finally i shall get down to bussiness, BLoGGIN BOUT INDONESIA. i'm currently sitting in a tutorial room waiting for lecture to start, suppose to b studyin since i'm returnin to m'sia o sat, but screw it, decided to blog instead, will make up for it tonite...
okie, here's the scoop ya, 1st day was not all it was cracked up to be, my flight wuz at 2.30pm, so my family left home bout 12.00 noon, headed to the airport, throughout the whole car ride i got lovely smses from my mates bidding me farewell, oddly none of the clan other than dawn called me to say bye bye, at that pt, i knew they were gonna show up at the airport(lovely friends i have). then arrived at the airport n waited for my agent, at that point i had my 1st encounter wif my batchmates from the same agent... there was Willam Yap, Navaneethan and Mageswari(nice ppl, really nice, no i take it back, mages is nice, the other 2, u shall understand later as i unfold the rest of my life in jogja)..
true enough my friends showed up at the airport. I was kinda shocked to c so many ppl, more shockin, justin brought his lovely girlfriend, so nice of him to finally intro us(thats wat good friends do k). we ate, laughed, took loads of pics, chit chatted, all this while my dad waited in line to check me n him in... heheh, sorry daddy... newayz, it was a teary goodbye on my mother's end, i was numb, so i didn cry. we did manage to steal in a few more shots juz as i was bout to enter boarding area. sorry mummy, i love u, but somethings juz doesnt get me tearing.
apparently after i left, my mum triggered a chain reaction n made shee wuee cry. After that, i entered the boarding area, lugging my extremely overweight baggage, due to excessive packin(lets juz say the size of my luggages scared the boys n made mages happy that she didn have the biggest bag). thank god my dad came along to indo. it was my 1st time in LCCT so i was kinda shocked to c how simple the boarding area looked, while waiting to board the 4 of us introed ourselves to each other, while my dad took his time to slaughter my agents with his anger due to their poor management skills. it was kinda weird in the beginning coz i was the only one hu had a parent chaperone whilst the others were on their own.... fine, my dad is overprotective!!!NUFF SAID...
okie, it was a tiring 2.30hour plane ride(my 1st time on air asia). sat seperated from the rest on the plane, coz its on 1st come 1st served basis, but i'm sure every1 else in m'sia knew bout this b4 me... JOGJAKARTA, INDONESIA was the destination. n there's time difference, i gained an hour when i traveled to jogja. one the plane there were a huge bunch of students, really noisy, didn noe hu they were or where they were from(little did i noe, not knowing that info would come haunting a few weeks later during orientation, dun worry, u'll understand later).
we landed, checked out n were greeted my Ms.Kiki, our liason from the uni, very nice lady. they loaded all of us into a van n used a separate mini lorry to transport our baggage(juz imagine, juz 4 students n they needed a mini lorry for our luggage, scary eh).... we reached the hostel, i got out of the van wif a cramped leg, due to the awkward position i was sitting in the van. the first thing i saw when i reached was this sign that said "COWOK DILARANG MASUK", which means no boys allowed. i took a good look around of the outside of the hostel then i went in, the place basically looked like a dump(honest words) they were still during renovation, refurbishing n all that crap. it was bloody annoyin to imagine living here for a year. then they showed us to our mages n i to our temporary rooms coz our actual rooms were undergoing cleaning. i was so totally upset when i saw the room, it looked dead n was practically the size of a large closet... tiny ppl, tiny... i will show y'all pics soon. it had a tiny tiny attached bathroom which barely had room to move in. n the toilet, the toilet ladies n gentlemen was a piece of artwork la, no flush!!!! can u believe it, this bloody developing country had no flushes in most of its toilets... its juz the basic elevated bowl. Sad case... all i wanted at that point was to go home, i missed home so much, i sat in that tiny room n moped, juz moped. i cudn call home coz my phone has no international roaming n my dad was at his hotel room so i cudn use his phone either.... at that pt, i basically hated indo.... then nite came n we got ready to go out for dinner, coz it was our agents job to get us aquinted wif jogjakarta n its surroundings.... okie, b4 i go on, let me give u a crash course on bahasa indonesia 101...

thats juz the basics of basics la, there's so much more, n gets harder coz they speak at the speed of light, u tot m'sian r fast, u shud try speakin indo to an indonesia, its like a debater getting her/his ass kicked twice down south....
newayz, b4 dinner, the caretaker showed mages n i a couple of rooms for us to choose from, we got dibs coz we were the 1st to arrive(yay)...1st they showed us 2 rooms in the lower ground floor, moderate size, very cooling, adequate... then 1 room in the 1st floor, extremely tiny, pathetic location, in adequate... then finally showed us one room in tha balcony, huge ass room, excellent accesibility, rite at the balcony near clothes drying and washing area.... so mages n i were like, u only have one of these rooms? mas says, 'iya'... then he gave us till the end of the nite to decide.. we went for dinner n during dinner she asks me, so have u decided, n in my head i was thinking, is there much to think bout? obviously both of us wanted the big ass room... we were in such a dilemma, neither knew hoe to resolve the matter, even the boys were laughin at our dillema(not funny)... boys had perfectly new rooms with pretty bathrooms n everythin, it was newly built... so finally my dad says, 'let luck have its way, y dun u flip a coin?'
TO BE CONTINUED.....
