Money, money and money

I spend about thousand plus USD in just two weeks. Everything was like so expensive. Even the stuff in factory outlet stores cost a lot. A shopping spree in Birch Run for 8 hours cost me more than 600 dollars( I restrain myself from buying a lot of stuff).Very sad becuase not able to everything I desire. Even groceries cause a few hundred bugs a month. Sumore no transportation. Need to carry heavy groceries(10kg plus) back every friday for minimum 1 kilometre. Haiz... Somemore need to pay electric and phone bill. Very, very expensive. Hopefully I will be able to cut down my expenditure soon enough.

A Tour to my apartment

Currently staying at a apartment in University Towers at Umich. It is a small apartment with 3 people in including me. There are two bedrooms, one kitchen, one "restroom"(American term for toilet), and one living room in my apartment. Hopefully I will survive in the apartment until I graduate.

This is my bed, the most important part of my life. (A place where life created for most ppl.....)These are cupboards with mirrors shared by me and my roomate. I sealed the mirrors with present paper due to some feng shui rules.This is my roommate side of the room. His bed is frequently messy . Mt ex-roomate back in Inti is much more tidy. It takes a lot of luck to see him dump his stuff on the bed and go out.This is the kitchen. The sink is small but the utensils are large. Well, this kitchen makes the apartment a not so nice place to live. The fire and water element is linear to each other which means destructions to the occupants. Haiz.......

Finally, this is the restroom of my apaertments. Full of mirrors. I wonder why there are so manhy mirrors around. Must becareful not to break any mirrors to avoid 7 years of bad luck(just being superstitious)

A Fresh New Start in Michigan

i reached Michigan few days ago. Was very busy settling stuff so did no update my blog. Now a bit free already. Havent get photos from my friends yet so for the meantime no photos.

Well, Ann Arbor is a cold place. The sun shine on you but you dont feel hot. Even the summer is like Genting in Malaysia. I wonder how will I survive winter.Think about that later. The building here are very different Malaysia. It is difficult to differentiate between a house, a shop, and a campus. Everything looks almost the same. Anyhow, crossing roads here is much more safer. The vechicles need to stop for the pedestrian.

I have a few advises for my friends in Malaysia who is coming USA
1) Maximize the weight of your bag
2) Bring your whole house come because things here is expensive
3) Purchase electronics stuff in Malaysia except for laptops
4) Prepare lots of cash
5) Learn how to cook
6) Get your haircut
7) Buy winter wear during megasale
8) Dont forget your passport

A glimpse of the place I grow up

I went back to the place I spend partially of my time growing up(about 71 % of my little boy time). It is a village somewhere but out of nowhere Bagan Hailam lo. The houses are made by wood and some cement (sort of like a chimera). So dont expect the house there to look nice thought the interior maybe fabulous. Can see the sea everyday in the village. If u fall from the houses, you may end up in the water or mud; depends on your luck. Just a simple scenery of the village.





The ship is white and pink(my favourite color)


The road ahead is dangerous. The hole very big. Some people of who scare of height, avoid looking down because it looks scary at the bottom.You will need to bath at least seven times to clean yourself.
This are mangroove trees( the hutan paya bakau Malaysian go through form primary school to secondary tree) For those who never seen it, take a closer look and appreciate the tree you studied. Apparently, in the geography book, this tree is very useful because it can use to make medicine, natural habitat, catch fish and etc.
I will miss this place. Wont be seeing this place for 2 years++

Getting new stuff !!!

Yesterday, i was notified that I can bring 2 bags to the airport 20 kg each. Damn happy. So I went shopping with family. Went to MPH bookstore in Subang Parade to buy textbooks but ended buying three new non-textbook related books. These are the books I purchased.

One classic and two business related books. Wish I am able to finish books before classes start. Then i went Bukit Raja Jusco for second round shopping spree. Didn't really buy anything except for a Rm100 - 0.10 wireless mouse. Out of my expectation. I just told my mum my pink color mouse spoil edi(sad) and i showed her this mouse. She say OK so I buy lo. Suddenly my mum so generouse. Last time one mous RM30 also she say find cheaper alteratives but now change a lot already

It is wireless(need battery) and have nano protection to kill germs. Hopefully it wont kill sperm.At night, my ex-tuition teacher dedicated me a new handphone.A nokia N81. Well, i didn't have the intention to get a new handphone. My N73 still functioning but since it is free so I take onli lo. Thank you very much Mr. Low !!!
