FRIENDS(PART 3)

FRIENDS(Part 3)

Hello there once again my friends. W meet again again in on of my new entry on CERITERA MARKAZ. Hahahah, isn't the name of the kind of weird. Well, more accurately it's rather unique as it is named after the fabulous cadets of DNS 26 Echo. Yup, you guessed it correctly, as the topic we are going to discuss today is about my lifelong comrades in Malaysian Maritime Academy(ALAM). As it is sad to say that this will be my 'last part' for the FRIENDS entry, i'm also glad that i'm finishing it with my memories with my friends. Sooooooo, follow me dive even deeper and to find more about my ALAM friends.

It has been approximately 9 months since I joined ALAM, and ever since that, even though there has been some hardships for me to settle down and make myself comfortable, it is my friends I got here that helped me to exceed my limits and made every moments of  my life over here more and more interesting. As usual the first week was all bout ice breaking, introduction to the Maritime field and industry, rules and regulations of ALAM, expectation of management and sponsors and of course games and physical training. Throughout that week, the bond between us become strengthened thanks to the exiting activities organised by our seniors. In the end the induction week was pretty fun as all of us were divided into 13 classes on the last day.

The class that I got into was DNS 26 ECHO. Now here is where the fun begins. At first we never knew for ourself that this class was filled with weird ones. As days go by, we were sure that we are going to be one crazy of class. All of us were very sporting and made sure that whatever we were assigned to we did it together. Good or bad was a second matter, but it was full of all our ideas. Then one a name became famous among us, it was ECHOSALUTE. Hahaha, it was suppose to be the call sign for our gang. It sure was funny at first, but later on began to use this particular call sign to support our class for all kinds of events, activities and even put it on our class shirt. At first, it was 24 of us but at the end of 2019 we were reduced to 21. Some of our classmates decided to quit and wanted to choose another path of their interests. We were sad but delighted to had them in our life in ALAM for a short period of time, not to mention we are still in contact with each. It is, a new year and a new semester, but one thing never changed was the strength of our bond, our love for each other and of course our ever rising mischief. 

Apart from my class friends, there also my roomies, club friends, and of course the gang we usually hangout with. Apparently, it wasn't that hard to find new friends, it's just that you have to be you and people who are interested in you will socializing with you. Now, that is also something I learned from my friends over here.

Other than that, there has been some outing activities time to time organised by our lectures and the management. For example, there was this marching competition in conjunction to National Day Celebration on 31 August 2019, temple visit for Indian students, and outing for toastmaster club members. S, during these times, apart from already known friends, we also get to know about other cadets in that particular group. This has one of the reason for our whole batch to be cooperative and sporting most of the time. Moreover, I don't know about girls' hostel, but we boys tends to be super active and fun most of the time. That is one reason for our hostel to be merrier 24/7.

It is hard to come by good hearted person these days, so if mange to find someone as pure as that never ever hurt or lose them.One best book is equal to hundred good friends but one good friend is equal to a library.That is also for my FRIENDS entry. Remember, Always Love Yourself.

Bye.
