PC/laptop is up to u want to bring or not. if u are staying somewhere around campus then why not bring along. U will need the computers to do ur assignments and etc during classes. on 30th is the registration. after that, u will need to come back in the afternoon for briefing of whats gonna happen for the week. Then orientation will start on monday until friday. class will start on 7th which is on monday.

Hence, as for ur parents, they have a few options

Option 1 is what normal parents do when wana send their 2nd child and etc. This is because they have experience already and they will not stay. Normally this group will just drop their kid off and maybe leaving on monday for work.

But option 2 is really carring parents (but i dont know why they seemed so free). They will spend the whole week with their kid during the orientation but i does not see it as practical. The parent need to wait until the kid finally finish orientation then keep on bringing their kids out. During orientation, students are not allowed to leave MMU. This is because, it is our responsibility to assure ur safety. Hence, during lunch, some parents will keep on bugging us want to bring their kid out for lunch and etc. But the answer from me is usually a NO! I mean, once send the kid to uni, is the child him/herself need to survive the uni life. During orientation is the time, students will get together and know each other better. And that friendship last until the student grad and might be still in touch until work...

The option i would usually recommend is, tell ur dad/ mom have leave on monday. (if possible). Then, they can help u get what u need on sunday after registration and briefing. And on monday they can go back. Maybe ur parents will need to spend night. But if cannot take leave, then is ok too. Just tell them to leave at night after u fianlly settle everything.

Take note... If u are staying at places such as cyber ria, u need to bring ur things from ur house and transfer them to ur new house after registration. Then after orientation, u can go back on saturday and come back on sunday to continue bringing ur things. Like for me, I am originally from shah alam and i need to study at melaka. Luck me, my family have quite a number of cars and i can transfer all my things including new bed, cupboard and etc.

During registration, u may wear casual. but during briefing (if can wear formal). But during orientation is strictly formal..

oh i see..

gender discrimination detected.

Only Cyberjaya has the CyberTracker?

yes.. only cyber

Too bad i'll be going to melaka, can't enjoy download with awesome speed.

well 500KBPS - 1.5MBPS, im still happy with the speed. Cox cuber pay extra for the internet speed as well. but we pay lesser for that

Is the download speed fast ? Can i just download anything including songs and movies?

And when can i start moving in the hostel... Seriously urgent, i need to now ASAP

The 1 room 1 race thing sort of sucks to be honest.

Kinda agree with you...

Btw, where can i get to download the cyber tracker software? Can't seem to find it in MMU search

why? i thought it is more convenient for arranging same race in a room?

gavin's phone number is on the first post.

i agree with u

gavin,
meaning 30th May morning is for registration, on the afternoon will be some briefing regarding whats going to happen the next day * for the whole week orientation.

1) finish the briefing can go back home? and come again on 31th May morning for the orientation?
@
2) after the briefing, pack all your needs and settle in the hostel?

if it fall on the (1) option, i just dint want my parent to sending me back on the 31th since their also had their share of work to do..
and if it fall to the second (2) point. im will be troubled since i haven't known whether i already got a room in hostel or not.

sorry for keep asking you question Gavin but really, im quite confused here hope u wont mind explaining things to me and others who might have same issue.

hello,i ques.
in ixora can smoke?

MMU good at E n E engineering ???and i heard that they "saman" male students with long hair... isn't??

I'm assuming you're a guy, would you go for a date with me? Its not gender discrimination, its just I don't date guys.

CyberTracker is a website (intranet) and it is NOT part of MMU Cyberjaya. It is being handled and maintained all by students thus you won't find it in MMU website.
You won't be able to access it until we (degree students) come back to campus which is around June 6th.

We should stop talking about CyberTracker as this is educational essential thread.

smoke till every1 of ur housemates die of lung cancer within a year also can.. no problem..
but as an ex ixora tenant i hated that my housemates smoke in the living room.


saman guys with long hair? i've seen ppl hair as long as girls there!
please la.. not secondary school anymore. but sometimes they sound local girls wearing short pants into campus but allow international students going Man U (give half ball"s").

Actually, there is one time a guy in FIT got saman due to long hair. It was an unlucky day for him as he was there when the security suddenly become "rajin". But the probability that you will is 1 in 1,000,000

But as you said, its no more secondary school. I've seen my classmate in a GREEN hair, just like what you may see in Anime. Lecturers just make fun of him for a few times but no saman at all.

yes, after registration and have briefing.
U may go back and return back to MMU on 31st may. No prob too..

U wont be able to settle the room so fast. I mean, in one day. Maybe after orientation, u pack up ur things little by little?
haha.

Ok, lets make this clear. If u ask me, of course I will encourage each and everyone to join the orientation. Not only u have paid "some amount" in the RM1.8K. But also for u to know how MMU runs. Basically, in MMU, everything is using computer. From course registration until download ur lecture notes. So, orientation allows u to handle everything. I dont see why people do not want to come. I see it like, commit yourself for 5 days and u will survive for 4 years at least.

It is ur call, to come or not to come, but u make sure there is people to help u to register course online (the most important).
So, I would recomend u to stay after registrationa and make sure u settle ur accomodation first. Thats the important one.

Added on May 24, 2010, 2:11 pmthere are dress code to follow. BUt it depends. I have seen ppl dye their hair purple and etc. and the hair super punk. But did not kena anything. just to share, me and the head of security and campus director wanted to go out and have lunch. Then on the way, Major Anba stoped a student (international student) and told her, why her hair is like this. In front of me and the rest of the staff, she told, (sir, I am thinking with my head, not with my hair. So, i do not see it as a problem. With that sentence, she walk away and I laughed). Then as usual, the management will condemn me and other SRC for not having enough awareness. lolx.

Yea, but this is a 1Malaysia country. They won't do that for sure.

I got friends who live with other races during their very first semester in MMU. But the basic idea is one room will have the same race as its more convenient that way. The next semester, you want to change your roomate so all chinese, malay, india, kadazan, dayak, penan and others are all together within the same room, its up to you.
