Well, as all of you know, currently I am in UPM,Serdang.
It's been quite a while since the last time I update my blog. Now, I'm gonna share with you in detail how UPM is like :)
3rd July 2010
My uncles and aunty suddenly decided that they want to send me to KL. How happy I was. We went to Genting and stayed a night in GohTong Jaya. That night we went to Genting Highlands. It was my first time going to the Casino.Wow, it was very big and A LOT of people!!!
4th of July 2010
My uncle drove us to Universiti Putra Malaysia using the GPS. UPM is a very big university. I felt so happy. I am going to study in this big university. How cool is that!? It's so nice. It looks new! The buildings are huge. After I registered myself, I got the keys to my hostel. Then, we have to take bus to get to the hostel. When I got to my college(hostel), I was disappointed. What is this? The hostel is old compared to the other buildings. Then I found my room. The room is okay. Not that bad. But there were cats everywhere outside my room along the corridor. The toilet sucks too. It was old,small,dirty and doesn't even have a water heater! That was the moment I started to hate this place. After we've unpacked everything, my parents had to leave already. Well, it's very hard to say goodbyes. I gave my parents a hug and they left. My father looked sad. Oh well, this is the first time I'm leaving them. After they've gone. I felt so lonely. I'm in a new place with strangers everywhere. I don't know everyone. People passing around me and I was alone. I don't know anyone. It's so strange. Later that night, they have some program going on for us new students.
5th to 9th July 2010
It was the worst week of my life ever. It was the orientation week (Minggu Perkasa Putra) and it was killing me. They have activities all day long for the whole damn week! We have to wake up 6am and started the stupid lame activities until late at night 12 or 1am. That was the moment I asked myself "How could I be so happy to come here? This place sucks!!!!" The toilet is so dirty that sometimes the cat shits are in the bathrooms or toilets. OMG HELP! That was the time I missed my home so damn much. I've got a feeling to just go back home and give up. But I know I couldn't. I have to be strong no matter what happens. They got activities like asking us to create "cheers" for our college which is really dumb, something like " KTP ROCKS!!!" (KTP = Kolej Tun Perak), my hostel's name. Then, they send us to this big hall for some ridiculous talk that lasts for hours and hours. Talks like "1 Malaysia" and Moral values. I was like, come on, we're 20! Do we need you to teach us about Moral?!! Why are we spending our precious time doing some shit like this! Imagine sleeping 5 hours everyday for one week just to do this stupid activities. They even asked us to do exercise and dance. What the crap? Did I come to a kindergarten or what? It's not a University for God's sake! Finally, a heroin came to rescue me.
10th + 11th July 2010
Thank God Jasmine came to Kuala Lumpur and she brought me out! It was the greatest news for the whole week I skipped the stupid orientation by giving them an excuse that I have to go back to Penang. Then, Jasmine brought me out. Finally I felt like I was really in KL!!! I was outside of UPM at last! It did really feel great! We went to play billiard with my other friends and watch movies and ate Burger King! Yay! No more sucky food from UPM! Burger King was the best meal I had during that week. I shopped a lot and we had so much fun. Thanks a lot to Jasmine for the rescue. If wasn't for her, I won't be writing this blog cause I might died in UPM during the orientation week.
12th July onwards...
That was the day the classes officially started. Well, I managed to make some new friends. There's this one girl who took the same course as me and we go to the same class. She's a nyonya so I have to speak English to her as she doesn't understand Chinese. We did have some problems finding where are our classes and we did get lost. LOL. Well, we're new. It's okay to get lost I heard my senior said. UPM food sucks as always. Malay food everywhere. They sells the same damn food everywhere. We don't have many choices. Nasi Campur everywhere....I really hope I can slim down after I got here as I need to walk around and I don't like the food here.
Conclusion :
1.)The classes and lecturer halls are nice and big and cool and high technology. But I hate the fact that we have to take these stupid compulsory subjects like Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia, Kenegaraan Malaysia( like we took in Form6), Bahasa Melayu Tinggi, Pertanian dan Manusia. Come on,what the crap are these? I'm taking English Literate, why do I need to learn all these craps!!!?
2.)I cannot accept the fact that there are cat shits in the toilets and it stinks to the maximum! I can't wait to move out!!! Unfortunately we are forced to stay here for 1 freaking year!!! And everybody in the whole block is sharing the washing machine! We have to pay Rm2.50 for each time we wash our clothes!!!
3.)We first year students don't get to use own vehicles here. We are FORCED
to take bus. That makes me wake up early morning to wait for bus and
squeeze around with people. I hate it!!!
4.) The food here sucks. Every stalls sell Malay Food. Nasi Campur everywhere.
5.)They do have some nice scenery. I explored some of the nice places when I go jogging with my friends. It was kinda fun.

6.)I am not racist. I repeat, I am not racist. I just don't get why there are so many Malays here compared to Chinese and Indian? There are around 70% of Malays in UPM. I just don't understand that. The first few days I got here, when they have solat at 5 something morning, I was shocked and woke up because I didn't get used to it. But now I didn't wake up anymore as I got used to it already. Hahaha.
These are the conclusions for me living in UPM. Well, actually I hate myself for complaining so much. I've never been complaining so much before. I used to word "sucks" so many times since I got here to describe here. Well, the good part of this is I managed to make a few friends. I might be complaining too much, I don't like me being like this too. Some people think that I'm spoiled because I complain a lot since I got here. Well, I admit that. I might get spoiled at home, that's why I complain. So what? I love being spoiled. Anyway,don't tell me you can stand that you have cat shits in your toilets.
