What I Have Learned Throughout the Whole Semester in RUS 104

            Life is all about give and take. You have to give in order to take. It means you have to pay off your hard work and sacrifice your time and money in order to be successful. Give and take is like a cycle, if you are not willing to give, you will definitely unable to take what you want. I always remind myself this throughout the whole semester.

            It was definitely a different experience for me when I first enter the lecture hall and studio. My first lecture in USM  was about the subject RUS 104 which is known as the Integrated Studio. All of the students from the seven disciplines will take this subject together to encourage the cooperation among the students. Besides, students have the opportunities to get to know more about other disciplines and other majors. This is to avoid students from getting to know nothing about other majors and what are they actually doing.

            I have to chance to learn some new sketching and drawing skills from the lecturers and also my friends from other races. Besides I got to know how to make a sculpture or model using various materials with the aid of different kind of apparatus. During the visit to Batu Feringghi, I managed to gain some knowledge on how to do a site analysis and realise the importance of the purpose of doing the site analysis before starting to build houses and so on. When working in a group, I realise the power and significance of teamwork. We have to tolerate with each other and have to deal with every problem arises during a project. This is definitely a stepping stone to success for all of the students.

          Last but not least, I am grateful to gain so much from here despite all the things that I had sacrificed. I wish to thank all the lecturers for giving so much guidance and assistance to us throughout the semester in order to shape us into a better person. I am looking forward and anticipating for the challenges in the coming semester!
