[Politeknik] Never Try Never Know

After SPM (the Malaysian Certificate of Education) results released, I continued sixth form in my alma mater. I was not provided with my desired course even though I have appealed to the authority. I was so upset and depressed that I could not focus on my study. I was thinking to escape from the school all the times.

After struggling of two weeks, I received an offer from Politeknik Seberang Perai to further study in Diploma. I was given my first choice - Logistics and Supply Chain Management. I was on my first day of school holidays when I received the offer. I was given a month to prepare before admitting to polytechnic, but I was very excited that I submitted withdrawal letter to my school authority before the school reopened again. I was not really know about polytechnic, all I knew about it was I wanted to get a Diploma in my favourite course and further my study in local university.

My three years of polytechnic life has developed me to a better person. The main idea is "If you never try, you'll never know what you are capable of".

In this post, I would to share happy moments for being a polytechnic student.  

#1: Make friends with people of other races.
#2: The Eating-with-Bare-Hand Challenge 
#3: Join different societies and activities.
#4: Attend seminar, workshop or activities that not related to academic.
#5: Interview the industry.
#6: Struggle for business research and build trust on a team.
#7: Make the impossible possible.
#8: Achievement 

******************************************************************************

#1: Make friends with people of other races.

I have been surrounded exclusively by friends of my own race for 18 years before entering polytechnic. In polytechnic, I could not stay in a homogeneous racial group because I was the only Chinese for my course in that batch. However, we don't see each other so much like 'you are black, and I am yellow'. If you like the same thing I like, then that's all that matters. Most of times, we have forgotten that we were different in ethnicities. In other words, we have became colour blind.

#2: The Eating-with-Bare-Hand Challenge 

I use chopsticks, a fork and a spoon or a knife as utensils when eating for my whole life.
Other races like Malay and Indian are eating with bare hands. It sounds rare and uncommon for me.
It was awkward to eat with fork and spoon when other friends were eating with their bare hands and the restaurant did not supply any utensils. I took the eating-with-bare-hand challenge up when attending a camp dominated by other races.


#3: Join different societies and activities.

There are many societies and activities in polytechnic. The societies and activities in polytechnic works almost the same like university. Most of them are funded by the government agency and therefore usually it takes zero cost to join. I took the opportunity to travel Northern Malaysia while learning something different from the campus.





#4: Attend seminar, workshop or activities that not related to academic.

If you aren't sure whether or not you should get involved in extracurricular activities, you definitely need to consider all the benefits that come along with these activities.
The nature of teenage brain development means that teenagers are likely to seek out new experience. Some of us might having self-concious, learning to control and express emotions in a grown-up way. These things are not taught in class. We have to discover by joining activities not related to academic.


#5: Interview the industry.

Honestly, gain knowledge in classroom is bored. The best way to learn is visiting the industry and do interview because the sharing by industry is practical.







#6: Struggle for business research and build trust on a team.


Business research is the most struggling assignment for students from Commerce Department because we have to conduct our own research from A-Z. 
It was also the time to examine friendship and trust on a team. 


#6: Volunteer to help the authority.

On March 2015, PSP was assessed against the seven Asia Pacific Accreditation and Certification Commission (APACC) accreditation criteria – Governance and Management; Teaching and Learning; Faculty and Staff; Research and Development; Extension, Consultancy, and Linkages; Resources, and Support to Students.  The assigned APACC team had CPSC Faculty Consultant Dr. Hazrat Hussain as the Team Leader. He was accompanied by Polytechnic University of the Philippines, College of Science Dean Dr. Theresita Atienza, APACC Officer Mr. Bryan Noel Lazaro, and Local Translator Ms. Nabil Yaacob. My friends and I have volunteered ourselves to help the polytechnic authority in entertaining the guests.





#7: Make the impossible possible.

Organize Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year events sounds ridiculous when there was only 1-2% of Chinese students in polytechnic. 
It was not easy to convince the authority about the importance of cultural sharing.
On year 2013, a whole new record was built - the first Chinese cultural event was held successfully in the 15 years of history.


#8: Achievement 

Top scorer without co-curricular achievement means nothing once convocation ended. 
Be the top scorer with excellent co-curricular performance. 
I am happy that I have perfect ending for my three year polytechnic life.

18+11+3=?


十八年的家庭教育塑造了我优良的品德。
十一年的华文教育稳固了我的教育基础。
三年的多元环境成为将来做准备的管道。



新的一天,新的挑战。
敞开心怀,迎接挑战。

居住在马来西亚已有十八年,却是第一次真正的体会多元种族共处的生活。
在这之前的每一年,我都是自个儿在电视机前观看国庆仪式。
今年的国庆少了电视,却多了一份多愁善感。

祝各位国庆快乐!

Keep smiling =)

Smile is a simple act, but sometimes it takes a lot of effort. A smile causes boundaries to melt, hearts to warm up, and distances to reduce.

Life in new campus is great with new friends. There are many differences between my previous school life and my new experience here.

Meet my new classmates and neighbors:


在这之前,我有两个选择:一,回到我熟悉母校度过我迷茫的中六生活;二,在槟城我不熟悉的地方去体验我不知该如何想象的校园生活。
我选择了其二。
虽然它不是大多数华裔莘莘学子的理想抉择,我还是决定选择了这项挑战。
对我而言,不断的尝试新事物才会有精彩的人生。

我在母校度过了漫长的五年。对于她的美与丑,我太过了解。
我自认不是高才生,成绩中等,无法进入大学预备班和大学文凭课程自然已是我预料之事。
私人学院更不在我的考量之内。

在这里的一个月,我以新形象出发,面对新环境,认识新人物,挑战新事物。
在这里的一切都如我想象中顺利。
希望接下来的两年十一个月可以让我继续体验我不曾真正理解的多元种族生活。
