Ok, it’s fulsome to use the word “new” on Anderson; perhaps an “Ascensive Anderson” will be much more suitable. But anyway, I do feel like getting a whole new perspective on my life in Shah Alam, with a huge thing – well, for me, it is definitely a huge improvement in my college life – my tiny little vehicle, with 2 rolling wheels, eat up only a little space and only need 5 bucks of feeding stuff for a week. Yes, I’m riding my motor in this huge city (or countryside, whatever). And, I’m a Chinese. Plus, I’m from Ipoh.
I can’t help but wonder: does this city always look so innocent and convenient, or because I got my motor with me? I had always thought that I must be cursed for being sent to this city to further my studies, unlike all my other friends who study in Subang Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. For the last semester, I will always disappeared from my hostel during the weekends and gone to wherever I am able to go with public transport or with friends or relatives’ transport. I can’t bear with the environment here: there’s the same food van selling the same food everyday, no internet, no hot water bath, no efficiently washing machine, and I seems lost all my contact with the outer world: because I’m immobility.
Somehow, things are not the same anymore, with my motor with me. I’ve never feel so powerful, so in control of my own life, and so much of freedom before. It’s like I was released from an invisible prison, that I had been the prisoner in it for half an year, and I’m happy now. Seriously, the happiness is more than anything I can describe it with word. It’s like a forever thirster suddenly was throw into a pool of water – not to forget, the water is from the peak of Himalaya Mountain and will never dry out, or a alcoholic was suddenly realize he is inside of a liquor store – with all the alcohol that are can’t even be get in Bar Celona or Market Place as those are out of stock.
Hmm…only with these words , you can’t feel how relief I am. I think I’m going to give away a brief explanation of how I settle my daily needs during the last semester and compare it with how’s my life are in this semester, then only you can see the vast different of it.
Last semester:
Food: Get from the food van in my hostel. Need not to taste the food, I already can tell you how it is the taste, how many salts were put in it, for how long the food had been cooked…whatever you want to know about the food, ask me.
Laundry: Hand-wash everyday. Thanks to my clumsy hand and worse-than-worst’s washing skills, this task normally will take me 1 hour to done with 2 shirts, 1 pants, 1 pair of stocking, and 1 underwear, ONLY.
Transport: To get to college, I will – not like I have the right to chance to choose – take the college bus provided. Usually when my class ended at 4, I probably will only reach my room in my hostel at 5.30. Yes, what-the-hell-5.30. Not to forget, the journey from college to my hostel only took about 10 to 15 mins. I wonder what took them so long to take us back to hostel.
This semester:
Food: Hey, is there a new hawker centre in XXX, Subang Jaya??? Ok, I’ll have my dinner there today.
Laundry: Auntie, had my clothes dry? Haven’t? It’s okay, I’ll come to Klang tonight to take, is that alright?
Transport: Oh, is our class going to start at 2? Okay, I’ll sleep a while in my hostel now. Wake me up when 1.40.
However, there’s not like everything is good when a motor is with me. I do hate it sometimes, when it’s raining, or the sun is burning too violently. And because my plat number start with the alphabet A, the B and W seems to – or obviously they are – bully me on the road. There’s so many times, when I was driving happily on the road, enjoying the wind blow onto my face, illustrate some fantasies of what I can do…and there it was. The B and W will purposely and intently drive near to my poor little vehicle and trying to make me fall down or something. So what’s now? My plat number A is pissing you off, is it?
Not to forget, the biggest disadvantage of driving motor is: I can never set my hair before I step out of the door – because everything is coming to an end, when the unmerciful helmet is to envelop my head. Or I should be grateful of it, cause I will never need to waste my money on purchase those hair styling clay and hair spray, and I can even sleep for another, maybe 10 minutes, before I go to college. Hmm… not a bad idea, because I seems have restless mind and body whenever I’m inside the confine of college. This doesn’t really happen, when I was in my hometown, even I didn’t sleep for the entire night. I can still behave like a crazy person and open my eye wide for another 2 or 3 days. Anyway, that’s different story though.
Ok, I think that’s enough. I hope you can feel my excitement from my words: I LOVE MOTOR!!
