Assalamualaikum!
I haven't updated in such a long while. Yet in my previous posts I did say something about doing weekly reviews, right? Well... Procrastination got the better of me, I admit. But here's the big thing:
I'm out of MADPP and KKTM Lenggong :(
Alhamdulillah, I got the offer to do A-Levels in KYUEM, under Felda's scholarship. Somehow I can see my career path a whole lot clearer with this offer rather than with MARA's, therefore I decided to accept it. Everything was so sudden, I got a call from Felda on 10th, and I immediately left the college on 11th. Not that I really wanted to go impulsively like that, but for some reason it would be convenient for everyone.
There's this emptiness inside me, having to leave Lenggong like that. I am so, so, grateful for all the people I met there. Even though I was only with them for nearly two months, I could already feel like they're a part of my family. A huge part of me. Though I still haven't talked to some of my cohort-mates (some of the guys, sorry!), I know that each and everyone of them are special to me. I'm gonna miss everyone badly. I'm only hoping that all of Cohort 4 will pass their TOEFL and SAT tests, and inshaaAllah, I will be there at the airport to send them off to the US next year.
But for now, here I am, back at home, probably going to waste my time around the house for another four weeks. Cheers.
I might continue doing reviews, if I'm up to it :) Plus, these tasks assigned to me when I was in MADPP are surely the best ways to improve my English, right? I will at least keep the lexicon going :)
This is just a short update, so bye for now! And here are some new words~
1. accolade (n) - an award or an expression of praise
Example: Joe received a trophy from the mayor as an accolade for his bravery.
2. perfidy (n) - the act of betraying someone or something / the state of not being loyal
Example: It is hard for Megan to forgive her boyfriend's perfidy.
3. credence (n) - belief that something is true / the quality of being believed or accepted as something true or real.
Example: I don't really put much credence in tabloids.
4. venerable (adj) - old and respected / valued and respected because of old age, long use, etc.
Example: My grandfather is a venerable man; the villagers always seek him for advice.
5. anomalous (adj) - not expected or usual
Example: Everyone was startled at her anomalous burst of anger.
