this is my very first time using internet from school. i kind of submitted it last thursday but as there were three days of orientation and a weekend, i only get to use it now.....
today is my very first day at school i mean after those long orientation days and yes i'm kind of getting familiar with my own school just now because it's practically a combination of two universities in the same building which is why it gets so large and even now i'm lost at some parts of the school..... the part of area that i'm now living and studying is selangor state ( i wonder if i spell it right ) but doe ye might know that place.... it's 30 minutes drive from kuala lumpur itself and my hostel is about 30 minutes walk from school. but don't worry we have free shuttle buses to and fro 8 times a day...... so it's very convenient..... and the cafeteria on the ground floor is a combination of 5 j donuts and 2 cafe aromas back in yangon..... and the food here is so great that i sometimes am hesitate which one to eat. 5 ringits and i'm full. only now that i understand what an actual university student's life is all about.
well the first evening i set foot on the airport ground, i was a little excited because i had to wait for someone from school to get me before i passed the immigration counter but luckily after 30 minutes wait, someone named mr. hashim picked me up and everything was okay with me...... the girl that went along with me got luckier that day, even before we got to the shuttle train, she got someone from kuching already there waiting for her...... so that was her story..... for me i got to sunway at about 7.30 pm and to my surprise my very first evening abroad kind of got dark only at about 8.00 pm. aunty jenny took me to her house and introduced me with her family and they all were very warm to me... and we kind of ate out that night... she and her son ko chris and her daughter-in-law ma ei took me to a big food court where most of the students spend their night eating dinner. it was awesome.... everything, the people, the food.... it was AsiaCafe
for the next few days before i went to my hostel, aunty jenny just took me to every place and mall worth going. last monday was my very first night in the hostel and some funny things happened.... cos i was mistakenly assigned to the level where there were no boys living but girls for that entire floor and a vietnamese girl got allocated into my actual room. so as they couldn't swamp us back for that day, i had to go to another room on the 5th floor and slept for one night. there i met with one friend from indonesia and we still hang around each other.....and now, about my actual room, i'm currently staying with 2 malaysian chinese, 1 korean and 1 sri lankan... all together 5 of us....... and yes as mentioned there are three rooms and of course a kitchen and 2 bathrooms with toilets attached.... it's just that they don't provide any cooking facilities like ovens, pots, pans and gas stove...... but we have all the cupboards and a fridge. and our living room is a nice one.... some sofas and a good table and chairs to dine... my room is on the 16th level of the apartment and there are altogether 4 blocks which means block a, b, c and d and all four are 17-storied buildings and a swimming pool, a basketball court and a small playground for kids are wrapped around by those buildings........ all of my roommates are okay... they are cool and the sri lankan named 'nalinda' is taking tourism, that 16-year-old korean 'sang jun' computer science, two malaysians 'alan' and 'lac', multimedia and networking.and okay, i'm going to talk about the nearest mall from both of our hostel and school. ( actually it is kind of in the middle of the two places ), sunway pyramid.... the shopping mall is a very big one with lots of shops and restaurants and what is more there is even an ice-skating ground for people to skate at the basement and a mega theater with small cinemas ( i believe there are at least 8 of them ) inside. and beside the pyramid is the lagoon theme park and it's one of the biggest themeparks in malaysia and it even contains a fake beach inside with all that white sands and even fake waves.... those waves are so big that people even surf around..... it's so incredible.... i can just see that park from our school window..... it's that near.
for now, i'm just eating out....... cos i don't want to buy the utensils for cooking.... and besides outside food stores are also very hygienic and reasonable..... even if you don't want to drink some juice, you get so full with 3.5 ringits worth dinner or lunch.
last friday, i went to a big mosque opposite the sunway pyramid and here the juma only starts at about 2.00. i don't know why..... but anyway, it's very convenient for me to just walk there and it's just 15 minutes walk from my hostel.
okay, you all might be getting bored by my long mail. so i think i'll stop here. but at least you can feel a little bit about the insight of where i'm living. okay, it's nearly 3.30, i have to go back to my hostel with the 3.45 shuttle bus. so i'll write to you again soon.
bye for now.
tons of love,
tee
ps. pa the current exchange rate is a us dollar for 3.63 ringits.....
