FollowThis is the year that Alycia hit multiple milestones. In February, she sat for her SPM exam amid a pandemic. After her SPM exam, she worked for the first time in her life – as a temporary teacher at an international pre-school. In May, she sat for an online Undang-Undang (theory for driving) at the height of a worsening pandemic at the driving academy’s headquarters. She passed the Undang-Undang test but days later, our country plunged into a total lockdown. Driving schools were closed and her driving lessons have been on hold.
On Monday this week Alycia started her Foundation in Art program at Sunway College and the next day, she received her first dose of Covid-19 vax (Pfizer).
I must thank my childhood friend for helping me get the vaccine appointment for Alycia. Currently, only those 18 years and above will be given the Covid-19 vaccine. Alycia is only turning 18 this December.
The vaccine appointment at PPUM was a walk in the park for us. Everything was done in half an hour. Alycia did not even wait for 15 minutes at the post vax observation area as she wanted to get out of the centre to continue with her online orientation.
Thank God Alycia did not suffer much from the side effects of the vax apart from a very sore arm and feeling a little sleepier than usual.
I advised Alycia to keep her options open on her choice of undergraduate degree. She intends to study Mass Comm (Advertising) but I think she’s more suited for Computer Science. One of the advantages of the Foundation in Arts course at Sunway College is students have the option to choose a wide range of undergraduate degree of their choice from Computer Science to Psychology, Business, Accounting and many more.
