Life in Labuan Matriculation College: 1st Day of Registration

    It's been almost three months since I enrolled in KML(Kolej Matrikulasi Labuan). Now I'm nearing the end of my holidays but I still wanna share my experiences there. ^^

20/5/2012

    I went by early flight. More than half of the passengers were students. Upon reaching Labuan International Airport, we were welcomed by a reception group with banner. We didn't have to worry about transport because the college prepared buses to collect students along with parents from ferry terminal and airport during registration days. 

   At my first sight of KML I was like 'wow....' The campus was huge and it seemed like there was a carnival going on. The parking lots, hall and waiting area were seriously crowded. That time it was 10am. No doubt those early birds either came by ferry or already reached Labuan few days earlier. 

   Students must wear long-sleeved shirt with necktie and long pants (for boys) or 'baju kurung' (for girls). All must wear black formal shoes, and remember to cut your nails. All those rules and regulations can be found in KML website. Those who were not 'formal' enough were not allowed to register. 

   Registration took me two hours, and mine was considered very smooth already. Those without complete documents needed even longer time. After registration, students got their matric cards and headed off to their dorms. 

   If you wanna live on ground floor, come real early. If you wanna live on fourth floor (highest), come real late. >< I think that middle is the best. However, 1st floor life can be rather unfortunate in terms of drying clothes, because you'll have water dripping from 2nd, 3rd & 4th floors onto your clothes. Thus, most would buy large plastic sheets to cover their clothes. 

   The student hostels are quite nice, kinda like apartments. Four would share a room, two Sabahans, two Sarawakians & two Muslims, two non-Muslims. The room conditions are better than I expected, though too bad there is no air conditioner (asking too much XD)

   There is no problem with water supply, but occasionally there are pipe problems. Electricity, hmm..... Just don't use high-voltage stuffs or too many electrical appliances at one time if you don't want blackout ^^ 

  All in all, I think you'll love KML
