It’s the last registration day for me!

It’s the last Friday of the month and is the registration day at Limkokwing University’s campus at Cyberjaya for a new semester for all returning students. It will be my last semester of the course that took 3 years (and another year in Foundation) which will begin by August and end before December this year, hopefully before my birthday on 4th December. So, the registration event today becomes a little bit more significant compared to the previous ones, as it will be my last registration day for the architecture course I’m taking.

The procedure went on as usual. Students have to settle the fees first which is the university’s priority forever before being officially registered within the university. I have reached the campus quite early (before 9.30am) after over an hour long drive through congested roads in KL….and still I have to wait for two hours just to get the fees settled before registration is made….thanks to the small number of counters in operation, inefficiency of the working staff as well as behaviour of some students cutting queue! Wasted my two-hours sitting in there…luckily, there are still friends by side to chat with….registration day is also the day to meet back some of my friends and classmates after a month of holiday when we couldn’t see each other.

After the fees had finally settled which would be the last cheque my father has to give to the university, it’s only time to register back at the plaza. Luckily, there are not many people there and it is done quick with just a sheet of paper printed out with a signature to mark the official registration of a student. Simple procedures overall, but the system (bursary) just failed! So to be clear, the event should be known as Fees Payment Day rather than Registration Day, looking at their obvious motive in collecting fees before a student can register. The timetable is ready, and yes…we got Friday as a holiday again, similar to the timetable of previous semester. I got five modules to take for this last semester…and may God bless me….wish me luck and all the best!
