Besut-ian in INTEC

Assalamualaikum and Hi.

I love being from Besut. For those who don't know, Besut is at Terengganu. But, the uniqueness of Besut is it is located at borderline of Terengganu and Kelantan. Our dialect, of course a mix of both. Some words are from Terengganu but in a slang of Kelantanese. Among ourselves, we said we talk in a Besut dialect and we are proud of it. Football? I would say that I support both T-Team and Red Warrior. I know that all Besut people are like that. But when T-Team and TRW went in head-to-head in a match, I give my support to Terengganu (because, if we win, we may get a day off school.. hehe). Next, I would say Besut people are very welcoming. At school, we received some student from KL with open hands. We teaches them to speak Besut and how to live here. However, I want to appeal my dissatisfaction about the Terengganu districts ignoring Besut. We are called 'di anak tiri'. It happens all the time. For example, during a state competition, Besut, unwillingly had disadvantage of picking the last number or not receiving any claps. Well, we know that we speak in a Kelantan dialect but we still a part of Terengganu. But, we, Besut-ian redha with all of that.

So, what is it life as a Besut-ian in INTEC, home of hundreds of intelligent students from all over Malaysia? Take note that I telling this story in perspective of a rookie student.

Well, I am very prepared coming here in every aspect but one aspect that I forgot is my dialect. I forgot that here, people speaks KL. So, there was me struggling to speak KL. I would say that my Kelantan dialect is extinguishable(for now). Every time I had a conversation at the MDS, people would had a tiny laugh and asks, "Are you from Kelantan?". And I was like, "Maybe... but I'm from Terengganu... besut to be exact... We do speak a bit kelantan dialect". What a long answer for a simple question. Besides, I'm a bit suprised that most of people's conversation is in English!!! I thought we are still in Malaysia. But I don't blame them because they need to practice since they are going to fly to US in two more long years. Hehehe. But I'm okay with that since I was not too bad in English after all.

Making friends is what I'm struggling right now. I shouldn't be worry since I've only been here for a week but my family and friends back home is very worried for me. They said, don't walk alone. Ask a friend to accompany you. What friend?!?! I don't have any... yet. I hope I'll make plenty for the time being. Please take care of me, new friends. 😇😇

"If you want to go to shopping mall, you can take the KTM", said the PM.
"Oooo", said my groupmates.
And I was, (in my mind) "What the heck is KTM?".
And I went home to search 'K.T.M' and finally find out it's a train. Well, we surely don't have a KTM in Besut. So, I was hoping to find a friend and went to KL with her in a KTM.
