blog student engineering jepun

sesetengah student kat mesia yg google pasal blog student engineering malaysia yg tengah study kat jepun, akan sampai ke blog aku nih, dan sesetengah daripada student itu pernah mail kat aku supaya bercerita sikit pengalaman aku sebagai student engineering di jepun.

kebanyakan daripada mereka nih merupakan student2 yg baru masuk pusat persediaan di malaysia untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di kolej2 atau pon universiti jepun nanti, so bole dikatakan mereka nih junior2 aku la.

so sebagai senpai (senior) yg prihatin lagi baik hati, aku cuba nak jawab salah satu soalan yg agak popular dikalangan mereka:

//susah tak belajar engineering dalam bahasa jepun nih?//

jawapan pendek yg aku boleh bagi: mana ada benda senang dalam dunia ni beb!

aku ambik course mechanical engineering (機械工学 kot b jepun), so aku hanya bole bagi pendapat pasal course ni aje lah.

walaupon aku cakap belaja mechanical engineering kat jepun nih tak senang, aku tak rasa yg course nih susah gila pon. seriously aku rasa belajar mechanical engineering kat mesia lagi susah.

nak tau kenapa?

sebab course mechanical engineering kat mesia lagi banyak assignment, lagi banyak report experiment kena buat, pastu tak kira quiz lagi, lecturer yg haram jadah ntah paper, sibuk nak kerja part-time la… macam2 lagi.

course mechanical engineering kat jepun plak amatlah simple. assignment takde la banyak pon, experiment pon takde la susah2, quiz takde org buat, lecturer plak, kalo korang reti bodek, memang senang2 aje dia nak bagi lepas satu2 subject tuh.

memang la belajar engineering kot bahasa jepun ni susah, tapi bila ko dah diletakkan dalam satu tempat dimana bahasa itu la yg akan menyelamatkan ko, lama kelamaan akan jadi biasa la.

toksah risau sangat pasal bahasa, asal korang kuat berusaha, mesti ramai orang jepun yg akan tolong; tapi of course la kena buat kawan ngan org jepun dulu kan?

so pesanan aku kepada kohai2 (junior) di mesia, korang jgn risau sangat pasal bahasa. lama2 tu biasa la. yang paling penting nak survive sebagai student engineering kat jepun ni adalah semangat ganbaru – berusaha.

perkataan ganbaru itu sendiri memang dah jadi perkataan kegemaran org jepun. so untuk survive dalam enviroment jepun, korang pon kena banyak tiru gaya jepun.

kena gigih sket buat kerja, jgn sloppy, kalo bole buat kerja cepat2 tapi elakkan kesilapan…. benda2 mcam tu la. lagi penting adalah menepati masa. ni memang kena jaga gila kalo nak duk dalam komuniti kat sini.

eh… aku rasa mcam aku tercakap lebih2 plak… sebenarnya ada aje student mesia yg lambat, tak tepati masa, malas pastu asyik buat kesilapan aje, tapi bole survive gak duk kat jepun nih… aku la tu hahahaha.

anyways, walau macam mana pon, study pening2 kat sini, usaha kuat2 pon, salah satu element yg aku rasa memang penting gila untuk student kat jepun ialah tidak lain tidak bukan:

ENJOY !!!

seriously, duit dapat tak kan nak simpan kot? kena la enjoy untuk hilangkan stress sehari2. baru la bole perform sket dlm menghadapi ujian2 seterusnya!

sebagai penamat, sebagai student engineering jepun, aku rasa amat bertuah dapat peluang untuk melanjutkan pelajaran kat sini. dulu time interview jpa, aku letak US sebagai first choice, UK sebagai second choice pastu Japan sebagai third choice; tapi aku sungguh berterima kasih kepada kegeniusan pegawai2 JPA yg bagi aku punya third choice, sebab aku rasa kalo aku pegi UK ke US ke untuk belajar engineering, aku tak rasa experience nya serupa mcam kat Jepun.

sebab jepun nih negara pelik.

*tapi sebenarnya, aku dapat Jepun sebab result SPM aku tak hebat mana. time tu, hanya top scorer aje yg diaorg bagi gi US ngan UK. yg result hampes mcam aku nih dia bagi pegi Jepun aje, negara yg tak ramai student engineering nak pegi. sebab nya? of course la sebab kat Jepun nih diaorg tak pakai ENGLISH.

*aku dulu ambik diploma dulu baru buat degree, dan aku rasa proses mcam ni lagi menarik sebab dapat rasa practical (diploma) ngan theory (degree) dalam engineering. so kira pendedahan tu lagi luas la sket, walaupon ambik masa yg lebih lama berbanding mereka yg buat degree from the start.

haa itu la sedikit cerita pasal being an engineering student kat jepun nih. tapi tu lah, mungkin korang rasa susah nak belajar engineering kat jepun, tapi aku dengar student engineering kat jerman lagi la susah. mengikut cerita memba aku yg belajar kat sana, memang jarang benar nak jumpa student malaysia yg tak perlu ulang setahun dua.

so bersyukur la ngan apa yg ada.

yg penting usaha gigih dan ikhlas. the rest tu kita serahkan pada yg Esa.

pastu gi karaoke jangan lupa

vblogging now?

ok…

in the beginning, my only purpose in blogging was just to practice english while i write journals of what’s happening in my daily life.

i need a place to practice the language because being in japan, the daily usage of english is close to zero, and i do hear a lot from my seniors saying that after spending 4 years in japan, their english language skills deteriorate significantly (but they managed to replace it with the japanese language, obviously).

i don’t want that to happen to me. i want to be able to read, write and speak in BOTH english and japanese. my malay and kelantanese dialect won’t go away that easily, so i don’t have to worry about those 2 other languages.

so i start to blog in english, pushing myself to write at least 10 posts a month.

then i started to enjoy it; which is a good thing because it means that i could earn some language skills while i was doing something that i like.

a couple of years had passed, and i am positively sure that my english is significantly better compared to before i started blogging; so i think this ‘blogging to practice english’ method really works!

so now i can read and write english freely, and although far from perfect, i think i could translate what i had in mind (in kelantanese), into english writings.

although i can read and write, speaking felt to me like it’s on another higher level; and most definitely more difficult.

you have to construct sentences on the fly, and the sometimes ‘hard’ pronunciations really didn’t help much. living in japan, i have no use of my english speaking skills, thus i could understand why i couldn’t speak the language very well.

i need to practice speaking in english!

so it is obvious that the next step to further my english skills is to practice speaking!

hence, i think i should start vblogging now, to practice speaking in english!

so i took my first vblog today, and it was pretty bad. but you have to start somewhere right?

i know my first vblog does not have much content that someone could comment on, but if you have any advice in vblogging, please share it with me by commenting.

[note]

to those who didn’t know:
> my mother tongue is malay
> i use kelantanese dialect when speaking with another kelantanese
> english were thought as a secondary language since i was a child
> i also speak japanese (fluently, i hope)

anyways, it snowed a lot today and the front of our apartment is covered with thick layers of snow; and it made it hard for anyone to move around.

this is the car park in front of the apartment, and i guess those cars would have a little bit of problem moving out of there.

this is the stairs going up to our apartment. the wind is so strong that it blew the snows, covering the stairs up with whites.

while taopix goes into his 5 minute hiding, let me write about something

僕にとってブログというのは、自分の意見をコミカルに皮肉的で伝える場所であり、大変珍しい空間であります。当時の気持ちの鏡、考え方の成長の記録帳、思い出のアルバム；一般公開の日記です。もし僕のWRITING STYLEで心に傷つけられるような内容があれは、心の底から誤ります。全くそのつもりはありません。インターネットがくれた表現の自由の権利（FREEDOM OF SPEECH）を悪用する考えなどは絶対にございません。

検閲制度が厳しいマレーシアのマスコミと違って、自分のブログでは本当の書きたいことを書ける唯一のスペースだと思います。良くとも悪くとも、これは僕の一般の市民としての権利だと思います。ずっと僕を支えてくれたマレーシア政府を悪く言おうが、良く言おうがは、それは悪意で書いているわけではないことをご理解頂きたい。悪いところと良いところを短く小さい指で指しています。

怒りをぶつかり合って、心の底に隠れている意見を吐き出して、ストレートで素直に書き続けたい気持ちは譲れないでいます。

僕の若い血に流れてる怒り、大学生の大人気なさ、バカらしい言葉の表現の使い方など。この組み合わせによって一部の方々には見苦しい内容になっているが、「DARK LITERATURE」としてご覧頂きたい。

「POLITICAL SCIENCE」を学んだこともない僕みたいな人間の意見の重みも意識しながら、広い心でこのブログをご覧になって頂ければ、何より幸いです。

学生時代最後の年に素敵な思い出作りに頑張りたいと思っておりますので、どうぞ宜しくお願い申しあげます。

brief break

i’m taking a break from blogging for a while because it started to get very busy lately with assignments and it’s going to get worse for the next 3 weeks when the final exam commences and bring much pain onto my arse.

so until the end of february, i’m keeping myself away from the internet, and closer to books and notes; and i hope i would be successful in doing that. i know studying for exams, especially exams as important as this, is such a grotesque responsibility, but as i have said it, it is a responsibility and i am a responsible man. it’s a hard thing to do because i’ve been filling my puny brain with useless information all this time; resulting a build up of a slight resistance to education that has any academical value. fuck it, i just have to push through.

to boast my spirit, i would like to share with you a horrible picture of a feline getting gang-raped by a group of vicious cats driven by animalistic sex drive. Proof of how dangerous our streets had become; ladies beware!
