I felt exhausted now talking for an hour non-stop! This morning I had a class with DPA (Diploma of Public Administrations) students. I brought 35 handouts with the hope that at least 30 students will turn up but in the end there were only five. I continued the tutorial because it was a pity of those who attended. Later this afternoon again the same thing happened, only five turned up out of 25 students. At first there were only three but when I was about to dismiss the class another two students came in. So, I decided to continue and did the ice breaking session. The students in Malaysia are very different from those in the UK. Normally students in the UK the first day of class, the class will be very full. They really take things seriously even though they enter the degree course at a very young age around 17 and above. Actually, I was a bit disappointed by these Malaysian students because as an academics I am very excited to meet and teach them. I guess it just the attitude haven't change.

Aiyo, I miss you too. This year I've stopped going to the gym cause no company and too lazy over the weekends.
It's good to hear that you've been coping well with your students. I still cannot imagine you as a lecturer.
Well, take care now.
ok, i'm surprised that UiTM students actually did not show up in classes at the start of the semester. When I was studying the classes are usually very full [you even have to find chairs from empty classrooms] to even sit in it. but that's the students in my campus [IPTS].It's dissapointing, really.
