Assalamualaikum w.b.t.


It's been awhile since I have done unboxing, right? Actually this album arrived home when I was in Indonesia, and yes my mother was the one fetching it from abang PosLaju hahaha. Talk about ~awkward~

Luckily my mom does not mind that much haha.


Back when DAY6 did Shoot Me comeback, I contacted sis Allia via DAY6Malaysia to pre-order this album. It is my first time contacting her though, and she is very cool and nice. I ordered the unsealed one, hahaha I don't know why, I am not that picky in getting whoever photocards, but well, I just did it. Alang-alang, select bias terus la. And I did not regret it muhahhahaha, I get two of my bias once again ><


Big thanks to sis Allia for her hardwork! And sorry it takes a lot of time to reveal this unboxing hahaha me being the laziest bum ever.


So, let's get into it.


Album Sampler / Tracklist:



Okay, what I gotta say about their song is... it is quite different than the one that they used to produce before. If the titles in Moonrise album are mostly like, soft rock, in this album, they go to the real rock, hahaha I don't know how to explain, I don't have enough musical knowledge yet (I'm still learning tho!) It's the kind of vibe you can get from "I Wait" and "How Can I Say".


And they still hold the reputation of having no bad songs at all in their album. Well done, DAY6. Well done (claps claps)


Out of all the great songs which are steadily climbing my favourite lists, the songs that I immediately fall in love from the first time hearing it is Talking To and Somehow.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Like I promised, I would like to share my experience going abroad for a month. This entry will be a little bit boring because I just don't know how to spice things up.


Jika ada anak-anak UNSRI terbaca ini, maafin aku ya karna jarang sekali ngobrol sama kalian. Aku ini pemalu sejak lahir wkwkwk


Here is part 1, mainly about preparation pergi ke sana.


Arrival;

Sampai-sampai sana, ada LO (Liaison Officer aka faci kalau di Malaysia) yang jemput kami. Ada jugak Pak Ihsan, dia yang in-charge dalam uruskan transfer student.


LO(s) kat sana memang friendly. They don't hesitate to strike up a conversation with us first walaupun kami ni berbeza negara gitu. I admire their efforts of making us feel comfortable there.




Wisma;

Kami tinggal di wisma selama satu bulan duduk kat sana. Wisma tu macam rumah penginapan, lokasi dia dekat luar universiti, and kami agak bertuah sikit la sebab tempat tinggal kami tu agak selesa. Satu bilik dua orang, macam kat KPZ, tapi yang bestnya setiap bilik kami ada air-cond dengan TV. Oh, bilik air pun dalam bilik. So, no issues regarding self-privacy. Memang terbaik lah 👍👍👍





Transportation and campuses;

Our main transportation is bus. Bas yang memang fakulti dah sediakan. Kalau dari wisma ke fakulti, adalah dalam 5-10 minit naik bas (aku tak reti measure masa hikhok) tapi nak tunjuk la jarak tu tak sejauh mana.




UNSRI ada dua kampus, satu dekat Inderalaya, satu dekat Palembang (which we were attending). The main campus is the Inderalaya campus, so kalau ada certain hari kami kena pergi Inderalaya, macam bila ada kelas dekat sana and bila ada acara formal macam opening ceremony dan closing ceremony, kami kena pergi ke Inderalaya. So, nak bagi senang paham;

Kelas biasa dekat kampus Palembang >> 5-10 minit naik bas

Kelas atau acara rasmi di Inderalaya >> 2 jam naik bas


So nak tunjuk la jarak antara kampus Palembang dengan kampus Inderalaya tu jauh. Macam UKM kampus Bangi dengan UKM kampus KL gitu. Kami ni macam attending kampus KL, bila ada acara penting baru datang kampus Bangi. Ada paham?


Classes;

So far okay la, kelas tak packed pun. Pagi-pagi macam biasa, bangun, naik bas, pergi kelas. Pukul 11 sampai 1 tu break, waktu break tu free la nak pergi makan ke solat ke. Beza waktu ID dengan MY is 1 jam, contoh macam kalau kita pukul 2 diorang baru pukul 1. Kelas betul-betul habis pukul 3 or 3.30. Awalnyeeee.


Dulu ada jadual kelas dalam gallery phone tapi dah terdelete. Maap ye tak dapat tunjuk.


Classmates pun alhamdulillah okay. Ada borak-borak dengan sorang classmate ni, dia memang peminat Upin & Ipin. Upin & Ipin ni memang famous sesangat dekat sana, so asal nampak orang Malaysia ja automatically diorang ingat Upin Ipin lol.


Hah pasal subjek. Rasanya dah tulis dalam part 1. Tapi kalau nak minta pencerahan lagi, boleh tanya secara personal. Eh bajet lecturer gitu.


Oh lupa. Final exam kami presentation. Tak ada exam bertulis.




Jalan-jalan;

Hari-hari yang tak ada kelas ialah Jumaat, Sabtu dengan Ahad, so itu memang free time untuk kami lah. Memandangkan Palembang ni ala-ala Melaka, so tourist attraction dia banyak la yang berkaitan dengan sejarah. So lawatan sejarah (under fakulti) tu banyak la.


Bila tak ada aktiviti under fakulti, kami samada pergi mall atau lepak di BKB atau Jembatan Ampera. Mall dekat sana pun macam dekat Malaysia, besar cantik, so jangan sesat ya.


Siap ada roller coaster hahahaha. Image credit to Muhtasim.


Jembatan Ampera ni macam trademark Palembang. Kan kalau siapa-siapa mention Melaka, mesti benda first yang kita fikir A Famosa. Kalau siapa-siapa mention Teluk Intan, mesti benda first yang kita fikir Menara Condong. Sama la Palembang, bila siapa-siapa mention Palembang, benda first yang kita kena fikir ialah Jembatan Ampera. Kenapa Jembatan Ampera? Sebab dia ada nilai sejarah.


glowing dia waktu malam.




Banyak je lagi gambar tapi mostly aku dah share dekat ig.


Student-student UTM join kami after 2 weeks. Diorang dari Pagar Alam. So, kami dari 13 orang dah jadi 26 orang.



Benda yang aku tak boleh lupa dekat sana ialah bila aku sakit. Aku tak tahulah samada ini yang dinamakan 'travel sickness', rasa tak sedap badan dalam proses nak sesuaikan diri dengan environment tempat baru, atau negara lain. Senior-senior tahun lepas pun cakap memang benda normal kalau sakit/demam/muntah kalau datang tempat baru sebab our body is not used to it.


Jadi jangan lupa bawak ubat eh. Sebab most of us sakit, tak semua, yang mana yang tak sakit tu memang dikira lucky la. Itulah asam garam bila keluar ke tempat baru. Dekat negara mana-mana pun sama, kalau tak biasa boleh je jatuh sakit. Aku pun tak expect langsung boleh jatuh sakit, tapi kan sakit tak mengira siapa. Alhamdulillah aku cepat baik.
