记得小时候，每次老师要我们写作文 “我的志愿” ，我第一时间就会想到要当医生！我想当医生因为那时觉得医生很有型。。。带眼眶，皮肤白白，穿医袍，一口流利的英文。哗！真帅。。。

现在，人已大了。做得成医生吗？当然任务失败了。。。感觉有点惭愧。没好好读书。考试又考不好。。。唉，真失败。。。

但再想多一次，当医生有什么好呢？难道当其它职业不好吗？难道，一定要当医生吗？。。。在想一下，现在没当医生的我过得也不错。

没当医生的我，拥有一个很快乐，温暖的家。和父母妹妹的关系也很好。

没当医生的我，有一个很爱我的女朋友。她很疼我，很照顾我。我很幸福。

没当医生的我，当了一名graphic designer 。。。

没当医生的我，也当了一名补习老师。。。

没当医生的我，还活着。。。活的很好，很快乐，很幸福，很自由，很自在。。。

没当医生的我，觉得没当医生的你也和我一样。。。活的比我更精彩！

Have been thinking back my life in Uni. Well, it’s been a hectic and busy Uni life back then. I started to join extra curricular activities since Sem 1. Actually, before I join UUM, I had made a promise to myself. I wanted to become well-known in UUM. I came out with this idea because I was offered this Uni although I didn’t apply it. I know my STPM results were bad. So, I entered this Uni although it was a very sudden decision. Furthermore I was not into multimedia at that time.

Ok, back to my Uni life, my first project was being a team leader in a project called R2K in A****C. I was offered this position by my room mate who was at that time a senior. He wanted to resign from the project so that he could focus on his other activities. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. Why did he choose me? Maybe it’s because I was the best ‘victim’ for him at that time. But anyway, I thought about it for a few days, and I was like… this is the best chance for me to explore the new environment. So, finally I agreed and attended my first meeting of the project. I got to know a few new friends. But the best and closest of all was Felicia. She’s a great and out-going person. She came to me and helped me a lot. Giving me support and listened to my problems. Soon, I got bored of this project because it was not moving fast. Everything seemed slow but the due date was coming nearer and nearer! I just got impatient and I released myself from this project but not totally. Well, at least I helped the group of people in the project to book a bus!

At this point of time, I could see that these people are different. They work as a team and cooperated well… but not among all! It’s just between the few of them. It’s not teamwork and it’s a total disaster. But I kept quiet. I know this is not for me. I have a lot of friends who joined this society and always asking me to join their meetings and such… I was like… “NO THANKS!”

Well, in my second sem, I saw a poster asking for students who are interested to be an ad-hoc for Siti Nurhaliza’s concert in UUM. I was like… Wow! Siti’s coming! I just went for the interview and got to be one of them. It was a bit weird because I was the only non-Malay member. But I didn’t mind. I went for the meetings and activities. BUT the worst part was that their meetings will always start half to one hour later than the mentioned time. It’s strange but normal here, I guess. It’s not really fun for the pre-production of this concert. But the best part was that I got to be the documentation ad-hoc who can take photographs of Siti during her concert. I just sat myself behind the VC’s sofa and snap photos of Siti. That was the best experience in this project, got to see Siti close. But of course I was not really keen to the rest of the project. In this project, I got to learn about time management and respecting other people no matter how small their roles are.

In my third sem, it started slow. I became an OC for NLDS of A****C again. The project was a grand event, but I was the only male OC then. The rest were girls. I became the logistics and F&B manager. It was fun working with the girls this time. They were all cooperative and in this project, I got to know Eng Fong who is a very kind girl and we became close friends. The problems that arose were no water supply, bad division of food and fast month for the Muslims. The rest was ok. This was the last project I got attached with A****C.

Besides being the OC, I joined AJKS who helped the freshies who came to UUM during their orientation week. The juniors always think that I am the bad guy while my other friend, Chee Seng is the good one. I’ve got used to this situation and didn’t mind it. I know they were wrong and I know who I am. So, I didn’t care about what others are saying. They get to know me better sooner or later. It was the greatest experience and I got to know my best pals here! Sarah, Niza, Saiful, Kalai and the rest of the gang. After AJKS, I was as busy as an ant! I’ve always got attached to activities held by the residential college committees (JPPK).

In my fourth sem, I got chosen to become one of the JPPK and became rather famous in the college. People know me as I got more exposure around the area and I’ve always liked the feeling. The best part of being JPPK was that the vice-principal called me personally to ask me to join the committee. It was a compliment I guess. In JPPK, I was involved in a lot of extra activities which brought me to another level of maturity and thinking. I found my own self and I know I’ve grown throughout.

In my fifth sem, I became an AJKS again for the second time and now even more people got to know me. But I slowed down a bit because I didn’t want to get involved in these kind of activities anymore because I know I have achieve what I was looking for since my first day in UUM. As a good memory and remembrance, I took a photo for a billboard of my college and my face will be there forever (at least for a few years). I am very proud of that.

My sixth sem was really a total freedom for myself. I enjoyed it and had my own sweet time for the whole sem! It was great. I have learnt a lot from UUM and YAB. I now know it was not a mistake to enter UUM. The nest step will be entering the working world. It will be a total chance in life. I hope I can survive out there. I know I will.
