During the orientation day for UCSI, they have briefing, shows, lunch and a game. So we were given a paper with blank boxes with captions like 'Went clubbing before', 'Rihanna's haircut', 'Wearing a tank top', 'Has a dog, (name dog)', etc. We have to get people to sign the boxes. The group with the least boxes signed, gets it.
Some group getting punished.
In case you wondered, 50% of the new students are international students, mostly from Mid-eastern countries like Pakistan or Iran, and also Africa. Well, orientation just flew by and I didn't get to know people well. I have a few new acquaintances from Indonesia, Perak, Penang, Sarawak and Iran. I only get to see them when school starts.
In order to make up for KL Trip,
Yea aquaria in KLCC. I uploaded some of the pictures in Facebook.
Then where else?
Went online at Kinokuniya and bought a book too! It was on interior designing and some tips.
Next stop,
Muzium Negara. Well, the displays there are not exactly state of the art but I like them because being an archaeologist was once my dream! Not to mention astronomy too! So I went to Planetarium Negara via the link bridge from the museum.
It was totally tiring to go up to the planetarium! All we see is like steps steps steps like in KL Tower. Then I guess it was not a tourist hot spot eh? Not many people go there. Went I got up there, turns out that they were undergoing maintenance and renovation. So no picture taken. But I did take this in the theater room inside though.
It's actually a big dome. Very cool design.
The show was okay. Informative and educational. Good effects. I was almost in tears during the scene where Neil Armstrong sets foot on the moon and said, 'That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind.' It gave me goosebumps just by the thought of it.
A periodic table of elements with samples or examples of elements in some of the boxes.
Unlike in Singapore, I can just rest when I'm on the MRT, in KL, you better stay alert at all times. I hope KL does integrate its train systems in the near future.It would be a lot more convenient to get around interchanges. Taxis are okay as they run on meters. How do you get them to run on meters? Tell them where you wanna go and just get in. Don't ask the price. That is, act like a local, not a tourist.
Looking forward to my school days... I feel like I have a lot of things to prepare but I just don't know what. I hope I can quote Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan, Mean Girls): 'The first day of school was a blur, a stressful surreal blur.' But not the next line: ' I got into trouble for the most random things.' :D I will dye and highlight my hair soon, and of course introduce some of my new friends. I also joined SSLAA (Social Sciences and Liberal Arts Association) and I hope it is as fun as it sounds, hope to meet new friends. You know what? I actually can live by myself very well!
Watched the Beverly Hills Chihuahua and it was great! Where did I watch it? At Restoran Ali Baba (Indian restaurant) inside Angkasa Condo (where I'm staying). Gotta drink more water to prevent pimples from busting out like hell! I think I'm gonna be a regular customer there from now on. It's the nearest restaurant and they watch HBO and StarMovies too! Walking from my hostel to school is already a workout. I sweat when I arrive in school. By the way, my school is in the North Wing and I can only walk to South Wing, then take the bus shuttle service to go to the North Wing. I have a bad feeling now, don't know why.
Happy New Year! While everyone is cheering for the fireworks in KLCC, I slept :D
