The Petite Malay Girl

Greetings from Montreal!

Sunday, 20 September 2015

I just can't believe it that I am gonna write this entry

here in Montreal!

This is so not real!!

Well, to study abroad is definitely

my dream since forever,

but I don't quite sure why, tbh.

The only thing I want to do is to travel!

I love travelling so much it hurts

because I have not enough money.

I am in the middle of

"should I spend on things I really wanna have back then?"

"should I save the money for a brighter future?"

"should I travel?"

I seriously don't mind spending time and money just to travel

but there's a very loud voice inside my head (and heart)

just telling me,

it will definitely be a great idea to travel with my whole family!

I am very very homesick

till I cry.

(Literally crying)

Because I want them to be here with me

(and not me being there with them, you know...)

Wait, I am gonna continue in just a minute.

*Next post*

MSA Frosh Day 2

Sunday, 6 September 2015

Remember I was telling you

how I hardly got to make

a lot of friends like how I used to

in high school here,

well it's true until the MSA Frosh.

Frosh is like a welcoming event that

a faculty or a club will held annually

to celebrate new students

and it's like a homecoming thingy for the returning students.

Faculty of engineering has its own frosh,

but I don't join that

because of personal reasons.

So I join MSA frosh;

Muslim Students Association frosh.

I made thousands of friends here!!

(Exaggerating much but it's true!)

They're super cool people,

of same religious belief

and they like Malaysia!!

I am really glad they're and

Malaysia seems cooler now

because I explained to some of them

about our scholarship programs.

Dude,

we have a lot of scholarship programs

and there're almost 500 sponsored students or more

every year!

Malaysia is generous

and we just have to prove our worth man!

Seriously,

I'm telling this to myself too!

Tuition fees are not cheap.

All we, the sponsored students just have to study and score well

and come back and do something for our nation.

Or migrate to other countries but the GDP thingy will

kinda show how we make progress as a nation!

#adviceformyself

So yesterday we had laser tag!

Today we traveled to Old Port and

the city is beautiful!

and we went up to Mont Royal and watched sunset there

and we got to perform our prayer there :)

We played the labyrinth maze too!

Me and Sofia (she's half Malaysian, born in Canada tho)

we didn't cheat at all and we're very satisfied!

So, enough with the talk!

Here's the pictures!

ps, I'm not in most of the pictures because I'm the girl behind the camera.

I am pretty busy with adjustment now and trust me, I miss Malaysia a lot!
Here's a funny thing about me.
I really wanted to study abroad, since forever then when I got this chance,
I took several days for adjustments.

But hey, I like it here. Well, at least I'm challenging myself
and people won't tease me anymore
(because apparently everyone thinks I'm the manja kid who cant stand on her own feet pfft)

But I am perfectly okay!
(okay I lied, I cried a lot...)

But I am okay, I just feel like it's really a long journey to get here.
Practically it's a 32-hour-journey, and it took a 13-year-struggle to get here.
I am left with another 4 years to make my ultimate goals come true, that is to
be an engineer!

Have I told you about this cool lady on my flight from toronto to Montreal?
Well she has degree in engineering and master in business and administration, that makes
her a consultant for an engineering company here.

Well, that's what I'm aiming for...

My residence is cool! My housemates are amazing.
But still it's not easy to make friends here especially
when they speak French, Quebec french not the France french haha

Anyhow, the international students here are super incredible!
