1st: i can safely say around 65% of toa student communicate in chinese, around foundation year if u do go into the first or second class you are safe just by communicating in English but as you progress to your 2nd year where you will get mix around with the other classes where they mainly speak chinese you'll be screwed like some of my class mates as they cant communicate well with their team members during group project which will come during the 3rd year. (so pick up chinese which will be damn helpful)
2nd: Get the library card for a deposit of rm100 immediately as the library have tons of book for reference and tutorials (self learn is the key to survive in our world)
3rd: stock up on your coffee and hot soups for late nights work (if you are lucky) normally after their third sem in foundation year students will have already master the skill of not sleeping for a day or so, as u progress higher to 2nd and third year u will learn how to sleep for a maximum of 3 hours daily hahaha (thats in my batch of course)
4th: get your work done by saturday's as college, lecturer, print shops are always close on the weekend. so u'll be screwed if you have a date line on monday morning and cant print or ask for advise on it on sunday.
5th: enjoy your foundation year as best you can (join all the outings, filed trip, installation activities, seminars, design conference), after the second year u'll be pretty much stuck at home doing all this crap.
all the best bro haha
Nawww. I'm pretty much terrified now. Hahaha, I decided to go to TOA because they have the exact course that I want. Lim Kok Wing, whilst I don't have to worry about communications, they don't have the course. (Illustration with Comic). I very much doubt I'd be able to speak or understand Chinese any time soon. @__@ How did some of your classmates cope with that? How about the non-Chinese? I mean, are they really screwed just because they can't understand Chinese? Sigh.
Also, about the lack of sleep per day, I can manage. I've had insomnia like since I was in Form 2. Hahaha, hardly more than 4 hours per day. Sometimes not even an hour. :/
Anyways, thank you so much for your long reply. I really appreciate your help! x
