Hey guys, as you all know, I'm at home in Penang now. I'm gonna write a blog comparing between home and hostel in UPM.
Let's talk about the room. The hostel room in UPM is not bad actually. We have a quite big study desk, a desk lamp, a bed and a cupboard. Well, everything is kinda old especially the cupboard. At home, I have a study desk, 2 cupboards, a computer table, a dressing table,a bed and 2 small tables. Of course home is much more comfortable. I have to share my room with a roommate in my hostel. So sometimes when she wakes up early and when I'm still in bed, I feel like someone is watching me sleeping. Hahahha.. And sometimes when I wake up early and she's still in bed, I feel like I'm disturbing her.
The bathroom, this is my favourite thing to comment. Well, at home, I have my bathroom which I can hang my clothes behind my door, I have shampoos,body shampoos, conditional and practically everything inside my bathroom. My bathroom is quite BIG as I could walk around my bathroom. I have water heater too. Well, who doesn't? Except UPM. I didn't realised the fact that my bathroom is big until I go to UPM. In my hostel, when you go inside the bathroom to bathe, you could barely move your body as the bathroom is build as the size of a human only. And you couldn't hang your clothes behind the door as there is no hanger. Everytime you need to bathe, you have to bring all your shampoos, body shampoos to the bathroom. That makes the bathroom even smaller. And they don't have water heater. Imagine bathing with cold water early morning. That's the reason why I don't bathe early morning there. Hahaha. And yet, after you bathe, you have to change your clothes inside the bathroom as you don't want to wrap yourself with towels and walk around back to your room. Even if you could do that, you don't want to change your clothes in front of your roommate right. Imagine changing clothes with your not-so-dry-body inside the human size bathroom. That's kinda.... inconvenient I'd say.
And the toilet, it's small,old,wet and dirty! At home, I could sit and relax doing my business. In the hostel toilet, I try to do finish everything as fast as I could as I couldn't hold any second longer there! Well it's okay if I just use the toilet once or twice for once a while, like I'm using the public toilets. But now I'm living there. I have to use the toilets like more than 3 times a day!!! It's such a sad case :( Can't they upgrade the toilet already?
At home, I have 2 dogs named Snoopy and Smarties. In my hostel, I have around 10 cats whom I don't know their names. They meow when they want something, and they growl out loudly when they're fighting,which it happens practically everyday. Sometimes middle of the night when we're sleeping we could hear them fighting with their enemies. Come on,even my dogs don't fight with each other. Can't the cats all get along and at least help to make UPM hostel a better place by NOT making noise? That's not all, sometimes they shit around wherever they like. They shit at the corner outside our room. They shit inside the pantry. They shit inside the bathroom. Imagine early morning you go the bathroom and you smell their shit, or you want to get water from the pantry and you see their shit on the floor. What is thissssssssss!!!?
Moving on, the FOOD. At home, I eat my mom's cooking, or we go out for hawker's food, or some nice food in shopping malls. In UPM,morning you have breakfast in your room, you have nasi goreng in the afternoon, you have nasi campur at night. The next day, you have nasi goreng again in the afternoon, you have nasi campur again at night. This goes on everyday. Well, at least they have different names for the nasi goreng. Nasi goreng pataya, nasi goreng cina, nasi goreng USA, nasi goreng belacan, and a lot more. Haha... Come on!!! What are those? All of them are nasi goreng which taste practically the same but they have 10 different nasi goreng names. I guess they want us to try them all and make ourselves think that "yesterday I ate nasi goreng USA,today I eat nasi goreng belancan, so I'm not eating the same food everyday." Unfortunately they fail as I feel like I'm eating the same food everyday!!! Yeah, they have Marry Brown here. Let me show you the conversation I have with the waitress.
Me: Bagi saya Towel Burger.
Lady: Towel Burger sudah habis amoi..
Me: Habis? then bagi saya Spicy Chicken Burger.
Lady:Sudah habis juga amoi.
Me: Semua habis? Apa yang ada di sini?
Lady: Chicken burger saja.
Me: Okay,bagi saya chicken burger.
Lady: Single atau combo?
Me:Combo,tapi drinks I mau milo, dan fries I mau curly fries.
Lady: Milo sudah habis, curly fries juga habis.
Me:Okay, bagi saya single.
Do they even have Marry Brown? What's the point of having Marry Brown when everything sudah habis sudah habis -.-
At least I brought along a rice cooker so I could cook some food myself there. At home, I wanna eat eggs, I get from the fridge. I want to have butter, I get from the fridge. In UPM, I don't even have a fridge. I wanna have eggs, I need to take a bus, and walk for 5 mins to buy some eggs, and take a bus back. What's this? Hahaha... Well, I admit it's kinda difficult but I accept that as I could learn how to be independent. Whatever I need, I go and get it myself.So sometimes I cook instant noodles to eat instead of nasi campur and nasi goreng in the food court. Somehow, after I cook, I need to wash my utensil. I hate to go to the dirty pantry to wash them. The pantry is so disgusting. I don't get it. Why the people throw their food around the basin? Why they put their left over around there? They dishes all around the pantry. Even their left over food. They just don't care. The pantry is not a pantry, it smells like a toilet more.
Alright, moving on, let's talk about laundry. Well, I'm okay with that. I do my laundry using the washing machine. Per load is RM2.50. We can wash 10kg of clothes for the maximum. The problem is, whole block of people sharing 1 or 2 washing machines. We have to line up if there is other people is using. It's okay. Somehow there are some inconsiderable people who just leave their clothes INSIDE the washing machine after using it. They don't bother to take their clothes out. So sometimes when I'd like to wash my clothes, their clothes which is already DONE WASHING is still inside the washing machine. So I have to wait for them. And sometimes the washing machine is not working, sometimes they don't accept your coins. What's this? -.- At home, I can do the laundry whenever I want. And it's clean! The washing machine there doesn't look clean :( After the laundry, I have to bring it up outside my room to dry it. Once, I dried my underwear. A moment later, I found my underwear dropped INSIDE the drain downstairs. And it was a HUSH PUPPY underwear!!! I felt like crying! I was forced to throw my underwear.That was the moment I missed my home the most! Hahaha...
Alright, so the conclusion is, I miss my home!!! 2 months staying in UPM hostel makes me appreciate my home a lot! So, it's not a total bad thing after all right? I've learned my lesson ^^ So since now I'm home, I make full use of it. Whenever I'm in bathroom or toilet, I enjoy my time there to bathe or do business as I couldn't enjoy it in my hostel. So, I want to tell everyone of you something,
APPRECIATE YOUR HOME!!!!
Because there's no cats shitting around your house.
Hahaha.. Take care!
