INTEC-under one roof

It has been quite long since i last write about the life in INTEC. It's always hard to begin the story as there are too many of them.



I think the most happy time in my life started after i moved into the same unit with andrew, ryan and chin eu, in block 12. Although we don't really know each other much, thanks to andrew who brought us together. Funny though, chin eu and i came from the same class in secondary school but we seldom talk or even know each other much before we came here. It was a mere slip of fate that brought us together, throughout the A-level life in Shah Alam.


Sometimes i wonder whether it is fate or luck that i got JPA offer after i failed in the first try. I told myself by then, if i was not destined to be a doctor, then let me stay in F6 and i shall pursue my dream as a phamarcist. Days after that, i got the letter. In a blur, i know i was offered to study medicine in a strange place called INTEC(UiTM). I wasn't really excited by then, because i was a bit sick.

So in a hurry, i need to prepare all documents needed by JPA including medical check-up etc. May be too rush in a short time, i was sicked, really serious migrain that i admitted to hospital for 2 days...that's the day before the registration day in INTEC. So guys, now you know why i was late to school for a week.



First day at campus after a week late was really fearful. No body lead you to class, no direction, nothing. I found a guy on the way to his class and i asked him about my situation. He was in a hurry. So i wasn't able to get any info from him. Later he turned out to be one of my best friend, jun hui.

Thanks to an ALM senior who was reading newspaper at the ALG block who then led me to Pn. Rita. Yes, that was how i entered M1 in the first place. Then i switched to M8 because i was left out quite alot of topic since M1 is the first batch to entered.

From there on, my life just start to sparkle all the way throughout magnificent 2 years of A-level. Jimi was the first person to have spoken to me, followed by stephanie. Weird enough, i sat beside a funny indian guy, Siva who was a state debater, Negeri Sembilan...although sometimes i won over him in some argument. Haha.

Back to my housemate. It was really surprising that andrew become my roommate although i was closer to chin eu back then. A new experience i suppose. He is a nice guy, indeed. Not very convincing sometimes but he did cheer you up when you are down. Remember the time all four of us cooked the dinner with everything bought from Giant? Its really an atmosphere back then. Eating on the floor with all the specialties we cooked. Taste good too!

And remember the time when we all go out eat dinner together. Andrew will always be the leader to choose which shop to eat. Too bad you and chin eu left earlier, cause ryan and i found a quite nice place to eat just opposite our hostel.

Well of course the most important entertaiment for 4 of us, DOTA in CC nearby. I don't really remember whether i'm the one who taught all of you to start to play this game. But it was really fun, although andrew always complain people killed his character after we returned to our room. We will discuss non-stop on better strategy to play next time...there's always next time...=P

After you guys left the room, it was a bit silent without andrew conference with senior-junior in my room and without chin eu's elephant-foot-quake, wash cloth's sound and someone sit on the chair reading book early in the morning well prepared waiting for us to wake up one by one. Haha.

Then ryan and i will be seen side by side every lunch and dinner hour. We took turn to become leader. Oh, there was once we were eating at Ameralli(ex-name) and ryan vomited everything he ate into his plate in front of me. Gosh huh!

We play DOTA when we feel upset or leisure. It was really fun to have someone beside you to share the joy and sadness with you. Share about studies, gossips, latest informations in INTEC, new couples, friends problems, past year paper, exam question, study like hell during any exam, best food, best movies, best strategy in Dota, hate who and like who, love, and chess...miss all those things we did together in INTEC...

Although sometimes we fight...it will just fade within minutes. I don't really care what happen early but as long as we are still friend then it will be all OK. Both of us had up and down during different period...i was worry about the entrance to Charles Uni and you comforted me while you were worry about your Uni and i try to make you happy by going play games.

When it comes to girls affair...all 4 of us understand what happen in between. Really funny and reminiscing. And when come to sports, chin eu and i made it to champion in doubles. Bravo for that.



And all of 4 us who have separated in different angle of the world, wish you all a happy life and enjoy your study there. Miss everything we shared together last time.

For all my great housemates,

Thanks andrew for your friendliness that brought us together,
thanks chin eu for accompany me back home every week and a good listener,
thanks ryan for giving me great accompany, great teacher, and everything we share together.

Hope we all can once more stay under one roof and share everything again. And i apologise for any mistake i made or annoyed you all during the time we stayed together. Friendship forever.

Miss you all..
with tears...

My place

Its been awhile since i last post in this magnificent blog. Now i am no longer in my country, Malaysia but a place far far away, somewhere in the centre of europe, so they call.

Any idea? It is just Prague, capital of Czech Republic. It might sound a bit unfamiliar with this country in my place but its very popular amongst the EU countries.

Now this is the place that i'm going to stay for the next 6 years for my degree, MuDr. It is indeed a very nice place for you to tour around but for long stay here would be a bit of headache.

First of all, it is largely due to the far distance of my hostel from my campus, 30-50min to the furthest building! Imagine a class start at 8am in the morning...you have to wake up at...say 6.30am the latest! And imagine walking in the morning with wind blowing at temperature <10 degree celcius...ouch! For me, i feel as if i am walking in the large fridge meant to keep frozen chicken and beef, yeah...with the condensed air coming out from your mouth and nose as you breath.

Food is the second main factor. Its pretty hard to get food from around my hostel. Yes, the hostel do supply breakfast and lunch...but its until 2pm. And my class mostly finish after 3-5pm...Sometimes i have to buy bagety(type of bread with some salami or chicken or ect)

Food basically cost us RM10-RM20 for a normal meal we get from Malaysia. So its kinda sad that i can't always eat what i want...(although i don't care for the moment) =P

Transportation is rather cheap here...630 crown for 3 months...which is about RM100. But hostel rent is rather exp. It cost us 169 crown per night! Compared with 67 crown only in olomouc...when our allowance from JPA are about the same...sad.

And the metro(like KTM) here very effective...unlike the one in Malaysia...it move much faster(x5 speed of KTM). Very accurate as stated in timetable. Cool!

One thing weird about the hostel system is that the cleaning ladies are able to come into our room to clean up certain thing like floor and change new bedsheet...no security for out belonging...but as the people here are quite honest(as they said), so i trust them for the moment.

Temperature is dropping in my place...fluactuation is very high here as no sea surround this country. Winter will be hell for me if no extra heater in my room. The one available now is the hot water type that not very effective...that make me cold even its on!

I hope i could find a new apartment before the snow coming down.
