First Day of Year 1 Semester 2 (21/8/17)

  After a month's break, it's time to hit the books and head back to university for a whole new semester. Along the way to Sunway University, I'm super excited to head back to campus because I can't wait to see my course mates. Every new semester, only lectures are conducted in the first week. While waiting for the rest of the class to arrive for the first lecture of the second semester, I take out my iPad to watch yesterday's Evening Edition on their official Facebook page.

 At 7.53am, our Graphic Communication lecturer, Mr. Lyon Laxman has arrived. I put all the gadgets away except the iPad and iPod because I use it for lecture slides and self-attendance respectively. The lecture ends at 9.45am, the first lecture of the day has concluded. Kaz drops me off at the university foyer and he heads off with his friends for lunch.

 I have nothing to do so I just sit there and observe the students' behavior, just pick up the good traits. It's also a good thing to evaluate yourself as a person. So the next time when you are alone, slow down in your steps and take time to observe the things around you because observation is the best communication.

  My first day of university also coincides with the Pre-U August intake orientation. I see a couple of students leading a new batch of college freshmen on a campus tour. I have a lunch with my ex-college mate and best friend, Joni at 11am.

Since it's half an hour, I guess singing a song or two will do the trick. With my earphones plugged on, I log on to a karaoke app. While I'm singing, I glance up every minute or two so that no one is giving me weird looks. At 11am, Joni and I walk over to After Black for lunch and catch up what are we doing these days. After lunch we head over to Family Mart.

 I thought Family Mart is a big stall, turns out to be a mini market but have a wide variety of snacks such as dim sum, sandwiches and sushi just to name a few. As this is my first time to Family Mart, I don't know which snack to choose. Joni recommends me to try the ice cream as it is the most popular among the students. I have cheesecake ice cream. It's delicious! Matcha flavored ice cream is the most favoured by the customers. One last bite, it's time for me to head back to campus and Joni back to Monash University Malaysia for her class.

  Wow, what an adventure on the first day of the new semester! There's still more to come
