03/11/2009 marks the end of our third semester, our first year in UiTM Shah Alam, as we finished our last exam paper, TSL485 - Applied Phonetics & Phonology. How time really flies, and now we're heading to our fourth semester already! And here's the review of our third sem!
♫ ♪ ✰ ٩(●̮̮̃•)۶ ✰ ♪ ♫
HBU111 (National Kesatria 1)
✰ The fearful Saturday morning activity: Marching practice from 8-10am. Other activities included seminars, PERKAD, KEBINA, physical test, writing test. Although it's not one of our favourite activities, yet we benefited a lot from it, especially in making new friends and gaining some new experiences. :)
BEL422 (Report Writing) - Taught by Mdm Jeba Ebenezer
✰ Mdm Jeba is just funny (and she has great hair!) but kind of strict on us in doing our research project. The course will help us a lot in doing academic studies in the future. As for the group I was in, if you remember Mdm Jeba, you'll remember our class monitor, Nazri...*wink*wink*
EDU550 (Educational Psychology) - Taught by Mdm Nadia Ainuddin
✰ Mdm Nadia is such a nice, gentle, motherly and calm lecturer, even though everybody was kind of blurred when she asked questions. As the course name implied, I guess we were 'psycho-ed' everytime we were in her class because of too many inputs (and maybe less outputs? :P)
TSL480 (Oral Communication) - Taught by Mdm Syahreena Shahrom
✰ The most feared thing of all: public speaking! Throughout this course, we had to deliver two speeches: informative and persuasive speech. This is a no-joke matter, especially with the strict Mdm Syahreena in giving marks.
TSL485 (Applied Phonetics & Phonology) - Taught by Mr Suthagar Narasuman
✰ "Yes, no, not sure?" Favourite phrase from Mr Suthagar, who is very laidback and relax. This is a very difficult course (and fearful), apart from Educational Psychology, and the assessments included group project, individual presentation and final examination.
TSL520 (Teaching English Through Drama) - Taught by Ms Munirah Mohd Izam
✰ I think majority of us enjoyed TSL 520 the most because for this course, we did miming, MTV making, readers' theater and final drama production; not so much of the ordinary, boring lectures. Being in the 3-hour class sure is tiring but thanks to Ms Munirah (or her glamorous name, Ms Moon) for being a sporting and laid-back lecturer.
Third Language:
BMD401 - Mandarin 1 (Taught by Ms Teh Hong Siok)
BKR401 - Korean 1 (Taught by Mdm Tiara Baek-Ji-Yeon)
BFR401 - (Taught by Mr. Alexander Xavier)
BAB401 - Arabic 1 (Taught by Ustaz Sahabudin Salleh)
✰ 25 of us have chosen between these four languages, with majority are taking Mandarin. The acquisition of a new language is difficult and challenging at our stage; what's more, our 2-hour class was in the afternoon which tired us out fast. The assessments for this course included oral, listening, writing tests and short clip production in the respective languages. But it's kind of fun, learning a new language and later use it in the future. :)

Other activities we had included
Buka Puasa Night, Raya Open House and a lot of outings, e.g. KL city, Sunway Lagoon, etc.!
Yup, it has been a wild and hectic semester as we juggled up 7 subjects/courses in less than 6 months' time. At the same time dealing with a lot of problems, dilemmas,
hardships, etc. But of course, not forgetting all the happy and joyful moments we had with the lecturers and our new friends from IPKB!
THANK YOU to all the
lecturers, our
IPKB friends/coursemates and my
Gaya brothers and sisters! And together we strive against another challenging semester!
