Looking Backward
From 3/7/2010 - 20/9/2010


On 3/7/2010 (Saturday), I with my family come from Batu Pahat, Johor to University Sains Malaysia. Pulau Pinang. From the south to the north, although it is a exactly new and unfamiliar place to me, but my excited expression and emotion are replace all the fear and nervous haha! As parents have to wait at outside, I have to register alone, look for my hostel alone, carry all the luggages alone and tidy up my room alone. And even when my parents went back to hometown, I didn't even cry, I thought I am Strong and steady enough! However.. the fact is.. I cry for following days~

5/7/2010 (Monday) until 18/7/2010(Sunday), are orientation weeks for USM. This can be said is the most "memorable" and "unforgetable" duration in !st semester. Everyday have to wake up early and back at midnight. But luckily got this orientation week, I can know USM background and history even better, and also their vision, mission, target and motto. USM most significant slogan : Transforming Higher Education For A Sustainable Tomorrow. Besides, USM is known as APEX University. Wah, such a proud and honour recognition. Even UM also don't have such chance. At the same time, I most miserable times start!!!! As from the seminar, when the lecturer explain the PTPTN, I realised that I was wrong in prosedure. I was so scared and nervous. And after consult many of seniors and stuffs, I was still helpless as no exactly answer and reply to me.

After orientation weeks, the lecture was beginned. Oh my dear.. Just first day you know, I haven't memorise the road to college, haven't see all the lecturer's face clearly, haven't knew the person who sit beside me, my FIRST ASSIGNMENT was given. Really High Blood Pressure. So, you know, the unadaptation environment + PTPTN loan + assignment + homesick = I almost break down. Honestly, I can said that I keep feeling tension and unhappy along a period. I feel I can't catch up the step and rules of this environment. Additional on this, not familiar and clear idea on the course I chose also make me feel nervous and maze. Hence, the vicious cycle made me down and down and down.. I kept looking for some friends and seniors, beside taking the note, I also always refered to their advise for any doubt and question. I saw the bright in the dark! Wauh~~ After listen their explaination and suggestion, I start even understand about my course and "tradition of HBP". And I even start to understand Mr.WanB purpose. Although the assignment still tough and "superb", but I unexpectedly can more and more enjoy in that.

Now I'm going to show all of you about my progress:

12/7/2010 (Mon)
The introduction of course, lecturers, briefing and some lesson. The real process I'm not much remember sorry, but some words I think I will memorise untill I graduate, that is
INTENTION-ACT-PRODUCT
ACTORS-RULES-PLACE
3P: PRINCIPLES PLACE PRODUCT
then Mr.WanB gives us our 1st assignment, that is create own virtual home and everytime finish an assignment, update to it. I still remember the title of our first assignment is "What I Heard".

16/7/2010 (Fri)
Our assignment will be given on every Monday and Friday. So, the next assignment is about Me, My Thoughts and I. I have to show how I'm going to insert my invention into PONDOK, so it can function when disaster 2012. My title is 'metabolite fingerprinting for standardizing Tongkat Ali herbal products'. This is unforgetable assignment to me, as I realised I am a bit out of topic, I e-mail Mr.WanB for advise. Oh dear Mr.WanB is post it on slide show. Thanks to him, make me realise a sense: if you done wrong, don't tell the others. Such a valueable lesson that I've learned.

We go rumpun buluh for sketch the bamboo. We try 5minutes fast sketch, then gradually decreasing to 3minutes, 1minute, 30seconds, 20seconds.....untill 5seconds. Haha, my fast sketch really is masterpiece, I think only "real artist" just able understand what I sketch. Then We also taking photo for our new assm nature bamboo. talk about joint. create a story something like that. I talk a story about myself in USM.

Man-made structure - bamboo sound tool (BST). This assignment, can said is the beginning of me with the bamboo. My life is stick up with bamboo from that moment. For this BST, I go cut down the bamboo manually, design and colour it, realised unsuitable, re-do and re-do it. Haha, althought at the end it still looks very shabby, but it still my effort.


26/7/2010 (Mon)
Mask. Wauh!! This is so so enjoyable part!! Mr.WanB wants us make two masks, one is actual faces, another one is in black and white. It is so fun. I use gum and newspaper. From this assignment, I learnt that united is the strength. I work with others when doing this assm, and they are a great help in process to complete. Like you can't take photo when you are pasting the newspaper pieces on your face. You need help. And united will make the "masking process" carry out easily.

Casket for me. I must say, I'm really a bit shocked on this title. Design a casket for myself? Such a genius assm title. However, I'm still designed one for me.. pantang enough haha. Maybe can sleep in the coffin which is designd yourself is a fortune also.



6/8/2010 (Fri)
Black Box. This assm is going to let us designed a black box that covered few purposes and functions. When I'm using the water colours and brush, I thought I back to F6, everyday deal with poster, water colour, brush, drawing block and colour pencils. Haha, however, this is interesting that I can refresh my mind with painting. It's been long time I don't touch the drawing tools already. I suddenly recalled my F6 teachers, quite miss the F6 days.

6BBBB. When I haven't start this, I was so so tension, how I know to do a box using bamboo? But then, as I started this, I feeling more and more confident, haha, it is rather simple than I think. A Malay phrase said: belum try belum tahu, lepas try hari hari mahu haha. Ya, I must said it it right. After having a clear concept on this, I so committed on tie the bamboo stick, gum it and colour it. It teaches me a thing, don't think bitter before you trying the chocalate, don't think hard work before you gone through it. Negative thinking just gonna make me tension and panic, and not help in my action.




(re-do one)

Urbanity. We go Penang Times Square for research. The journey is fun, this is a very legal and valid excuse for me to hang out haha. Thanks to this assignment~ I have a chance to survey and explore Pulau Pinang. Erm, I learnt a lesson, no matter how grave of your job, you have to relax your mind too. Go out and see something can make you refresh and rechargeable.


16/8/2010 (Mon)
Present the urbanity. Due to the time, it is too bad that I can't go to present my 'speech', haha. However, Mr.WanB is required us to submit it in folio. Hehe.. Finally, I have a normal assignment which don't need any saw and bamboo..


20/8/2010 (Fri)
Merdeka Countdown Idea. Woah!! This is Fun! My group is MC, M=Malays C=Chinese, as we only got malays and chinese. We create the script, contents and rehearsal our theaterette in a afternoon. Through this theaterette, I can knew differents race of friends!! Benefits! Malays Boys are cute enough~ I really really thanks on this assm, I learnt communicate with others and how to cooperate in team work. This social skills really cant read from books.

Theaterette performance. Our 3minutes theaterette performance is started. Wow~~
I like our performance, although not the best, but we make Azwan as the most significant Tunku Abdul Rahman. And I enjoy in that. Brave and common heart will make us free and easy. So, the perfomance is very natural~ Because I just scream~

YOUTH JOM 10. It is a super merdeka celebration. I still remember that We are leave behind by the bus. We take rapid to each there. And this give me a lesson, anything everything in this world has many solutions and ways to reach. Just like I can either take school bus to destination, Or I can also reached there with bus rapid. Process is not important, the most critical is the result. How you think?

3/9/2010 (Fri)
Class is cancelled, and the assm issued online. The title I chose is Aqua Marine Video Enhancement Tool (Aqua Video T). And sumbit in holiday. Wohoo!


My mid-term break is started. Woah, 2 weeks breaks from 3/9/2010 to 19//2010. I was so enjoyable~ Finally can released my homesick. As this is not relevant to lecturer request, so I'm not going to details in that. When I looking back my previous, it is really EXCITED! ha. Full of sweat, tears, sweets, bitter, panic, joy and BAMBOO.
I feel that I've even stronger and can tolerate tension. When I see my record, I a bit shocked that I had completed so so many assm in past days, ecspecially do this blog. It's amazing. I've change even tough and brave, at least I am not afraid any loads of assignment, bacause I've trained. I think that when I go to work, I muzt be the most efficient worker, any task I sure can complete at once. Even huge project, I'm not scared, Five days (Mon-Fri) I can handle, bacause... I come out from HBP! Student of WANB! HA!!
