Shopping & Orientation & Shopping

25th August... OOps... i'm still a long way behind my blog ler.... i think i will just touch n go lar...
can't include much details... if not, i'll always be few days behind my blog...

Actually, just moved in to my new room lor... it's a single room, quite decent, not really big but it is enough for one lar.... and my neighbour is Eric, both of us share a bathroom... so, it is easy for us to keep to bathroom clean... we can just leave all the toiletries in the bathroom lor... no need to take it with us and keep it after us...

basically, it is just a day for us to unpack our stuff... one more thing, we did opened a checking account... it is very common for us to sign a check to pay a bill, to pay a restaurant, to pay this and that lar.... and got a free sweat shirt for it... wat's nice about the sweat shirt is that it has the word 'MICHIGAN' across the chest.... Go MICHIGAN, GO BLUE, GO WOLVERINES....!!!

At night, one of our seniors, Ayun, cooked us dinner.... she cooked nasi ayam... really nice and definitely better than the one serving at main cafe at INTEC, UiTM... THANKX a lot.... :-P



26th August...
Ok, this is the way that my blog should go... include all the details very tiringler...

so, today, we went to open another account, the University of Michigan Credit Union bank account. This is because this bank does not charge incoming funds wiring... in this way, we dun have to pay a commission to the bank everytime JPA sends us money... Cool...and we got a cool water bottle for it....nice.... i wonder is there any other bank giving free stuff for us to keep money there??

so, at the late afternoon, we went to Meijers to purchase groceries and simple furnitures, and other needed stuffs.... bought a comforter there. a water purifier, detergent, food stuff...and that's all...
had subway for dinner... not bad.. it's tasty and healthy...

tomorrow is the starting of my orientation... hope that it will be fun..



27th August...

So, orientation har... Nothing much lar.... a lot of people attended it and the hall was really packed entirely with students and parents... and 90% of them have black hair...got wat i mean?
At first, before coming to Michigan, i still think that the Malaysian community will be the biggest group in Michigan, but i was very wrong... 20 of us is nothing... coz Singapore and Korea have about 60 students each, and there China students, Japanese students, Taiwanese Students....and also Hong Kongers students....and India....and Pakistan, and Egypt.... The talks were simple and nice... the play was insightful... and the food served at the dining hall were nice... everything was really nice.. and i do appreciate it ...a lot....settled all the important paperworks,(about our F1 visa status) stuff lor.... and followed the campus tour.... got to know several seniors(orientation leaders)

at night, got my internet connection at last.... started to download stuff... didn't upload coz it is not safe and it is against the law.... so, i'm smart enuff to keep myself from landing on a sue , landing on a summon bill.....nothing much at night also,.... really bored....luckily can online, almost one week didn't online, really siong....

tmr will be the 2nd orientation day... sien... more talks and shopping....
