I1C62a

is the number of my hostel room. It's a six bedded flat, 3 rooms, 2 person per room.


Checked out of the hostel today at 12pm(right after my last exam at 11.30am, horrible, terrible, vegetable i tell you...). Packed my stuffs, took one last glance, handed the keys to the cleaner/person-in-charge, loaded my stuffs on dad's car and off we go!

Never really missed this place, although it has some good and bad... mostly bad...

The Good

• Very near the sports complex. Just have to look out my bedroom window or balcony and i would know who is there to play basketball with.
  

• The balcony. Get to hang my clothes there without worrying anybody stealing them. Get to sit there and enjoy the wind at night, best place to read a book at night.
  

• Nearest hall to the Student Association building(which is where i get my food!) and the rest of the other buildings. There are a total of 5 halls : Tioman, the one i was staying in; Langkawi, Redang, Pangkor, and Kapas. As if by giving these halls such beautiful names would give you an impression that you would be staying at such lovely and peaceful islands, in your dreams!

• No mosquito due to the higher altitude(forgotten to mention that i was staying at the second floor).
  

The Bad

• The cleaners always do a bad job. We would need to make appointment for them to come clean the room. Looking at the logbook, they state that they require half an hour to clean up a room. But most of the time, they would spend less than 10 minutes to clean our 6 bedded flat, not room. Usually it will be this 3 cleaners, 1 plump indian lady, 1 malay lady and another indian lady. They would always put on a sour face and quickly get over with the cleaning, making no difference whether they cleaned the flat or not. In fact, it smelt worse after they moped the floor, smelt like wet dog. Paying so much money to stay there and yet i get this kind of service. I swear i can do a better job than them if you pay me.

During midday, they would lepak around the halls, sometimes even spotting them lying on the floor

• The fact that most of my flatmates are always not around, they would not bother keeping the place clean, they never once swept the floor! Besides that, every night before going to bed, i would switch off the lights. Next morning, the lights in the hall and the toilet was on. They must have left it on throughout the whole morning. Talking about the toilet, imagine whenever i would want to "bake-a-cake", i would be really PISSED! Also, one of them would always leave their laundries around the toilet.
  

Can't really see the DRIED urine stains on the seat.

"Hey there~ How's it hanging?"
"Nothing, been here for almost a week already~"

• Insects, all types of 6 to 8 legged creatures,arthropods, you name it. Especially the ants(dedicated a post to them)...

okay fine, this is a dead bird

• The mattress, i heard they never changed it before. Resulting in me having scars and bite marks all over the body, thanks to the bedmites/bedbugs or whatever insect that bit me.

Semut Man

The halls are managed by two different companies, one is PC and the other is PK. The company managing the Tioman, Langkawi and Redang halls are the pioneers.

Imagine having to pay your rent, you had to queue up, but the hallway is only this long, yet there are only 2 chairs to sit on, YET there is no fan and it's freaking hot, YET they take their own sweet time to collect the rent while enjoying themselves in their cool air-conditioned and comfy office.

I have been to the other two halls managed by the other company only last week. So much better, even their kitchen smells better than my room. So clean and neat, trash bins lining every hallway.

The fridge at Kapas hall

The fridge at Tioman hall

I once kept my apples in the fridge, next day i noticed a few missing. I wrote a note telling them to stop stealing my apples. Next day, everything was gone.

Grateful to have an awesome roommate, CK.
Grateful to have a place to stay.
Grateful to have such convenience.
Grateful i do not have to stay there anymore...
