Unpacking My UKM Journey: Registration Day




When I received the offer from UKM, I was beyond excited, as studying in Peninsular Malaysia had been my goal since SPM. It felt like a dream come true. A few days before registration, my parents and grandfather accompanied me to do some shopping for my college essentials, such as pillows, groceries, and other necessities to help me settle in comfortably. The preparations made me even more excited, as everything started to feel real.

On registration day, my uncle, who is a UKM alumnus and lives in Shah Alam, joined us as a guide. Having someone familiar with the university made things easier, and he shared stories about his time at UKM, which made me even more eager to start my journey. The moment I stepped into the university, it felt surreal—I had finally achieved something I had dreamed of for so long.

Since the registration process was already completed online, the day was mainly focused on college registration and key collection. After receiving my key, we headed to my block and entered my room. It was quite dusty and dirty, which was expected since it hadn’t been used for months. Thankfully, my family was there to help me clean up, arrange my belongings, and make the space feel more comfortable. Their presence gave me a sense of comfort before they had to leave.


One thing I was really looking forward to was meeting my roommate. Some students had already connected with theirs through the Telegram group, but I still had no idea who mine was. The anticipation built up as I wondered what kind of person they would be, whether we would get along, and how life in a shared space would be. I didn’t get to find out until my first day at UKM, making the experience even more exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.

My Most Visited Spots in University

At university, besides spending time at my faculty and other college cafés, one of the places I frequently visit is the library—Perpustakaan Tun Seri Lanang (PTSL). I go there whenever I need to stay focused and motivated during study sessions. Seeing so many students studying makes me feel guilty if I’m not being productive, which helps keep me on track. The library provides a conducive environment, not just for studying but also for completing assignments, group discussions, and even a quiet place to gather my thoughts. Sometimes, I like to sit by the windows to enjoy the view while studying, as it helps me feel more relaxed. I also often visit PUSANIKA to buy groceries at 99 Speedmart. While there, I usually grab a drink from Zus Coffee or TeaLive to refresh myself before heading back to my college or faculty. PUSANIKA is also a convenient place to run errands, whether it’s getting stationery, printing documents, or just taking a short break in between my schedule. Every Friday, t...

My Education Journey

21 years of life have been quite challenging, especially in academics. I don’t come from a high-level educational background, but with the encouragement and support of my parents, I am now pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with Honors at one of Malaysia’s top universities— National University of Malaysia (UKM) in Bangi, Selangor. Primary School: Where It All Began My educational journey started at SK Datuk Awang Udin, Mukah, Sarawak , where I attended pre-school and primary school from Year 1 to Year 6 . This was the place where I discovered my potential , particularly in leadership and talent development .

Academically, I sat for the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and achieved 2As and 4Bs .

Smashing Through the Day: My Badminton Experience

Hi everyone, Today, I want to share how I usually spend my badminton sessions! I typically play with my Form 6 friends at the Badminton Court Majlis Daerah Dalat dan Mukah (MDDM) . We prefer playing on weekdays when we don’t have too much homework piling up. Most of the time, we play in pairs since singles can be quite exhausting. To make things more exciting, we always turn it into a mini-tournament , but in a fun and casual way—nothing too serious! After an intense game, we usually grab some food at our favorite spots or, if we’re in the mood to relax, head straight to Pantai Kala Dana Mukah to enjoy the beach vibes. Badminton isn’t just a sport for us—it’s a way to stay active, bond with friends, and de-stress from studies . What’s your go-to activity to unwind? Let me know!
