A Place Like Home

Life in University Teknologi Mara feels like living in prison.

My faculty is in the Shah Alam stadium, yes…inside/around the football stadium. That crappy, neglected, low maintenance stadium is supposedly our sanctuary. Sometimes the lift breaks down so we have to walk four floors up in the dark. Sometimes we’ll be walking in darkness due to black outs. The best part, most of the time half way getting knowledge from the lecturers, the air-condition can just stop. There are no windows in our class so we can die of natural death.

I don’t know why but I feel Shah Alam is extra HOT. With the sun and the heat, we can also die of natural death. When the haze contaminated our country (Whoever did it! You lil’ mo’ fo’s!) I could feel the heat burning my skin. That was hell.

I have 10 subjects. 10!!!! Law students have 3! And most of it are pretty boring and tough. I don’t know why but we gotta learn psychology and shits like that. The classes that I like are mostly practical classes. Which are only 2 classes! Haha! Typical me. Who likes theory anyway? Unless your left brain works better than your right brain. Hoki and Hoka.

I have an English subject. Woohoo? Hamlo’s ass! I’m basically learning primary school’s English!

Dr. Peter Pereira: Repeat after me class. ‘Is she going to the mall tomorrow?’
Class: 'Is she going to the mall tomorrow?’
Dr. Peter Pereira: Again.
Class: 'Is she going to the mall tomorrow?’
Mahani: Get me outta here!
Harith: Huh? Zzzzzzzz….

My university’s orientation was more than hell. Forgot to write bout that. Long story though but here I’ll just keep it short. For a start we sleep at 2 wake up at 4 then walk up the hill then walk down the hill, eat rice and hard boiled egg (how pathetic) then walk up the hill then walk down the hill again. Basically, we did a lot of walking! I only enjoyed the last 3 days (I was there for a week for your info!) cos I get to perform for the closing ceremony. Heheh… Dancing and performing just light up my life…

Sigh… I miss dancing… right after Rexona I was like “Thank You Lord!” a few days later I was like “Baaaaah! I wanna dance!”
