Ramadan Bazaar

A few days ago, I went with some of my friends to the Ramadan Bazaar near my college. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, where we were all hanging around after our Malaysian Studies class dismissed at 5.45pm when one of my friends asked be whether we wanted to follow her to the Ramadam Bazaar. Since we had no other plans for the day and were all staying alone, we agreed. So 4 of us, Avinash, Nurul, Christy and myself hailed a cab and went to the Bazaar.

I in my vision that the Subang Bazaar should be bigger than the Melaka one was imagining a 1km stretch of stalls. 
Upon arrival, disappointment. It was only half of the Melaka ones. But still, it was stalls of food, and that about all i care about. Murtabak. 



Jacket Potatoes Malay Style


Are those 6 packs??!! 

Walked up and down looking at all the food on sale and ended up queuing for MURTABAK. Apparently it was quite famous, i had to wait 20 minutes in line. 


It was kinda boring waiting in line



Altogether, i bought Roti John, Murtabak and a bottle of mata kucing juice.

Now going back from the bazaar was the part we didn't account for. Casue, as we soon realised, there were no taxis at that area. So the only choice, walk to the main road, which was actually kinda near. In fact very near. But there were girls with us, so very near turned out to be exhaustingly far. At the main road we hailed a cab and the 3 of them who all stayed at Subang Avenue got on and i proceeded to walk back to my room which was only 10 minutes away.

Conclusion, I spent 8 bucks to go to a Bazaar which was about 15 minutes away from my room by walk and bought some awesome Murtabak there. Well spent i would say, cause in the end it was all about 1 Malaysia.

Faces of ICSJ

1. Joshua Fernandez



The gentleman on the far left. A Klang-ite and Bryant Lee's ex-classmate from La Salle Klang A crazy dude. Joshua is the kind of guy that you just can't help liking. The life of our little group and has a joke for every situation. He also does very good impersonations of our teachers which always leaves us laughing hard. However, through a sad turn of timetables we were allocated different classes. I'm in JUS1 where else he, in JUS2.


2. Tur Chin Hua



Also a Klang-ite and Bryant Lee's ex-classmate from La Salle Klang. On 1st impression he looks like a typical Chinese guy eating noodles. When you look closer, you find out that, he is still a typical Chinese guy eating noodles. Excellent at maths and memorizing, and is also rumored to be a pro at Chemistry.


3. Avinash Jey



A guy from Pahang. Met him during orientation and kinda kicked off from there. Stays at Subang Avenue and is currently in the same class as I am.


4. Andrea Lau



A girl from Kuching, Sarawak. She is in A-Levels Arts doing Law. Met her during orientation. According to her a lot of people from Sarawak come to the Subang area to further their studies. Apparently, the colleges and universities in Sarawak are lousy..... A sweet girl who hangs out with us during lunch, cause according to her, quote unquote "All the fun people are in Science". I have no reason not to disagree. XD


5. Arhwin



Arhvin joined the May intake so he has finished his Malaysian Studies and Moral. An avid reader and a fellow Lassalian from La Salle PJ. But the thing that makes Arvin unique is....


6. Ashwin



.....that he has a clone named Ashwin. I don't know what it is, but there something about parents and twins and name that sound so similar that can't be avoided. Don't they ever think that it will be harder for other people to decipher who's who? Also an avid reader and like his brother, a very outspoken person. Well, that is a trait of Lassalian students..... The only way to tell them apart is their hairstyle, and then they had to go cut it. Great.


7. Kar Yan



The woman on the right. A native Subang person and maths queen. Was trained in the ancient art of mathematical dominance since the age of 3. Not much is know about her yet, but time shall tell.


8. Calvin Ng



As hard to believe as it may seem, this macho, terminator looking guy is the class joker. He is the guy who makes JUS1, JUS1. Seriously the class would be boring without him. Together with Dennis, he can make any boring class fun. Also has an ongoing feud with Eugene.

At the varsity

Being true to my incomplete name and nature, the post on June Camp shall forever remain incomplete. Contrary to what people may thing, being incomplete is not something that is easy to become. It actually requires SKILL. XD

All that aside, it has already been a week since I furled in my sails and dropped anchor at Subang Jaya, Selangor. 7 days since I left the comfort of my Malacca home and the good food that resides there. 168 hours since I started my journey through college and 10080 minutes of living alone in my own room. And i have to say that until now I have no complaints about my new way of living.

Now 10 facts about me and my new college :

1. My college is situated right bang in the middle of a food hub. You'll never go hungry again.
2. My lecturers are all Indian.
3. My physics lecturer brought a projectile launcher that shoots apples and potatoes to my class on the second day. It uses a valve and a canister of compressed air to work. Gonna try it out next week, YEAH!
4. I found out that nothing can move faster than light, even if your traveling at the speed of light, you still cannot go faster than light.
5. My maths lecturer recommends a book to us every class without fail.
6. My chemistry lecturer sounds like he's from India.
7. I was psyco-ed to buy original textbooks.
8. I currently hate Paul the octopus. But I'm going to be a hypocrite and wait till the finals to decide whether Paul is suited for the fire pot or for the aquarium.
9. It only takes 20 minutes for me to walk from my house to Sunway College. (And I didn't even sweat)
10. I still have no internet at home. (Infiltrated Sunway College and am blogging from the library there)
