Money Crisis

Can't believe it, its already more than a week here in Sabah. I already expect that I'll spend quite some amount of money, however the rate of spending is much much more than what I expect. Including the rental for the house, I had spend more than 500 bucks. OMG!! Not exactly the figure that I would give in my 1st week back here in Sabah. I was in total shock by the figure. Got a few text books, and they are definately not cheap. And 2 of them is think and heavy. Ouch. This semester we got a few promising good lecturers. Had some interesting classes in the 1st week. One of the few classes that I was dying to attend back here in UMS is Japanese. This year, my japanese teacher is Chiew Tung Moi. Although I originally wanted Oike-sensei to be my teacher, however the only time i can enter his class is at night. However, I'm not interested in going into a night class. Therefore i had to join other sensei's class. Its not bad. Many of my friends is in the same class.

We already had divided ourselves into groups for assignment and group presentation. My group members are all new friends which 2 of them are from software engineering. Looking forward to start the assignment with them. Chiew-sensei asked us to give her our objectives for learning japanese for the 3rd semester. However, my sole objective is to understand japanese well so i can have more understanding when watching anime and reading their manga. If possible, i would also like to advance to reading some japanese light novels which is very interesting and some of them are made into anime's. However this reason wouldn't be a solid reason to give to the teachers. =.=".

This semester will be a very very busy one as my timetable is very full. Had classes everyday which is from morning and last into the evening. I even had to wake up early on Saturdays as I joined the Fencing Club. When I entered UMS, I was attracted by 2 kokurikulum, which is Archery and Fencing. I somehow manage to enter Archery as my kokum. And is proud to say I had a chance to enter the competition for archery between universities. The offer is very tempting and its a rare chance that i perform so well in a sport. "(I am generally not that good in sports)" I would get to use an advance bow(its expensive), have my own customized length of arrows and other stuff. I really really really wanted to enter it. However, due to certain cercumstances i didn't enter it. I now have the chance to enter Fencing. Yeah!! Looking forward to the 1st training session this saturday. Had a basketball game with friends at 6am then at 9 i have fencing at UMS. Nice to play some sports here as i rarely done so during my 1st year.

Going to watch Hellboy II with my housemates, who some are also my coursemates in a newly opened shopping complex. Hope that i will enjoy my day there.

The Lock Sawing Ceremony Round 2

As if sawing the lock in front gate wasn't enough, we had to saw the lock the the back door. Same results, sawed the damn thing within minutes. Don't buy that brand of lock. No wonder breaking into a house with these kinds of lock is a breeze.

Well, the cleaning of the house continues. We've sweep and mop the whole house. Threw away a lot of stuff. Its been a while since i do this kind of heavy cleaning. We had to wash a lot of things. We strip the fridge and wash it from head to toe. Don't know how the seniors can use the fridge with its horrible condition. Cleaning the kitchen was a nightmare for me as there was a lot of nasty little critters lying away silently waiting to scare its prey. And there you have it. The damn critters are cockroach. Out of all the bugs, I'm most afraid of is cockroach. And there were a least 5 under a box and in between some bricks. Hell break lose when all of them scatter around the whole kitchen when our brave friend spray pesticide on them. Immediately got out of the kitchen and close my room door. My room is just outside the kitchen. If they ran into my room, i swear there'll be a murder that night.

After cleaning the whole day, we had a good rest that night with a dota game. LOL. Its been a long time since i had a 5v5 game with friends. Although i lost all 3 matches i still had fun. After the game i still had 3 hours worth of anime waiting for me to catch up.

The next day, which is today, we cleared the back of the house. There were so much rubbish and dead leaves and branches, it was hell. We had to use at least 7 or 8 big plastic bag to get rid of those stuff. You can imagine it. While cleaning it started to rain a little bit. Then stop, then a heavy one came. Luckily it didn't last very long and we were able to continue with the cleaning. Didn't took any pictures of the house, will do it later. I'm very satisfied with the current condition of the house.

New start at Sabah

Things are much different here compared to home. Of course, this is expected. As stated in Chung Vi's blog, The gate's lock has been sliced by a couple of engineers. These are the aftermath of the problem made by the stupid lock. It deserves this as it has cost us some problems. The night before cutting up the lock, a few of my friends came to play dota. However, the lock is a small problem and my friends had to climb over the gate to enter the house. *This is what Uni students do to get their hands on dota*

The dead lock.


Sawed withing minutes. And i had slept through the entire process. Didn't even notice the sound made by sawing.


You are the man.


The lock cutting event was in the morning. In the afternoon, I went to Karamusing to apply for the streamyx line and also do some shopping. Got a few things. Just within a few days at Sabah I had spend quite a lot of money and is expected to increase. OMG!! Will spend less on entertainment and snacks this semester due to the heavy usage of cash in the first week. Unless anyone is kind enough to donate some to me. LOLZ.

Back In Sabah

Been neglecting my blog for quite some time. Didn't find anything interesting to put in. Unless i count those games and animes i've been downloading. Can't download much anymore till the next holidays. I'm back in Sabah.

My flight was originally 5.10pm, however it was delayed till 5.40. Thankfully it didn't delay any further. The flight was like my other flights. After this flight, it'll be another 5 months then i'll take another flight home. Planning to visit Sarawak at the end of my semester.

Reached my house at about 9pm. Its kinda messy and need lots of cleaning up to do. Luckily my room was already nice and neat.(Thx to Stephen) Just need to clean my furnitures and move them into my room. The internet connection here is not bad. I'm very satisfied with the room and its much more better than the one i had in the hostel. Things has begun to settle down. This weekend will spend most of the time cleaning the rest of the house. I used up quite a bit of money to get some stuff. Hopefully i won't need to spend a lot more. Taking it easy for now.
