Chapter 39 : First day in Perak .

So as promised , here's a post of my first day : 

Before I start , this post will not have photos due to the place being THAT bad . Currently still not over it even though its already been like 8 hours . 

Anyway , today started out as pretty okay . Mum woke me up at around 6am asking me a gazillion questions about what I've already packed but the only thing I could think of is wanting to go back to bed . So when she finally allowed me to go back to sleep , I had trouble sleeping . THATS WHY I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE WAKE ME UP BEFORE MY DESIRED TIME OF AWAKENING . But she's my mother so I'm not pissed at all . My tummy started feeling all squirmy and I had a whole field of butterflies in my tummy . I felt like a nervous wreck . After awhile I managed to fall asleep for a decent 2 hours till I had to get up and continue packing up .

I managed to get my lazy ass up off my bed & walked downstairs to watch some television . Dug up a good ol' energy bar which was Cranberry flavored from my college food stash . My favorite ! So I stalled till around 11.30am till I had to force myself into the shower . My dad called me while I was in the shower so I called him back & he said that he was already like 30 minutes away . 

Switched to PANIC mode , I scurried around getting clothed & took everything else that I needed to bring with me ESPECIALLY my blanket that my mum made me . The most important thing to me . Later I carried my huge ass suitcase that was super heavy and another 3-4 bags down & out to the car porch . 

Dad stared at me as if taunting me on how ridiculous I was being cause I was bringing so many things . He told me a few days ago to only pack for a week . How can I ? I'm a girl . 

We set off on our journey & still , my tummy was filled with butterflies . Nervous about my new beginning . Our journey was perfected by some burgers , fries & Coke ! My nerves were much more calmer after . We finally reach the Perak area & I must say , I was rather excited . Reached Kampar by around 3pm . 

Dad dropped me off at the Danish House office to get checked-in & the place was filled with freshmen at TARC just like yours truly . The process included me signing the agreement contract , paying the fees & picking up my card , keys , laundry bag & mattress cover . 

Jap , I really need to say something here . You know what happened when I was lining up for my card , keys & etc ? THESE 'KIDS' WERE CUTTING IN LINE & IN FRONT OF ME . Like , HONEY , REALLY ? & you know what makes it worse ? Their parents are the ones that ASKED them to do so . C'mon parents , have some manners . Is that how you raise your kids ? Honestly , what ever happened to manners . Be patient & wait for your turn . Also , RESPECT OTHERS . Lets bear in mind that manners DO matter . 

Moving on , got my stuff & proceeded to my hostel .

Okay , here is where is all starts to go bloody downhill . When I unlocked the door to my flat , it was pitch black & I could see nothing . My dad found the switch for the so-called living room light switch & turned it on . The so-called living room had only two things . TWO PLASTIC CHAIRS . Y'know the ones we had back in school ? Yeah those plastic chairs . Ok la , can accept cause I'd prolly spend most of my time in my room . Proceeded to my door & attempted to unlock it .

Unlocked it & turned the knob to open the door . Even more disappointment . My room was bloody small .When I say small , its really small . Its the shape & width of a kek lapis . LITERALLY . I'm not even exaggerating right now . I'm serious . I just couldn't deal . But I guess after awhile I got used to the idea & was over it . Walked out to take a look at the rest of the flat & the toilets are really clean . Same goes to the fridge . 

I realized that the room that I assume is the Twin Sharing Room next to the toilets were occupied cause there were shoes outside of the door . But I didn't hear any noises so the people or person who stays in there must be out . All the other rooms were empty . I thought to myself , well maybe everyone is still settling stuff . 

I followed dad to the hotel that was right opposite my place to get him checked-in . Grand Kampar Hotel . It has such a pretty atmosphere & the building is just , GRAND . But never judge a book by its cover . The room that my dad booked was super huge but only costed him about RM119 . Amazing right ? So I hung out in the hotel room watching The Hunger Games while my dad happily snored taking a nap . He woke up around 7.30pm nagging me to take a shower . Headed downstairs to get some dinner , so we decided on the hotel's Chinese restaurant . The food was good . Cheap too ! 

After dinner , we headed to my place to grab some pyjamas cause I decided to stay with my dad for the night . I was praying super hard , hoping that there would've been people already fully moved into the place . But no , once again , opened the front door to a pitch black flat . This was when I started to get worried . I hate living alone . It scares me .

I could see that my dad was getting worried too . So we headed back to the hotel room & I got calls from my sister , mum & boyfriend . 

& here I am blogging . 

Its been a really long day & I'm still praying super hard that there will be people tomorrow . Haih I'm worried . 



Till then ,
