LOL i know this picture has nothing to do with UNI, but i found it somewhere and i love it =)
OK back to the above topic =D
Yesterday I attended my first day of orientation.
The night before I said to myself I wanted to try the public transport, to see whether it will save time and bring me there faster. So I did, the next morning I reached the KTM station at 7.15am, waited for the train nearly 20minutes. Board the centre of train that is specially for ladies only. Everyone rushed in before the people in the train could come out, typical malaysians. It was so cramped up in the train and I endured that for another 30minutes because the train was moving so slow comparatively to the MRT train back in Singapore that I’ve been sitting for the past 4 & half months.
Glanced at the watch the moment I reached and realized i have another 25minutes to rush to UNI as it was going to start at 8.30am. I walked as fast as i could to the bus station only to disappointed the second time seeing the long queue. I waited another 15minutes just for the bus, which makes it 8.20am. Relieved that i might be able to reach uni on time. Back in Singapore, we used this “ezlink” card whenever we board the train or bus which makes it super fast, but here, I had to wait so long for the bus attendant to collect money from each person, sigh. As soon as I reached the front of the bus, the bus attendant shut the door right in front of my face!! I knew that instance, I wont reach UNI on time. “GREAT! on my first day and i’m already late”. So i waited for the next bus, and the whole cycle repeated again. To cut the long story short, I reached UNI 45minutes late.
I went inside and all eyes instantly were glaring at me. *Embarrassed* by the looks given, I quietly got a chair and hide my face. So orientation started by a few speech from some big shot lecturers with one string of titles before their names. Considering the fact I didn’t have a good sleep the night before, my eyes were just few mm to closing as each minute passed by. After tea time and lunch, the never ending speech continued … and after that we made our way to the new campus at Jalan University.
To cut another part of the story short, we visited this place where the medical students carried out their experiments on dead bodies. I was wondering why did they bring us there when we have nothing to do with that. Maybe they thought that this will make our expedition around the uni more interesting. SO YES! On my first day of uni, i saw this dead body floating in ice water. Few more bodies were there but we opted out before they opened the other covers. OMGEee what a horrible sight on my FIRST DAY.
Basically that was what happened. I made my home with public transport and don’t worry i am not going to bore u another time with the major weaknesses in OUR public transport system. This whole week is orientation, and i nicely skipped today’s orientation because I’m sick. :D cheers to more exiciting uni experience!
