Sand man. Heh?

Sent this email to my dad the other day:

(Will add the pics soon)

Here are the pictures I could get today. I don’t know if this is enough.

Description about the Pictures: (mostly taken on the 13^th of August)

There are pictures showing 6 blue water tanks that’s 99% empty. Itu kan, everyday, if the tanks were still filled water when there was no water around KML, long lines of humans will be created around the tanks to get themselves water.

There is also a picture of empty buckets lining up outside of the owners’ rooms, hoping that they would get it filled with water soon.

There are 3 pictures of students of KML lining up to get water from one of the water taps that still flows water. Don’t know how long it will stand. This situation will start everyday at around 4pm. Everyone hopes they could get themselves water. Kadang-kadang, bila sudah berbaris 10++ orang, baru orang yang ke-4 sudah mati tu air. Sangat mengecewakan. Yang gambar-gambar sya ambil tu, masa tu ada lebih kurang 8 orang tu. Saya rasa ada lagi ramai cuma dorang kasi biar tu baldi dorang situ harapkan tu barisan sikit dulu baru dorang datang balik.

There’s a picture of one girl heading to the surau to get water from there. Last time, my roommates and I went there when we were really desperate for water. But it was after 8pm. By the time we arrived there, kami kena suruh balik sudah and them saying, “Tinggal untuk kegunaan surau lagi,” I can’t say anything. Pusing balik la.

The tap water is our only hope when the water dries out from the tank. And this one is behind our block (Block madani D). I’m writing this whole thing right now which is 5.40pm, ada sudah orang mandi situ dekat tu tap water. Good thing the water is still flowing. For now.

Relate this with the H1N1 case.

Here’s what my close friend (who’s already out of matrics) told me today when I told her about the increase number of infected people from 3 person to 6 person in 2 days. Through SMS. Filtered the language. [Sorry for the inconvenience.]

And I quote – “ ISH! (Censored word) oh matriks! (Censored) the edu minister! Ko tau knpa byk kes tu?!! SEBAB TIADA AIR!!! Kan kalau kes gini, d most important thing is HYGIENE!! Kalau tda air, camana mau cuci tgn?! Stupid punya kerajaan. Hipokrit mo mampus!!”

She quit matrix last 2 weeks. She wanted to take law. So yeah, she quitted. I would say, she’s lucky to be out of here.

Here’s what I want to say about matrix.

Well yes, of course this is the best way to get into to university. But here, the name is Matriculation. Sadly, the facilities are terrible. Water source is horrible. College management is very unexceptional. The Tenaga Pengajar is unremarkable. Did you know, dorang ada juga mengumpat about the students of their kuliah?? My classmate, a good friend of mine, shared this with me yesterday. She went to the Menara Pentadibiran/MP where all the lecturers are, and wanted to ask questions about maths. So, she was tip toeing around the area to look for available lecturers to ask – most of them were busy and some already went home. Anyways, ada la dia jumpa juga satu maths lecturer – kami punya kuliah lecturer baru tukar and she is ketua bahagian maths ka, something like that. Tapi sebelum my friend pegi tegur dia, dia masih lagi lalu-lalu tu kawasan mau cari lecturer lain. As dia lalu tu kawasan, dia terdengar la conversation of our lecturer sama satu lecturer lain. “Ah, apa juga tu F4. Tak lengang …” Kami kuliah F4. Dia, kami punya lecturer baru, cakap begitu pasal kami yang dia baru ja masuk mengajar?? Even so, my friend pegi juga tempat lecturer tu la. Dia pun cakap, “Miss, boleh minta ajar ni..?” Directly the lecturer say to her, “Takde lecturer lain ke yang available?” My friend terdiam sekejap. She replied, “Uh, I’m F4, miss.” Quickly the lecturer reply, “Oh ye ke!? Sorry, sorry. Ape die?”

Hipokrit. It seems yang dorang ni sebenarnya have no intention to ajar us. How useless is that. Buat sya kecewa hati oh.

And during this H1N1 season, I just wish they let this place close down for a while. It’s okay if they have to extend the month till next June. Asalkan kurangkan tu risiko daripada semua orang kena tu penyakit. Baru ja tadi, got one female lecturer disyaki ada h1n1. And she’s pregnant. This is very terrible.

I’m actually scared at this disease. I wanna go home. Kalau nda pun, jauh dari ni penyakit la. Okeh la. Itu ja bebelan sya hari ni. Hehe.
