special holiday!

due to water shortage (actually there's not even a drop of it!) because of the repairing work of 3 burst main pipes which supply water to my college, KUKTEM and Gambang residential areas, we KMPh students and KUKTEM students were given special holidays...
last Wednesday, i was told that that'll be 4 days of water shortage in our college, that's from Thursday to Sunday. those who'd heard of this 'news' quickly filled up any container that they've with water! true enough, when i reached my hostel after 5pm, there's already no water on the third and second floors. all the residents, except the wardens who're living on the ground floor, had to use the wash rooms on the 1st floor. night turned worst as we'd to carry water with mineral water bottles or any containers we'd to the toilet and to wash up. imagine!
the next day (Thursday) turned worst as those who'd the habit of taking a shower in the morning had to get up as early as 4am to got to the multi-purpose building, where there's still some water in the water tanks, to shower! luckily, i don't have this habit because i just can't stand the chill early in the morning :P some boys even bathed in the lake beside their hostels! Urgh~ it's so disgusting!
at 9am, we're informed that we're allowed to go home without applying beforehand from Friday to Sunday due to the water shortage. however, i was informed that all the bus tickets to Johor on Friday had been sold out! at first, i thought of putting up in one of my collegemates place in Kuantan 'cause it's kinda rush to go home on Friday and come back to college on Sunday. then, a truck carrying water from JBA came, that meant the cafeterias will be operating since there's water available. dad called and asked me to stay in college if the cafes are operating 'cause it's not convenient to stay at friend's house.
however, at 1pm, we're informed again that we can leave the college after 5pm that day and return to college on next Tuesday! i immediately booked a bus ticket through a taxi driver and boarded the 11pm bus that very night. i reached home at 3am on Friday morning. huh~ it's so tiring...

i'll be going back to college tomorrow morning by bus, but i've not finished doing my assignments yet :P

i was sick on the previous week; i had flu, sorethroat and cough. thank God, i'm well now :)

watched the movie of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with Yong May and Kim Na. those who've read the book will certainly notice that some important parts of the story weren't included in the movie. since i read this book in Form 4, i don't quite remember some of the detailed parts but i can tell that some parts're missing... it's quite disappointing as the director seemed to lift a little bit of every part of the story and those who'venot read the book might not fully understand the whole story... since the director of the 4th sequence isn't going to direct the 5th one, i hope that the new director will do a better job.
