After an orientation week and also just back from PIMPIN SISWA camp. A camp gave me a lot of fun n experience ^^
Today is my first lesson which is RUS101 in my School of Housing Building and Planning(HBP) lecturer hall E48B. First, I saw Mr. Wan Burhanuddin was already there.
At 9 o'clock sharp, class started. Firstly, he ask any foreign student here. So that is a student from China. He ask why will him came Malaysia. Then ask what is the grade of his English in China, A or B or C? After that, Mr. Wan Burhanuddin ask, " anyone know what is Singlish?" so we know is Singapore English. Then he wan ask the China student know Singlish or not. It is funny because the foreign student sure don know this language and also don know what is Phua Chu Kang's English. At this time, another foreign student which is from Iran come late n Mr. Wan Burhanuddin tell her not to use time in Iran or Thailand. Hahaha...
Mr. Wan Burhanuddin show us a graph (The Graph is taken from USM HBP website).
First he ask who is our Naib Canselor of USM. The answer is Profesor Tan Sri Dato' Dzulkifli Abd Razak.
Next, Mr. Wan Burhanuddin explain this graph to us. The
transformation mean
change. We have to change for the future tomorrow. Then,
Status-Quo mean
the existing state or condition. From 2008, we became a APEX Universiti and had a big jump shown on this graph. (APEX = Accelerated Program for Excellents) Excellent mean GOOD4 because they can be classify into 4 category which is Good, Better, Best and Excellent.
Besides, he was also explained the terms of ' INTENTION (Niat) => ACT (Laku) => PRODUCT (Hasil) => ACTOR (Aktor) => RULE (Aturan) => PLACE (Tempat) '.
- Intention is very important to us. As a student like us, we must having full intention of study to come in Universiti. We must have a clear target to make us achieve it.
- Act is something like performing or doing something to show our thinking.
- Product is what we done or performed, like what we act and wat we get.
- Actor is partner of intention. Because intention need an actor to achieve.
- Rule is some force to control our act. It make every process go smoothly.
- Place is mean our USM!! A good Universiti provided us good performance.
For a APEX USM, we need APEX Intention => APEX Act => APEX Product => APEX Actor => APEX Rule => APEX Place. Mr. Wan Burhanuddin also give us an example relate to World Cup, they need World Cup intention, World Cup actor (player), World Cup rules, World Cup place (stadium).
After this, Mr. Wan Burhanuddin talks about 3P. 3p stand for Principle, People and Place.
Also the same example, as a World Cup player need a FIFA principle rules and play at the right design stadium.
