Tertiary Education

After I had taken STPM examination, I was successfully to be selected to enter University of Malaya located in Petaling Jaya, Selangor to further my studies. In this case, I was considered as lucky because not much Chinese student can enter local university in Malaysia. I intended to study computer science course offered by this university and this is my third selection while filling up the UPU application form. I went to my uncle's house and request him to give me opinions and advices in order to make the appropriate decision on courses that I should choose. My uncle had chosen some of the courses for me, such as computer science, engineering, architect and so on.

This was the first time I left my hometown and started to live independently in another city. I still can remembered the day when I was leaving my house, my mother was standing near the gate, waved her hand, said goodbye to me and asked me to take good care of myself while carrying my niece. I really felt sad for the leaving. My father and I took bus to Kuala Lumpur and my brother already book one hotel for us to stay over one night. The next day, he drove us to UM and I reported myself at the 11th residential college which already assigned to me.

Secondary School

After my 6 years primary school life, I went to another secondary school to continue my studies, which is Sekolah Menengah Tanah Putih, Kuantan. Many things happened there. I will try to recall some of the important things and post them here.

I started my Form 6 education in Sekolah Menengah Sultan Abu Bakar, Kuantan. For this one and a half year, some of my ex-schoolmate joined me for car pooling to go to school. I am the driver and need to go around picking them up. I took STPM on 1999 and get an average result to enter local university.

Every year, we will have gathering on the first day of Chinese New Year and take some photos at my friend's house. I do not know when it started to become our yearly routine activity. For guys, we will have gambling while the girls will enjoy chatting to each other. This is the only chance for me to meet some of them in hometown.

Primary School

After a year I spent my time in kindergarden, I was ready to start my standard 1 education at Sekolah Rendah Chung Ching, Kuantan which my brother & sister studied in. I couldn't forget that on one day, when I was playing with other classmates in the school hall during recess time, I fall down and make my uniform dirty. After that, teacher got a uniform for me to exchange in the classroom. Although I was a kid at that moment, I was so embarrass to change it behind other classmates while teacher was teaching in the class. Maybe because of this incident, I was categorized as a "naughty student" and need to transfer to new school when standard 2.

I was transferred by Ministry of Education to further studies in a new school named Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (C) Semambu, Kuantan. The first day, I don’t go to school because my uncle said he can help me not to transfer to the new school. After the second day, I had been told that I was not successful to continue studied at my previous school. Thus, my parents bring me to the new school and explore the new environment with me. At the early stage, my new school not yet finished development. Therefore we had to utilise temporary toilet which was built by wood.


This picture was took in 1991 before we all graduated from primary school. Now, you can make a guess where am I in this picture.


Took a photo during award day 1988. I attended it with mother and sister. My sister had a performance on stage and dancing too.

Kindergarten

I started my pre-school education in a kindergarten near my house when I was 6 years old. I almost forgot what I did there because it happened long time ago. However, I still could remember that the first day for me to go kindergarten, I was crying and didn’t want to go there. My mother tried to console and bring me in. Finally, I had no choice and had to attend my first class. At that time, I already started to play with the blackboard and chalks. In my mind, they are magical and interesting invention which need each other to function well. My main activities in kindergarten were learning numbers, studied simple Mandarin words and language, playing games in a group with other mates, coloring, break for tea time, etc. In conclusion, it was a fun and wonderful experience for myself to study in kindergarten.
