It was morning that day, we we're told to arrive at the bus at 6am sharp, but the crappy thing is that the visit was supposed to be at 9am, but we had to go early to avoid traffic jam, so i wake up exactly at 5am, so much for waking up, i snooze it and wake up 10 minutes later.. soso, it was freezing, can't say like hell cause hell is actually hot, but it's a new level of cold, and the weird part is that it's from a fan, i don't even get that cold with my air conditioning in my room, so yeah, that's just how weird it is, if it was a normal fan, the speed of the fan would probably be 7-9, seriously, i don't know where they bought the fan, i'm seriously gonna buy it and put it in my room, but i don't think it's the fan alone that's making the room and people so cold, but it's because it's the opposite to the jungle, yeah, it's really close that they say you could literally put your arm out and grab a branch, but i didn't tried that for obvious reasons..
Shortly after waking, i went to take my bath, tried to wake up my friend, but he seems to enjoy his sleeping.. so i went on anyway, isn't it enough that it's already cold, cold plus water makes it more colder.., shortly after finishing taking a bath, i went to my room and the fan was still in full blast, and i was shaking, my teeth were shivering, i haven't shiver for a while, the last time i shiver i remember i was still a kid, taking a bath.., that was a long time ago, but another time was when i was sick and it was really cold, but you don't really wanna remember the times when you were sick?, sick moments are just hard to remember..
So i was shivering, then my friend wake up to take his bath.. shortly after we all went to the bus, we were actually the last to arrive, by we i meant the whole boys from the trip, the girls were surprisingly fast.. so i thought to myself, damn! we're doom to sit in the hot place, cause of the whole air conditioning dilemma, but still surprising, we didn't.., i ended up sitting exactly where i sat the day before, but the girls that sit opposite to us did change their sit however, must have been hot..
Even though we moved early, we still caught in the traffic jam, tragic..
i didn't remember how long it take from PoliKu to arrive at Unimas cause most of the time i was sleeping, who wouldn't? wouldn't you wanna rest more after taking a 12 hour journey straight??, yeah it's tiring but as my dad say, it would be a waste if you go somewhere far only to sleep, he used to say that whenever i was tired from a trip, he just wanna make the most of our time in that place, cause we don't go there usually, for instance Kuala Lumpur, i can't help it but i'm not as young as i thought i was, when i was a kid, i walked my ass off in that place, of course it was my first time, so who wouldn't explore a new city??, yeah but i got blister for the first day cause i was wearing slippers, but on the second day however, i did great, al though my feet were sore, i still walk, cause i wore my shoe from Bata..
Yeah skipping to Unimas, we arrive there, but before that, we stopped at the side of the road where i woke up.. it was a golf course on the side of our left, so i look at the green scenery, but the golf course was strange, just on the other side was a housing, so it was strange for them to build a golf course near a housing area..
So there was this two guys playing golf, they used a caddy.. nothing much bout the guys who played golf..
Unimas
First time i glare my eyes upon the campus, i thought to myself, wow! this place is really old, look at the colors, it's faded.. we stopped at the parking lot, there were cars, but not a lot, and there were students i guess, their clothing is cool, it's casual, wearing round neck t-shirt and jeans, i think i might just apply there..
It's nothing to compare to our campus, our campus sucks.. Only cause when i was a kid, i thought that if i entered college, i don't have to wear a uniform anymore, i really hated my uniform, it was green and odd, so i went to college, and found out that you'd still have to wear formal clothes, it's not a uniform, but it feels a little bit like that, so my hopes were crushed.. i still have to wear a uniform..
Anyway the faculty, we only visited one faculty which is the IT faculty, or as they call it FSCIT, something like that, it stand for Faculty of Science and Information Technology, probably,i'm not so sure bout that..
the place were rather odd, instead of looking like a place for studying, it kinda look like a mall, seriously, you would mistaken it for a mall if it wasn't for the books, there were lots of book in that place, much more than our campus could ever got..
So we went to the conference room for us to have a little briefing, it looks exactly like the cinema, only smaller, it's really amazing, and it's cold..
So there were a briefing bout the courses that Unimas offered, for IT students, this is what i remembered... There Multimedia Computing, Networking System, Information System, Software Engineering, and the last one is about mathematical, not sure what it's called though..
After the briefing, we had breakfast, after that, we visited the chamber.., kinda look like a chamber, a high tech chamber.. Actually it's a place where they kept all the server of Unimas, as they say, without the server, they are nothing.. Actually that's not what they say.. they say if they got hack somehow, and they're database were gone, they're nothing..
The Server room was actually friggin cold, there are these big box of blue which is the air conditioning compressor i guess, it's really cold, but i was cautious about the floor, it feels like it's trembling, so there lots of black chambered Server.. kinda looks like lots of computer connected by an ethernet cable.. but if you look the other way, it's a whole new different.. still strange...
Then we entered the console room, the console room is actually a room where the Networking Engineer operate and observe what is happening every single minute in the server and the activity of the students of Unimas, like what site they're going... at that time, facebook was actually on top, and there lots of other website on the list.. He showed us the line, the line is kinda like the life line, where it beeps every heart beat, but it's not the same as this, this one doesn't beep however, but he showed us that it stays on top cause the student used it a lot during the day, but if night arrives, it will go down, strange, i thought it would rise more, cause the students are free...
Interesting fact.. Unimas is the biggest consumer of internet from TM with 155MBPS, it's the fastest line in borneo..
Fact.. there are 8770 students in Unimas, that's 8x more than ours.. holy crap..
Yeah, then the day ended with us taking a picture of the whole students.. Shortly after, we went to a designated place which was called The Springs, it is Kuching current biggest shopping mall.. next post..
