CTS Pro: My First Day In IIUM Kuantan

Bismillahhirrahmannirrahim...

Assalamualaikum.I still remember my first day in my dream university, International Islamic University Malaysia(IIUM) Kuantan campus.

It has been a long time since I waited to further my studies at this garden of knowledge and virtue. On that day, it was raining but not so heavy. It was quite nice, calm and welcoming surrounding in the campus. Then I suddenly remembered my first day, two years ago, in Centre for Foundation Studies(CFS), International Islamic University Malaysia at Petaling Jaya campus.

The excitement and the joy were as great as I feel like to go back to that time. But now, after two years, I finally step my feet in this campus. It will about another four years live, study and have fun here, I hope. Thanks to all committee members who helped me on my registration. They were very helpful and friendly.

May Allah bless them all. After I had finished my registration, I went to my hostel or IIUM students call it as Mahallah. Mahallah At-Tabari

Tabari

That is my place to stay for this semester, it’s located just outside the campus, not so far but not as I expected. As in CFS, the Mahallah is just inside the campus. So it seems to be quite different and I have to adapt with this situation. IIUM do provide shuttle buses for the students but I feel like to have my own transportation. At noon, I took the shuttle bus to go to the OCD Grand Hall, the place where I registered as a new student , for Ta’aruf Programme. There, all new students gathered to ta’aruf or know each other. Actually we already know each other in CFS, but the programme does strengthen the bond that we already have. We stay in the campus until night for the programme. It was tired but I do enjoy it. That’s all for the first day.
