First week in Kampar!

Hey guys!

My first week here in Kampar wasn't much of a fun thing to talk about, considering that there were a few factors that made it UN-fun. omg. where do i start.

I GOT SUNBURNT! haha.

yeap......that's how hot Kampar is. You'll be safe as long as you don't cycle under the sun from 11am-3pm.

And the management in UTAR have been giving me and a lot of other students problems regarding the timetable. Got transfered like...3 times to different classes until I got so fed up, i just told them i want to stay put in the tutorial group I choose. And of course, i chose the tutorial group which had the best timetable! LOL. For all the days in the week except Tue and Thurs, I wake up late and come back early. =DDD

earliest class on my timetable is 9.30am and latest is 6pm-8pm(Tuesdays). Thurs no class! wahahahaha. awesome right?

Anyway...this is my long lost friend, Ganesan from Foundation.

Yeap...he likes donating blood.

And here's something interesting I wanna show you guys. I was looking for a place to park my bicycle near the block I was visiting but I couldn't find any of the bicycle bays around. So I stumbled upon this lot of bicycles, thinking that it was a bicycle bay...but NOOO......it wasn't.

At first I was a bit hesitant, but then I thought to myself;

"I'd like to see UTAR chain up all these bicycles!"

And FYI, this is not the whole lot of bicycles. There's a whole lot more on the left side.

So i parked there anyway...for my convenience. =]

You know what they say... "When in Rome, do as Romans do."

Then a good old friend of mine, Daniel Tan, showed me around the whole of Kampar area...like...literally...the whole area of Kampar. (almost all of it to say the least)

Since I'm staying at East lake, he showed me around there first...but there's nothing to see there actually...except Tesco and a lot of buffalo shit and cow shit. (AND I AM NOT KIDDING YOU). *feels the urge to take a documentary and post it up in the next update...*

ANYWAY!

He then took me to West lake, and everything there was really happening! The pubs, restaurants, Cyber Cafes, boutiques (female fashion only), pool centres....everything is there. West Lake is also known as Kampar New Town. Hence, the happening-ness. It would have cost a lot to live there...and there are a lot of distractions. So i'm pretty glad im staying in East lake. =]

Next was Kampar Old Town. It was a really nice experience going there. Everything seemed very relaxed and very slow. The only modern stuffs there were the banks and telecommunication shops. And the Cendol there costs only RM1.30! But i only like it coz of the green cendol & price...the gula melaka was quite a bit of a letdown.

So after lunch, me and Dan headed back home, but my bicycle chain snapped along the way and I injured my leg, had the paddle swinging hard into the side of my lower calf when the chain snapped. So me and Dan walked for about 20 mins under the hot blazing sun to the nearest bicycle shop to get a replacement chain for my bike. No wonder I got sunburnt...

But anyhoo, thanks Dan for showing me around Kampar! Appreciate it a lot. =)

So my week stretched on all the way until Friday...and I left Kampar to go back to KL! hahaha. A lot of people kept teasing me about the fact that I was already going back home on the first week. But i'm not afraid to admit that I do miss my home, family and my friends...a lot. Although I really love the freedom and independence here...I also miss having my family and close friends around me too.

So yeap! That was pretty much my first week! And i've started my second week already...will update soon about it.

Cya! =]

Oh btw, my internet is working fine already. =D
