UTAR Orientation day 3 & 4

I wanted to update as soon as possible but well, procrastinate a bit :p

Day 3:
I reluctantly went for the talk in the morning. This time i was lucky,i can sleep till 8am because i dint fetched my bro to his school. Dont worry, he is not walking to school, since his fren's father is fetching them. At least i am more awake when i attended the talk.

The talk start at 9.30am and it was a HOD talk. HOD as in head of department. I went to DK1 for mathematical science talk since actuarial science was under MS. Heard about the procedures, lecturers intro, courses intro blah blah till 10.45am. Btw MS consists of Actuarial Science, Financial Maths and Applied Maths.
The Career talk proceeded afterward when the Mr Simon Lam, Chief Actuary of HSBC Takaful something arrived. Well, quite informative for future actuary.

We had around 1 and a half hours break after the talk was over around 12pm and then proceed for the Soft Skill talk that started at 2pm. Waited for half an hour and we were informed that the speaker cant made it. Wth, we were FFK-ed :( Worse thing is, the soft skill will be replaced on the next day, before the Ice breaking event. Thats a whole freaking bad new for me, as I thought I can finally slack off on thursday and planned to finish the ptptn stuff like create public bank acc and buy pin number from BSN.

The mass call event started at 3.30pm when the Utar president and the rest of thr VIPs arrived. Utar president gave a speech for around half an hour or mayb more, then the end. Woohoo! Finally can go back.
Reached home around 5.30pm, walao eh! Damn tired haiz

Day 4:
Struggling to think about i should go or not when the alarm rang at 6.10am. Utar implemented USSDC cert, something like u participate in those program that involves soft skills such as communication skill, writing, public speaking blah blah, Utar-rians can claim points for that and during the graduation, we will receive the USSDC cert. It is stated if freshmen have 100 % attendance, they can claim points. After a few mins of struggling, i decided to go, since i already went for all except this soft skill talk. My decision was right. During the talk, we were informed that freshmen who attended all the talks will receive 15 points. Phew...
FYI, 100pts =pass, 101-115pts = merit and 116-125 pts = distinction. There are 2 ways of claiming points,  participate in the programs organised by soft skill department ( need to pay, standard chinese management,lol) or something of UTAR or participate in those co-curriculum activities that are recognised by UTAR. This USSDC thingy is not compulsory, but encouraged to do so.

After that talk, went for the ice breaking. I wanted to escaped but accidentally registered, dunno what was i doing T.T . Well, whats done is done, just go and have fun, oh it rhymes, hahahahaha. Played till 3pm and i had fun, at least i get to know more friends.

There is always a price to pay when we have too much fun, for me, i cant finish my ptptn registration on time T.T. Friday wesak, bank will not open the door for me, sat as well. Argggggggggggggggg

The PTPTN fella will come on 2nd of June to UTAR, so i gotta finish up this mess on 31st may or latest 1 June. Plsss let me have spare time on 1st of June at least, since monday i dun think i have time for it after i saw my timetable. T.T x2

till den
