Complex Feeling

I have not been updating my blog for ages. Not that I'm lazy but I'm affraid that if I write my blog in my hostel, it would make me feel even homesick. Honestly, I still have some feeling of homesick while I'm staying in Shah Alam. Seems like I am the only one who does not adapt well to my new environment yet.

Never know why I started to have this kind of homesickness after the Raya break. Maybe after that break, that was not any more break for us. Six weeks for me to endure unlike as usual, we are so lucky to have 'H1N1 break' out of a sudden, Mid-sem break which is only a few weeks ahead of the 'H1N1 break', August break and the Raya break. This semester, I would say has the most holidays. So, I got used to it and when suddenly there's a long way before holiday, I started to feel that I have lost something - connection with family.

Everyday, there must be a moment when I thought of my family, everyday. I wonder what are my family members doing right now? Where are they? Are they happy? Is every thing OK at home? All sorts of feelings shower on me.

However, this can be a very good training for me to be independent, to rely on myself and to take care of myself. I'm a quiet kind of person so I don't usually express my feelings out. In other words, I keep it to myself. Now, I realize how important family is and I cherish my family very much.

I'm glad now I'm back in Penang. I could not decribe my feeling on the day of my return by flight. It's beyond the description of words. I boarded Firefly's FY 2086 flight from Subang to Penang. The exitement and exhilaration took over my body. I can feel home closer to me at that moment.

This Saturday I'm going for a vacation with my family. The destination will be revealed on my next post and if possible with photos from my vacation. :)

To conclude,
appreciate everything we have right now (family, friends, pets, environment, etc.)

First In My Lifetime: On the 5th of September

On the 5th of September, was my first public bus ride in my entire lifetime.
T602
We (I and my roommates) initially wanted to have lunch nearby after sending our clothes at the laundry shop. However due to Ramadhan month, no shops were selling any food. Even the Malay stalls that I mentioned in my previous post were not doing any business.

So, there it goes. My first ride on Rapid KL to Section 2 Shah Alam. The bus was really 'rapid'. XD. Quite scared. Overall, the condition of the bus is OK to me; not too crowded, ample seats available, thank God we don't have to stand. Just that you can see grafittis on the back of the seats in front of you. :P

We went to KFC in Section 2 to have our lunch. Then Mok said he wants to buy birthday cake for Kai Ming. So we searched nearby Section 2 but there was not even a bakery.

We asked the taxi drivers and the pak cik said maybe we can find it at PKNS there. So, there we go shopping cum buying birthday cake with my sleeping tracksuit on and an umbrella. How cool was I...=.=

We were so 'special' in PKNS. As we were the only four chinese in the mall. Since we were already at Section 2, we went to SACC Mall as well, which is far far far better than PKNS.

But on the way back, we did not take any bus ride anymore. haha.
So, I shall see when will be my next public bus ride. :)

Special Sizzling Saturday in Section Six

I think this is my first blog written in my room, 2/209 Kolej Kediaman Cendana. Initially, we spent the whole day studying Biology as the test is on next Thursday. Hmm, I wonder how hard will the topic test be. Only now I realized that my speed of study is so slow, 10km/h. There is a lot of things to study for the first topic!

I can say that we did not study for the morning as we only woke up at 11 something. :P Wasted the beautiful morning...

All of us went for lunch near the 'pasar' where there are lot of 'beautiful' and 'elegant' 'mak cik's greeting you.

"Makan dik. Makan ke bungkus dik? Ada nasi goreng, ayam goreng panas-panas dik. Mai makan"

It's always like that. So be used to it.

And just now at night, we heard a kitten's sound outside our door. It really turned out to be a tabby kitten! I thought it must be very hungry and as a pet lover, I couldn't left it just like that. The kitten seemed know how to grab peoples' attention. It meowed until almost everyone staying on the same floor came out to have a look.

Then, someone brought a Dutch Lady packet milk for it. LOL. The kitten really liked it and licked the milk on the floor. It is really cute. One more thing that makes it even lovely is that it likes to hide under my pants while I was squatting. Maybe I have the smell of cats??? But to me, I think it feels safe to be with me. :P

After having it's supper, the kitten sleeped peacefully and soundly, not soundly la. haha.

Alright, let's let the picture do the talking...

A new leaf

Finally, after about a year I had 'launched' this blog, It's time to 'turn over a new leaf' for my blog. :P

As a college student, life is not as easy as we thought. Although we have more freedom and 'liberty', it is time we control ourselves, not others who are goin to control us. In fact, been controlled by others is even better in my opinion. This is because if we have to control ourselves, there are so much temptations out there that are trying to lure us. Argh! It's a hard training for us, perhaps.


It's too late right now, I'll try to update it while I have my mid-sem break soon.

A new step in my life

On the 28th of June, marked a new step in my life. I'm about to be a college student. Although it sounds very wonderful to most of the students as they think that college life is full of freedom, no more bound by discipline or scoldings by teachers, a college student need to be very self-disciplined in the sense of academic as well as their responsibility.

My new college or also known to all JPA scholars as our Preparatory Centre before we fly to various destination to continue our studies is called INTEC (International Education Centre). It is one of a campus under the wing of UiTM. I would say that INTEC is a very condusive place for students to study there especially thier new RM 11million-worth library. O.O

Alright, let's get back to the first day I registered myself as a student in INTEC. All our activities on the first day were located in our hostel only which is Kolej Cendana in Seksyen 6, Shah Alam. There were a mixture of fear, worries and anxiety when I was in the Kolej waiting patiently for the registration to start and for my friends to arrive. As soon as the registration started, my friends and I went to the appropriate counter to register for our apartment unit, get the INTEC's T-shirt and many more. We get to choose our own roommates as long as all are from the same programme. I am in the A-Level Medicine (ALM) Programme. This year marks the 10th batch of ALM so we are all categorised under ALM10.

The next day, it's the official opening of the MMS (Minggu Mesra Siswa). We were all divided into groups during the 'group-binding' session. I was grouped under ALM16 and that's God's mighty power that bring me and others together and be friends for the rest of our life. Throughout the whole MMS, we played games, attended psychology talks and listened to speech by JPA officers as well as the director of INTEC. The Fa-C (facilitator) were very helpful and friendly in terms of clarifying our doubts and made us feel like at home. They were also very entertaining such as they thought of the funny 'tepukan senyum malu'. xD The most important was the Malam MMS. It can be assumed as the end of the MMS. There were sketches, dance and cheers by various programme and all of them really rocks.

I am now studying in the class called 10M9. There are about 60 students that will be going to Manipal University studying in INTEC. My classmates could mix up well with everyone and it makes me easier to befriend with them. The lecturers are very friendly as well. The condusive study envionment, friendly lecturers and helpful classmates really boost my mood to study in INTEC.

Last Thursday, Manipal Univeristy even came to give us a talk about our study route and some introduction to the university. From there only I knew that our first angkasawan, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor is an alumni from Manipal University as well!

Overall, it's nice to be in INTEC as I could learn to be independent and become more responsible and mature in my thinking as well as in whatever I do. I won't be updating this blog very often until my mid-sem break which is on the 22nd to 31st of Aug. See ya all then!

P/S: I miss Penang's food so much!!!
