Life in Uni

Again, i just realised that I've abandoned my blog for almost 1 month. Sorry, folks. But im back to be a blogger now! Time flies, i have been here almost 2 months and im kinda under pressure preparing for my midterm. Apart from this, i checked my course structure few weeks ago and i realised that start from year 2, im not going to have short sem. anymore. Which means, im about to enjoy my long holidays soon! What to do at that time? Work as a part-time teacher? By the way, im taking 5 subjects this sem. which includes, Pengajian Malaysia, Building Structural System (BSS), Site Surveying, Measurement of Building Works and Construction Technology (CT). While, i like Site Surveying the most then continue by Construction Technology.

site lecturer-Mr.Thirak

There are 2 lecturers for this subject. One is giving us the theoretical about Site Surveying and another one is a part-time lecturer who teaches us during the practical. He's actually a Site Surveyor and very nice in person. Im wondering why the lecturer said "Don't play the fool with the site lecturer" during the 1st lecture. The site lecturer looks fierce actually. Undeniably, i felt scared when i 1st attended the site practical and our lecturer had already advised us that "Don't play the fool with him." But, i found out that he's nice and funny actually. Ok, back to another lecturer who is giving us theoretical about the site during lecture. He's good but sometime he teaches too fast. During the lecture, he likes to say "Class, there is no magic..." after he proven something on the white board.

Few days ago, i asked him about the hints for midterm. Because in the previous lecture, he had already mentioned that which part of the questions are not straight forward and have to think when answering question. But I was busy doing the exercise given and therefore, i missed it. So, when i asked him again :" Sir, that day you said which question have to think ar?" and he answered :"All lar.. All have to think." (what the... that day u said SOME only... =.=")
Apart from this, as i mentioned before, i got 2 lecturers in Site Surveying. During the tutorial, i took the result which i got in practical and showed it to the lecturer because im not sure whether the calculation was correct or not.

Choon: Sir, how to calculate this one? Lecturer: Eh, i thought Mr.Thirak (Site lecturer) already teach u all! Choon: Never.
After he proven me the method of calculation, he realised that there was some mistake at another part of the result. After he calculated...

Lecturer: Why your Reduce Level for A to C and C to A is different? How you get your reading one? Choon: According to the value showed in the screen lar!
The lecturer was pointing at the result and said "This one.... lousy surveyor lar~" (he just making fool with me, don't take it seriously)

Make a contrast here! Should i complain about the Building Structural System (BSS) here? Well, in the previous assignment, actually there was some mistake for the question given by her. We tried to ask her about the assignment, but in the end, she came out with this "This is your assignment, you cannot ask me here." Apart from this, in the midterm, i screwed up my last question. She came out a question which i never seen it before. After the midterm, i asked my friends whether they know to solve the last question or not and their answer were NO! For the latest assignment given by her, i still have no idea about the last question and i asked her during lecture and again, she said "This is your assignment, you cannot ask me here." (seriously, the questions given by you memang banyok masaloh lar~) BSS is fun actually but because of the lecturer, i feel it's uninteresting.

Mostly, every lecturer will come out some their "own" word. Just like the lecturer for Construction Technology, she likes to name those workers as Ali, Abu and Ah Kau and for the lecturer for Measurement, he likes to mention about first class during lecture. While, for the Site lecturer, he likes to say "There's no magic, class" after he proven something on the white board. Apart from this, he also likes to say "Why makes life so difficult?" and " we ASSUME this...." I wonder why he likes to use the word ASSUME! So, im going to say "Sir, you ASSUME this answer is correct lar, but how about this?"
