为什么怎么读都读不完的!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
眼泪不准流下来!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
书本在呼唤你了!!!! 去读书!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
在大马，中秋节... 我并没有大事庆祝...今年第一次在异乡过节, 我只有一句话:" 独在异乡为异客, 每逢佳节倍思亲" (糟糕，怎么鼻子酸酸的,,,忍忍忍!!!)
我不知道其他留学生的感受, 我只知道, 在大马时每天念着大马这个不好那个不好, 来到这个地方, 我们竟然会appreciate 原来大马也不是那么糟...因为"一山还有一山高"…
唉...原来外国的月亮并没有比较圆…
其他国家不确定, 至少现在的我, 看什么月亮都不圆...
*************************************************************************************
我很努力,不想再写很depress的post…
我不是没有读书， 我不是懒惰，我很努力了，我真的很想把书本统统都吃下去...
我还是不会回答老师们的问题... 我拿人民的钱来读书的…不可以浪费人民的钱啊~!!!!
回想当年中学的我, 真的不知道哪来的胆量相信自己可以读这类的course…
我已经来这里上课很久了,,, 难道我还处于适应期? 到底我要多久来适应!!!
我的自信, 大概很久没有跌到那么谷底了...
我不想对自己失望...
读书啦~

举头望明月, 低头思故乡...
1. I can’t find body shampoo in liquid form here, I could only found soap bar.
2. I can’t find book-end here
3. I can’t find test pad here, I could only found long notebooks (like our buku biru that kind)
4. I can’t find green tea here.
5. Plastic stuff is super expensive, eg: one waste-paper-basket-size pail cost Rs 100, a medium size pail cost Rs130 ; clothes hanger in 6 cost about Rs45-75.
6. Clothes hanger rack, a metal one(but get rusty easily) cost Rs600-700, a stainless steel one can cost up to Rs1350, I choose a hollow stainless steel kind which cost Rs1100..
7. There’ll be all kind of “admission fee” that we need to pay…
8. Ask from your senior how much is the hostel fee, hostel fee tends to increase every year.
9. Your senior will be your “saviour” in foreign country, ask for info about lecturers, exam style, recommended books, where to find food, where to buy stuff, where to buy books, how to call auto, how to bargain, how much is the normal rate of transportation, and about tempe and pisang goreng (you will know what this means)
10. When you guys arrived here, the climate is quite cooling and kinda chilling at night..bring tracksuits, jackets..wear socks while sleeping..better don’t get sick first few days, it’s gonna make you more miserable and make you homesick miserably…
11. Personally I feel that cash is quite important when you come to a foreign country, but do not bring too much cash with you too.
12. Help out each other is important.
13. Learn some Hindi and Kannada will be really helpful. Your local friends in campus can speak English without problem, but when you go outside the campus…that’s when you really need them.
14. Get used to “ke-tidak-stabil-an voltage” seriously.
15. Things in India is NOT CHEAP at all..Cost of living in India is NOT THAT LOW…Most of the stuff is almost the same price or even more expensive than our country..moreover, most of the things that you usually use in our country is difficult to find here…People back in Malaysia, your perception about India is TOTALLY WRONG.
16. Get used to the way they drive and they horn..
17. Get used to the cows crossing road and their “Gold”
18. Fruits here is expensive,eg: apples 120/125/130 per kg, oranges 110 per kg…
19. Get used to the spices they use to cook. No green leafy vege so far…normally you’ll see some dunno what bean, or some dunno what brinjal-like vege…even if it’s brinjal, it looks either yellow/red/orange…However, I personally feel that their dahl is good.
20. Be careful of what you eat and drink..Most of the guys of my batch already down with diarrhoea…Girls still very very healthy~!! LOLOL (just few of us caught a cold)
That’s all I can think of so far~
gonna update you people soon~!!!
I AM IN KLE UNIVERSITY~!!!!!! BLOGGING FROM MY HOSTEL NOW~!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay..let me summarise my trip to India:
12 JULY 2010 KL—BANGALORE
Reached KLIA around 5++pm, kinda early, but many KLE-ians were there already…had dinner, take pictures with families, checked in luggage (my check in luggage was only 20.7kg~!!!!!!!!!! haha, very light right~) after that camwhore session with families too~ hahaha…Keshan, Beh, and Selvan were there too!!! then, is the time where the officers gave us some short briefing..after that, 5 minutes to say goodbye to your beloved family..get your passport, boarding pass >> immigration/ custom…then walked really long way to the boarding gate…okay, next thing you realise is “eh,I’m on the plane heading to Bangalore~!!!! AHHHHHH~!!!!” the whole 3.5 hours flight was okay, MAS meal(curry chicken, curry cauliflower, salad, yogurt etc etc…) was quite nice actually..It’s gonna be a very sumptuous supper~ hahaha~ well, we experience quite/ a lot of turbulence..especially when we are reaching India…
Now, the plane is landing…and the next thing you realise is “ I AM STEPPING ON INDIA’S LAND ALREADY~!!!!!” YOU MAY CRY IN KLIA, YOUR TEARS MAY FLOOD KLIA, BUT YOU WILL DEFINITELY FEEL THE EXCITEMENT WHEN YOU HAVE REACH INDIA~!!!!!!!!!! ( I personally guarantee this… ^^ )
After all the immigration procedures, you start to learn to listen to *very difficult to understand* English..We put up a night in Presidency Hotel..The road from Bangalore International Airport is NICE~ just like our highway road~ forget to mention that when we reach Bangalore, it was raining there~ you’ll get on a bus and go to the hotel..they’ll be Indian driver helping you for the luggage, Don’t worry~
\ 
that night, you’ll be damn tired, so sleep tight~ have a good night rest for next day’s morning flight~!
13 JULY 2010 BANGALORE--HUBLI
wake up early in the morning for 8am flight from Bangalore to Hubli..during the breakfast in the hotel, I experienced the first “ke-tidak-stabil-an voltage” ~!!! understand what I mean? hehehe…just for a few seconds lah…on the way to the airport, notice their bump because it’s different from Malaysia~ ^^
Here’s the reminder..DO NOT TAKE TOO MUCH OVERWEIGHT LUGGAGE
, from my opinion) SO, overweight a little bit is still acceptable..(don’t lah overweight until 30kg because they might charge you extra for the overweight, one more thing is the plane might be overweight which is very dangerous so some of the “unlucky” luggage will be chose and send via CAR) Imagine from BANGALORE to HUBLI, it takes 12 hours for your baggage to reach..so,how are you gonna live through that night?
one more thing to take note is INDIA SECURITY SCREEN IS VERY STRICT and SCREENING OF HAND BAGGAGE IS CARRIED OUT SEPARATELY FOR FEMALE AND MALE
there will be signboard “for ladies”, so line up in that line~ just get your mind clear and follow the airport instrictions..
While getting our laptop bag to be scanned, just follow the officer’s instruction..they’ll ask you to take out your laptop from the bag, put in another plastic container to be scanned…and some of us “kena” this oso.after the scan, some bags “didn’t pass”, the officers ask them to TAKE OUT EVERYTHING from the bag, put in the plastic container and both the empty bag + plastic container going to the scanner again~ baru boleh pass..
then, after boarding at the gate, you’ll take a shuttle bus to the plane!!! and then ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT~!!! *there will complimentary snacks provided also*
Kingfisher plane is kinda small, (but more comfortable to sleep than MAS!)
saw this interesting page in one of the magazine on the flight to Hubli..HAHAHAHA
REACHED HUBLI AIRPORT
I really felt their hospitality..they gave us chocolates, sweets..and keep asking us whether are we hungry or not..they even brought us to a nice hotel for “brunch” which is DHOSAI~~~ and you will soon get used to the HORNS and the TRAFFIC~
after that, the 2 hour journey from HUBLI to BELGAUM in a open air school bus STARTED~!!! notice their plaza tol..it’s special…notice their LORRY, it’s so colourfull~!!!
(right) this one look more decent one…
okay, the hightway road was OKAY, not so bumpy as I imagine..and along the way from Hubli to Belgaum, it’s not so polluted, many plantation field..so, open air bus is not a problem.. and this part of the journey is very “meng-sleepy-kan”..hahaha~ i can even sleep better than in MAS~!!!
some of the views along the bus ride..
REACHED KLE UNIVERSITY *oh ya, we passed by Dharwad also, it looks like a very GREEN place, not much pollution~*
When a building written J.N MEDICAL COLLEGE is seen..means you’ve reached KLE UNIVERSITY~!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo~ on the right hand side of the main entrance is V.K. INSTITURE OF DENTAL SCIENC, on the left hand side area is the J.N MEDICAL COLLEGE~!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY, I’VE REACHED MY UNIVERSITY~!!!!!
ABOUT KLE UNIVERSITY
Within this university campus, you can find Mini mart(sells a lot of daily stuff,not much worries about that) , Cafe(yet to try that), Book shop (sells books of course and vodafone sim card), Bank, Western Union, Library (both medical and dental library,providing Xerox service which means fotostat lah~ 5 paise per page) , Dobi (yet to find out) , and in campus hostel~ and mess is the hostel food provider…
this is the in campus hostel for ladies~!!! ~Akkamahadevi Ladies Hostel~
(left) view from first floor (right) when we first enter our room~!!!!!!
after clean up, it became a cosy space of my own~ on the left, closer look on my study table~
almost forgot about the toilet…IT’S WAY BETTER THAN OUR COLLEGE~ there’s water heater too~!!! every morning, there’ll be “bai”, those Indian ladies help us to clean the toilet, and collect our laundry; every evening, there’ll be another “bai” coming to clean our room, throw the rubbish!!! Of course, you just need to pay them 100 rupees per month..
END OF 13 JULY 2010
It has been a long long day…the journey from KL-BLGR-HBL is tiring enough and need to clean up the room,unpack the luggage and parcel…it’s time to have a really really good sleep…
# Don’t think 2.5 hours of time difference doesn’t make much difference..(well,maybe on somebody this really doesn’t make much difference) but not on me…on the first 2 days, my body clock tells the brain “oh, it should be around 11-12 something now” but look at the watch “eh, it’s only 9 o’clock” (well, maybe that’s because of lacking of rest also)
# SERIOUSLY, India is not that hot now…In fact, even it’s afternoon 2pm, the wind that blow is NICE COOL BREEZE~!!!!!!!!!!! (not as cold as Genting yet lah,it’s nice) At night, it’s even chilling~ so, to all my friends who will be flying sooner or later, you may consider to bring few pairs of long pants and jacket.
# they’ll give you sweets when they don’t have small change..
# plasticware is kinda expensive..I bought one dustbin—100Rps…(divide by 13,you get the RM)
that’s all I can think of by now..
will update soon~!!!
