scroll down! the pics are huge! XD


from left: Block A (girls), Block B1 & Block B2 (guys).

from right: Block C (classes), Block D, and Block E. (girls' dorms)

as you can see from the two pics above, they're just taken from across each other. there's a huge field in between, and you can find guys playing football and rugby there every evenings.

this is close up on Block D and Block E. they're girls dorms and are more secluded (guys cant enter here, unless they're workers or something). it has 2 CFS cafes (which means cheaper food comparing outside cafes), 1 convenient shop, 1 cyber cafe, 1 photocopy shop, and 1 laundry which are all located in block E (the one on your left) ground floor. Each building has its own TV area, drying area and musolla.

there are 3 girls dorms blocks, and Block A's the furtherest (?) from classes. all girls' blocks have security guards and gates. the curfew is at 10 pm.

this is taken from in front of Block A (the girls block). As you can see, its further comparing to others. and usually girls use this road to go to class (which is just straight away, the one with "Centre for Foundation Studies yada yada yada.." written on it. ) while guys like to cross the field to reach the class. you cant see it in this picture, but there is a huge mosque on your right. if you'd look at the junction turning right, that's the road going to the mosque's entrance.


this is how most classrooms look like. some classes are bigger than others and only classes #13 on each floor, looked like a mini kuliah room. sorry about the ppl's pics, they're just my friends, rehearsing for our mock trial which happened last february. (hopefully the law society, MeLEX will do another one during your time so you can come and watch. =D )

and as you can see, the pic was taken during night time. so it is okay to use the classes at nights. for make up classes with lecturers, society meetings, group discussions, even to martial arts trainings.

and this is how it looks like every morning. neat and clean. and cold. =.= if you look properly, the building that you can see from the windows is Block D (the girls' block). All classrooms #1-10 are all facing the study rooms in block D. because of that, we'd just have our curtains closed all times. =]

this is the picture of the place between Block B1 and Block B2 (the guys' blocks). There are a lot of outside cafes here (including 2 chinese restaurants) 2 CFS cafes (dominated by guys), including a nursing college here too. there are 2 cyber cafes with photocopy services, another 1 photocopy shop, 2 convenient shops, an ATM machine, Pos service, 1 laundry shop + its own convenience shop. i think that's all. i cant remember well. haha.

but this area is where a lot of students love to lepak. sometimes we just like to eat at the outside cafes (even though expensive) because it's where we can lepak, eat, or sometimes have discussions/meetings with guys.


this is the library. it's located in Block A. it has 3 floors (if you're counting the ground floor). The first floor has books on most courses subjects. 2nd floor has mostly law books and a photocopy shop and 3rd floor has audio/video rooms and discussion rooms too. if you look carefully in the first pic, you can find where the library is located in block A.


sorry again, these are my friends. taken last sem when we came to library every night to study for our finals. supposedly, for me. this is the 2nd floor. and well, you can see the shelves of books and have a basic idea how it looks lik in the inside.

okay, so we'll get into the rooms now. i was lucky enough to be able to stay in all 3 blocks. D, E and A. They are slight difference from Blocks D, E compare to Block A, but i didnt have the chance to take the pics since we've moved out and construction is going on now. so i can only show you the pics in Block A. The rooms are basically the same, so no worries.


this is the hallway to the room. my room is A-2-4. they are putting shoe racks now, so you'll have them. the door on the left is the study room, and on the right is the well, the room. yes, the shoes are messy, haha, we couldn't help it. =.=

this is my room. =] yes it looks like a dorm in a school, but it's much more better than back in school. oh, the tikar getah and the carpets are not provided, you have to bring them yourselves. it depends on your roommates, if you want to chip in together and buy one or something. if you dont even want to use tikar it's fine. the floor itself is clean after a mop or two. now it's not as bad as it was when we first came here, so don't worry.



embarrassingly to admit, but this is my bed. the low bunk with the single lines bedsheets. and those are my iron clothes which i hanged from the bed railings. it's up to you how you want to do it. you can bring your own clothes rack, but i wouldnt advise it since it will always fall in the end. most of us just end up doing like this. besides, it can also be used as 'curtain' to block out the lights during night time when going to sleep. =]



okay, this isnt my locker, (mine is forever messy), but this is how the locker looks like. 1 person gets one compartment, like you see here. and like i told you, you can hang clothes in your locker but you have to fold them so it'd look neat.

and this is the bathroom. there is 3 shower cubicles and 2 toilets. yes it doesnt look very pleasing, but it's still in good condition and working. there was always toilet and plumbings problems when we first arrive here, but now they are all fixed. so you dont have to worry about water leaking or flooding into the room.

and lastly, this is the study room. also can be used as personal drying area, as you can see. =]

so these are the pictures i promised you and hopefully you'll be satisfied once you've seen this. it might not be very pleasing to you, trust me, i hated to be moved here in the beginning, but you'll begin to love it here.
and it might not be as perfect as PJ, might not have all the facilities and everything, but we try to improvise ourselves. (like turning chairs into a drying 'rack'.)

do well for your english placement test (and arabic too, if you do have basic) because it'll be the one that tells you how long you have to stay in nilai. (but seeing your blog, and your english, i think you'd probably finish after 2 or 3 sems =] ) and look forward to the scholarships! i hear they've been raised slightly compared to before. hehe.

i hope you'll feel better seeing these pictures and hope you'll have a great time here. i know i did. have fun, study hard and hope to see you once you enter gombak. =] (and the place is so much different than here, i can assure you that.)

good luck to you!
