Journey to the South!!!!

At 8.30 pm on last Thursday, my mom received a call from grandpa in KL telling that my uncle passed away a few minutes ago. It was a sudden for us to hear that news and nothing could be done when tears started to flow. My mom cried because he was her closest brother and I knew how she felt during that moment.My uncle died due to leukemia, a disease that we never expected him to get it, at Ampang Puteri Specialist Centre. ust imagine, it was like yesterday he teased me but today, he died. He was a very active guy physically, spending more than an hour working out in the gym but suddenly, he was sent to the hospital for having leukemia.If I'm not mistaken, he was diagnosed with leukemia 3 weeks ago but we never expected him to leave us. he was the Manager of FELDA Plantation and maybe his work contributed to this illness as he was exposed to many chemicals while doing daily inspection at the farm. He passed away around 8am on 25th June 2009 at Ampang Puteri Specialist Centre, leaving a wife and 5 small children. May Allah bless him. I just cannot stop thinking of his kids, losing such a great dad at a very young age. That's the reason why I didn't attend my school's Speech Day. By the way, kudos to P-jol for grabbing the scholar of the year :-). But what I'm trying to say right now is that death can take place anywhere, anytime no matter how healthy that person is. A couple of days ago, Michael Jackson @ Mikael passed away and until now, his fans are still crying. And i'm still thinking, am I ready to leave this world? If it happens I die after typing this, will i be in heaven? How about all of my sins before this?. Will Allah forgive me? Is this what people call as soul searching of whatever it is?.Mmm.. i just leave this question mingling in my mind, hoping that one day, I will find the answer. I just leave it to Allah to judge it but I do hope I'm doing the right thing while I can still feel the air. So, we went back to Segamat directly after hearing that news and I could see all of my aunties and uncles were very sad, hoping that they would have spent more time with him as he was a very nice brother and he remains the best uncle ever!!

After 5 days in Segamat, I went back home today (29th June 2009) and I directly set in front of my computer to type this. On my way back to Alor Setar, I asked my parents to stop at KYUEM, just to check the college. The first impression when I heard 'Lembah Beringin' I feel quite uncomfortable as the name itself gives a different feeling to me.'Beringin'.. mm.. sounds like a haunted place. Putting all of my perspectives on the college aside, i went there with my family. my father drove passing the toll plaza and I could feel how 'beringin' that place is. To tell you the truth, there's no one around the place, just full of empty houses. I didn't see any car passing us. My brother, Ameen told me that I'm going to study with ghosts and I kinda agree with him.hehehe.. Lembah Beringin is a very quite place and I really mean it. Frankly speaking, I never expected an A-levels college to be like that. I mean, it's very quiet and there's no shop at all!. After 3 km of driving, we finally arrive at the college. What else can I say?. Wow!!!! It's a very beautiful college located in its very own campus. then, I went into the college and stopped near the students' service department. I talked to a clerk there and she told me that Bank Negara doesn't give the list yet.They only booked 10 places. I told her I just wanted to walk around to check the college. The clerk said that I could walk around but she didn't allow me to have a look inside the chalet where I'm going to stay. She only told me that there will be 4 rooms in a chalet with 2 attached bathrooms and one room per person. So, i just walked around and my parents told me that it's a very great place to study as there's no distraction at all. I did agree with them. it's just my mom who kept on complaining that I'm going to die there! (;-)). I don't mind if that place is so,so isolated as long as I can get great results and it's good for my personality upbringing, then everything will be fine for me. Not having any near shop is not a big deal for me. What I can say right now is that I'm so eager to be there. I just cannot wait. KYUEM, here I come and that's the end of my jouney to the south!
