hehe..not really..i think the social life bubye for a while to finish the work..after submission..
yeay..enjoy again with frens and family..
and i myself still have a time to join a society,but yes i cant give full participation.
but the main point is, we can do what ever we want 2:P but the important is time management right..
but mayb it is not the same if we r working field..huhu..

but i have a few prob in terms of design..im in 2nd year now..and i got the same critic during the 1st year..
they say that i have a good idea..the idea is there..but i didnt have the 'umphh' in my design yet..
both r different assessor but both use 'umpphh' (and the assessor is not my lecturer)..i really hope that im not gonna listen the same not-so-umphh-design-yet next sem..fobia with the word umphh already..haha

any advice? i do have a lots of archi mag as design reference..d+a,am,space,blueprintasia..huhu..
n i love to consult with lecturers but sometimes i find out that they arent helping much..usually they end up with the design is ok dah..the solution is ok dah..huhu..but during the crit..kene belasah jugak la..huhu.. ..how to get the design from 'ok dah' to this is a 'umphh' design?

i like to join society a lot coz i can interact more with other courses student..i thing that the only way i can socialize and make my eyes open a liltle bit that there is a lot of other things that i dont know..huhu..
for example listen to human science student talking bout political..economic student talking about boom n bear recent economy ..engine student talking bout construction in detail,mechanicsm..
i gain a lot from it..since im just sit in the studio do my drwng..huhu
and sometimes their idea's are good too..
but i guess next sem gonna be harder and tuffer..i need to reduce my social life a bit..haha..

Do I need to take Arabic Language to study in UIAM?

there will be 2 test after entering the matric/currently central for foundation studies(cenfos)..arabic and english..if u past arabic then no need to learn arabic anymore, but if u failed..u have to learn it, but for archi student very basic one..almost level sekolah rendah agama..and only need to pass..didn't count in cgpa..but u can apply to learn more..

same goes with english..it determine in which level ur english..and the level of english also determine how many years you will stay at the matric/cenfos..usually either one or two years..(so if add up 6/7 years br grad )

in addition, at the cenfos, the design subject didn't focus on architecture studies only..u will learn combination of all course such as landscape,applied art,and others..then at the end of the foundation there will be an assessment to determine are u qualify enuf to proceed in architecture at Main campus gombak. if not you may end up in other courses such as quantity survey,urban regional and planning, applied art (which is later on u can major in interior design,conservation or industrial design) and landscape (or maybe other university also ).

*p/s :im not sure if there are any changes in the curriculum due the accreditation recently..this is based on experience and previous system *
