There must be new challenges in Dealing with new students who “pay more” whose ” intelligent less” to my University. It is not easy to find “humble look” students with brilliant brain. The fantastic thing is : Now my campus parking area is like new car show room. What is going on with my University?

Finally, the semester break ends up! new semester, new academic year is started. Tomorrow is my first day dealing back with my student for delivering my lecture in the class. It is just like last year, I will be dealing with new students. It must be “Very Interesting and Challenging” dealing with something new i.e new people. I believe, every body is unique. Therefore, new students must be “entertained” differently. Actually, it is not easy dealing with new students. You know, they just graduated from high school, and now they must adapt with new learning style in University i.e learning style for adult learner that is quite different with teenage learner style in high school. However, It is challenging for me to accelerate them to cope with new culture in University.

“Semester Break = Blogging Break”

Oh my God, I just realized: It has been very long-long time, there is no “Top Up” for my blog. Would’nt I be blogger anymore? Oh no, hopefully. “NO, Man!”. Blogging is a part of my life.Actually, last two months are my semester break. However, it means blogging break for me, haha :D. The time in which I do hope, I will be more productive blogger, actually make me be not productive blogger. I just realize that new semester will be started by tomorrow.

There is no reason to say that I have no idea to “top up” my Blog. Actually, there are many things left in my head that should I write in my blog. Actually, they are must be tranfered in my blog, since it is my personal knowledge management system.I should swear to my self, I will transfer them in this blog, even I don’t know when.

“was I too Busy?”I think “No”. But, the thing is I am not extraordinary man. Although, I have two months for semester break, If I am not mistaken, I have no time for spending for enjoying holidays.

Bellows are reasons, why I am not productive blogger anymore:

1. I am trapped with commercial blogging, to earn money with google adsense. (Someday, I will share my experience dealing with google adsense. Nice and fruitful experience are guaranteed :D)

2. I am People in Charge for: Decision Support System & Business Intelligence Labs, Research and Community Service in my Department.

3. This year, I am chairman for National Information Sysmposium that will be held on December 4th 2010 at my department.

Fortunately, This semester I will teach the same course for last year: Discrete Math. So, I just Improve what I have done last year. Since, last year

is my first chance to delive discrete math course.I do hope, this semester I will be succesfully deliver my lecture, for my National Information Sysmposium as well.

Alhamdulilah finally, this semester ends up! There are many things are interested to be noted and should be fruitful learning for future step.

This semester I firstly  deliver course Introduction to Information System. It covers 4 credit hours, for three big  classes (60 students each). Since, it my first time, it is little bit difficult for me. However I still used my “freak” way, delivering this course in English.

Actually, I do hope I can enjoy my long holidays. Unfortunately, it is long holidays for my students, but not for lecturers, I do not have holidays aat all. As lecturer, many things must be done after semester ending. Research:  I have two research projects and I am people in charge to encourage and coordinate research activities in my department, Industrial Project: I am still bonded with IT Master Plan Project. National Seminar : I am number 1 people in charge for this seminar in the beginning of December. Lab Activity: I still have many final year project (FYP) students conducted in my Decision Support System and Business Intelligence Lab and absolutely I should advice and coordinate them.  However, in my own way I can skip all theses stucked jobs  to enjoy my holidays, hahagh!…
