Life as a student in UTP

I have no idea for new post. Not much of experiences to be shared, not much of incidents to be spilled out either. Heard of "kes buang bayi" somewhere around here, but what is the buzz? It is not nothing new except that it happened over and over again among college students who were once expected to be the future leaders. I don’t want to talk about that. Jagalah diri, hiasilah peribadi. Someone said, "Nak buat jahat pun pandai-pandailah. Jangan sampai malu diri sendiri dan menyusahkan orang lain (family, etc)."

Enough of that matter. This is what I wanna talk about. What is the difference between being in the final year and the previous junior-years? Not much except that there are a lot of projects going on. I wonder what the real purpose of these projects is. I don’t want to talk about that any longer either. The main thing is, UTP is still the same in term of internet connection, etc. It is really frustrating when I really want to do my projects and assignments but the connection just sucks. Sometimes, it takes forever to load a simple page like Google. How much do we have to pay for the connection? Does anyone here know about the price? What I know is it doesn’t come with a FREE price tag. Maybe it is included somewhere in the fees.

And secondly, the "good" news is allowance for this month is still pending. Good! It is already August 6. Make megi repih pat la napoknye bulan ni, dok gitu best buddy? Hahaha. I don’t wanna talk about that any further either. Then some strangers who read this post will ask, "Why don’t you complain about these matters to the respective persons/departments?" And I’ll simply answers, "I don’t wanna do that, not anymore because they are the same persons who had received similar complains approximately 1-2 years ago, and the same things happen over and over again!"

It’s not that I am not grateful to be here. I am. It’s just that sometimes I feel lost (in the Lost World of Tronoh) and disappointed with some of these facts.

XxX .Banned shop. XxX

My roomate and I sent our Industrial Internship Final Report for hard cover binding purpose to one of the shops at Bandar Seri Iskandar last week on Sunday (20th July 2008). The report was supposed to be submitted to the UTP Supervisor last week (due date was 25th July). I saw a massive number of ordered books at the shop, and quickly asked the owner whether he wanted to take new orders. He agreed instantly, and promised that the hard cover binding will be completed by Wednesday (23rd July).

So, we went there on Wednesday, and found out that our reports were still not ready. The owner (this time a woman) said that the books will be ready by Thursday afternoon. I had some uneasy feelings at that time, but I still considered that hopefully by Thursday we will get our reports back.

On Thursday (afternoon), we went to the shop again and discovered that the shop was closed. What the heck?? Friday was the due date! We explained to the owner before that we have to submit the report by Friday. Did they ignore this fact? Unfortunately, we didn't have their phone numbers. If not, I might throw some 'beautiful words'. Oh No..I am a student of UTP. I can not tarnish the university's image. :p

So, we went to the shop again (4th time) in the evening on the same day. Luckily that time it was opened, but unluckily the reports were still not ready. I remember exactly how the lady said, " Jangan bimbang, saya dah buat kerja ni dah lama, tak pernah ada problem. Esok you akan dapat balik buku (referring to the reports) you paling lewat pukul 2 petang. Biasanya tengah hari you dah boleh dapat. Nanti I message."

Tunggu punya tunggu, esoknya (Jumaat) sampailah lepas habis solat Jumaat, tak ada satu pun message yang sampai. I decided to call my UTP Supervisor for the Industrial Internship, Dr. Chandra Mohan to delay the report submission. I was very lucky that he said yes, and I may submit my report on Tuesday - 29th July (he was not around on Monday 28th July). Fuh, lega. Alhamdulillah.

Petangnya, tepat jam 5.20 petang, aku dan rumet menerima message yang sama, "Buku dah sampai!" - that was exactly how the owner type the message, dengan satu tanda seru. Bukannya nak cakap elok-elok. Contohnya at least cakap la macam ni, "Salam, buku dah sampai. Maaf sebab lambat." Aiyoo..itu pun nak kena ajar ka? Masa tu we're on our way back home (Kota Bharu). Aku just reply, "Baru sampai ke? Kami dah terpaksa explain kat lecturer sebab tak hantar report on time." - and there was no reply.

Aku malas dah cakap panjang. Cakap panjang-panjang pun tak guna. Dah panjang pun. Kalau nak cakap pasal kualiti laagi laa..tambah-tambah panjang. Hahaha. For your information ni dia kedai tu (marked in red). So tengok betul-betul kalau nak hantar report atau apa-apa kerja lain yang penting:

Look closely (sebelah kedai tauke cina tu..)

I'm not in any sense nak sekat rezeki orang atau seumpanya, I just wanted to express my uneasy feeling towards the service providers out there that never think of their bad service to the customers. Do they think that they can go on easy for another years to come if they continue with the same attitudes? I wonder when our country will achieve that 2020 thing. Huh.~

I hate spammers! Seriously.

If you feel unlikely to give good/positive comments on any of my posts, please, pretty please, DO NOT leave any comment at ALL.

Comment like this "I think I can give opinion about your post which is not boring, so that people will not waste their time reading your post!" or this one "This topic is childish" - is NOT APPRECIATED at ALL. So, sorry (should I be?) if I put them to trash.

From now own, comments from anonymous aka annoying, people out of nowhere have been disabled. If you really want to comment, use your blogspot or other open ID (live journal, wordpress, etc)

I don't care for comments, I don't care for the traffic hit. I write for myself and sometimes for my friends. So, I'll just write what I think is good for us. If you don't know me at all, yes you can comment, but please be good, or I'll be mad!


p.s: Just tired of stupid spammers who think that they are better than the others. Go away spammers, I don't like your unnecessary comments AT ALL.

PM gesa bendung kenaikan harga barang

''Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi mahu rakyat menjadi ‘mata dan telinga’ kerajaan dalam usaha membendung kenaikan harga barangan keperluan ekoran langkah menaikkan harga petrol dan diesel berkuat kuasa esok.

Sambil meminta rakyat mengamalkan gaya hidup berjimat cermat, Perdana Menteri menegaskan, bantuan orang ramai itu amat diperlukan bagi membolehkan penguatkuasaan dijalankan secara lebih berkesan.''


Harga minyak naik, you purely expect that harga barang tak akan naik?
I don't know what they are thinking. Are they optimists or dreamers?


I don't care if you want to increase the oil price as high as you wanted it to be.
I know you won't pay for it - the one who suffer will not be you.
And it is the real truth anyway. In years to come - it is expected that oil price will be $150-200/barrel.


But please, please don't say unrealistic things. It just shows how unaware you are.
Almost everything revolves around oil and gas. Don't you think?
Be more responsible for your act, please. Tell the truth.


p.s: Sorry for being emotional, again. I just can't stand people who pretend that they care, in fact they don't. If you care, just tell the truth. Even if you don't, you don't have to wait for weeks or months to say the truth. It will hurt even more!

p.s: Semua barang naik, scholar bila lagi nak naik. XD
