' Hello, is this Von Yi?'
'Yup, who's on the line?'
'I'm Ros. Congratulations Von Yi, you are selected for the BeST programme. Are you still interested in this programme?'
'Yes, of course!'
A phone call on Friday and voila, I'm here in UniRAZAK campus . From here onwards, I foresee myself to have a change in my destiny in life, my journey towards an adventurous life. Most of my friends, by now, would be hanging out at the malls, enjoying the holidays, chilling out with a bunch of friends. Well, obviously that's what most students would do after the final exam of undergraduate studies. The so-called self-declared 'Merdeka' is understandable, since most of us have been struggling for 3 years in Monash University, bombarded with lab reports and assignments every week during our undergrad studies. It is like a release from hell, from mental torture.
Nevertheless, I am one who enjoys being stuffed with activities in my everyday's life. I don't like to just sit at home doing nothing. For me, life is more meaningful if we can learn new things, to gain knowledge. How beautiful the world is when you can explore in the vast sea of knowledge. This is when I have taken the offer to join BeST programme.
Even though I have no friends with me, even though being all alone in this programme, I am very certain that the decision to take up the challenge will change my life.
Everyone has his/her first time in life. Because of this programme, I had my first time of taking public transport myself, I learnt to be independent, I learnt to be socializing people of different background from me. And what's more, I made new friends even when I know none of them at all. Being in BeST programme is entirely spontaneous, yet I am anticipating an interesting journey and experience ahead within the next three months in this programme. Hopefully a fruitful experience at the end of this programme.
