A-Levels at KYPM, KL

Before, I have told you that I further studies at Kolej Yayasan Pelajaran Mara doing A-Levels and it was a tough one. We were not only taught about the subject law itself but also in accounting and business studies which apparently was my favourite subject. I've spent 2 years there living in a building which was originally built as a car park with complete rams for cars to enter and exit and I started to learn the parts and parcels of living on my own. You see, the college is in Cheras and my hometown is Klang; the distance is about 50 km; some would say quiet near but to me most importantly was the ability to life independently eventhough my family kept visiting me every weekend.

I remembered my fellow friends who helped me survived for 2 years there and we were close like families. We shared our problems, went for outing together, sometimes chase after girls together and even on one occasion drove all the way from Kuala Lumpur to Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan at night just to spend a few early hours by the seaside under the moon - sounds a bit nostalgic yeah guys. Apparently, we arrived in Kuala Lumpur the following day at 7 a.m. and we went straight to our respective classes with joy. Some of these guys still kept in touch with me through Facebook and we still share the most valuable thing in this world called friendship.

Life was full of joy and sorrows sometimes but when it came to the final examinations of the A-Levels, dengue striked me and I was asked to leave the hostel to avoid further spread of the disease to other students. Being in pain I did not even have sufficient time to prepare for my A-Levels and during examinations, I knew the results will not be a good one. Luckily, that year 1998, we Malaysians were facing the economic downfall and the government urged students to complete their studies locally rather than abroad and with a gist of luck, I was accepted to the Law Matriculation programme by Universiti Teknologi Mara or UiTM, Shah Alam. I was thinking it was better to begin all over again at least I have a secured place to continue reading law.

I need to pen off now. As promised I will continue my stories with you in my next blog.

Have a nice day!
