owh2. sorry. i'd forgot about the last sentences in your previous post.

so, UTM diploma student will be entering straight 3rd year degree.

while poli and other diploma will be entering the 2nd year.

matric, stpm will be entering 1st year. i see...

so. i finally get it.

UTM diploma student take 6 years to complete degree.
Poli and other diploma take min 7 years.
matric take 6 years.
stpm take 7 years.

i see. my father was ok with me going into poli. although he always wanted me to be engineer. just that, my mom don't like it. because to her, poli have no class. die ckp saya buat malu keluarga je kalo pegi poli. many of my teacher and friends saying that it'll be stupid for me to reject matric and go to poli. kawan2 mak pun sama. sumer duk suruh mak jgn bg saya pegi poli. biasak r org pompuan. potpetpotpet. ni x baik, tu x baik. nnt bile dh loaded suruh gak minang anak die. haha. pdulikkan ape yg sy melalut. because, my brother is doing his medic in egypt under MARA. she also think that architecture is even lower ranked than engineering. hard to convince her. If possible, i want to enter architecture from matric because it'll save me 1 year. but, even if i get into architecture from matriculation, with no basic in art, i afraid that i might have a very hard time in degree.

but, right now, until i can convince my mother. i'll be pursuing architecture using matriculation route. right now, i afraid that i'll not able to catch-up matriculation syllabus.

sbenarnye takut gak nk tolak prmintaan mak. bukan pe. takut nnt kalo bwat perkara x diredhai mak nnt x dpt keberkatan. tu r. mne tau, sbb mak x suke saya bwat architecture, nnt tetiba saya xdpt bawak pelajaran.

@azarimy. is there any possibilities for poli student who perform very well in their diploma to skip into 3rd year instead of entering it in 2nd year?

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
I just checked the mohe web and I GOT THE INTERVIEW on this Sun!! *beams* XD
...sorry. couldn't control myself. i simply Have to tell someone >___< cos' i honestly thought i wasn't going to get the interview after all >____<
(um. sorry to interrupt your conversations...ignore me ignore me XD)

I've been reading around for architecture. there are a lot people complaining about assignment to be done. But i don't mind to do many assignment as long  I can make it right.

Normally, for diploma students, what assignment do they usually have in the first year or first sem? those who already have experience studying architecture or right now studying architecture are encouraged to reply. thanks in advance. I studied "lukisan kejuruteraan" subject during my spm years. will it be applied in architecture?
@azarimy. Is it true that sometime lecturer from university come to politeknik to give lectures?
sorry for asking to much question.

who earn more? naval architect or building architect? from what i know, if normal architect pursue naval architecture field, he'll have some problem for his part 3.

edited: do construction like SMART tunnel & projects Dam requires architect or it just the engineer to design it?

added: hey. i found this link. haha. it's like the sims do try their design studio.

Architect Studio 3D

hehe XD (okay, still in the hyperactive/overjoyed mode)

(oh and to Destroyer: yes, i just did STPM last year, going into undergraduate studies )

i went to the UKM interview last Sat (2 days, er, *glances at the time*, no, 3 days ago) and the interview this Sun is from UTM~~ ^^

but i didn't get the interview from USM though (which falls on this coming Thursday, my friend got the phone call). but then USM is my third choice so...guess i sort of saw it coming ><

neeeway, too happy now. not sure whether i can sleep tonight 

oh ya, opinions opinions: in the surat tawaran we were only asked to 'membawa alat tulis seperti pencil 2B, getah pemadam untuk ujian melukis'. but a senior of mine (currently 1st year in UTM Arch ^^) told me when her batch was invited for the interview last year they were specifically asked to bring one coloured drawing and one sketch. so...any particular reason for the change in this year's interview? do you think i should bring some drawings? not that i have any right now...but if i Have to...i mean, if there are advantages...

hi, azarimy

thanx for ur response. well, i'm not so sure whether UiTM accepts students from IIUM foundation center, but recently i've heard that some students from here are accepted to UTM in architecture. (or is it UiTM? i can't really remember if it's UTM or UiTM. hehe..)

and i suppose, other unis might as well do the same don't they? do correct me if i'm wrong, though.

u mentioned in your response that i can still apply for UiTM's diploma program. so, i'm wondering whether i should apply online or by post? because unlike any other last year's SPM candidates, i took SPM in 2006. so, can i still apply for their diploma program then?

will the process be the same as applying for the UPU just like i did last 2 years?

and, can i still apply for UiTM's 2nd intake when i didn't apply for the 1st one?

do u know what's the requirement for UiTM's ID diploma or degree program?
p/s : i'm sorry for asking too many questions..   i'm just confused and i don't know who to turn to for the guide, except u.

as far as i know, UiTM don't have diploma program for architecture. they only have straight to degree. no diploma.

meaning, that you'll be entering their Part 1 degree program instead of diploma.

mybe Sir Azarimy can give better explaination.

I have a question that I would like to ask out of pure curiosity;

Does UTM Kuala Lumpur accept non-SPM students into their diploma programs; students who graduated from private and international high schools? (EG. The Garden International School and such...)

this is the synopsis i get from politeknik website about their Diploma Seni Bina program.

what do you think about the exmple of the syllabus in it sir azarimy? is it a standard syllabus for architecture? i know that every school have different syllabus. what do you think about poli syllabus?

sir azarimy,
let's say if i do apply for UiTM's ID diploma later, and if i'm accepted, will they put me in the 1st year of the diploma program or straight to the 2nd/3rd year program since i've taken a foundation in IIUM?

oh,ok, i'll google the requirements right away. *giggle*

and by the way, out of my curiosity, what courses are u studying in PhD of archi? and from which uni did u get ur diploma and degree from?

and my last words for now, pls pray for me that i'll be accepted for IIUM ID's degree. it'll be much easier that way. 

Thanks azarimy!! will go search for them now~~ 

and also one more thing. i've been trying to search for forum or sites that give comments on buildings, i.e. its practicality, influences towards the surroundings, etc but to no avail. are there sites like those? or maybe discussion forums? i read about the design of the umno penang building (by TR Hamzah & Yeang) and have some questions on it...

gosh...

based on my reading. all architect are marvelous people. they not only an architect, some are even well known engineer, musician, writer and famous artist.

@azarimy. since you're an architect, how do actually architect become master in more than one profession?

for example. there are many architects that is also a great engineers. do their learning during architecture studies enhance or give them special abilities of solving problem or create a new thing?

how do architect build the skills that is not directly involved in their profession such as engineering skills?

you've mention once that an architecture consists of 3 parts art, 4 parts science, 3 parts social skills. do this part help build up their engineering skills? or is it because they are awesome thinker. who always want to make world a better place to live?
