Life in KYUEM: Induction Week- No More Morning Exercices Please!!!!

Kolej Yayasan UEM, AKA KYUEM, this is where I'm gonna start a new chapter of my life in. Located in Lembah Beringin (Trans: The Valley of Hope), it actually gives no hope to its students experience civiliazation at all. This weird college (it does sound weird to many people, Wave even told me her relative complaint that the college sounds like a new virus), allocated in the middle of jungle, is the best college in Malaysia and positioned at the third place in academics throughout the East South of Asia (aka ASEAN). It isn't famous to most people, as its cosy fees, however not everyone doesn't know it. Something interesting bout this college is that it employs a lot of foreign educators to guide the students in their A-levels. 40%, and most of them are caucasians from the UK.
So , as one of the colleges in Malaysia, of course it has the typical orientation activities. Orientation, is an activity designed by the seniors, to welcome the freshies and also to cultivate some kinda what they called 'One Family Concept' to the juniors, APPARENTLY. Actually, it is only an activity that gives a chance to the seniors to release their stress and anxiety by bullying the juniors. Nevertheless, in KYUEM, instead of having orientation, we have something, like this but we called this programme as INDUCTION.
As 18 monthers, our induction week only lasted 1 week (how lucky were we, for the 24 monthers, theirs were 2-week long). It was quite fun, I honestly liked the evening exercices, where we had activities done together in groups and also lots of inter-group activities. Activities in the noon were boring, all about subject choices, all the hypnotizing speeches. Bruuuuuuh.
HOWEVER, they were still better than the disastrous MORNING EXERCICE. Imagine waking up at 5.30am, where everything you see is so blurred, and you still have to walk to somewhere which is at least 5 minutes from where you live. Yea, that's what happened to us every morning for a duration of 7 days. Wait!! That's not the worst. Morning exercice, not to only warm up your body, but to jog. Jog, means run, actually. To jog around the campus. KYUEM ain't a small college. In fact, it is one of the biggest colleges in Malaysia. Walking from my apartment to the dining hall takes 10 minutes. Not even dare to calculate how long it consumes to jog around the whole campus. If you're not asked to jog around the whole campus, you had to jog around the basketball court in front of the Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH). Yea, basketball court, but the facilitator leader forgot to continue his speech, basketball court+netball court, 2 courts, 5 rounds. Why Didn't You Just Kill Me?!!!!!!!!!!
