After the Kluang trip (Shisheng’s house) we went straight back to the college to book our air ticket, i was driving quite normal but this certain zhihong (haha) called me up while i was having breakfast telling me the air ticket for 4th June is sold out which makes me nervous then i started driving faster and faster. But luckily he managed to book the same date with another travel agent for few of us so ppl i’m flying off on 4th June. Anyway hv to thanks zhihong also for informing and helping us to book in advance as when i reached college for the deposit, ticket for 4th June are all taken. Luckily i didn’t get any speeding ticket during the trip =p
I spent the following week busy preparing for the documents to apply for a student visa, from filling up the application form to preparing the financial statement it was really very troublesome. Worse is during the day i went to Wisma MCA for application, the girl told me i filled up the form wrongly and asked me to go home, fill up the freaking long form which has 9 pages asking all sort of questions(from me to my parents to my university to my plans, answer until i sien), print it and make another appointment. Super duper zha dou. I went with Thomas anyway and he filled it up right so he settled it all that day while i went back home and do it all again, went there on the 2nd day and finally i got it right. Conclusion : it’s super troublesome, even the photo background have to be white rather than the one we normally take in studio for IC/passport which is in blue. Anyway credit to them as they are very efficient, i submitted on Tuesday and on Thursday it’s already ready for collection and tadaaa, i have my student visa now =D
On 30th March me and 15 friends took an overnight bus at Hentian Putra that head towards Kuala Besut, Terengganu. I’ve being planning this Perhentian trip when i was having my final exam, kinda reminds me of my times at myviclub =) Anyway we departed at 9PM and reached the jetty at 5AM. It was a bouncy ride and i could barely sleep and don’t worry if you want to ask me about the safety of the bus, i was kinda worried too!(lol, maybe that’s what causing me not to sleep on the bus as well). I don’t think i wanna take any long journey bus anymore, just so uncomfortable >.< Anyway we reached there safely and when we were there, it was dark and there’s barely any shop that is open. Luckily there’s this kopitiam uncle who is kind enough to open the shop and let us in to have a light breakfast + astro to keep us accompany. We spent 3 hours waiting for the boatmen as he only arrived at 8AM.(super boring waiting!!ya i hate waiting, just the nature of me)
We went to a Bubbles resort which is recommended by TaoYong’s cousin, well it’s chalet style and for the price we are paying i don’t have much to complaint. For the 1st day we do some snorkeling at the sea in front of the resort and in the afternoon there’s this confident class conducted by a worker named Rachel. When it started there’s like 7 of us but gosh, all my friends already knew how to swim and they just took off leaving me alone (ya ya ya, i don’t know how to swim -.-). Anyway she started it by asking me to float at really shallow area where i can stand but being a noob, i keep on standing feeling that i was gonna drown. She then seen enough and drag me to a deeper area where i couldn’t stand as my feet couldn’t touch the ground. Bit by bit and 2 hours later, i can just float and move around the water without any problem =D Sounds good until when i was about to bath in the toilet, i realized i forgot to apply sunblock and my skins are all red (after a month now from the trip, my arms are still so obviously darker than my body).
On the 2nd day we went for the snorkeling trip, looking for turtles and sharks as well. No luck for sharks but we managed to see the shadow of turtle during the search when it was swimming in the sea. Few of my friends jump down immediately but it swam really fast and that’s the closest we got to turtle. The usual drink and talk crap at night and without is even realizing, it’s already time to head back home. On the last day itself, the driver that fetched us to the Kota Bharu airport from the jetty bring us to this malay stall for nasi karabu and ayam percik which is kinda nice in its way. Again, on the way to the airport i saw Pasir Puteh, upon reaching the airport, everything looks so familiar. It looks exactly the same when i visited you at your NS camp 5 years back. Sometimes i wonder, do you still remember me in your heart?How is HuaiHuai?Do you keep him somewhere or still hug him like you always do?There’s so much i wanted to know but the answer will just never be there for me. Anyway I was feeling so lucky that i checked on Air Asia’s website early March as they were doing the Rm1 fare promotion and i managed to grab the tickets for all of us rather than choosing the take the bus home which would be such a disaster. XD
When we reach LCCT, we took the shuttle bus back to KL Sentral before we all take our own way back home. I took the KTM alone as i’m the only one from Subang. When i reach the platform waiting for the train to come, to my surprise i actually see people lining up (the last time i took a ktm was like 2-3 years ago, back then no one were lining up). Right so i was saying to myself “wow, malaysians can actually improve with people following the rules”. So i happily line up and boy oh boy i was so wrong, when the trains arrive the line just disappear and the usual you push i push mentality is back -.-”
Anyway pictures of my Perhentian trip can be seen in my facebook, lazy to upload it here =) That’s all for now, part 3 will be the last of this series, pretty much of my preparation for UK and my cousin’s visit =D
