Assalamualaikum .
Mesti korang was like "perancangan bandar dan wilayah ? Pe benda tuu ?" Kaaan ?
Well , as you all know , aku dapat offer from UPU to further my studies in that course which i like to call URBAN PLANNING cuz it sounds cooler . Kat UTM .
Yes , i was a science student . But does that mean aku kena smbung belajar in science jugak ? Like medic and stuff ? I dont think so .
Before PMR lagi , aku dah plan taknak amik pure science masa form 4 and 5 . But memandangkan rezeki aku dapat straight A's , my parents asked me to take pure science . Aku mmg TAK MINAT langsung science2 ni . Aku rela amik sastera or even seni . But then again , my parents coaxed me to take pure science . Katanya , "kalau amik science stream , nnti kat U boleh pergi mana2 . As in whatever course you want ." That's what they said . Lebih kurang lah . And bila fikir2 balik , betul jugak .
In that case , aku amik science stream . Just because aku nk kelebihan 'pilih mana2 course yg aku nk kat U' nnti . Dgn syarat, kena score lah en .
ALHAMDULILLAH , aku dpt 7A For my SPM . Tak byk pun but cukup lah utk aku dpt ape yg aku apply . Yes , diploma perancangan bandar dan wilayah is my FIRST CHOICE . But kenapa diploma ? And kenapa course tu ?
First of all , aku amik diploma cuz ramai org yg aku kenal , pergi matrix but tak dpt ape yg dorang nak . Benda tu samar2 lagi . I mean , diploma walaupun lambat , tapi ape yg kita belajar tu jelas . Kita belajar benda yg kita nak . If you know what i mean . Contoh , matrix korang amik sains hayat or whatsoever . Tapi digree tak tentu korang akan amik medic . or pape je lah . It depends on ur pointer , kalau rasa tak boleh nk bagi comitment , lupa kan je lah . Buang masa je wey . But kalau yakin , go ahead ! :D
As for me , aku mmg yakin dgn course yg aku pilih . I've made my decision that aku akan terus dlm bidang ni . Actually , mula2 dulu igt nk amik architechture . Ok lah kan ? But then aku tak yakin aku boleh bawak course tu . I mean , i dont think im creative enough to be in that course . Lagipun , aku tak minat sgt nk design2 bangunan ni . I love designing , but not buildings . Hehe .
And there's this one day , tah macam mana boleh terjumpa course urban planning ni . Since then aku mcm berminat . So i did a little research bout it and BAM ! I knew what i want to do . Dia tak sama mcm architechture , tapi ade kena mengena . Lebih kurang lah . I've found that this course sesuai dgn kehendak aku . Its not a science major but ade sikit ah . Course ni byk guna math , and math is my bestfriend . LOL . I love math ! Then , course ni pun ade design2 sikit . Mmg perfect gila . Lagipun , im a nature lover . So , it's best if i can design my own town and help to improve the environment and stuff . Make a better place :)
What about jobs ? Heh . Bidang ni teramat lah luas . Cuma org je yg tak tau . Dorang pandang benda mainstream je like medic , law , business , accounting , engineering and stuff . Tu je dorang pandang . Course yg aku amik ni tak senua org tau . Tapi course ni penting tau . Kalau takde perancang bandar yg bertauliah , kucar kacir lah bandar2 kat dunia ni . Semua course ade kepentingan masing2 . Dont worry lah .
Whoever yg amik urban planning , dia boleh kerja dlm sektor kerajaan or swasta . Mana pun boleh . Even nk kerja kat overseas pun boleh . Ye lah , bukan Malaysia je yg perlu kan perancang bandar kan ? Ohh one more thing , pemegang ijazah course ni tak semestinya kena jadi perancang bandar . Byk lagi benda boleh jadi . Example , project manager . Dulu i was wondering kalau nk jadi project manager kena amik course ape eh . Cuz it seems so cool . Then i found out that this course boleh jdi project manager . Bertambah lah minat aku cuz aku pernah terlintas nk jadi project manager . Hehe .
But anyway , aku terkilan sikit ah . Why ? Cuz haritu shaira jumpa cikgu bio kitaorg . And cikgu tanya dia , aku ni tak salah pilih course ke ? Tersasar jauh katanya . Ouch . I've told you , kalau study science stream , tak semestinya kena smbung science -.-' aku tak tau lah , takde minat langsung kat science . Not at all . Plus , i am not that 'smart' to study medic . Tak yakin aku boleh bawak . So , no . Even my dad pun mcm tak setuju sgt aku amik course ni . Tapi dia tak kata ape pun . But i can tell that dia tak happy sgt from his expression . Bila my mon told me that my dad's friend punya anak amik chemical engineering , dia diam je . I understand , semua parents nak anak dorang amik course gempak2 , kerja hebat2 bagai . But that's just not me .
Lagipun , siapa cakap course yg aku nak amik ni takde future ? Sama je semua . Yg penting usaha . Usaha boleh buat kita berjaya . Tak kisah lah bidang ape pun .
Tapi kaaan , tak ramai budak yg dpt course perancangan bandar dan wilayah ni . Kalau dapat pun , sbb dorang tak layak utk course lain yg dorang pilih . It's like dorang 'terpaksa' amik course ni . Sbb tu ramai yg ragu2 whether nk terima or not course ni . "Kalau tak tau tu , yg pergi apply dah kenapa ?" . "Saje , suka2." Haha bengong . Tapi aku , aku mmg nak gila course ni . First choice bhai . Aku rasa tak ramai yg buat this course as their first choice . Tah2 aku sorang je . Haha . Aku tak sabar nk start study .
Oh yeah , aku ade jumpa satu blog about town planning ni . Best gila semua comment dia . Berguna pulak tu . Kalau nk tau , g lah jenguk ;)
