Nasi Campur [Royal Tandoori] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Alternating between Delima & Tandoori it seems. Though I guess I could get other foods if I confirm I'm eating more at dinner.
QR wise, it's called Ammaryam Starbees.

• 1 big scoop of rice, finished most of it before my vege finished.
• 1 scoop of vege, as if it knows it wants to be scooped. Contains onions & red chili slices
• Presumed breast if not back part of the chicken. I wonder how tandoori one tastes like.
• Curry from chicken. Not much taste?

I may or may not have 244.72 left for me food the entire month.

Nasi Goreng Kampung [Dapo Sahang] RM 6.50

(Dinner)

Due to... constraints, I decided to eat in for the time being, until I confirm I still have a slight surplus to use.
They told me to wait 15 minutes for kampung, and somehow they bought up various dishes, such as kuey teow, bujang, and some brown type nasi goreng.
All before my order. It ended up being 20ish minutes of wait time.

Food is somehow inconsistent now, be it taste or portion. I should pivot back to Delima, or try Izz more?

Huh, Bujang tambah nasi is 50sen? Or is it 1? Why did they argue for 50sen discount?
Well eitherway, it contains rice, egg, spoonful of sambal, and a chili?

Nasi Kandar [AS Nasi Kandar] RM 7.50

(Lunch)

Today seems chill for them as like 4 staff are outside. Gal staff let me self service after scooping a bowlful of rice.
Well, don't mind if I do.

• Rice: pre scooped, 1 bowlful
• Vege: 1 pushful, which could be approximated to 1-2 scoops. Could be more.
• Chicken: either back or front part, which is per usual not hot.
• Goat curry: 3 scoops, avoided anything that makes my mouth go boom. Better to take more maybe
• Limau ais: 3 limes to be let go today

Then again, if I eat more, I'd somewhat break the calorie deficit goal.

Nasi Goreng Mamak [AS Nasi Kandar] RM 6.00

(Dinner)

Goes down for roti at 6, Sky isn't making. Goes back up.
Comes back down at 6:30, Sky isn't making. Fine. I'll AS again.

• Contains egg, vege, onion, weirdly chopped up cucumber, cabbage
• There's no meat in it
• There's a biasa & ayam version from wat I hear.
• Tastes better than Dapo & HTCs Biasa, but AS biasa is better I'd say?

Hm, an email saying Thurs class becomes Sat again... gamble going home?

Nasi Goreng Kampung [HTC] RM 6.00

(Lunch)

There is some pre packed RM10 pasta stuff sold by students, but somehow brain decided to pivot back to HTC.

• It... took almost 20 minutes of standing and waiting.
• They churned out tons of maggi goreng in 1 go, akin to batch cooking (yes). Maybe that's the safer bet next time.
• I likely could've gotten the pasta and finished it by the time I received my food.
• Anchovies are kinda soft, and Dapo at their worst is I'd say on par with this.

The hardest choices require the strongest wills.

Roti Kahwin [Sky Malaysia] RM 4.00

(Dinner)

Returned to Cyber earlier as homemade dinner not being cooked.
Koyoboi was gonna cook, but then suddenly went out with the rest? (Checked parking lot to confirm)
Gemini told me to Kahwin instead of Maggi Goreng citing "provides better protein, leaves more cash".

Sky is suprisingly operating their roti corner, so might as well.
Had to press the button so they noticed me. 7 minutes to cook. Sauces could've been more generous, but it's fine.
Yet another shop that does not accept the purple.

MMU Bus timings got shafted? Guess my Wednesdays became yet another car day.

Nasi Campur [Cita Rasa Delima] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Org Behaviour Quiz done, it was doable in a KBAT-ish sense, though prior knowledge is needed of course.
Gym? I'll put it off for 2pm+, if I do commit to it.

• Ayam Masak Merah: I suck at recognising parts, just know it's not a drumstick or wing
• Vege: It looked like the only one without anchovy, 2 scoops
• Rice: 2 scoops
• Unlike other stalls theres weirdly no sort of curry for me. So I just took some extra onions from masak merah

Hm, TIL the USB C on my laptop can be used to charge iPhones. Good to know I guess?

Nasi Goreng Biasa [AS Nasi Kandar] RM 6.00

(Dinner)

Fetched a friend/groupmate to near his apartment, so I wouldn't be able to eat on campus.
Bois seem to have cooked some sort of Japanese curry, which means not existing below.

They took around 7 minutes to cook, and I wonder what makes the price difference of Biasa & Mamak to not include meat.
Speaking of mamak variant & meat, adding chicken seems to cost an extra 4? At least for Mee Mamak.

Will Thurs class be changed to Sat again? Staying tuned for the announcement.

Nasi Kandar [AS Nasi Kandar] RM 7.50

(Lunch)

Went to Sky, asked for Penyet: "takda". The chicken is right there though? Guess I'll return to AS.

• Thigh piece. It's above room temperature, also nice.
• Rice is regular serving
• Vege is 1 push or 2? I wonder if 2 tofu counts as +1, or it's a vege (A question I asked on 15 Dec 2025)
• 3 scoops of goat curry
• Limau ais returns with 2 limes

Likely they wouldn't accept the purple, so I gave them GX QR.

Maggi Goreng Mamak [AS Nasi Kandar] RM 6.00

(Dinner)

I went down a tad bit earlier compared to normal to avoid the bois. It was too early so I had to stroll around for a bit.

• Onion, Cabbage, Vege, Egg
• I was thinking there'd be some sort of tofu as meat substitute, guess not.
• Per usual, no meat. Wait where's my cucumber..
• Does biasa have meat? Only one way to find out.

It tastes fine, better than the slightly hard Dapo, and likely better vs the literal egg + maggi HTC.
Once again, a notice saying Thurs class becomes Sat online. Announcement has been tuned.

Nasi Kandar [HTC] RM 9.50

(Lunch)

Class ended a lil earlier, so gambled by queuing and eating here.
As long as one comes before 12+- queue is acceptable

• Rice: 2 scoops, with some bits of briyani (I can't taste anything) (First to be finished)
• Chicken: they came out as I was scooping rice. Thigh piece
• Curry: unsure of meat, but seems like bones. 2-3 scoops
• Vege: quite alot as quoted by him when I asked for the price (I finished it a little before chicken)
• Accepted my purple

Went in 11:40, Ate 11:46, Finished 12:04. I'll take 20 minutes of eating as an average.
Next weeks 10am class is replaced with the presentation. How should I plan lunch..

Nasi Ayam Set [Mira Kitchen] RM 8.00

(Lunch)

I may have forgot to bring my cup. Didn't decide to route back as otherwise the 7:3Xam jam will kill.
Settled with a place that has drinks, for the cup as well in preparation for dinner.
Served within a few minutes. Such is life of instant food.

Now to hope I could scram for presentation during class, smooth sailing?

Tok Mat Ala Carte A [Ayak Gepuk Tok Mat Cyberjaya] RM 13.65

(Dinner)

Trying for the first time, along with exploring a new area in general called Atelier.
There's decent parking, choices to park near shops, at KFC (chosen here), or McD.

• Rice: seems plentiful, is plentiful. I didn't get to add once, didn't finish like 1 more mouthful remaining.
• Chicken: the wing is juicy? But the breast is not. There seems to be an option to choose thigh? Unsure.
• Cucumber is 1 thick slice, whereas cabbage is 1 big slice as well
• Nut sauce is ok, added once.
• Sambal didn't had kick at first, and then had kick down the line.
• Kicap is the typical sweet gepuk kicap.
• Rating them grants me a drink. Chosen Nestea (is ok), but there's a pink drink as well.

I feel weak. I can't even ask for rice addition. Just like my presentation, brain X3D, mouth Athlon.
Is this the end for big stomach me? Oh yeah, they also have tax. Something to take note of.

• Tok Mat Ala Carte A: 12.90
• Biasa, Dada dan Kepak
• Service Charge (6%): 0.77
• Bill rounding: -0.02

Nasi Kandar [AS Nasi Kandar] RM 7.50

(Lunch)

Asked Sky where's their Penyet, they told me "orang takda". ...What do you mean the person is missing.
I'd accept it not smashed as well... so long as the sambal exists as priority (the chicken exists outside).
Back to AS it is then.

• Chicken: room temperature, thigh, juicier than yesterdays.
• Vege: I didn't remember how much I scooped, but I finished it before the rice. Wow.
• Rice: they scooped, just a bowlful
• Beef? curry: 3 to 4 scoops
• Limau ais, took back 2 limes
• I was told I could also choose diced/whole curry chicken. 4 bigger ones, or 5 smaller ones.

Licking the thigh bone, there's some weird taste. But it isn't the vein... wonder what caused it?

Maggi Goreng Mamak [AS Nasi Kandar] RM 6.00

(Dinner)

I wanted to try Maggi Goreng Biasa, but turns out there's only Mamak variant.
I'll accept my L gracefully by not reverting my order, and eat it as is.

Koyoboi & Cheese came to inflitrate & set base at another table as I finished my meal, coincidence.
I also got sent to Career Fair, so I guess I'll make do with my remaining 3 meals here.
Maybe trying ShopeeFood vouchers? They seem nice for first user.

Soy Garlic Rice Bowl [Jinja Shiokkk] RM 14.00 7.00

(Lunch)

It costs 13 physically, 14 on ShopeeFood. There's a voucher on it that says 50% off, capped at RM7. This perfectly fits the bill.
Ordered & paid via ShopeePay as it only accepts that per voucher requirement. Took around 7 minutes or so.

• Choice of Wingette, Drummette, or Boneless, chosen Boneless.
• 2 tenders are fine, but likely the other 2 choices could be better
• Katsuobushi: Known to be as Bonito fish flakes, it... I don't like this. It's not ass though, just, no?
• Seaweed: think of them as those pre packed ones, cut to strips. They're fine.
• Kimchi: could be the best thing here, I'd swap the Katsuobushi for them anytime.
• Rice: hot and warm. They aren't using pearl rice, but somehow this regular rice is slightly sticking to each other
• 1 lettuce
• Sauce: it's fine, and ok, but nothing special really

I somehow finished the chicken and rice at the same time.
Worthiness wise, it's ass at 14, ass at 13, but ok at 7. I likely would have a better time if I ordered the Gepuk.

Murtabak Ayam [AS Nasi Kandar] RM 5.00

(Dinner)

Got told to try Murtabak as an alternative to Kahwin, time to try.
It took a while, like 20 minutes+ as opposed to their regular gorengs.

• Contains chicken, onion, unsure white stuff, occasional greens
• When hot, tastes like Chicken Ramly Burger patty somehow..
• Sauce at the right is diced raw onions with sirap. Yes the sirap drink. Weird, but fine.
• Asked for addons, received a bowl + sauce pan of dhal & curry respectively

It's ok? As a replacement for Kahwin, though it's +1. But meat though.
I wonder how's the other 2, Sky is more expensive by +2, and Chilli by +2.5.

Nasi Campur [Dapo Sahang] RM 6.50

(Lunch)

Career fair has some food trucks available, though nothing too exiting to me I guess. Back to the classics.
I may have went too early, as they only started setting up like 10+ minutes after I arrived in sweat. 2 clothes ain't fun in this weather.
And somehow, when one starts to queue (no one did when they were setting up), everyone swarms in to queue. Wow.

• Ayam Masak Merah: thigh
• Rice: occasional cakes, but overall fine enough. I'd say 2 or 3 scoops, unsure
• Cabbage + carrots: Finished around the same time as rice, like 1.8 scoops
• Curry: I can't taste anything
• Kicap? (from Ayam Kicap): I have no idea how to describe this, but Masak Merah my beloved.

With the week long online week upcoming, I guess this is how I end my month in Cyberjaya.

Hurt, but Intact. RM 1,149.66

May felt like living inside a backlog that never stopped growing.

Assignments stacked onto quizzes, labs onto presentations, and somewhere between all of it, FYP2 continued lurking in the background asking whether I had truly done enough.
Plagiarism checkers seemed fine, AI ones aren't too... bad/good. Some trimming here, some rephrasing there, and a bit of improvements so it feels more academic.
Groupmates, some are good, some are... not. Communication is good with some, but with others, it's like pulling teeth to get them to reply, and when they do, it might as well not have been a valid reply.

The trimester is entering its final phase now. No more warmups. No more room to drift.
The big weightage and stress bois are arriving. Soon, the end of continuous assessments, start of final assessments.
Ironically, the month’s most stressful event wasn’t even academic.
The Ryzen 5 5600 saga somehow perfectly summarized May itself:
Stuck in customs limbo, endless back-and-forth with sellers and support, expecting the money and package to disappear into the void...
Only for it to suddenly arrive anyway, soaked by rain like it had barely survived the journey. Hurt, but intact.

Honestly, relatable. Akin to my current situation, no matter what happens, eventually it will arrive as long as one keeps pushing forward.

That’s what this month feels like: barely making it through systems that don’t care whether you break or not.
And yet, somehow, things still move forward.

A mini update for the month as well: managed to finally let Homuhomu go as a sale. At long last after 740 days.
Got back around RM80 out of the RM180 paid for it. No more hiding it, but personally — it hurts a bit.
Though, selling it off to someone who'd actually use or appreciate it feels better than just letting it rot or thrown away somewhere.

June approaches fast now, with July proceeding immediately after.
3 Tests. 5 Projects. 6 (or 7) Presentations. And top it all off with FYP2. Physically standing there for 3 hours, with an A1 poster, without a script.
The final obstacle course before the finish line. And eventually... an actual job.

I don’t know if I’m prepared, be it physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially.
But at this point, momentum alone might be enough to carry me through, as long as I play it right.
No matter if I'm prepared or not, eventually, I will have to face all of this and arrive at the finish line.
