Back In Penang

Day 1- 7.00am : Kena Con

After getting up slightly late, mom yelling for me to hurry, dad telling me he cant send me cause he's got gout and brother still asleep in bed-managed to get myself together (somewhat) and out the house. My own fault as: 1.Didn'tcomplete packing the night before 2.Slept late
Ended up chucking stuff into my blue flower power sling bag-contact lense solution, biscuits, shower gel...everything i could see that i thought i needed.
Reason i had to ciao early that morning is cause i HAD to register on the 27th and in order to reach USM before the office closes, had to take earliest bus lor...

Here's where i got abit conned. Konsortium earliest bus is 7.30am, i arrived at Pudu with mom at 7am, went to the counter and there was a dude there (another bus company) selling tickets to Penang, 7am bus. I asked la "Pegi Sg. Nibung?" He said Yes, yes,yes... So fine, i'm not fussy
Mana tau, the usual 4hour journey took 5hours instead!!!
Why ?
Because the bus stopped at Ipoh station dropped off and took new passengers, then stopped at Butterworth, THEN only moved on to Sg. Nibung... BAH !
Butt and back aching man...

Anyways, thankfully kind hearted Daniel Sg. Nibung picked me up from the bus station.

PENANG IS SO DARN HOT !!!

Had lunch and went to get hostel keys, but? Office was having lunch break, so closed...Annoying man- i mean, loads of people were travelling from all over at all hours of the day, they should at least stay open for the first few days.

Basically, at 2+ got my keys, dumped stuff in my room (room was unnatural and unfamiliar- totally empty and bare...) and zoomed over to School of Humanities to register for my course. My PA (Penasihat Akademik) was pushing for me to take7 subjects, and i actually did...but after much thought, i knew i couldn't handle it so i dropped one subject. Quite stressed cause they didnt offer my minor foundation to us, but in some compassionate sort of way they offered a 2nd year mass com subject, so it kind of works out...

Suria returned from S'wak at about 4+ and i went to greet her.
Finally when it got cooler we dared to go and locate our barang-barang from the store...
OH MY GOODNESS!

Looked like a tornado had hit okay...Everything was everywhere- bags and boxes ripped and strewn about...Terrible man! Thankfully i had only 2 big boxes which i sealed with ALOT of tape, so it was relatively unhurt..Poor Suria, one of her's was totally shredded to bits- literally some stuff was scattered on the store room floor, some outside and the box remains were found few meters away from the store room door. She was pissed...

Lugging it all down was difficult,even harder cause we would burst out laughing every few minutes, and its super hard to carry stuff when laughing, trust me...
Here's what we had to sort out :














(not full pic, couldnt fit in camera screen)
Took us the whole night man, finished at about 11pm i think...Was so tired that i fell asleep straight away and had the best sleep- uninterrupted and deep (world peace and global warming deep)

Day 2 - Classes Begin (so fast)

COLD SHOWERs AGAIN =(
But nothing much happened otherwise la, classes and seeing classmates- dropped the subject and checked the tutorial times.I tell you, first few days always suck because of the signing up etc..So ber-hassle man.

Day 3
Now i'm here again in the internet cafe
Later i've got a hostel meeting at 10pm, i was summoned for it (Eeps!) its for the athletics la, an inter-hostel sports day coming up

I sorta miss home...
Not the *cry cry cry* moan n groan type, but i just wished i had a few more days
Didnt get to say goodbye to many people
Never got to see some people as much as i would have liked to
Wanted to spendmore time with mom
Little Dog and Snubby
The surviving fish
Stoop Pig

Oh well...Only good thing that will come from being back here is i'll be able to lose my Christmas pounds that was put on... =p
