fish sajalah. Whenever I’m talking about foods, there is some other alternative that you could find to meet your appetite which is cooking Maggie. But, the bad news is Maggie is not good for health, report says.
Now the big thing that I always wanted to share is a ghost story. It is okay to hear some interesting story about ghost, but when it comes to a real one, you might find out it is horrific and scary. You’ll probably do not want to stare at windows again or stay up till 3 in the morning once you read my own experienced. I had encountered such creature which I believed was pontianak when I’m about to heading back into my dorm, when suddenly that night my dorm became so windy and smells pleasant. However, I didn’t take care so much about it, and then a white dress flew right in front of me in all of sudden. I just could not believe I saw someone like human flying across the window until I realized it was a real pontianak! The next day, I was sick and gave MC by my warden. Starting from that moment, I not dare study until dawn unless I got company. By the way, after writing this post I feel that I missed every moment that I had in the hostel not long ago. I missed so much my friends, teachers, juniors, my “abang” title, ikan jaket, prep time, silent hour, hantu, my class, restroom, dorm, school’s landscape, minum petang, dining hall, basketball court, the Kinabalu Mount view from Aspura, Aspuri, Canteen, Ko-Op, Server room, Labs, Documentation room, Bilik Gerakan Pelajar and Warden, Morning and late night assembly, DSK, Balai Hinggap, PC at school, my desk, my chair, textbook, my bed, locker, the surau, my loved ones and everything. All what I can say is life is short and life is not perfect as we all know it but even in darkness there will be light of day.
