My Journey Starts Here! =)

Hello, semua!

Dah lama tak update blog yang sunyi ni. So basically hari ni nak share pasal my new journey which is I'm officially a mahasiswi! Hehehehe .. Feel free to guess my age =P

Baiklah. Nat fresh grad SPM xD How young is that? hihihi
My main intention to make an entry on this is so that the others yang tengah buat self-research(like I used to) on tempat-tempat nak sambung belajar lepas SPM.

First, I did apply UPU and thank God, Nat terpilih untuk masuk UA tapi sayangnya bukan kursus yang diminati. Jadi, Nat pun tolak supaya tak da la macam rampas peluang orang lain kan? =)

Second, Nat ada apply gak kat US(univ. swasta) yang memang Nat target dari zaman sekolah menengah lagi. Once again, thank God sebab dapat jawapan from my applications. Nat shortlisted universiti-universiti yang memang ada recognition from MQA and yang ada tawar kursus-kursus yang based on health science. At this point of time, please do a lotttttttt of self-research sebab tak nak la nanti menyesal kalau salah pilih uni and stuffs like that. Yang dapat dielakkan, kita elaklah =)

So, teka Nat pilih uni mana? Hehehehe

Nat pilih...

Management and Science University (MSU) Shah Alam =D
Course: Foundation in Medical Science (FMS)

Management & Science University, Shah Alam

Dalam bm, dipanggil Asasi Sains Perubatan/Hayat. Dengan ambil keputusan ni, Nat terpaksa tinggalkan keluarga. Terpisah dek Laut China Selatan, lebih 3000km dari hometown. Huhuhu but take it positively =) Dalam hidup memang perlukan pengorbanan. Be strong, ok? Hidup berjauhan dari family ni, hati kena sado tau? Hehehe

*********************************************************************************

Sebelum berlepas ke SA, Nat dah prepare siap2 dokumen yang diperlukan masa pendaftaran. Jangan risau, kaunselor akan guide you guys on apa yang perlu dibawa masa registration day. Even pasal accommodation pun diorang boleh arrange if you want to stay under agent campus la. For Nat, Nat cari agent luar and so far, sangat puas hati dengan rumah, bilik and kemudahan yang sangattttt selesa! =) Sama jugak dengan time pilih uni, cari rumah ni pun kena buat banyakkkkk self-research. Especially on location, kedai2 sekeliling ada ke tak, kedai makan senang access tak, marts, dekat dengan kampus ke tak, semua ni kena ambil kira ok? Nat settlekan accommodation on my own, which is long distance punya dealing la kan. Bila sampai SA, Nat contact agent and Nat from KLIA terus pegi rumah untuk check in, hantar barang, semua. Btw, Nat tinggal kat condo dua tingkat. Arte Subang West yang dekat dengan kampus. Boleh Google sendiri la ekk macam mana rupa rumahnya. Yang pasti, Nat selesa. Bila kat rumah ni, Nat tak rasa sangat homesick sebab rumah sini dengan rumah Nat sendiri, kelengkapan dia lebih kurang je. I mean all the basic necessities/ware tu provided.

Settle pasal rumah xD

Pasal course pula which is Foundation/Asasi. Asasi ni program setahun sebelum lompat masuk ijazah(Bachelor/Degree). Asasi ni kira macam fast-track la if compared to Diploma which is 2 and a half year to 3 years. Fast-track pun fast-track jugak, belajar tu kena fast gak lah. Hahahaha Kalau jenis yang so-so macam Nat, Nat tak recommend sangatlah ambil Asasi sebab nanti kena struggle lebih dari orang lain. Tapi kena ingat ... Always believe that you can! Semangat kena kuat. Hati kena extra sado dalam menuntut ilmu. SPM sedang-sedang je tak semestinya kat uni tak leh tackle kann? Kena rajin. Put on efforts. Jangan lupa doa <3 Doa tu penting ;)

For qualification, ia terbahagi kepada dua.
First, untuk yang nak sambung program macam Medicine(MBBS) and Pharmacy(BPH). For these programs, you need to score at least 5Bs(bio, phy, chem, maths/addmaths + 1 other subj) in your SPM. But make sure your total pointer for foundation nanti pun kena qualified la untuk masuk Bachelor.

Second, untuk yang nak sambung program macam Biomedical Science, Medical Science, Forensic Science, Bioinformatics, dan lain-lain program sains yang berkaitan dengan FMS. For this, you need to have 5credits(bio, phy, chem, maths/addmaths + 1 other subj) in your SPM. Make sure pointer Foundation nanti lepas untuk masuk Bachelor.

What I mean here is that tak semestinya dah lepas masuk Asasi then you boleh main-main sebab altho dia dikira sebagai fast-track, untuk bachelor nanti tetap ada qualification untuk program masing-masing. So, teruskan berjuang! Hihihi

Antara subjek yang akan dipelajari masa FMS;
Bio, Chem 1, Chem 2, Physics, Health Sc, Anatomy, Basic Genetics, 2 soft skills subj, English, Maths 1 & 2 (ini kakak2 addmaths sebenarnya), Co curriculum 1 & 2, Moral Education, Malaysian Studies, and some more yang Nat tak ingat. But for sure tak sampai 20 subjek. Almost 20 tapi tak sampai 20, you know what i mean? xD

Semua ni kena settlekan(with good pointers) dalam tempoh satu tahun so brace yourself! =D

Belajar dalam kelas memang cepat tapi jangan risau, your lecturers are there to assist you. Lecturers Nat semua best-best. Tak faham? Inform miss/madam/sir. Diorang akan explain balik supaya you guys tak tertinggal. Kalau segan nak angkat tangan during class, please see them after class or kalau kawan-kawan lain faham, minta diorang ajarkan. Asasi belajarnya memang cepat. Ada subjek yang1 minggu 1 bab kalau long sem. Kalau short sem lagi la merana sbb short sem ada 8 minggu je. Nak masukkan assignments, quiz, tests, tuto, self-study, memang nangis kalau tak kuat semangat xD

Once again, hati kena sado.

Did I scared you? I hope not. MSU banyak activities outdoor so don't worry. You won't be fermented in the classroom all day although class memang average from 8am-6pm xD Lecturers mostly best-best. Your presentations tak semestinya forever in slides form, kadang2 you guys akan diminta untuk organize activities or games or fundraising so it won't be like those mainstream formal presentations. For mentor mentee, jangan terkezut kalau the activities include going to cinemas, bowling, badminton, rock climbing and stuffs like that which I called as 'off-campus' activities. Yes, sometimes you guys will get the chance to visit other states for assignment purposes. Sambil menyelam minum air la ye dok? Habis kerja kita jalan laa kann 😋Not to mention about you'd get the chance to meet local celebrities yang shoot drama kat kampus =D

Trip to Malacca for Assignment Purposes

AEON mall yang only like less than 10-minutes walk from campus + Tesco yang located betul2 depan campus. Sekeliling ada banyak kedai, kedai makan, and even stalls tepi-tepi jalan. Best tak? xD

This entry is not a paid entry but is just my part of sharing on my journey of being a university student. This is my 6th week of semester 2 in foundation. Wahh pejam celik pejam celik tinggal 1 sem setengah je lagi =)

Btw ... Nat akan share gambar sikit which was taken from my Instagram =P

Gambar ni view dari main entrance MSU
Tapak ni dipanggil U-Globe sbb kat lantai tu ada sketch of peta dunia👍

Gambar ni masa event #FuyooMSU
Meriah gilosss seriousss

Ni gambar masa orientasi. Yes, merah itu warna MSU ✌

Maaf sebab Nat cakap banyak. It's such a longggg entry. Feel free to ask me anything pasal FMS. I'll try my best to answer. Boleh DM kat IG jugak xD

See you next time, bye! <3 <3
