LSPM: Rant on Kellie's Castle, Batu Gajah, Perak

Assalamualaikum.

p/s: My older Sister, Farah laughed when I said Batu Gajah. She thought I was mencarut as she never heard and never know that there's place in the Earth called Batu Gajah.

On 7th February which is a week ago, my family consist of my parents, little sister, Granny and I went to Ipoh Perak for my EduCamp at UTP and we paid a visit to my Mum's eldest Sister who is currently living in Ipoh Perak. It was a short trip where we only spent two days there including traveling hours. Can you believe how short the trip was as traveling from Kuantan to Tronoh is about 7 hours?

Well, as the trip is not for holiday, suddenly my sister kept talking about Kelly Kelly and I wasn't heard before - what the hell is that?
And again, suddenly when my parents done fetching me at UTP after the educamp was done, she started her stomachache. I wasn't wether it was seriously period pain or "something". And when we arrived at Mak Long's house for lunch, she still, with her stomachache. But then, she can still eat couple number of fried chicken. Haha. So, seeing that my sister was ill, Dad decided to go to Kellie's Castle that is located in Batu Gajah; where we took an exit from Taman Sri Desa to the Highway, and further driving until we reached Batu Gajah.

When we was there, it was about 3 o'clock. Can you imagine how hot was that moment? Well, Batu Gajah is Perak, further far away from East Penisular (Pahang and Terengganu is having a cold temperature and currently windy )

We went there and go to the ticket counter.

We started to walk around the castle, it is huge and, well, fantastic. My enthusiasm to explore the castle increased 85% from 60%(because of the weather and tiredness after the educamp. Testing your brain is seem to make you tired morecompare to physically tested. Trust me. I'm an engineer).
 And of course, we were free to take pictures. So we took atleast thousands of pictures to be saved as memories. Momentos.

The castle is know as hunted Castle and 'hunted' made this castle to be more popular. And there is load and lots of sort of information that are informative about Kellie's family, assets, his remaining in London, his wealthiness, what happened when he died, about Buddhist, his religion, Catholic, wife, rooms and etc.You will find out that this 3-4 floor castle is spectacular, especially regarding it' rooms, and some sort of hidden rooms for his children and etc. And of course, about the history in Tanah Melayu. They owned about THREE THOUSAND hectars of land, y'know...
Then,
Let's scroll down and move on with the pictures...!

This castle have stairs that directly from third-floor-master-bedroom to outside of the house? Yeah. Amazing.

I'm a person who will seek every possibility of doing things alone. Not that I hate my friends or, ego or, arrogant or, thought that I can do everything alone. No no no. It's just like, I've through almost 10 years(years where most of the things needs my very own decision to do) and, my thought always differs with others. I hate waiting and make people waiting. And you know, when you're with a gang, and when we say 'gang it means more than three. So, the duration of waiting if there is any particular activities will lengthen. Am I right? Sometimes, during the recess, I walked fast. Rather eating alone than waiting my friends come down from classes(I'm prefect, remember?). I had to write reports. Had to patrol the school(sometimes). And of course, Disturbing my teachers with bombards questions especially to Puan Fadhilah (Sorry teacher, but I love youuu :*) And duration of recessing for a prefect is 35 minutes. I dont dare to wait any more time just to wait.

I often made decision carefree. Sometimes the decision is stupid, ridiculous and when I turned back, and think for a second time, I got yelled by myself. Got yelled due to thinking without maturity. People tends to think that my decision is a wise decision. And often follows my decision. And when everything turned into worse, I hate it. I'll just like putting my friends into circumstances that the person will get regretted for his/her lifetime. I hate this. That's why I rather doing things alone@by myself.

However, when I looked back at my history of life during my secondary school, I felt like, Oh my God, Allah granted me with so many wonderful friends that I wish these friendship will lasts forever. Not only will end up when we left SMK TA. Especially my classmates that supports me. Sometimes we had a small fight(urgh??), misunderstanding, sometimes Chinese girl call my friend prostitute(it's not true!) and we always (not me actually) calling our classmates with bad names, but then, it's never matters anymore. Because we know that, when SPM is done, we'll gonna miss each other.

LSPM: Educamp UTP

Assalamualaikum.

Aku baru balik dari Perak. And, since aku masih lagi belum mengupdate Blog ni hampir sebulan, dan masih belum ada entry bagi bulan Februari, so, this is it.

EduCamp UTP

Aku mohon Asasi Kejuruteraan di UTP. Tarikh tutup dia 22 Januari yang lepas. Aku tahu pun pasal one of my bestfriend, Hazirah told me about that. Then, aku rasa cam shah, kau takde apa nak buat ni.  Apply pakai result trial. Maka... 

Sha, jom mohon.

Maka aku mulalah on printer aku ni, dan photostat segala benda yang diperlukan macam sijil-sijil, surat-beranak and so on. Yang paling penting, result trial examinations aku. Ayah aku dah naik bosan kot tengok kertas-kertas yang nak disahkan. Aku pun dah naik serabut. Mula-mula UPM, then YPM, lepastu UTP. 

Yang UPM tu, bapak ah gila berat segala benda yang diphotostat dan aku siap Pos Laju tau dak. Actually aku ada satu firasat yang dokumen aku tu tak sampai. Pasal ayah aku yang pos, dan ayah aku pos tu memang dah hari ke-3 kalau aku tak silap, sebelum tarikh tutup permohonan. Dahlah masa tu aku bukan main serabutnya dengan SPM. Sekali takda bunyi langsung dari UPM and end up dengan kakak hantar What’s app.

Shah, tak dapat fast track ke? Budak fast track asasi sains pertanian January intake dah masuk.

Aku rasa macam. Grr. Macam kucing yang tengah marah, bulu mengembang. Beberapa saat sebelum kuku keluar.

Ok, back to the story. 31 haribulan Januari, result keluar. Aku dipanggil untuk ke interview tu. Aku macam.

Mak Long, I’m coming!!

So i practiced, practiced for the interview in case of dia tanya,

You have 10 minutes to tell me about yourself. Maka, aku pun berulang-ulang kalilah menghadap cermin masa malam Jumaat tu, sambil imagine, panel is right in front of me.

Sampaikan bila aku stop untuk balas chat kawan aku, adik tegur

Hoi, dah habis interview?

Kakak kat belakang pulak menyampuk.

Dapat ke tak?

Sarkastik. Aku tahu.

Next day, pagi Sabtu, maka bertolaklah aku dari Kuantan bersama omma, daddy adik and tok. Tok tu pasal nak pergi Ipoh, rumah menantu and cucunya. Siap bawa keropok dan buat ketupat laginya. Sempat tuh,cari daun ketupat last minute.

We arrived Ipoh, nearly Mak Long's house around 2 o’clock but then we lost. So Mak Long’s husband came and fetch us at Vet something.

Petang tu we head to Tronoh, I saw the UTP and oh my Allah. It is sooo grand. For the first time, I fell in love to this lovely university. Note, ya, University. It is so modern and huge. I was lost in my own pace, dreaming me, swimming in the lake. What a stupid. Lake? Haha.

Then the next day, about 7 a.m. , my family and I keluar bilik hotel, dalam lif pun jumpa lagi mat-mat berkemeja dengan tie bagai.

Chancellor Hall

Then, bila sampai sana, yes, nganga lagi. Serious, ya, this is private university, Sha, no wonder.

Done parking the car, we walked to the Chancellor Hall. The grand hall that i used to see at the other people’s blogs.

Masuk tu. MAK AIH. ITS ONLY ABOUT 7:10 AM DAN LINE DIA BAPAK PANJANG. I moved  and placed myself at the tail of the line say some hi to the girl in front of me and end up we, become friends. Hehe. Meet my new friend, Norhamieza, from SMK Cheras, KL. A cute girl. Then, kitorang dapat sama group because grouping was based on giliran amsing masing. She was with me all the time in the hall, until we said goodbyes and promised to meet again one day. Tapi ni tak hantar lagi what’s app kat dia. Nak minta nama FB. 

Then, by grouping, we entered  a lab, did some test by using the computer right in front of us. 30 minutes for part 1 test, 100 questions, mostly like to know our personalities, and 90 minutes for part 2 test, 40 questions; testing about critical thinking.Done with that, we have a short interview one-by one kat seats kitorang. Individual. Basically, the panel came to our seats and asked us some simple questions tapi aku rasa i gave a stupid answer like,

What that you want to be?

An engineer.

Walau weh. UTP is school of engineering, Sha.

Tapi soalan dia sangat simple. Just nak tengok kau confident ke tak camtu, je.

Pastu, done. nak keluar...

Then I have a walk around outside the lab... Sebenarnya kau sesat, kan Sha. Pening kepala aku dari mana aku masuk tadi. Mana jalan nak keluar. Nak je aku panggil abang fasi....kakak fasi... yang lalu situ. Ramai yang dah kosong. Then terjumpa Norhamiezan again! Oh lucky me. Dia pun nampak lega tengok aku, sah sesat jugak.

Norhamieza and me. Belakang tu library.

We headed to information counter and suddenly a mum of the participant of EduCamp halted us. She asked about a person named Siti Humaira, and rant about her daughter is still in there, her niece got into this college last year, older about a year with her son, her the other niece is the teacher here, about third year, if a person performed well, they will be send to overseas universities just like twinning program lah. She talked, and asked me thousands of questions before she said something that made we felt Alhamdulillah Ahamdulillah. Heaven...

“Takpelah ye, mak cik pergi dulu.”

We walked for few metres before looked at each other and burst into a laugh. So suddenly a stranger came by and talked about some of private stuffs haha.

Masa depat Chancellor hall tu. Aku pusing belakang, menghadap Chancellor Hall.  Bye UTP. Ada rezeki mai lagi.

Masa balik tu, terserempak dengan family tu, ni, yang datang untuk sesi petang. Ada sorang mak cik tu tanya bermacam jenis soalan sementara si anak jantannya memakai tali leher tepi kereta. Aku macam oh my... Can I keluarkan niqab dalam beg aku ni supaya takda orang berhenti and bercakap dengan aku? Aku Cuma nak tunggu mak dan ayah...

So, that's it.
