Walking in UBD with Jesse as a guide

Monday, August 31, 2009
I was at the UBD library looking to open my resources widely. It's definitely bigger and more high tech than ITB (and the wifi works on my macbook) but I'm not saying we should all go there. Most people appreciate the homely feeling of the library in ITB. In any case, walking in there is like entering Singapore's International Airport. The security guard helped me around to find the information desk so I can get a layout of the place but I guess without any help, I might get lost again. Fortunately, and it is inevitable, the people I know in PTEB were excited to see me there. In turn I was happy to see some familiar faces.

But I needed help from my close friend. Who else than my best friend, Jesse? Sent her a text and next thing you know we both went around the campus with Jesse as a guide. I was lucky enough to have Fakhrul days ago to show me around but I'm afraid if I arrived there alone, again I'd get lost. You're seeing now a person with no sense of directions. As theorized and proven true by my big sister.

We went to FASS, SHBIE, the Canteen (which is surprisingly called Taman Selera, "Garden of Delicacies"?) then ending up in the Language Centre where Jessie's Japanese class starts at 2pm. I stayed for awhile chatting about Japan, my trip there and her experiences in her Japanese Club (can't remember the abbreviation). Ka, if you're reading this, Jesse finds you an inspiration :) She's going to Japan sometime and might like to meet you once.

Oh, while at the language center, who's name did I find on one of the doors? My cousin, Kaka Suci ^^

So we ended our stop at her Japanese class an hour before it starts. She with her lunch and myself with the macbook showing pics of my trip to Japan last year, we discussed what'll it be like living there and how much food you can take in and still lose weight. Just like old times.


Here are some pics of the people I met in the library. Oh, to explain the hat, I'm currently bald :D


Azizi my home boy. Always a laugh!




Met Fifah and her gang. I really miss them PTEB people.


Forgot to take a picture with Jesse. Next time then. I'm happy and fortunate enough though to see Jesse. Someone asked us if I'm a new student there. "No," said Jesse. "He's my best friend since how long? Since Form 3 right?"

"Form 2, we've been friends for seven years."
Amazing how old friends bond.
