At the beginning of this year there was only one thing I was excited about, my first internship. It was located at Cyberjaya , and seeing that commuting back and forth to my parents home will be a big hassle there's only one thing I have to do. Rent out a place of my own. I know that within the western culture having to live in your own place after college is a big deal. Well, not so much for most Malaysians. In my opinion, having your own place would either mean you got a huge sack of cash hidden somewhere, or you have a stable job that provide you more sack of cash. In other words, people with a lot of cash. On my first day of my internship, my colleague offered me a room in their terrace. Apparently no one was using the room anyway so it only make sense for me to rent it. Plus I don't even have to worry about driving since we can carpool together. The room didn't come with a bed but one of them lent me an extra mattress she got from her old neighbour-friend that move...

This is one of those experience that made me missed my country so much and made me realize how much I really love BEEF! For the most part, basically Korean food culture are "almost" similar to us. Koreans also love Rice and Noodles, and you can find these items conveniently at any convenient store.... forgive my unintentional pun :p Anywho~ Koreans also love vegetables, and I mean they Love their Kimchi. I say this because you can find this in every restaurant, except in the Fast Food restaurant... and coffee shops. You'll notice that the Koreans love it so much because even if you didn't ask for it they will still give it to you as one of the side dishes, for Free! At first bite Malaysians might hate it, because it got that slight vinegar taste, and it's not...

The following link is a 5-page-document which consist of guides that all the Candidates of 2013 Semyung University Exchange Students need to prepare before arriving in Semyung University. It has a checklist of what you need to do and have with you before coming to South Korea. It also have a sort-of official guide to what you will expect to do the moment you arrive in South Korea. This document was provided by Mrs. Shim Yujin of SMU's International Affair Office on the Wall of her  Facebook page . So I decided to put it in a document file so that you guys can print them out nicely. I've also edited some of the things she mentioned for your convenient.  I hope this document can provide help in any way possible for your preparation. If you guys have any inquiries or anything that you are not clear from the document provided please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as I read them. Thank you (^_^) DOWNLOAD HERE ...

Or in other words, more item in the luggage that men don't care about. No offence, being a female myself I do approve of this fact.(^^) So, here we go: LADIES MUST HAVE/DO:

Been jamming my brains with facts and theory since the last couple of weeks. Yesterday was the last day of brain-battle (final exam). So now I can finally rest my head and get back to updating this blog for my lovely readers (^^) I have to say that this winter is driving me crazy. I was at absolute awe every time I walked out of the dormitory, and I can't help but feel thankful to Allah s.w.t. for being alive to witness this beautiful atmosphere. BUT the temperature was sooooo insane I actually thought I was losing some parts of my limbs from the frost-bite. Last night I thought I was going to lose my fingers!! Whenever I couldn't handle the cold weather I would jump in to convenient store just to warm up my body and then went out again.  Winter is adorable and insane at the same time. So, if you guys were waiting for the continuation of  my previous " EXCHANGE STUDENT TRAVEL TIPS ", please look forward to it by the end of this week ♥ ...

*for  TIPS Part 2 << click here TIPS Part 3 << click here Hello to my future 동생! (Juniors^^) Congratulations to the students who made it as SMU-UniKL Exchange Students for this coming semester! Ok, so that is just the tip of the iceberg. Now I bet some of you kids are freaking out about what to bring. Sebab kalau cite pasal duduk kat hostel UniKL, mesti ada banyak yg bawak atau tinggal berkotak2 barang untuk diguna balik for the next semester. Dgn baldi, papan seterika, hanger baju la bagai~ blablabla, hahaha, za pun macam tu jugak :p One of the obvious issue here is that you're not gonna come here to Korea with your family's car. You're going to take a plane, which has a luggage weight limit. So, confirm korg kena tinggal baldi yg korg dh pakai for 6 Semester kt Malaysia. Not to worry! I'll try to narrow down the list for you lovely kids as much as I can. First thing first; MUST HAVE/DO CLOTHING :

This is what my dormitory looks like. It's almost like a real apartment. Quite small, but for a college student it's very comfortable, with a private bathroom. What I like about it is that it got all the basics that I need. They got self service washing machines, but for the dryer we have to pay 1 usd for each use. They also have a huge gym room, and a computer room you can use at any time. The microwave and the water dispenser is a plus.
