had chemistry practical, had a dose of the classic virtua on, had a good run on anakin's racing-spaceship-god knows what, had burger king for dinner, watched prince of persia, had a good really good time. i think things are gonna get better next week.
kick-ass
"Getting shot, daddy, hurt a lot more than when you did it"
"That's cause i used low-velocity rounds child"
"You're the kindest daddy in the whole world"
that's what they said...
maybe they are right. maybe i don't know anything about love. maybe i shouldn't be involved in it.
but then again, no one knows shit about life and everyone's doing just fine.
right where it belongs
said nothing short of violence and anger
with scars serving as a testament
of his dark history stained with blood
between me and him
was an awkward pause of silence
and 5 feet of foul air and metal bars
between us was a world of differences
his smirk betrayed his poker face
he began to speak, a sign of defeat in our mind game
but once his words came through
i found myself afraid to see
"are you sure what side of the glass you're on?"
to all ktt-ians #2
im selling my one door "WING" fridge for rm250. price negotiable. yes, those fridge magnets are free too. heh. let me know if you are interested.
future ktt-ians...
i guess its time for my social obligation eh.
for those who are about to come to kolej teknologi timur under jpa scholarship, welcome to the stone age. this college sticks out in the middle of nowhere.
first of all, you will be stuck in it most of the time because you cant walk to town. if you really need to get to nilai or bbst, theres the college van or bus, but they don't run on regular basis last time i check. or you can take a cab. 6 bucks to bbst, or bandar baru salak tinggi, and 12 to nilai, one way. if you plan to go out further, there's a ktm station.
food. yes. malaysian is famous for its variety of food. but that law does not apply here. in college area, theres only 2 cafes, malay and mamak. then you have the stalls in front of the main gate, only gate actually. walk down the hill if you fancy a malay restaurant which i've never been to. the food here isn't so bad, in terms of taste and price.
the house you'll be living in is a small apt, with 2 rooms and 1 bathroom. 4 people in one house, 2 in each room. for that, each of you will get a study table and chair, and bed with mattress that wont improve your spine condition. theres a ceiling fan for the main living room and 1 stand fan in each room. personally for me, theres plenty of space in the house. i could fit my desktop and still occupy the least space in the house. key is arrangement. maximise the space and you bring lots of stuff in. the bathroom has a shower, at least mine does. and theres 2 balconies, one facing the inside of the building and the other facing outside. the kitchen is kinda small for you to cook, so the electric cooker might come in handy since its small and you're not paying for electritcity.
there is a minimart here. you can get your top ups and basically get simple groceries. the mart provides laundry services. or you can opt for the public washing machine at the back of the building near the badminton court. but seriously, go to the mart, or do your own laundry. another important thing is water supply. its clean enough for bathing but im not so sure for drinking. unless you have a filter system, boiling the water won't be enough. so you have a water vending machine at each block, 20 sen for a litre. if you up for a cheaper source, theres the water cooler. but the water won't be as crystal clear.
for muslim dudes, you have to bring a black baju melayu for friday and you have to wear them during classes. but don't take it so seriously. if you want to go pink, im sure lecturers wont hold a grudge against you. songkok and sampin is a must buy for certain events, but for classes, its optional. and there's a free bus service to the mosque for friday prayers. for daily prayers, you have the surau at the girls' block.
theres no atm machine inside the college. the closest is in bbst, and theres a free bus or van service on certain days. and if you happen to get sick, theres the van which will send you to the clinic, private or govt, your choice. but if you're desperate and the vans are busy, they will send you using the college car. the very least, the lecturer on duty will send you.
theres no extra-curricular activities except on sports day and art festival. you're most probably free in the evening. there's badminton, futsal, netball and pingpong. but dont expect stadium like facilities. theres a park nearby for those who like to jog or take a walk.
every thursday, theres a pasar malam, again, free bus service. you can walk there if you want to skip the waiting and standing in the bus moments. its not that far, bout 15 minutes of walking i guess.
for those who need internet access, you have two options. ktt wifi, which is completely obsolete to me, or broadband. check out new promotions and you can get yourself a decent deal. 50 a month aint so much to stay connected.
in bbst, theres a few banks, 7 eleven and kfc. i think theres a clinic somewhere there too. you get more stuff in nilai. theres giant hypermaket, kfc, pizza hut, mcdonalds, a&w, oldtown white coffee, textile stores, electrical store, furniture store. basically just like every other town.
for those who couldnt live without tuition, theres one near nilai. for inquiries, the dude's name is ravin and his number is 0129876777. no, im not getting a single cent of commission. he's got awesome lecturers for chemistry and math. and he provides tuition for physics too. rates arent fixed yet. but let him know if you're interested.
finally, for those who are wondering what should you bring. save yourself the trouble and buy the basic stuff in town instead of carrying them with you. just bring your clothes, formal and casual and sports and documents and personal stuff.. i dont know about you, but here's the list of my things :
- 2 shelves, 1 for books, the other for random stuff
- electric kettle, which i barely use.
- broom and mop and brush.
- extension plugs
- tupperwares for your food
- bug repellent, just in case
- hangers and some ropes for laundry
- electric stove
- small fridge
- washing machine
- desktop
- some cups and plates
- shoe rack
- iron and iron board
- 2 pails
- an extra mattress for bed (pillows provided)
- padlock for cupboard
- a mirror
thats it i suppose. any inquiries, leave a comment. heres a link to another ktt-ian blog with photos. and dont buy the textbooks just yet once you're here. look around for cheaper ones.
when will i walk on water?
yes, i know AS is coming. yes, i know i screwed my pre-AS up. and yes, i know i should be doing math right now.
but im bored. i know i just got back from kl, and i had a good time. but i guess i need a little more time to empty my head, siphoning random thoughts and ramblings onto this space.
back to being emo? perhaps. how else can one explain why i suddenly am not looking forward to anything. not the stupid speaking test tomorrow, not AS, not the 2 weeks break, not the third semester. nothing. i don't want time to move now. just stop. yes, im scared. of everything. of failing and seeing myself as nothing but as a failure. of rejection. of endless possibilities of things going wrong.
i just want to sleep. but 2 tablets wont do. shit.
