kspk first day

my first day at kspk.
i woke up a minute before half past five. haven't woken up that early since november 2008. hahaha. okay maybe once or twice.
got myself ready and my brother drove me to the kelana jaya lrt station on his way to shah alam. i was in line by 7.04 am. there was a long queue behind me. when the lrt arrived. i decided to just stand by the door. it was good that i did that. the next few stops before kerinchi had loads of people coming in and thus if i had been sitting down, i'd had to bulldoze my way out. not good at all.
not many people came out at kerinchi. i arrived at the station at 7.20 am. i walked briskly, feeling good about finally exercising some. there was only one other person going my way and she was at the time way in front of me. but i caught up with her while waiting to cross. i crossed, she waited a bit more. turns out, she's a student at ipba. i saw her at the canteen.
i met up with ezrin at her car outside the hostel and we went our way up the stairs to ipba/eltc. as it was only 7.40, we had our breakfast at the canteen. i had a bowl of porridge and plain water. cost me rm1. hahaha
at 8 thereabouts we went up the lift to the first floor on the eltc side of the building. cik norisham was there to meet us for registration. there was intially 11. but 2 dropped out cos one in sabah, another sarawak. another sarawakian man will be coming tomorrow. at first there were only 4 of us. me, ezrin, liew and aini.
the registration was from 8 to 10. to we waited to 9.00 before the rest started coming in. there were 8 by that time. all ladies, all married and registered except me n ezrin. aini from pahang, liew from johor. the rest around selangor/kl and putrajaya.
after a brief briefing, we went to the hostel. an apartment was got ready for us. in it were 5 rooms. a to e. ezrin and i chose room c. it was a 2 person room. we basically hang out just the two of us. the youngest is liew. 3 of us born 1979- including edayu, kelantanese teaching in gombak setia.
oldest is around 1965. not sure who though. it's a toss up between selva (lives in nilai) and kak hana (putrajaya). the sarawakian coming tomorrow, david is around that age too. 40+
at 10.30 am we went back to the class for more briefing. then were let off for lunch at 12.00. ezrin and i went to marco's pizza pasta and vino at bangsar village. i had tummy ache and wind after that. linguini carbonara. gaaah. it tasted wonderful but i guess i couldn't take it. hahaha
went back to hostel for prayers and at 2 at the class. pn farah the head admin came and spoke a little from 2-3. then we went to the library on the same floor for a little tour and registration of the library with mr rowland.
i was excited to see jean floyd's picture and even a picture of a few of our b.ed mpik lecturers. raja azizah came to speak to the class for a bit before too.
oh almost forgot. at around 2pm, nearer to 3, we were joined by a new classmate chen from ipoh. she had previously tried to register but her letter said for her to go to ipba. so she went. they finished at 1.30. wow
tomorrow another lady will join too, nurlida from shah alam. i wondered if it's actually bam of b.ed. hahaha
so far, i kinda feel like the possibility of me and ezrin not being chummy with the others is quite big. there's a kind of barrier i feel between them and us. it's the older teachers actually who seems to be raising that barrier. we hope we would be able to ignore it though. i want to be cemerlang this time. so no politics thank you.
