Volunteering in IPS

Today was the first day of IPS offering registration for mixed-mode and coursework postgraduate students. It started around 8.30am, and while we were preparing, our "customers" were already queuing outside the room. People storming in right after the door was opened.

I was at group 2 at the beginning, then i realized that at group 2, they don't really need 2 peoples from us. The main job of there was just delivering the file to the counter that just feet away. So i decided to help out at the group 1 which looked a bit messy at that time. After helping for sometime in group 1, i know that place was really a mess......and people just stuck there and slowed down the whole registration process......Finding files for them are nightmares, especially the names with initials of "N", "M" and "S"...(No offense). Names with these initials really kill us. Every time we received documents from student, we were praying that the students initial is something other than these mentioned alphabet. Why these 3 backed us off? It was because we have too much files for them...and the names are almost the same....we have to squad down in order to search them from boxes of files.

Meals are provided but i had to have my breakfast at 11 something...For me, the Bee Hun Goreng was spicy, especially in the early morning. I don't usually go for spicy food in the morning. The strange part is, they always provided us Teh Tarik for breakfast.

The lunch was not so bad, still spicy but they have fish and vegie in the environmental friendly paper box(Not so bad huh?). I have to fight with the fish in the box because it was so hard to eat the whole "Bawa Hitam" with very fragile plastic spoon and fork.

Headed home at almost 6. Car got stuck in the middles of cars because the fresh meat(new undergraduate students) were having event at DUP. Just like the old glory days, they have to walk under the hot sun from their respective hostel to DUP. It reminded me what i was like 4 years back.

Funny thing about today was there were 2 students, which names cannot be found in all those piles of files. We then only realized that they are suppose to register at Engineering Campus at Nibong Tebal instead of the main campus. So sorry for them....We really can't do anything to help.
