A 1 Month Life Away From Home

Yes! At last an update after so so so long! Life at INTI after a month really changed my first impressions. And it is a good thing.. Haha! Starting with the very first day of Uni... 1st september..
The halls of residence in INTI International University which i came to like after a month.. I swear.. The picture looks much better than in real life.. Anyways, i live in block R (for Rahmanputra). They have really nice names for all the blocks! Aristotle, Beethoven, Confucius, Darwin, Einstein, Fleming (which reminds me of Ms. Prema..), Gandhi, Heisenberg, Jenner, Keynes, Lincoln, Mendel, Newton, Pasteur, Rahmanputra. and Shakespear. No I's or O's.. I'm nearly at the end of the world in INTI!! 15 minutes walk to the academic block and that's if you walk slow. And 10 minutes RUN-WALK which i later found out due to nearly late-nesses of me..

The covered walkway i brave through everyday to get to the academic block.

Twin sharing room before furnishings.. With air con. Whoohoo!! But i have to share a common bathroom..


My biology report experiment 1 which i proved to Xin lin (one of my triplet sisters who is a GUY. My second sister in the triplet-tle-dom is Joanne. Why are we related? Three of us constantly think alike at the same time and ended up having the most funniest convo in MSN ever!! >.<) and Sivaraj (does NOT look like an Indian.. A little bit of chinese, malay and indian) that i had a 8.5 out of 12 instead of the standard out of 10 which everybody in my class has.. Haiyo.. Wht am i an exception.. I think my bio lecturer Ms. See didnt complete the circle..


My Biology book measuring twice my weight and if used as a weapon... instant murder... But it's a really good book!! Actually supposed to be studying at that time but took pictures of room and stuffs instead..


My bed which i came to treasure a lot in INTI due to dead tired ness at the end of every day. Workload is no joke. I thought everybody said University life are the honeymoon years?? No no.. WRONG perception. I had never worked so hard in my life before! Haha! And now i have to clean my room. Sweep.. Mop floor.. Wipe table.. Laadeedadeedah. I love cleaning!! Yeah same like chiayin's case.. Became a neat person now. And i still like my papers straight..

My table which i came to treasure too as it is the second most important furniture in my room. Third and the last furniture provided... the WARDROBE... Which i put last in the list as i had bad memories of cockroach wars.. The cockroach just flew out of the cupboard making me and my roommate scream and she jumped on my bed and i jumped on her bed. If it weren't such a grim situation.. i would laugh but... OMG.. Scary.. After that, it flew around some more!!!!! EWWWW!!! Both of us screamed more and bolted out of the room as quick as water evaporating from a hot pan. Apparently it flew to my room mates Prawn mee packet and just stood there like it belonged! So after few minutes, the next door room neighbour saw us and killed it for us. "sighs of relief".. Such an eventful night.. Some more i just got back from being dunked into the swimming pool during adventure club gathering.


Tick tock tick tock.. Clocky clock clock..


My "Guardian" figure which i brought to make me feel like studying.. I think it's called the "Fighter" in the booklet from guardian. Which i renamed it to be.. Titan..


The usual obsessions for beautiful skies and sceneries.. Every morning i see this man!! Amazing. I love staying here! And there was once i woke up quite early at 5.30 to study BIO (sighs..) and it was still dark out with THE MOST WONDERFUL crescent moon i have ever seen! Ended up looking at the moon most of the time instead of studying and was nearly late for class.

Breakfast with cherry tomatoes. While listening to my MP3 and looking at the scenery.. There is a girl in my class called Cherry!! That name was so unique i remembered it on the very first day itself.

Breakfast with kiwi on another day. Sad man.. I forgotten to get breakfast the night before and i had no food left except kiwi!! Haiyo..

Dr K.S. Ooi my Chemistry 153 lecturer. Damn lame but makes me and felicia laugh no matter how lame the jokes are. Example... "Yes i am a serial killer. You know why?" I eat cereal every morning..." Silence in class... WTH!! And he loves to imitate Michael Phelps swimming and also his training skills of instead of 5 hours swimming, he does 5 hours of mathematics.. OMG... Calls himself Dr. Evil.. and called me JUNY (pronounced juuneee) which everybody ended up calling. NOOOOOO!!!!


Me and felicia looking at the guard who whistled and pointed to us. We thought cannot take pictures in the school compounds. But ended up when the guard approached us, we discovered that he is a "gila", psychotic man because he gave us that look like "What?"... Whistle for fun is it now?!?!?! Ish!! So Ah Beng (real name: Peng Hwa) didn't get to take a decent shot of us. Haih.. So.. But both of us look very yeng in this picture man.. perasan..

Group photo of our birthday celebration in "Tania", an Iranic restaurant near INTI. It's the most high class restaurant there.. I swear! All are like.. hawker stalls.. The birthday girl, Joanne, sitting. And a VERY melted slice of chocolate mud cake from Secret recipe Tarash, Sri and Vivian got. And you know why it's melted?? Cause the fridge of the restaurant is too far in. So not allowed to put in there. But it's delicious!! Yummy yum... (from left standing: Tarash, Sri, Vivian and me and Sitting: Joanne)
Quite fortunate that i ended up here as there are so many people making me laugh. Especially during lunches and dinners with Sonal, Nishanti and Felicia. Ahaha! My stomach damn muscular already... Ok! Been writing for so long.. Need food.. Bye!! More next time!!
PS. Food at INTI is really "good". OK.. Maybe except for the Tom yum fried rice, chicken rice, awesome papaya (i need pelawas..), pan mee, chicken porridge and... more? Can't blame me.. I'm a food lover..
