Finally

I finally managed to hack into my account after an hour of labour. And guess what? I found out I actually have two accounts, registered under different email addresses. That was why it took me so long. I had to figure out my email passwords as well. Why didn't they tell me sooner? Geez. Technology. You would've thought that they'd created some programme for people like me.
And so I'm finally here. It's been awhile since I last wrote something other than academic stuff so I reckon I'm extremely rusty. So first post, first day. Haha..I'm having some time off my studies thanks to the end sem break. My first semester in ukm has been...well... eventful to say the least.

First week- TORTURE in 3M
The biggest challenge. Trying to fit in. I can still remember vividly how I spoke almost 20 words in one day! And I was so afraid I'll go mute. Gosh. All I heard around me was Mandarin and Malay. I tried to learn a little bit but it was weird. I felt so homesick for my friends in Ipoh if not for my beloved hp, I think I woudn't have survived. And I think around the 4th day, guess what? I heard ...to my amazement English! So I did what any sane human being would do. I turned around, faced the people stuck out my hand and introduced myself. Haha...and life was so much better after that.

Second week - Almost death in Ulu Sepri
Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. (Thanks YeeMing ) But, but...though the jungle trek was scary. (I fell a couple of times and had to hold on to a tree and there was a ravine right below!) The greatest horror was the lack of network. No connection. Can you believe it? An entire week without any knowledge of the outside world. And I survived it all. I'm so proud of myself. *applause* =p

First month - Nightmare with the C
My first formative assessment. Aaaarggghhh...I was so super blur with the new material and exam format (a more distinguished way to say that I was very bodoh) that I managed the unmanageable. I got a C. When I told my fwens here in Ipoh, they laughed at me! Hahaha... But it was a good learning experience. At least now I know it can't get any worse!

After that - It wasn't that bad
Life finally begins! What with amazing buddies like my roommate, Jean, Ru Hui, Yan Chin, Poh Jeann, Su Yan, Si Ling, Sze Wern, Sharen, Rou Yun, and the whole row of 4th floor, block A, KTSN! Starting to get used to communal bathrooms and toilets, though the more in depth discussion on these issue would be elaborated in my next post. And I....well....I.....just have one major complaint, besides the lack of internet connection, no mamak stalls, terrible, unhygienic food.....i just can't stand the CATS! Cats, cats everywhere. Cats on your slippers, cats in the bathrooms, cats in dustbins, cats on the corridors, cats in front of your room, cats IN your room, cats in your most scary nightmares, cats when you wake up, cats when you sleep, cats in your hallucinations in between pages of pharmacology, cats, cats.....and...did I mention, cats?
In conclusion, life here in ukm...is not really that bad..In fact, I'm actually beginning to enjoy it..=p
