So sebagaimana saya sudah janjikan, so I'll gonna directly wanna describe a little bit more about this particular institute of mine.... Sorry if I didn't really have a intro, cause well,I can't figure out one. So, here it goes:

Aight, so selepas saya escape daripada "Terror of Form 6" yang sebijik macam filem SAW tu, saya telah ditawarkan ke Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan, Johor. And I was like "Owh, Poli.... *shrug. At least tidak jugak saya terseksa macam monyet sarkas..." But THEN, saya sedar bahawa saya bukannya pergi ke sebarang-sebarang Politeknik, BUT a Politeknik PREMIER! Di mana Politeknik Premier hanyalah EMPAT sahaja di seluruh Malaysia, plus nilai sijil Diploma Politeknik Premier sama taraf dengan universiti kerajaan, plus it's certified by International Quality Standard System. Dan punyalah mulut saya ternganga macam...... ternganga.... Honestly, it's an honour to be here, studying and achieving what I'll become.So, minggu pertama di Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan...... It feels like HELL....! No, seriously....
Saya menjangkakan yang minggu pertama sepatutnya minggu yang paling 'friendly' di antara semua minggu. Sebab sebagai orang baru, we're expecting a warm welcome, kan? But then, mereka punyalah tengking kami, then denda pun tak berpada-pada. And the worst thing is, mereka senior layan kami orang batch Dec 2013 macam kami baru keluar sekolah menengah. And I was like kami sudah boleh consider boleh berfikir secara kritis dan analitis, bak kata orang.... But what to do? Kami memang 'freshie' and that's the fact we had to endure for one whole semester.
Apabila minggu MSK (Minggu Sual Kenal) berlansung pada minggu pertama itu jugak, apparently sayalah hanya antara TIGA orang Sarawak yang kini dalam batch Dec 2013, and I *ehem..... are the only native Sarawakian in that batch! You heard me! The only Bidayuh, Iban,Bisaya, Kayan, Kenyah, Melanau, Murut, Lun Bawang etc. etc.in my batch. At this moment, I was wondering if that's another sarcasm, or a honour to be the only native Sarawakian. Might be sarcasm..... I think?
Sepanjang minggu MSK, pelbagai dugaan serta cubaan yang sering kali menimpa kami, bak kat penulis skema novel Melayu, kan? And you know the hardest part throughout whole week: PENGGONDOLAN KEPALA SEHINGGA RAMBUT MENCECAH SATU CM! Dan saya macam WTF !@#$%^&*()_+?! Dan pada pandangan pertama saya kepada cermin, saya lansung tak kenal reflection siapa itu... But then mungkin tempat lain, so adat mereka pun lain. So saya sapu sajalah sisa-sisa dia.. Literally, saya sapu sisa-sisa rambut saya yang cantik itu dan buang ke dalam tong sampah... So pada time tu, saya telah bersumpah time gambar saya di-post-kan dalam Facebook, mesti ada topi... (That explains why I frequently use my black fedora hats and Ironman cap)
Tetapi ketika masa cepat berlalu dan saya makin kenal perangai orang sini, semakin saya rasa serasi....You know? Jumpa orang Jawa face-to-face, ada room-mate orang India, then berkawan dengan orang Cina yang pekak bisu, really broadening my experience to a whole new level. Macam this is not what I really expected, actually. So secara rasminya saya kini belajar segala paper dalam DRG (Diploma in Graphic Design),bahasa isyarat, and a bit of Javanese. hahaha!
Owh yah, aim saya sepanjang tiga tahun study sini ialah agar supaya saya dapat keseronokan ketika belajar, and I just wanna prove societies that Politeknik graduants could contribute something to societies. Really... That's what I really wanted the most! And change a little bit more Peninsular Malaysian perspective toward us as Sabahan and Sarawakians, that we could do something that normal Malaysians can't do..
So sekarang ni saya adalah sebahagian daripada EXCO Jabatan Rekabentuk dan Komunikasi Visual, comitee member of PIS Christian Fellowship, penghuni kamsis High-Tech 3,ahli KBIM (Kelab Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia) , freelance photographer, Youth St. Theresa, Masai, and a proud students of Graphic Design at Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan.

So that's it! So what's about the title this blog update...? Well it's actually my Matrix card number, so I think that might be the best title untuk kali ni... Sarawak? Of course I missed Sarawak! Missed Sarawak so badly that I didn't even care to pay a lot more money just to buy the tickets. But what to do? The only things that separates me and Sarawak are South China Sea, and financial capabilities. So,sad to say yang saya takkan sambut CNY tahun ni dengan family saya. Sama macam last year,but that's fine with me... I'm okay with that.... I guess? Yam Seng sorang-sorang, bagi dan terima ang pau sorang-sorang, dan habiskan satu kotak limau mandarin sorang-sorang... What to do, kan? (I'm really craving for Laksa Sarawak, Kuih Lapis and Manuk Pansoh really right now)
So, I guess that's it! See ya!!!
