I attend a seminar in UPM for 2 days. Prof Diraja Ungku Aziz was there. Born on the year 1922 in London. Graduated from UM and Waseda University, Tokyo.
Me talking to a girl next to me: Wah, waseda uni, prestigious uni leh....
The girl: Is it? How you know?
Me: (thinking about GTO- Fuyutsuki sensei graduated from waseda uni one) I know one lah. (not going to tell her about GTO, i don't think she will understand)
He gave a 45 minutes opening speech reminding us about the importance of language. The conslusion:
Bahasa Malaysia (He said bahasa Melayu): For our unity.
English: For economic development.
See? We must learn both of it not either one.
The 2nd forum was about the marketability of our graduates in a globalized world. They invited Tony Fernandez for the forum session. He was wearing his red AirAsia cap and keep making jokes to lighten up our boring serious session. People were busy being intellectual and i was busy daydreaming and even tempted to ask him if i can get any free tickets. Stupid me.
