Yeap, i've moved into my new room. It was such a exhausting trip tho. =/ Luckily i had my friend helping me out, if not....die!!!! But even if there's two of us doing it, we were pretty beat by the end of it....
You see, i brought a huge luggage along with me....that alone already weighs 23kg(can u believe that!), which i found out at the airport when i was checking in. Heavy ehhh!!! I can smuggle a child in it... =X
Other than that huge luggage we had to carry my mattress over. Yeap, i couldn't find a new mattress(mom has a big part in deciding whether those i saw is too expensive or not) in time for the move-in so i took my friend's mattress instead(which he bought over frm his landlord, and he apparently "forgot" the price when i asked him how much to pay him for the mattress ==).
We split my huge luggage into two, borrowing one of his luggage bags, and dragged and lifted them over. My condo was just opposite his, but it's still quite a distance, normal walking time would be about 10mins between each condo. Imagine doing that in a freakishly hot late afternoon. Really. That's how bad it was. =3=
So that was the first trip, then we went back to the shops search for nylon line to tie up the mattress for easier carrying. Since it was a Sunday alot of the shops were actually closed, but luckily after sometime we managed to find one and bought a roll, then went back to my friends condo for the mattress.
I think we spent a good 1/2hr tying up the mattress >< none of us know how to do it, so i tried to do it by visualizing how a tied mattress looks like and tried to tie like that @@ very idiotic way rite! Haha! >< It was so much work though, mattress is quite heavy and it just won't bend == after that we brought it dwnstairs and to my condo.
Alas, halfway thru, it was beginning to be a very hard task. The mattress is very slippery, and really heavier as it go on. Plus i didn't really tie it up properly cos we ran out of ropes in the end @@ so we were carrying it in a very risky(injury!) and dangerous way. We did see a taxi going pass and was flagging it down, but the driver doesn't want to bring us after seeing we're carrying a mattress. NOoooooooooooooo!!!
By the time i threw the mattress in my room it was alr 8.30pm and i hadn't had a proper meal in the whole day. I was famished, so we went to dinner(more like me alone since my friend ate earlier) We went to this clutter of stalls, and there was this uncle auctioning off crystals. LOL. First time i see something like this, but apparently its quite common among the people there.
And i didn't believe a single thing he said, depsite the really cheap prices and beautiful-lookiing crystals. Haha. It'll take alot for me to believe in the powers of some dug out earthstones. >< After that i part ways with my friend, because i hafta go and buy my fan. Despite being so tired i dun wanna spend the night fan-less.
I got back arnd 10.30pm and spent an hr assembling the damn fan. In the night heat. Already sweating like shit. Ughh i'm so noob at assembling it haha. But i feel glad cos now i did something i never did before!!! :) even tho its simple reassembling...xD
That's how my Sunday went. Now i've grown some "guns" and i cant help but smile when i look at them. LOL. I'm soo freaking vain rite!!! HAHAHAHAHHAA!!!! I like my muscles ok!! xP
Just now managed to clean my room more and got some mre groceries, and starting nxt mth, gottta watch how i spend. Alot of things here are so evil.....they tempt u to part ways with ur hard-earned money! ><

Settling in....
Hey everyone! How's everything going?
I'm now in the capital city of Malaysia already, a huge, bustling and busy city filled with life and the complexities that comes with it. >< I've been here since Wed and only yesterday i managed to find a suitable room to rent for the few upcoming months.
It wasn't easy though, alot of the rooms advertised (i found mine online) are already taken, or too expensive for my budget, too far from the LRT stations, empty rooms with no furniture, or only available in the next mth(July). I was beginning to worry alot that i can't find a suitable room before my work starts, until i saw this current one.
It is quite ok, just that i still need to buy my own fan and mattress. Ok for now i think....since i don't have much choice *shrugs* but yeap, i'll move in tmr, then i can consider myself fully settled. xD
In between checking out rooms and some of the areas i went to alot of places these last few days, basically discovering and seeing for myself how the places looks like in (nearly) each of the LRT stations....of course, that included alot of walking ;) It was good exercise anyway, though tiring! xD
Weather here so far ok, but it can be really hot at times. Of course, the air here is worse >< everyday i can see haze around. Unavoidable, since there's so much traffic here. ><
So i guess that's it. For the current update. Haha. Hope u guys are doing fine :) do take care, i love you all!!! ^^

Wanted....
....for a job, that is! Yeap, that's right, i secured myself a job already! ><
It's been awhile since my last post isn't it. And my, what an angry post that was. Yeap i was depressed and it was a really bad week, nothing went well so yeah, i finally exploded.
But guess what, the week after everything turned out for the better, thankfully. Brother started talking to me, acknowledging my existence == but yeah, its always good when he lets me talk to him, even tho its not really talking mre like annoying each other in a playful way. xD and then things started to look up with my job search, and i started to really accept things which had happened and set myself to move on and dont think so much. ><
The week after that i got a call frm KL, from a post i applied online just for the heck of it...cos i'm kinda restless at home already and desperate to start earning money >< suffice to say after some consideration they asked me to attend an interview, which i did a week later and voila! I got the job!
Of course it wasnt easy...i was worried abt mum, the pay and alot of things...bt in the end we worked it out and yeah, i'm going to KL end of this mth, find accommodation, move in and start another chapter in my working life. I do hope everything will go smoothly!
---
KL, an even bigger city than the places i been too. Of course, with a bigger city comes bigger crimes and dangers. And i hafta really be alert when i'm there. As of right now there is a serial acid-splasher around, omg so dangerous == bt even so, KL is full of opportunities and chances, and i might have a better chance of finding what i want over there.
Also i can meet up with my KL friends. It's pretty exciting and i'm looking forward to it. Esp knowing some of my coursemates gonna move over in the future for their careers. Looks like our paths are gonna be crossed again!
Look forward to the next day with positivity! U won't be down in the doldrums forever. Next thing u know, u're lifted up again, by whatever mysterious ways the universe works. So even tho everything might seem so depressing, in the end the light will always shine through the dark clouds.
=)
