back to reality..

It's really hard to believe that time flies fast when you are having fun and it crawls slowly when you're not.. It has almost been a week that i'm back in Kuching.. Seriously, reality sucks, man... Back in Kuching, you've non-stop assignments, tutorials, reports and projects. Whereas life in KK is wonderful.. No worries (except worrying abt your debate)

I seriously learned a lot while i was in KK..

The first day (27/12)...

We arrived at around 4 something.

1st thing that I've learnt -

KK airport is smaller than Kuching's

2nd thing that I've learnt -

KK isn't as big as i thought.. Bah, so much to be called a big city..

3rd thing that I've learnt -

There's no such thing as roti cheese or roti susu in KK. The waiter looked blur when i ordered those.

4th thing that I've learnt -

Citizens of KK have never seen a Chinese with a group of Indians eating together.

We checked into a lodge which was quite good (2 person sharingone room, king sized bed, with air cond, hot shower, wireless internet connection, lobby with TV/astro, novels, pantry with tea and coffee and clean toilets)

See.... That's why life sucks when you return to unimas..

On the 2nd day (28/2)

Briefing on techniques and the art of debating. Kinda dozed off halfway through the briefing.. Then.. came the 1st round.. UNIMAS 2 debated against UMS 2 (and won) UNIMAS 1 won too.. HURRAY!!

Things that I've learnt on that day-

1. KK is just beside the beach (beautiful!!)

2. UMS doesn't turn out to be as beautiful as i thought it would be ~ just blocks of high school buildings ~ some people said it's the most beautiful uni in South East Asia.. Can't agree with that... UNIMAS is prettier, i think

3. We went to the Likas market after the competition for dinner. Tried the ABC there. Weird. They have macaroni in it!! And they smoke everything.. Smoked fish, smoked crab, smoked sotong, smoked prawn..

can u spot the macaroni?

Food in KK is seriously different from here.

4. There are really LOTS of filipinoes here... And they look scary..

The 3rd day (29/2)

Competed in another 3 rounds ~ it was tiring.. We were treated to a Grand Dinner which the results of which uni got into the quarter finals were announced.. And once again.. UNIMAS 1 ad UNIMAS 2 made it!! Whoot whoot!!

Things that I've learnt on that day-

1. UMS chancellor hall is pretty!! It's like a 5 star hotel ballroom!!

saw Xin ying too.. Was surprised.. Never thought that could meet someone that u know in such a big uni..

The 4th day (1/3)

Quarter finals, semi finals and finals all today...

Quarter finals UNIMAS 2 went against Sinaran and UNIMAS 1 went against UITM sabah 1. Both got through quarter finals and went into semi finals!! YAHOO!!

Finally, in semi finals, UNIMAS 2 went against Swineburne 2 - lost

UNIMAS 1 went against UITM sarawak 1 - lost (sob sob)

But was happy and proud to have made that far (not bad for a first time debater ~ haha)

Went to the market again after that. Tried coto makassar (Sabah food) ~ a bit like tauhu chap with beef intestine, liver instead. Don't like the taste, though..

Things that I've learnt on that day -

1. Coto makassar

2. Chicken rice or generally food in KK costs a lot!! 1 plate of chicken rice - RM 7.90, plain rice only - RM 2.

3. UNIMAS debate members know not only how to debate, but also how to have fun!!
