End of semester 1

My first semester has come to an end. It has been almost 4 months already counting from 24th September 2009 till 24th January 2010. Actually it begun on 18th July 2009 when I registered but let's count from 25th September. It's been an interesting journey. I just want to thank God for everything He has done. The below is my account of significant events.

24th September 2009
I collected KDU hostel keys. The hostel was horribly dirty.

25th September 2009
My parents came. Unsatisfied we were able to change to rent a room at the nearby residence at 26th Jln Loh Boon Siew. Thank God because the cost was RM20 lesser (RM180) for a 2 person room compared to KDU's 4 person 1 room at RM200.

26th September 2009
After service in EPCC (Excel Point Community Church), I move into my new room. Got to know my new roommates. Here is where I get a shocking news, the truth about the landlord, why all of them are moving out by the end of the month. They told me that the place is better. Well I prayed and talk to my earthly dad. My dad told me to stay put.

27th September 2009
Orientation in KDU. Afternoon session is clear for us.

28th September 2009
First day in class. First subject - Asset Pricing. Ms Lim our lecturer was a really hot lecturer but a lecturer that is scary at first encounter as she asked many questions.

God really connect people by bringing people who are better than us. Afternoon session cleared.

6th October 2009
Thank God for today. It was today that I was challenged to go for Campus Revolution prayer meeting by Darren Teoh. If it wasn't for today, I won't be a revolutionist in my campus for God. Darren fetched me home as well. I will remember this day.

Both of them became good friends of mine from this day. We discussed accounts during lunch break. The next day after classes, Ben, Leo, Andrew, Raymond, Koay and I went for lunch before heading to FTZ for gaming. Played BF2 with Ben and Raymond. Ben hated this game since then because he was KIA many times in the game.
