MFI moments: Chapitaire 1

Somehow I feel I kinda enjoy the lectures at MFI.
Let's see for the PreFrance programme...ow wait let me give you a lil' info just what this course really is.
Well, PreFrance is a special programme especially for students sponsored by either MARA or JPA that in general prepares them to depart to France to advance into the engineering field. The whole course lasts 20 months split into 4 semesters. It's like a foundation in engineering programe combined with the french language. Apparently, the goal of this program is for us to absorb as much as anything & everything french as possible from its cultures, games, holidays and especially its language. It comprises of intensive french courses with no less than 12 hours of french lessons a week. I have to take 4 subjects which are Physics, Basic Electricity, Mathematics & French Language. They're taught in English for the 1st semester...only for the first semester. Exams are all in french >.<>Okay, I currently have Mr.Mourad as my Math lecturer & tutor. He seems like a very kind and gentle person who speaks very slowly and makes sure that we all understand his mathematics. He's not French but I forgot where he is from. He learns malay and chinese from us.

And ermm, next I have Mr.Mahmood. He's my Basic Electricity lecturer & tutor, the only one in MFI. He's got a sexy pose doesn't he :) He loves doing that. Actually, I think he's the tallest dude among all the lecturers and towers over everyone o.O And usually he has to bend his head down slightly each time he enters a room. He's Arabian and dame he's got a really nice accent. It's really easy to understand whenever he explains. Plus, I think he's the only lecturer who swears with foul language x) He has a really great sense of humor and he's my favourite lecturer :D but during every tutorial class there's always a chance for a 5 min pop quiz which is so dreadful. So far I've already flopped 2 out of 2 quizes -.-" I mean who can handle electrical probs in 5 mins?!

Ah, for my Physics teacher, he's Mr.Fabian and he's french I think. Too bad I don't have his picture. I had a really good chance to take some shots of him once but I forgot to bring my cameraphone then >.< He whistles every time he draws a line and says "klak klak klak" when he writes an equation. And whenever his marker pen runs out of it, he would simply just throw in on the floor across the room -.- practically he throws nearly everything. One thing about him is he definitely loves his wife and frequently mentions her even during lectures and also as an escape-to-home excuse after his lectures when we try to bombard him with questions. Such a sweet excuse xD

I have 3 lecturers for French language :O The oldest one of them is Madame Houda. For some reason, I usually can't stay awake during her classes >.<" It's the ONLY class I actually feel like sleeping in! And believe it or not(you have to, cuz i ain't lying :)), she's a mother of another lecturer here in MFI(wow?). Remember my Basic Electricity Lecturer?(Mr.Mahmood laaa if your simple mind have already forgotten :P). Yea, he's her son xD(WOW?!)
Another one of my French lecturers would be Mademoiselle Gwennaelle. I cut it short to just Gwen. Tall and slim figure with really short curly hair and usually wears simple and maybe a lil' "sexy" clothing. She likes to teach using a lot of sound effects. A lot. Of. Sound. Effects. Like pffft whiush whoosh shiush etc. haha she's really good at those xD
And lastly, Mr.Fabrice. He's French too. Seniors say he's the best lecturer for French language. He's really good I can tell. But he has really strict rules and I feel quite restricted during his classes. He dislikes it when we try to translate French into English. Instead he always acts them out, just to prove that he's a really good actor x) and he is!
