RM100 is like RM1000 for some people.

Assalamualaikum :)

Our hostel fee naik lagi. Masa mula-mula masuk September 2012 tu, bayaran sebulan ialah RM350. Dan internet ialah RM300 untuk 6 bulan. So internet around RM50 sebulan la. Total cost : RM400 sebulan.

Semalam, Student Council announced kat Facebook page ; now it is RM450 per month, with free wifi.

If you look carefully, macam kita bayar RM100 untuk 'free wifi' sebulan. Maksudnya semester depan kita kena bayar extra RM50 compared to total amount of RM400 untuk bilik+internet semester ni.

Terkejut. Bak kata someone, tak sempat merasa bayar RM400. Terus dia naik sampai 450. Sobs.

So, what did I do?

I went for house hunting with Dawa petang semalam. Jumpa 3 rumah around here. Satu rumah tu tepi semak. Murah tapi, tak masuk dalam tgk lagi. 2nd rumah tu double-storey. Uncle Cina tu sangat friendly dan baik, but I still dont like the condition of the house. 3rd house is a homestay. LAWA !! Aku cuba tanya owner tu if boleh sewa for RM1000 instead of RM1200. Dia taknak sebab rumah tu dah fully-furnished.

Aku cuba untuk dptkan bilik sendiri, tapi susah. If u wanna cut down the cost, memang kena share bilik. Fikir pasal barang-barang yang banyak, nak kena beli almari baru ke, tilam extra ke etc, rasa berat hati sangat. I asked matpauji, "Do u think I can have a roommate? Dah 2 tahun tinggal sorang, takut tak biasa la nak cope dgn jadual orang lain..."

He said, so takpayahla nanti jadi masalah lain. HAHAH. But I agreed to share room with Ain anyway, sebab she's okay :) Itupun lepas tanya, "Ain, kita ni boleh share bilik ke?" KAH3.

Alas, hati rasa tak sedap nak move out. Because aku ni cerewet sikit. Kalau kat rumah takpe, tapi kat tempat orang takboleh HAHAHAHA. Sebab kat rumah ada family :) kalau kat sini duduk rumah yg sedih nanti lagi homesick. Mengada sungguh. So I texted my father. First thing he said, "Dulu cakap taknak pindah, kenapa skrg nak pindah?" I told him la mahal bla3. Then he said, "I'll pay for your hostel. Safety is a priority. Plus there's always hidden cost despite rumah sewa luar yang murah"

*nanges*

I'm happy since I know he's willing to pay. Harap-harap it will not burden him. I just said, doakanla bagi grad cepat so that I dont have to susahkan u anymore :')

Alhamdulillah aku masih dalam golongan yang mampu. I hope those who are not able to cope with the increase, will manage to find other alternatives, Amin :)
