Minesweeper

There’s this game application called Minesweeper which can be ubiquitously found in most Windows OS. But I’m sad to say that I don’t really know exactly how to play that game. I know that the numbers in the squares tell us how many mines are surrounding that area but I haven’t got the slightest clue that there’s actually a technique in figuring out where the mines are actually placed (I know…laugh all you want).

Until…last week when I was in Taiping, I went to Ng’s place to conveniently used her internet as my line back home sucks (thanks a lot Ng =D). That was the day where Ng enlightened me by teaching me how to go about playing Minesweeper. And now I’m kind of addicted to Minesweeper. Whenever I’m bored, I seek for mines! But until today, I still couldn’t get pass the intermediate level. Give me some time Ng.

KL

Got here on Monday(25 May) but I only started unpacking two days later…..(procrastinating= yanming)

Orientation this week. Yippie…. (note the ‘excitement’ in my voice)

June 1^st will be my first day as an undergrad. Hurray.... (note the ‘eagerness’ to learn)

So what do I think about KL. It may sound very cliché but I’ll still mention it here. KL is busy. KL is complicated. KL is so inconvenient but yet convenient in a certain way. Simply put, KL is so not Taiping. As soon as I step foot here, my spending power decreases by approximately two times; if not three times. Going out by car would means getting stuck in a traffic jam, although my area here is not that bad when it comes to traffic. And not forgetting, driving in KL=getting lost. We seriously need to start recognizing roads and landmarks.

On the other hand, we generally don’t have problem moving around; thanks to my housemates who have cars. So distance is not really a problem for us. I’m also glad that public transports are easily available near my condo. Taxis are right in front of my condo. Buses and LRT are within walking distance. And when I’m on my balcony at night taking in some ‘fresh’ air, this is the view I get….

The actual view is way better

I wanted to take a photo of this view in the daylight, but the sky was kind of hazy. And I could barely see the concrete jungle out there. So, did I experience any culture shock? Well, maybe a little. It’s more like an eye-opener to be exact. Am I ready as an undergrad engineering student? NO. Nobody is. Hah, wish me luck. Cause I need it as I don’t exactly know what I am getting myself into. I’m like a blind mice digging its’ own grave (although I know mice don’t dig graves). From now onwards its either sink or swim, do or die. To succeed or die trying.
