kedah trip


currently i am final year university student , well before graduate an "important project" need to complete. For this, i force to get the data for this project. Few public universities we had visited but unfortunately we can't get data successfully.

And now i use to go UUM at Kedah with one of my members in order to get the data. Kedah is the place that i never go before and it is quite strange for us. Both of us know nothing about kedah, many questions were appearing in my brain.
How to go UUM? Where is the location of UUM in Kedah? Should i take taxi or Bus? how much for all it take? How many hours we reach there......???? Well, first feeling for is excited and little bit scare.

After searching the location and the info about the location UUM for nearly half day. Finally, i get to know WHERE is the place and the way to go there! Thanks god.
Since my depart location is in Perak , kampar, so went there by train which took me for around 7 hours to reach Alor Star. A quite long journey, i also cant have a sweet dream in the train although very tired because of the noisy train's sound.

We departed at midnight 12.20 am , and we arrived Alor star , Kedah at 7.45am. First thing gonna to do ofcoz is breakfast. we went to a Mamak shop that nearby the station ktm to have our "kedah breakfast".





Actually, people in Kedah are very friendly and helpful. U do not believe?
Evidence 1: after taking breakfast, i asked the owner of the Mamak shop to confirm the direction. However, he was showing us the cheaper way and the faster way to reach UUM. If we did not followed the guidance of shop's owner, then we have to "potong" by the Taxi driver who would going to charge us for RM 55 for direct reaching UUM . =='' WoW, so expensive! Thanks to the Mamak' owner.

Evidence 2: we need to take a bus to go Sahab petana, the center Bus station. when the bus is reached, we still doubt whether the bus is go to Sahab Petana ..? Suddenly, Mak Cik at the back said: "bus ni pergi Sahab Petana, cepat naik". Wow, she know what we were discussing even though my friend and me were speak in Mandarin, Get shock Man! By the way, thanks to the Mak Cik.

Evidence 3: When we reached the UUM library, i asked one of the librarian the way to get the data. But, we were dressed in jean ,the policy of the UUM is dressed formal!
( HUH, that mean we cant enter?) i was thinking. Fortunately, they allowed us to enter after they known we are come from perak. Thanks to the librarian

Evidence 4: after getting the data successfully. we decided to go back. but there is no space in the bus, plus the ktm at Alor star had closed. The bus tickets seller suggested us to stay in the hotel and went back tomorrow morning as it was night. She was reserved two tickets for both of us back to kampar. Thanks to the ticket seller.
