Cultural Impacts

The school has been reopened and i have had my first 2 days classes in UB.
I am the earliest one woken up in the morning among all of my housemates, and that is going to be another 3 months~sigh, M,W,F-8a.m. class and T&R-9.20a.m class.
These few days i tried to go to the campus 30 minutes before my class get started but at last i was only manage to get my ass inside the classroom a minute before the professors started to give lectures.

I always lost in the campus to search for the hall. When you see the people who stand there and keep looking at the campus map, you could easily know that he is the newman to the UB. And i was one of them in these 2 days.

There are definitely some of the cultural impacts to me. I actually expect that i will lost in the jungle of the professor's lectures all the way. But fortunately,i think it's on the the right path for me.
Besides, if you think that American parents will not care about their children and let them to settle down everything in the college life,then you are wrong.
In the orientation week, i saw the parents everywhere in the campus and most of them were carrying their kids stuff like the fan,tv system,pail and etc.

Not only that, the American are really friendly and polite. Just thru the daily routine and some of the activities then you may know it. This is another out of expecting thing for me.
And everything goes online here, textbook,tuition fee,weather,furniture,dryer...etc.

Another thing is,most of the people here will hold a coffee cup in the morning. This is the culture here and you will never know how great it is to drink a hot coffee in such a cold day. I am not a Starbuck person in Malaysia but I think i am going to be in the coming future. These few days i am really enjoy in my coffee. Oh no...no caffeine addicted please...XD

Feeding buffalos in BUFFALO

I am using housemate's laptop now, wondering when my ordered laptop is going to come to my doorstep. Compare with the troublesome window's chinese typing system, I would rather go for english in this post.

To those who are concerned, I am very fine and feeling great here. My bro flied to Buffalo and brought me up site down these few days. We bought many stuffs, went to Niagara Falls area and searched for the Chinese foods all the time.

I have very cool housemates, Kahxiong, Chihyong and Naomi. They are all very interesting and funny. It's incredible to see a huge suitcase which totally filled up with the Chinese medicinal herbs, honestly, i estimate there's around 5 or 6 kg with 10+ different kinds of herbs. That's why i and Kahxiong promised to pay CY bowl/$0.5 for our future herbal soups, but of course we were just simply kidding there.
I think soon we will be able to open a herbal soup restaurant here and I plenty sure that we will beat any chinese restaurant in the campus area, *laughter*.

Yesterday we guys just help Yokeping them to move their REALLY BIG mountain stuffs to their new apartment. And went to eat the Buffalo wing with the UB family at night.
Everything is going cool, :)

飞飞飞


我和金顺还有miss.see 可爱腼碘的mr.koong.

我考完了cal3和DE final,做完withdrawal和房间check out。
和6年级的孩子拍了照,也冲洗了并给了他们,然后他们让我享受明星般的待遇,不停地在照片背后签名和写些鼓励语。
我刚才穿的小隆重,临走前最后一次去补习班和淑贤一起上课。最后我在照片签名时,旁边的淑贤笑着...把他们交给淑贤和4,5年级的李大勋。还算放心。
希望他们好好加油。

小家伙们 婉奕 李大勋

我把mengli以前给我的书橱给大卢,陪了两年的printer让给eshin,一堆notes和一堆课本还有files甚至那双穿了年多的拖鞋给了李大勋。马的,他那双左右都断了的鞋到底是怎么穿的,我还真不知道。
送了本子给mr.koong,和乾妈miss.see,mr.koong拍了照,和林老师,胡老师拍照。和很多朋友都拍了照...林老师把我的补习工钱结了给我,我后来把其中的50块拿去在法会帮家人祈福。纯粹是觉得和这里有些缘分,是啊,都一年8个月了。

刚好也在的美眉shulei 坐完月子刚回来的miss.see

丢了很多垃圾,去了mid-valley买了相机和adapter。
收到了很多礼物,收到了很多祝福,很多的'一路顺风'。还有就是这几天,也不知道为什么,收到了很多张名片。
有叔叔keong的,有mr.koong用笔用感情在背后写上e-mail的,有不知为何从nilai聊到国家大事,聊到很起劲,下车时拍拍我肩:"boy,jika hari nanti mau taxi,remember call me。" 差一点忘了收钱的taxi uncle。

是的是的,我还有3天半就要飞了,明天一早还要扛着行李做些事。
和Billy,金顺还有乾妈去吃早餐,然后去rhb拿钱,最后回家。
其实我没有百感交集,就是有丝丝的不舍。
唉,回家真要好好看看我妈了...

感动(II)



人家说小学的朋友最天真,中学的友最诚,大学的朋友最杂,社会的朋友最假。
我想,的确如此。大学还好,因为我碰到的决大多数都是好人。我也不是那种很喜欢说客套话应酬别人的人,
总觉得这样真的很累很假。
只是,以后踏入了社会,我想这压根儿免不了。所以我大概和鸟人一样,以后比较难在功利势利的社会生存 -->'鸟人的PC-fair Dulan实录'。希望很久以后的自己可以一直记得。



我这一年多来在Nilai,
最快乐最充实最开心的就是每个星期下午去教小瓜们补习。
原来是4和5年
级,到后来才接手6年级。
前天是我在4年级他们班上的最后一课,他们特别搞到很神秘,叫我出到房间外,在里头开'学生会议'。我看到他们个个来到都捧着个
报到美美的礼物,就知道是什么回事了。
后来进去后,桌子
上摆满礼物,俊杰还从家里带了几个零食桶,那种装年饼的,大家一起吃了起来。边吃他们边嚷着叫我拆礼物。很明显他们应该是之前就策划好的,人人都包的美美才带来。



俊杰买了个很美的玻璃摆设品,他很可爱地自己讲妈妈帮忙包了很久一下。
苑琴,美雪和佩菱合买了两款可爱的杯子,pattern和color不同。

泳琪买了个水壶,她还特地用报纸包成handbag的形状,然后叫我记得天天带水壶去上学。
静霈自己做了两块石头,看来用彩色笔涂了好久。
我会尽我所能把
他们带去美国。

唉,我是从来没有想过他们会送我什么的,送给他们的小本子和在他们的纪念册上写的文字,纯粹是鼓励和一直想向他们说的话。他们也只有四年级,我想这些花了他们不少的钱和心思了...分明是想把我弄哭。这还能不叫人感动吗?
只是也不懂是近来的泪水缺乏还是什么的,我是深深的感动的,但就是没有泪水。
上一次哭应该是
看一公升眼泪的时候,忘了。
也许我已经升华到另一个层面了,无泪胜有泪。
alex 讲
我有恋童症,不得不承认,可以选的话,我宁愿天天面对着小孩子多过于大人。


p/s: special thx to eshin and chenhui,eshin i know you see this.

伤风

我.....差不多要淹死在鼻涕里了。
KNS...到底那些粘糊糊的液体从哪里来的?要被折磨至死了。
我从昨天一大早到现在,估计用了8,9包tissues、跑了3,40趟厕所拧鼻涕、喝了两罐王老吉,一杯何人可、昨天睡觉因鼻塞醒了两次。
然后今天放了钰萍steph他们飞机。

回想一下,主要原因应该是礼拜天吃了6瓣durian和吹了一整天的冷气。
究竟怎样可以stop一下那些流花花的液体?
