Last but not least, walaupun blog post saya ni agak annoying(maklumlah masa saya tulis post ni umur baru 18 tahun,muda lagi jadi tulisan pun tidaklah sematang sekarang hehe) tapi make sure baca sampai habis tau, in shaa Allah ada info2 yg boleh membantu korang semua.  Assalamualaikum and have a very nice day:D

Assalamualaikum gaiss,actually masa sy tgh tulis entry ni sy merupakan salah seorang pelajar di Kolej Mara Kulim yg bertempat di Kedah. Emm macam skema sngt bak hangg penulisan iolss ni uhuks. Ok so nk disenangkan cerita harini hakak akn explain sikit la apa itu Foundation In Science and Technology atau pun digelar FIST UniKL ni and apa yg special sngt pasaii program ni. Hamboi mai habaq dlm bahasa Kedah pulak hakak ni biaq asai Kelantan nun jaa huhu.

So yg pertama sekali adalah pasal Kolej MARA Kulim. Main tang celah mana asai usui keturunan dia ni haha. Jadi Kolej MARA Kulim ni dia punya bangunan lebih kurang macam matrikulasi yang bwh kerajaan tu cuma kecik sikit jer sbb satu,dulu bangunan kat sini asal dari MRSM so quite lama lah tapi skrg dah upgrade dah n second,student kat sini lebih kurang seribu lebih je and yg plg menarik student kat sini dtg dari pelbagai program. Kolej MARA Kulim atau Kmku ni ada 4 jens program yg disediakan which are:

-Foundation In Science and Technology(UniKL)

-Matrikulasi(Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia,KPM)

-Pra-U,Universiti Malaysia Kelantan(UMK)

-Pra-U,Universiti Sains Malaysia(USM)

Itulah secara amnya. Kalau ada budak2 yg selain UniKL ni yg tersentap sbb hakak tersalah bagi info psl program diorang,hakak mohon forgiveness bebanyak yer. Disebabkan hakak ni warga UniKL jadi entry hakak hanyalah berkisarkan pengalaman hakak semasa menjadi student UniKL je,okayy?? Basically dekat Kmku ni nak kata besar tahap gaban,best tahap gaban tu xla jugak cuma apa yg hakak tahu and rasa la since I got in here,fasiliti semua cukup and pensyarah semua baik2. Hah knp xpercaya,u did not trust hakak ni? Come here first and u will see what I saw haha even hakak ni bdk UniKL but I sometimes or usually la jgk hang out with lecturers from USM since they are very nice to me n since hakak ni major in Biology.

Okayy before uolss pening mabuk todi bagai let me explain u further about FIST UniKL programme. Firstly,FIST UniKL ni dibahagikan kpd dua cabang,which are:

-FIST UniKL(Engineering)

-FIST UniKL(Science)

Untuk Engineering bebudak ni tak ambik subjek Biology and untuk bebudak Science pulak,they did not take Physics as one of their compulsory subjects. Senang cerita,sesiapa yg ambil engineering dia drop Biolgy and for those who take Science,they will not learn Physics AT ALL. I repeat ok AT ALL and hakak is proudly said that I am a Science student hewhew.Katakanlah korang dpt tawaran FIST UniKL Engineering korang mmg excited la kan nk msk sbb bnyk kelebihan kalau program under UniKL ni but korang xsuka fizik or kononnya nk acah2 jdi doktor mcm dlm Grey's Anatomy tu kan so korang daftar jer dulu after that boleh jumpa dgn pensyarah yg terlibat utk tukar course sama jugak dgn yg dri Science nak pergi ke Engineering. 

Lagi satu sebelum korang register tu tak payah nk berdebar sngt la pasal mcm mana sistem pembelajaran dia nnti bcos lecturer kat sini yg mengajar UniKL ni seciput je,x ramai. Akak bkn ckp lecturer sini siput tau,akak ckp they are just a few nnti kang xpasai2 MARA tarik elaun hakak(mapos la akak). So it is really easy for u to recognize them and they're very friendly.If u have anything to ask or seeking for advice u just can simply go meet them,asking their advices in studying or even in career or course field esp Cg. Engku(Lecturer Math kt org utk bdk science).

Okay then about keistimewaan as UniKL student. For your information,yuran pendahuluan masa mula2 akak daftar sini just RM550 kalau lebih sikit pn xlebih RM700 ni utk satu sem and next sem pulak just RM350 jer okayy and setiap bulan MARA akn bagi elaun RM100 sorang,basically semua akn dpt tapi lambat sikit la sbb bnyk prosedur katakau. Makan 5 kali sehari tau tak uolss gemuk hakak kat sini habis melompat-lompat lemak iolss. 

Start with breakfast around 6.30 a.m till 8 a.m.,lps tu dlm pkl 10 a.m.-10.30 a.m which is our short break and they serve like minum ringan which is tea or coffee with kuih muih or sometimes mee kuah and laksa. After that lunch gonna be at 12.30 till 1.30 p.m. which is also our second break and dinner at 6.30 p.m. till 8 p.m and last but not least is supper or makan lewat malam(yg ni la yg buat ak boncit ni huhu) around 10 p.m. till 10.45 p.m. And korang xpyh la nk tergedik-gedik,terkinja-kinja tgk menu nnti sbb semuanya mewah2 chuollss.Hakak ni sejak ddk sini rasa nk muntah bila tgk chicken chop dgn nasi ayam dh selalu sngt makannya. Supper tu selalu jugak la pekena makaroni goreng dgn daging and hot dog berlambak,kdg2 spaghetti bolognese kayy kerlass gitu dan time2 dia tradisional mcm kari ayam dgn roti,laksa and burger mcm tu lah. Same goes with breakfast,tea break and lunch. Everything is gempak. Tak sia2 hidup kau stay sini dik,trust me haha.(RIAK TAHAP FIRAUN KAU)

Cerita psl fasiliti pulak,Kmku ada dua dewan makan which is one for the girls and one is for the boys but this year diorang xguna dewan makan lelaki katanya sbb student sikit jer thn ni n tak pasal2 hakak ni dgn member2 hakak yg muka kalah terrorist terpaksa berkongsi dewan makan dgn jejaka2 yg acah2 ensem tahap Jack Titanic tu kahkah. Tapi so far ok la xde la sampai bertumbuk-tumbuk nk ambik makanan sbb diorang dh separate tempat perempuan and lelaki pick up their food yg paling teruk pn kucing je gaduh tu je la hehe. Macam sistem hostel la,lebih kurang. 

And Kmku ada dua cafe satu before dewan makan n satu lagi atas dewan makan which is sebelah KOOP. Dah xpyh nk acah2 arkitek kau nak agak2 mana longitud dgn latitud tempat tu semua,over je haha masuk kolej ni nnti ha kau pusing la dik satu kolej sbb semua fasiliti ni dalam satu lingkungan kecil je. Blog2 akademik bersambung so dkt situ la lecture hall(xbesar mana pun sbb student xramai,jgn dok imagine mcm lecture hall uitm ye),kat situ la lab,kat situ la kelas2 tuto,lab computer,office,bilik guru,and dekat hujung bangunan terletaklah KOOP dan cafe. 

So kat KOOP ni macam2 ada jual,top up,wifi(RM 20 je satu bulan) and all sorts of merchandise and food and beverages for students. Cafe belah KOOP ni pulak standard dia jual ice blended,milkshake,hot dog,fries,wedges dgn keropok je. Memandangkan ada jgk yg riak,takabur dan tamak tidak bersyukur dgn makanan free yg disediakan(kata org ak pn sama kahkah),cafe yg akak ckp before dewan makan tu ada jual nasi campur,kuih muih,roti,nasi bungkus and nasi lemak time pagi2 and belah malam pulak ada masakan panas so kalau ko rasa ko kaya sngt ha kau pergi la habiskan duit elaun kau dkt situ.

But usually,kitorang akn beli makanan masakan panas ni dpn kolej yg mana dkt kedai kak sah and satay house. Makanan diorang mmg murah and sedap di tunas rasa. Cuma jauh la korang nak kena jalan sikit. And Kmku ni rules dia ketat sikit. Setiap hari,korang boleh keluar beli makanan dkt kedai2 dkt luar tapi from pkl 5 kalau xsilap until pkl 6.30 jer lps tu pandai2 la ye tpi kedai2 tu semua dkt je korang just kena lintas jalan jer. Itu je,xmati pn dik huhu. 

Outing ada sistem giliran sbb takut la ada yg nk buat maksiat plak kan(opps maaflah kalau sentap ye),so outing adalah setiap hari Khamis and Sabtu.So this week kalau girls outing Khamis,boys outing Sabtu and next week pulak tukar boys outing on Thursday while girls on Saturday. Cuti pulak adalah pada Jumaat n Sabtu. Kelas pulak adalah from Ahad to Khamis. Tapi hari Ahad to Rabu,kelas start pkl 8 pagi n habis pkl 4.30 ptg but for Khamis je kelas habis pkl 1.30. So blh la kalau korang nk brjimba lps kelas tu huhu.

 Bercakap psl kelas pulak,dkt sini average pelajar UniKL adalah dalam 300 mcm tu je,krg 100 adlh pelajar jurusan science and selebihnya adalah bdk engineering yg poyo2 semuanya huhu gurau je ek. And for jurusan sains,kelas dibahagikan kpd dua lecture class which are class K and L while engineering ada 3 kls lecture which are U,N,I. So kalau in my class lecture which is K,ada about 60 students jerrr kay and in this lecture class dibahagikan pulak kpd 3 klas tuto iaitu K1,K2 and K3. Hah dah pening kan haha. And each kelas tuto ada lebih kurang 12 student je. In my class ada 3 or je bdk laki the rest semua perempuan. Haha bdk lelaki semua mendominasi aliran fizik,bdk perempuan dominate science stream. 

Hakak explain panjang2 pn korang xfaham jgk haha so korang kena experience sdiri as a student what is lecture class and what is tuto class bru la korang mmg faham nnti apa sebenarnya yg terjadi. But to conclude,student mmg la sngt sikit jdi korang mmg betul2 dpt score and fokus dlm kelas.Utk result pulak ramai dpt 3.5 and above time exam since xde la susah sngt belajar dkt sini but kalau kau malas mmg hakak xblh nk tlg mmg result kau akn teruk tp serious sepemalas hakak ni pn dpt above 3.50 okayy(saja nk bgi korang semangat study kat sini bkn nak riak kayy).Ckp psl kelas ni jgk korang kena belajar 6 subjek wajib which are:

-Mathematichs,5 credit(Wajib)

-Chemistry,5 credit(Wajib)

-Biology/Physics,5 kredit(Pilihan salah satu)

-English,3 kredit(Wajib)

-Introduction to Computer Technology/ICT,2 kredit(Wajib)

-Pendidikan Islam,1 kredit(Wajib)

-Study and Critical Thinking Skills/SCT,1 kredit(Wajib)

Semua subjek kat atas dikira untuk result final ye,for your information UniKL ni sistem dia adalah 50% theory and 50% praktikal. So UniKL xada midsem yg ada cuma test 1 and test 2 which is for both test markah dikira sebanyak 20%. Yang lain adalah kuiz(5%),lab report(5%),assignment(20%),final(50%). So total semua tu lah yg akan diambil kira dlm mengeluarkan final result bgi setiap sem. 

Banyak kelebihan UniKL but yg itu hakak akan explain further and more details in the next entry,sabo yerr.Dan satu lagi student UniKL semua wajib menyertai JPAM as co-curriculum activity and ada markah hokayy adik2 but dun worry abg2 n kakak trainer JPAM semuanya baik2 belaka setakat pumping 20 kali tu xde hal lah huhu. Okayy yg pumping tu sbb kt org break discipline,sbb dtg lambat kalau korang punctual n dgr kata rilek je ok serious talk diorang semua mmg sporting tahap dangdut,eh?? LOL

So i think thats all I wanna say about UniKL students at Kmku. For the next entry I'm gonna talk about in what universities will you further your studies or how many chances you can become a doctor or pharmacist through this foundation and chances for FIST students to go study overseas. 

Jadi akhir kata hakak ucapkan best of luck la kpd bakal2 adik lepasan SPM 2015 yg bakal memasuki Kolej MARA Kulim di bwh program FIST. And kpd second intake,third intake or even 4th intake please don't worry even you sorang je yg daftar masuk time tu be cool je okay bcos hakak and member hakak 3 org lagi pn 2nd n 3rd intake jgk and it's not bcos we're not clever but it's bcos our fate. My friend got all A's in SPM but she enter this programme during the 3rd intake and she is right now doing medic in Kolej MARA Kuala Nerang as Skim Pelajar Cemerlang(SPC) after several months in Kmku. Nanti hakak cerita about all of these beautiful journey of mine on the next post.Ciao.Wassalam.

p/s: semasa menulis entry ni,hakak masih tunggu result final exam for semester one haha hopefully dpt yg terbaik,in shaa Allah,Amin.
