UTAR -> good?

i noticed that my post on segi college has had pretty many hits somehow but i definitely did not write anything nice about it.. coz what i wnt through there sucked... so since i'm an ex UTARian so i guess i should also write something about UTAR..


i'll start off with the pro of UTAR

1. its pretty much cheaper than other private uni
2. most of it's courses are credited by LAN which is suppose to be good
3. its new campus is really big, beautiful and conducive
4. the rapidly growing university is being affiliated with many world renowned universities
5. they are always striving to improve their standard of education and lecturers
6. utar certificated is well recognized by many private and governmental organizations
7. various highly demanded courses are being added into the list of offered course hence foundation in utar is highly recommended
8. enables students to be in touch with many event organizing to improve communication, management and social skills
9. provides good soft skill and other vocational trainings to students at a very reasonable price
10. the uni invest heavily in research and development in sciences


the con of utar
1. its highly populated with chinese hence the level of english language might not be as good as some other uni
2. the standard of lecturer are not well maintained but they are working on it
3. weak alumni community as it has just been founded
4. if not placed at kampar, other campuses might not be as condusive because some of the faculties are placed at industry lots


some other things why you should consider UTAR
1. our vice president Dr. yeoh is an awesome person. friendly, meek yet at the same time respectable
2. more than 80% employment 6 months after graduation
3. offers scholarships + master programme scholarship
4. offers study loans (PTPTN)
5. i dont know.. i guess coz i'm from there..


from my experience there its not the best learning environment but indeed my uni life where i was actively involved in events and socities was well worth. learn alot from my supervisors, seniors and other people. new skills, new friends, had to push myself through sleepless nights and all... made me a hard shell to take on the working world.


besides that if u dont think u r really smart u can really consider UTAR as u will be able to graduate. but if u are a high flyer, the moment u start getting results, u'll be really happy to see your name in the first class list during convocation rather than a second upper in some other universities.


think about it.. consider it..


p/s: this is not an advertistment but just how i feel and something to leave for my uni.. :)

3 days to training..

yesterday my manager brought me over to a division of my estate. its about 600 hectare of prime oil palm.. decently good crop which should be able to hit 30-31 tonne per hectare for this year..


manager asked me of i would like to go over there.. which very much was hinting that he might send me over if i would consider it.. but then the problem is that shifting there means alot more responsibility and hard work.. coz if i go there, i'll be the only assistant there with the manager only coming over once or twice a week.. what if i get stuck with some work.. hahaha... besides that, the assistant house there is not as nice as the one i'm living in now.. its kind of smaller.. the house itself and the compound.. haihz...


but the best part of it is that i can have the freedom to move my workers around to complete things quickly without the disturbance of other assistants.. lol... besides that i will not be so closely watched by mr. manager which aint always the best thing.. but then without much help i need to be very independent and learn up things very quickly.. more like forced to which is good.. but then the best part of if i'm transfered there is i am able to really prove my capacity and ability hence alowing myself to promote myself hopefully quickly..


that was yesterday... today basically everything went as normal.. bla bla bla... had a friendly game today where we won 5-2.. :) din really have much of the ball and any really dangerous shots plus had my form back..


after that i had bala over for dinner.. cooked spagetti carbonara.. basically its white sauce.. ummm.was slightly salty but then overall it was really nice and cheesy plus the cheese sausage i added went along really well.. had a short chat before him leaving.. so i guess its good la.. can make people working for u happy so that they r more willing to work.. just hope he dont mess up things while i'm gone.. haha.... i'll need to call back to do regular check up..


time to sleep..

monday...

today's progress of work.. finished putting the bricks together with cement and now its the plastering part where all the bricks will be covered with cement for a real good look.. only half the T and AM is done.. i'll need to quickly prepare to build the logo and start planting the flowers..

there's alot to be done for the logo.. leveling the ground, doing the outline for the logo, doing a actual mock up on the ground, lining the bricks then cement them together, plastering and also planting for plants.. haihz... the hardest part is the logo's not a simple shaped thing.. its... difficult.. but i'll do it...

LDG AYER HITAM

mojo and his lunch (grapes) ->expensive monkey

just part of my garden, grass just got cut :)

my pond with 9 japanese carps, still slowly modifying

the last part of the evening sunset from my gate, every evening's sunsat is different.. depending of the weather and stuff.. one word for it.. BEAUTIFUL

view of my house from my gate.. the distance is more than 100feet.. i think 110feet to be exact..

today it marks a start for my 1000 bucks investment.. i'm selling rice (beras) and petrol(minyak) in the estate from my house... 1000 bucks of rice and petrol is alot.. but i'm ady almost sold out.. i ady sold 160kg of rice and 80 liters of petrol.. i still have 90kg of rice and 40 liters of petrol left until end of this week.. i'm now stuck with only 250bucks until mid of the month where all thier UTANG (oweing) will be paid when thier salary comes in..


all in all although i seem poor but when i finish selling all of it n middle of the month comes, i'll make about 125 bucks.. hahaha... thats a 12.5% return in half a month (salary is paid twice a month).. imagine bigger model and a full month..


i expect myself to see a small shop opening latest in 2 months time selling more than 1200kg of rice and 400liters of petrol a month :) that would be a nice fat side income for me.. :) but the question again is where do i get such a model??.. hahaha... dont worry.. i dont spend much here plus i'll find a way.. as its says: "if there's a will, there's a way".. just hope my monthly savings can hit 500 a month which is more than i expected..

football??..!!

today as usual.. work.. but out of a sudden was involved in a football friendly match with a team from bahau..


so i went for it late to only be able to play in the 2nd half which was not much better than the first half. our players were very much confused with their roles and position allowing the opposing team an upper hand and controlled the game with more possession..


after getting on the field, i was only to put the losing 4-0 game to 6.-1.. at least we scored ONE.. hahaha.. i guess the teams needs to do alot of training, running, sprinting, passing and hell loads of strategy ans set piece practice..


its friday tomorrow and i got lots of stuff to complete before i leave the estate and head for training at ipoh for 2 weeks.. my days are short here.. eh... 9 more days before leaving.. haihz...

Missing Mojo... again..

after a long holiday, its time to head back to work.. missing my house, fishes and of course mojo... this time i followed a new road thanks to my dad's gps system.. the road was really dark and stuff but then one thing it did is save 15 bucks tol.. so its good i guess..


i reached back at my estate to find mojo missing again.. my goodness.. this time i went to the guest room where he was hiding the last time to look for him.. but he was not there.. since it was only 10+pm.. i went around the house looking for him.. but then could not find him.. haihz.. so went to bed..


woke up.. ding dong ding dong, went to work, cane back to find mojo in my chicken cage behind my house.. my maid locked him in the day before coz he was running about disturbing her... lol... used some food to tempt to get into the cage then lock that silly thing in.. lol...


anyhow he's back n everything's back to normal.. work work work.. today my maid also cleared 4 dead rats out of my room.. somehow the foul smell was around since last nite so i asked her to check it out n found FOUR of them.. DEAD... i dont know why and dont plan to... but its gone for good.. :)
