UPM ranked 292??? Bluek~


the worlds 200 best universities in The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) World University Rankings 2006

Proud of such drastic improvement? I believe we should be embarrassed of ourselves at times. We always wanted to compete globally, by having KLCC, KL tower, proving that we too can be outstanding. The presence of KLIA, KL sentral or even public transpot such as Putra monorail was the signal towards development. Yet, we couldn't even get our name (or rather, our Uni names) into the top. Everything takes time? We'll see...

UM was once ranked top 100. And what happened now? Well, i heard from Saha that even Putra had faulty problems past few days (again, i hardly get my hands on newspapers in Uni, why can't they just give out free newspapers? After all, it benefits everyone right? felt disconnected to the society at times~Sigh). What's the point if we had the best facilities but the worse management? What's the point if we spend millions to built KLCC but sux in maintaining it? government had spend countless efforts to promote M'sia, and constantly, i intend to see the not-so-good side of M'sia. Mistreated toilets, Stupid drivers (that includes idiots parking on the road during FRIDAYS, and motorcyclists during midnights) blablabla...

Alright, back to UNI, I was surprise indeed. UPM managed to get into top 300? Sure bo? Being here for almost a Semester, i believe it's OVERRATED. Come on, i came upon abandon buildings which are torn apart, the scene is surely discouraging (bet no one saw that during the evaluation). What if I say i'm being abused? Saying that racism happened in Uni? (NOTE, not to point fingers or having any attempt to create conflicts, but Chee Kong as well as others do agree with me, it also happens in other local UNIs ok)

It's just useless. I won't be that stupid complain to the person in charge (99.9999999999% of them are Malays, it would be like talking to the wall) I wanted to complain regarding people "cooking" during the midnight, but again, to Who? the PM? Or Lim Kit Siang? Lol

Alright, let's get over with Uni stuff, i had a small mooncake festival gathering with Yuen Cheong, KAr Keat, Chee Kong, Pauline, Mee Teng and Kien Ping today. Had dinner at Kaki corner before getting ourselves into playing tanglung. (What? Not yet 21 ma. :P) Went for Dota with Saha, Kah Poh, KK, and WYC later on, i'll post them later, once i get my pictures here.

Yarn~ I need some sleep hehe
