38. Saw Announcement + Jungle Oddities

Personal
Behold, Saw V.
I don't get to premiere it Yw or Hooi quickly get a copy by Christmas then we'll rock our balls at midnight..

Oh ya, gona catch the coming REAL soon movie, 007: Quantum of Solace. James Bond movies starting from Daniel Craig line are my favourites...more muscle-imploding action..not romance-hairy action =.=

Ahead:
*Information on my campus life*
*Boring grandpa story ahead*
*Nice for curious friends*
*Good for keeping in touch with my sanity, tell me if have become Tarzan then someone has to become Jane from the city

I found this, on a table in one of the classes. And days after that I found another drawing..

XD the term 'jungle' here is just a mere exaggeration. But it's widely accepted by all students here at my place that this place is jungle hah. It's actually just beside the highway leading to Nilai/Bangi interchange. But the fact that if you're on the highway and you want to come here you will need at least another journey of 45 minutes that makes this place "jungle". Plus, it's situated in an area surrounded with lush forests and hills with vast size of palm oil estates.

And yes, lots of roadkills(lots of types too) along the way... And at night with no lamp posts at all which forces the high light to be switched on, it's scary..why? Because you will come across a signboard in the pitch darkness which reads "Awas:Kanak-kanak melintas jalan".

It's at least 10 minutes from any convenient stores for food or entertainment. 15 minutes from UKM. 25 minutes from Kajang. 10 minutes from Inti Nilai. 13 minutes from Nilai College. 15 minutes from Nilai Giant store. At least 35 minutes of KTM to Midvalley. Another 15 minutes to KLCC. Around 1 hour and 45 minutes of KTM to Subang Jaya(Taylors la, Sunway etc). Next destination, Sungai Wang vicinity, Petaling Street and 1-Utama.

This is the model landscape of my campus. The part behind the buildings are supposed to be hills of lush estate of oil palm trees.

It's these quasar time and distances that make us "people from the jungle" haha.

What we normally do:
~Wake up and go to class(normal l0)
~After class, back to room to sleep either to rest for another class or for the whole day
~Use the spare time to play cards particularly chor tai tee
~Go to the bathroom and mandi beramai-ramai(in separate cubicles la)
~Do laundry also together(only if class schedule permits)
~Dine at the opposite seafood restaurant(ironic, seafood in jungle)
~Watch TV there until before curfew time(by 12am)-(this one is not my group culture)
~Play badminton from 11pm to 2am(played basketball(outdoor) too but accident occured so..)
~Enjoy instant noodles together at 3am
~Continue with card game
~Life discussion chatting until 6am
~Sleep the whole next day with only one complete meal(dinner)

I thought I have done this before..never mind, this is in extra detail haha

haah I slept at 7am the other day after calling back to home to wish my dad for his birthday. Some Muslims were already up for prayers. But parents haven't wake up because they took leaves from work. And I was told that Penang was given a day of holiday for some political aim. Funny. And I woke up at 4pm. Basically, this is a kind of culture in college/uni life huh.. either for entertainment or last minute brain inflating studies.

This was the culture in the past month, which is the bulan Ramadhan.. No sleep (or short naps only) until 4am. Ok down to the Student Centre for food. At less than RM5, we can shut the stomach's grumbling for the whole day. 5am, start sleeping. If got class, wake up at 8 or 8.30am. No class, then sleep till 5pm. This was how we coped with one particular copious amount of writing assignment....countless nights... 20 pages full..for only 4 pages of task. woohoo but plain fun. and midterm...serious brain wreckage.

The hangar.

Reasons to stay in hostel(nice advantages):
-fun community socialising
-close rapport among friends and classmates
-fun group studies in anyone's room
-(if my laptop can support great games..) connect with the whole block LAN and DoTA/CS !!!
-easy for group assignment discussion
-super close distance to library or classes
-can sleep until 5 minutes before class and never be caught late
-save big money for accomodation

Reasons not to stay in hostel:
-have to be hardworking and get chops(proofs of being active in campus activities) and compete with over 1000 people who would like to stay in the hostel the next semester
-boring same old food at the cafe-need to travel out to get "extra-ordinary" food
-if your neighbours are high-tech, then 5.1 sound system will accompany your group study
-if your neighbours are dirty, the corridor is gonna smell and be dirty
-if your neighbours are thiefs.....
-dirty toilets...especially the clogging of uncivilised maggi-mee disposal in the sinks
-smelly because most people do their businesses in "sleepy mode";bad accuracy
-all sorts of jungle lifeforms residing anywhere everywhere
-boring if there's nothing to do
-gotta respect the majority Muslims of alcohol/pork/food during puasa etc etc
-gotta bear with more lung cancer symptoms..

Top reasons to get out of hostel:
-the laundry room is constantly scourged by cat shit(DAMN SHIT!) everywhere
-smell is so so so so so shit
-INTI Nilai area life is better
-food there is so different(new to me, you won't find them in Penang
..but now I'm bored already)
-got CCs
-got Cs(but most of them got boyfriends d, sigh)
-hahaha

We should be moving out in the next semester...the house is only 10 minutes away.

The hostels from a distance.

hmm...know wat, long ago we had an meeting. It's a MIAT chinese community meeting haha. Seriously, you can count the number of chinese seniors studying here with 10 fingers..we alone(sem 1) make up already 10. So the fraternity actually grew larger. Cool people, especially in aviation field we get to befriend this kind of "I love aircrafts" people...most of them are from KL so it's interesting to hear about the life in KL...especially the clubs woohoo

ok la...30 more minutes I will have a shower and go for class at 8.30am in an hour time. I couldn't sleep. Got lots of stuffs running in my head and stomach's so full from the 4am meal. Hot sun rising already and thick fogs rising from the jungle.

~Sleeping at 7am is cool. Hear the morning bird chirpings as a lullaby to sleep and forget what's up for the day because you're gona wake up in the afternoon or evening anyway. Food is just all you need after that. Forget and wither...

I told my friend about life being short and beautiful. I referred it to the life of a butterfly. It can live so long as a caterpillar but after metamorphing into the new creature it could only last a week or so.. and about one week later i saw it dead, being carried by giant ants, feasting.
[the beautiful....]

{...this was written more than a month ago...}

This is the latest you could get of me..
Cool full-face helmet but this one's too big for me. Dear someone(s), please show this to Meng Jon, I want to let him see it. It belongs to a friend and he owns a bike, a Kawasaki ZZR250 exactly the same model Jon used to ride. Gona test ride it someday at the apron.

Reap the sowed..Rock ass people.

Anyway, because the writing(about my campus life) is written so long ago, it's outdated. HAHA

Quantum of Solace 2: Heartbreak Armageddon in the process.... The Funeral of Hearts was the prequel and a pilot. ..Allahhuakhbar..
