And so, a chapter closes.

My life in Kuching is coming to an end. What it has taught me so far, what I have gained, what I have lost, what I have learned, what I have felt...the past, the present and the future.

My hobbies :
In the 2nd year of my Diploma in Law course, I started the Sarawak Gunpla Meisters after watching James May's Toy Story series. I thought, why isn't there one? And so, I began the group Sarawak Gunpla Meisters and it attracted many people.

In that same year, I created the Sarawak Kamen Riders group (currently now Sarawak Tokusatsu Heroes) because I watched Kamen Rider Kiva and Den O. Although, it did not gather as many members as it did with Sarawak Gunpla Meisters.

I brought my hobby, Yu-Gi-Oh along with me to Kuching and that is where I began to think really hard about it. I spent a lot of money on buying the 'staple' cards but eventually, I sold all of it. I quit Yu-Gi-Oh and moved on to Cardfight Vanguard because I seriously think that YGO is more on "I am richer and therefore I have more chances to win against you". I don't have to tell you how much some cards cost. One Pot of Duality Super Rare was Rm120 last time.

*Although I still play Vanguard, I'm currently interested in Z/X. Fascinating game none the less. :D

My studies :
DIL Year 1 - started off looking like a weirdo from Watamote. According to my friends, they said I was pretty much of an asshole in the past. Things were rough as I tried to get used to what the lecturers are trying to teach us. And yes, I still got through Year 1 with a minor hiccup where I failed Intro to Private Law.

DIL Year 2 - The fun begins here. Along with some major and minor dramas, now that I think of it. Started criminal law, Malaysian Legal System, Contract law and Constitutional Law. Struggled through Contract and Consti as I have no idea of what to write and I failed the 2 papers over and over again. Oh, and at that time, James was the Law coordinator. Passed Criminal Law and Malaysian Legal System with ease.

Resit, fail, resit, fail, resit, fail.

Flip table jak lah.

DIL Year 3 - Took up Land Law, Law of Tort, Family Law, and Equity and Trust. Failed most of the subjects miserably as the lecturers were strict in their markings this time. That or probably because I goofed up again. I wasn't taking my papers seriously enough. Hence, I stayed back for a whole year just to finish up my remaining papers.

DIL Year 3 ver 2.0 - Started last year, I sat for my remaining Year 3 papers. Passed all of them one by one. Feels like I'm gunning them down one at a time. :D I handed in all the tutorials and redo all the wrong answers. And as of today, I have completed my studies in SEGi College Kuching.

Yes, I graduated. And today is also my classmate's birthday, Seraphine Shantee.



Apparently, I forgot that my jacket is blue and it doesn't match with my slacks. *facedesk*

Anyways, it's the last time we will meet before we see each other again in the coming future. Here is where we depart. I think.

And yes, the dreaded y=mx + c comes into my mind once more.


In family relations :
My dad started this badminton hall business and has been running it 24/7. He loves it a lot. Although, it is kinda taking a toll on us as he needs us to be there to jaga the badminton hall while he goes out to grab some stuff. This often made me wish that I can just stay in Kuching until I can fly off to Australia. Cause it's gonna be the same thing over and over again. Wake up, breakfast, go to badminton hall, lunch, badminton hall, dinner, badminton hall. Repeat every day.

I learned to be patient and more kind towards my elders especially after living with my grandma for the past 3 years...she passed away before I can complete my studies and to see me off to Australia. I love you, grandma. Thank you for taking care of me while I'm here in Kuching. I miss her smile and her laugh.

In friendships :
Because of the card game, Cardfight Vanguard, I made so many friends and through the business that I conducted, I made even more friends. Though, some of them are no longer my friends as either: I don't like their reaction towards me, or I am only being used for transport.

In college, so many many many many many many dramas. Especially among my classmates due to many reasons. The girls especially. The guys? We don't have any dramas at all. Until a particular someone comes along.

Oh, and thank you Abdul Hazif, for giving me this memorable friendship plate.


Church? Not much really, except for that one woman who helped me when I first came to Kuching. Miss Elizabeth Kuek. :) She helped me to become a reader! And also, she got married during my course of studying here in Kuching.

Now that my studies in Kuching are over, I must now look forward to Australia.

Alright, till next time.
