semester 8.. begins!

WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!!
the wishes goes around us - from the lecturers to the students.
i could see everyone was happy seeing each other again, and definitely, everyone comes with new hope. the journey in architecture practice need to be continued.. eventhough it seems hard. and it has to be finished on time.

for this semester, from first yr until fifth yr, there will be no selection for workbases. FAIR and SQUARE. *smiling* fifth yr is an exceptional case though, since they're doing thesis individually. so the idea falling into first yr until fourth yr. yeah no excuses. everyone now has been allocated into workbase by the lecturers. i wonder who will be my groupmates. *pray hard*

just go through the students performances in the previous semester. some batch had maintained their results, some dont. basically, the results were decreasing in upper yr. oh, a best friend of mine scored 4 flat in previous semester. congratulations!! really proud of her. we used to study together. and i know she deserves it. like i always said, its ppl fortune. you make good to ppl, then you will get something good in return. :) God knows.

i love to hear the KK's speeches. regarding the 'new system' (no selection for workbases) he said, "lecturer owe you learning process. we trained you to be designers in future. so, there're 2 way process; meaning which lecturers have excellent programme at the same time they accelerates learning process, while the students will do their best to perform." this is a very tolerate thingy. the decision made by lecturers was really good for us. yes, i found its good. eventhough the system is 'new', the programme is slightly the same. the numerous units such as environmental, vernac, architectonic etc; will be preserved. its just that lecturers will allocate the students themselves and runs the same programme for the whole batch.

guess what?

i've known the group im in.
my lecturers are Architect Ramli, Architect Normal and Architect Norul Azman; 1 full time lecturer and the other two were part-time lecturers.
there're 28 of us. balance and nice student equivalence.

our group had been given a site for urban study where will be at Ringlet, Pahang.
so, in less a week, we'll off to cameron highland. will stay there for 9 days starting on dec 24th.

from now on, we hv to organize ourselves - as well as the trip. getting the contact in Ringlet, find a place to stay, place to visit, transportation - everything. we must get ourselves ready.

this is not a holiday.
this is serious business of taking infos for our studio purposes.

need to cover up all the town - its evolution - industrial period - its people, urban places, activities, its ppl incomes, building facades - yeah so many to study about urban. even we hv to identify what is the town back in 1710's, 1810's until 2010's. not to mention predict it further in 2020's - 2050's.. what the town will be.

phewww...
urban is interesting btw.
even there're a lot to do.
i'd love to tell u guys how interesting our course is.
but, for now, lets see if i manage to make it real.

may Allah bless.
