0900-1200

By looking backward fourteen week, it was the time I leave my hometown to Penang. Penang is very far from my hometown which is at Tampin so I came here with my friend by bus. I feel strangeness because this is just the second time I came Penang. I’m not familiar with the building surrounds and the people. After the registration, we allow went to our own hostel. After clean out my own room, I just know I don’t have roommate and I had to live here alone for one semester. But I didn’t feel scare because it was the time for me to learn how to be more independent.

After one week orientation, it was the time for us to study. I feel very tired because I just came back from Pimpin siswa and don’t have enough sleep. When I entered the class, I don’t have any friend and don’t know what the studio master teaching in front is. Besides, we get the first assignment when we enter the first class that is RUS 101. In this assignment, we had to make own blog and blog out what we had been heard in the class. This is the first time I make this all things and lucky the new friend around was helping me. Besides, we also had to use this blog for our next assignment. For the other classes, the lecturers were telling us their teaching schedule. This all is about the first week classes.

From second week onwards, the entire lecturer had been start their lessons and we will have more assignment. But I had learn a lot of knowledge from this all assignment and that is the good experience for me in this llife. Lecturer had brought us to Taman Rekreasi USM to study the structure of bamboo. We had the opportunity to learn more about the natural structure of bamboo.
We also had created our creativity and innovative to create a story about the structure a bamboo.

For the third week, Lecturer had showing us that every part of bamboo can generate sounds and we were asking to make a bamboo sound tools. Furthermore,there was school orientation but we was giving time to complete our project. In the orientation, We had chances to know more lecturers, senior, friend and create a presentation at night with our group member.

For the fourth week,we also had opportunity to make our own mask. I had been done it in the primary school but it is different from what I’m doing now. In this time, we had to draw out our own skin colour and the mask must same shape with our face.

We also have to practice fast sketching in the classes.

For the fifth week, Lecturer had thought us about the human dimension and we had create our own casket with salong.

We also had to make a black box to occupy six standard balloon for the Merdeka .

For the sixth week,we had to go to the time square and design an event for Merdeka using bamboo sound tools and mask that had been made.This is the first time I walk in this Time Square. In this assignment, Group work is essential to complete the project. All of us was giving owm opinion.

For the seventh week, we also have opportunity to do group work by create a threaterette. There are Malay and Chinese in our group so this is the chances for us to learn unity. We also had chances to attend countdown for Merdeka and I haven't doing this before.

Before the school holiday and Hari Raya, I went to Bukit Jambul with my group member and playing the bowling.
