MAW Dinner Experience in UKM

The new semester at UKM had just begun, and everything still felt unfamiliar. I had just settled into Kolej Ibu Zain, a place that would become my temporary home while studying in UKM. It was my first week in Malaysia and first time I joined MAW or orientation week in UKM.

First day of MAW, all of us as a KIZ resident were gather in Dewan Sutera which is the big hall in KIZ. In the hall we attended opening ceremonial of the MAW. Actually, this is my first time attended orientation day in one of university in Malaysia. 

The highlight came when me and my friend had the chance to take photos with the Naib Canselor of UKM, pengetua Kolej Ibu Zain, and if I’m not mistaken the man using red batik is like head of KMUKM. I felt a meaningful sense of pride. It was the kind of moment that makes me feel like I’m really part of something bigger and it was surprisingly joyful.

What made the day unforgettable wasn’t just the ceremony or the dinner, but the people. I met new friends from different parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, and even China. Though we came from different backgrounds and places, we were all starting the same journey together. There was curiosity, laughter, awkward introductions, and the excitement of knowing that friendships might grow from these first encounters.

First Impression to UKM

Image
I have came to UKM before decided to pursue my study here and it’s around July 2025. At that time I already received some offer letter from another 2 university in Malaysia. So, before I decided to choose which university that fit to me I came to the 2 university that accepted me and UKM. UKM is the first university that I visited that time and suddenly I fell in love with the campus environment. I feel very comfortable to walk around UKM and I can say the campus environment is really into me.  So, after the first time I came to UKM and I decide to choose this university. Even there is a lot of monkey around here but, it’s not a big problem for me. The campus environment is very calm and green. In another hand UKM located a bit far from central of city. For me, who since born and rise in a big city it has very different condition of the nature. I also love to doing sport such jogging, golf, playing tennis, and some more. This campus provides a healthy environment for people who lov...

Being Part of PPI UKM

Image
  The year 2026 began with a new chapter and a decision that felt both exciting and meaningful. After months of joining events, meeting fellow Indonesians, and forming friendships, I finally chose to take a step further by becoming an official member of PPI UKM.  I applied and was accepted into the Intellectual Division, a branch that focuses on academic programs, knowledge-sharing, and development activities. For me, it was a source of pride, because not only I could contribute something useful, but also because it meant I was becoming more involved in the Indonesian community abroad. Starting the year with this new responsibility made 2026 feel promising. It marked not only the beginning of a new academic life but also the beginning of a journey filled with opportunities, challenges, and stories that would eventually become valuable memories. Joining PPI was more than just an organizational choice, it became a reassuring reminder that even far from Indonesia, we could still ...
