One Week There..

Well, actually it was four days. For those who don't know, I've just started college at INTEC, UiTM Shah Alam. And I'm supposed to stay there for the whole time I'm studyin there. Except i can come back on Saturday and Sunday.

For this week, there was nth much.They just had this Orientation Week which was called Minggu Mesra Siswa (MMS). Overall the whole thing was okay. OKAY onli. If they took out all the times where we doin absolutely nothing, They could have probably fitted the "Minggu" in two days.

The first day was registration. Went there with Joel. Yeah, he drove. Which was a very useful. Thanks so much Joel! for being my "chauffer" and letting me tumpang you to-and-fro from the hostel to INTEC. =P Anyway, registration went pretty well. I just forgot one thing which i got and settled later. Then, we went to the hostel, which is about 10km away from the college, to check it out. The place was not bad. It was new. unfortunately the floor was filled with cement dust because of it's newness. Our roommates were two chinese guys from Sarawak, who happened to be classmates too. So the four of us share one room. So far, they are pretty cool roommates. Then later we had some taklimats back at INTEC, which, like other talks and everything, boring. And to cut a long story short, for the next few days of MMS, there were a lot of taklimats that were a waste of time basically. Some of the group things we did were pretty cool though. Like getting to know the places in INTEC. Now thats was useful. We also got to design our own dream college. My group's college was the best of all. Well, i guess it was a bit unfair since we had Wan who was a student who's taking "Town Planning" as his course. =P
Other than that it was pretty boring la. The exercise time was lame. We couldn't play football. Joel kept insisting that everyone there was a bunch of nerds who don't play football. I told him if i start playing at least 100 ppl will come and play. AT LEAST 100. =P

Oh yeah, met a lot of new n old friends. First i met Vincent and Clarence which were my roommates. Then i met Syed Nabil (yeah, that guy in the Moral Form 4 Text book =P). I dont see him for like 3 years, then suddenly i see him twice in a year. Met Rama there too. But he seems to introduce himself as Ram now. But he still looks and act the same as last time. jus a bit taller. I met a new guy there too. Seaport's top student, Vimalan. (It's a scary thing when people just know who you are when you just say your name. it's like you're famous and you don't even know why. I hate when this happens to me). Anyway, i said my name was Benjamin and he suddenly knew who was my mom. Yeah, Freaky. Then later he told me that he is the Sri Aman discipline teacher's neighbour and he heard that I got the scholarship from the teacher who obviously found out from my mom. Small world.

Oh yeah, i learned some "interesting" stuff also. Like Joel told me most chinese people don't know how to use their hands to eat. Which i found very weird cause i tot that since we're in Malaysia they wud know how. Anyway, we were at dinner and Joel was like "How do you eat with hands?". I was shocked la to hear. So there i taught him how to eat with his hands. Later, Joel wanted to prove that he wasnt the onli one so we asked some other chinese guys in our group. Isaac said he didnt know and Huan Yang said he knew because of National Service. Then later at lunch one day there were no fork and spoons. So then we saw Sook May and Jia Ji askin Ira how to eat with hands. then when she showed them, there were like "WOW!". I found that hilarious. =P So is it true that most chinese don't know how to eat with fingers? So far, Lauren and Ruth say they of course know. The other people out there?

Well, thats all i haf to say for now. Yeah i know its kinda boring. I never had a flare for writing anyway. But jus read la if you're bored. I gtg and pick up my sister now. Bye!
