The house of my heart

my figurative second home, college
coming home from college!

I visit you at dawn,
As dusk runs in,
I traveled back pass the dark,
Heading back to the nest.

I love the place where I came to see you,
Time and whereabouts you took ripped away,
Pleasure was all that consumed me,
A fountain of love was all i had.

Knowledge and mystery came pouring in,
Trying to scoop up everything i could,
Filling up the emptiness in mind,
Because of you MY SECOND HOME

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

p/s This song came to my mind when I first entered Taylor's Lakeside campus

The prettiest little things in life!

Live life to the fullest while in college



Gaining sweet college memories in life


Friends in college are like never ending strings




Aim HIGH, Sky HIGH!





Being ecstatic over college! Who wouldn't feel that way right? Maybe if you are just paranoid. I'm just saying. NOT directing to anyone in particular. Having a blast in my college life so far in the Taylors Lakeside campus. This place in particular will be a place where i will remember most. A piece of a memory will i keep in my heart. My heart is a house. Things come and go but the ONE stays the same. In college, i made so many new friends. Taylors Lakeside campus is the best place i thought. After college, we always "chill" at ASIA CAFE! Somehow, i feel that the people in the Taylors Lakeside campus are really supportive. We care for one another in ways that can't be explain. We are just born with that instinct. Like a protective eagle that looks after
it's eggs until it's chicks hatchets. A maternal instinct is thus truly can be compared to the caring instinct that we have in our hearts. We are born with it. We display it. Even though Our naked eyes can't see it, others can see it. Even the smartest man on earth will also can't explain why? only god knows.


This will be a shout out to Rachel Abraham. Just the other day, i was down to some silly reason. It haunted me for years. This was how it goes...


Rach: "Hey Jess... Are you okay? I mean like seriously? You can tell me anything? I know that you are NOT okay "



**********she said it with mush care and sincerity*************** (i hope so!)


Hence, i told her my story and she gave me some advices. I miss those days in school where you can pour out all your feelings to especially our best friends and girlfriends for sure. I thought that it was impossible for me to find that "one." Well, maybe I have found it. I was glad. Having people in college that we can rely on is thus a great gift. Friends come and go BUT the true ones stays. Building up that foundation of trust in a friend is a MUST. It's not what you can make of it but what you can bring to the table. Friends overlook our flaws and they try to bring the best in us. Why not try and start to make friends is Taylors lakeside campus. Not just one but a dozen. WELL, why say so?


No one appreciates what is in store front of them. They just take everything for granted. What if time had ran out for you? Have you ever thought of that? What you wanted to do? Any regrets in life? Take every opportunity. Live life to the fullest. We only have one chance to live. Why waste it? Take a chance in life. Don't be afraid. Face your fears. If you have been afraid to start college. Well. Congratulations to you! YOU ARE IN COLLEGE NOW. Take one step at a time. Then continue onwards.


In connection with that statement, why not start keeping and recording wonderful memories while in college. In Taylors lakeside, with a blink of an eye, we won't be in college anymore. We are just speck of dust, trying to live a life BUT not wondering about the future and what we are made of! We are not born to this world and die just like that. Just i have said, One chance to live, One chance to make the BEST of it. Not just the minimum level but to our very best. With much sweat and blood, the effort we put, succeed and making our way in and out of college. We are then making a big step in life. Taylors Lakeside campus is thus the place where we ought to go. Leaving our mark there and moving ahead. "When a tiger dies, it will never loses it's stripes, When a man dies, he will never lose (WHAT?) guess yourself?" Think this phrase out and you will learn the true meaning behind it!


Hence, while I'm still in Taylors lakeside with a place with full of bliss and wonder, i want to treasure every moment that i will encounter when i am Taylors lakeside. No one will know what we will encounter right? It will just happen in front of our very eyes. Rather than being such a pessimist, I want to keep in mind of all the optimistic things that i want to have in my life. A place that i can look back next time in my golden age. Even though this may sound cheesy, trust me! I will never ever will regret with what i have said. Taylors Lakeside campus will always have a place in my heart. The prettiest things in life are the hardest to get rid of!


''One step at a time,
There's no need to rush,
It's like learning to fly,
Or falling in love,
It's going to happen,
If we find the reason WHY,
ONE STEP AT A TIME!"

The grass is always greener on the other side

stepping in to college
taylors lakeside campus #1

taylors lakeside #2


I always thought that college was just a mere place where we go and come back during our schooling days.
"Isn't it amazing that you are going to college soon?" that what's everyone was when everyone eager to go to after completing our high school. Well, everyone thought that college life was better and would give us more freedom beyond our expectation. SADLY, all of these notations are beyond false. It's rubbish in a matter of fact. I never knew that stepping in to college was a big step for me to take yet complicating. I had to face many obstacles and peer pressure. Anyways, i do not want to filled you up with my rants and raves BUT I'll just give you the gist of it.


While looking through the bundles of college brochures, i stumbled upon
limkokwing university pamphlets. Since my cousin did went there before and she was successful in life. That confident of hers gave me the inspiration to study there as she ALWAYS entered all sorts of competitions. She was like a reflection of me, a competitor. Maybe the lecturers have not seen that side of me while i always put on a clog of another person. In order that no one knew what had been instilled inside me, the fire of a fighting spirit. Achieving all my goals in life. For example, becoming an advertiser or a broadcaster. Who knows? It only depends one's life and base on one's decision, YES me!



Coming back to that pamphlets that is stumbled upon, soon enough. Somehow, the banners that i always see while on the road captivated my attention. YES, true enough, it was the TAYLORS LAKESIDE ADVERTISEMENT. The view and the scenery of the place was what everyone dreamt of. I loved the place, another bonus, the education was said to be good as there were many praises directed to that particular place and lecturers. Having such a scattered brain, i couldn't make up my mind where to go at first. Hence, I decided to go to limkokwing university. That place blew me away. It was big, in a middle of nowhere, extremely god gifted looks all around, the building was covered mostly in black. Well, u may assume that this place was like a funeral parlour BUT to me, it was like a haven, black was my favourite colour. Hence, I went and registered there surprisingly.



Well, now u may wonder why I am in Taylors Lakeside University College anyways! I'm sure you do since I've been praising limkokwing university at the beginning. This is how the story goes. After registering to that 'particular' university, i had many bad reviews even though there were good reviews to. In general, the cons ALWAYS AND WILL outweigh the pros. Even though I wished that it was the other way round, that is life! isn't it? I'm not trying to bad mouth about that unversity ok. Don't get me wrong. I might continue my masters there if time allows.





From the previous paragraph at the latter part, i said that the banner that was hanged by the roadside REALLY did captivated me. I was appalled by the many hectares of land, the tall buildings, the facility they had to offer and so. At first, i thought that MY CURRENT university college at first was some sort of a resort. BUT now, that perception of mine had changed 360 degrees completely. Hands down!



*******along the way, i decided to go to taylors due to unforeseen occurrence*********



Back to where we left, yes. It was like a luxurious dungeon, a big educational building that keeps students in a temporary prison BUT the teachings there are superb, beyond words. Till now, i can still recall what my lecturer has taught me till now! Oh yeah.. There's a lake, a grass bed that looks like a chess board, a platform which looks like a dock. Figuratively speaking, it was actually a good prison where they keep students and mould them in to a perfect human being!



Even the grass is always greener on the other side, but there is always it's disadvantages.
THE TAYLOR'S BUS is killing me! even though i take the first bus or so, i always end up late in college or exactly on time! I despise being late as punctuality is my mine priority. This service didn't do much well with me, but with no choice ahead. I had to stick with the shuttle bus and be grateful for what they had to offer! since i do not want to travel on foot. NO WAY. Not in a million years. Even a stack of cash will not able to persuade me to walk. BUT the best thing is, all of my lecturers are such a wonder. They are awesome in a way that they are flexible and i ALWAYS have to explain why I am late like a broken record

"Sorry teacher I'm late
(yes, i prefer calling them teacher than being formal) the Taylors bus LA!" that is what i always whined about. Even though I'm early, somehow I'll end up late in college. Such a piste



Moving away from such pandemic issues,
grrr.... Taylors college do have their advantages to! I'm not a pessimist for a start. Well, they offer great accommodation, a place to lounge, a four-storey library, a lot of clubs and activities and many more. Such offers are such great benefits, you know why? Rather than being stuck with the stacks and stacks of books, being buried alive in it without enjoying one's life, her teenage life! yes, my life with all the stress. Students can release their stress by enjoying themselves in such clubs and etc. As we have heard many times repeatedly, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" For my case, "All work and no play makes Jesseca wants to suicide" You know why! Research has shown that almost 70% of college students suicide or get depressed due to extreme pressures. Well, since I've been to Taylors Lakeside till now, as I have said, the Lecturers are the best, they won't put the pressure on us but gave us some advice and tell us the consequences that we might face with any decision we make. It is up to us, either we want to build ourselves up or just deteriorate ourselves.



Promoting ourselves to a working class rather than being demoted in to such a pest, we MUST do our best in whatever we do. We cannot depend on our breadwinner in the long run somehow. We don't want to burden them. Hurt their feelings and so on. BUT, we want to make them proud, lift their heads high up, make their heart glad, repay their gratitude, all the sacrifices they made for us even though we cannot see with our naked eyes, it will be all worth it. YES, I was mentioning about our parents and guardian. The people that surrounds us will be filled with joy when we succeed to. YES, i have no regrets studying in taylors lakeside campus. It is the best. The people are friendly, the lecturers are nice, the education there is good and what's more? Find out for yourself. Trust me, you will be appalled and that cheerful stream will come surging in you! Who knew that college life will be extraordinay!



TAYLORS LAKESIDE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE is the BEST EDUCATIONAL CENTRE!
