Creative fingers and skipped heartbeat in Shah Alam
Orait, here's a new blog. Have at it!Meh, new blog, and first for Shah Alam. Let's hope thing's are well this time.
Sadly, not much of a creative fingers today, so I might lack in the poetics of me. (as if I'm poetic in the first place.) So I'll try my best to post.
Hmmm....Shah Alam. The shithole of Malaysia... Nope. Shah Alam, a fairly big play for a city boy like me. Oh yeah....
Shah Alam, a fairly big play for a city boy like me. If you don't watch it, you'll get lost. Like I did during registration day. Damn city is so huge, and the lack of signboards to show the out-of-townners the way to Main Campus. What, ya expect us to know the way there, since it's the main campus? Too big of a city, and too little signboard numbers.
Anyway, after registration there, we went to the actual place where I'm gonna study: Section 17, and the place I'm gonna stay: Section 18. Quite an okay place, considering it has a frickin' pasar malam every monday in front of my apartment and a plethora of food places just a walk away? I guess I won't be losing weight anytime in the next 4 years if things are going like this.
The place is okay la kot, McD, KFC and Ayamas on a single row, got Giant just a stone's throw away. Going to the campus pun easy-peasy; just ride the feeder bus in front of the college.
Oh yeah, my buddies are here as well. Except one boy and a few girls. Sad. But things are going well. I got a different apartment from the rest of the boys, 3rd floor. But the boys have to climb 5 floors to their 'penthouse', heh heh. Eating is a tough one, as we had to eat out because the college has no dining hall. My god the mamak houses are all around here, although I've heard it's pricey. Haven't tried any of them yet.
We're having a ceramah of sorts in the faculty. It's kinda like orientation day, but none of the hazing or tiring stuff. We just have to sit in a lecture hall and listen to the lecturer yapping about basic study skills. I mean c'mon, mind map? I've been doing it since I was 11 years old! And I don't appreciate it then, I'm not gonna appreciate it now. But the other modules are okay, it's just to familiarize with the hazards of degree program. That reminds me, haven't I done a degree program somewhere?
Uh, I guess I could do some high-quality blogging today, but something--no,no, someone finally showed up and it made my heart flutter like the days of old. (Ibanez, it's [BLEEP], fyi). I never thought she could affect me after all this time and after all this heartbreak. She didn't show up for the past few days while the rest of us are keeping each other company. I guess she didn't register yet for subjects, too. I knew she would show up sooner or later but I never knew my stupid heart could still be weak around that girl. God damn. We were just coming out of the feeder bus after a day of lecturing (it's not even class, it's just lecturing) and out she stepped out of her car, smiling. The group greeted her and all the usual hoopla (actually i like to use 'hoo-haa'; to make noise when in a group). She greeted the girls and hoo-haa'd with the boys, but it felt like she didn't look at me. Yeah, it's maybe me, I don't know. But what I know is that in the instant I saw her face, my heart just skipped a beat. Dammit. I'm not supposed to have any more feelings for her. It's all past-tense. kaput. No more. But if you just look at me at that time, chiss.
I don't want any more feelings for her after this. Let's hope...no. Let it be the last skipped heart I have for her. She is now my friend, wheter she acknowledges me or not. I'm in Shah Alam fer cryin' out loud! I have a new marketplace! It's time for me to market myself and let my voice be heard, let my face be known, let's open up a new chapter in your sorry life.
Let's open up a new chapter.
Let's.
