wanna see that UTM co-operate with this LUCT in this coming olympiarch...is they really cooperate?

my time lecturer named zatur dont even exist.
u refering to faisal aka the cicak kering? if thats the 4eye skinny faisal u talking about .. i F@rK him once nicely in the staffroom n gettin full attention from all the other staffs, for simply accusing me dont pay attention n dont attend class. im a 100% full attendance student. for the fee that tan sri dato coconut lim charge - one class session average about few hundred bucks. think i go there waste my old man's money??
story goes like this .. another lecturer asked us all to do a mock up model of the brick construction of masjid jamek. i represented the class to ask cicak kering to sign the extension hour to use the studio. dia pulak tak tau terus marah n buat accusation.
another lecturer which i sounded is a fat young lady who teaches interior design. nama dah lupa dah. me n my group member was doing a brick model, and the studio she was suppose to be in was locked. thus she went into the studio im using along with about 18 of her students. me n my member never chatted or made noise, she did her lectures we did our assignment, but suddenly my member's ruler dropped n
she said" can u people behind the column plz get outta my class. kennot see im having a class here!?!?"
i tried to reason with her "sorry, we're not making noises at least not intentionally and besides ur only using half the studio enough for 50 students. plz let us do our work".
n that fatty replied "No! i dont care! out now!"
ok lost a bit of my cool n told her " first this is the architecture studio, urs is beside. u want us out? make us."We continued with our work without giving a damn. her face was black as charcoal haha...

during finals i had to present my design to two lecturers n of all lecturers it had to be those two. damn...im screwed anyway, i manage to present n answer all their questions nicely n cicak said to me "ur cocky but ur good, congrats". my work was among the top placing till he ask me to alter my design a bit, to convince the australian moderators. after amendments i got a bloody C for design thanks to him. well he still shitted me in the end (haha not on purpose la).
i've always thought he wanted to nail me for the cicak vs gigas session at the staffroom but my fren whose in his student group told me that cicak once told their group that i am a talented n reliable student.

nice story..for me, being an architecture student is a challenging task...many things happen because our life is studio life. that really makes special. we have our own office before we start working. it really differs to the other courses...and the other courses students are never understand our life...

Heh, it's gonna be my 1st year at olympiarch this year, but I'm disappointed that UTM limited the number of participants to 30 people.

before this all workshops are limited in no. of participants...can't afford too many participation...there are many schools all around malaysia will come...

since this is the first time you join, it will be great...just learn and observe as much as u can...

hah, that's the faisal i know haha. used to teach me back in UTM b4 he went to join LUCT. and yeah, he can be a prick sometimes.

actually 30 is already a big number. during my time, it was 15 from each major school, and 7-10 from smaller schools. it's not that we dont want to entertain big number of participants, it's the fact we do not have enough facilities to cater for each and everyone. the bigger the number, the problems increase exponentially.

i'll let u come to utm first, enjoy, then probably u'll understand why it must be limited to 30. on estimate, we have about 500 participants + about 1000 observers + 500 hosts. that's management of 2000 people! mati laaa

UTM is the pioneer in arch workshop...it sure can do lah...i'm pretty confident. a senior school in malaysia

just finished my 2nd crit for heritage studies...sleepless until now...normal for architecture student. Anyone prepare animation for olympiarch?

same with my grup,hahaha...talking bout lecturers, each lecturer got different thought, so i u hav 10 lecturers, u got 10 idea migle aorund u during consultation/crit or wateva, whose idea u need to follow hah?if u follow this lecturer, then u got BAMM by other lecturer in crit, u cant blame the first lecturer that u thought his/her idea,thats so damn funny,hehehe...but dun cheat bout construction laaa, like me,coz got no time la nk finish up,hehehe..

that's normal laa. i'll tell u a secret.

lecturers play mind games with u. seriously. they'll fak-up ur mind until u're bone dry. when u crit with person and they suggest u to do something, NEVER take it bluntly. that's the last thing u want to do. coz the next time u crit with him/her, he'll tell u that u dont have a backbone, cant think of an original idea and so on.

what u need to do is to understand what he asks. contemplate, and then consider putting his suggestion into ur design. ask urself why make these changes. once u're satisfied with all the self-reasoning that u did, then u can implement it.

once u do that, it'll be YOUR design. not the lecturer's. so when u the next u go up against other lecturers, u'll be able to defend ur design and not say "that one was suggested by the other lecturer...", coz it's really lame.

thing is, be original. there's nothing lower in architecture than being un-original.

azarimy u heard of a lecturer named Fazidin??

fazidin? oh yeah. he was a lecturer in UTM when i was in the 1st and 2nd year. later he left to join MMU (or something) to pursue multimedia/animation thingy i think. is this the same person we're talking about?

the fazidin who used to lecture me .. told me how frying chow kuey teow would be far better than doin architecture and bout the advise taking care of own ass also told by him.
*rumours ... the fazidin i used to know was all flesh, big n tall, dunno why he dissappeared for a while n became almost faisal cicak-like .. kena jampi kot.. really straight forward guy who dont care bout ppl's feeling. hurt ppl with truth cos the truth hurts. haha

We have to wait for three monts for the accredetation result..hope it will be positive...

One question, i'm going to get my Bsc this July, it is suggested that we work for a year to gain experiences and then come back for part 2, any comment?

Now, i'm thinking of stop for a year and work in any architecture firm and come back for my part 2...gain more experiences

hahaha,gud choices..aku pn keja dulu kot, then br continue blk, otak dh beku gila nk msk notes lg,hehehe....

dont stop for too long. or else u'll be too comfortable earning money. u might also grew too accustomed to repetitious method of working. to be realistic, with part1, u'll be a technical or architect's assistant, never the designer.

u'll spend most of ur days doing technical drawings, production/presentation dwgs, models, site inspection etc. not much designing, especially if u're in big offices. i've seen too many students whom took a break b4 part2 ended up producing dull/repetitious designs which are uninnovative and far from having a slight hint of creativity.

just make sure u dont end up like that

some of my seniors just stop for a year, and that really make them matured to continue in part 2...thatalso told by my lecturer who supervised thesis studies...

anyway, what u're saying is true, if want to gain experiences, do not stop for too long...'niat' kena set awal2

enhance our management skills--> time, how to work smart, methodology etc imo...at least it open up my mind setting if got 'blasah' by office, i dun mind, at least it wake me up from a dreamland,hehehe... camon la mahdi, senireka is waiting for uia students, but careful with those senireka guys, my uncle is their close fren, i know story bout them, but in fact they are good also apa...

yeah...some of my lecturer said that, the most important thing to gain when working is,...how to work or managing our work by our ownself without any speciic guidance from tutors or lecturers...it is an important preparation before continuing to part 2...
