Welcome, Juniors!

Hello peeps and hello also to my kouhai(junior) to be who is reading this post. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this but if you actually are reading this, send me some clues. I’ll appreciate it.

Yosh!

So for my post today, I dedicated this post especially to all my beloved Kouhai(s). First and for most, I would like to express my warm welcome to you guys who got accepted to this programme. Congratulations on your acceptance! I heard that most or all of you guys possess 7A++ in your 2016 SPM result. For that, Congratulations too!!

I’m quite certain that most of you guys must have heard about rumours regarding our programme right? What I can tell you is that most of the rumours are true. If you are the kind of person who cannot handle stress properly, well, I guess you should really improve on that part. Next, if you are the kind of person who always score with flying colours and rarely fail (not as in literally fail but you’ll get what I mean when you start to be a part of us), please get yourself prepared because you’ll experience it eventually.

Precious stones don’t come in cheap prices. That’s all I can say. You guys..I mean we are actually very lucky to be in this programme with our current uncertain economy condition. My advice to you is if you have already gotten this programme, don’t ever think to quit/change programme because this programme is the best catch among other programme. You’ll get to learn new language which is obviously Japanese and guess what with this programme, within 3 months you could actually speak the language!(although not really fluent but you’ll actually be surprise with what you had learnt within 3 months).

Next, I’m gonna share with you some common phrases that you might say without you realizing it and also my replies to those phrases. Since I had already experience those beforehand and also still experiencing those at slightly a different phase than you, I hope this post will actually help you continuing your life in this programme maybe?

1. “During my school year, I used to think that I’m clever but now not so anymore or am I actually stupid?”

Malay: “Masa sekolah dulu, rasa macam pandai. Masuk sini rasa bodoh.” <-Quoted from my 2 years older senpai(senior)

My reply: You are not STUPID! You just need time to actually get used to the system. Yes there will be times when most of your friends score in the quiz but you didn’t. Relax, and believe there will always be next time. Tell yourself, you’ll do better next time. In this programme, one of the most important thing is to learn how to get up after you fall. It’s okay to fall sometimes but don’t fall all the time or you are screwed for REAL!

2. “Can I actually memorize all this? This is A LOT! It seems impossible!!”

  Malay: “Boleh ke aku hafal semua ni? Banyak giler! macam mustahil je!!”

My reply: Nope, it is not impossible and you’ll eventually memorize those because you HAVE to and it is a MUST! If you are the type of person who hates memorizing, I’m sorry to say but welcome to a fun fair where you will enjoy the fun in misery.

3. “I’m screwed. I’m dead.”

  Malay: “Habislah aku! Matilah aku!”

My reply: You are dead,man. I’m sorry but it’s okay. You still have about 3 to 4 lifeline but if you finish all the lifeline being dead…..please try not to do that.

4. “Will I survive this programme?”

  Malay:”Boleh ke aku survive?”

My reply: In shaa Allah you will. This is actually the thing that I worry the most up until now. The question that you will continue to ask yourself again and again. You don’t want to think about it because it literally beyond your control but you can’t help but to wonder endlessly. If you ask me, will I survive this programme? I’ll say I don’t know but I wish I survive in this programme till the end with flying colours. That is my current wish and maybe my constant wish for next 4,5 years.

There are still a lot of common phrases that you might come across being in this programme but I don’t want to be a spoiler although I just spilled a bit. The best experience is the first hand experience. I might not know all of you and you might not know me too and that’s fine. If you do know me, feel free to say hi. I’m friendly most of the time(I guess). Shall you have any inquiries, feel free to comment or send me message!! :D

Lastly, 頑張りましょう！一緒に日本へ行きましょう！（Let’s work hard! Let’s go to Japan                                                                                                             together）
