adrianism…

Ask any Curtin student about Curtin Phase 2, chances that you’re going to hear:

1) some grumble (when is it sprouting?!!), or

2) a blank stare (with the "what phase-2" look?), or

3) "It’s coming soon. It has already been approved" (answers from patriotic Curtinians :P)

If you asked me, I would sway between answers 3 and 1 (sometimes response 3, and sometimes number 1)

You see, a day before our beloved PM visited Curtin, i was shocked to see what looked like a crane, to be set up across the AL building. In my heart, i was like: "WHAT?!!! Another groundbraking ceremony for phase 2? We already had 2 in the past!!! One between AL and LT building, and another on the same spot where this crane is" To sooth my heart, i just thought "Ah well, perhaps they were for different stages of the laucning/officiating of phase 2 construction"

Taking a closer look at the erected billboard, i noticed that this time, the ceremony was the "official commencement of Curtin phase 2 development" WOW! So this isn’t another groundbraking! This is the official commencement of Curtin phase 2! This is the day the first pile is knocked into the ground! And i hope to see more piles going down!!!

If all this while i’ve been whining as to why there are no sign of development, this is the answer. We are waiting for the PM and CM to sign and officiate it…hehe. Well, i hope to see more development. For those coming back anytime soon, just know that up to the time this entry is entered, there hasn’t been any new structures at the phase 2 site.

But there is one piece of good news though. Remember this entry on Curtin Updates? The extension along the convinient shop has been completed (i think about 2-3 months already). Plenty of chairs inside - looks like it’s going to be a classrooms Oh ya. Instead of only 1 printing station at the helpdesk, the area now has 2 printing stations. Besides that, it seems that the "underground residents"* of the student coucil room has been evicted, so the incoming council members can use the room in peace (*termites la!).

Before i end this post, just a picture to share. This picture was taken after Pak Lah’s visit. A "Kancil" (noun - the smallest version of the Malaysian made car, oh ya, i own one) can be a police’s best friend (notice the back portion of the car is lower than the front)

I LOVE K-A-N-C-I-L! ;D
