From 11\u201313 April 2025, I had the honour of representing DISTED College at the Penang Invitational Judo Championship in Bayan Lepas, where I won gold in the junior women\u2019s -57kg category. The tournament brought together athletes from various Southeast Asian countries and Australia, creating a highly competitive environment that pushed every participant to their limits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

What made this achievement even more meaningful was the timing \u2014 it coincided with the final week of the semester, a period packed with assignment deadlines, project submissions, and intensive revision. Balancing daily training sessions, travel, competition, and academic responsibilities tested my discipline, time management, and mental resilience like never before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Looking back, I am incredibly proud of how I handled the week\u2019s demands. Winning gold under these circumstances has given me renewed confidence as I now turn my full attention to preparing for final exams. My goal remains clear: to graduate with First Class Honours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This experience has been a powerful reminder that resilience, balance, and self-belief are not just ideals, but essential skills for both sport and life. I am grateful to be part of a college that encourages students to excel beyond the classroom, and I am motivated to continue making DISTED proud \u2014 both on the mat and in my academic journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

On Thursday, 24 April 2025, the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) cohort celebrated the successful completion of their examinations and the announcement of their results. The next phase of their education journey begins. Our Counsellors and senior Academics in the Pre-University Programmes have been actively sharing information on the various pathways available, whether project-based or examination-based.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0This weekend, on 3 and 4 May, the sharing continues at the Malaysia Education Fair (MEF) at SPICE. Colleges and universities will compete for the best students, while students will compete for limited places at top institutions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0Meanwhile, on campus, our Pre-University STEM team hosted the Penang State Physics Olympiad Test at the Heritage Hall. Our student, Teng Jia Xin, has been selected to represent Malaysia at the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics in Mumbai this August.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0Our Kelab Penyayang representatives also participated in the National-Level competition in Kuala Lumpur, pitching for seed funding to start a social enterprise on autism, competing against 25 other colleges and universities. Come visit us at MEF at SPICE this weekend.\u00a0<\/span>
