Behold, the power of coffee! End semester.

It's been awhile since my last update, a month and some days. Not gonna sums up the first semester in University since the answer would be quite boring as expected. Uni/college life, if I really need to sums up all in one word for the first semester, I would say: fine.

Since it's the first semester and not much actually happened, go to school, back from school, sleep, eat, assignments, presentation and so on. Probably already adapted to this kind of life and I have to maintain it consistently for 3 years, great.

Final is coming next week and I'm almost done with my revision, just need some more extra tutorials exercises, then for the rest just depends on what I've learnt and general knowledge, God bless me. May my days be short, night be short, finals be easy, and my coffee be strong. After finals will be a one month semester break, and Christmas. Still have no ideas on what to do and where to go during Christmas but most probably will just stay at home hitting the button on laptop and scream and yell while pwning some people's head over Dota 2. Hell yeah.

I've spent quite a lot of money this semester on some personal belongings, gadgets, and furniture for my new room and for myself. Some frizzy and chips for free time, and most of the money on food. Being a food hunter is not easy though, you need to have some modal before you grab you bites from a new place, where you need to discover yourself on food, whether it's yay or nay.

After next week, I'll be at home. Will update if there's any event coming on and hopefully I get to know where to shopping or hangout during Xmas.

Single bell, single bell, single all the way. Happy Singles 1st year Anniversary. Thanks ex.

Day 7 in UTAR

  As I mentioned in the title, day 7 in University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). Everything just fine and went smoothly within the past week. Recently I'm quite busy with some chores so I don't really have time to update this little blog. Since I'm here and today is weekend, other than having to deal with assignments, I've decided to spare some time to update this blog for reference purpose, as get stuck in between assignments and homework is boring. To refresh my mind before I start to do my work again , this place is a good getaway for me.

  First of all, the campus is gorgeous, as the scenery in this campus is quite fascinating. As I don't really took photos of the campus so I will just borrow some of photos from Google below later. The weather here is freakish, 5 mins before the sun is shiny and freaking hot, 5 mins later you can see heavy downpour just happen right in front of you. So umbrella is an essential tool with me to deal with this kind of weather that can instantly kill somebody who is not used to it. Too frustrated.

Here are some landscape of the campus (pictures resource www.google.com, I don't owned those photos):

WEST LAKE




LAKE OF UTAR KAMPAR, SURROUNDING

  These photos are some of the landscape and scenery around the campus though there are still much more buildings around the campus. Anyway, the scenery here for me is quite good. Mountains and hills and lakes. A decent place for study.

  As for the workload in campus, still yet to be discover and it's still the first week. I'm still adapting to the culture here and the way people living here. Basically this area doesn't have much entertainment and if you're from urban area and let's say if you are a party animal or social freak I assume that you won't like this place as there is no shopping malls or pubs or clubs nearby. The nearest located near Ipoh which will take around 1 hour of driving to reach there, which I think still quite some distance from the campus. But eventually you will use to this place.

  Assignments and coursework are provided and you have to do it and probably for all the students here. Rumors from local students are heard that it's a University that is easy to enter but require efforts to graduate. So all the best for all the students here and hope you can excel as well as finding your way of life here.

  There are old town and new town which is significant for newly intake students to take note. Both the towns with their own styles. Literally, old town, old building that somewhat resemblance old decades with all kinds of old shop and perhaps a wet market. Too bad I don't have photos to provide because I haven't visit the whole town yet. A town that you will find nostalgia in it. As for new town, literally new town with lots of shops and supermarket and sports complex and all kinds of buildings including The Grand Kampar Hotel, student hostel, housing area, local secondary school and also Westlake International School. Waiting for you to discover yourself.

THE GRAND KAMPAR HOTEL

  Anyway, it's a new place to discover. Neither a luxurious nor austere town, just average. I would recommend this place if you're searching for a tranquil place to continue your studies. A choice of yours, it depends on yourself. Different universities has different policies. These are just my opinions and it's just for reference purpose. Lastly, I hope I can cope with it. Best of luck to myself and it's time to head back to do my assignments.



Peace guys, see you in the next one.
