UTAR Life

I should be very busy in this week, because I have 3 mid-term exam and 3 assignments due date coming together, mid-terms and assignments holding hand by hand coming to kill me =.=

However, I still very free. This is because I am super lazy bug just like my sister, hopefully she won't read my blog =.=

Well.. I never worry about my result because I have much confidence on myself. I am very sure that if I study well, I won't fail that subject. Even If i just spend 5 or 10 minutes on that subject then I WON'T FAIL~~ ( Just limited to management subjects =.="" , if calculation, finance subjects, then I will hang myself and directly fly to heaven =.="")

Today, 19 July 2010, Week 8, Monday, I went to school just now to meet one of my friend to clear my RM19 debt. Now I am going to tell the story what I have seen in UTAR campus today.

As a very normal and ordinary student, this is what I saw in UTAR and it makes me understand fully that complain is useless at all. I am a cyclist, from Block B to Block H, I can see a lot of beautiful scenes within UTAR campus except for Block D =.=

Why? This is because bicycles, motorcycles and cars as well are not allowed to park in certain areas for the purpose of good looking. Well.. this is what the guard told me: Nanti president datang, tengok basikal ni semua park macam ni, marah nanti, sorry lah, saye pun kerja saja. I smile at hime and say: saya tahu lah, thank you ya~ =)

That's the reason why I can conclude that bicycles are not allowed to park in certain areas is actually for good looking only. As we all know, UTAR is going to be internationalize, more and more minister or VIPs' will come to UTAR for visiting purpose. That's the reason why the management of UTAR managed to do so =)

Well.. I am a smart student. Usually I do not park my bicycle at block H because I understand that Block H never has enough parking lots for cyclists. Once you cycle to Block H, the guards will start to sing "beat it" to you. They will blow their whistle and: beat it~~ beat it~~~ That's why I won't go to Block H for parking purpose. Usually I will park in Block E and walk to Block H. I rather walk for a far distance instead of beat it beat it by guards in Block H.

However, I just wanted to clear my debt to my friend and just needed to use around 10-15 minutes. Therefore I decided to park in Block H. I found that I am really good in forecasting and predicting. Ah ha~ no parking at all in Block H. Instead, I can see a lot of bicycles being locked by the guards because the cyclists park their bicycles on the grass. I was thinking that.. ohh.. that's illegal to park on the grass.. then.. CAN YOU HELP US TO FIND THE PARKING LOTS??

It is very obvious that parking lots is not enough, but the space is large enough. So what's the purpose that UTAR restricted us to park on the ground and fine RM5 each for those who park illegally?? As a business student, I understand fully what is the meaning of goals and objectives. With one question, what's the goals and objectives of UTAR?? Increase the amount of students?? Improve the quality of graduates?? or.. increase sales & profits??

Well.. I decided to park in between Block H and E and find my friend ASAP. After clear my debts, I ran back to my bicycle quickly because I did not park nicely too in the limited places =)

On the way to my bike, I saw another bigger size of staff was chaining a several bicycles because they are parking on the ground too. Well.. I have nothing to say, I am not the management =)

I decided to go home. However, I went to the east gate because I heard of rumors that the entry per car is RM1 now. Let's do some simple calculation now. ^^

Study days per months = 5 days x 4 weeks = 20 days per month
1 car = RM20 Per month
1 Sem= 14 weeks + 3 weeks = 17 weeks, around 5 months
1 car parking in 5 months = RM100 per sem (same as UTAR parking fees, it is so good in calculation ^^)
Let's do further, 1 car RM100 per sem, how many cars are not able to get the car sticker?? Let's predict as 70 cars.
70 cars = 70 x RM100 = RM7000

well.. I am sure the calculation I did is just a very simple and is the minimum earning method~

I went to east gate and saw the scenes that two guards sitting in there collecting money and lots of car parking inside in the area.

Well.. as a business student, I can really see that this is really a big and great opportunity. Too bad that I have no capital at all. If the owner of the land is willing to invest, he or she might earn more money in a good manner. If he or she is willing to build or make some changes on the land, make it as an official parking center, not RM1 per entry anymore, even few cents per entry or per day. I can assure that he or she can directly compete with UTAR because no one else will be willing to buy the car sticker per sem, submit RM100 per semester that does not have sufficient parking lots =.=

Too bad, I am just a student =.=

I heard that the SRC is going to have a meeting with UTAR management. Well.. Let's see what's the result.. I guess SRC is actually the middle management and does not have the power of making decision. I don't think that they can fight with the uncles uncles and aunties aunties in top management =)

There is a small and dirty lane between west and east lake. I saw a lot of motorcyclists pass through that way. Well.. What I can say is.. that lane is small and dirty and I am sure none of the staff of UTAR is willing to pass through that way =)

P/S: If the UTAR management said that they provide bus service for students, they will never mention how much the cost is, and they will use that service =)

Why? This is because the bus always overload and you will be squished like paul the octopus =)

From what I learnt in management principles, organizational behavior, Leadership and teambuilding, managing people in organization, this is not what we called "MANAGEMENT".

Well.. I am too kiasi to post some truth in here >.<
