Subjects For the Semester...

Finally, I got to register my subjects... :)

I had to change my Bahasa's section as it clashes with my QSBE... Hence, changed instructor as well...

I just attended QSBE lecture so far... all in all, the lecturer is so awesome! He's Asst. Prof. Dr. Spahic Omer. Known for Islamic architecture books and other amazing things... I just can't believe to actually have him as one of my lecturer. well, I did have an awesome lecturer before but he failed me (and other 80+ students) in Molecular Biology, so...

Okay! Time for Cultural and Human Behaviour in the Built Environment class. This is the last lecture by our Asst. Prof. Dr. Zaiton as she's going to enjoy her one-month vacation before flying to Rome, Italy. Wow. Italy...

Au revoir!

It's the Beginning.

It's been more than a week since the semester had started and up until today, I just attended Bahasa classes that I registered for the sake of wanting to do something useful this week...

...while waiting for the the day I'm going to change to Architecture.

Wednesday last week, I went for an interview conducted by the Department of Architecture staffs, Asst. Prof. Dr. Aziah, Asst. Prof. Dr. Syala and  Asst. Prof. Dr. Hamiruddin.

Anyway, the interview went well. I guess... and from that day until today, I was nervous. ...more than ever.

 Why? Because during last semester the faculty decided not to conduct any interview and hence no one was allowed to apply for change of department which resulted 2 people who I went to the interview with had to complete one long semester in their assigned majors, before they can apply to architecture department.

Therefore, I was worried. I checked in with the Head of Department's PA to know when I can get the result and she asked me to wait until today. But I was anxious so I checked in with her again yesterday and only then she assured me by saying that all the lecturers that interviewed me the other day gave me their recommendations.

But I just can stop worrying. It's been 3 weeks since I had a good sleep and I really think I could die of anxiousness. So today, I went to the office again (probably the hundredth of time already), hoping that I can find out the result. Then the Admin Officer gave me a serious face.

She was looking at my transcripts and the signed form and asked me to see the Academic Advisor. "But I already went to see Dr. Zumahiran.." 


 "... I mean Dr. Syala. Your new Academic Advisor..." ...

She said some other stuffs after that but all I could hear was her previous statement, and it kept on repeating and echoing at one corner of cochlea and the interpretation of that information was stuck at some corner of my diencephalon...

I sat there for like 10 minutes, speechless and there I thought. I'm one a lucky person. I called my parents and they rejoice at my victory of securing a place in that department and will fly to Kuala Lumpur to see me.

 Happiness. Undescribable happiness.

 Wish me luck, guys!

Architecture, here I come!
