The Wait

The wait towards the 25th of February was heart beating.It was one of the day that can bring changes to my life.At noon, I received a call from my mother.That particular phone conversation was flooded with tears.At first thought, my result must be very disappointing.It turned out to be otherwise.I did fairly well this time around.I felt great.

Application for public University came next.I was bothered.I had no idea which should be my eight correct choices.Thankfully my parents were very courteous.They had everything well planned.They knew what is right for me and they went surfing through the net to obtain more information.They found a site which had information of past years rate of admission.The site tells about the admission of students with their respective CGPA.The wait for the dateline was pretty fast.31st of March came out of nowhere.I submitted my application on the 30th because I know that particular day was a lucky day.

On the 20th of April I got to know that I got that interview spot in Universiti Malaya.To make things better I have to sit for the Munsyi from USM.The wait for the interview was unbearable.If I do not have to work I am sure that I will not be able to sleep well for that particular week until the day for interview.The interview falls on the 23rd of April and Munsyi was the day after.The wait for Munsyi was good because I was aware of what was it about.

I was interviewed by two different lecturers.One of them looked very stern and the other looked friendly.I was flooded with questions that I cannot answer.I told myself to calm down and I gone through that session with uncertainties.However my answers show that I want University Malaya so much.The friendly one looked impressed and I was sure she would put a tick right beside my name.The other one was not very pleasant.The question that was raised by her was not given a good reply from me.She didn't looked impress.It looks like if she was the only sole lecturer that interview me, I would not stand a chance.

At the end of the interview, I say it is 50-50 that I will get myself into Universiti Malaya.

Then I prepare my mood for Munsyi for the day after.It was relatively easy if it is to be compared with the interview.All I had to do for Munsyi was answering simple questions such as what is your interest and questions which were all about you.I enjoyed it and I was pretty sure that I would be in USM months later.

The wait which lasted from the 24th of April until the 17th of June was horrible.Time goes by as if that a day was like a year.Work was tiring and boring.I didn't like things to be routine.I was always stucked in the office doing the same thing over and over again.

I was told that the 18th of June is D-Day.I would know which University I will be going once the clock reached Noon.Thankfully it was the Day for the LA Lakers and the Boston Celtics too.It was the game 7 of the NBA Finals.Whoever wins that game will be crown Champion.The wait from morning till noon was full with excitement due to that match.Boston started well but did not hold on to it which resulted a painful loss to the Lakers who was crowned champion later.I wasn't happy but the game plays it role to make me feel that time goes by in a flash.

However once we received the reply text from Universal Postal Union that I was accepted to study in University Malaya, it changed the mood of my family.We were glad and it put a big smile on every family members especially my caring parents.They were exceptionally happy.

We enjoyed our meal.

I was happy and I am proud to be given an opportunity to further my studies in one of the best University.

The wait from the 18th of June to registration which fall on the 4th of July was crazily and insanely quick.Time just flies.I realised I love being at home.I was not very happy with the fact that I have been working for the previous four months.The time being in the office was way more than being at home.Now I have to stay in the hostel which pretty much occupy my time at home.

The wait to be at home most of the time begins!
