Wake up early in the morning, pack the remain thing. It was 730am, still early for my bus to KL. I went to KFC to have my breakfast. The reason I choose there were there got free WiFi access. After finish watch newspaper and eat breakfast, I look at the watch and it almost the time. Inside the bus, hardly can sleep. When almost falling in sleep, there will be a call or sms coming. I not excited when I had arrive at KL. The place look strange to me, the Jalan Duta is not the Jalan Duta in my memories. Maybe KL already had great changes in past 2 years. I saw block of apartment rising from the ground. "yeah, where are the twin tower and KL tower?", suddenly it pop in my head. I facing the window searching for it, I could find it. I asked myself, is it I already inside KL, if yes then why i still can not see the landmark.
The bus took off once again from Hentian Duta after letting people off the road before heading toward city center. Then I saw it the KL tower. I still have not go up there before. It was 2pm and I reaching the Pudu Sentral, a newly renovate bus station. I stepped out from the bus, went up to the platform. It was just a normal bus station for me after hearing rumours about this bus station. There was a moment of lost but when I saw the sign for direction to the Plaza Rakyat LRT station then I decide to have change the line instead of walking to station Pasar Seni.
Inside the station, I realise how I gonna buy my ticket. It was a long queue in the counter and 2 unfamiliar ticketing machines. Nothing seem to happen when i touch my Mykad on the machine. Not sure if the touch n go function inside is working. The journey to station Majlis Jamek just required RM1.20. Hence I insert a RM1 note and a 50 cent coin. A plastic coin and 30 cent charge drop out. I look at the plastic coin mysteriously. "You just touch at there then when you finally out from the station, just throw the coin inside", the guys told me after i asked him.
Looking at the ticketing machine again but different station. I can not use the machine because it is just for travel less than RM2. I stepped back and accidentally hitting a lady. She stop and stare at me, I quickly apologise to her. She stare at me for another second before continue her walk. "What wrong with her", in my thought. I did not care about and went down the escalator for the next LRT ride.
It was raining and I at the bus hub for the universiti station waiting people from IME to fetch me to their office. I saw a girl holding some papers seem to memorise something before leaving by a UM bus. My phone sound, it was the lady who will fetch me, she had reach. On the way to the IME office, the rains have cause KL to show it's ugly side. Cars are need to slow down to across the "water path". At that time felt that my campus not that worst, it is still acceptable compare to our capital.
Tea break time and my time to eat my lunch after arrived at the IME office. Knowing about the two top winners are boys, a bit disappointed. They continue the training and I skipped some lesson. The guy called Amirul who will fetch me to the place I am staying and I will staying with him in this 7 days. His is also the trainer for the 3Dvia composer. The room is occupied with thing by another IME staff who having outstation. After put my stuff and the 1st thing is check if there any internet access here through WiFi. Luckily there is a WiFI that not required password and it got internet access. However, just a while, I cant connect again to the wifi. I having my dinner near the apartment, just outside. I order a clay-pot rice and cost me RM5.50, quite reasonable (maybe because it taste good). Went back to the room and there still no internet connection. The 1st boring night and a early sleep that night.

The happening before I go to KL
The very 1st thing i do after open facebook is open the notification, the red ballot that pop out with number inside. My friend post a surprise news in a group. I have won 3rd place in Solidworks skill competition. "OMG, really?", my heart whisper. I could not stop thinking about it, it is truth?
That day i still remember is Saturday, it is still mid sem break, people will only come back by Sunday. Not many people around campus. I just came back from the robocon lab but this stunning news shock me. Then i decide prepare to go to bath but my heart tell go internet search for the result to confirm it. After few click, inside the IME page in facebook, it's wall show I am the 3rd winner. I could not stop "暗爽" in my heart. I really want yell at that time. WOOHOO!!!
The excitement gone after the next day because I know only the two top winners will go Singapore for the regional competition. So i just hope for the price i will get. Life continue with the class start at Monday. Just a normal Monday with less people in class. Yet we are very nervous about the coming test, rumour say is in this Thursday. After the last class, some of my friend straight go to the lecturer there ask about the test.
Another pop up in the skype: the test is on next week. Another great news, suddenly felt so free tonight. The timing really very good, my friend ask me to watch movie that night. So whole night not in campus. After back to campus, to the room, don't where the mind came out, i go check email, then i receive the email that said i will be going to Singapore for the competition. I really happy that time not because I will be compete in the competition but is i can go to Singapore. The reason sound funny but is truth.
The next day which is Tuesday is a busy day for me. That day start with a lab which use almost 2 hours time to complete. After back to room, i check the email again but this time said I need to confirm whether i can go training tomorrow. Firstly i thought i could not go to the training because got test in this week. So I go find Dr. Salman to discuss about this matter. His said I can release from all the classes for this 7 days training. Hence, it is confirm that I going to Petaling Jaya for the training. After settle this, I have a design meeting that I need to attend.
I ask around the time and ways of go to KL and decided to take 930am transnational bus to Pudu Sentral. That night I ask my friend to fetch me to bus station to buy ticket and then just pack my thing for the next day.

1 month away from home
It had been 1 month since the cny holiday in uni, i cant believe i just back to hometown because of home sick. i nvr plan for going back home because there are no free time for me to back home. Back home mean do nothing in home, just eat and play. This week it give me an opportunity, a free weekend, a reason, a excuse for me of having a few days break in home.
i believe there are so many ppl who dun have chances to back to their home. They just back home for every sem or maybe after graduate. In this event it show me that im just weak. Is the distance who make the person look weak, given opportunity to show their other side? or the distance again force the person to become stronger? In the heart of every individual, there sure have envy on each other: why u can back home? why u can stay here for such a long time? why u always back home? why u dun wan back home? It is because i have thing to do, it answer all.
While there is a chance, we should always take the opportunity. there are no wrong in doing so but always dun back when u r busy and others need u there.
ps: i change my IC ^^

after going Singapore....
About 5am, my dad wake me up cause we will going through Johor customs, need to get out from bus to check passport. When going through Johor Bahru customs building, it like money had spend to rebuild and it become nice and big. Comfortable environment for us to check our passport. My dad said last time it was terrible, people need to walk without shelter to the check point. It is better now.
After done with the passport, cross over the bridge, finally reach Singapore after 10 years. Before entering the building, i saw a lot of motorcycle going through customs. It sure lot of people from Malaysia wake up early going Singapore for work and earn SGD which 2.4 time more value than RM. As usual, passport checking at Singapore customs, the building seem old but still in good shape.
My parent and I will going to stay at relative house. we go there by taxi cause it is still early which was 6 something in the morning. There are many people waiting for taxi but there are enough taxi for everyone. It come as soon as one gone. When enter the taxi, i remember one of my memories about taxi, they are using taxi meter at that time. now more electronic device install inside the taxi. Our country still struggle about problem regrading taxi driver not using the meter or the meter had be modify for unfair fare. I think i can only see taxi meter use in kuala lumpur. When reach my relative house, i can see LRT nearby. It is very convenience to the people.
1st day i went to visit my friend in University which is NTU. From my relative house, we went to a shopping mall near NTU call Jurung Point. at the ground floor of the shopping mall, got a integrated bus station. From there i ride bus to enter NTU. From my observation, 99.9% of public transport users were using Ezlink card similar to touch n go in Malaysia. Using the card is cheaper compare with using money to buy ticket.
hmm...NTU quite nice, pavement got shelter, room key using student card scan on the handle to unlock the door, room got air cond, nice cafe environment, good facilities, many type of cafe provided, library provide "cc service", borrow book just with a scan and etc. Very different from my campus.
On the second day and third day, i went 2 both of the Singapore casino. The 1st one is in sentosa, is own by genting name result world sentosa, there got a lot of tourist attraction especially for family member. One of it is universal studio. The universal studio entrance fees is SGD 68 but it offer a 5 dollar ticket which only can visit and no game to play. Still got firework to view.
The 2nd casino located at marina bay. It got different attraction compare with sentosa. At there got a eye of singapore, a marina bay sands(hotel) double helix bridge design and etc. Singapore really got a lot of tourist attraction. i wonder what are the KL attraction?
last stop was at Changi airport. I havnt went to KLIA before, so cant compare both airport. Sure seem nice and beautiful. after that, we went to sentosa again to complete unfinish task, taking photo. ( raining when the 1st time visit) After taking all the photo, going inside the casino. Although there are lot of thing to play in Sentosa, i play nothing. Inside casino, watching people gambling, most of them really gambling not playing with math. Devil sound inside me persuade me to play. I can resist cause my parent were there. Maybe i will have chance to play some day. Most probably after graduate.
Most of the travelling were by MRT/LRT, bus. I can say singapore public transport is very well integrated. Just by using a card, i can travel around singapore. Around the city provide pavement for people to walk. With very high utilization rates of public transport there, you will see no car on road. It is not an ordinary road. It is orchard road, city centre of singapore. Maybe other reason such as new tourist attraction but it is like unbelievable. Good Leaders lead to good governance. Economy, currency, cleanness, enforcement, city planing, technology, development, education and tourism. Inside MRT i heard a 4 language precaution for user: MIND THE GAP, 小心空憩， BERHATI-HATI DI RUANG PLATFORM and Tamil language( i duno )
One day Malaysia will be as excellent as Singapore.
