(My look at my first semester in UTM-Orientation Week)
When there is the time, there is the time for you to leave; as a neb born baby and he cried to world when he just delivered, but as a fresh graduate like me, I choose to smile leaving the campus.
Many people say there is “天下无不散的宴席 (There are no feasts in the world which do not break up at last, all things must come to the Good Bye)”. As now, I gotta say Good Bye to my beloved Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
I recalled, the first day I came into UTM with my parents and how I started mixing around friends here. I recalled again, how I transformed myself from a Little Kampung CHAI to Knowledgeable & Energetic Ah CHAI.
(The days at S. Korea for Faculty Programme)
There is always a process in learning, there are always obstacles & challenges in learning curve and there is always failure & success in life. But, I know the simple principle of “Never Give Up, Then Things You Wanted to Achieve Would Come to You Eventually”. As I always say, ups and downs in life and “the balance in life; you gain you lose and you lose then you gain”.
UTM is my past tense, it was my achievement and it was my highest milestone that I have had been crossing by so far. A Milestone, there are the experience I really gained and transformed myself to be an unbeatable mankind.
I remembered there were so many objections and discouragements from my friends to me. I remembered, there were so many criticism & backstabbing done on me, but I know if there are the reality and truth then I will always carry on my tasks and aims.
Therefore, I today have really gained many of different types of experience through the trauma & wound given by the people. Here, I would like to thank to those have really criticized me; because of your words, there is a Brand New Ah CHAI. Remember, the truth and reality will always come to the end and the evil will never beat the angel eventually (邪不胜正).
Now, I’m really carrying the heavy heart & feeling and the tears want to flow out because the tears know well me that I would really miss UTM. But, I take a longer breath and control my sentimental emotion to avoid dropping the tears in my room now.
(I am the rain god, wherever I go and it must be raining, haha!)
These years, I have really experienced many events and organized many types of events too. I think the experiences I gained here are my best capital for me to carry on achieving a successful life in future right after a piece of degree of Bachelor of Civil Engineer. The experience, the experiences I gained with brothers and senior-juniors are the most essential back up of knowledge for me to bring it out to develop my life or career one day.
No worries, I will really remember you all, OK.
Of course, I will keep searching the next milestone in my life as I believe there is another new bus of destiny waiting me to on board. The buses, the destinations and the new challenges are waiting for me to overcome it step by step slowly.
(My best drug-Coffee Bean Coffee)
People always say I am a Bright Star and I would really become a good man kind of politician to continue serving the people and society one day. But, I say I am just like to be the real Ah CHAI (UTM) & Woeidar (Fatty Dar) in Mentakab. There is nothing much special I have, I guess, but I know I have the unbeatable determination in my memory of philosophy because I see all challenges could be beaten when right time comes. Being a politician or a normal citizen after someday, I think I will always keep myself lively and keep serving the society & needed people especially when it relates with educational matters, I promised!

Alright, my dear juniors, I really hope you all can try to find a Transformation of Yourself both in External & Internal Development. It is a must for you to transform yourself with the years in UTM because a ready graduate in many aspects and knowledge are too important nowadays. Do or Die of oneself, it is how actually you define yourself and how you inspire yourself.
Say no to those excuse that could bring you fail, say YES to all alternatives that could bring you into Success.
(My last task in UTM-PSM Thesis)
Opposes, I guess I have written too much the word here.
Anyhow, I wish to end up my essay here with two meaningful quotations I found out:
“Chances come from Change, Changes come from a Chance given to oneself; if you want to have a success in life, then you must give yourself a change to changes yourself” &
“Sunset & Sunrise are always the phenomenon in life, of course failure & success are the norm in life too; when you are down, remember that must me a UP later”
May you be blessed and may you all have a bright future indeed!
Never Give Up,
Little Chai of Ah CHAI & Fatty Dar
