A month in Beijing

你好！我叫陈艺芳！是北外的留学生。。

Time just flies without I even realize it. K, now I'm officially a foreign student here in Beijing. Under a university named Beijing Foreign Studies University (北京外国语大学）. Sometimes I wonder, am I dreaming? Or is this some kind of fantasy that I create in my mind. Being a KMKN student, and suddenly I'm here studying chinese mandarin that I never think of before. haha.. K, enough with that. I would like to write about my life here. What has happened in the first month of having the identity as 留学生（foreign student) here.. 

First of all, this is my roommate!OK, we had too much coincidence incidents. We are 同屋（roommates), 同学 (classmates), usrah-mates, groupmates.. Hurm, what else. huhuhu.. And with the fact that both of us were classmates since form 1 - form 5 in SMKI before, it feels like we're destined to be with each other.. hahaha.. Everyone else were like "you guys together again??".. Hurmm, no comment~~~~ We were placed in room 6326 when we arrived here.. Room 326, 3rd Floor, Foreign Student Building 6, West Court.. 

These are my classmates.. 马来三班 的学生(Malay Class 3). 15 students in total. 3 guys, 12 girls.. Plus with our class teacher, 李丹薇 老师 (teacher Li Dan Wei).. From all parts of Malaysia and here, we become classmates.. Well, there's 3 Sg. Petani "kids" in this class including me.. SP hooray! hihihi. Plus, there's 2 ex-KMKN too in this class (including me). Coincidence much! Another ex-KMKN is in another class.. Ah and one more ex-KMKN is in another university.. Too many ex-KMKN here huh.. The "betrayers".. hoho. And btw, we were all given chinese names. And my chinese name is Chen Yi Fang (陈艺芳）

Night time! In front of our university's west gate...

One of my senior called this "Menara Kuala Lumpur" Beijing version.. This is the place I bought my new hp after my old hp turned off by itself on the day I arrived here.. -.-

Coursemates.. The 95-ers..

This is my faculty.. 中文学院。。It's much bigger in real life..

Inside our university, there's this big "guy"..

And also this big "girl"..

School trip to The Great Wall. Awesome!

This is 饺子 (Dumpling). Yummy!!! I love it! There's meat inside.. 

Having a fun snapping day under the golden-ing leaves..

A trip to another university that place Malaysian students studying chinese mandarin under KPM as well. （北京语言大学）

Favourite cucuk-cucuk! Behind our university, there's this stall selling halal cucuk-cucuk. It's like sate, but it's not sate.. Crab, chicken, mushroom etc.. huhu

A trip to Niujie Mosque during Aidiladha. Met a lot of Muslims there, Chinese Muslim, Pakistanis etc.. It was a great experience!

Practice makes perfect.. :D

With super seniors eating dumpling. They're in their last year here in Beijing.. Goodluck brother and sisters.. 

Batch trip to watch Kungfu show at the Red Theatre. Awesomely addicted!

Uwaaa :'(

Title tu dah tells everything kot. I'm crying!! Inside and out. Rasa scared and insecure.. As I'm writing this, it's the last night I'm here in SP before going to China. It's already 0015 on Monday now, so in a few more hours, I'm leaving SP after breakfast. Actually flight this Thursday, at 0025. But because I got some important things to do, so I'm going to KL earlier. Actually xla awal sgt, pegi Isnin, Selasa, then Rabu ni 1700 dah kena ada kat KLIA. Not much time left to enjoy my life in Malaysia as a free 18-years-old-girl. Lepas ni dah jadi student uni. Kat negara orang pulak tu.

Honestly berat hati sgt rasa. Dah la fly b4 raya haji. Sedih tau! Sedih jugak nk tinggalkan si kecik manja Zara tu. Confirmly I'm gonna super miss her. Selalu sgt manja ngn Acu dia ni, mana la Acu xkeberatan nk tinggalkan dia. Si adik Rifqy pon mesti rindu nak dengar dia merengek ngn mengeliat. Baru sebulan lebih dah mngeliat macam org besaq.. Ish3. Yang si 3Zs plk msti rindu dgn celoteh diorg bila blk SP. N then, mesti rindu masakan Mama yang forever terbaik di dunia. hihihi. Walaupun mama terror masak tp bakat tu x pulak turun kat ank bongsu dia ni. Musykil2. Maybe sbb ank bongsu ni pemalas nk masuk dapur kot. hehehe. Tp nak wat cemana, dah terbiasa. Since kecik, bila masuk dapur ja, my 3 elder sisters masing2 tolong mama buat macam2. And I was like watching around and did nothing. At the end sampai kesudah xreti2 masak. Tah macam mana nk hidup kat Beijing x tau la. Tp insyaAllah, klu dah terpaksa tu, akn masak jugak. Kebulur kang klu still pemalas.

How My Life's Doing Now

Wow. It's been a month since the last post. I miss writing here but I have nothing to write and I'm actually pretty busy downloading stuffs these few days. huhuhu. Not weird stuffs k, just "bunch" of movies (mostly cartoons) and dramas/shows. It was just for fun at first but now it's becoming a habit. I need to download something as soon as I switch on the laptop. And currently as I'm writing this, I'm downloading a movie. 

K in a month, of course lots of things happened. I went to BTN for 5 days (26/8 - 30/8) at Kem Bina Negara Meru, Klang. I tell u, I like to call it "Sleepy 5 Days". Honestly I'm a sleepy-head girl, so don't expect me to clearly listen to all the ceramah 24hours without the sleepiness comes and disturb me. b4 that, we students under KPM going to Beijing got KPM "interview" session, cewahh. k merepek, actually just got some briefing from KPM regarding our flight, scholarships etc. It was held at KWSP somewhere in Bangi (25/8 - 26/8). We all went to BTN by bus around 1pm 26/8. Total up, students under KPM going to Beijing --> 83 students.

At the KWSP and BTN. 

10/10/2013 - I'm going here! Beijing Foreign Studies University. InsyaAllah. May Allah ease everything. 40 students under KPM and 19 students(that's what I heard) under MARA for this year's batch in this uni. BFSU a.k.a Beiwai. :) (gambar from google)

Anyway, I know my blood type d!! B+!!

Another boy got into the family. Was born when I was still at BTN. Nur Zara Qairina finally got a sibling, Muhammad Rifqy Haziq. 

 And here is Zara concentrating. Concentrating in what?? Watching Upin Ipin... hehhe

K that's it. Nothing much happened except for the BTN and my new nephew.. 

My life in KMKN

Enough about the college in the latest post. Now I wanna talk about my stories there in KMKN. Just a month here. But rasa sayang tu of course la wujud jugak kat tempat ni! First masa masuk sini dulu 7/7/2013, masuk bilik Insaniah (F) 218. And nak dijadikan cerita my roommates are all Kedah-an. Well, one of them was a Kedah-an. Kedah sekali satu, semua rumah dekat kawasan yg lebih kurg plk tu!

 The one in green is Mirah. She's a Kelantanese now but she was actually a Kedah-an b4. And taman dia dulu bersebelahan my taman ja!!! And dia jugak dulu bestfriend with my longtime bestfriend, Farah kat sekolah diorang. K we call that destiny. Sgt destiny!! Dia SPC RCMP. The one in pink with specs is Aina. Orang Sungai Petani jugak. But kawasan Kuala Muda/Yan. She's taking Pharmacy. And the last one is Midah. Orang Merbok. Dia macam Mirah jugak, budak SPC RCMP. Hahaha. Funny jugak kan. Tetiba 4-4 org ni boleh berkumpul dlm satu bilik. Cakap Kedah belaka. And semua minat Korea, so you can expect something there. hehe. But, it was only for a week. Then each of us berpecah ke different rooms (except for Mirah & Midah) cause km semua dipaksa utk duduk dlm bilik mengikut course km masing2. And that's how I moved to room Insaniah 204. Mirah and Midah to 225 and Aina to 224. Eventhough seminggu ja, I love you guys so much!! 

Done orientation week, I moved to other room with different roommates. And these are the new roommates. Diorang sgt baik!!! Sangat2 baik. I'm the one yg agak jahat kat diorang.. Haihh. Rasa bersalah x habis lagi.. B4 I left, diorang belanja KFC la, and then beli pin tanda roommates la. And plan nk outing for the last time together 4 org was ruined by me sebab nak tido punya pasal. They went outing 3 orang ja.. Wuuuuuu.. I'm so sorry T_T. I'm a bad girl I know. :(

The one with brownish scarf is Syirain. We call her Ain. She's very talkative and her self-confidence is at the top! She's from Terengganu. A businessman's daughter, so u can expect from where the self-confidence and courage came from. Plus she's one our college's MPP. The one in white is Sarah from Selangor. A coop-ers just like me. And she's just like me. Ank bongsu. The one in rainbow colour is Husna from Melaka. She's one of BTN (kot). I can't remember apa bnda tu dipanggil. But kiranya dia nnti akn berniaga in our college. Around 3 weeks sebilik dgn diorang, serious diorang sgt sgt sgt baik!

My classmates. Taken inside library. 

These are my course-mates. Gambar atas dlm kelas tutorial while gambar tengah in kuliah. Yang bawah skali plk gambar dlm dewan after iftar SPC together. Tiap2 hari memang menghadap muka budak business ja. X bercampur lgsg dgn bdk2 lain. But jmpa2 jugak bila jlan2 tu. 

Lepas balik drpd study. With Sarah.

with future doctors, Mirah and Fatin. Will miss you guys. Miss the midnight conversations we had almost every night in that "people-less room". haha. org lain study, kami tiga bersembang dlm bilik kosong. -_-
