Reserve Officer Training Unit (ROTU)

In a busy day of registration of university admission, in my mind just thinking about when I can sign up for the Reserve Officer Training Unit (ROTU) which I found out that the unit is available in UiTM Arau Campus. After finishing the morning session which enrolled course and hostel registrations, my mom and my dad had sent me to my temporary accommodation. I was told that in the afternoon then I can sign up for ROTU, I need to rest well because I can feel that the registration is not as easy as filling the registration form only. After sending mom and dad at the gate, melancholy face emitted from the face of my dear mom. Leaving her eldest son wandering far, it ought to make her sad. However, what can I do. The important thing is I have to convince them that I can take care of myself and be independent even being far away from them.



The time finally arrived, I rushed to the hall for registration. My guess turned out right. After filling the form, we have been instructed to change to the sports wear and regroup within 15 minutes (if I'm not mistaken). Once assembled, we went through a fitness test which we must pass to advance to the the next level. Luckily I passed. Now to the the next level, the IQ test. I have passed both tests together with about 60++ students. Although education was a priority, training is a subject which I was waiting for. Here is my love story begins.


Despite the painful sacrifices of the training, I had scout a girl in my squad. Far behind the robustness training, I saw the beauty and tenderness of her heart. I have seen her in my dreams before, she became my wife in that dream. This is strange, I'm not even know and never saw her before at that time. I began to know her but what could I do, I found out that she also have been targeted by one of my squad where I was too late to convey my feelings because they have already started communicating with each other. Maybe she is not my soul mate, I had to forget all my feelings. However, I still haunted by the strange dreams that she was to be my wife



The relationship between my squad with her is still not finalize. Their relationship so far only as normal friends. Apparently, there is a chance for me to get her heart. I found out that she would be transferred to Shah Alam Campus next semester, but I still do not know how should I begin to approach her. First saw her outside the training is when we share the same venue for the final examination for BEL200, I was stiff to say even a word. That was my last exam for the semester, and I knew after that I will not see her again because that afternoon mom and dad would pick me back, and next semester she has been in Shah Alam. In the stiffness, I gave her my call card. She just smiled and left after the invigilator began to call everyone to enter the examination hall. That was the last time I saw her in Arau Campus but I still could not express my feeling to her.
