USM, Penang, 2nd week, 2nd day...

>> SEE The Bus? How packed is it? Stil wan to squeeze ppl in.. terrible lar..This is Penang


Second week here in USM penang... finally finished with the orientation week here in USM.. was quite hectic though.. have to run here and there.. but really did trained my stamina well.. everything was so different here.. car plate no. here starts with 'P', food are different, some nice some ok, lots of foods too, and the thing that makes me feels uneasy here is the public transport here.. Its really hell eh... small buses, and i mean mini ones here and even if it is big ones, its only like the CLL wan without air con wan in KCH.. and the worst thing is, they take bus like robbing eh.. ppl squeezing into bus without observing the limit.. at bus stations, bus company workers are shouting to passengers as if we are refugee, wanting to escape the country.. their famous phrase: 'Sungai Dua, USM!! NAIk, NaIk, NaiK' walau eh... even when u are standing, they wil jus ask u to move towards the back and squeeze more ppl in.. Bus drivers can even stop jus by the road side stall with a busload of passengers and then shout to the taukeh ' Cola sejuk satu!!' Wad kinda civilisation is this?? Wondering if they should indicate the max no of passengers somemore with how many sitting and standing while they are ignoring it.. and WHAT THE HECK ARE PENANG LPKP DOIN??? its happening on every bus in Penang!! i jus cant believe it!!! but tats the bus issue.. Sarawakians here are quite united as we have a union called 'shahua' where we will gather together with seniors from sarawak and have dinner.. and i experience the bus 'squeeze' when they brought us shopping jus las Sunday at Komtar and also Gurney Plaza.. ShaHua wil also be organizing a round islang trip this coming sunday for all of us.. wil be nice then.. jus looking forward for it... got a few friends in the same faculty as me from Sarawak as well too.. namely Peter from Green Road and also Chun Ling from Stampin.. and of course west malaysian friends.. some chinese from perak, malays from all over malaysia... from perlis to johor... haha... Food inside USM is also quite ok i would say... jus hope i wont be a Malay in 3 yrs time.. cos mostly are malay food here... some are nice some are not.. at my hostel o Desa they called it.. its not very nice.. but here in USM, i have got the priviledge to choose food from 6 Desas.. so pratcically i have tried all of it though have to walk far for some.. even goin up and down hills... only one stall selling chinese food here.. haven tried it though... but wil try it asap.. Here, i would also like to thank my friend, whom is much much more older than me, for helping me to book a room at Gurney Hotel with corporate rate for 4 days and 3 nights.. stayed there before school starts and wondered around at Guenry area.. Lots of stalls and food there esp at night and is highly recommended to those not from penang.. should try.. bout the room.. its really fantastic.. two beds, a big bathroom even with jakuzzi, a set of sofa with tv, dining table and also a writing table.. Guess how much is it? only RM 140 per night eh... cheaper than staying in Damai.. haha.. Thanks pal.. and also thanks to my mum and sis and also foster sis for coming here together with me.. for the support and also energy spent.. really do appreciate tat a lot.. guess wad?? i am writing this in the computer lab in my faculty... ClaSS CANCEL AGAIN!!! No LECTURER COME!!! this is the second day!! really hate this kinda happening.. waste of time... i think tats all from me for the time being..... tell u guys more bout penang after the round island trip maybe.. haha... oh ya.. most probably i wil be goin bac to kch in end of aug for mid sem hols as i have dropped the Police Cor.. so tat means no more training for me.. so sad.... very very sad for not being able to join tat... k lar.. see ya all then.. to those out there.. take good care of urself..
