gradually, my homesick feeling starts to go away. but I'm stuck here anyway for the rest of the year except for Christmas. when I thought KL was actually driving me mad, it wasn't.. because it was all in my head.
when I was still trying to get used to the environment in KL, I started it by being friends with my crazy housemates.. the guys were; Musson, Vincent, Adib, Erwan, Nursultan, and Julius. all of them... I can say, are crazily cool. and at that time, I'm more used to talking with Musson, whom is also a Sabahan himself and coincidently, HE'S MY COUSIN! and another coincident, his dad and my dad were housemates too back in their college days.. how ironic.. but still, that's cool. quickly, I got along well with all of them.

well, then for the rest of my days, this has been my daily routine; wake up, bath, breakfast, college, lunch, college, home, study, sleep.
it's not much difference compared to school.. there are some difference though like, there are only 3 subjects per day and 2 hours per subject, easier focus, and of course you have to always be independent.. gotta be careful with my spending and all. luckily my parents would bank in money into my bank account every once in a while if I don't spend too much.

this actually cost me RM10+ |
but sadly, spending quite a lot in Kuala Lumpur is kinda a MUST. it's pretty hard to find a place where it is at least cheaper than ordinary shops around KL. for example, sometimes in one day, I could finish RM20! and I said sometimes okay.. if it were everyday, I might even be promoted to shopaholic status.. spending at least an infinity per day. that would also mean bankruptcy for me (O_O)". my daily spending are mainly on food and drinks.. so I should be able to survive at least for a month.. and maximum for.. a month... oh well..
so far, it has only been my 2nd week in college, I've already done lots of notes for maths, bio, chem, and physics. chem is currently the hardest as I have to understand a lot of things to understand one concept! but it shouldn't be hard for me to get it because it's not that hard to get good focus here.. you know, no television, video game consoles, etc. the only source of entertainment and connectivity is my phone and laptop. and it is good now that I don't feel so lonely anymore.. I've gotten lots of friends already, mostly in other intakes (April and June). though I'm already friends with my own intake mates, they would prefer to be going "solo" instead of going out together.. but still they're cool and awesome anyways when we're all together in class.
April and June students are big in numbers.. around 45+ students and April is still growing in numbers after the Raya holidays. my class however only have 8 students.. 4 pairs.. and I meant 4 guys, 4 girls. so, who runs the class?? no one.. sorry Beyonce.. :p
do I have any more to say? maybe the pics here can help you better picture on what's KL life revolving around me..

fooling around with the internet |
this is where I sleep.. seriously |
that's a wrap! and did I say there's a part 3? yes, there will be a part 3! in part 3 I will blog about the cool people I've met so far in my new life in Kuala Lumpur. until then, tata!
ADVISORY: DO NOT EVER STUDY HARD... STUDY SMART!
Hello zack, nice piece of writing.Those pictures tells a thousand words. You seems to be a person who has been brought up well discipline by your wonderfull parents..coz you seems to be well organise with yourself..getting along with multinational and local friends..your money spending..ye ye keep it up. Moving to a new apartment in a new city can be stressful sometimes, but not knowing anyone in your new location can leave you feeling lonely as well.But you I can see you didn't take long to settle yourself down in your new place. We go to new places and learn new skills based on current environment as a person grow out into the independent world.One need to put some effort to study smart too.Cheers brother
