Long story short, I GRADUATED!
Uh, just in case, let me introduce myself again for the new readersー I did my four years degree in Japanese University :D (If you are interested in how I got into this uni, you can look here). And alhamdulillah, I finally got my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical and Electronics Engineering this March 2025.
Honestly, it was just a blink of an eye! 17 years old me would never think of studying abroad, in Japan at that. (Well, now I am a legal 23 years old...) But the God's plan was bigger than mine. I was never an otaku, neither a weeb before, let alone a person who knows much about Japan. It's just that I wanted to learn a new language along the way BUT I never thought that I would need to get her degree in my third language (or we could say forth if you want to consider indonesian too LOL) (It is basically a scam, my friend.)
It is just so funny to think about it again because my high school friends know how much I love studying English, and also English was my all-time fav subject during elementary and high school (real) but despite that, I thought that English was too overrated that I had chosen a country which most of the citizens have low proficiency in that language; Japan. Yes, that's exactly how I ended up in Japan after getting flying colors for my SPM in 2018.
Japan was wonderful, but I would say it's kind of hard to mix in when you're a social anxious person but things do get better every time. It's real, practice makes perfect. I begin to appreciate people's existence better than before. Anyways, here are some pictures from the d-day!
Me wearing Hakama - the traditional clothing of Japanese!
With them Malaysian international students from the same department.
Another picture with Malaysian students from the same batch graduating from the same university.
That's all for now. Maybe in the next post I will share some details about graduating from a Japanese University because well, I think it's quite different from Malaysia University system hahaha. So yep, till then!
Floostar.
