When Shera asked me to forward my resume to her on March 5 (Friday), I immediately did so. I did not do much thinking, I just attached my resume in the e-mail and clicked 'Send'. Mere minutes later, I found out that I was accepted into the program and that I was supposed to register on March 8 (Monday). A very sudden thing. My reasoning for not stopping to think it through, it's not like I have anything much to do at home. For the past few months prior to enrolling with BeST program, I was pretty much a couch potato, apart from managing my online blogshop (read: online shopping via weblogs) that was recently launched at the end of January this year. Business was good, but not to the extent that I was constantly in front of the computer replying e-mails from buyers.
So when Monday came, I got up early and grudgingly joined the morning rush hour. The STAR LRT coach from Ampang was packed to the max but there's nothing I could do except to try to survive the crowd. Getting off the STAR LRT train at Masjid Jamek to switch to Putra LRT line was a breeze. It's the loooong walk in the tunnel towards Putra LRT station that was quite a challenge, especially if you are wearing brand new pumps with non-rubberized soles, trying not to skid while walking. However, the thought of the fact that Dang Wangi Putra LRT station is only one stop away from Masjid Jamek kept me walking.
Once I reached Dang Wangi, Shera was already waiting for me to walk with me to CapSquare. I am embarassed to say that I have never walked around Kuala Lumpur on foot before, even though I have lived in KL all my life.It took us only 7 minutes or so to step our foot in CapSquare, where 2 of them were spent waiting for the traffic light to turn to 'LINTAS', so that we could get to the other side of the road where CapSquare is located at.
When I was walking alongside the CapSquare building, my first thought was, "Why is this place so empty?" Yes it's a given that it's an early Monday morning, but shouldn't a university compound be filled with students and lecturers alike? That morning, I did not anyone else apart from myself, Shera and the security guard at the lobby. Not even a janitor in sight! The atmosphere was very calm and activity-less, which I was not accustomed to, as where I studied before (IIUM Kuantan), there were a LOT of people around at any one time. I was extremely puzzled with this, but I decided to just go with it.
Once I have registered myself into the program with Encik Muzaffar, one of the coordinators, I entered my first BeST class.
What happened during the rest of the week? Well, that's a story for the next post!
