The UM Library - 7th May

UM's Library feels so empty today. Probably its due to the fact that this week is the last final exam for this semester week. Most students would have probably gone home at this moment. Relaxing and enjoying. Well, Masters student don't get the same privilages as degree students. So, no holiday for me...considering also that I'm working as an RA here...

Anyways, there are still some people here in the library, but the amount of students around, if put into my ex-uni (UTHM) library would seem like a lot of students, the main one of course. The other one, called the "New Library", but not supposed to as it doesnt contain all the necessary books to called so, would be some what like a quarter of the UM library floor for a single level. Imagine how big is the UM library.

The New Job - 3th April

I've started my new job today. Now working as a Research Assistant (RA) in Universiti Malaya for Dr.Nor Hafizah. There was nothing to be done at the moment, there was no tasks provided to me yet. So far, I feel quite relaxed here and I'm free to do my research, which is a good thing. But to say frankly, this job is almost like the Uni is paying me to do my research.

UM Life Begins - 17th February

Started to go to Universiti Malaya (UM) here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 17th Febraury. My first location was the UM library. Afetr registering, I proceeded to floors above me. In total, the main UM building has 4 floors, each housing different articles / books / documents. had to take an elevator as I couldnt find the staircase. 1st impression = OMG! Its huge and lots and lots of space. Much much more space than the one they have in UTHM back when I was studying Degree there. The strange thing: I got lost there and I did not know where are everything.

Walked around looking for the books, and I finally had to ask the people there, but at first, still dont know where. I was standing there resting when I looked around, I finally saw the book shelves. 4-storey full of it. Had to climb up to look for my books. Bad thing is: no-air conditioning...It's really hot and stuffy up there...I was swaeting away while looking for my books. Later went to the thesis area to search for my supervisor's theis as referene. Agiain, lots of it.Lunch time came, but didnt eat anyhting as I still do not thea eating places, no proper signs for eating palces....In short, the experience was soomething really different for me compared to UTHM.

But, finally I've stepped into the place that I've always wanted to enter!
I'm really looking foward to my experience in UM!
