1st time Back To Taiping

I didnt feature my hostel in the previous entry so here it is, Desasiswa Tekun!:

And of course my faculty, the School of Humanities or Humanidades, as i learnt in my Spanish class lol:


I also bought a new USM bag lol.

It has been a week and the classes have commenced. I've seen my lecturers for this sem and so far most of them seem nice. I repeat, only most of them, not all of them. One of them gives me the creeps. So i decided to 'balik kampung' for the weekend, to settle my PTPTN and also run away from the male Indian freaks and morons who call themselves seniors in USM. They are making my life miserable. Anyway, one of my gf there, Pushpa was leaving to Kulim on Saturday. So i decided to tag along with her till the Butterworth bus station. To get there, we had to take a bus to the Penang Jetty and from there take the ferry and then take a bus to Kamunting from the bus station and then have my dad pick me up to get back home. OMG lol.

Views from the ferry.


I was sitting at the far back inside the bus to Kamunting.

N here let's see. On Friday night at abt 9.30pm went out with Yfong, Amir and Nazu coz it was Nazu's 20th birthday! Happy Birthday Nazu!!! I wasnt able to plan anything coz i just found out abt it on Friday itself plus i was mega tired and lazy. And today at noon, me, Yoshini, Amir and Hezry went to watch Hannah Montana: The Movie. OMG it was soo much more touching than it was funny. Loved it. Especially the Tyra Banks scene and of course Vanessa Williams' acting. N at first i used to not like the song The Climb by Miley Cyrus. Then after giving it a few more listen, i started to like it. But now after watching how the song fit in the movie perfectly, i love it. The song is so much better in the movie than with the music video.

Tyra Banks fighting with Hannah Montana for a pair of shoes lol.

Vita(Vannessa Williams) and Hannah Montana(Miley Cyrus)

After the movie, the four of us went to eat in one of Amir's favourite restaurant called Yut Sun. I didnt like it lol. Not going there again haha. And huhu... going back to Penang tomorrow...

Orientation Conclusion

It's me from USM!!! Orientation week was so much fun. It was the week where everyone was extra friendly, including me. Lol. It was the week in which everyone used the activities organised to assess their batchmates and pick like-minded people, to be called BFs for the rest of ur studies. And through my assessment, which worked thank god, i've found a bunch of loonies that i am proud to call my friends and be a part of a gang with them. They are E-Wan(quiet/clever/friendly) from Sabah, Junior(loony, crazy, naughty) from Sabah, Hafiz (shy) a Taipingite as well, Ashraf(mysterious) from Sarawak, and Abol(expressive) from Penang itself lol. N we also have common frens like Azilah from Sarawak and Desmond from Ipoh. He's actually a long lost friend of mine from St.George's lol. And not forgetting my USM girlfriends, of whom i dont have any pics yet... Here i enclose some of the pics lol:

E-Wan, Junior and Me!

We had so much fun during the orientation week. But one problem would be that the bus service was not to operate during the whole orientation week. So all of us had to walk to the site of all the activities, guided by facilitators called PPSL. The furthest we walked would be to the main hall of USM call Dewan Tunku Syed Putra or DTSP. It's like 40 minutes away by foot. N there of course we had lots of boring speeches. It was so boring that sometimes we fall asleep:

But then again, there were some really fun times. Like we had Cheer Desa competition between hostels, and the live broadcast of Awal Ashari's Generasi Y.

Junior with the Tekun mascot lol.

All the PPSL gathered on stage on the last day of orientation week.

And since orientation week ended on Saturday evening, we went to Tesco Extra in Sungai Dua at night. Lol the only thing that i bought was a packet of plaster that i bought for my toe that got hurt in Tesco 0.o N the next day, on Sunday, we took the bus to Komtar, to meet up with Junior's sister and the one and only Nazrin Puyeh!! I was soo excited. It's been so long since i last saw him. Then we went to Perangin Mall, Pacific and of course Queensbay Mall lol. Then but evening we were back in Tekun. Thanks a lot Nazrin!!

The day before the last day...

Today is the last Badminton Day huhu T.T . So Melmel asked me to bring camera to take pics and keep as memory. I did bring camera but the batteries were already dead it seems haha. So i had to use my okay2 ony camera phone. Lol the results:

After badminton and everything, i went back home to start getting ready to leave the day after tomorrow. But alas, the online temptation won. By afternoon, suddenly Tiko suddenly texted me to come to his small appreciation party. So i helped Tiko a bit by calling a few more friends. But unfortunately, Emma couldnt make it. Some snapshots from the casual dinner party:

ITP, Here Amir Comes!!!

Transformers just came out and of all the movies that i wanted to watch before i left for university, Transformers was the only one i went, thanks to that theatre that never plays all of the good movies. I booked the ticket y'day for me and Amir, and only before leaving for the movie today i found out that Yfong's time slot is the same as mine. So was Khazeman's and Ikhwan's time slot too lol. But we didnt sit in the same row though. The room was soo full. N when i booked y'day it was only like 10% full lol. Major support for Transformers it seems. The movie was as awesome as usual. But sometimes i got confused which was Decepticon and which was an Autobot lol.

WTH am i looking at? lol.

After the movie, everyone just went their own way. Yfong left with the frens, Khazeman also vanished, and Amir and me went window shopping to prepare for our unis. Oh yea, Amir decided not to go to KLMU and is going to ITP instead. After we had enough, we left to go back home.

Kampar's Brat

I've been planning for today since so long. After so many obstacles, i felt that i've had enough. So i persuaded the 2 people whom were interested to go and were free today, Yoshini and Shikin to go to Kampar with me. It's my first time going there and first time driving on the highway. We left Taiping at 8.30am and I drove all the way to Kampar and back. In between we almost got lost in the highway and Kampar but pulled through haha. In Kampar we went to Tesco and New Town. There's like this one cool hotel in Kampar called Grand Kampar Hotel. It's absolutely awesome. Our initial plan was to just visit Keong in Kampar and on the way back stop at any place that seemed interesting, like Ipoh or Yoshini's grandparents house in Jelapang. Lol but little did we know that we'd end up in Gua Tempurung hahaha. It was an awesome cave. The other members of our expedition team were just as friendly as our tour guide haha.

The housing estate in Kampar specially for students... Creepy...

After coming back home at abt 4.30pm, i quickly got ready to visit Maddy with Amir. Walao she served loads n loads of food there. I only ate as much as i can eat haha. After visiting Madam, by 7pm i rushed back home and changed for Praise Korea in Taiping Wesley Church that i planned to go to with Emma. I drove the car as fast as possible and yet reached to her place 20minutes late. From there, we rushed to the church to get a good parking spot and i think we did. But by that time the church was already almost full in the ground floor. So Yfong suggested we sit in the 1st floor. N i think it was a good idea. Watching the concert from upstairs was definitely nice. I knew a few of the songs they sang so it was so fun to sing it together with them. N Pastor Daniel Kim was the best. His past experiences that he shared with us were so touching... After that i sent Emma home and i drove back home.

The Korean band. They were really awesome.


Everyone joining in the spirit.

Happy Birthday Emma!!!

Everyone's putting up the decorations.

The final look before Emma came.

Nat drove Emma exactly to the spot.
Boy was she suprised or wat?

She's making a wish. Aww how cute?

Cutting cake for all of us!

Me and Emma!!!

Fya, Me and Amir!

The attacks of toilet paper haha.

Today is Emma's birthday!!! Happy Birthday Emma!!! Tiko and I have been planning for today for the past few days. So today at abt 3pm, we met up in Tesco to buy some stuff for tonite's party. Lol as we bought everything and headed out, suddenly we bumped into Emma hahaha. She was on the phone. Tiko saw her but i only heard her voice. We quickly ran in opposite directions as far away as possible from her lol and the met back in the car park. We went location scouting and cake buying after that lol.
Later in the nite, all of Emma's bestest frens gathered at Taiping Lake Gardens to celebrate her birthday with a suprise party lol. And everyone joined in and lent their hands to make it a successful one. Major thanks to Fya, Yfong, Bie, Amir, Nat, Tiko and me lol. We just sat on pavement and talked n chatted till it was like 11pm+.
Something weird that happened to us that nite was wiuth a weird guy. He was riding along in his bike across the pavement and when he saw our cake and heard Tiko's friendly gesture, he literally parked his mbike and joined us. N most of us sorta like kept our distance. He was a malay guy and had his eyes on Fya though.. Anyway I was one of the 2 people there (the other one was Tiko) who wasnt that worried abt him. Everyone else's face looked like as if they saw a ghost. I was like =.= . I'm not sure why. Am i good at judging people or am i bad at judging people?
Then came a car, slowly it parked, and from it came out an Indian guy. As fast as lightning my frens started packing. I was like =.= . Then came out 2 girls and another guy. Everyone was like so relieved and continued wat they were doing. Turns out they were going to celebrate Father's Day there too (but they left after a while. Maybe we took their intended spot or something).
My actual point is, y r people so afraid of each other these days? I mean like we r all Malaysians yet we just keep to our fren circle and shut off any communication with anyone else. It doesnt even matter if they start talking to us first these days. People are like "Hey i dunno you. I'm not gonna talk to you. So you shouldnt either. Stop talking to me". I understand my frens were worried bcoz of some irrational action by some dumbass Indians and Malays in Kamunting and Taiping but.. Haizz... I'm speechless.
After that we wanted to go McD so the mbike guy left. The rest of us went McD and played Uno lol.

Leaf Insect?

I've always seen stick insects but never seen a leaf insect live before lol. I havent blogged for a few days ady so using the insect as an excuse haha. It was like perched on the wall near the ceiling.

Well 2 days ago, Thursday, as usual was badminton day. Melmel brought a new galpal and the rest of us were just regulars. Yoshini made a comeback after a few months lol. She just quit work like last week. I drove the car today and picked Yoshini up and returned the car back to my home unscathed lol.
Today, i went on a disposing spree. Dispose off all the old books and papers in the house to rearrange all the needed books. It's one of the things that i have to get done before i leave. And since i'm allergic to dust, i started sneezing like mad straight away. With all that mucus from my nose... omg and with all the itching... But i just braved them all through for the sake of cleanliness lol. I quit hafway though. Decided to continue another day. Took a bath and my allergy settled a bit. Really bad at cleaning up... T.T
