Five years has quickly gone by even though sometimes it felt like forever. The day I arrived at UiTM Shah Alam for orientation week is still fresh in my memory. The sound. The sight. The confusion. The what-the-hell-is-going-on feel. The day I stepped into the faculty still lingers around me.
Finals are looming. The first paper has passed last Tuesday and still, 3 more to go. On 15th May, project paper presentation is scheduled in my diary. After that, all ties with UiTM will be cut off. In short, I’ll graduate by the end of May. I’m happy but sad at the same time.
I still remember how scared I was of the program. Credit goes to En. Md Said. He said, “Those who did not choose Actuarial Science as their first choice won’t be able to go through this program with much success.” I cried in my room that night, wishing I could just go home. Then when classes commenced, I was determine to prove him wrong. That was during Diploma years and I graduated 3rd in class. The Degree program is way much harder but I’m surviving through it all.
En. Nazrul said that his objectives with my batch are a failure. That was hard to hear. Still, I’m quite happy with myself because I had overcome something that I wanted to achieve. Dreams and Reality are two different things. At least, I have succeeded in one.
Two years has passed since I joined the younger set of classmates. Honestly, I didn’t like them that much at the beginning and I felt insecure. They had been put on a pedestal by the lecturers that I thought I could never climb. Turns out, they’re actually not that bad once you get to know them. I love every one of them, if not as much as I do my Diploma classmates, at least a little.
To my classmates, thanks so much for all the things that we’ve been through the last 2 years. Three words; We’ve made it! I do hope we’ll stay in touch. I know Yuni will =P
To my lecturers, I know I sometimes disappoint you but I am grateful that you’ve been around to support all of us.
To all my non-actuarial friends, it’s a blast knowing you guys. I hope you do well and keep in touch ok?
This is how I’m feeling now, we’ll see if it changes on the 15th ok?

FYI …
En Mad, Pn Azizah, En Hanafi, Ms Noraini even Pn Marketing *cannot remember her name lorhh* … basically almost all the lecturers said “korg bdk2 matriks mmg x leh compete dgn students dip. Diorg dh ader basic and all. Sure nnt korg terkejut bila tgk kehandalan diorg …”
We were scared shitless … Then the merging took place in sem4. Yup, they were right! Korg mmg terer … and BEST!!! Hee ~~~~ I think my best year in UiTM is when we *as in kanak2 matriks* became friends with you guys *as in dip students* …. Long Live CS222!!!!!
