The student’s imaginative story of UiTM Sarawak

Since UiTM Shah Alam kalo compare dengan UiTM Sarawak, banyak giler perbezaan. This due to the different environment that both of the campuses had, has and have.

As for a student, hidup kat sini much more towards Green Eviroment yang menyebabkan mostly suma student kat Semenanjung rasa rindu bila return tempat diorang balik.

Early in the morning kat Shah Alam, student yang ada bilik kat kolej Perindu, buka jer langsir yang diorang nampak sinaran mentari silau gila and pak cik gardener tengah potong rumput guna lawn-mover. Tak pun bunyi bush-cutter yang memang memedihkan telinga and for surely giler annoying.

Tapi kat Sarawak, early in the morning memang sejuk giler; especially kalo bukak kipas laju tahap maksima. Diri dalam bilik masih berkelubung lagi but since ari Isnin, they have to get up. So macam biasa kitorang bukak la langsir and mak aiii…masih berkabus lagi luar tu. Cahaya mentari macam efek cahaya ko dapat hidayah gitu. Instead korang kat Shah Alam just dengar burung chirping pagi-pagi, kitorang kat sini memang ada burung chirping gak but diorang chirping dengan siap ada irama lagi. Bertambah masyuk lagi for the morning scenery bila ko lihat burung kenyalang terbang freely depan mata ko and kitorang punya gardener is in his cawat chasing off the pest, Phrobosis monkey guna sumpit. FYI, kat sini banyak pokok tinggi-tinggi and blue berry bushes take over the grasses. Those monkeys salu curi blueberries and sebab tu la gardener have to chase ‘em away. Korang jangan ah risau cause those monkeys tu masih idup gi. Hujung anak sumpit tu pak cik gardener dah celup ngan bisa katak merah yang dah dicair so it wouldn’t kill. Just pengsankan monyet tu and then letakkan diorang out of the campus ground.

Pas dah mandi kat perigi yang memang sejuk giler and kitorang pun get ready for class. Instead of tunggu bas kalo kelas kitorang jauh, instead we guna perahu and we kayuh sendiri tau. No driver no aper. Sebab tu muscle kitorang boleh tahan jugak muscular nyer.

Kelas kitorang bukan dalam building instead we use mother nature as our class. It is open out of the field dengan beralaskan prairie grass as our floor. We sit down and listen the lectures for the day. Owh, kitorang tak rasa panas pun because pokok-pokok tinggi giler and the canopy actually covered the ground. Sebab tu sejuk jer….tambahan pula kat sini memang windy gak.

Fresh air is good for our brain and that is why we no need note pun. Suma masuk dalam otak…kira nyer photographic memory ah. Lagi pun, we urge to save the trees. Kalo kitorang guna kertas, it will endangered the forest.

As for electricity, we have no problem for that since hydroelectric damp just sebelah kitorang jer. Soket plug memang everywhere even kat banir pokok pun ada. Sebab tu kitorang kuat main Facebook, Twitter and online sebagai nyer sampai ke lewat malam dinihari. Plus, wifi kitorang memang available 24/7 since the router is being put at every tall tress. Tambahan pulak ada WIMAX, hence the coverage is not a problem for us.

If the students nak chill out, pondok rehat kitorang actually is a tree house. Memang convinient because some student may have their short nap dulu before sambung balik kelas petang.

If students rasa haus or lapar, we just petik jer buah yang banyak giler kat pokok in our campus ground. Patahkan anak pucuk buluh and cucuk ke dalam buah jadikan macam straw. Very freshening indeed. If ada student bawak penknife, kitorang belah jer buah on the spot. Memang best arh…especially kalo potong and have buah tembikai tyme ari panas-panas camni.

Pak guard kitorang bukan nya macam pak guard kat Shah Alam. Kalo kat sana pa guards akan kejar pelajar sampai ke kelas kalo coba nak lari dari pakai kad matrix, sini lagi dahsyat. UiTM Sarawak pak guard kejar kitorang gak tapi bukan guna motorsikal or lari kejar student. Instead diorang naik kuda kejar cause ground level kitorang bertanah and kuda lari pun dapat selit-selit celah pokok tu. Memang salu ah kitorang kena tangkap. Kuda tu beb…..

At Shah Alam, students and the staffs memang salu ada risk kena kejar ngan anjing. Tapi sini, kuss semangat. Bukan anjing yang kejar kitorang tapi babi hutan. Mana tak banyak student kat sini kuat lumba lari. Sapa yang tengok citer Avatar yang tang part Jack Sully kena kejar ngan predator tuh, macam tu ah keadaan time kena kejar ngan babi hutan tu. Lagi pun, aku sendiri malas nak main samak-samak ni. Jadi, lari dari babi hutan lebih bagus gih. Memang salu ah kitorang panjat pokok yang tinggi dan besar amat untuk mengelakkan diri. Sebab tu ah dari mula lagi aku tekan kan penggunaan pokok-pokok nih. Memang berguna for kitorang kat sini. Kan prevention is better than cure….

Disebabkan suma UiTM Sarawak students and staff loves the environment, misalan nyer for urgent notice, kitorang tak guna kertas untuk sebarkan maklumat tu. Kitorang lebih suker gunakan khidmat messenger. Dah lah messenger tu memang kuat ah dia punya memory..memang tak dapat lawan. Pas kitorang bagi mesej, the messenger akan pergi untuk kasitau orang yang ingin disampaikan pesan tuh. Untuk penyampaian maklumat yang cepat, no walking or running atau pun naik kuda cause we have a lot of rivers here and the soil agak tenggelam gak kat sini. Instead, diorang bergayut dari satu pokok ke satu pokok…ala-ala tarzan gamak nya so that the information can be send within 20 minutes!

Budak-budak perempuan kat sini diorang tak suka sangat guna emas tu because it will attract the monkeys and the wild boar to chase ‘em because of its shining reflection physical characteristic. Instead daripada pakai rantai, diorang pakai rantai yang ada skull keliling tu untuk takutkan menatang tu suma. They all dapat menda tu from their kampung la.

Talking about skulls, kitorang punya college lobby chandelier bukan macam ala-ala love or christal glass shape tau. We use those skulls as our chandelier so the lighting effect come out from the hollow part; both eyes and mouth; does really make a good light effect.

FYI, kitorang tak bayar guna duit untuk dapatkan menda alah tu. Instead, we bought ‘em using oil trade. For a barrel of oil, kitorang boleh dapat 52 chandeliers. Memang bargain bebetol.

As for our campus chief, since we do love the culture here, he don’t wear suits or tux in the campus within his office. Instead dia pakai pakaian yang orang Iban  selalu pakai untuk tarian ngajat tu along with the parang and the terabai (shield) as a symbolism to show his superiority and power. Kalo nak ditanya kat aku, memang aku tak berani nak masuk office dia….
