New Hostel in Kg Baru

Known as KBL (Kg Baru lodge) by most UniKL students, this is not a new hostel.Its an old building, nice from the outside but worst from the inside.The 19 boys from my programs are going to stay there for about 2 weeks before we start our 4 weeks December break.After our holidays, we need to move our belongings to Wisma Aida, which is also a hostel for UniKL students not far from KBL.Don't know what to write.Maybe this pictures will help me tell the story to the readers.Hahaha.
Living in Bangsar was quite fun.Our hostel in Bangsar is a quiet place, situated between KL hockey stadium and Institut Perguruan Bahasa-Bahasa Antarabangsa (IPBA).Just within a walking distance to Universiti Malaya.We got to watch hockey match for free, and even got free hockey balls.The only problem was to get the food.Its hard to get good foods in Bangsar unless you have plenty of money to pay for it.

The last live hockey game I've ever watch in Bangsar.

It was a sudden move from Bangsar to Kg Baru.We got the message from UniKL administration in the morning and we have to move at night on the same day, but we're a little bit calm because we know how UniKL act.If they promise to pick our things at 8 pm, then we have to add an hour to our time,which means, they will come at 9 pm.Hahaha.Most UniKL staffs still practice this bad habits.It is known as 'Janji Melayu' among us.Our prediction was wrong, because they came at 9.30 pm.Hahaha.At that time, we already packed our things waited at the gate.

4 vans of this size was used to carry our things.

At 11 pm, we finally arrived in Kg Baru.Although it was late, there were a lot of people there.'Malam masih muda'.This is the advantage of living in Kg Baru.There are lots of restaurants and food stalls which operate
until 2 am in the morning.Its easy for us to get to get good food at a very low price and hygiene is the important thing to be considered when choosing eating places there.Rats are everywhere.Even you may step on them when you walk in Kg Baru at night.Yaks! And every morning, when I walk to UniKL city campus, I'm gonna see 2 or 3 dead rats on the road.Some of them were ran over by car or motorcycle.Its important for us to choose a clean restaurant or food stall, or else you'll be a victim of food poisoning, and I used to be one of them after I ate chicken chop at the HR steakhouse just below my hostel.

The KLCC is within the walking distance from KBL.I still have to take Putra LRT from Kg Baru station to KLCC station or else I have to climb the new Ampang-KL elevated highway and swim across a muddy river to get to KLCC.The Masjid Jamek Kg Baru is just 300m from my hostel, making it easy for me to perform solat jamaah and 'azan' Subuh helps me to wake up every morning.Thanks Mr bilal for your voice.
