8 ONE MALAYSIA COMMUNITY CONSTRUCTION


BUKIT JENATON DURIAN Valley

I had joined Bukit Jenaton group. We did water sprinkler and tagging as well. We get the chance to recognise different types of herbs from their physical appearance and fragrance. The water sprinkler system sounds easier than when we did. Basically, we did blend and dance with nature and all of us enjoyed it.

MERDEKA CELEBRATION

I didn't manage to join the merdeka installation and participate myself at times square celebration because my grandma passed away during that time. Wish that I can join them for the celebration.

4B ANALYSIS OF GT SPACES

This can be considered and 'adventurous' project. Group activity. We went to Georgetown (GT) and search for 3 buildings that attract your attention with the same theme. Take pictures of facade, side elevations and back for each of them. And again we need to do some documentation on it in both hard and soft copies. We need to do some survey on the buildings history, size, functions, visible renovation. Lastly, identify a significant ornament and sketch it to be your ic.

Feel so great just by looking at the ancient buildings and how they still manage to stand firmly from all these years. We must really appreciate and preserve the buildings.


4A A NOOK TO INSPIRE

These are some of the photos taken from my nook.


Is outdoor activity. We were required to find and locate a nook (corner) for each of us around HBP area. A nook is a place where you can lay down and relax. Is your own personal space. And we were required to take some pictures on what we can do on our own space. And that space is a SARONG space, meaning the edges of the sarong is the borders for your nook. Make documentation of your nook in power point.

PIMPIN SISWA

PIMPIN SISWA is an orientation camp for all 1st year students in USM. All 1st year students must attend this camp to dicispline themselves and get to know what APEX University is all about. In this 3 days 2 nights camp, the facilitators had tried to stress on 1 MALAYSIA too.

PROGRAM PIMPIN SISWA SIRI 4 2009
PJ SENTOSA CAMPSITE, KUALA NERANG, KEDAH

I had learnt a lot during this camp. Experienced 1st time survival cooking. Night jungle tracking. A talk regarding 1 MALAYSIA. Discussion on sustainable tomorrow and how the ideas and concepts apply on USM. Setting up our own shelter which is the tent. Not to mention there was raining at night.

For sure, we get to know more friends even students from engineering campus joined us at the camp. We enjoyed our time there and in most activities, we work together as a group to strive for the best.From this camp, I realised how much more I need to improve myself. Not just for my own good, but a better future as well.

The facilitators had worked hard to make the camping interesting and at the same time take the students safety as their priority. I must say how much i appreciate their hard work, sacrifice, and everything they had done for us.
This camp is an inspiration and motivation for every students who joined the camp.
