PUNCAK ALAM
Welcome to my milky way! Have a look around and see what I have experienced here.
Campus Life
The scenery in Puncak Alam has no rival I tell you!
Chapter 1
MY PERSONAL VIEW
It was a bumpy ride for me from Kuala Krai, Kelantan to Puncak Alam, Selangor, and it was a rough start for me since I have never been so far away from my family before this.
​
Puncak Alam was an amazing experience on its own. I got to meet my classmates for the first time there and everyone was so welcoming and nice. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I'm in another state now and I'm taking on a course that I have passionately dreamt of for years!
​
There's so much I want to talk about here.
Chapter 2
Open Distance Learning (ODL)
Due to COVID-19, all foundation students had to start the first few weeks of our classes virtually at home before moving to either Puncak Alam or Dengkil. It was not what I expected but we really had to accept the fact that we were in a dangerous pandemic.
​
Even after moving to Puncak Alam, we still held most of our classes online. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see my lecturers in the flesh. I heard so many stories from my senior who took TESL a few years ago. They told me how fun it was even if the assignments were tiring. Every lecturer there had their own charm and loved spending time with the students in class and I wanted to experience it so badly.
I want to give a big applause to all of my lecturers that made the experience of learning online better. They took it upon themselves to give each student, including myself, the best experience they could offer and I'm always thankful to them. It wasn't the experience we expected but it was still something worth remembering.
Chapter 3
COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P)
The first thing I remember was that there was tape in the form of big X's everywhere. We couldn't sit in big groups or be too close to each other. Everyone had to maintain a specific distance and follow the rules made. It was difficult at first, but we got used to it. It didn't stop us from having fun on my own though.
I got to experience a lot of new things like going to Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak (PTAR). Of course, I took a lot of pictures there!
​
It was also one of the few times I rode a bus to go back to Kelantan with a new friend I made in Puncak Alam.
We had to follow the S.O.P. but I still got good memories in PTAR.
Arriving back to Dengkil at 7 a.m. Tired is an understatement but we can't forget our masks!

ADLIN
UMAIRAH
The calmest one in the house. A bit shy but she's always around to lend some help when I need it. Her relaxed demeanour really shines through, it makes me feel really comfortable around her.
DEE
The ever so cheerful Dee. She's the one I'm always comfortable to have a talk with. She's also probably the one who loves to go around and makes sure I'm okay when we were in Puncak Alam. Fashion sense is also always on point!
ADLIN
Adlin is always so calm when I talk with her. She's an amazing and hardworking person, I'm not surprised to see her studying until late at night.
