Hello Two Double ‘O’ Eight
Happy New Year everyone! I know I’m not exactly on time with the greeting but, it IS still the new year. So what’s this year for me? It’s college year. New environment, new school, new friends, new chapter. But that doesn’t mean I’ve left all the erm, “old” friends, memories, to pass by with the year. I haven’t been keeping much contact with friends - I expected it really. I just hope we don’t .. drift too far apart?
Anyways, I’m supposed to be in hostel right now but my brother took the car so, I’ve got no transport. Change of plans. Going only in the morning. Orientation starts at 8.30 and ends at 1. After that, come back and send my brother off to the airport then it’s back to hostel again. So yes, updates about the hostel. It’s quite nice actually. Although there are 3 beds in the room, there’s still space to move around. I have to climb up to 4th floor everyday. That’s going to be fun. Only problem is the water pressure. The bathroom in the master (which is “my” room), the tap drips water, the toilet can’t flush and the shower’s water flow’s plain slow. There’s already a pail and bucket there. My brother said when he was studying in Taylor’s, and when he stayed in Pangsapuri (about the same as My Place too), he showered by taking water from the pail for the whole year. So maybe, I’ll have to do the same. Or maybe, my roommates and I go and file a complaint - though, they probably won’t do anything.
I haven’t met my roommates by the way. I went on the 29th. On the 30th, I went there again to fix up a shelf, which I’m proud to say I screwed everything in with my aunt’s help. (My dad usually does all this things so, it was.. fun! Although because of sudden “over-exertion”, I slept, or more like, half-slept with an aching arm and hand) My roommate about whom my aunt “found out” is from Penang, had already brought in her stuff. I think she’s taking a degree course too, so she’s probably older than me. Anyways, my housemate, who has been staying there since last year (have not met her neither), has so very many things. The shoe rack and kitchen’s practically hers. She even has a router and Internet there (which isn’t provided, mind you). I wonder whether she’ll clear her things..
Anyways, I shall blog in the weekend. Maybe with pictures of the room? To all those starting school/college, good luck and have fun! =)
p.s.: I replied the comments for the previous post.
Happy New Year to you and this site too. Well, enjoy and have fun at college. At least you can start immediately. No more time wasted. Most of us back here are still just bumming around and well, not making good use of time. All the best for the year, and we shall, see you soon? When and if you’re coming back for Cny anyways.
Which part of the world are you in?? Heheh that’s interesting that you have a stay at a hostel… is it anything like the movie???
Happy new year to you as well!! Hopefully your roomates are wonderful people! They make part of the experience more fun and durable!
Happy New Year dearest JY =D yeah, I’ll try to take it easy haha. Oooh I can’t wait for pictures
Happy New Year, sweetheart dear dear.
School is quite empty without seniors. 2008, my last year in MD, or my last year in Brunei jua. Hehe. You take care and update more for us who miss you lots. 
oh JiaYean!
HAPPY 2008! how’s college? i mean, orientation and everything.
well, i hope you don’t have to shower with a pail all year :S that would sort of suck. and you can drive kah over there kah?!
btw, i’m going to Singapore this Monday and will be there till the 28th. so maybe, hopefully, i can catch a couch (is that how you spell it?!) from Singapore to KL like during one of the days
i’ll def let you know.
Ill… I hate taking showers from a pail. I never feel clean! LOL! Happy 2008! And your dorm room sounds fun.
Hm! I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU DIDNT BLOG. but then again, you told me all this personally… so i guess it doesn’t matter
Steven: Happy New Year.. to my site? Haha wow. Hey.. my site’s almost a year old! Hahaha. Yes, not wasting time - true. But then if I had transport and could go out, I wouldn’t mind wasting time here. All the best to you too .. you know, I think you said that in the last post but anyways, no probably not during CNY.
Destiny: I’m in KL, Malaysia! Hmm, what movie? Haha. They’re nice people so far =)
Chien Yee: Happy New Year to you too! Have fun in school =p Pictures, not today because photobucket disagrees.
Mable: Happy New Year hahaha. Have fun in your last year of college! Where to after college? KL?
Angel: Happy 2008 to you too! College? It’s fine. More info in my blog above. And the pail showering, I think I have to. Unless all 6 of us share one bathroom. I can’t drive yet. Haven’t thought of taking lessons neither. But I can technically learn already. And I think you meant a “coach”.
Shimney: If the pail were a little bigger and there was actually hot enough water, maybe it won’t too bad. I’ll show you pics of my dorm soon. Happy 2008 too!
Esther: Well, I didn’t blog since I came back from the weekend. How did I know you didn’t read this post too.. Haha.
Maybe Singapore. It depends.
