For today's post, I was inspired by my senpai(senior) to post a post as MJHEP student. Yes people, I finally admit that I am a MJHEP student after four months of being MJHEP students. What is MJHEP? MJHEP stands for Malaysia Japanese Higher Education Program where the students in this program are able to pursue diploma in Malaysia for 3 years in MJII(Malaysia Japanese Industrial Institute) and degree in Japan for 2 years. Of all the scholarships available, I could say that this is the best catch. Students in this program are able to learn engineering course in Japanese by Japanese lecturers while in Malaysia.Yes peeps, there are a lot of Japanese teacher(日本人先生) here. There are also local lecturers that teach us and most of them can speak Japanese（日本語).This program started under the Look East Policy inspired by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed in 1983. This program has already existed even when I wasn't born yet. Currently, I am the 16th batch of this program. So, it wasn't a surprise when I said that most of the local lecturers here are my senpai（先輩). Ha.Ha. That's a good part actually because they had gone through the exact same process like us especially the struggles (T_T) so I can say they understand us at least somehow? Currently, I am in Matric year. For those who think that SPM is the hardest thing in the world, you should think twice.. nope thrice because there are a lot of other things that are much harder than SPM.
Back then, I thought SPM was the hardest thing ever and once I finished my SPM, I had assumed that my life has already completed. I thought I was going to have a happily ever after ending which I did for a while. I had the longest holiday ever as much as I could remember which was 5 months. 5 months was a really long period people. A. Reaaaaalllyyyyyy long period. I felt like it was endless and I got reeaallllyyyy bored. So, when I got into this program, I was extremely happy because my jobless,endless,missionless phase has already ended. "Yeay, a new phase, a new chapter." That was what mingled around my head after I got the news which only lasted for at most one week.
For me personally, life as a university student especially as MJHEP student is a lot harder and busier than SPM student generally. We have a lot of homeworks（宿題）need to be done by 8.15am tomorrow (eligible only for Japanese language). We have every two week Kakunin Test, almost everyday word(言葉) quizzes, 3 times a week Kanji(かんじ）quizzes and not to forget other test that are conducted often as well. Below is my daily routine(weekdays) as MJHEP student.
6.30am
-wake up
-Pray
-sleep back
*Sleep back is not a good move AT ALL so please don't copy me. Instead, you can use that free time to do revision, memorize kanji, Japanese word, do homework, etc. I tried and I failed countlessly because I am too tired and the bed looks so inviting and comfortable.
7.30am
-wake up for the 2nd time
-take bath
-Ready for the day
8.20am-1.15pm
-class
1.15pm-2.10pm
-lunch break
-pray
-pray
2.15pm-5.10pm
-class
5.10pm~5.30pm
-pray, rest
~5.30pm
-homework
~7.30pm~9.00pm
-pray
-Food for soul
~9.00pm~the earliest 12.30++am
-Homework
-revision(memorize kanji, word,etc) (~ = around that time)
*And sometimes some late night chit chat, night break, nap, eat, etc.
My daily life routine may vary from other students but that is basically how my days as MJHEP student pass by.
One lesson learn that I have learnt while in this program is, you need to make a huge sacrifice to get a better result. Life is always like that. We win some, we lose some. We can't have everything right? Imagine if we every single thing that we want in this world, don't you think that it would make our life dull and bored? Life becomes exciting when we have something to pursue and to reach to. Like my mom once said "it's not so much of the victory but the journey and the process towards achieving the victory is more memorable". I quoted, you interpret it. It's up to you to interpret any way that you want. The understanding is fully yours.
P/S I am still struggling as a student so let's struggle together! :))

ReplyDeletecan i know how much mjhep give u for allowance per month? i am one of the becoming mjhep student
ReplyDeletesorry for the late reply. Well, at first you'll get the allowance 2 or 3 months late. It depends because there are a lot of documents and agreements need to be completed, signed, etc. After all the admin work has completed, then they will give out the allowance . Since i'm sharing the info on the internet, i cannot tell you exactly how much you will get but what I can tell you is that the allowance that you will get is enough. Enough to support your living here. The allowance that they give you is solely for your basic necessities. Things such as books, tuition fees,accommodation are covered so you don't have to worry about those. Welcome to MJHEP!
