Behold...
...the S Block!
No, being residents of Shakespeare block do not make us Old English speaking, poetry spouting maestros. Haha. By the way, all of the hostel blocks in Inti-UC are named after famous people like Aristotle, Beethoven, Confucius, Gandhi etc. There's even a RahmanPutra block which i assume is to commemorate our late premier, Tunku Abdul Rahman.
Each block consists of 5 levels, including the ground floor. There is no elevator, so people living on the ground floor or first floor (me!) tend to have things easier. Our block is an all girls block...or so it seems. There used to be guys on the ground floor but i think they moved somewhere else.
The daily journey to class starts with this road. And the walk is indeed a long one..about 10 to 15 minutes. Though Inti provides students with these nice shaded walkways (the blue zinc shades) for the entire route from the hostel blocks to the academic blocks. Unlike a certain college back in Penang. *coughDistedcough*
And this is the very special seat of the hostel guard =D =D ...in which she is MIA. Sometimes I can't help but wonder at the boring-ness of the job. Especially those with night shifts.
The first floor of our hostel block looks like that, with 9 rooms on either side. My room is the first one you see when you walk up the stairs and coincidentally also the one nearest to the toilet. No, the toilet does not stink. Heh. =P (I must say that the toilets in the academic blocks smell like a stink bomb has been left inside all the time. Hahaha.)
And these are pictures of the common toilet next to my room. There's another common toilet on the opposite end of the first floor. One thing about them toilets is that they're playing grounds for insects, bugs and critters of sorts. While you bathe, there's always more than a pair of eyes watching you. Haha. Though i think now we're used to having their 'company', we often perceive them as part of the surroundings. =D
The pantry area where we get our water source. I'm not too sure if there are any side effects to drinking water from the water cooler for long durations of time.
Everyone, this is my room. =) Do note that we hand wash our clothes most of the time cause washing machine charges RM 2.50 per usage. Sad thing is that there's not enough ventilation and sunlight coming into our blocks so the clothes take quite some time to dry..Not to mention it has been raining here the past few days. Oh yes, notice the square box on the top left corner of the picture? It's there cause we have...
...That. Free air conditioners for every room in this block. Just for JPA students. I feel so SPECIAL. hAHA.
Guess which side is mine? =P
See the notice boards on either sides of the wall? Each room has those for us to pin up whatever notices, schedules and stuff. I couldn't find the internet port the first day i came. Searched high and low but to no avail until someone told me that it was situated at the bottomest rack (the area where you can see the wires snaking around). If people's LAN cable not long enough then how? Who designed the room anyway. DUmb dumb idea. =p
There, closer inspection of the shelf. This is our food section. BOth my roomie and I are foodies. =D And she can eat a lot without gaining weight. No fair!
Mine.
Michelle's.
Yes, she's taller. Much taller then i am. Hence the higher shelf.
I have no picture to show of her cause she didn't want me to take her photo. =P
END OF TOUR.
So, what'd you think of my hostel? Nice, yes? =)
Well, I think it's nice. Nothing comes freely so i guess life in the remote town of Nilai is our price to pay for comfortable accommodations.
