a Tour to my Workplace

i was surfing fb and came across a page and to my surprise, i saw some beautiful pix of my working place and decided to blog about it> *all pictures courtesy of utar kampar group*

kampar is actually my dad's hometown, he grew up here and wat a coincident i m starting my career here at dis very small town wif no cinema, mc d and basically, not a watering hole for many but i kinda like it here.. personally, d peacefulness and less hectic lifestyle suite me..

my working place/uni is kinda isolated from the town.. d structure of d buildings somehow impressed me-maybe d rumour of china architects being hired to do all d designing is true... ok, enuff wif all d unnecessary elaborations, let d tour begin....
the main entrance-ntg unusual, perhaps they r still working on it; i prefer ukm entrance especially d huge TV...


Heritage Hall, the 1st block after the entrance; also where my room is located.. all the talks, activities, orientation are held at d grounf floor- no idea how many human it can cater; while d 1st and 2nd floor are where d offices are.. i once lost my way to my own room *dat was when i 1st got here* becoz d rooms are not exactly in order n they look very much d same whereva i turned..

this is Block B from afar... all d classrooms are mainly for the arts students.. i m alwiz here and it's d place where i met my 1st bunch of psychology students who drove me up d wall, yet i still heart them...


dis is how classrooms in Block B look like, has been arranged for examination...


the library (which is also in Block B), a very tiny one, almost hidden... see how not to miss d 6th storey high tun sri lanang... there's a good news for all, dis library is shifting to a magnificent building *which u'll get to c in a few minutes time*...

as for Block C, *couldnt actually find the pix of d building* where all the essential departments are i.e HR, Finance, a book store etc (wouldnt wanna confuse u people wif all d acronyms- d fact is, i do not know wat those departments r called wink*)
so, d most siginificant part of Block C, apart from d atm, is d Cafetaria...


we r entering the science students' area.. some huge lecture halls, labs n 'doctors/surgeons' wanna-be can be seen in Block D & E..


classrooms in Block D or was it E?? they look alike... dis semester, i was not assigned to teach basic professional writing, so i dont get to come here anymore... ohh, i was there once to re-mark, i reminisce d days when i taught comp engineers, comp scientist, biochemist & information technologist...


a side view of the newest block G-don't ask me where's F coz oni god knows where it is), Pavillion look-alike, soon-to-be library building.. i was there on my 1st day of invigilation previous sem.. my jaw dropped when i got there, it's as if i were in kl; when i stepped into it, just another typical building in utar wif air-cond blowing at full blast..


did i mention, there's lotsa lake wif beautiful water lilies in utar, around utar as well (without lilies)-we have westlake homes (or Damish House-c how exclusive d name is) & eastlake (where tesco is located)... here, i leave u wif dis very serene picturesque image of 1 small part of utar..

p/s: dearest students, if wrong info was given, do correct me... i m still new here, unlike u old-timers.. wink*

The "couloured block" on the wall of Block D is kinda like apple green but it's blue-ish green for Block E. I hope you get what I mean, I'm not good in describing these stuffs...

The labs on Block D are for science and engineering courses while Block E has more facilities for computer and IT courses.

The Block G looks nice! I heard that the current temporary library will be moved to there.

>long, i thought all the buildings are grey.... Block D & E are your territories, thats why you know them well... yup, Block G is nice-ohh, news spread fast, even the ones on 3 months break also know about it...

I mean those "block of colour" between those the doors & windows of those rooms/labs. The coulour is different for Block D & E. Ar, nevermind if you don't get what I mean with my poor vocabulary, lol!

sook beng said...

>long, haha i got you.. you were pointing at those classrooms... nothing to do with your vocab (which i think is above average) i misinterpret-my bad... so, the green doors are in Block E right.. D, it's grey or was it white-couldn't remember..

I really appreciate last semester that you need to walk all over from your isolated office to Block E.

I wish I can teleport...
