hello , assalamualaikum....
i'm back...
huhuhu.....
for this new post, i will not tell u a sad story again...huhuhu, cukup la seminggu berendam air mate...
hik3....=)
eyh, ade la sket2 cite sedeyh...tapi sekejap je kot..heheh...
okies, we'll begin with orientation...i'll just cerita sket je la, cz nothing much happen(actly, mggu ni la paling byk bende jadi)...takpe la...my focus is more to first week of class..heheh...
okeyh,now, orientation, the week of buziness....huk3...byk la bende jadi...ngeh3.....cmne nak start ye??actly kan, ade byk actvts yg saye tak dtg...lagipun, orientation week die just a week for us to settle everything before the class started..so, i bet all of u will get bored read about orientation week......tak yah cite la...hahahaha.....
okies, da first week of class...my very first class was chem 177L(L stand for lab),which, start at 9...LAB die bwh tanah ooo...byk gak la, klas2 kat ISU ni g kat bwh tanah...aku pon tatau nape....eyh, tatau la nak tulis ape....hurm, nak cakap ape pon tatau...
ni senarai course yg aku amik...
  1. math142
  2. engl 101c
  3. engr 101
  4. chem 177
  5. chem 177L
  6. math 165
overall, aku rase boring tul la sem ni...hahahaha, wanna know why, bcoz, every single subject that i took above is a repetition of what i've already learn in high school and uniten...adoi, ni kali ketiga tau...erk, lagi2 boring klas math 142...yg sebenarnye adalah kelas pre-calc....adoi, apsal la aku tak jawab soklan placement betul..tu lah, end up kene amek pre-calc...on the first day of pre- calc i tak dtg, scnd day, tak dtg, da third n last day of the week, baru saye masuk...ya ALLAH, u can imagine how boring was the class until aku tertido(hahahahaha)..for those who don't know me, i never slept in class(thats for sure)....hahahahaha......erm, class die ade dua type tau..satu lecture, and after lecture kitorang ade recitation, which that's the place to ask anything we don't understand in the lecture(dalam lecture hall consists of more than 100 studs)..recitation ni, ade small group around 24 people in it...mase recitation, kite kene wat quiz, anta hw, wat sket discussion...mybe it's gonna be fun, cz, in most of my recitation class, it's hard to find any msian, in fact, takde pon, asian pon takde...hahahaha...
adoi...kene speaking je selalu, penat mulut nak ckp bahasa asing ni..
huhuuhu...so, the conclusion now, this sem, or my freshmen year of undergrad stud of chemical engineering, mybe gonna be boring..and, mybe i can strive for 4 flat..we'll see, klau tak pon, mgkn atas 3.5...insyaALLAH...hope kite berdoa, all of us, will get the best of the best..=)
can't wait what will happen in my sophomore, junior and senior year here...cepat lah mase berlalu....4 tahun, cepat la kau habis...

p/s:for previous post...i da call ayah i...and da dapat cakap ngan abah...seronok sgt....and that thing make me so happy...huhuhu...mase call ari tuh, abah yg angkat tepon, pastuh ckp ngan mak, abah duk tepi mak skali....tak penah rasenye abah wat cmtu..abah ckp die tak demam,cume penat je????erm, takpe la, lelaki selalu sembunyikan perasaan sebenar....tapi dengar cite, abah penah ngigaukan uya????betul ke???abah, jgn la cmtu...uya akan buat abah bangge..=)

My first experience....

assalamualaikum sume....
huhuhu....
it's been a long time that i didn't update my blog...
and i'm very2 sorry for that....
huhuhu...guess where i a rite now????
i'm in the States!!!!
Oh my God...i've been here for almost two weeks,
and i miss malaysia so much....
bak kate org, hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri...
i've enroll to Iowa State University, Iowa as a freshmen of chemical engineering major(which i didn't think of pursuing it in my whole life!!)...
hahaha.....
let me tell you all, what were the feeling and circumstances that i went through when i first arrived here in the States,Iowa particularly....
it was such an experience to go through...i feel like crying when i arrive to Des Moines (capital of Iowa) Airport...there was nobody to fetch me and i am totally alone....
then, i saw a machine that provide phone card...immediately, i went to the machine and purchased a phone card worth $20...i thought, with that phone card, i can call anywhere with more than 100 minutes talk..but, unfortunately, to call local area, it's only for 1 hour, and international call only 30 min...
i couldn't believe it, that phone card was so(3000x) expensive...urgh...sakit tol hati....
hahahahaha.....erm, before that, i just forget my luggage...it's lost..but, with the efficiency of the airport service, they can track it and i got back my luggage after 2 hours...huhuhu...
okay, back to the phone card story...i called Iowa State admissions and asked for transportation which i have already made a reservation on it, and they said it will come in a few minutes...hahaha...i few minutes????it takes a few hours!!!!!hahaha...
after calling Iowa State, i called home, where i left two days earlier...and i can reach them, but, the person that i want to talk to wasn't there..i feel miserable that time...i cried actually, but try to cover it from my sister,kak maah, who picked up the call...
waaaa!!!!abah, uya nak cakap ngan abah.....isk3........and then, abg amin gave me abg lan's phone number, which abah was with him that night (13 of august malaysia time, but 13 august morning in Iowa) visiting my niece ika(broke her arm).....i try to reach them ( my phone card only 15 min left) but it was such a waste of my phone card....my call just turned into voice mail..and my phone card lost value just like that....(i made two or three call,no body answered)....
okay, enough for that.....hurm now, after the van has fetched me up...we went to the temporary housing that university rent for the international student who arrive earlyt....erm, it's still okay...
but, for almost three days stayed there, i couldn't find any malaysian...argh...i couldn't find any halal food...and for that three days, i didn't eat at all....huhuhu...and the result, i caught fever..huhu...for three days, i just stay in the room ( walaupun sesak nafas dgn Chinese yg kongsi bilik sama merokok), online...chat with friends, kak intan, iwan,ayie, abg taufiq(my cousin),emailed kak ayu and abg zahurin,also kak sya....they all sympathized me for what happen..huhuhu...hurm..
only after two days, i could contact my seniors from malaysia with the help from vincent, ammar's blog, and email from sky...huhuhu.....
hurm...what a nightmare i've been through all my life...hahaha, i've never been in such situation before...hahahaahaha...
but still, sampai sekarang, i tak penah bercakap dengan abah saye lagi since two weeks i arrive here(dengan mak da penah,so, okay la)...abah!!!!!i miss you so much....and, melalui information i get from my family, from my abangs and kakaks, abah demam sebab risau kan uya....uya pon same abah....abah jangan risau..uya kat sini okay...senior kat sini sume baik2...huhuhu.....
abah!!!!!kalau lah, abah dapat baca blog ni...uya rindu sangat kat abah, mak, kakak, abang, kawan, family, malaysia......
and thats all for now,tanak ckp lebey2...nnti banjir pulak bilik kat umah kak yati ni...
huuhuhuhuhu.....

wassalam....

p/s: to those who will pursue their study abroad, if you don't want to get the same experience as me,pliz get a friend and contact all seniors before your departure.so that, you don't have to have the same thing that i've been through...hahahaha....remember, don't travel alone if you don't have the courage to go through all things...=)
