Nothing happened on the first day. We reached about 9pm and had pizza at Sue Yen's place. She had a Biochemistry exam the next morning, so she had to study and I decided to read Sue Yen's "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". Though I finished the book in a day, once again, I was impressed with JK Rowling's creativity.
The next morning, me and Shann roamed around Brandeis University while Sue Yen was having her exam.
After that, we headed to Boston's Chinatown for lunch at Penang!!!! :D :D (and an infinite number of smiley faces). We had Nasi Lemak, Char Kuey Tiao, Hokkien Char Mee, Cendol, and not to forget my all time favorite, Mee Kari. Even the waiter was in disbelief how the three of us could eat so much.
Then, we took the train to visit MIT, one of the schools that rejected me. -_- I know, I tak cukup isi.
Boston's skyline at the back, and also Charles River, and Sue Yen on the left. I put this photo just to embarrass myself, because I look like a bald clown.
Note the tiny words saying "MASSACHVSETTS INSTITVTE OF TECHNOLOGY". I don't know why they purposely put V instead of U. Maybe it's classy to have spelling errors. :P
The famous Simmons Hall. It's the residence hall that students usually jump down from to commit suicide. Note that MIT is among the schools in US that has the highest suicidal rates.
Harvard, after MIT. It's a free bus ride away.
Harvard's library, which reminds me of Angell Hall at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Don't you think so? :D
After that, we wasted some money and time at Harvard Square, then we took a train back to Waltham, where Sue Yen's school is. So that was Day 2.
You know, when I visited MIT and Harvard, I have a feeling that I want to go study there. It's a feeling like I want to buy Adidas and Nike clothes, you know? Like they are so sought after by the whole world. But the only difference is I can buy Adidas and Nike anytime, but I can't buy my way into MIT, this is the part that hurts.
