Madison

Yeah, fianlly I reach Madison safely after a 30hours+ long flight journey. To cut the story short, I would talk about the environment, weather, food and people here.

Madison is definitely a nice and scenic place. It makes me feel like I am having a trip rather than studying here (the feeling is definitely going to be different when classes start haha). People cycling and ealking around, and the cars will stop for the pedestrians. Just know that pedestrians can have such a privilege!

Walking around the campus. Going to have a few classes at this hall very soon.

The statue of Abraham Lincoln. Students will rub his right shoes before going to examination hall and even sit on his lap when they graduate. If sit on his lap before graduating,then maybe nightmare will occur. Interesting right?

One of the church in Madison

Red Gym which houses many international students offices.

Science Hall. I am not going to have class here, i guess

Asian market. Can find many malaysi products here like milo, nescafe,maggi chili sauce, ping pong soda biscuits and others.

Walking around Lake Wingra

The weather here is kinda unpredictable. Although there is sunshine, but the wind is cold enough to make people shivering. On the other hand, it can be as hot as malaysia sometimes, but can be colder than genting at night. Weird weather!

For the food here, I had eaten many types of fast food for the past few days. However, we could find Asian food here easily, just that it is quite expensive. I still think that Malaysia food is the best!

The people here are so much friendly! Since Madison is nominated as the most livable and friendly city, I guess it will be very normal when strangers or passerby smile,talk or even exchange number with you. I had bumped into several americans who took the initiative to have a long talk with us. The most impressive one will be the lady and her family whom we met at Walmart. I was actually asking her where to get pasta sauce and never expected we could talk for such a long time. She even invited us to her house. More stories about my other counters these few days. I seriously like to observe people!

Aku Memang Tak Bawa IC

Why there are so many polices at Muar recently?
Everywhere I go, the police are there!The town seems to be very peaceful and there is no need to be aware of pickpocket at all.

But we were too lucky to meet the road block on our way to pasar malam today.There is nothing much to be afraid of, but I am just afraid that they would check the IC, which I do not bring all the times when I go out.(Would only bring along my IC if I did remember to bring my student card haha). 
After checking the license and road tax, the police asked some random questions

Nak pergi mana ni?
Pasar malam
Dekat mana?
Sungai Abong
Ada pasar malam dekat sana ke?
Ada ah
Owh itu bukan sungai abong la,itu Taman xxx
(Tapi itu memang sungai abong ah. Kami cakap tempat yang lain lo) 

Haiz don't care whether it is near Sungai Abong or not. As long as didn't ask for my IC, then I am fine with it. I don't have so much money left to pay for another rm300 after spending so much money to buy all the stuffs before leaving!

I totally forgot about the word "fat" when good food are in front of me! Fail fail fail
Ate non-stop at pasar malam there like cake, lekor, ban chiang kuih, doughnut and not to forget the most famous laksa at Bakri there.
Not much chance for me to eat all the local delicacies as well.
So the two weeks left will be my food splurge week 

自己跌倒自己爬

自己跌倒自己爬！

这是大家都很熟悉的童谣

记得小时候，我总会与同伴们一起哼这首歌

妈妈也总是会在我跌倒时说这句话

简简单单的一句话

我已好久没听到了

今天无意中听到邻居对她的女儿说

感到有点陌生

但儿时回忆又在脑海中盘旋了

Yeah that's it

Yesh finally my name is the on the flight list.

I was planning to call MAS again next week, but Pey Suh who is going to Maryland told me that she is flying on 23August as well. I was thinking since there are only two people going to Maryland and their flight is on 23rd, all the Madison students should fly on the same day right?!

Being curious again, I called MAS and finally found out that my name is on the list. The receptionist even asked me "sama dengan Teo Mou Jian, Tan Yeet Chien dan Subramaniam kan?"
Ya i know the first two persons but not the last haha

Relieved now but still "problems are always there"(i just like this quote so much). Maybe I am just too free that problems are overwhelming me

Wait mai wait lo

Yerrrrr feel like ranting and sighing all the time!Feel like shouting as well.
A lot of my friends called MAS and they were able to get a confirmation from MAS that their flight date will be on 23 August.
But why my name is not on the passengers' list?

First i called the English line, they connected me to many other sublines, but my call was in vain because they insisted me to give them the reference number of flight ticket number, which I explained to them I did not booK the flight on my own and I don't know any single detail about it.
Next I called the  Chinese line, the lady checked for me, but my name is not on the list.
Rommate called for me as well and they really don't have my name there.
Lastly, i tried the Malay line, the lady told me I was not listed also. Flared up ah.
Three lnaguages I called, just left out the Tamil line only. Wth!

I don't believe JPA will lfet out anyone, so I called them to get a peace of mind.
The lady said the agent hasn't confirmed with them, that's why they hvn't send us any email till now. Hmm maybe there is a possibility that the agent hasn't booK the ticket for some of us?!Aiya, I am really getting frustrated over all these stuffs aldy. What can I do now is just wait and this type of waiting sucks to the max! 
 

No Matter

No matter how reluctant I am

No matter how unwilling I am

I can't escape from it

I have to accept and face it

I ask myself not to think so much

I ask myself not to be afraid

And I know everything will be fine when time passes on
Ok let move and run
