The life of a student in USM begins....

Song listening to : Taylor Swift - Sparks Fly

Let's begin.... I am currently a student pursuing my undergraduate studies in Computer Science in Universiti Sains Malaysia(USM), Penang... Bahhhhhhhh... no need for long introduction.. heh..
Picture time!

The view of my hostel building (Cahaya Gemilang)
The place is really 'green' on the outside! heh~

One of my coursemates posing for the camera


One of USM's library(they have 3 of them)
You can play hide-and-seek here and not able to locate one another in such a short period of time... haha!


And this was the download speed I got at my room at a particular time only!!
I was veryyy lucky!!
Normal days it couldn't even reach 50kb/s!


The download speed at the cafe...
I was really shocked to be witnessing this!
Too good to be true man!! XD


and I had my Logic test not long ago...
and this is just an outside view of the exam hall


A quite high class leisure room that some of us discovered!
-lol-

And this was one of the days when he headed for the night market in Jelutong.....
This was a funny and awesome experience... Why?
Because, NONE of us knew how to get there and we didn't know which bus stop to hop down from the bus...... but, by God's Amazing grace, an Indian driver came to the bus stop we were waiting at...... and he was so kind and friendly that he offered to give us a lift to the night market (the exact spot summore!) with a very cheap fee!! And the best thing was that, we(27 of us) board the Workers Bus (or also known as Bas Pekerja) to the night market!!! LOL!!!

And that's NOT all....... He was so willing that he gave us his phone number, to contact him if we needed transport back to our university!!!! and guess what, we did!!! So, it was a to and fro trip with a minimal fee!!! Wow!! May God bless that kind and friendly bus driver!! =D

Some random shots I took with my phone

Shot 1

Shot 2

Shot 3

Shot 4

and shot 5, my coursemate and I

On another note, I attended three(3) types of church ever since I came to Penang! There were different types of people with various practices but all of them have the same beliefs! =)

One of them, Excel Point Community Church(EPCC)

The second, Trinity Methodist Church(TMC)

And the third, Sungai Ara Gospel Hall(SAGH)
and I think this is where I'm going to settle in considering that I came from a Brethren Church background... heh~

errrrrr..... this was just a pict my friend photoshopped! lol~~

And yeahhhhhhh! I'm currently in this club too!!
They are a group of people with various personalities :

1. Kind
2. Passionate
3. Caring
4. Cheer you up when you're down
   
5. Helpful
6. Gives good advice about Do(s) and Don't(s)

and many others la... you name it, they'll have it!!

PKA stands for Persaudaraan Kristian Agape as written in that small font there.. haha
This was given to us as a guidebook about the club and also the guideline to study the Book of Ephesians


and their CF a.k.a. Christian Fellowship (as we normally used in school) is called B.E.(s) which stands for Bible Expositions is held weekly...

The following are not from the same B.E.(s) but they're still B.E.(s)
hahahahah!!!

Setting up the place for BE


Yi Hong, the Usherer waiting at the door...


and here's a simple and easy guide to follow while doing your study on Ephesians.
Basically it was broken down into several parts by a Lecturer who came to visit

Back home, Pak Putra's still 10X tastier!
(Sorry for those Kapitan lovers) =P


The receipt....
It says "Call again"
Should it be "Come again" ??? Lol!


and after lunch, we head back to USM...


It was truly a great day! We had such an enjoyable time!! Lots of lovable memories to cherish!!
and most of all, we really want to thank our Lord Almighty from the bottom of our hearts for providing us with such FINE weather!!! Indeed, God is aWeSoMe....
and I say it again, God is AwEsOmE!!!!!!!!!!! =)

and on the 25 October 2011, PKA organised a Refugee School trip in Prai...
Honestly, before this... I didn't even know what the word 'refugee' meant.... Well, I definitely learnt something from this trip then... The kids were hyper active and very loud!! They deserved to be treated as an equal too.... Pity them lar... May the Lord continues to watch over them!! Amen! =)

They started off with an EMPTY and BLANK wall!

Halfway during the colouring process...
