I'm back for another update. Currently waiting to meet up with Edward because he got me Adobe Photoshop CS4! Thanks Ed! Been craving for adobe photoshop all these while but I could not afford one. Till I get to KL, Ed told me that I can get anything from KL's night market and I asked him if he could get one for me and all I need to do now is to meet up with him and get it from him!
Yeah I know, it's not easy to use adobe photoshop but I wanna learn how to use it! Excited man. Ohya, talking bout photo-editing and stuffs. I am still wondering whether I am at the right university and whether I am taking the right course or not. Why? Because I've been praying and hoping that I am on the right track. Somehow I feel that my interest is still into Multimedia and Graphics Design. Another thing is that I DO NOT understand anything about Fluid Mechanics even till now and it's already Week 5! Well, at least I know I'm not the only one. Many of my friends have been skipping classes because it does not make any difference even if you attend lectures.
And I've been telling my friends that since the lecturers aren't helping and if I screw this semester up and if I know that Civil Engineering is not the course for me, I would probably be starting a new semester in TARCollege doing Graphics Design. There's this guy in my cell who actually took Mechanical Engineering in his first year but he actually realised that ME wasn't the right course for him so he started taking Graphics Design the next year. So, will it be UTAR or KTAR next year?
Well, to be honest. UTAR Setapak is kinda disappointing thou. How can you attend 5 weeks of lectures and tutorials and not UNDERSTANDING A SINGLE THING? We are not sure whether we could pass the examination even if there's an open book test.
We went to Wangsa for dinner earlier. Yeah, H1N1 cases everywhere and it seems that there's already one case in PV6. Just wanna share some pics I took during dinner:
Attended church service yesterday and it's super 'cekap'. And I actually fell in love with the two songs during worship. My housemates would know as I've been playing those songs over and over again. I would like to recommend one of these songs to you guys, it's called All for Love by Hillsongs United. I was touched by that song actually, super 'cekap' song!
All for Love
All for love a Father gave
For only love could make a way
All for love the heavens cried
For love was crucified
Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me
Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You
Let me sing all for love
I will join the angel song
Ever holy is the Lord
King of Glory
King of all
Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me
Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You (x2)
All for a love a Saviour prayed
Abba Father have Your way
Though they know not what they do
Let the Cross draw man to You
Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You (x2)
Till the next update, take care and God Bless!
Hey peeps, I actually planned to STOP blogging thou. Why? Because I do not have any inspiration or even photographs to update my blog. So it's gonna be a month here in Setapak already but before that, I'M AN UNCLE! Lol, that sounds super old! Yeah, my cousin actually gave birth to a baby girl and that makes me an uncle.
Taken in Fatimah Hospital :
After the visit, I took the 1pm train back to KL and it was a Tuesday. I actually planned to get my PTPTN Loan stuffs settled on Monday but thank God it was done by Saturday! All I have to do now is to get a few of my documents certified and I'm done!
At Ipoh Railway Station :
It's week 4 already and yea, met some new friends in campus and also in church! And I do have some difficulties understanding what has been taught in lecture. But I do enjoy church cell meetings! At least I know He'll always be there for me.
Owh man, Superposition. Don't understand a thing man. Help!
Hey peeps, back for another update and this time it's gonna be on UTAR Setapak. For those who really want to know how is it here in UTAR Setapak, this update is for you! First and foremost, for those who are doing their foundation or degree in UTAR Kampar and you're complaining, let me tell you that you're pretty dumb in a way. Appreciate every single thing you have in UTAR Kampar because it is a place where you can find the best facilities! If you do not believe me, come to UTAR Setapak for a week and you'll see. We found out that the best facility here in UTAR Setapak is the bus! Why? Cause it's the best thingy you can find here, you'll see why. Ohya, the taxi drivers here in Setapak is freaking arrogant man! Well, not all but just a few of them. There's this Chinaman who drives this taxi, forgotten what is his car's registration number, I guess it's HWC 842. We entered his car and he did not ask us where we wanted to go, we were actually heading to UTAR but when we told him that, it was actually too late cause he already turned into the junction which lead to KTAR. Okay, I admit it was our fault. Come on, we were new kay? You know what he told us? He said "People like you all, study so hard also useless!". We were like WTF?! Felt like smashing his head man.
So, this is actually my second week here in Setapak but I will begin with the first week alright? So what happened during the first week? Orientation was on and we were shocked to see the UTAR campus here in Setapak. UTAR Setapak is providing tertiary education but they could not afford a proper sign board? One of my friends told me to took a few photos of the sign board and to post it here. Someone actually posted on his blog saying that the painting of the UTAR logo at the main entrance in Kampar sucks, have a look at this before saying anything la brotha!
Not only that, we actually found out that they could not afford curtains as well. And you could see how ugly it looks from the outside.
It's not even 50% of UTAR Kampar; the size and the standard! Coming to think about it, we did not really appreciate UTAR Kampar when we were there last year. We complained about lots of stuffs-the air-conditioning system, the cafeteria and lots more but when we are here in UTAR Setapak, we trully appreciate everything found in UTAR Kampar. If you are still not convinced that UTAR Kampar is still the best, look what I saw when I was in the lecture hall on the first day.
Ohya, talking bout lectures, we actually met this lecturer who said "I know this subject is boring. If you want to sleep, just make yourself at home cause that's what I did when I was in Uni". Cool right? We are so gonna fail that subject!
First and foremost, UTAR Setapak has a few halls called 'DK' which refers 'Dewan Kuliah' in short. The DKs in Kampar are way better compared to those here and I mean way way BETTER! What more if they do not make use of the air conditioning system here in UTAR Setapak. Seriously, the hall was super hot like a microwave! You would actually see people fanning themselves with almost anything! People are like saying "We pay 6k for free sauna treatment?" and we actually found out that the coolest place here in UTAR Setapak is the library.
The enviroment here in Setapak is kinda weird too thou, you'll have to climb the stairs to get to class every morning and it's super tiring! The buildings here are way worse compared to those in Kampar.
The canteen is okay, at least students can eat in this air-conditioned room but the stalls there kinda look like those stalls you can find in those R&R next to the highway.
They even have some decoration next to the canteen, have a look.
More photos of UTAR Setapak's facilities. For those who are currently studying in UTAR Kampar, just compare these with those you have there.
My friends weren't really satisfied these two weeks, everything seems to be so different compared to those times we had in UTAR Kampar. We missed everything about UTAR Kampar! My friends and I were worried if we chose the right course and we really hope that those engineering courses here in UTAR Setapak will shift back to UTAR Kampar as soon as possible!
I know I actually do not have the rights to comment on UTAR Setapak but it's just my point of view, my first and second week here is not that satisfying. This is my blog and I just want to share my experiences here in UTAR Setapak, I'm sorry if I offended those UTARians who really support UTAR Setapak. But, I'll post some pics about what some UTARians think bout UTAR Setapak. Look what I found on MSN and for those who are in UTAR Kampar, appreciate everything you have there. Even those tutorial rooms you're going into everyday and you'll complain that the air-conditioning system sucks, those are way better than those we have here.
