Site Visit

nothing to see here people. just me updating my daily life blog. well, our studio 5 site visit to negeri sembilan can be define as purely a waste of time. honestly, until the end of our journey, ive yet to understand the whole regional context of our study area. what more to say the whole transportation system of negeri sembilan. im still at blur. i can tell you the routes to use to get to places and their short cuts but from the planning point of view, i have not much to say.... i hope when i study the datas we've collected then i can comment more. but one thing for sure is, Malaysia as a whole is lacking on the pedestrianization side. but because of unpredicted weather, the whole idea is not a success. this is what is lacking most in developing countries around the world. in negeri sembilan (seremban), me and syaza faced difficulties in crossing roads just to get to IPPK. not forgetting vehicle drivers hooting while we walk at the side of the road. "hey guys, havent u ever seen any pedestrians? geez.. kena kacau plak" thats why the journey back to the hotel both of us decided to use a taxi service instead. NO WAY im walking or hiking back to the hotel that is situated 30mins away from IPPK and going through uncivilized people.

i may write about this matter for my thesis. Dr Azeez as my advisor...ermmm very tempting. an A strikes from my eyes! in summary, site visit is rated as "over-rated". and the whole trip doesnt serve the right purpose. a waste of 4days. instead of looking at places, we concentrated on touristics areas and sleeping in the bus on the way. cause buses are like big cradles to put me to sleep. hah! i should eliminate this....damn!

as per say, i have transportation planning exam in 4hours time. ive finished studying but im so scared of even going for the exam. ive been having sleepless night last night because of it. sharks! its like Infrastructure Planning exam all over again. trip generators, mode of transport, right-of-ways, urban travel characteristics, t.p processes and t.p importance.........so much to memorize, so little time. oh god help me! help me pass this with great marks! *amin*

good day everybody!
