The summer school started late for the first day. We got our morning off so we both stayed in our room. I was busy with my business matter, ironing the clothes for the week & had a short nap. Ks was pretty much on her phone the whole time. She was so excited! And I'm practically the chill me. Meh.
For breakfast, we had nasi goreng & some kind of Jawa tea (I couldn't remember the name). Still, basically exchanging our names which I still couldn't remember. (It was only a few days after I could remember their names, that's when I spot the spelling. Huhu.) I remember P & Nk still flashing their perfect english to us. Haha. And the Cambodians talking in Khmer & us talking in Malay.
We got to Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta for the first after lunch which was only 10 minutes away from our homestay. Had a short briefing, and introduction of ourselves, which was supposed to be 3 minutes long per person. We had like this kind of game like passing the pen & who gets it is one who had to introduce themselves. The others did great, except me of course. I'm so used to only introducing my name & course instead of a whole introduction.
I didn't know my hobby is. So I simply blurt out I like cooking & reading (which was partly true, although I don't do that often now. #lazypeopleproblems) And also said I usually watch kdramas & kpop in my free time. Busted, when they ask my faourite group. Which I didn't have. And also, as korean is a South East Asia thing, the UKs was practically disinterest. Haha. Poor them. And me.
We made a round around the faculty. Which attracts me the most is their ancient weighing balance & fake clinic. Which is cool. They also have their own library for their own faculty.
Then we got back to homestay to get ready for our welcoming ceremony which to my surprise is at the first sultan's palace where the mother & younger sister of the sultan currently lives. While, we were waiting me & Ks got a separated table from the rest. They chatted a lot between themselves and took pictures. I was quite worried if we didn't get along well (but nah.. That's not the problem.) At first I was so busy with my phone trying to settle a business problem, which was bothering me. Plus, I didn't like watching people dancing even in traditional dance due to their tight clothes. The dance was practically so slow, very slow at first. And normal speed then. Overall, it looks like a women trying to prepare herself to go out. Like a 'dandan' kinda thing (sorry, don't know the word in english.) And I didn't pay attention to the Princess speech. Sorry your Highness. It was only then, when they invited to the house (Mi nudged me to go in). I stop looking at my phone.
The house is a living museum for a fact. They still kept the ancient things keeping it safe & sound. And also the Queen loves Malaysia. As a fact our country is one of the one who visits them & bring souvenirs. Got a picture with the royal Highness which I think their are so humble. The food was great, it was the Sultan's favourite food for his birthday. So it was a honour eating it. The rice.
We got back, pretty tired. So I went to bed early, When I heard P & Nk talking to whom we assume the 'Russian' guy. So he arrived safely, I thought. While we hear from our room (you could literally hear everything from outside in our room), Ks said his english seems like ours. Haha.
Sorry, Nt.
