A New Beginning

First of all, I would like to introduce myself. I’m Jasmine Chin but in my Identity Card its CHIN CHEA MEEN. There is a reason why my mum name me Jasmine. Previously, I was named ELIS which is a very funny name, I think. As I can remember when I was in Standard One, my mum went to one SIFU and he said,” Elis is not a good name and it doesn’t suit me and SOOOOO, I was named Jasmine Chin. From that onwards, my close friends start teasing me with ELIS JASMINE CHIN CHEA MEEN.
On the 23rd of March, I enrolled myself in Taylor’s College at the Lakeside Campus and I know this is going to be the new beginning of my life because this is related to my career in the future. Well, I was quite disappointed when I was told that we’ll be studying in Leisure Commerce Square. So, I am OFFICIALLY a COLLEGE student on the TWENTY NINETH of MARCH. Wondering why I capital the words? Well, that is what I waited for all this while when I was in my high school. I always wanted to be called as a COLLEGE STUDENT instead of a secondary school student which sounds more mature and cool, for ME. I was very nervous on the first day of college as we were going to meet more new people, meet our lecturers and the surroundings which are totally different from high school. It was something which I have not been through throughout these seventeen years. Besides, this also reminds me of the first day I entered school which was year 1999.
On the first day of college, I woke up very early because I couldn’t sleep well as I was feeling very nervous. I guess that was a normal thing for everyone, right? I reached college half an hour later and I headed to the Information Counter. We were brought to the Multi Purpose Hall for orientation talk. Frankly speaking, the talk was rather BORING. Soon after that, we were divided to two groups which were the Foundations and the Diplomas.
We were introduced to the Programme Director and our lecturers. There were Miss Ngim, our College Study Skills lecturer, Miss Karmini, our Mass Communication lecturer, Miss Sureka, our IT lecturer and the only male lecturer, Mr. Winston, our Fundamental of Management and Creative Communication Portfolio Development lecturer. Soon after that, the seniors brought us for campus tour. I was seriously confused with the blocks and floors and rooms.
I had my lunch with my high school friend who is also studying in the same college and after that I went back to the Multi Purpose Hall for another talk about our course and ice breaking. I had fun and I enjoyed a lot during the ice breaking session. I got to know friends from foundation because we were divided into groups to present something.
Soon after we finished the activity, I went to take my Student Id Photo at the Multipurpose Hall. And I got back home after taking that photo! I’ll talk about friends, course, lecturers and etc in another post soon! Good night people! =D
