Rainbow days!
I saw the real rainbow in my life when I entered matriculation college, where all beautiful things happened and all nasty things I had turned beautiful. Weird huh? That's matriculation life. As a person who grew up in a mollycoddling family, college was the first boarding school for me. I always thought how people could live in hostels and manage their life without their family. I thought it was totally a bad experience. But what I had in Selangor Matriculation College was totally fun. It is situated in Banting, Selangor, about 10 minutes away from my house. Yes, I was lucky to get into a college which was so near to my house and I was so fortunate to get Selangor Matriculation College or else I would not get to meet these beautiful people in my life. Whenever I first entered this college, it was totally a disaster, but in a good way. My parents were rushing to send me off because they had to bring my sister for an important medical check up as she was just get discharged from the hospital. Other parents stayed with their children, but my parents sent me off and went back home. I was all alone sitting in my room, thinking what would happen next, who my roommates would be. Then, someone came near me and said 'Hi' and that's my roommate, Anie, a pretty creature. After like an hour, we were asked to go down and follow the facilitators to the sports center. We rushed that I forgot to wear my sports shoe and went down late. We had aerobic exercise session and after we were done, we ran to our rooms as we were only given 30 minutes to freshen up and get ready to come down for another session. I don't remember whether I get to bath or not, but I was wearing the same shirt because I had no time to iron a new one. I was starving to death and had my stomach aching like all the bacteria were eating my stomach walls. To worsen up the situation, my phone broke and I couldn't call my parents. I called them via my friend's phone and they came to meet me. I was crying because I was so tired and hungry. The next day, we had a lot more busy sessions, we had to rush to places. The whole week was so tiring, I had no food, I only had biscuits. I still remember I walked miles from the hall to my room because I didn't know that shortcut existed. I stopped by at a small store to buy some more biscuits and the moment I came back to my hostel, we were asked to gather for another session. I rushed to my room, threw my bag of biscuits and ran down. I was so hungry and my legs were paining like hell because I walked the whole college to reach my hostel. We had a lot of activities, we had our classmates meet up, sports and many more. The orientation was like hell. Finally, the last day arrived. We slept off in the room and I was almost crying because the facilitators were angry at us. I had to call my Indian facilitator to bring me to the hall. I sneaked into the hall. I was bloody excited that I was going to go home that afternoon. Finally, the one-week orientation ended and my dad came to fetch me. I went back home for 2 days and came back to college on Sunday. There, we are not allowed to go back in the weekdays, cannot go out in the weekends unless we are given permission to, can be banned from going out if we return to college after 7 p.m., cannot play truancy, and a lot of strict rules. But it disciplined me and it was all rainbow days. I had bad moments too, but good moments are worth to remember.
