Wait, wait. Don't tell me you don't know this thing. You don't know what's Tracker, do you? Have you ever heard about UPM? About their foundation programme? No? Ok lemme explain.
UPM has foundation programme (Asasi Sains Pertanian a.k.a ASPer) which consists of 3 lines:
- Fast track - offers 8 months (2 sem) of foundation and you can save 1 year early to graduate! You can apply for fast track based on your trial SPM result. But the bad thing is you gotta catch up all the lessons faster because it's FAST TRACK manh! If you're in fast track, you are TRACKER. (psssssttt, trackers are way cooler than streamers coz you are senior to your friends who are same age with you!)
- Stream - offers 1 year (3 sem) studies. This one is ordinary foundation and based on your SPM result. The minimum grade to get in ASPer is B. So if you get C+ in one of subjects, can't help it :( If you're in stream, you are STREAMER.
- September intake - offers 1 year (3 sem) studies same as streamers but you learn together with trackers because you're late for 3 months. But don't worry, you can still catch up things and can take degree on same time with streamers. Usually those who get into September intake are those who can't fly to oversea due to several problems so they'll be transferred to September intake programme.
Anyway, life in UPM is so cool. You can wear anything you want to class. Jeans, skirt, blouse whatsoever coz no body cares about your appearance. Even the lecturer will not scold you as long as you wear shoes. It's not like in Matric. Rules are on your own! That's why I like being in UPM.
The lecturers are also nice. Except for our Calculus lecturer........ He isn't nice when talking to us but he's nice when marking our paper. The lecturers are so lovable, they can be friends to be chat with at the same time! Dr Zaizi, Dr Md Jelas, two of these are my fav Chemistry lecturers. Dr Zaizi is so loving grandpa :3 Kuciku :3 Sho cute ngawhh :3

-SSK (3rd sem subject)((same as ICT. I donno what SSK stands for haha))
-anddddddddd AGRICULTURE!
Agriculture? But why? Well, this is the reason why ASPer is special. We learn agri dude, don't be surprised haha. We even go to farm, nursery, fish hatchery, cow farm and many more during amali pertanian. Best sangat! You won't get those experiences if you're in other asasi.

I'm in Lecture group 3. There're 5 classes for Trackers. We call ourselves as "Sleepy Heads" coz every time when lecture class, there must be one of us who falls asleep. Haha. Lecthree is another nickname for our group.

| Lecthree, please stay together. |
Being as tracker, they say we don't have social life. Nope, I guess we prove to them that they're wrong. Ok maybe coz of the timetable is so pack coz everyday our class starts at 8. But if we have free time, or the class is canceled, we'll go to Mines and have fun what. Haha. Flat ikan also is another nearest place to be lepak-ed at. Mamak restaurant at Flat ikan. Ok what.

Haa talking bout exam, test 1 and 2 usually held at night. During day we have lecture and night after that, around 8 p.m. we'll have test. It was average and some questions are easy. Ok joking. It was freaking damn hard!!!!!!!!!!! But slalunya memang redha jawabnya. Final exam lagi macam............. Hm
Another best activity held by ASPer is WAR GAME!!!!!!!!!!! This is a camp where you will know all of your batchmates and the activities provided are all water based! Best sangat I swear ❤ War Game was held at Jasin, Melaka. Our commander's name is Pak Let. And kat sana tak rushing and the facilities were okay. We went kayaking, night walk, Explorace Danau, water rafting and such. Masa Explorace Danau time kat lumpur I was cramp harhar tak guna. Nasib ada hero hero malaya datang membantu hahahaha. The real War Game has to be canceled coz the mud is dry. Phew, seb baik!

So much fun! So much memories. Love you guys. Trackers ❤❤❤
p.s. if you're tracker, you can't further your studies in medic but if you're streamer and September intake, you can take anything course you want for your degree!
NOTE THAT ASPER IS NOT ONLY FOR BEING FARMER OR FISHERMAN OK YOU CAN TAKE ANY COURSE YOU WANT. I REPEAT, ANY COURSE.
