Just something with regard to our course.

Okay, so it seems that there are lot of problems on our faculty and our coordinator is trying to sort the problems out. So this is the response I get from the lecturer.

From the next semester onwards, all of us must going to get the same major regardless of the number of us. There will be no additional options and if you miss it, then the worst condition is to extend your study. You don't like it, so do I. Nobody loves to extend the study for this reason.

There will be 4 major (total of 12 hour credit) that we must take for next semester.

1. Discourse Analysis (WED, 8-10am)
2. Approaches to Language Learning (MON 11-1pm)
3. Introduction to Morphology (FRI, 8-10am)
4. The Social Context of Language Learning (Unknown yet)
5. Materials Development (THUR 10-12pm) *my mistake on this. Changed to correct day.

You only need to choose between Discourse Analysis and Approaches to Language Learning. If you taken Discourse Analysis, then in the next semester you will need to take Approaches to Language Learning and vice versa.

In your pre registration for the next semester, please take the courses that listed as above. For the time table for The Social Context of Language Learning, I think the admin office (not so confident though) or the lecturer will inform us as soon as possible.

Therefore, for most of us, the credit hours for next semester will be like this...

4 Majors (12CH), 2 Schools / 1 School, 1 PPIB/ Kokum (6CH) and 1 Foreign Language (2CH) that sums up to 20, or 17CH or 14CH, up to you.

Remember, all of the major course listed above are the courses that we MUST TAKE. You will regret for sure if you not taking it for the next semester.

Any information will be updated as soon as I can. Unless stated other way, or not we will stick onto these courses for next semester.

P/S: I will totally ignore whomever that SMS me about this. Unless you call me, otherwise I will not reply to your SMS.

The School's Carnival Co-curriculum day (Karnival Kokum)

Ever wondered how is Carnival Kokum in our school? This is how it looks like, take around 3 hours and performances with a average arrangement (well it is like that). The pictures here - as I promised. Have a view on these and enjoy.

Backstage event.

The orchestra team, it seems that they also making the background music for the theater below.

If I am right, this the drama that is something related to Tuah and Jebat (theater)... But not completed as the full version is on the next day in Recital Hall.

The Music asli... But it seems to be more in choir.

The Senam Robik, second part.

Lotsa bows, undoubtedly that this is archery.

'Genuine' club of mechanics. This is the co-curricular for "Mekanik Asas".

The SEJATI. This is one of the 5 parts in SEJATI, and if I am right, the Kembara section.

The choirs. Divided into two parts - black and white.

Not so sure what is this, but I think it is related to Batik.

The Tarian Asli, I presume.

The first Windows computer from Acer, the HDD is only 5GB and the RAM is 16MB (try to compare with today's computer).

This is the PC show of one of the co-curricular activity. It seems that this is the first DOS computer from Acer, in 1990-th.

I think this is calligraphy...

Golf. They held a putting game after that. I did joined but I only get a put from 5 of them.

I think this is the seni khat?

The first show of the carnival, silat cekak (Just if I spelled it right).

Well. It seems that items are not in chronological order because I forget that which one is for which. Anyway here are photos and enjoy. I am also not sure that if I have fun at there since I need to wake up early at Sunday, it is painful for me.

Final Exams, Good Luck.

Some of us had started the final exam yesterday and surely we have suffered extremely a lot in the 'psiko' exam and those dang lecturer and school's fault by not informing us that the lecturer is missing or what, the second lecturer teaches not more than 5 lessons and gave the book in last 2 weeks and then suddenly exams, exams, exams... Surely I am finished with that subject. D-oh.

Just cutted my Celcom Broadband and now I am using D campus. Quite slow, but better than nothing. Will try to upload something interesting within this week (still working on the carnival kokum in my school).

Friends, good luck for your final exam. Any updates I will make it at here. (DA is really easy! Ha!)

27th October

Well. 27th of this month is surely a unique day. Why? Let me go into further details.

1. pGURU meeting
This is the first. And it seems that finally (yeah, finally!) they have decided about the executives (EXCO) for the association. No doubt, I am taking the EXCO of publishing and information. At the same time, this EXCO has changed the name into ICT for this year.

At the beginning, I thought this is not a hard job, but then, I think it is... pathetic. Heard that pguru got its own website and launched at previous semester. However, when I viewed to it, there are numerous codings and not even a thing inside! The website is also too long for them to type. Just wonder making a blog (but stupid procedures and rules about copyright or whatever...) will be easier, isn't it? Guess I will starting to have a hard time on this for the next semester.

2. Friend's birthday
Well, think about birthday, surely think about the trouble. So far I am only celebrating my friend's birthday. Wonder if I got the chance to celebrate mine? All 4 of my friends had celebrated their birthday and today I and my friends celebrated her birthday at her house. Sure thing to say, it is crowded at her house. At least we still have the good time and she is happy too.

3. Friend's issue
I don't know how to say about it, but just want to know is the competition on the scores are important? Frankly, my pointer is just 3.++ and I don't have the intention into any list or whatever we call it. The thing I need to do is just survive for the whole university life and maintain at least a 3 pointer for my better future. So please, friends, stop spreading words that I am self-centered or whatever (if not then I will not volunteer myself to do so much jobs and helping you all)... Like it or not, being honest and indirect sometimes are my personality. It can be my strength and my weakness sometimes, as I hate to do the appearance making.

4. Others
Yeah, I got plenty of photoes and I am arranging. It is about the SIE at my area as well as the carnival of co-curricular activity at my school. Give me some time as I am busy on my assignment and hopefully I can done it within this week.

Fire Alarm and...

What can you imagine when the fire alarm in your dormitory 'rings' at the midnight?

I experienced that just yesterday. What I can tell I am totally 'blank' as I am not sure that either the alarm is real or something goes wrong with the alarm. After a few minutes of confusion and perhaps... chaos in the beginning, and then it seems that the alarm was faulty or maybe somebody disturbed the alarm.

Today, I am almost in rage. Thanks to our psychology lecturer, teaches us nothing but tests us everything. I just realise that he is even more insane than one of my lecturer and even certain lecturers. Try to imagine. Can you finish everything unless you try your luck for answering at least 120 MCQ, then followed with some structure, and also essay questions?! Gosh, ALL OF THESE IN 120 MINUTES! He is totally insane and frankly to say, I am pissed off with this fella! Cannot imagine there is a lecturer that is even worse.

I would prefer to get a 14 hour credit for this semester, or maybe a TD for my result slip, rather than study nothing and get no knowledge, and what he did in the lectures are talking rot and nonsense. 14 weeks of a lecture and he showed up at the 8th week, with a total of less than 6 lectures for the rest of the week, we need to hand in our assignment, and also have the midterm and this and that...

Sigh. What result I can get for this semester? A lot of courses that dragging my pointer down for this semester. I am dissapointed, and worried.

Untitled #4

Guess there is nothing special for the moment as there is no any special events except last friday, the meeting of my school about the election of pGURU.

What to say... I have gained an EXCO posistion that I wanted to be, that is called what... at the moment is called as EXCO Penerbitan dan Informasi. I think this is the field that suits me the best as I am not interested on the higher posistion (actually I did think about it, but frankly, I did not put up a lot of hope on those posistion).

Actually, the main thing I am going to hold about is - the 'warranty' and also the priority on live at the hostel. Now I am relieved as I will no need to join so many activities and I can learn about new things.

Hopefully everything goes fine. Especially for this 'final week' as I am going to be dead meat. Tons of assignments...

pGURU

Well.. I'm going to inform all of you that I am going to compete for pGURU for this Friday. So far, the representatives for TESLian are:

For the moment, the information I gathered regarding to the election or what is on this Friday, 8 to 12pm at Auditorium of SPPS. For my friends that who have class, you can come by after 10, and please vote for us so that we can prove to them that we are active.

I have no idea about the manifesto that I am going to write, I might just simply babbling and talking rot with a brief introduction.
