Asasi UIAM : What You Need To Know

Last night, my English lecturer called me for an interview session for her assignment..

Sempat jgk borak2, and aku tanya lar bila sem baru bukak.

She said maybe around 2 or 3 more weeks..

So, why not aku buat entry khas pasal detail apa yg bakal2 CFS IIUM student ni akan face nnt kan.

Not too late I guess..

InsyaAllah I'ma gonna explain as detail as I can..(well, hope I still can remember them)

The entrance..no worry, PakGad ramai yg baik2..Cuma ada jgk yg creepy~

TA'ARUF

Orientasi kat UIA ni kita panggil Ta'aruf aka 'berkenalan' kot..
Ta'aruf kat UIA? Kejap ja, 2 MINGGU..haa, kejap sangat kan..(=.=')

Kita habiskan banyak masa dengar penerangan pasal each department..

Pastu jalan2 keliling UIA..emm..apa lgi..

Oh! Paling penting, EPT (English Placement Test) & APT (Arabic Placement Test)..

Infact, benda ni yg tentukan kita jadi 1 year atau 2 years students..Tp aku suggest jadilar 2 years student..

 

Utk English tu please score sebaik2nya..Supaya dapat level 5 or 6..

Becuz if u got lower level, jadual sem 1 nnt pack, dipenuh-lambaki oleh class English semata2..

Level 6 - Bizi! Mostly buat presentation..Enhance speaking skill (I personally like it though)

Level 5 - Kurang sikit bizi dri lvl 6..Bnyk stadi grammar, writing (according to my rumates)

Utk Arab tu, nasihat aku tulis nama ja ,jangan jawab apa2 pon..Mmg x r kta paham soklan dia en..hehe..So, otomatikly, dengan hati gembira kta akan disumbat ke level 1..best..^__^

English class under Mdm Cynthia..One amazing teacher~

Ta'afur UIA ni lepak jgk la..
Ice breaking? Teamwork? Rubbish..Xdak semua tu..~hemo hemo hemo~

Too social..Plus UIA ni kan mengamalkan Islamic culture, baiah solehah, so ZERO intermingling among diff gender..=)

Tp series, masa 1st week lecture, budak2 baru ni akan nampak sangat noob..

Masa aku jadik senior, rasa nak tegelak jer tengok keskemaan bebudak tu dulu..XD

Dengan nametag yg xpenah lepas, jalan ramai2 senyum2 kambing,jalan tunduk..lucuu~~

Malam penutupan Ta'aruf

Seems happy..

"Dengar2 masa asasi kat UIA nih, kitorang boleh tukar course..Betul tak?"

Well, dulu masa batch aku, it was YES..

Tp, u know, UIA ni selalu tukar2 system dia..So, untuk say YES or NO tu, aku xbrani.

Refer to my entry regarding this matter (here)

STUDY SYSTEM

Kat UIA, akan ada, err..sort of 'society' masing2..istilah yg salah sebenarnya

Contoh : Medical, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Nursing, Allied Health Science - smua under MEDCY

Biological Science & Physical Science - under PRESS

And the others..ENGINE,KAED, MELEX, IRKSS, ECONS

Apa pentingnya benda ni? Eg: Sukan..You will be representing ur 'society' masing2..

Copy of past year compilation paper, akan diuruskan oleh each department..bla3x..nvm, xpenting, yet

UIA mengamalkan sistem pointer..Budak2 SBP, MRSM mmg mahir dh bab ni..

So kids, tiada alasan untuk kamu kecundang masa sem 1 !!!

Yeah, selalunya, bdak2 yg dri sekolah harian xperform masa sem 1 sbb xbiasa dgn sistem pointer nih..

A = 4.00

A- = 3.67

B+ = 3.33

yg bawah2 aku xbrapa tahu

Try our best to get ATLEAST achieve 3.5&above in each semester..

Supaya boleh dapat sijil Dean's list..Boleh tebalkan lgi kta pnya resume..^^

Here are my stories : (sem 1) (sem 2) (sem 3) (sem 4)

Awww..Memory sem 1..=')

 

 

(sem 4 kosong ja board aku..>_<)

For each core subjects, minggu2 akan ada quiz + tutorial yg akan jadi kta pnya carrymarks..

Selain tu, midsem exam pn jadik carrymark jgk (usually 30%).

Carrymark SANGAT PENTING! Aku ulang, SANGAT PENTING!!!

Why? Contoh carrymark rendah, tp final exam semudah mengupas kuaci bunga, we might not get A..

Vice versa, carrymark tinggi, tp final exam susah mau mampus, but still carrymark boleh tolong kta dapat A.. Happened to me masa sem 3 dulu..subject Chemistry II.

So, carrymark sangat pen___?? "tiinnggg~~"

Asasi ni kita still mengamalkan sistem belajar kat kelas..

In class, instead kita gelar 'classmates', kita akan guna 'groupmates' and nama kelas kita, instead guna 'Kelas 5 Zamrud', kita akan guna group..Contoh, group Bio II aku 128, Chem II aku 127..cemitulah lbih krg.

Dalam satu grup tu ada la dalam 20+ org..

Contoh macam aku, MEDCY students akan gabung ngan PRESS..
Sebab syllabus kta sama jaa..(except Physical Science xamek BIO..bersyukurlah kalian)

Phy Science selalunya gabung ngan ENGINE students..

Biology Lab..Aww, tmpt dimana aku patahkan glass n buat bodo..shh..>.<

For ur information, CFS IIUM ni is an English Speaking Campus..err..aku dengar cemtulah~

Languange dalam kelas? Depends on lecturer..

Aku? I ignorantly speak Sabahan in each and every class..heh~

Bantai lar..Madam BI aku pon no hal, lepak jer..hehe

But mostly lecturer akan cakap English la tym ngajar tu..

Lastly, kalau dulu masa MRSM or SBP, kbnyakan kita biasa 'kena suap' kan..

Sini NO, smua atas usaha kta sendiri..
Stadi sendiri, buat latihan sendiri..Independent sket kalau compare zaman kta dulu2..

Contohilah kerajinan ktewrunk zaman dulu2..^_^

MY ADVICE

Tolong tolong tolong rapatkan diri with the lecturers!

Rajin buat consultation dengan diorang.

Ada xpaham, tanya directly diorang kt office.

Dalam kelas kena RAJIN BERTANYA..please, tanyalah hatta sebodoh2 soalan pun..

Toksah risau pasal kwan2 ko kt keliling tuh, diorang bukannya paham mende pong..

Lagi satu, kalau xpaham dalam kelas, jangan tanya kawan ko kat sebelah tu.

Aku sendiri pon xsuka kena tanya mcm2 masa lecturer tengah ngajar kt depan.

Annoying disturbance.

I mean like, "Apa guna madam kt depan tu haa!" *geram* hehe

Indeed, mula2 tu mmg la agak payah sket..Malu tu mmg adat lar.

Tpi kalau dibiasakan, it'll become ur natural habit..

Kat kelas, pedulik hapa aku digelak-ketawakan, pedulik hapa aku cakap slang Sabah, yg pnting aku paham..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sekarang aku graduate dh pon from CFS IIUM, and insyaAllah akan persue Pharmacy kat UIA Kuantan bulan September 2013..

Aku bersyukur sangat sebab terpilih utk jadi one the student from CFS IIUM..

I learnt a lot of things there..

Kalau free, do read this too => (sini)

p/s : Do ur best..^__^..

Important News To All Bakal Student Asasi UIA 2013 (Pharmacy Especially)

IMPORTANT THINGs

Sem final ni, aku 'encounter' several important events yg perlu aku share.

1. Interview pharmacy

Yeah, start batch aku pharmacy students akan ada interview..Sebab, dengar2 Pharmacy tukar Dean, a doctor..So, dia akan meng'strict'kan lgi Kuliyyah of Pharmacy masa kat main campus nnt..
And did you know? : 

Pharmacy students are the bussiest students in UIA Kuantan!

What da...Kebizian medical student still beyond my imagination, apatahlagi course aku nih..

Even setakat asasi quiz seminggu sekali pon aku separuh nyawa, inikan quiz EVERY SINGLE DAY??

Back to the interview, urm..It went well..Aku kena partner ngan si Ros, kebetulan classmate aku jgk.

Turn aku yg last2..So, interviewers tu bosan sdah..Aku kena tanya satu soalan jaa, "Why do u want to become a Pharmacist?"..Ouh, aku jawabla guna skema jawapan aku yg penuh kejujuran ittew...(>3<)

Then habis..err....very bunyi cengkerik~
And actually I did refer back to my old entries pasal interview tips etc (sini)..
Aku sendiri pon lupa pasal teknik2 interview nih..Pastu ada pulak kawan2 aku accidentally terbaca blog aku..Malu seyh..X)

2. Biasiswa JPA yg makin strict

Before this all critical course students (Medic,Dentistry,Pharmacy) akan otomatikly ditaja oleh JPA despite their result..So, here are 2 bad news..

i) Pharmacy no longer a critical course

ii) Critical course students no longer otomatikly ditaja, tpi akan di'sort based on result asasi/matriks/bla3x..

Means, syarat layak memohon = 3.50 & above

Tapi untuk exactly dapat biasiswa tu still depends on kuota..(IPTA+IPTS SEMALAYSIA)

Can u understand what I'm trying to say here? Means, 3.8 pn still xmenjanjikan dapat JPA scholarship or not..! Very bad news aint it..

What I felt when I first heard the news? Jawdrop instantly...


3. Sesi-Tukar-Course not as easier as before

Batch aku adalah yg terakhir dapat tukar course sewenang2nya..
Batch baru ni, masa taaruf (orientasi) sudah xboley tukar mcm dulu..
You have to wait for ur 1st semester result to come..
In fact, utk course Medic,Dentistry,Pharmacy, u can only apply lepas sem 3 sebab UIA mau tengok CGPA utk 3 semester..

CGPA layak Medic/Dentistry = 3.95 & above

CGPA layak Pharmacy = 3.80 & above

(susah kan!)

Untuk course lain aku xberani cakap, sebab UIA ni selalu tkar2 system..
Better contact them directly..

To Conclude

Pandai2 korang la survive..hehe

Gudlark..harharhar

p/s : ada soalan mudah, tanya aku kat (sini)..Kalau aku boleh jawab aku try ok..^_^

Asasi UIA - 4th Semester + The Result

Aku pemalaaas!! Aku pemalaaas!! Aku pemalaaas!!

Arrrrrrggghhhhhh~~

The 4th n final semester was my bussiest semester ever!!

Dengan assignment yg berlambak..

Dan masa tu jugaklah spirit study aku suddenly lesap! I mean, please, not nooowww! O_O'

Before this in my previous semesters, I did said that aku makin pemalas..

Tapi sem ni lagi lagi lagi malas..Aiyyoo..

Aku sebok ber'procrastinating dengan........

Online? bukan..

Baca novel? bukan...

Kuat tidur? bukan...

berKpop? bukan...

Tapi aktiviti pling xberfaedah : melepak  *chring chring*

(thanks to Wan Telur yg setia menjadi peneman aku melepak borak2 buang masa..haha)

Silap aku..sebab memang before this aku nekad yg final sem ni aku mau relaks2 sket..
Kononla sebab kan ini sem terakhir, "lepak laarr"..  :-/

Dandan memang begedik santai lar aku kat bilik..

Gedik,cek..santai,cek

Kalau dulu, meja study tu lah jadi my best buddy..

Tapi sem ni memang tak arhh..

Tambah2 bilik aku yg makin sejuk depan padang..(depan jer, turunnye x..>.<)

Katil empuk jd my new bestie, baring2 merenung ceiling berspider-web..

"Quizzez?? Blatantly TERUK!"

"MidSem results?? Outrageously HINA!"

Enaf enaf..terhina sgt dh ni.. :'(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Study

Penat sedih2, jom kita sembang2 pasal my study this semester..

Sem ni, sabjeks-sabjeks yg aku ambek are : Biology II, Math II, Understanding Islam dan English for Academic Purpose.

Dengar nama sabjek pn terrifying enough kan..Yet they are!

Biology II - Susah tapi best. My faveret subtopics are Immune System, Biotechnology & Hormone. "Korang2, menarik kan?!" kata Mdam Shafiyyah.. (klw mdm,ape je yg xbest)

Mathematics II - Err, kadang2 susah..Tpi aku kan minat Math..so, boleh la jgk..Alhamdulillah xbeban.

Understanding Islam - S.U.S.A.H..Padahal stadi Pndidkan Islam ja..Tp, entah, dia exam-oriented kan..agak payah jgk~

E.A.P - Buat research..Mula2 tu blur jgk, tp lama2 best..seryes..Tp bnda ni leceh.. lalala

Ngan ustaz Zizi yg 24tahun sangat..XD

The girls

cik Hanis ngan cik Wahida

With lovely Mr Skeleton =)

=======================================================================

The Hostel

Scarily, this semester, kami ada sorang rumate baru..And he indeed scary!

Chey..hehe..xlar scary, cuma dia, cana erk..Baik jaa, tp, err.. scary (?)..ntah lah..  

Dan di bilik aku slowkan volume suara aku kalau menyanyi..Takut dia marah..ngehehe

Tapi kat tandas, haaa, mmg aku all out nyanyi lagu Whitney Houstan..harharhar

Pedulik hapa aku..Junior je poonn yg share tndas ngan kami..Tpi smua tegap lagi menakutkan..

Whatever, senior rulez..>_< 

 
========================================================================

The Result

 Tanpa segan silunya, aku isytihar target aku utk final sem nih, aku mesti dapat atleast CGPA 3.90.

 (Over tak?) >.<

Yelarh, JPA bukan senang woo..U know, quota bla3x~

Tp benda ni mmg sgt2 sukar, sebabnya, dengan menggunakan kemahiran aku mengira pointer sejak form4, pointer paling tinggi aku boley capai pon 3.897...

Paling tinggi uolls..nguweek

Midsem

Aku still ingat markah2 MidSem aku arituh...

Math -> Alhamdulillah dapat 84%..Dapat jgek A-

Bio -> A- 76%..no komen..=_=

UI -> Complete Massacre! 14/20. Mmg punah harapan gua tuk dpt A msa final..wuwu

Honestly midsem senang..yes, including Bio & UI..*walaupon

Berbunga2 ja masa jawab paper..

So, agaks cekewa cikit jugek dgn result..

Well, takdir Allah..I believed there will be hikmah behind all this..

Makin rajin mengkali??

Rajin? heh.. Mmg tak arh~

Finale

However, Alhamdulillah, despite my laziness + menyesal kejap2, aku dapat jwb paper final dgn bahagianya.*wink (Tp tulah, takut peristiwa midsem berulang~huhu)

Math : Sabjek ni mmg target A insyaAllah..Carrymark,ok..Tersemat harapan dictue~

Bio : no komen...=_=..Carrymark, terendah dlm sejarah aku kt UIA..haha

UI : Carrymark aku alhamdulillah sgt..Walaupun midsem rendah, presentation+assignment bnyk mmbntu. Dan aku paling happy, aku suka sgt2 paper final! Dia guna format baru, more to critical thinking..Mmg aku goreng maut lah part essay..insyaAllah, ada harapan g..

OK enaf dengan ayat2 merapu aku, here is the result..

Math --> A

Bio --> A-

UI --> A

EAP --> A-

GPA  = 3.863

Tapi yg paling membuatkan aku hepi gila2, aku pnya CGPA.

3.914

Ok, mata tebeliak kejap..O.O

I was soo shocked yet soo happy!

Mati2 aku risau dulu..but Alhamdulillah..

Walaupun dgn usaha aku yg xseberapa (MALAS tepatnya), but still the final outcome is beyond my expectation..

Rezeki Allah semata2..I believe that this is among the hikmah of my previous failure~

Moral of the story : Sabar & Redha, Allah is there..^_^

Well, that's all I wanna share..Throughout my entire life in UIA, I feel soo blessed by the bounties given by Allah..Alhamdulillah~ =)

Lab terakhir yg mmg terakhir
