Monbukagakusho Scholarship Exam

20060429

Went Kuching International Airport, a no-international flights airport, around 1300. Mom left after she drop me down. I went inside the terminal building and waited for KimSong to arrive. He arrived around 1310 and we went to the Arrival Level to find Chang Dick. Chang Dick work as receptionist at the Taxi Cab counter at airport. We talked for 15-20 minutes, asking information about the price and 'quality' of the hotels available around Petaling Street. After that, KimSong and I went to counter G4 to check in. Our flight - AK5209 depart at 1505. Since "passengers are required to check in 1 hours before departure time" AND "passengers are required to be in the waiting hall 30 minutes before departure time"... so we guai1 guai1 check in and go into the hall and waited for 1 hour 20 minutes.
I guess the new policy is good lor, because we went into the flight at 1449 and our flight departed at 1500 sharp! (unlike the past, where almost everytime the flight delayed even for 30 minutes =.=' WELL DONE I must say =p)
We arrived safe and sound at LCCT Airport (new airport huh? last month I didnt use this airport when I come back Kuching) around 1651. We waited for the taxi driver KheeHan's parents recommended, Mr Lim to come and pick us. He arrived after 15 minutes. Then he told us to buy the taxi ticket at airport, which cost RM56.60. KimSong talked and talked with him along the 1 and 1/2 hours trip to Petaling Street. Wondering how and where he got the topics to talk for so so so LONG~! haha... Anyway, when we reach Petaling Street, we found our self in trouble when all the inns we planned to go, of cause those cheap ones with 0 star =p haha, were fully booked. (I only remember Backpackers and the rest I forget the names already =p haha). Luckily the taxi driver was kind enough to bring us around that area to look for inn FREE-OF-CHARGE *phew*... Finally we came to a very-cheap inn, City Inn, which cost RM50 per night. Guess what, the owner told us that theres only 1 room available for 1 day, cause other customer booked the room for tomorrow already. We was so o.O... because theres no point staying 1 day ONLY and look for another place the day after. It will be really really troublesome as the "demands" are EXTREM high there. But just before we decided to leave, the owner changed her mind and told us that we can stay for 2 nights. Thank goodnees.
We spent the whole night at room after dinner at Tang2 Cheng2 Mei3 Shi2 Zhong1 Xin1. =.=' The RM4 ji1 si1 mee wasnt enough cause the mee so LITTLE. I suppost to study at night since I didnt study the days before. But I wasnt studying at all (looked thru Chemistry a bit only) cause KimSong talking to me =p *blueksSs* Went to bed around 2300...

Almost forget to mention... The room we stayed was very lousy... The bathroom door was spoilt and the water for the heater is freezing cold =S

Woke up at 0615. Went Petaling Street to look for breakfast around 0700. Most of the stalls havnt open that time. So we went to the porridge stall since its the only "hot-spot" in the morning.
We reach the Zhun1 Kong3 school at 0745. 0800 Sharp, everyone started to line up to register and go into the hall.
The First paper was English, started at 0900. hmm, 60 questions in 60 minutes? VERY tough for me!
The second paper was Maths B, started at 1015. hmm, quite OK~ since the answers was quite straight forward and "bulat". Part of the answer was integer.
Third paper, Chemistry! (I hate most), started at 1130. hmm, still ok lar, at least better than STPM, no subjective =p
1230-1330: We went to the stalls near by to have our lunch.
Last paper was Physics, started at 1400... the questions are so so HARD! since I cant remember the equations for most of the questions, I cant answer the paper, even its OBJECTIVE... I can only answer the circuit-resistor question, which I'm 110% sure I'm correct for that question =p haha
Obtional Papers: Japanese A, B and C. Only a few people take those papers (Around 20?). The others, like us, went home after that.
We went back to City Inn since the weather was SUPER hot. Cant go 'explore' around Petaling Street that time, unless you wanna get sunburn =p. We played cards for the whole afternoon =p
Around 1900, we go to a stall somewhere behind the shops at Petaling Street for dinner. After that, we walked around and...
KimSong called SHUAI and ask her what she want for her birthday!!! We misunderstood her SMS: "watch..... u know lar, chinese culture". We thought she wans "Watch with chinese culture printing or design". So we walked THE WHOLE area over and over to look for "that" watch. In the end, we called her again to confirm the watch she wanted. Then only we know that she wants "watch... unless we got pantang of song4 zhong1 of chinese culture"... haha... so embaraasing =p hmm, I decided not to buy at Petaling Street. The things there were unreliable. You'll never know how long those things can last.
Then we went Popular to buy some note pads and bookmarks. Spent RM 19.40 for those things.
Went back inn after that. KimSong called ShuAi again and talked to her. hmm, I did talk to her for a while after that =p Well... excited of course =p Don't know why until now I'll still nervous when talking to her =.='
Then, we (KimSong and me) talked for the rest of the night. Until 0000, both of us very tired, after talking for so many hours, then only sleep.

Woke up at 0600. After bathed, we went to the same porridge stall yesterday for breakfast. Then, we went back to inn and waited for the taxi driver to come. Just after KimSong went into the toilet, Mr Lim called and told us that he is at downstair. haha... what a conincident.
We reach airport around 0850. Then we wait until 0930 before we go to get our AirAsia AK5206 ticket from the chekc in counter. Then we wait at the departure hall until 1100. Around 1040, I called Shuai and told her about our flight. And I ask her when she is free in June or July, cause maybe wana ask her out when come over that time. She said OK~ as long as its in the weekend ;)
Flight departed at 1100 and reached Kuching at 1300... as expected ;)... We went to cab counter to talk with ChangDick while waiting for our parents to come and pick us up.

This is sure a wonderful and NICE trip ;) hehe... I wouldnt regret going over there even if I failed to get Monbukagakusho Scholarship ;)
