  • Graduating in The Making

    Quite a while back I went for a camp organized by PKA for graduating seniors.
    It's called GSR.

    It's a 3 days, 2 nights camp at Christian Convention Centre (CCC), Batu Feringgi, organized my PKA solely for old farts final year students, like me.
    The camp pretty much focuses on helping us to digest the fact that we're moving on from university life after this semester. Also, it helped us reflect on our past 2 1/2 years as university students and how to close this chapter of our life, which will end in the coming 7-8 weeks.

    Keeping to the traditional FES style, there were loads of reflection time... Hehe.
    Some of the questions were good and some a bit susah... Required a lot of reminiscing on our part.
    A few times my mind went into "standby" mode.



    But one of the questions got me thinking. It was about how do we want to spend the next final 7-8 weeks as university student.

    "What do you want to do?"

    It really got me thinking.
    And I've been asking a lot of my friends about it as well.
    These are just some of the things that came to mind.

    (1). Go for a joy ride with the Tekunites, first year style baby.
    (2). Whack all the famous Penang food in one day (Breakfast, lunch & dinner).
    (3). Take the bus to Prangin (Something I've not done since my first year).
    (4). Go to the beach after midnight.
    (5). Watch the sunrise/sunset.
    (6). Go for movies with friends/people that I'm not so close with.
    (7). Carve my name somewhere in USM. (hehe.. )
    (8). Feed the biawaks.
    (9). Go Feringgi to try paragliding as much as I've fear for heights.
    (10.) Swim in USM Swimming Pool (Squat Shelby doesn't want to go with Kev and I).

    Yup, that's pretty much my check-list for now.
    I know the lists may seem very superficial but it holds a lot of value when you do these things with friends you've grown with in the past three years.



    I've got approximately 5 weeks left to fulfil my check-list.
    Man, so depressing to think about moving on when you're having this much fun.


    A new journey is on the horizon. Mannn...

    Yeah I understand the "about the graduate feelings". It's been 4 years for me and I'm so going to miss Uni life so much! The friends, the joy, the laughter and doing impossible things together *sigh*
    A part of me sorta keberatan to move on, but another part is itching to start a new phase :)

    Anywa here's to your final lap and, all the best in your last 5 more weeks! Catch you in Pg sometime, dude!
