Lost

10 DAYS

That’s the precise amount of time left for me to mess around before departing to Penang for 1 whole year. I simply couldn’t picture myself living in a not-so-foreign land (I’ll still be in Malaysia) for such an extended period, and without any close companion. Imagine the hassle of forging new friendship (with a majority of Malays), living alone and having to do laundry myself. I’m a spoiled brat; seldom does household chores, let alone washing my own clothes (There’s a washing machine wert). One thing I can safely affirm without doubt is that matriculation will surely be much easier compared to Form 6, not to mention a shorter time span too. But, I’ll definitely miss my town’s famous Bah Kut Teh (certified non-halal) and the delicious coffee brew from Old Town Coffee shop. I’ve only been to Penang once in my entire life, later being my second time around, yet this whole experience is in some way portrayal of the mini-series Lost (only at the beginning of the series though). It’s a serial drama television series about a group of plane crash survivors living on a mysterious tropical island. Unfortunately, the entire storyline evolved into something overly complex and nonsensical to believe in. Bottom line, it kicked off with a blast, but ended up disastrous. Haha…Hopefully, I won’t end up like the series; start off brilliantly and end off splendidly, that’s more like it.

A few weeks have passed since I received the offer for matriculation, and my parents have bought me a lot of things to bring along. I’ll only highlight a few materials categorised under ‘necessities’, in which undoubtedly be my 60-day supply of 3-in-1 Nescafe (3 big packets) and a “dog-bone”-shaped pillow (costing around RM15). I actually don’t need the pillow, but since my brother has it, so would I. Ekekek…In the past, you can easily get one from Tesco but it’s only available at The Store Centrepoint for now.

P.S. Old Town’s White Coffee is priced at rm2.50 (including tax) for a cold, regular-size brew. Try it, you’ll love it!
