Salut.
It has been two weeks since I registered as an undergraduate student here and everything's alright so far. I don't mean it as there's no problem here and there, but I am surviving and still breathing.
Regarding my uni, I prefer not to insert its name because I don't like it if my blog pops up whenever people google my uni so can we just leave it there? (I mentioned it a few times before in my previous posts if you're wondering)
So far, I think I'm ok here. I don't have to worry about the internet because they provide the students with two options to surf the net 1. Monthly data (wifi) of 22.5GB which can be used anywhere in the campus and 2. Ethernet? I don't know the proper term, sorry >,< which is available at students' accommodations area. Basically, you just have to plug in the LAN cable from the port to your laptop. The thing with my MacBook is IT DOESN'T HAVE AN ETHERNET PORT SO I HAVE TO BUY AN ADAPTER FOR RM139.00 but yeah, anything for my baby.
Also, the meals here are quite cheap and they taste good too. I can just survive with any lauk ayam and what I like the most about our village cafes is that they have paru goreng sambal which is my favourite and you don't have those in Canada ahah! (sorry I'm trying to make myself feel better). As I like to take my own sweet time indulging my food, I always just tapau and eat it in my room while watching some animes or K dramas.
What else. Hmm although I think this as a downside, walking for 20 minutes everyday to the academic buildings do serve as an exercise for me since I'm not a fan of doing workouts. Man, the sweats I produced per day ugh I just don't wanna think about it. Thank God the lecture halls are cold. Many students here drive to class or ride bicycles. So, my new goal is to save some money for driving classes and license and also to buy a car because damn I can't even imagine doing all this walking for 4 FREAKING YEARS NO JUST NUH.
Anyways, I edited two videos I recorded since I arrived here and already uploaded them on my YouTube channel for fun but they are certainly not fun to watch though.
We have a 3 days holiday during my second weekend here but I didn't have class on Friday which makes it 4 days for me. Asked my aunty (she lives 'nearby') to pick me up so that I can buy some stuff for school and spent 3 days in Ipoh. Didn't do any exciting stuff actually but I got to experience what it's like living in Perak. Everytime you're on the road, it feels like you're driving on a highway because mountains are literally everywhere (that explains the super damn hot burning weather). Even from my room window, all I can see are mountains which is good because they make me feel calm. Still, I like Johor Bahru and KL more, city life suits me (not that I always go out I just like the feeling of the city being alive all the time, knowing that there are people out there that haven't gone to bed yet. Also, the high accessibility to do anything).
This is the cat that my aunty keeps. It is really fat and only responses to her calls and didn't even bat an eyelash at me. In fact all her pet cats treated me the same. Oh well, my village cats are much more manja. Gesel-ing me while doing my laundry.
On the way back from grocery shopping, my uncle went sightseeing a bit at Muhammadiah Mosque in Ipoh. It has the chinese architectural designs. At first glance anyone would've thought it's a temple.
Look what we have here, the most expensive thing I bought during the weekend. A printer with photostate machine/ scanner. I like it better wrapped so I just leave it like that, all covered.
