Balik kampung

Yeah, I have book ticket to go back Medan on 21st next week and will get my passport on the day before the flight. A bit risky I know. Still I trust the student service to settle it.

It’s gonna be the biggest family gathering in my whole life. Aunties and cousins that I haven’t seen for don’t know how many years will back to Medan. Grandma house gonna be crowded with kids. Lot’s of stuffs to catch up with my parents, aunties and a few cousins whom I never see before since they were born. This is really a rare chance for all of us to gather. And it’s around Hari Raya. Will back here after a week and get ready to move out. Anyone willing to help me move out and lift the stuffs? Hehe.Lalala.. happy mood.. Balik kampung yuk…

Miss you, dear.

The sisterhood time

I was digging my photos (digital and print) when I saw the pictures of three young ladies that once were so closed to each other. The sisterhood time.

2004, We started as strangers that happened to be housemate and new friend at college. Things happened within a week and we all become housemates @ A0603 until B0606.We share almost everything, we go shopping together, we share the story together, we give advice to each other, we have fun together, we comfort each other, we support each other, we sleep together, we quarrel and so on. We were like sisters.

But the sisterhood time can’t last long. Things change. People change. The one who can’t accept and follow the changes will be left behind. Slowly the small hole became bigger and bigger. Like a circle, we turn back to strangers.

Sad. Yes, I am. Wish I can turn back time. But I’m so grateful for the time I had with them. For their presence and support when I was down. For everything.

In 3 weeks time, I’m gonna move out from the place that I called home when I’m in Malaysia. I will leave the place, the house that is full of the sweet and sour memories. The house that I stay for 2 years and a month. B0606, the silent witness of the sisterhood time.

Hazy season

The haze is back in action! Duh… Now South East Asia’s country got 3 seasons already. Dry, wet and hazy season. Not bad huh?

When I walked to outside, it’s just so hot, not a normal hot like usual. It’s like my feet is kena heat/steam. Like there is some hot spot underground. Every step is getting worse.

Pokoknya nga enak banget. Panas. Gerah. Susah bernafas. Kulit perih - perih. Tenggorokan perih. Perasaan nga enak. Pengen marah - marah terus. Ups..

Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Haze, why you always come to visit us every year? And bring more and more of your relatives until we can hardly see the building from far? Salah siapakah ini?

LAN interview

Supposingly I can relax and do my assignment at home today. But I got to wake up early and went to college for a briefing. Guess what it is about, briefing about interview with LAN (Lembaga Akreditasi Negara). Yes, people from LAN gonna come and interview us, the so called selected students, about LUCT, the lifestyle, the program, whether it is accreditated or not, bla bla bla.There are year 1 students, year 3 students (here I am now with the sem 5 students), and alumni, for GD. One group is about 10 students whom according to them is not a general sample but specific sample that are reliable. They (college’s staffs) said it is once in 5 years, that it is extremely important for the Diploma program that we are taking now. We can graduate and continue next sem or not is depend on this. Huh? Mengancam yah ceritanya? -___-”

He (the Indian staff who did the talking all the time) said there is no script but there is a few conditions. “For year 1 students, you have to say as if you have wanted to get in this college for your whole life. For year 3 students, you have to say as if this college is your life. For alumni, you have to say sth like this college has did a big impact in your life.” His words is sth like that. Somemore he asked us to go back and do some research on LUCT, about the philosophy (phai se la we all don’t know about it), about the KLC (Wings Coffee at KL), about our program, bla bla bla.

What?

You want me to say as if this college is my life? You want me to say how ‘good’ this college is while you all already know how broken it is inside? And now you want us, the students to polish it for you? I did lie before (ehem ehem), but in this case, I can’t do it. So sorry la.

Tomorrow and wednesday is the rehearsal, they will guide us how to talk with the ministry people in a more professional way. Thursday and friday is the DAY, all of us have to stand by and be alert at college. Not to forget to wear black, the branding of LUCT, and no slipper like what I wear today. Eh please la, I also know on the day have to wear formal, I just got no other nicer slipper already. So many people wear slipper to college also. Give me money then I buy la. Chew. Somemore today I purposely come for your stupid briefing and have to wait bus back home at 3pm, wait 3 fucking hours at college. Worthy or not? Grrr… I don’t wanna waste my time to say sth untruth, sth I can’t tolerate and I don’t know how to say the good side of LUCT. So I told Pat that I can’t do it. Thanks for the understanding. Good luck for all who involve in the interview, Ummi salah satunya. Hohoho.Lalala…. 1..2…3… Menghitung domba dan tidur…. ZZzz… Raining now.. BBbbrrr… Sweet dream everyone. Tomorrow will be a better day.
