new deep

I miss eating chicken. I stopped eating it for a while now to mend my sinusitis. So for the time being and the future, no more KFC, Kenny Rogers, Nando's, Chicken Rice Shop, Nasi Ayam Gemas, etc. How sad. No, really, I get a bit upset when I pass one of the mentioned restaurants. Even more so here in Kuala Pilah, when the only fast food chain available is KFC.

I miss using regular handphones sometimes. Smart phones are proven to be very useful but they can also be quite the annoyance. Emails, twitter mentions, FB notifications, BBMs, but I kinda like it too. You're constantly connected with the virtual world. But everyone needs the occasional breather.

I miss home but not to the point of being sick. To be honest, I'm amazed at myself on how calm I've been this week. Only shed tears the minute my family left me here in Pilah and had about 30 minutes to do so when Yana and her family arrived. And from that moment on, I did not cry at all. (Yes, I'm only 2 hours away from SA but still...)

I miss UiTM's gym. Yep. Here in Negeri Sembilan campus, there isn't any; probably because it's still new. But the great thing is, next time when I do the have the chance to go to the one in SA, I won't be signing in as a student but as a staff member :)

Those are the things that I miss. Now for the things that I've discovered here,

You can hardly find restaurants that are opened here on Sundays. My theory is, people in Kuala Pilah prefer dining in and are very introverted. They're quite the homebodies.

Nasi Goreng Melang. Squid, prawn, chicken, veges all thrown together. Unfortunately, I can eat the one with only veges in it.

People here are friendly. The makcik at this one food stall we went to chatted with us all throughout our meal and gave tips on where to fix our sinusitis. UiTM staff, especially the BEL lecturers are so fun and helpful! They're like a family. The mak and pak guards in UiTM too! But maybe it's because I work there now and am not a student anymore. Friends, you won't believe your eyes when you see them actually SMILING with their teeth showing at you. I felt so special.

Kuala Pilah is small but I managed to get lost a few times around town this week.

Everyday, me and my friends/ housemates/ former coursemates/ colleagues would hunt for food and try out different restaurants/ stalls. It's fun. Now we know where are the cheap ones, the pricey ones and the good ones.

18 year-old Diploma students still act like they're in form 5 and I like it.

The day I receive my Staff card, that's when the students will stop thinking I'm one of them. For now, I just have to remain submissive.

I'll add more next weekend.
