Flashback : Moving into KMPk - May 06

as you all probably know,
my NS stint was cut short by a month because i got an offer to do matriculation.

wah..never knew that i would get it.

i filled up the form as a joke in form 5.
cause everyone was being very kiasu and applying for everything.

i remember in camp, everyone everywhere got matrix offers.

i mean..ppl of other religion la.

it's the truth what.

initially, i didn't wanna go.
i spent days weighing the pros and cons, always summarizing that matrix will suck.

in the end, after thinking about my parents,
and much persuasion from friends *especially a certain someone*

i accepted.

my new college

damn ulu place. sigh, not a shopping mall in sight.



bad thing about KMPk.

it's seriously ultra ulu.

do you know i could only go out on weekends?
and that Ipoh Parade was the most happening shopping mall there?



where is my 1 Utama and Midvalley?!?!

but it is very big though.

HUGE.

so huge in fact, that i got lost on the 1st day.

you see, after dumping my stuff into my room, i had to go to the banquet hall to take a pic for my student card.

after emerging from the hall, i couldn't find my hostel.

in desperation, i called my dad.

"daddy, i can't find the hostel!"

"where are you now?"

"outside the banquet hall! i dunno where to go!"

"look behind you."

"hah?"

"look behind you."


pic of where we were. the blue stick figure is my dad and the pink stick figure is me.



haha, the damn hostel was behind me and i couldn't find it.
such is the "geng-ness" of my navigation skills.
as i have said again and again, i have no sense of direction.



how our hostel looks like on the inside. there are 3 rows of rooms and one side is the fellows apartments. each floor has to share a washroom. luckily for you, i didn't take any pics of the toilet cause it's damn disgusting.


map of the college. take note that the guys and girls hostels are separated by one big assed football field, mosque, hall and pusat pentadbiran. maybe it's to prevent us from raping each other.

i put this up cause i wanted to show how far the guys have to walk to get to class. the girls hostels are outlined in pink, the guys hostels in blue and the lecture halls in purple.

take a ruler and measure the distance between my hostel and the lecture halls. it takes me about slightly over a minute to get there. now measure the distance between the guys hostels and the lecture hall. how long do you think it takes for them to reach?

haha.

that explains why the guys are always late.

oh yeah, one important bonus point for matrix.

save $$$ and time for transport.

transport fees?

RM0.00

time to reach destination?

60 seconds.(if i run)

notice the long corridor on the right? that's the route the guys have to take to class. we call it 'wan li chang chen'


erm, i forgot what we call the blank space in the middle. we has orientation there. anyway the building that says 'pusat sumber' is the library and some tutorial rooms. the labs are on the right

the college mosque. it's kinda cool, cause it's built to look like it's floating on the smelly green lake

er..hot guys playing basketball



tangki air. one of the landmarks of KMPk. some ppl said that you could climb up cause the gate wasn't locked but i never found time to try.


btw, i saw meteors while at KMPk!!

not satellites, not fire works, but actual meteors!

in fact it was a major meteor shower.

it happened....at the end of December i think. they could be seen for 3 nights but i only went to watch on the 2nd night.

it was breathtaking, to say the least.

everyone was lying on the grass, staring up into the sky.

we were near the guys hostel but who cares anyway..

ppl were singing songs like Evan Yo's 'Wo Ke Yi' and the F4 Meteor Garden song.

unfortunately i was probably the only Chinese there who never watched the show, and didn't know how to sing that song.

some lucky couples were watching together.

i was lying with friends, trying to make a wish.

i saw like 20+ meteors.

but didn't make a single wish.

reason being every time i saw a meteor, i would scream "WAH!!! METEOR!!"

forgetting to make a wish.

by the time i remembered, and said in my brain 'i wish.."

the bloody meteor would already have been long gone.

then i told myself

"never mind, there's always the next one."

but every time i saw one i got excited all over again.

months later i was talking about it with Carmen, and we reckoned we should have just shouted things like

"GET MARRIED!"

"4 FLAT!"

"BE RICH!"

never mind la, i'll wait till the next time i witness a meteor shower.

which is probably my next lifetime.
