Life in Arizona

Curious about my life in Arizona?

yeah it is a big different from Malaysia, of course

Arizona is a desert actually and the weather here during the summer is freaking hot

you will be dead without water

my school has been starting for a month

and I have been getting used to it

and I will not feel bored anymore

remember that when I just came here for the first couple weeks

and I kept complaining that my life was dull

and it was nothing to do in Arizona

since I kept playing and hanging out with friends when I was in Malaysia

that is why I felt so bored and alone

but now, school has started

and my life is getting busy and busier that I have not imagined before

I do have a lot of assignments, online homework, and online quizzes

and all those due every Sunday or Monday

the educational system here is quite different from Malaysia and Inti College

even though when I was studying in Inti College for American University Program

the educational system in Inti is slightly different from Arizona State University

we did not have so much assignments in Inti and all our marks more rely on the exams

like midterm and final exam

but in ASU the course work more rely on the assignments

and the professors told us that we need to study the chapters before the lecture class

or else you will not understand what he or she is talking about

and they will discuss the lecture directly and they assume that you know or read the text before the class

and it is like oh my gosh

since I already used to it, so it is fine for me now

and it became a good habit as well right

read before the class

Arizona State University is big and huge, and it cover a lot of areas

I know normally university in the United State is big

but this was my first time to step into a big university

compare to my school before, and it is so small

I lost in the middle way when the first time to visit my school

and I need to use map to find my classrooms for the first two weeks

Besides that, I could not find my car in the lot for few times

and it was so embarrassing and there was a white guy came to me

and he tried to help me

there was a day, my cousin Kevin saw me in the lot and

after home, he told me that he saw me when I was finding my car

and he said it was so funny and I was so silly

by the way he did not help me at all even though he saw me could not find my car

my classes are normally big and it has more than 300 students in a big hall

and it is not easy to make friends

we change seat every classes

after the class and they just walked away

that is why I miss Inti so so so much

after the class, a big gang will go have lunch together

it was sweet

Hannah is from South Korea

Tala is from Arabian country

Xiao Mi is from Taiwan

I will take photos with those American next time

see ya

I have a very packed schedule on Monday and Wednesday

I have only 1 class on Tuesday and Thursday

but my Tuesday class is at polytechnic campus which is so far from my house

and it takes 45 minutes to reach there

but luckily I have YeongHer there

so we can have lunch and dinner together

since my class at 6pm and I will reach home around 830pm

normally my classes are at tempe campus and it is quite near from my house

and it takes 20 minutes

like cheras to subang

Every Friday and Sunday, I will go church with my uncle and aunt

and I met some new friends there

I learnt Bible and I am starting to know more about God

and I know some of you might be surprised

time goes and things will be changed

Tiffany and I

You know what, the funniest thing is the people here do not believe that I am already 19 years old

yes I am

they thought that my age is around 12-15 years old

and I can get a kid price

Unbelievable

maybe I always hang out with my cousin Tiffany

but... there was a lady said to my cousin

'is that your little sister?'

Oh my gosh

can you believe that?

Oh yeah forgot to mention that

I am sick of burgers, sandwiches, spaghetti, pizza, and salad

so sometimes I do not have my lunch at school

and I just wait until I get back home and eat

I want normal meal please

I miss Malaysian food so badly

I know you guys should know my favorite food is curry fish head

I love spicy food and I want rice

I want chinese food, and my grandmom's cooks

I do not know how long I can survive with them

seriously I love to eat

but I did try the local dishes here which I never taste before

and thanks for my uncle, his cooks are delicious

you should try it one day

Kevin

Besides that, I want to thank Kevin, Josh, Aric, and Jason

keep correcting my pronunciation

even though you guys keep laughing at me and making fun of me

but I know you guys are really nice to me

and I know that it is for my own good

I really appreciated it

I have went to Fashion Square twice with YeongHer

we watched two movies so far, SALT and Resident Evil 3

the student pice is $7, consider as expensive compare to Malaysia

I can watch twice a week in Malaysia

the clothes here are not that cheap as I think

but it depends on the brands and where to buy

you still can buy clothes at the reasonable prices and affordable

So far, I am doing good here

and I can get along with my aunt's family

and they are taking good care of me

and I love them so much

even though they do not know

take care and hugssssss
