Hi there!
It's been awhile since you last heard from me (unless if you followed me on twitter/ig). It has been a pretty hectic semester so far; we finished our first design project on Monday which I think I did pretty decent for, also finally dah lepak in the new PTAR library in our faculty (in fact we were there for an entire day looking for references for our 2nd project), and I've been playing frisbee and badminton during the evening with my friends, not as often as I did during the beginning of the semester tho, ever since I got my knee busted by sliding on the futsal court while playing frisbee last week.
So over here in Palam, things are so different compared to our life back in Shah Alam. The rules are much stricter, we're not allowed to stay in our studios any later than 6pm, we have to be back in our apartment by 11pm, absolutely no students' cars are allowed here; sometimes it feels as if we're living the life of students of a boarding school. Not exactly sure the reasons behind the constrictions, but rumours say that UiTM is trying to minimise electricity usage since they don't actually own this place (I don't know how true this is). Anyway, putting the cons of living here aside, I personally think this place is pretty rad. I mean, we have 3 futsal courts, one football field, 2 tennis courts, a lake where we can run around all too ourselves (the FSSR & FSPU students). Did I mention that our dormitory is in fact an apartment? 4 rooms per house, and 2 beds per room, making it 8 students living in one apartment with a decent dining table, and pretty decent toilets as well. Being one of the earliest batches to move in here, the buildings and the facilities are still in their best condition. We even have 2 different cafes, a library, oh and let me remind you how the faculties are located right next door to our apartments. Sure, we're not allowed to do many things here, and it sucks that we're not able to use the facilities at night, but I think if we were able to do so, things would be pretty much perfect here. Its a shame that we probably won't have the chance to stay here again next semester though.
I found myself spending quite a huge amount of my time complaining about the flaws of staying here, but I wish I had been more grateful. I'll try to post some pictures of this place soon, but for now this post shall be imageless.
See you again soon!
