Random

As usual busy with my studies this whole week, as I'm yet to have my own internet connection in my new hostel room so I coudn't get to update my blog everyday. Just finished my second anatomy test, a bit relieved but another biochemistry is coming on this saturday. I promised I will update photos about my birthday, mangalore trip and Goa trip once I get my internet connection. Be patient okay. Ciao..need to catch up physiology lectures. All my friends and those reading my blog, take care. I miss all my friends in Malaysia especially those can crap with me at "mamak" stall. Carly, at here can't find anyone that can crap like you. Crystal, take good care of yourself even though you're busy working and studying at the same time. Miss you always. I'm late for class, got to go. Ciao...

India, I'm Loving It

I never know that I will love India until I visited a nearby state from Karnataka, called Goa. Now in the rush, so I will just blog up some info about Goa what I heard from friends cuz I don't time to wiki or google it. You guys can just find out by yourselves. Goa is a duty free state and of coz a tourist spot. And most of the people here are catholic so can see churches around. Goa is just all about 3Bs-- Beaches, Bitches, Beers. Haha, Joe is the one think of this. There are beaches in Goa but for this trip I just managed to visit one of that named Baga. Baga Beach is really long stretched with countless of big tents set up along the beach which sells beers, liquor and food. It is a tourist spot of coz a lot of topless girls and ladies jogging around or sun bathing. The best thing is at here the beer is freaking cheap, you can get a one pint of beer with jus 25 rupees (less than RM2.50). Of course I love beer. Having a cold chilled beer at the beach and admiring the waves ....wah, it's really like living in a paradise. The weather in Goa is damn freaking hot. Thanks to amy's sunblock cuz I didn't bring mine along. What a pity, i cant get the chance to post up the photos for you guys. I really love Goa so much. I hope I can get the chance again to visit another beach there after the monsoon season is over. Chilling out at beach, walking around to explore and clubbing during night were things I've done in Goa. I really don't mind spend two weeks there although I stayed in budget hotel.
After so much of nice things about Goa, let me talk about the suckiest train journey to Goa. What's the first impression on your mind when I talk about TRAINS in india? For those who always travel with KTM which always get delayed, you won't complain about KTM anymore after you read my post. Trip to Goa was a sudden due to late announcement of 4-day holidays. So of course we didn't get the chance to buy those reserved class tickets. In the end, we only managed to get General Compartment (equivalent to Economic Class for KTM). At least the ticketsthat KTM sell is numbered tickets. In india, they will just sell countless of tickets to whoever want to buy it. Can you imagine all of them boarding up the train but there's only limited cabins of GC? There will be people sleeping on the floor, on the tray for luggage and anywhere they can find a space to sit or sleep. The worst thing is the train is smelly. My friends and I stood for 3 hours out of 5 hours of journey. When we got the seats, we just cramped together or took turns to sleep. It was a "great" experience. Same thing happened again on the trip we got back from Goa. Will post up photos for you guys after I got my internet connection.

20

I turned 20 last sunday. Really had some surprise from Joe and Amy who I just got to know them for less than one month. We went to Cosmo Cafe for my birthday dinner on Saturday night, the meals made us quite disappointed. Well, surprise that I've mentioned is both of them baked a cake for me and give me a birthday card. Anyway, I know something is going on friday when Joe told me he was no going to play basketball. Anyway, I just don't care la. I know you guys sure have some question for me. "How's the cake looked like?" "Does it taste nice?"....haha...Again, I wil post up the photos soon then you all only post up the comments la...Hehe..After dinner, we went to Blue Waters with a bunch of classmates. On sunday morning, 3 of us and Kah Sien went to Mangalore for a visit. Back to campus around 7pm. Though two of my latest posts are quite short cuz I really not comfortable with the computers in library. By the way, I really had a great birthday celebration.
p/s: some details are not convenient to be revealed in my blog.

New Home on Birthday

Due to some complicated reasons, I'm forced to move to another room which is much more expensive compared to previous room. For your info, my new home is just less than 15 steps to lecture halls and just next to library. It has 3 lifts for 16 rooms to share on each floor. Apparently, I really love my current room. Bad news is this block is totally a new block so internet connection is yet to be installed in one month time. I will post up photos of my new home once I get o online with my own laptop.

Umbrella

As most of my friends know I really hate to use umbrella no matter what, I rather get wet or walk under the sun without carry an umbrella. After came to manipal, umbrella is the thing I will always bring to class likewise to everyone in the college. It has 3 functions as what our seniors have told us
  • Cover yourself for real real hot sun
  • Of course cover yourself from rain but this function doesn't work during monsoon season cuz the rain will come from different direction and eventually everyone will get soaking wet after reached the lecture hall. So, it's seem useless to carry umbrella at that time. (seldom rain during summer, like now)
  • Cover yourself from birds' shit cuz a lot of crows flying around

I bought the umbrella for almost one month. It is spoilt at the edge after I used it for two weeks. Don't care la.... the umbrella is not cheap at here. 170 indian rupees...if every month I need two umbrellas, it is really a waste of money.

The Road Taken

Wah, just finished my anatomy test today. Felt a bit relieved cuz last whole week I've been studying anatomy till I really fed up already. I'm happy with my result cuz I never give myself too high expectation but I did try my best. Rather be an average student at the same time having fun and enjoy uni life. Now my routine is every morning 8am go for lectures, all the lectures usually end at 5pm in evening. By the time lectures end, I feel really tired cuz all the new stuff I've learned on that day really saturate my brain. If still able to move, I will go to play basketball with friends. I've found some of my classmates who like to play basketball, all of them are JPA malays (very few chinese girls in my class and most of them do not play any sport). Feel great cuz it's really hard to find basketball mates especially girls. Guess what?? They are quite pro. I really can improve my skills by playing with them. After doing sport and dinner, I will just go to library till it is closed. Back to room, study or online till I feel sleepy then go to bed. The next day same routine will be repeated again. Though it is quite busy, tiring and stressful, I know this is my life for this coming 5 years, at least I'm doing what I like and I'm loving it. Guess I really chose the right road for the sake of my interest and myself. At here time passes damn fast cuz I really get myself occupied with studies on weekdays and activities on weekends. By the way, I really addicted to caffeine nowadays and at here every where sells coffee. Able to get a small cup of coffee with 5rupees. Caffeine is really in great demand at here. I'm feeling sleepy and tomorrow still have anatomy presentation. Good night guys and HAPPY APRIL FOOL.
