How to uphold UTAR image?

Many UTAR students have read and interested people are still coming in to read my previous post "Read this before you enroll to UTAR". I got many feedbacks, some agree and like my post, some got pissed off and dislike it, perhaps they also despise me and label me as complainer or traitor of UTAR. I do not like been labelled that way to be frank.

But I will not say: "fuck off if you don't like what I write." It is a ignorant and irresponsible statement to make.

I want to make my point clear, I was not trying to ruin UTAR image, I was merely describing what I have seen and experienced in the past 4 years. I have my own ways to uphold the school's image.

I keep quite when speakers from outside UTAR are conducting their presentation, I wear shoes to job interview session, I drive carefully, I definitely won't hit and run, I don't leave dishes on cafeteria table, I don't vandalize UTAR properties, I don't steal LCD screen from computer lab, I don't have hair like super saiyan

These are some small but crucial things and signs that people scrutinize and evaluate. Talking but not doing doesn't contribute a thing.

Teacher rapes 12 years-old girl

31 years old teacher sentenced to 36 years and 4 rotans for raping a 12 years old school girl. For details, read this.

How on earth that the 12 years old girl triggered his sexual arousal? An average 12 years old school girl who just got into puberty stage and barely have any boob or anything closer to a girl that appears to be sexually attractive.

I wonder if there is any pre-employment test and psychological test before in process of hiring teachers. These are the voices of tomorrow we're talking about, at the young age, teachers play very important roles and have great influences in shaping their personalities. Imagine a extremist constantly instill negative ideologies to these young pupils who barely have any judging ability.

There is black sheep in every flock, but prevention is better than cure. The damage is done, and the impact is irreversible no matter how many years he got sentenced to.

KTM - Money Sucker!

I wrote about KTM before and I would like to write again, because it only get worse rather than improve.

old train, old railway, old town, everything is just so fucking old!

I have accepted the facts that KTM's Intercity Shuttle Train Service between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh is slow, noisy, uncomfortable, expensive and dirty. I have also proved that it's online reservation system doesn't work, you can try it if you don't believe, here is the page.

Today, I found out that KTM's customer service's feedback system is not working as well. I tried using different browsers just in case it doesn't support but sadly, it just does not work.I guess it's a way to avoid complaint.

Nonetheless, those mentioned earlier are not really the issue. I can bare with poor customer service, I accept poor punctuality since we are in Malaysia, I take its useless online system as a joke. In fact, I think its website is uglier than my blog.

But this time it has gone way too far. It has canceled two stops at Sungai Buloh and Kepong Sentral for intercity shuttle train service KL-Ipoh.

I don't understand the why would it canceled the two stops since many people are boarding and even stopping at these stations. I am also one of the victims and I believe the cancellation has affected many other students and passengers. Now we have to stop at Rawang or KL Sentral and buy another ticket to go back to the station that we passed in the shuttle train.

Don't understand what I said? Never mind, see the diagram below.

Now KTM will not stop at Kepong Sentral and Sg.Buloh, which means it can earn more money by making us to buy another ticket to go back to where we want to be. For my case, I'll have to pay another RM1.60 to go back to Kepong from KL Sentral. What a good money-making strategy. But its strategy costs us not only money, but time as well! Now I have to travel an hour longer and earlier!

YTL Communications Gives Students Free 4G Internet Connections! Bravo!

YTL communications is going to sponsor students with 300MB of High Speed Internet per month for 3 freaking years FOR FREE! BRAVO to YTL!

Anyway, the benefit comes with a program called Education Partner Program (EPP). Through the program, YTL will provide 4G Internet services to students in all public universities! That would enable students to surf Internet at speed of Superman from anywhere within the campus (My hostel just 500 meters away from campus, so I assume I can use it from house also!)

Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman or better known as UTAR is the 1st private university joins EPP. UTAR students, this is the best thing ever happened to us! *THUMBS UP* However, there is no detail regarding when will be the services released, so just stay tuned. For more information, visit YTL communications.

Now this is what we call a Corporate Social Responsibility!

Why UTAR Students are so Busy?

Once again, the week of assignment submission is arriving. Most of the students in UTAR are now going through their busiest period of time throughout the whole semester.

No surprise if you see students start to scarify their sleeping time to prepare their reports. No surprise to see students start to swear and blame UTAR for killing them by putting all the assignment submission date and midterm exams together.

I'm also one of the unmotivated and unplanned students who do works last minute, but I would never blame others for my own fault.

UTAR and our lecturers have given us enough times to conduct any study and research, not lesser than 8 weeks which is 2 months.

It's our own problems for not doing any planning and not supervise and motivate our team to do works.

My tutor does not recognize me!

I was having Human Resource Management tutorial earlier. I was so shocked that my tutor doesn't actually recognize me. Despite I'm the only one who always respond to her questions and sometimes even ask questions.

She asked my class, "Where is the guy who always has a lot of ideas and always asks me questions? He is not here? I guess he is tired and trying to have rest after a long day."

WTH? I was just sitting there and all my classmates turned their heads to me suddenly. It's kinna embarrassing man.

I guess next time I would sit in front of her just in case she forgets me again.

Back to Campus

Holidays finally end and I have came back to campus for my Year 2 Semester 3.

This sem I'm having 5 subjects, and we call it theory paper, because the subjects are involving a lot of theories and more theories. Which means a lot of memorizing activities will take place in the next 14 weeks. Study is never a easy and pleasant task.

Nevertheless, life has to go on and I have to finish my study in another one and a half years. Enjoy our campus life to the fullest for all my friends who is studying in college or university.

Selfish Students with Selfish Attitude

If you understand student psychology, you will know that students normally crowd the first and the last lecture. The first class is crucial to decide whether students are going to the following classes. While the last class is even more important, because it is the day where the lecturer will give out tips and hints for the final examination paper.

I was having the last lecture for Pengajian Malaysia today morning, and next week it will be the final exam. Needless to say, the lecture was packed and crowded. Seats were not enough for all student to be seated. When I walked into the lecture hall, I found myself a seat, but a girl and her friend who were sitting beside told me the seat is taken. They have reserved 5 seats for their friends who were late to the class. Frankly speaking, I was not happy with it, but still, I moved myself to another seat since there were still plenty of available seats.

red circles are reserved seats, they put files on it to represent unavailability.

The game rule is like this, if you want to reserve for your friends, YES, you CAN, but please be considerate and observant! Your friends are 20 minutes late to the class, so you do not keep their reservation any longer, unless there are still available seats out there! But hell no, there ain't no seat already! People were entering the class late and were looking for seats and those selfish people were still keeping their seats for friends who ended up absent!

people sitting on steps

People were sitting on the steps and ironically, there were empty seats just beside them, reserved by few selfish people! I'm pretty sure they were pissed off like me.

felt like punching them!

I was giving out signals to this 2 girls and still, they were not willing to take away their files to let other people to sit, until the class ends! Selfish people with selfish friends, but I think they are not aware of their misbehavior and it is very embarrassing. If you love to reserve seats, do it in cinema, pay money and no one care.

Something that is even more fragile than glass

I learned a valuable lesson of life 2 days before. The incident that took away 3 lives has left a great impact, in me, as well as other Utarians. We always read news about fatal accidents, but we never been so close to it and we never understood the vulnerability of life. We were so young, we dreamed, we played, we worked hard, for our future, but..

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward.

quoted from Rocky Balboa the Italian Stallion

Only when you feel pain, you understand pain.

Life is fragile, and it's even more vulnerable than glass.

We, human are nothing great at all. The forces of nature is far beyond our knowledge and prediction. Everyday, people live, and people die. People born as a nobody, people die as a somebody. When we die, we leave pain to our family, lover, and friends.

Sometime, I wonder. It's the pain, the pain of losing an important person in life. Or the pain, it's because death remind us of our mortality.

Some people live to die and some people die to live.
But, what is the truth about life?

When we die, we leave nothing but pain and memory, nothing else. And nothing else is significant anymore.
