Special Convo For Tun Badawi

On 17 July 2009, my University had a Special Convocation which is a conferment of Honorary Doctor of Philosophy to our respected formal Prime Minister Y.A.Bhg. Tun Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi. This special convocation was attended along with our Vice Cansellor and others lecturer together with our respected Sultan Kedah. This ceremony takes time around 3 hours started at morning 9 o’clock and ended at 12 noon. This ceremony looks so grand .

That day before the ceremony starts, most of us were taking a short nap with closing down the eyes. I think this is normal, since it is morning and moreover that day should be holiday for us. Everyone was given a magazine which written all the historical effort that has been made by our previous PM. Then when the ceremony starts, it of course started with opening ceremony by the Sultan Kedah. Then follow by the speech giving by both badawi and sultan. Here comes the fun part, among all the speech, the words that carved deeply into my sleepy head, " rules applied everywhere even in UUM, but the point is not follow the rules blindly, and for some occasion, can change the way we obey the rules" , i quote the words with the roughly the meaning.

I guess pictures better than all words ....

3 weeks in UUM

Back to the last post, I suppose it will be roughly 3 weeks before. Now I am stepping my foot on my uni hostel writing this blog post. " picture of my hostel"

Just some clarification...my current uni was my last choice in applying for IPTA (Institusi Pendidikan Tinggi Awam), so I keep imagine how is the environment here and facilities of cause. But after all it is's too bad right here, surrounded by forest or green nature. But there is something that really out of expectation which is the hostel doesn't has any wireless connection which once labeled as first MSC status University.

The first week will be my orientation. For this period of time, I guess it will be a tradition in each U or even among some collages. This week I manage to know some new friends and got introduced to some of the lecturer which some of them with a perfect wonderful name which hard to be remember. We everyday only can sleep after 2 am in the morning and have to wake up around 5.30 in the morning, but good news is that i heard other U which my friend experienced it, they everyday only able to slp for 1 hour. Guess that we are still not too bad afterall.

The second week which is the add/drop week, which means we are free to add or drop the subjects according to our will. For this week basically almost all students walking around and finding certain lecturer or even wake up early in the morning to change the subjects. The 1st day of the add/drop week, my friend go at ard 6, but only able to finish the job 4 hours later due to the long queue. I went to the office the next day at 4 o'clock in the morning with no others people right there. The queue started when approximately 6 am. Although I queue infront, but the subjects that i want has ran out of available slot, so I taken 2 semester 2 subjects.

For the third week, where all activities and tutotial class start. Some subjects even has assignment on the 1st tutorial class. Taken part in SIFE which consider a leadership training .
