Plenty of surprises and surely it will be a miserable 'new semester' for me soon...
1. Results
Pointers dropped 'dramatically' from 3.XX to 2.XX, luckily my CGPA is near to 3.XX so that I still manage to save my pointer for this semester, if everything are fine for this semester though...
now quite worried if still manage to do so from judging at the courses that I am taking this semester...
2. Roomates
Never imagine that I can find a people that is extremely unhygienic...
8 days from the day he moves in, his average clothes washing time is 0 and I wonder if he really cares about his own personal hygiene.
3. Courses
Realized that it is tough when it comes to choose a course, when you are going to decide for your sake of pointer or based on your favorite lecturer or for safety reason... it is hard to make the decision. At the last, need to take the lead to drop a course and take a course that I am not intended to take for this semester, hopefully I am safe for this as I am going to meet that person 4 times a week (suffering).

Semester break left 'a few days'... and soon will need to struggle for result again 
. I still not yet recovered from the impact of the result and quite envy someone that still 'managed' to get such good results without doing anything.
The only left activity that I need to join is my school activity. Hopefully by joining the activities held in my school will able to let me live in the hostel for next year... hate the hostel admin system, judging people through pointers and activity, yet not able to get a double room now
.
Rooms... is still a '?' for me and don't know how is my future roommates will be. Quite nervous, hopefully it will be good ones and it will be better if it is in same school or same course. It is rare to find any roommates that are taking same school with me, and is even rarer to get roommates in same course.
New semester, new year, new challenges. Hope that I can overcome it, and so do you.

The results are out yesterday. Just checked this morning and almost get a heart attack when I viewed on my result...
My first response is: "WTF? What happened? Pointer starts at 2...?" My average pointer for this semester drops from 3 to 2.9 something... is quite relieved that I managed to get sufficient pointers at previous semesters... and for me to save my pointers at next semester.
Still...
It is a sad thing... don't even know what I had learn and now come out with such result... And need to see the lecturer again at this semester... how to prepare on his courses, WAH! A B and C for all of my major program and well, my major school's result is already in expectation.
Don't even know how to survive on next semester. The major school subject is always a piss off.

Have been wait for a month... when will the result coming out?
Started to get annoyed and piss off with their 'beloved system'. The date for the result is getting late from a semester to another. Now... left only a week for the registration and at next week will be the registration of new students.
D'oh! How on earth the admin department in the university doing?

Visitors from Chile to our school by Spanish Club
During the final exam, I had a program that is from my Spanish teacher about the international students sightseeing program at my school. Seems that I have some time on my final exams (I don't really study even I am free, after all), so I had decided to join the group for a day.
The group on that day, and guess I had blocked one of them~ >.< (Angelica - left 1 in first row, Alexandra - middle in middle row, Robben - left 1 in back row and Ximena, middle in back row)
The first destination after breakfast - Monsopiad Cultural Village, the man besides me is wearing the traditional Kadazandusun clothing.
Cannot remember what is that house for...
Some of the games at the cultural village - considered as traditional game, like blowgun.
They also have the utensils that used to make tapai (a kind of wine).
Went to several locations but there are only two places that becomes the main spot for the day - and the second one is the Lokawi Wildlife Park.
White eagle that in the park, very cool...
First time that I touched a snake. Looks a bit... -.-'
The orang utan, she is quite a poser.

They spent a week here and have fun with them, even it is just a day. Luckily that we live in the same college at that time they visit, so still can spend some more time and chatting when they are around, to release some 'tension' from the student affairs too. *sigh*

Courses Review on Sem 4
Semester 4 is over and now is going to the 'Junior' era (Third year). Seems that this semester had a lot of pleasant things in my activities but not in my courses... *sigh
1 - Morphology
Morpho... well it seems that the final paper for this course is... ridiculous. Reuse the previous paper totally for the final exam and wasted the efforts of those who is really studying... and the weightage of the paper is unknown too, as the paper's marks are 169... don't know convert to how many for the result...
He is also one of the lecturer that only uses white board for the lectures from A to Z (even I have no idea what I had learn as the assignments was the thing he not taught yet, then we already know what he is going to teach as we had done the assignments, if really spend the time on it).
2 - Approaches
He is like a Mr. OK to me as he always agrees with our requests, and he is quite a kind lecturer, but still will fall asleep in the class sometimes... luckily that the course is not that hard to understand and I think this is the only major program that I am sure I can survive on...
He is the first lecturer that called me at 5.30am too.
The course is all about the theories that is similar to pedagogy but it seems that this is the advanced version, wonder that other faculties in my school like science social will need to study these pedagogical methods or not...
3 - Writing
She is the outside lecturer (from Institute Gaya) and she is quite a good lecturer, but the issue is maybe because she was invited, with her age too, some of my friends suspect that she cannot teach us well (in fact she is not a bad teacher as she taught us useful things with a easy manner, like some of my lecturers in the past).
This is the first major program that I attend in night as well.
4 - Pusat Sumber
This is one of the course I called as... KILLING! The lecturer is really kind but the thing is the class for this course is wayyyyyyyyyyyy to big (almost 500) and now wonder that how will she able to give us those carry marks as I don't have any idea how those marks are calculated and how many tutorial works that I had sent...
The second most questions in my courses so far (before the stupid philosophy course that have 100 questions), this have 80 questions, that enough to kill you.
5 - Pedagogy
This lecturer is a popular lecturer (the coursemates voted him) as he knows to talk jokes in class. This course also have 2 different lecturers as one is mainly about the theories and the other is about applying.
It is quite a hard course for me as I hardly to get any notes (same goes to the Pusat Sumber - the notes for Pusat Sumber is too complicated as most of them not related to the course), and because of too many involvement in activites, I think I pranked on this paper.
The later my U life goes, the more I am worried for my results, as I totally hate on my school subjects - It is in a large group and the lecturer (some) are quite not responsible on their teaching, and don't even know what I had learnt for them!

The admin issue again... and our course registration
Recently I am quite 'hardworking' on checking on the SMP and also the admin department website to search for updates about anything. Found out that the admin website mention there will be a pre-registration starting 11 till 31 May, but at the same page, the website also mention that the SM Portal will be re-opened at 29th June.
Which one is true?
Except that, when I checked the SMP site, it seems that there are something wrong (my hostel registration reverted back again), and I really dislike the way they do something! The hostel affairs made me in troubles to getting help and asking for why I am not accepted (and finally accepted), and now the problem of the data is reverted or whatever they got for excuses... guess I will need to make a call to both hostel department and also the admin department... (And now have some problem to get the telephone of my hostel department... *sigh*
The courses that are offered by (next year is in strike and underlined font) (next semester is in bold and italicized) will also be as follow (subject to change):
TE 20103 - Introduction to Semantics (Tue, 8-10am)
TE 30003 - Syllabus Design (Mon, 8-10am)
TE 30203 - TESL Methodology 1 (TESL) (Thur, 8-10am)
TE 20303 - Materials Development (Tue 10-12pm)
TE 30103 - Social Context of Language Learning (Tue 8-10am)
TE 30303 - TESL Methodology 2 (Literature) (no timetable yet, not offered for next semester)
*It is rumored that all of these classes are in 8am.
* DA Lecturer changed to somebody else... not the doctor anymore -.-
If the registration starts, please register for the 3 courses below, and do let me know if there is any problem on the registration.

珍惜大学的四年
进入大学，你的所有过去对他们来说是一张白纸，这是你最好的重新塑造自己形象的时候。
大学可能有真实的爱情，但只是可能。很多时候他们是因为别人都谈恋爱而羡慕或者别的原因而在一起的。
你在大学有很多意外用钱的地方，为了你的家人和你自己的前途，永远别乱花钱。
你大学的朋友很可能是你将来事业的一部分。他们会帮助你，但是你也应该让自己有能够帮助他们的实力，所以你要努力。
很多事情当你在回忆时会发现其实没什么。所以，不管你当时有多生气愤怒或者别的，都告诉自己不必这样。
学习，永远不要忘记，如果你学习失败了，你就什么都不是，当然也不排除意外，问题时，你会是那个意外吗？
别说脏话，你应该知道习惯的力量。你随便的一个字或几个字会让你在别人心中的形象大打折扣。
好好利用在公共场合说话的机会，展示或者锻炼。
别为你自己或别人下定论。你所看到听到的可能只是一面。
如果你发现很久了你一直是一个人去食堂吃饭或者去上课自习，别在意，大学里一个人是正常的。
很多事情别人通知你了，要说声谢谢，没有通知你，不要责怪，因为那些事情你本来就应该弄清楚知道。
尊严是最重要的，但在大学里，要懂得利用这个空间锻炼自己，让自己的尊严有足够大的承受力。 除了你自己，没有人会为你保留它。社会是一个最喜欢打碎别人尊严的地方。
“我请你吃饭”之类的话永远不要乱说。
大学是个社会，当你上了高年级后，要让自己有大人的形象， 大一的孩子看到你，你要能让他们感觉到你是他们的学长。
你有足够的理由佩服每天早起的人，不信？你去做，做到后你就会发现有很多人在佩服你。
经常给家里打个电话。
你可以有喝醉的时候，但是你要明白和真正的朋友一醉才能让伤心事休，否则，你只会是别人的谈资和笑柄。
如果你四年内很少去图书馆的话，你就等于浪费了自己的一大笔财富。
不论男人女人，如果在大学里还把容貌当做重要的东西而过分重视的话，可能不会吃亏，但迟早会吃亏。
新学期如果你迎接新生的话，当被问到学校怎么样之类的问题时，你要记住你不但是这个学校的一分子，
你更要给学弟学妹带来信心，你走过大一，应该知道那时候对学长的信任有多深。
别迷恋网络游戏。千万别，永远别。
“我爱你”。别对很多人说这句话，在大学里，希望你只对一个人说，这是尊重你爱的人，更是尊重你自己的感情。
在大学里，你有足够的空间承受失败和打击，所以你真的应该找找自信和自傲的区别，可以用一辈子的。
如果你的个性让很多人对你敬而远之，那么你的个性是失败的，个性的成功在于能吸引而不是能排斥。
如果把上课不睡觉当作是一种锻炼并且你做到了，那你将会很强。
学生会的主席之类的干部，如果你尊重他们，告诉自己那是因为他们是你的学长而不是因为他们是你的上级。
别怕丢人，那是一种成功的尝试，不要笑话那些上台丢人的人。
从绝望中寻找希望，人生终将辉煌。
如果你不抽烟，你的精力将会比抽烟的时候好。
你的确要学会有心计，但是永远记住，要胜利的方法永远只有一个：实力。
面对不公平的东西，不要抱怨，你不如去努力奋斗，争取你自己最适合的公平。
人生百态，不要对新的看不惯的东西生气，无所谓的，比如说恋人同居的问题，这跟我们很多人都无关。
记住：为自己设定一个远大的人生目标，并终生为之奋斗。
在大学里就开始训练自己的冷静力，这是一种能力，有大事时，能安静并能快速想出办法的人，很厉害。
大学的竞争范围是所有的大学生，所以，你知道是否敢放松学习。
大了，成熟了，稳重了，但这和激情不矛盾。 一种对工作和学习的冲击力和持久力会让你有特殊的魅力。
记住，即便你是学生会主席，如果你的四级没过，没有毕业证，仍然不会有单位想要你的，单位需要的是工作的人，不是当官的人。
永远不要嘲笑你的教师单调，因为有一天现实会让你为这种愚蠢付出代价。
不要幻想自己能成为招聘会上的宠儿，很快你就会明白：百分之七十的初中生都可以上大学。
英语一定要学好。
你可以看不惯一些东西，但你应该学会接受，如果你没有办法改变一切的话。
对陌生人，把对方当作一张白纸，或者你的朋友，总之别当作敌人，即便你听到再多关于他的不好传闻。
爱你的人，不管你接不接受，你都应该感谢对方。
每个星期一定要抽出时间来锻炼身体。 好处多多。
如果有人嫉妒你，你可以把他从竞争者之列删除了。怀嫉妒之心者，难成大事。
别去争论，人不可能赢得争论，可以说，争论所提及的话题都是不值得去争论的。
成功的方法多种多样，别不接受你看不惯的方法。
男人，你长得可以不帅，但你这个人必须帅，那才是真正的帅，女人亦如此。所以，不必再穿着打扮上花太多心思。
别以为在学生会你能得到你曾经想要的。工作的热情很可能因为你所看到的所经历的一些事而改变。
文或武，你总要有一样。样样通样样松是禁忌。样样通几样精是境界。
还能冲动，表明你对生活有激情；总是冲动，表明你不懂生活。
如果你不能拥有，那么告诉自己别忘记--如果你能承受那伤痛的话。
虽然班级的概念在大学并不明显，但也别忘记，你的同学你的朋友。
准备考研，早点比晚点好。
别抱怨上中下级的区别存在，那时证明你能力的很好的东西。
要有精英意识，考虑一下。大学生了，迷恋武侠和言情，已经没有任何意义。
莫过于耿直，莫过于圆滑。外圆内方是一种视野。视野决定境界。
大学生的手机是否应该与潮流并进只有自己知道。
永远别渴望做个谁都不得罪的人，在反对和支持声中做出自己的决定才精彩。
要有魄力，即使是失败，也不要让自己的人生平庸。
喜欢一个人就应该勇敢地告诉他/她。 大学是学习的地方，但我理解爱情的力量。
应该相信一句话：没有不可能的事！只要去做。现在我们是学生，十年后呢？
不要总想是否能成功，既然选择，便当风雨兼程。
后悔，它是一种耗费精神的情绪，后悔是比损失更大的损失，比错误更大的错误。所以不要后悔。
我们确实活得艰难，要承受种种外部的压力，更要面对自己内心的困惑。在苦苦挣扎中，如果有人向你投以理解的目光，你会感到一种生命的暖意，或许仅有短暂的一瞥，便足以使你感奋不已。
每个人都有潜在的能力，只是很容易被习惯所掩盖，被时间所迷离，被惰性所消磨。
相信时间的力量，可以冲淡很多东西。
记住：目光要深远。你的目光看多远你就能够走多远。
永远不要瞧不起大学里的贫困生。
人生有很多如果，但是没有一次“但是”。
在大学时代看看学校的招聘会吧，你会感觉到一种前途的危机。 全是人，全是人，全是人。。。
越大，我们就越发现对与错是多么的不明显。这不是错，这是事实，而且无法改变。
记得结交每一个值得结交的朋友。
无聊的时候，别忘记朋友。朋友无聊的时候，别忘记你是他们的朋友。
如果你没有珍惜大学这四年，你一定会抱憾终生。
大学可能有真实的爱情，但只是可能。很多时候他们是因为别人都谈恋爱而羡慕或者别的原因而在一起的。
你在大学有很多意外用钱的地方，为了你的家人和你自己的前途，永远别乱花钱。

Activity at Kota Belud of JAKMAS
At 4 April (the day after TESL Nite 2009 - 3rd April), I accepted my friend's request, whom is a JAKMAS at my residential college, to join the caring activity in an orphanage (I will use the word 'hostel' from later on to sub the 'orphanage') in Kota Belud.
This is my first activity that I joined under the residential college, and also the first time to visit orpahnage (as there are a lot of sensitivity words that are not allowed to speak)...
Woke up at 6, and then arrived there at 9am. And heard that I am in charge of Year 6 but eventually becomes a photographer there.
The library of the hostel. It seems that it looks beautiful, but the books are quite outdated. Needs some sponsor I guess.
The overview of the hostel (from the rooms side).
And this is how the registration is done.
One of the teaching process that we had (divided into several groups). Wonder that why is this necessary as they also go to schools?
The rooms of the students. There is only a fan (not the one we have in the hostels, like the table fan) at the middle. If I live in this room, sure I will get crazy in minutes due to the heat. They impressed me on this part.
The 'before departure' activity (last activity). Playing games with them... music chair.
Actually there are no difference between us and the orphans. Just they don't have parents (some of them do, but financial problem at their family forces them to do so...) and they do deserve a fair treatment just like us.
It is a tough activity, but I do enjoyed it for the whole day (and yeah, it is tiring too). Due to this activity, I knew some new friends and also a felo and a person from HEP too... Sure it is beneficial... sometimes.

This is quite a good one (spacious and got it's own hall but a bit hot). You can also see that they are waiting for the registration.

Lack if internet connection and speed means that less blogging (but not less playing)...
Exam week 'finally' come. Wish to all of you good luck...
I am packed with several papers in a few days but then free for almost a week for that, what a stupid administration that made this time table... Hope that I can survive again for this semester. Don't even know what I had studied so far for this semester, busy with a lot activities though.
See you in the exam field sooner or later, or next semester!

TESL Nite 2009
Last Friday (roguhly 3rd of April), we had our TESL Nite 2009 at our recital hall. Features for the activity are: our "Cinderharry" (a twist of Cinderella), bands, choir and also dancing.
There are several comments about what had happened before and after the night, and obviously there are good and bad comments about the overall thing too.
It takes quite a short time for the preparation and also for everything. But still everything can be covered and at least it was done successfully.
Guess will spend some time to get the photoes soon (as I only get the video clips for now). Thanks to everyone that really made the TESL Night as a night that we can really rememer. Forget about anything bad that hs happened and just think about the goods and the successfulness of the night and be happy with it. No hard fellings.

How to make yourself happy?
Forwarded by my friend to me, and decided to share this out too.
How to Stay Happy Always :-)
1.
Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight, and height.
Let the doctors worry about them.. That is why you pay them.
2.
Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
3.
Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain get idle.
'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
4.
Enjoy the simple things.
5.
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
*********
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him or her!
6.
The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself.
LIVE while you are alive.
7
Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8.
Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9.
Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is
10.
Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
Accept the things that is correct and ignore the things that is incorrect. No matter you are, it has no difference if you have your day sad. Why don't make it a happy day if it really makes no difference?
Like this:
I am not entirely an optimist who believes that the best will happen - and I am not entirely a pessimist who believes the worst will happen. You can say I am a pessoptimist. I believe that the best will happen - but it won't be good enough.
Nobody has the power to make us miserable or happy, except ourselves.
A word from Lyn Karol:
Learn to laugh at your troubles and you will never run out of things to laugh at.

Flood at Lawas
At 6th February 2009, my hometown, Lawas had a disastrous flood, that reaches around .6 meter to 1.4 meter. It has been quite a long time since the last flood (well at least the 8 years that I am in here I heard nothing about the flood).
Is it really the change of the weather for the moment?
The Lawas Custom area.
The Lawas custom area as well as the only petrol station in Lawas, which is near to the river bank (you can see at the back of the yellow shop), seems to be the deepest area.
Apart from the custom area, this is the snap get from the direction of the custom area, it seems that there are certain high places are 'safe' from the disaster.
These are the city center area, it seems that these places are 'flooded' till you need to use the boat as the transport. Some areas at here, the water level is almost 1m and above.
The Airport road (approximately 1km from Lawas) are also affected by the flood too.
The morning of Lawas city. The rain stopped at 5pm (after almost 24 hours raining).

Hopefully there will be no more such disaster in the future.

Riots in hostel
Grand riot happens around my hostel today. The whole block including the block in the female hostel come out and protesting about 'spot check' that made by our so-called 'pengetua'. It seems that this 'pengetua' has raised the madness of the students and all of the students in the hostel becomes angry mob.
The situation becomes more intense when we overheard that we will get the summon about like this:
any shoes that is not arranged will penalized RM 2, the hanger is outside from the cupboard will be penalized RM 10, and if your room have a pail will be penalized too, any electrical items that not yet obtained the license will be penalized RM 15 for each.
Most of the female hostels were penalized for a few hundred bucks just because of that, it causes a big riot from both hostels and it until the student's association turned up to settle the case.
This is the first time I in the hostel to see such grand parade after the fire drill event.

Untitled #5
Wow... Sure it is cool tonight. Think a lot of things recently. What will going to happen in the next two months of mine in this semester? And soon CNY is coming but it seems that still not yet ready for the celebration. Time passes so fast.
Who will expect that I am the one take over for my school project which involves all of my coursemates for this project...? I am currently taking 2 posts and I only want to be a supporter for this project and not a leader. I guess my appearance and command ability is still not 'qualify' now. Anyone who volunteer to become the leader for this? I had fed up to listen about the jokers with the issue that 'this course is lazy... not active... ego... ', whatever it is.
And the stupid 'system' in our school has caused a lot of chaos and confusion as well. Who will expect that the school will use the 'so-called high tech system' and they are not able to manage them? The data loss and now they cannot recover it (for the information the add-drop is on this week). If they failed to do something while got the time to deal with stupid matters around the school, why don't they set the priority to solve the problem about the students first?
The things that we can control - they don't want to control.
Things that are out of our control - they want to control it 'kao kao'.
That is what we called it as... life eh.
Planning on the holiday at next week? Or still troubled with the courses that we are taking. Just forget about the writing in the system. Register it if you can do so. Register manually if cannot. Just that easy. No need to worry so much at it as it is not our fault and this are the things that we can solve (but the person who supposed in charge at this not yet in the office)...
Enjoy the weekend again, as well as the PAP tomorrow... I am not going, fed up with that...

Issue about Teaching Writing!
OK. So this is the news. The coordinator has decide about the time for the course mentioned. I am not so sure that if the course is listed in the SMP but what you need to do is just attend the class. The issue about registration is not an issue as it can be solved easily.
The time that has decided for the course is as below:
Venue: Mini auditorium SPPS
Time: 7pm to 9pm
Day: Monday
Please inform all of the other second year students for this information, and if the time causes any issue, we will discuss with the lecturer (Miss Sheily) for the time being. Just make sure that you attend the class for that time mentioned.
For some reasons about the time clashing, please inform me first (if you cannot attend the class) so that I can negotiate the time with the lecturer. And please let me know for the time that you are free for Monday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, after 1PM. (our lecturer is only free at those time) If there is not, try to adjust your own time for this course (as it is mostly PPIB courses at that time) with your lecturer.
If you cannot register for SMP due to the offers had not set to us (in registration), just attend the class. ignore about the SMP issue first. (I mention twice here...)

There are always something behind the scenario.
Got to admit that there are quite a lot of chaos in this semester for my course. And it seems that there are some issues that 'need to be reviewed'.
What?It seems to be true that the course are facing chaotic course 'selection'.
Who is behind the scene? Undoubtly, the school as well as the administration department. Why? Do you know that in sometime at this semester (I think at last semester), the course code has changed into a 5 digit code instead of 4. And there are some major school and program's CH has increased 'for some reason'. i.e. the practicum (Latihan Mengajar I assume), is supposed a 6 CH course has changed to 8 CH course. Some major schools like (Socio, Computer and Multimedia) is supposed to be 2 CH but now is in 3 CH.
I see it, how it will affects us? Nothing more to say, affects in the terms of time, pointers and even worse your graduation. I guess the reason explained well here.
What? Then... about the course's bulletin or the TESL night. My program coordinator revealed this issue recently and I have gave my opinion to him today.
Who is behind the scene? The whole TESL group!
Why? Let's say about bulletin first. It is just more or less about writing (blogging) or whatever it is, I only found that there are quite a few are interested in writing or contributing themselves. Perhaps that they are busy or what? It seems that my coordinator said about the TESL before and now is... totally different. Another issue is about the 'heads'. They wanted to publish the bulletin but they CARE A LOT about the logo and quality. Those stupid and freak rules are only demotivate us to contribute or give our initiative on creating something. They know to complain yet they contribute nothing. Thinks about yourself first before you can comment on others.... Then about the night, it seems that it is tough, and I wonder who will going to get the substitute job... If there is anyone willing to do so, let me know. I am ready to assist (but avoid to become the leader or what...)
I see it, how it will affects us? Affects nothing in academic but I am sure that our lecturers will be dissapointed since they are really, seriously looking forward about this matter.
What? Some courses are not offered yet.
Who is behind the scene? Academic division and the school!
Why? Read the latest prospectus. Borrow one from your junior. The school forced us to follow and take the courses are offered as in the prospectus. That's insane. If you compare with it, you will find out that it is in a total mess. And then about the issue why you are not registered? Easy. The stupid system used by the academic division as well as the skill they divert the complaints from one to another, then the other will also divert it back to the division. No quality. They only know the quota is always 100. And as long as the courses are not in the same time and location then it is fine. And that's why the time table for now is in a mess and according to program coordinator, this mess will only solved after next week.
I see it, how it will affects us? Who knows? You should know yourself. Try to be more alert then.
So... just in a word, try to be somehow active and take the initiative... Unless you are not a TESLian. Not in the way to disturbing though. Try to consider about our coordinator. And I will just keep on informing if there is anything.
Happy Weekend again. If it really is.
What?It seems to be true that the course are facing chaotic course 'selection'.
Who is behind the scene? Undoubtly, the school as well as the administration department. Why? Do you know that in sometime at this semester (I think at last semester), the course code has changed into a 5 digit code instead of 4. And there are some major school and program's CH has increased 'for some reason'. i.e. the practicum (Latihan Mengajar I assume), is supposed a 6 CH course has changed to 8 CH course. Some major schools like (Socio, Computer and Multimedia) is supposed to be 2 CH but now is in 3 CH.

Updates concerning our courses!
Well, if you have attended the meeting about TESL'ian yesterday, I am sure that there are some problem about our courses as we need to give the 'places' to the seniors. Therefore, the solution is now as below: Take the courses that are only offered for the second year students. This is the updated version.
1. Teaching Writing Skills
2. Approaches to Language Learning / Discourse Analysis
3. Introduction to Morphology
4. Major School 1
5. Major School 2
6. Free / Major School 3 / PPIB Courses / Co-curricular activity
7. Foreign / English Language.
with the total of 17/ 20 CH for this semester.
Decide yourself for the major school, and if we can meet there sure it is fun. That's all for the updates.

Happy New Year.
It is the first day for 2009, and for sure we are expecting a lot of good things will come by this moment.
I will just make this short. About the school's course information. It seems that the academic department repaired the system at yesterday, and we will no need to register for the Social Context (yet we still don't know when it is the time, so we might need to check it during school days I think).
Hopefully this is a good start for this year and the problem on some of our major school will solved at this moment too (even though the possibility is low).
Happy 'Niu' Year to all of you again... (niu= cow in Chinese).
