THE 1500 WORDS
One of the roles of a quantity surveyor is to estimating, control and manage the costing of a construction project. This would include the new builds, renovations or maintenance work. From easily design costs to final figures, quantity surveyor seek to minimize the cost of the project and enhance value of money whilst ensuring that the project meets all legal quantity assurance requirement. The document tender involving the expense should be reliable and trustworthy according to the provision in the Law Of Construction. Trustworthy, honest and have good communication as well as presentation skill is the basis principle should be underlie for a QS. Quantity surveyor also council the project director, owner and contractor on cost and budget to keep the pricing as well as the time frames, reasonable for all parties involved . They ensure all the work is complete within the building standard . Apart from that , quantity surveyor’s duties related to the costing typically include conducting feasibility studies to estimate materials, time and labour cost. Secondly preparing negotiating and analyzing cost for tender and contract and also valuing complete work and arrangement payment. Other than that, quantity surveyor require to familiar with specific for buildings, health concern and safety regulation. This person is also very thorough, pay attention in detail and quick problem solver. A quantity surveyor should has the ability to find the solution to overcome the consequent carved by the increase of price of the materials during the construction work progressing. Overall, the truth must be exerted by a QS as this is a very sensitive issue in the aspect of economic, politic and social. In this era, the world is full of the falsehood, some of the peoples are willing betray their own principle in order to take their own advantage because the insatiable attitude. I think this is easily happen among the firm related with construction . Corruption, cheated happen will bring a big consequences to the social for example building collapse that would sacrifice thousands of human life and properties. Hence, the mind shift should be emphasized to rectify the work ethic of quantity surveyor.

Actually the BAMBOO fit the first 6 points but the seventh point is up to us.
Future
Bamboo as a strongest structure and a better choice to build that eco-friendly future on. This is the new way to work with rather than against Mother Earth.
Uniqueness
Bamboo has its special characteristic such as incredible strength, regenerative properties, and its natural aesthetic beauty . It has thousands of uses also.
Sustainability
Bamboo might be the most sustainable resourses in this world. It does not require replanting after harvesting.
Humane
INBAR and TRIBAC started to generate sustainable income in rural areas, where no such avenues were available. Not only solve acquire a better life for themselves but also helped other women along the pathway out of poverty.
Universal
Bamboo has been used as the standard building material for the majority of the world for thousands of years. It survived the atomic bomb at Hiroshima and provided the first re-greening after the blast in 1945.
Change
if bamboo were planted on a mass basis it could completely reverse the effects of global warming in just six years, and provide a renewable source of food, building material, and erosion prevention.
Sacrificed
making a leap to 2012, what can we do?
The first thing is, we should understand 2012. Hence we should emphasis and action on 3p- principle (natural law), people(all human) and place(our one earth). If 5% of USM community understand the above 3p paradigm and work on it, then delivering the seed of a higher education, can be made real tomorrow. This is the reason why all citizen must understand the whole programme so they can act in their specialization to fit with the requirement of university and the world today and tomorrow. Conclusion, Bamboo is a sustainbility material and even hard from steel, it represents the effort of the USM as APEX university to achieve the motivation-TRANSFORMING HIGHER EDUCATION FOR A SUSTAINANBLE TOMORROW

Looking Forward & Looking Back
Memories of the first day i come to USM, it is still memorable in my mind.
My family acccompanied me come here by car. We spend about 8 hours in the journey, it was almost half of a day to reached here.We departed from my house at Johor at night so reached here already morning. Since there was still early from the time of register, so we decided to visit around Pulau Pinang. After that my parent bring me went to USM to register and then i got my key and small kit like small note book and pencil. Finally I found my room at TEKUN and met my roomate. After the first day in USM, there was an orientation week launch by PPSL.
I remember during orientetion, It was very tired and exshauted because we had to walked for a long distance and the wheater so hot.We also have a lot of Talks by lecturers of USM. It was very sleepy and i saw a lot student taking nap at their seat, me also. At the start I felt can adapt and tough with my new lifes but my problem cured as time going on. I also meet a lots of new friend in USM. I think it was a good harvest during that week.
First time went to studio, i totally not understand what the lecture talking about in front of lecture hall and also blur and anxiety when the first assignment come to us.But finally i can complete my assignment in time.
LOOKING FORWARD
In the future, I cannot forecast what will happen to me , maybe I will become a sucessful and rich woman in career and marriage, or i will become a failure or others. Although the future cannot predicted, but our future life is inside our hand and we are given chances to decide what we can do in our future.
Now as a student, i am responsible in study, social responsibility and others. I will make sure that i will finish my degree in university and after that i will contribute myself in social.
Other than this, i will also take my responsible as a daughter. I will give my parents a good life as a repay for their effort to bring up me .
In the future, I may have my own family. I wish I can become a woman that can achieve an equilibrium between career and family.
These are to photo when we go to JALAN ZAINAL ABIDIN at Pulau Pinang.
This is the street nameplate at JALAN ZAINAL ABIDIN.
We reach the Cemetery of the Yahudi people. At here can see a lot of graves of them.
This is a monumen of Yahudi people.
Their grave are in diffrent size, shape and design. These is used to differentiate their gender, status and others.
This is my monumen. My idea to deign it is come from the chinese handed fan because it represent the Chinese culture and tradisional.It is important that we should not forget our root as a chinese.
