ACMS

Well, since my last post, I flew to Penang via Air Asia, the cheapest cheapskate airline in Malaysia. Then, we (Brice and I) took a taxi to Putra Villas, Kepala Batas where we are all staying. We don't stay at a hostel at all as everyone expects but instead, as the name Putra Villas suggest, we all live our lives out at a housing estate, make it private housing estate (we have a guard house and even a clubhouse). Life here is pretty boring as there is no televison or radios (we have to buy them by ourselves) and even worse, we aren't allowed to cook due to risk of fire(??????), though once in a while we use the rice cooker to cook soup. Fast food restaurants are also a luxury here as we cant travel far on foot and we aren't allowed to bring our cars along (as if I can) and everything here is malay, malay and malay food. Well, here is a synopsis of my typical life here at Kepala Batas.



I wake up at about 7.15 am in the morning to catch the 7.45 bus (which is never on time, either late or too late) for a 15 minute ride at our college, if you wanna call it that (explanations in next post). Class begins at 8.30 am


Our house, which is located on the top floor. 5 people per house.

A row of houses here at Putra Villas.

Our bus, which is pretty comfortable, if it is not overcrowded.

The ACMS sign post. Below is the library.

To give you a clue on the size of the ACMS college, this is a picture of a primary school located opposite our college.

The roti canai stall near our college.

Math quiz time. For breakfast, I ordered 2 roti banjir, 2 telur goreng and 1 teh O ais. My friend, Xue Liang ordered 2 roti banjir and1 teh O ais. he paid RM2.20 and I paid RM3.20. If the teh O ais costs 10 cents more than a roti banjir, how much does a telur goreng, a roti banjir and 1 teh O ais cost? Use your algebra people!





This concludes the first part of my life in Kepala Batas. The next post, which I hope I can prepare by tomorrow will be entitled, RUSSIAN 101.

Adopt a Pup Sunday

Some of you already know that i have a few dogs guarding my house. But shat most of you DON'T know is that one of them gave birth to four cute little pups. Anyway, i have to leave for Penang at 3 o'clock this afternoon, there will be almost no one left to love them (except for my little brother and sister, who have a twisted way to love) and i would have to give them up for adoption. As i dont trust the SSPCA, I am putting them up for adoption, here on my blog itself. Since I respect their privacy, I only know that there are three males and a female in this batch, though which is which i have no clue of. Here are a few photoes that i took of them, once i was able to keep them still for just one second. I am sorry that i have no time to readjust the picture position but i think it makes them look better.









Ps, these puppies are mixed breeds. Whoever wants to adopt them may e-mail me at clempowen@hotmail.com or tell me through this blog itself. Offer available for Kuching citizens only.

A Beginner's First Move

I am sorry to disappoint you guys but I am new at this. Anyway, I created this blog since everyone in Kuching have been asking how life is like at (Kampung) Kepala Batas, Seberang Perai, Pulau Pinang. So, I dedicate this blog to all my friends in Kuching, for my dear friend Ho who unfortunately is unable to make it for the second semester of the Russian Pre-Med Education at ACMS, Kepala Batas (moment of silence please) . Now that the moment of silence is over, **** you (ADD IMPORTANT AUTHORITY) for not allowing my friend to study medicine at Russia with me!. Since this blog is mainly about life in Kepala Batas, and I am still at Kuching, bye bye for now. I will start blogging once I start taking photoes there on Monday, with my NEW HANDPHONE!


It is an LG KE770 and believe it or not, my father won it at a Write and Win Contest at the KLIA.
Oh yeah. to Daniel and Larry, JY for getting 11 A1s for Spm.
