the most adult moment of my life- i rented a room

hello gorgeous people!! it's finally friday and i feel like its been such a long week. this weekend will be a fun one though. our family has got really exciting news... we're expanding our family!! yup, that's right y'all's!! tmr at 2pm, we'll be going to collect OUR BRAND NEW CARRR!! we're all super excited for this and we're really very blessed. i could go on about it but i think ill have have a special post for it tmr and i can upload some pictures too once we get it.
this week has been eventful and when i say 'this week' i actually just want to focus on my yesterday and today. yesterday was the day that i rented a room for the first time in my life. ive gone through five semesters of university so far and ive been so blessed that until now ive never had to worry about rent, bills, meals and taking care of myself in general. i guess an adult moment like this is bound to happen to everyone at one point of their lives but i never saw it coming for me. there are so many things to be excited about like i dont have to do chores for a whole house anymore or i dont have to do my own laundry anymore cause i have a laundromat service. and the whole usual first-time-experience ecstasy! there are also parts that scare me greatly and i think about such things a lot that they keep me up on some nights. i have to live with other students, what if theyre not friendly?what if this new house has many bugs? and i have to decide on my own meals now what if dont know what to buy or what to make. what if my allowance runs out too fast? i need to learn to plan my spending now and i have never ever done that. i've studied a unit in accounting and another in finance but will i use that theory in real life now?
Anyways back to me getting a room. the decision to move in May was super rushed. it's only two months away and i know most new students and current students looking to move have already started booking rooms way ahead for the coming new semester. i was a bit behind so i didnt have much time on doing a through research on accommodations and synthesizing all that information to make a well judged decision. throughout it all my friends have been a good help in giving me advice. would i rather be under a management or  a private owner? house or condo? cycling distance or driving distance? if i choose management which management would give me a better service, KT or Danish? front row houses or the old back part ones? what happens when i leave on my internship?
in the flurry of the moment all that was clear was i needed a room in a house, under a management and in the front row, with the lake view and with a bigger parking area. also i wanted a room on the ground floor cause my lazy ass doesnt like stairs so much and plus what if i need to carry heavy junk?
i ended up with quite the nice room actually. its near to a bustop and checks all the boxes. of course because of the rush to book a room so i wouldnt end up without one, we're slowly realizing all the cracks in our plan. a room in the ground floor at the front would mean less privacy for me cause theres a big big window facing the porch. and it'll be the noisiest one too. ground floor is also the target rooms for any burglaries. but i dont think i'll worry about such things for now. i really need to get focus on my school work and the upcoming exams in 3 weeks. once im done with that im sure everything else will fall into place.
im not going to worry too much.  Philippians 4:6-7 says, 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
sleep tight everyone. goodnight

MY FIRST RENT RECEIPT

ebike in utar-kampar

hello everyone!! it is an hour before dinner and the weather is relentless!! i have been steaming in my room since last night so i welcome this sudden change of weather! hi rain! just decided to drop by?! thing is, when i rode my ebike around this morning i felt a light drizzle but ignored it and it went away. im not to be frightened by itty bitty rain! stray dogs? yes. there were so many of them this morning and because the front gate was left open, a mottled one came in and hung out by the porch. i rode an extra round around the neighbourhood, giving it time to leave before i needed to go in.
i rode around yesterday too. but i had a major fall and went home really sad. then i got over it.
wait, do you guys know what an ebike is? its a bicycle that has a rechargeable battery built into it. like a hybrid motorcycle i guess. you dont need a license to ride one and it's pretty fast. the great thing about it is you can go fast without pedaling. it's actually pretty heavy although mine is supposedly the lightest model. you can find ebikes everywhere in kampar. i bought mine last week at a bike shop next to a place i get my vegan meal fix. it was pretty expensive so thanks dad!!
here's how it looks like:

i added a name plate. my friend got it for me when she traveled. i think it's cute

the battery! and always remember to wear a helmet guys!! safety first! you can also have a +1

i was considering skateboarding to class but then a nice board costs a third of the price of my ebike and is twice as dangerous so i settled for an ebike. no regrets though! course i could cycle but i wouldnt want to get to class all sweaty. there's a time for being sweaty and that's gym time not getting to class time. i would like to meet you if you are soon to be a utarian like your's truly. 

oh yes, here is the tale of how i fell yesterday. i was testing out how my ebike would fare on the bike lane- it's narrow and rough. i didnt expect there to be such a steep slope and having never rode the bike over a slope before, i couldnt power the bike enough to get me up the slope. i decided to get down and push. i grabbed the handles and started pushing. how the ebike works is the 'engine' starts when you turn the handle. pretty neat isnt it? as i was pushing with by the handle, i accidentally turned the handle and it started to jerk forward really fast, i lost balance and fell and the bike fell too. youre actually supposed to turn off the bike when youre pushing it. it was really heavy.

i am so excited about my bike and i hope it fares well as it test it out on the main roads tomorrow. see you guys then! check out my super adorable marshmellow arrangement from my Lucky Charm breakfast this morning! cute right? i think it is!
