Besides that, I also have basics in Arabic language because I had study Arabic language about 5 years since form 1. In my course I have to take this subject for 2 semesters and this is the first semester for me. This subject is focusing in communication. My Arabic lecturer is Ustaz Syazali Effendi. He will tell any story before he starts his teaching. This makes his class interesting. He also likes to attack me in the class. I was so excited he teaches me in this subject.

In addition,I also studying about Introduction to Statistics (QMT 216). This course teaches by Miss Arfah binti Ahmad. She was the one woman lecturer in this semester. This subject is actually quite tough for me especially when I have to draw a graft. It's been a long time since my high school I didn't draw a graft. Most of seniors have says that many students has repeat this paper. That sentence is actually frightening me. But no worries I will aim to get A for this paper. To achieve that I must work harder to get what I want. Hopefully my dreams will come true. Miss Arfah also likes to attack me in the class.

Moreover, I also studying Macroeconomics (ECO 211) in this semester. This subject is about aggregate behaviour of the entire economy. Lecturer for this subject is Prof. Madya Abdullah bin Abdul Latib. For the physical appearance, he look very fierce and strict person but actually after we know him very well he is sporting and funny person because he always create a joke while teaching. He also has a lot of experienced in teaching subject Economics. I'm very glad and happy to be his student in this semester because the way he explained about the topics is very clear and easy to understand even though this subject is tough and hard to understand. Besides that, he also always makes a surprise quiz, so it make us always do a revision on this subject and be more prepared on his classes. In my opinion, I'm very lucky to get him as our lecturer because he has own style in teaching that will help me to score in this subject. For this subjects, the credit hours are 3.0 and contact hours are 4.
