January Intake 11 January 2009

Although it happens again, and again every semester…I still look forward to it. The Registration of New Students at Politeknik Johor Bahru. And yes, I can witness right from my balcony! One of the reasons is after more than 1 month the hostels have been empty….quiet......I miss having the students around....(I think...)

8 am.... Hostels registration area

The bus for tranporting the students and families from the parking lot to the registration area..

The "must-haves"...

Err..they even sell it here?

Parents, relatives, siblings sending off their loved ones for a better future and these students should consider themselves lucky. There are many out there who would do anything to further their studies but have been denied the opportunity. Students and parents with luggage, ‘baldi’ etc ..you know the kind of things we bring along on our first day away from our family! I remember my mom, insist on the bedsheet that she had washed and folded nicely so that her darling daughter could sleep in peace! Oh yeah, plus the rendang kering, sambal tumis kering ..the kinds of dish that can last for at least a week’s ration. As if there weren’t any food resources around…hehehe…Love you mum…!

The wardens at work............

Oh yes, the induction week. Since our ‘neighbours’ are among the female students of Infotech 2, the new students must endure a one week physically-drained induction. And.....the 4 am wake up call! The Student Committee will use the speaker and scream at the same time “ANDA DIKEHENDAKI TURUN SEKARANG!!!!”…Yup, anything that ‘interfere’ with my deep zzzzzzzzzzzzz…is very annoying!! …(haha!)

Oh, well…I guess that’s something not everyone could experience over and over again…LUCKY ME????

Lost...

Smiling for the camera...?

A quote from my husband “Sekarang nampak innocent je...nantilah 2, 3 bulan...macam-macam hal!

Enjoy the pics!
