For your info..
we are trying to survive here in UTP bcoz..

1. final exam only makes up 60% of your final mark, 40% are from tests, quizes, presentations, lab works, tutorials, attendances & etc..so we have to work hard throughout the semester
..and must attend lectures.. (unlike UPSR, PMR, SPM or STPM where there's only 1 final exam)

2. even the cocuricular activities are given marks based on GPA, not grades like A, B, C or D. And the cocuricular activities GPA is included in our CGPA..

3. distance between buildings are far..bicycles, motorbikes & cars are the solutions.. But beware, oil price is increasing (btw, we don't get free oil or discounts even though we are uni petronas students)..and bicycles usually got stolen.. so...walk till you sweat - best solution.

4. wireless connection sucks at times..either it's too slow, dc all of a sudden, or not detected at all..

5. the information resource center (IRC) / library closes during sunday & opens only half day on saturday - where are we suppose to spend our weekend?? (besides going to nearest town - fastest you can reach is 30 minutes - if you drive 100+- km/hr.....or by bus - even walking till the entrance takes so long)

okey..no more complains..

Despite the hecticness and circumstances faced, we are surviving..
This will be our (July 2008 intake) 5th week here in UTP..
Getting to know more people & getting used to the environment here.
So..gambateh!
