Thanks to both of you, Farid and Bakri, for responding to my entry. I will miss you too, i enjoyed reading your entries, especially YOu, Bakri. As you were relatively quiet in class, your entries gave me an insight into your character. YOu have a lot of talent inside you and i think you need to project yourslf more, so that others can see what you have to offer. Farid, you too were quiet, but i know that you have a lot of good things inside you, just waiting to get out, so i hope in the course of your lives in the uni, you will discover yourselves too. All the best in this quest!!
Cheers!!

Dear students,

I don't know if anyone of you will actually read this, as i suppose it does come a little late. Also, some of you may be thinking that since the sem is over and no more eng fof law, then why do i have to open this blog. But that's the thing - if you looked upon this as more than just a 10% mark, then perhaps, you would return to it from time to time and post your thoughts. But if this blog was for you only something that you were forced to do, then you wouldn't. But the truth is that i've only just finished reading all your entries!! Surprised? Shocked?? Well, i do have lots of entries to read and 2 classes too. So in total i have 40 x 4 = 160 entries to read, and that IS a TALL order. So, i suppose i cant be blamed. Also, i have to read all your first 2 entries again, to refresh myself, although i made my notes when i first read them.

I must say that most of you seem to have grown from the time you entered UKM to the time you sat for your exams. I would like to thank those of you who mentioned how much Eng for Law helped you improve in some way. Most of you seem to like the blogging experience, although i must say some of you still haven't quite grasped what reflection is. But i am hoping that your experience with reflecting thru' the blog has somewhat taught you something about yourself, in particular more about what you have learnt, since the entries were to specifically focus on your learning experiences, in relation to your law courses and other activities related to what you do as a law student.

Thank to those who have expressed their appreciation to me and to those who have aplogised thru the blog, i accept your apology and that whatever i said and did was for your benefit , and as some of your parents may say: 'for you own good only what!'

Have a really good, relaxing holiday and take care!! Do feel free to come see me or keep in touch, even though i may not teach or perhaps cross your path again. You guys still have one more eng course to take, that is, Workplace Com 2, which may be offered to you either in your 2nd or 3rd year.

Take care and all the best alwayz...!!:))

Last Post..

Hello everyone..this two cakes was dedicated to my madam and friend..due to my birthday on 10th Oct..last month..the cake of course was not ermm available rite now..but still i keep the picture of the tasty cake for you guys..hehe..(^^,)

Wah..Its the end of semester now..i could not believe that time has past so quickly..as fast as wind and cloud..its time for holiday..i have been thinking back what have i been trough for the past few day , week and month..wow..when i think back theres a lot of thing that has been said and done..lots of good and bad memories ..many things have change in me and around me... but then it was always a positive and a negative things that have had open my eyes..(wider)..(^^,)..as we reach our last week before holidays i suddenly remember something ; my uncle once said to me "In real life we can see a different between people who knows how to manage their life and have a good life and between people who what we called a loser"..
I remembered asking him.."how".."what do you mean by having a good life and a losers , we all deserve a good life"..he answered me "naa..some people could not bare with challange in the end to solve problems they end their life with suicide and doing bad thing and choosing the wrong path..while a wise person is a person who already been in universities and had face many kind of challenge and this kind of people can survive in the world out there compared to a person who never know how to face challenging life..so if you ever gone to universities..try to bare with it..because life aint easy ok dear?!"......that what he told me before i went here in ukm..thingking back ..what he said is true..whatever assignment , pbl , group work , examination , clases ,cocuriculum activities , college activities..i need to face it and bare with it..DONT GIVE UP..keep BEING STRONG..because all this was just a preparation for us to face our real life out there..the end of this semester was not the end of everything..i know i did not doing well in my examination because lack of concentration..but i do promise my self i will do better and better for the next sem..in other word..i will and i want to go further and further as far as i could reach..yess..(^^,)

Final Look

As i was looking at the calendar, gosh i hadn't realize that time did fly away.How i spent the time will just appear on my results paper for this semester. Don't know what am i going to face for the next semester.However, i did manage to pick up what is left for me during the whole reflection in my studying in law in this prestigious faculty ever in the University. I am going to reflect on the whole process of the English course that i had registered to for my first semester.Thanks to Puan Sitha who deliberately conducted the class. I wish to thanks her for her effort to just letting us use our own creative thinking to form in into the legal thinking as we were in the law course. She let us speak by giving us the chance to share any information that can change our view in certain things. Puan Sitha just give us the little guidance for us to act in our own feet as she observing us throughout the whole process of studying.
Frankly, i will miss the class from now on as i will not wake up in the morning to just going to attend Puan Sitha's class.To Puan Sitha, thank you for your dedication and thanks to all the info and the knowledge and the hidden values that you had thought me and the whole class.Thanks because I started to love this course from your class.

MALAYSIAN LEGAL SYSTEMS

This subject is all about the knowledge on how the law is form in Malaysia. I really enjoy the whole class and the tutorial that we had gone through. Every assignment that we had, had taught us the importance of the knowledge in the sources of law and how the law is form in Malaysia.Not to mention the PBL that we had assigned to. We made a video on a case Re An Advocate the case about an advocate that runs a womens laundaratte during his practice. This video making involving the tutorial teams that team up together and work as a teamwork which is taught us the values of cooperation and thus the sweet friendship were bond here. I love Damnum Sine Injuria. Thanks guys and Puan Roshida that had taught us. See all of you in the next semester.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

Puan Norlia and Puan Faridah had taught us the view on The Federal Constitution of Malaysia. Never in my life I am feeling really aware and secured with all of the law provided in this constitution. The course really open up my eyes about the direction and the status of the law itself in controlling the citizen of Malaysia and the government that govern itself. I also learnt more about the limitation power of the Parliament which is so cool that I can share it with my friends when we just hang out and who knows it might be useful for them.

CONTRACT LAW

Everything that we deal in this world is got to do with the contract. Interesting right, contract binds us in everything that we do. For example a promise to your parents, that you will study hard and excel in the exams and your parents promised to give you a gift as a consolation, there you are already entering the contract, even with your parents. Fascinating right……
I had learnt so many interesting terms of contract in latin term such as non es factum which means not my deeds and various terms that come across during the whole process of studying contract law. To be honest, contract law is a technical subject that requires a high speed level of understanding it and I was in the phase of increasing my level of understanding. Thanks to the core subject, now I am more alert in every action that I took in order to protect myself from being involved with any illegal promise or contract.

However, other subject like Information Technology and Law also in this semester course. It had help me and those of my friends in improving the skill that needed in finding or using the internet or other on line sources for the law information, cases or law education. Surely it help us a lot in to becoming more familiar with the Lexis Nexis application, CLJ, Westlaw and many more. Never thought that there is so much application on line that are very friendly to use. Thanks to Puan Norlia Sukarno, Puan Suzana, Pn Nazura and Encik Azraai.

Moreover the Hubungan Etnik class that take place once a week really lighten up my hours of studies. En Nazri Muslim who conducted the class surely know what he is up to every time the law student came to his class. Not to mention the late attendance that we gave him due to the overlapping of the schedule. During his class, we were exposed to the real current issues that we had to face in the future in maintaining the peaceful environment of the country within the whole relationship with every ethnic in this country.

Truly, I started to love every second of my life here as a Law student and perhaps I will do more in the next semester especially in my studying process but truly, thanks to Puan Sitha that had give us space to express ourselves independently in this blog. Thanks to all my friends too, for giving me the support in my past time. Thanks guys. May we will be the next excellent batch of law student in the future. Trust yourself and never give up.

Hello, Goodbye and somewhere between.

Take a deep breath and be happy, because I am not going to spill on the same old mundane issue of "how my life has eventually changed after one semester being in a law school" today. Well, not anymore.(Knowing, I'm still a late comer and a procrastinator. Proven due to the lagged post) But I will raise an issue to be thought over. An ordinary issue but if we begin to contemplate why, it gets your mind to function properly. Like it has never functioned before. Alright. Exaggeration spotted.

Let's talk about thing that we're all doing now. The existence of this blog to be precise.

Why else would law students of the past, present, and future take so fiercely to blogging? Is it a passion for putting figurative pen to figurative paper? Is it because we subconsciously or not so subconsciously exalt ourselves and think people care about what we have to say? Or is it merely because law students have a passion for words (b-law-g) that contain a law phoneme?

Why these other students from other fields such as Dentistry, Medicine, and Engineering do not have the immense interest like we do? Maybe they're not too happy to start up their entry by saying eerie and disgusting things like "Last morning I filled in a cavity..." and "I had a good time, playing and squishing the arteries of my patient. I've never seen anything as redder as her blood"

But is Law School interesting enough to be bragged about in a blog? The fact that controversial issues like homosexuality and abortion appeal more to them than other topics would. I reckon, it is because, if we blog, we know that what we've been talking about are almost universal stuff that can be fathomed by the ordinary people. Things and global issues that occurred around us that welcome these readers to give feedbacks on our entries.

Hang on. Did I just make us sound like attention-seekers?
Let's hope not because we might as well do not plan to be attention grabber through our online journals. What I really can relate to this is, perhaps it has to do with relevance. The law is everywhere, after all. Look at politics and its blog-wielding cadre. Political bloggers are pervasive, although that tends to be more for professional purposes than in pursuit of a hobby. How often do you read a political blog that discusses what the blogger ate for breakfast?

Do law students simply have too much time on their hands? HA HA HA [Insert fake laughs here]. I’m sure if I looked closely enough I would find other disciplines of study with a strong blogging community, but could it possibly be as expansive as the law blogging community? Everyone blogs. You tell me. Those who love the law (if any) or objecting the law (absolutely). Those aspiring lawyers. The ones who dream about being attorneys due to the massive influence from Law and Order or Legally Blonde that conveyed the message on fashion and law are related regardless bimbos will not be taken seriously in a law field.

Which once again raises the question, why do you and I blawg?


I don't want to hear any answers saying;

"because Puan Sitha told me to do so"

No. Not even near to that. Give me legally convincing answers please :)

Good luck for the finals!
Show them the parents that Law School is more to life than producing a whole lot more Karpal Singh wannabes in our legal system.

End Of The 1st Semester Countdown

As time passed by..there are so many things that I have learned through my studies at here. From zero to the now i am..different from the old petty now im more mature and ready enough to handling the incoming problems. Troubles truly a friend to us, every stepped that we've took there surely a trouble and from there we learned to be a better person. Well, here im not going do talk about all the trouble that i've been trough but to reflect on that.

Since i've finished my last paper for this final exam, i feel like my burden lighten than before. Now i can really take a long rest without worried about the upcoming paper. While im lying on my bed and starring at the wall, suddenly the past of valuable memories arise. There are so many up and down stories in my life at here, studies and life at here a totally different from 'the one' i had before.

Life at here, like others, im trying to be more independent and not too depends on others help but sometimes when difficulties comes it is hard to avoid such principle. Advantageously, it open my eyes on how the true face of a friend is. It make me realize that my bunch of friends will disappear when it come to getting help from them. And since that i told myself to be more careful in making friends. Moreover, i also know how to manage my finance wisely than before. Living here use a lot of money, RM100 seems like a RM10, every little things need money to walk with. There was a day when i completely had no money left to use and i had to fasting for a day until my parent can put in some money into my account. From that day, i told myself to spend the money wisely and never blow it for something that unnecessary. Anyway, i truly enjoy my new life at here and grateful for all the sweet time i had with all the new faces in my life.

Meanwhile, the experiences of study in this new environment totally freak to me. The learning seems like 'fast and furious', it is a nonstop learning centre where everyday we have to catch as fast as we can so that we won't miss a thing. Moreover, the tutorials and PBL like a never ending test and now another big test(final examination) i have to face on. Anyway, it is the best learning experience i ever had because there are so many things i gain in a short time of period and there are no more teacher feeding notes, all are depends on our own effort. As a varsity student, we cant walk alone because most of the assignments and works need to be done in a group. It can be say almost 60% grouping assignment than individual. When i first hear about it, it seems easier to score but later on there are so much of problems that occurred to gather commitment from all the members. But, at the end when it comes the time to summit the assignment, unbelievable the commitment up to 100% of desperation. Overall, i start to adapt with such kind of learning process and hope that i can do better in the next semester.

Last but not least, i want to thank Pn. Sitha for everything that she had taught us and make us be a better person than before and also teach us how to think critically in this life. The English For Law lesson totally helpful on how to understand and read 'law' effectively.

MY WORKING EXPERIENCE

hi everyone this is my last entry.... so fast gona finish 1st sem...
as my last post i would like to tell bout my working experience after finishing my STPM... i worked in 3places, but this give me much experince...so nice at the same time too much of pressure

After my STPM examination, I decided to work in a call-centre. I applied for a customer service officer job through CIMB Bank. I was offered a job on 31st December 2008. I started by 4 month working stint the 5th of January 2009.

My higher-ranked officers assigned me to the auto-loan deparment. The role of my job is basically to answer calls from customers pertaining to their car or hire-purchase loans from the bank. I was given the full trust to access information which cure deemed secret and confidential by the bank.

Throughout my experience, I reguraly received calls from rude and irate customers. They, made my job difficult. Quite often, they would scold me although it was their mistake for not keeping their car loan monthly installment payment payment on time. That helped me to learn and understand that all of us have to go through a significant amount of pressure all the time.

Last but not least I had a wonderful time working in a bank environment.

tatz all.....tc evi1 all d best 4 ur xm

sayonara..,but i'm not leaving

assalamualaikum and a very pleasant wish to all of you Madame and Monsieur,

This is the last one for this semester.Sincerely,i don't think that this blog posting thing ( sorry for my language :p )are burdening me.In fact, i think it help me to learn something ,i mean SOMETHING about reflection , the skills that i think is very helpful and useful in our studying time and even in our life.Furthermore,i also use the same skills and experiences in this english for law blog project for my own blog that is WACANAKURIT.BLOGSPOT.COM. , do visit my blog when you have free time...ngee~

i think that during the posting of my previous three blog posting,i had grown and learn new things and experiences something . I think that this experiences will be very useful skill that will be very useful later in my life.In fact, i already feel the usefulness of that skill by reflecting what i had done everyday.I can recognize my weakness and wrongful done . For example,the PBL , it seems like when we talk about PBL , we talk about something that was very hard and designed just to make us fail . If you don't believe me , you can ask randomly any first year Law UKM students about PBL , and get their answer and you will agree with me . But , i don't think so because i think that PBL help us to learn , it is not just about co-operation , about time management , about your learning ethics . But it is all about yourself ,what i mean is that it is you that decide how hard , whether you can do it or not . It is all about you , for me thinking positively is the best way to overcome this kind of problem.

i love learning process , we can deny that we need to learn if we want to continue to live . But if we learn something without having fun . It is very shameful and unhappy situation because we need to enjoy it if we want to get something from it . I always believe , that in the process of learning we fall sometimes , then we raise again , then fall again.Rather than feeling shame and embarassed , i feel very proud if i fall , it is because it is normal in the learning process..

that's all about the blog , oops i mean english for law blog.But , i will still the use the konowledge that i had learned here to post in my own blogspot.So , thanks all of you for sharing your view and thanks to everybody who help me.....Astalavista Babeh

I Need Plenty of Luck!

The fact that im busy with assignments,discussion,preparing for final exam and other personal stuff does not give me good excuse for the late post.Im sorry Puan Sitha.Final is unfortunately tomorrow and here am i rushing posting my reflection but to be honest i rather blog than read the oh-so many cases.seriously.People,i just realized that if you are force to do something no matter how hard it is for you to do it at first,eventually you will be able to do it and if you're lucky you might also be good at it too.Take me for example,i thought that there is no way i could finish reading 'mengenali undang-undang kontrak malaysia' within three days but hey,i did it!not to say that i've mastered it completely but the fact that i did finish make me realized that you can do something that you think was impossible.You just need the extra kick or push.For me its the limitation of time that i have before final starts.Well,i think its time for me to drain my brain with loads of cases,act and statutes again.Please wish me luck!i need plenty of if!

End of semester
After 14 week in ukm, now our lecture was end. After break for ‘hari raya’ we have to settle our presentation. we begin with our pbl for contract and consti. For the first time, i spend my time with my group member at library for 2 weeks. We have to find our fact to use in our argument for pbl. I feel enjoy with them because we have good co-operate between us. We started our pbl for Malaysian legal system and followed by consti and contract.
I think, this presentation help us to learn more about law in Malaysia and how to be a lawyer in the future. Besides, it give us more information about the law. We have to find the facts, cases and more for our own self. It is very interesting because we got the experience to depend our client in court..
Now , i have to do my revision for my final exam. I hope the information that i get from pbl can be use for my final. I hope i can do well for my final..good luck for all.
Thanks madam..

the nemesis returns

I cannot run and I cannot hide. After a while since the last final examination, now I will be seeing them again. The worst about it is the nemesis that was hiding all this time has returned. Whoa...sounds like a science-fiction movie. But what I refer as the 'nemesis' is actually my stressful state of mind because the final examination is just around the corner. The stress consumed my life and as the result, I can no longer see colours of university life because in my mind, all I have been thinking is the final examination.

The stress gives me headache. I kept on worrying and wondering that accompanies me during my revision. Questions like "can I get a desirable achievement for the exam? can I maintain my pointer during the whole 4 years so that my scholarship will always be provided for me each semester? Can my parents get what they had hoped for?" mingles around my mind and caused severe stress for me. There is something strange about me. I tend to bottle up the stress and my problems. It is often said that we better share our problems with the others. But I just refused to do so even though I know, it would affect my studies and my health as well. I think the main problem is I did not trust my heart. My heart says I can cope up with the studies. But my mind keeps on doubting my heart. In the end, my mind conquered my heart and eventually, my soul.


A couple of days ago, I went back home to get blessings from my parents. When i was going back to UKM, my mother told me, " I cannot help you. But I wanted to. All I can do is pray for you." At that moment, the sparkle of tears from her eyes catches my attention, destroying the wall of hesitation that I have in my heart. I can see how she expect so much from me. I cannot let her down. I made an oath to myself. I will try my best during the final exam. And for this stress, I will slice it to pieces at all costs even if I only have a blunt sword in my arm.

INTROSPECTION...

this is my last post for this semester!!! I'm feeling awesome because i am going to finish this first semester very soon by doing the finals. i do really hope that i will do my best in the finals and get a good pointer.

first of all, i want to reflect on the so called "pbl", problem based learning. as it is a group work which have to do collectively....i guess that i myself had failed to give full co-operation to my team members. at first i thought that pbl is a small job which can be done very easily...but at last.. it turn up doing misserable in the court room.

this is my first experience as a law student, being a lawyer to my client and being the judge. both of them give me a good experiences where from there i can know how to bring the case to the court and on how to argue our points, till the point on how to give the judgement.

being as a lawyer i guess i had done my job better than anything else. i do really proud of myself because i had become a lawyer and will be the future lawyer...if i am still interested... i hope so.

being a one day lawyer in the appeal court make me feel in the cloud nine. it was a good court room where we, the appellant had bring out our points on the ground that is needed. me and my co-council had delivered our arguments in a way that should be. the same also goes to the respondents site. at last it is the time to give the judgement. we, lawyers from the appellant side was waiting for the judgement and hoping that the judge will give the judgement in favour to us. we was even waiting with all the thoughts running here and there.. whether we can win this case or not, what will happen if we failed and all sorts of things. finally, the judge had given judgement in favour to my client. huh.. we was very happy and thankful to hear about it. from there i had a feel on how a real lawyers feel when they win any cases.

furthermore, being a judge doesn't meant that one have not to prepare the cases very well. this really suits to me where i only rely to the bundles of authorities that given by both appellant and the respondent. being a judge in other hand is really a hard job. this is because we cannot simply give the judgements. as a judge, i think i did not perform well in it, both for asking the question and delivering the judgement. but at last, i manage to give the judgement even though it is really a hard work to do.

from this pbl, i had learned that one should always be prepared in any thing that we are doing no matter it is a small or a big matter. in future, i do hope that i will not make the same mistakes again and will correct myself in it. as experiences is the good teacher in our life, i also do believe that every person will become perfect if they had done or at least make mistakes. from here it shows that the person had tried their best in perfoming well in their work. i also notice that one should always give full commitment in doing things, which really lacking in me right now.

in next semester i hope that i will become somebody who will be more daring in doing things and will build up my confidence in performing my pbl. thats all for now and i would like to thank all my friends and the lecturers for guiding me all this while and hope that i will pay that by perfoming well in my law subject...

thank you everybody!!!.....

Swim To Prosper!!!

I have taken up Swimming as my co-curricular activity. I chose swimming because I love swimming and I think that it is one of the sports that I can perform well in.

The training session starts very early in the morning and I always face the problem of reaching the pool on time. However, our swimming co-curricular is totally and absolutely FUN. I like the trainers and The Boss ( Pn Salmiah). The trainers and Pn Salmiah are very nice person. They are strict during the training but never harsh.

Our simulation activities were superb. We had many competitons and we even had Water Polo. Well, every group got prize because the trainers made sure that everyone at least had prize. The Water Polo was quite a new experience to me because I had never taken part in Water Polo before.
There are some rules for the game.

1. Only one hand can be used when you want to throw the ball.
2. 1 mark will be granted if the keeper managed to get the ball.
3. There are off-lines and the ball cannot pass that line.

The basic rules are like that. Well, our group lost in the end, but still it was a good game and I liked it very much.

The other important activity of the swimming club is organising and coordinate the swimming competition for SUKEM. The members' duty is to become the officers in-charged and make sure the competition run smooth. At that day, I was a participant instead of becoming a officer.

I thought I was good in swimming but I changed my mind after the competition. It's because I have seen some "terrestrial dolphins" during the competition. Well, I admitted that I was lack of training and thus I did not perform well. I felt that I could not breathe well and as if my lung was squeezing out through my mouth in order to get more oxygen.

However, I still managed to get a bronze medal in an event. It's my teammate that performed well. I was just giving an ordinary performance.

I promised that I will perform better next year and will make sure that I have more medals....

towards the end...

well...

this is my last entry...

it's sad to know that it has come to the end...the 1st sem is going to be over soon...I wonder what have I learn throughout this semester???Actually a lot of things...I never though that I will survive at the beginning...but towards the end I know I gain something even though it's not much...I learn how to be a university student,learn how to be a law student...it's hard but I manage to survive for now...

final is just around the corner...I realize that I have miss out a lot of thing...I need to catch up with my study in just a few days...I've been asking myself whether I can do it or not???I cannot answer it,I don't know why...Sometimes I think I'm ready and sometimes I'm not...maybe my preparation is not enough yet...well...whether I like it or not I have to prepare myself harder...I don't want to be sorry later...

I must get ready...no matter how hard it is I know deep down inside me,I know I can do it...I must use all the knowledge and experience that I gain throughout this semester...I must apply them...use them wisely...I hope I can do my best in this final...

to my friends...

thanks a lot,sorry for everything and good luck for this coming exam...

farewell to my EFL blog...

OooOooOoo...
oh my god,is october now and I believe that now is the time where all the students in National University of Malaysia will have not enough sleep or even did not sleep at all just because it is near the end of the semester.

Everybody is busy with their assignment and presentation and of course not to forget final exam is coming.Finally all the lecture finnish include my english for law class.Although I can not said that I have great improvement after this lesson but it is my first time post someting in the blog.Thanks for my lecturer for giving us the chance to have this experiance.I think I will continue doing this if I can manage my time very well in the future.

After finish all the PBL and presentation I feel double R,relief and relax.Now I clear about uni life.You must learn enjoy the process otherwise you will drown in the deep UKM ocean.Talking about my PBL,it is a good experiance to my as I can know what is actually lawyer doing in the court.It is a good exposure for us as we still young in this field.I do not think I did well in PBL but I know I have tried and hope next time I will perform better and give a reason or opportunity to praise myself.

Now I am in the process preparing for the final exam and in this moment only I realise that I have left out a lot of things during last few months in this faculty.It's make me feel I still need more hardwork to survive in this faculty.Eventhough now I still can not clearly see my future but now I know cleary about my main intention in this unniversity is to get the degree and things after that put aside first.Focus,focus and focus.Thanks for reading it.

From an ordinary Kris....

"DONT READ !! "

This is my forth reflection on my studies experience here...at UKM

The final exam is coming through...and i feel that im not well prepare yet..

looking back at my PBL presentation...i feel disappointed...
really-really bad!!..i cant imagine bout my carry mark anymore..

this is what i got...and i dont think i deserved it...
my previous post was about the "teamwork"..
and the result from my TEAMwork here is totally suck..

PBL is a good way in learning something..
and i think its also a good way in developing our social skills..

but...our PBL now is something that i feel can kill us all..
because the PBL is our carry mark and its really important for us...

what im not agreed with PBL is our carry marks and its depends on workgroup..
rather than individual performance...but...just imagine if someone who in the group that didn't care about the PBL
and also never care about the marks...You and your group will failed with him/her...
is it fair??

absolutely NOT!!

but that what i has to faced...and i hope next sem i will have a better groupmate than now..

as long as i can manage to stand with this situation i will try..
and i hope i can do my best for my final exam..

thats All... :(

the end is here

First and foremost,I would like to apologize to Madam Sitha for the very late submission of my post. It was quite a hectic week that we had to face. PBL's,assignments and not to forget,studying. Some of us is also involved in other non-academical activies such as sports and organizations that made ourselves even busier. Personally,I never felt so busy,tired and frustrated in my life. Just imagine,in a week,I must be a councel in a particular legal suite and finding the authorities is not as easy as cake. However,it was all worth it as my group's display in the trial was hugely praised by the lecturers. I was given a huge compilment as they said that my level of confidence was high. Still, I wonder though,as our argument and level of presentation was not that good. After thinking about it for quite awhile,I realize that it may be due to our effort in the past where each and everyone of us,including myself that is,always went to see and have a consultation with the lecturers. I realize that my legal knowledge is still far from expert,thus it triggers me to have a discussion with the lectures from time to time. Only now I know,the lecturers gives extra credit towards student that practice the habit of meeting them and have a discussion.

After realizing this fact,I vow to myself that I will always respect and meet the lecturers from time to time so that they will always have a good eye on me.

Wake up....Yuen!!!!!

Ooh…It is impossible….Today is my Contract PBL and I just finished it in a very ‘memorable way’.It is impossible and unbelievable that this kind of incident will happen on me since I have put efford in doing my research. Before my group enter into the meeting room where the PBL will going to start off, I manage to look at other groups’ members who have brought a lot of reading materials that may help them during the presentation .As the moment I stepped into the meeting room, some kind of uncomfortable feeling restrained my brain .In the meeting room, my colleagues were holding their bundles authority and argument text. However, I have nothing in my hand. I try to comfort myself by thinking that I already well-prepared and will not have any problem in my performance later. But …. I am wrong and come out from the meeting room with a groomy mood and it is a great failure to me. In the PBL , I have made a serious mistake when I failed to identify the applicable Act and misused the authority in a wrong way.
For me, the most significant element that I need to bear in mind is don’t over confidence without based on a reasonable ground. Previously , I thought I will able to perform well and so my lecturers can have a better relief for our PBL. However , I myself is the person that spoilt up my group .This is because of my over confidence on my own ability until not realize that I have been in a wrong track. From here, I feel like want to knock on my head as a punishment for my negligence in doing my work. My performance in the PBL has shown that if I still not realize on my own problem that I will stuck ion the way ti achieve my ambition and life goal.
Having experienced the worst performance that I have presented in the PBL, I feel that the main key to keep myself aware to my weakness is ‘EFFORD’. Initially, I think that I have done my work in an excellent way but after this PBL , I realize that I am not efficiency and proactive in solving any problem. I have learned that if I have any obstacles in solving my problem, I must ensure that there are no leniency and clear confirmation may be carried out to avoid failure . This experience make me feel that if I am not meticulous in doing my work , the effect will not only happen on myself but the people that work with me as well. This understanding is essential to help me develops a positive characteristic and personalities. Otherwise, I will not able to perform in my future because this kind of understanding is important to guide me in doing my stuff in a proper way.
As a saying goes’ no pain no gain’ , therefore if we want to succeed in our life, the only tunnel that I can go along is put more effort and seek advises from other people to ensure that I am on the right track. If I am not try to ‘transform’ myself from now, the only thing I get is ‘FAILURE’ and become the loser forever for everything. I will work harder from now and hope that I will have the chance to experience the taste of success in my future .

Truly Disappointed

From young until now, i have always known as a mediocre, never known as an outstanding student. Sometimes, i wish that i could at least have the taste of an outstanding student but i know i should face the reality than just day dreaming. Although i am an average student, everything i have been asked to do, i will always strive for the best. During high schools and secondary school, i done my job and assignments the best i could. However, i have let myself down today. I am truly disappointed with myself. We had Arab reading exam today and i thought i might be ok with it. It turned out to be really opposite as i thought it would be. In the midst of reading the text, i had difficulties recognizing the words and i read super slow.

I knew at that moment i was screwing up myself and i knew that the words that i read were not accurate. Later, my Arab lesson teacher asked me how did i do for the reading and i honestly told her that i did real badly. She just kept silence and silence meant agree. At that time, i was total dumb stuck and i was obviously upset with myself. I talked to myself saying that " if you at least put more effort in that reading, you would never face this problem today", "perhaps you should take arab lesson more seriously", "you should pay attention in class" and the questions went on and on.

Now, i am in my room, analysing my own problem and really want someone that i can talk to but, i do not know who i should talk to. I want to call my mom to talk to her about it but i do not want her to worry bout me, i want to call my friends but i am afraid that they do not understand my feelings. All i can do now is just to write down this posts as the way to express how i feel. I paused seconds to think, what i should really do in the future to improve my Arab. I do not want to let myself down again and also to my Arab teacher. Yea.. maybe a lot of people might ask me "why do you want to care so much in Arab?? and its no big deal", but honestly to me, when a teacher gives me a bad comment, that will give me a big impact. I know i got to brush up my reading as well as writting in Arab. If i did not help myself, no one will.

My last blog entry =)

Hi everyone, seems time passes by very quick. In a blink of eye, our first semester will end soon.
I will reflect on our course English for law. After studying for pass 3 month, I learned a lot of stuffs. Skimming and scanning really do help me in reading thick case books. It helps me a lot in finding the relevant facts in doing my research for Contract Law and Constitutional Law. I think, skimming and scanning can be apply not only in my studies in the university but through out my entire life.

I also felt that, this course also improved my vocabulary and grammatical skills in English. From, passive sentece to reading for detail, helps me in understanding how english sentences work. Subject, verb and object is something uncommon for me even though I have been studying English for the past 18 years. I thank our lecturer , Puan Sitha in giving us a clear explanation in how passive sentences works. It really helps me in reading judges judgement and cases whereby the entire cases were written in passive form.

Ever day we will learn something in life. I believe that English for Law really taught me a lot in terms of English and in other aspect like how to give a better presentation and doing research for a certain topic or issue.

I think this course not only improved our English level but Puan Sitha had taught us the basic in doing research and understanding how things in life works ( Adapting to certain stuffs if the environment does not adapt to us ). With that, I thank you Puan Sitha once again. I hope we will meet again in the nearest future.

NOT the same old post.

So many things to do yet so little time!Well,actually if I only had planned earlier all my assignments I wouldn’t be as stress and depressed like now,however,my procrastination and lazy-ness did bring out the best in me.For example now Im spending my free time with researching,reading cases and organizing my schedule so that I have time for my beauty sleep.Which by the way had gone from 8 hours to 4 or 3 hours only.

As I read my previous reflection entry I can’t believe how relaxed I am before.Now with PBL coming,Khidmat masyarakat and english assigments I am no longer a relaxed students I really feel like im in a law school people!heck,I even skip meal to attend my group discussion!Nevertheless i don’t feel so pressure but instead I enjoyed it.I really don’t have a clue why,I guess I like the way it kept me busy and make me feel like im working in big shot law firm.Call me a dreamer,I don’t mind.

The fun part,my raya celebration,the crowd was awesome,the food was good and so was the ‘duit raya’.Not to mention I gain weight,serious diet is needed much!Before I forget,allow me to share something I learned during my holiday.First,some things should always remained as it is,for example family tradition.I just realized how important it is to be with our family because it is one the main component in life that made us who we are now. Our family is the one who taught us the right and the wrong so it is important to cherish them.Second, procrastination is never OK,if you want to do something,do it right away,don’t wait because by the end of the day the one who has to suffer is you and you alone.To wrap up my story,everything will turn up well if you choose to embrace every difficulty situation to your best instead of whining about it!

few weeks before the battle...

Rise up,first years!! Its already the end of your heavenly holidays. Aidilfitri holiday was a great time for us to release all our frustration,mainly due to the billions of assignments that we have to endure for the past few weeks. Well,that one week holiday is over. Its back to our core business now,and that is to study. Technically,all our lectures had finished prior our holidays. But there is a catch,it does not mean the end of the semester yet. There is still one tiny issue to be settled before our honeymoon,and that is the final exam. Starting from the last lecture,we have approximately three weeks before we meet our destiny. Most of our final examination marks will be taken from our Problem-Based Learning's assignments. The quoestions are basically referring to a case,where we will be divided into groups and from it,we must choose who will be the judge and also the appelant and respondent's counsel. Discussions regarding the matter have been conducted almost everyday in this dying weeks before the examinations. From this,now only most of us realizes our level of knowledge in the subjects that had been thought throughout the lectures. Some of us are satisfied,some are less than happy. Still,through this given assignment,it helped us to exchange informations among each other,not to forget creating an even close bond between all of us,the first year student.

In this given moment,I woul like to wish a Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims in the faculty,may this wonderful month we will gain more prosperity. Most importantly,good luck in your final examinations. May you pass with flying colours.

Time!!

hello every1...

how are you guys??

I'm very busy here...

Well...

As we all know that every 1st year student now is busy preparing for the PBL...I'm one of them of course...It is the most exhausted experience that I ever had...I have to find a bunch of cases,a lot of discussion and many more...I felt so tired...But I have to do it no matter how tired I am...It's my duty as a student...

Everyday since past few weeks I have to wake up in the morning to come to PUU to have discussion about PBL until evening...Then during night I have to go to Dectar because I have to do rehearsal for my KOKE which is 'teater bangsawan'...I only come back to my college after 12 midnight...

I never thought that I will be so busy until I don't even have time for my friends which are not law student...They were complaining about how busy I am so busy until I don't have time to hang out with them anymore...I felt sorry to them and of course to myself..Why??Because I fell that I don't have life anymore...To busy with all this crazy works makes me crazy...

huh...

I'm exhausted...

But...

All these have teach me how to handle the time...How to appreciate the time as it is very valuable...How to use the time properly...These crazy works make me learn a lot actually...

I also learn the law itself of course by doing the PBL,being a leader,being cooperative with my group members,time management and of course the most important is that I have learn to appreciate my friends...They have been very supportive and give me the strength to continue this journey as I still have a long journey to go trough...

I hope I can endeavour till the end...

p/s: Selamat hari raya semua;-)

IMPROVEMENT...

Hi everyone..... As this is my third entry, i would like to talk something about myself. I know who am i, what i like to do, what i do not know and all sort of things about myself. I can even try to correct myself in any way that should be and still working on it. As i am a slow learner, i felt the difficulty to catch up exactly what the lecteres are teaching all about; certain topic i do really understand. But it seems that i should improved myself by concentrating in studies rather than doing anything which is really not important. I also like to day dream about my life, future caring more in other person. One bad habit that i have is that i always be thinking what people will think about me if i had done anything no matter it is a good thing or else. I always will put my leg in other shoes and also concern about others without failure.

One more about improvement that i want to do is by giving full commitment in doing our pbl. I believe that all the members should cooperate themselves to make it successful. I also do hope that i and my friends would perform well in our works and finish it as soon as possible so that we could concentrate in our final exams. As the pbl carries 30% of the marks, we should not take it for granted. I hope i should and can learn from the mistake that i have done so far in doing assignments and presentation and would do better in future....

3rd STRIKE!!

Hello everyone..this is my 3rd post for our class blog..

what im gonna reflect on here is about a TEAMWORK...
yes...is also related with GROUP WORK..

PBL or problem base learning program is about to start about a week..
so everybody now seem buzy with their assignment and presentation..
there are also somebody who didn't care about it at all..

yes...all the PBL is a GROUPWORK so we need TEAMWORK here guys..
what i learned from the current situation now is TEAMWORK can be suck if there is
someone who don't want to give their full commitment in order to finish the work..

I can feel the tension and I know someone does too..
And there is one of my friends who cried about it..hahaha

The problem I faced here is.. all the subject we got a diffrent's group members...
and more peoples mean more types of behaviour I has to faced..OH GOD help me..huh

In my opinion..All group members must give their full commitment..
at least TRY...there is one of my members that always said "I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO" and "IM NOT CLEAVER AS YOU"...
yes i know its your problem..so..if you dont know..try find a way to know it..
if you not cleaver enough..then try to be it...dont stay there and wait for a HERO to save you..

Huh..for the conclusion..
TEAMWORK is needed in GROUPWORK...
no TEAMWORK...just forget the GROUPWORK..
I also want to say thanks for my group members who give their full commitment in our assignment :O

meet me halfway..

Every single time i been thingking about you..travel seven sea ..i been looking now..this is where i stay..now its just you and i..i will drive until i die for you and i..can you meet me halfway right at the boarder line ..i want you so bad its my only wish..so meet me halfway..i am on the way to you..

(l@w and i)
(--,) = (^^,)

Working together..is what we been doing all this time..its hard for all to give commitment but then its what we need to learn.Moving together as a team !! Yet we all learn from mistake..its make us strong and wise..now i realize how important a good communication and responsible in our self..every single mistake make me realize more about things which seems to be small matter yet had turns out and become a big deal..during this week..with all the presentation and programme base learning..owh..''sweet dream''..everyone..keep moving..lets move together..

freedom of speech
yet
i had become speechless
living in my own world
WITH YOU
MAY GOD BLESS

Holyday Fasting Experience

I had preferred to stay in my college during the Hari Raya holyday.My roommate and I had bought some foods,because we knew that the cafe will closed,and the bus service will not operate during the holyday.The room with the number 007 in block 2 whereby my roommate and I stay is the only room in the block is still lived by human in that time.
Initially,we enjoy our life in the first day of the holyday in collage.The internet is very smooth,and the condition is very quiet because everyone is ‘balik kampung’ already.I spend my time with my computer and books.On the third day of the holyday,we started facing difficulty as we were getting run out of foods.In fact,I could ask my brother and friends to supply us some foods.But we decided to ‘enjoy the pain’,after all we did not want to troublesome anyone because of our own mistake.
‘good luck’,thats what my friend had stated when I mentioned that I would remain in the collage during the holyday.I just eat bread for breakfast and a cup of instant noodles for dinner to reduce the consumption of foods.We spent most of our time by sleep.My intention to reduce my weight sometimes bring me the strength and spirit.On Friday,we just eat biscuit and water .on Saturday, I ask my friend to came to the collage and bought us some food because we can’t take it anymore.The cafe opened on Sunday.
Now I understand how tough are the Muslim as they fasting for a month during the Ramadhan.Actualy,I don’t want to reveal this idiotic and embarrassing experience but I have to do so for the sake of my blog entry...hehe..

My Raya Holiday

It was a unforgotable raya holiday. I really enjoyed myself after meet my friends and my family.I was spend much time with my family and friends.

On 20 September 2009, I went to my malay friends and neighbours house.I went out at morning with my friends. Really enjoyed myself after seeing my friends. 10 of us went into two cars. After visiting our malay peers, we went to sea at mersing.

At afternoon, we reached our destination. Then, when we played games and having funin water, suddenly one of my friend got drowned. he was shout and seek for our help. We was shocked and screaming to seek help from others as we all not well in swimming. Quickly, a guy came and jumped into sea and saved my friend. We managed to save him and pulling out of the water. He was unconseious. We performed CPR on him. After awhile he spitting the water and started regaining conseiousness.

We really scared alot wen one of our friend drowned. On top of that,the drown friend never inform his parents as well that goin to sea. So really dame scared. After that we packed our things and make move from there. The holiday almost become a horror holiday; god sake we fine and safely returned home. An unforgatable raya holiday this year and we decided never go to sea again.

pn.sitha i,m very sorry for the confrence..wont repeat it again

Excited??

Time past really fast and 1 day morning I woke up when I checked the calender only I realise that my first sem is going to over soon.But in my brain the image on MMP week,my first lecture,tutorial in still fresh but now all is going to the end.It is really going speedly and this also give me a sign that final exam is just around the corner and also need to hang in a lot a lot of assignment,presentation and PBL.Am I feel excited???I still remember the time when i was still in Form 6,my senior from university told me that uni life is fun because no need to work so hard to obtain good pointer,but now I only know my table will always full with papers and law books and no time to tidy up my messy table.If my mum see it for sure she will kill me,haha.

Until now i still do not feel confident on myself in this faculty of Law although i have already in this faculty for a few months.I afraid I can not maintain my result in this sem.What I need to do just only force myself to try my best and hope in the exam all the question will be very simple.I think all the first year student also aim for that.Haha.Really hope The God will give me more power to study very hard so that i wont have the reason for me to regret.

Is very near to 3rd of October is Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Malam Persembahan Pentas Pesta Tanglung ke-30.I am very happy to be one of the member in this MC group.I really learn a lot from there.Really need to thank my trainer that always giving me advise and moral support.Now I still practice for the Malam Persembahan Pentas and we still have no idea who will be select to be the MC at that night.If I have been selected,it is another great experiance to me after the Karnival Kebudayaan.Many people ask me why you still joining all these activity as you already very busy with all the assignment,presentation and PBL,and my answer is this is because I love to do so.So I hope i still have the same passion,effort to tackle all the law books.And I hope when people ask me why I want to study law and i will answer him the same answer.
P/S Madam sorry for being late.

Depressed and Disappointed.....

Everyone hopes to be the best in anything. Praised and recognized by others. This is a part of nature. Living creatures love and hate competence at the same time. It is because competency makes sure that only the winners survive. Losers will be eliminated from live. However, not many people willing to sacrifice for their aims in their lives. Hence in our life, the number of loser is far exceeding winners.

Do you grade yourself as winner of the life or loser of the life? I used to grade myself as a very top winner in my life. Now, I grade myself as a loser. I was not serious in my university life. I did not study at all. I put entertainment and leisure before my academic. Friends' invitation served first, then only my assignment. This is what i meant "not willing to sacrifice".

I almost miss up all my classes which start at 8am because of my "unwilling to sacrifice my bedtime". I burn midnight oil to do my assignment at very last minute and thus unable to wake up in the next morning even though I have two alarm clocks with me. I have disappointed so many people. I am disappointed with myself too.

Furthermore, these last few weeks of the first semester had made our lives so hectic and tensed up with the Problem-based Learning(PBL). I was trying to prepare all my PBL during the Raya holidays but I was admitted into hospital due to fever and diarrhoea. I spent half my holidays there. My health condition has declining recently. I have not recovered from diarrhoea yet. It's time to return to the previous healthy lifestyle. Sleep earlier and wake up earlier.

I am highly-depressed and disappointed with myself. I do want a good result and praised by lecturers like others do. Well, i cant imagine a normal people who want to be scolded instead of praised. But, the problem is I failed to do so. I promise myself here, from today on I will not do the same mistake again and I will focus in my study. I will give my full commitment in my study. I will also change lecturers' impression towards me.

It is time to walk out of the depression and failure. I want successes and I will make sure I have them by whatever means and sacrifice necessary.

PS: Puan Sitha, I am sorry for always being late and I will never repeat it again.

3rd Lucky Strike

As we already know,most of the law subject,which i called the three Ukay's(referring to UK10) had completed the syllabus except for Malaysian Legal System(MLS) which had to be extend due the fact that two weeks had been taken from the lecturer herself.This is because of public holiday.Well,enough about that,what i want say is about TIME

I want to know,as i stay longer in this peaceful and harmonious Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia,it seems that my time were running away from me.Do you have any answer for that?for me,i am trying to improve my time management.For you information,this look like silly but most important thing had been in my radar for a long time.I always tell to myself,improve your time management.But,the result was nothing and that because i am not serious in doing this.I wonder but not jealous,how come other people can follow their time punctually.In fact,i can do that but only when i was pressured by someone.But when i'm not pressured by other people, i tend to take things less serious and sometimes,it can be disastrous.I am saying this based on my experience..:)

Talking about time also makes me think, how can i improve my time management..??i had tried many things such as arrange my time-tables,trying to punish myself if i was not following the schedule and other things that i do not want to mention right now..hehe

By the way,if you have any suggestion..you can put it in my comment box..i would like to hear one and might be applying it

The other thing is about my English proficiency,since i pursue my study in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia,i think that the only things that keep improving my English is English For Law course because apart from that,i was only speak Malay .I am also very lucky cause i take law,which mean i can still and need to improve my language because english is the language for law.So,i have decided to do well in my course and used that chance to improve my language.
Before this,i always think that in UKM,you will only speak Malay but now, i had change my way of thinking,if we want to learn something,it does not matter where,what matter most is you.

And finally,it is still not to late to wish all of you SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI 1430

LEADERSHIP V PARTNERSHIP

It has been a long time since the last time I'm a leader of any group or organizations. During my schooldays, i was holding a lot of posts-mainly, the leader. I was the deputy head prefect, the commander for KRS, chairman for PSSGM (silat), the chairman for the club of photography, the chairman for crime prevention club, the chairman for blue house and even the chairman of the mosque! This does not include of me being a leader for small groups of students and being the leader of facilitator in courses. When I was in UITM, I told myself that I should stop of being a leader for a while...So, it went that way. I never wanted to be a leader until now when I'm in UKM. I was chosen to be the leader for the PBL group.

I'm not being cocky about who I was. In fact, I know that some of my friends may have a more bombastic-mumbo-jumbo responsibilities in the past. Which makes they better than I am. What I want to share here is what I have developed through the years of being a leader for organizations. What actually a leader do? before that, what is a leader? Well, according to the Oxford Dictionary & Thesaurus of Current English, a leader is the one who leads. For example director, chief etc. So, leaders are suppose to be followed right? Because if we rebel against our own leader, the organization or the group that we formed is at the brick of banishment by our own disobedience. It is like building a sand castle near a shore where a tidal wave is approaching. So, to ensure the group or whatever we have formed lasts long, the leader are suppose to be effective right? Effective in what sense? Maybe the leader needs to make the right decision in every situation? does the leader needs to make the right decision all the time? the leader can never go wrong? should the leader make his own decision without considering what others may think?

This is the time where 'partnership' come into the picture. Through my years of being a leader, I have learnt that we are humans. We do make mistakes. Sometimes, our so called normal-without-a-post group member may got some ideas that even I as the the leader may not think of. What damage would it cause if I put their ideas into consideration? plus, we can work hand by hand and I believe, by this way of treating my colleagues, they will respect me even more. I'm saying this because i can see these values are lacking in my surroundings. I do know and I truly understands how it feels like being a leader. There are some leaders out there that cannot cope with the stress, they starting to give up and blaming each others. In my opinion, a group or organization is not composed of the leader only. Actually, the group itself is the leader. Each and every member of the group carries the responsibility to lead themselves. Not by just relying to one person.

I do understand about how hard being a leader. Because of that, I'm applying what I refer as partnership in my leadership for the PBL group. By this method, we can work together as a group and respect each other.

In conclusion, a leader needs to know how to tackle various situations that may happen in a group so that they can find the exact solution for every problem that they are facing. Last but not least, maybe the title of this post can be changed from Leadership v Partnership to leadership needs partnership.

My Break

After all the hard works and tiredness and also lake of sleep, the sem break finally arrived and i can 'balik kampung' to see my beloved family. There is been a long times i haven't going back home and during my life at UKM, it really teach me how to appreciated all the times we have with our family members especially when all of us grown up and will have our own life, to gather together as a family will getting harder as all of them are busy with their own life and jobs.

Back to my reflection, for this is my first sem break as a university student maybe not mush different with school break accept for me i need to travel far to going back home and take a very tiring journey all the way home. But before i can really going back home, there is a important duty, or actually a camping that i had sign in to attend it. The aim of the camping is to gather all the students especially from Sabah and Sarawak, who are not going back on the sem break to take part and join the activities. At the beginning, it is quite tough for me because i dont even know one of them and that the chance for me to build up my social web or network with other side of my own world. For the first time of my life, i finally can meet such great students that same races with me. As personal, im grown up in a such multiracial community and never had a chance to experience living in my own culture and communicate with someone that are same ethnic like me. Maybe some mind thing it is ridiculous and not important but for me, i have been living a far from my own culture and races makes me feels that it is important to me to search back my background. From the gathering, it is really help me to cope all the curiosity within me. Finally i got the chance to speak by my own language with others than speak the same with me although my Iban language is bad. Furthermore, the camping truly give a lot of benefits to me because im not only can explore my own culture but also gain so many knowledge and experiences throughout my 4 days and 3 night at Johor.

After the incredible tripped at Johor, it is time for me to enjoy my rest and holiday at home. But im not going to wasting my break by sleeping and eating for the whole days left. So, as it is still in the 'Raya' mood and still in the moment of festive, i decided to have a '1 Malaysia' trip to all my Muslim friends that celebrated Hari Raya. Why i call it '1 Malaysia' trip, because all my friends comes from different races, religion, and culture stick together in one car to celebrated Hari Raya. It seem like common to us, but to me as a Malaysian that really show us who Malaysian is and such things may not happen without congeniality. We should realize and back to basic on how to take care of our Malaysian, by the simple things that we do it is not only can bring us together but it also can makes us apart. Festive season always be the best times to unite all the Malaysian together under the one roof of Malaysia and learn others culture as it is our responsible as a part of this community.

The so-called break up letter.

Dear the chosen one,

I have a feeling you knew this time would come. And I have to say that it's not you, it's all me.(The typical I'm-not-that selfish-lines)

You and I have been through months of moments that we shared together and our relationship has been pretty good. Up until now. You never demanded exclusivity and I didn't imagine I'd need to go anywhere else for something I could look up to. It has always been you. But lately, if you have actually noticed, it has been a rocky situation for us both. I noted the fact that we've known each other too well yet that does not suffice much for me to hang on with you. Bits by bits, I'm losing hopes on you and if you ever realized, things were totally different when we first started out. You have always enthralled me and everything felt easy and hassle-free that I assumed my previous life with you was an almost like a bed of roses. So conveniently linked to you and these people around me have always been there as my support system to keep us together still. All I ever had to do was sit back and focusing on you. Not much efforts I had to put, as you obviously can see.

But now? I can see the vast differences. I don't know whether this would come out right or will only worsen the situation yet I can no longer hold it back. I have to let you know that all the passion and enthusiasm I once felt with you are diminishing gradually. I used to look at you knowing that out of all those promising options I had, you'd fit me best mentally, physically, and emotionally. I admit that you used to be everything that I wanted and dreamt of. I enjoyed getting to know you. Every inch of you left me with curiosity that induced myself to discover and explore you more tirelessly. Chosing you boosted up my pride as I know only few souls are that lucky to be with you. You created wonders, hopes, inspirations, and aspirations for my life and made me a better person by being with you. With you, I learned how arguments can be excruciatingly annoying yet fun at the same time. You teach my heart and mind to speak meticulously. I was practically trained by you and having you running in my head daily, never wears me out. I constantly have been told by them that by keeping this relationship with you, I will have a great future that is yet to be unfolded. But in order to actualize that dream, I have to be strong-willed and have a high capability of tolerating you always. Each of your needs and demands despite that will annoy me to the core. Eventhough in the beginning my dad was going against my choice to go for you, I paid no attention because I knew that you won't let me down. Do you still think that this relationship is the best for us? I doubt that.

There are times I can profoundly feel that we belong together but when all these hardship and tests come along the way, my pessimist side is unleashed. At times I neglected you but come to think of how crucial it is to get back with you, I would go and get back on track with you. Well, since you are a very practical person, I bet you need strong reasons on why things are never the same. Firstly, I figured out that you are too clingy for me. You demand way too much time and attention from me. I find it hard for me to spend my time with my family and friends. In fact, it has been forever since I spare a quality time for myself. You have engulfed most of my weekdays routines and lately it has always been you who have been occupying my to-do list. Secondly, no matter how hard I tried to satisfy you, but to no avail. Instead, I always end up in disappointment and parts of me still feel rather unfullfilled. It is like everything I do to bond us back is never going to be enough for you. You complained that I haven't been putting much efforts to make this work. For once, give me a break. I'm just 19 and I deserve to enjoy my youth and not being suffocated with this kind of life commitment. I am not an anti-social hermit breathing under your sleeves. I have another thing I am obliged to focus on to which is called Life. Have you heard?

Thirdly, you are such a control freak. You just can't stop telling me what's wrong and what's right for my life. Mind you, I am mature enough to distinguish that. For whatever grounds you have to warn me with your threats and daunting words, there will always be someone who will disobey you. They don't feel intimidated over you. I am no different, so be my guest. I know this might sound rude, but in the meantime of all the headache and heartache you have given to me. I have to admit, that I've been indulging myself with someone else. Not in a serious sort of way. Hang on, I am not cheating on you. I need to unwind and evaluate myself of what I really want in my life to keep me contented. It's just that I had a thought of how relaxing my life could have been if I were to go back to my first love. The one I've always pictured myself building a long term commitment with. I should have not turned my back on him and realized that by being him, things will be easier and less suffocating. He does not have much for me to discover and to tolerate with as he is a simple creature compared to you. You are so complicated and hard to keep up with. You are just way too much for me to handle on a daily basis. As months go by, things get harder for me and not the other way round and I should be aware of that so that I won't be lost in translation. The thing is, I have been too preoccupied by you that if I ever let you go now, it'd be my greatest mistake. I have ran out of time to turn back to my first love and enjoy the idyllic life with him.

I don't know how much longer I should pretend as if my complacency can withstand the burden you're giving me lately. As much as I don't want to go on living up my life for years being relentlessly drained mentally and physically by you is as much I have come to a conclusion that it's too late to make up my mind and be with someone else. Of all the rantings I wrote here, I still have feelings for you my dear, although they don't feel the same anymore. After days of scrutinizing my future, I believe that we stand bigger chances of still being together. If you can actually try to put yourself in my shoes right now and fathom the dilemma I'm having, I guess this relationship wouldn't be this arduous. Do tell me if I need a change as that's what necessary to keep the relationship going. Please don't let me down again. I've come a long way to reach this stage of owning you. I can't back down as I've made several foolish mistakes in the past and I want you to know that I want to grow old with you and serving our kids and the public with whatever you have taught me about life.

So yes, help me to patch up this broken pieces and redefine our relationship, Mr. Legum Baccalaureus*

Desperately waiting,

Mia M Nor (1L)

Don't worry, I'm still a law student deep down here and I won't settle for less. Please enjoy the video below. It illustrates us, the Law students who pretty much had a 'life' before they enrolled any law schools. :) It will crack your head even more.Enjoy your break and a Happy Eid Mubarak to all Muslims and may you have a good one this year.

hardship

Hi Mdm Sitha and all of My friends.Firstly I would like to wishing you all Selamat hari raya Aidilfitri and may all of you have a pleasant Holidays.Regarding to my reflection on everything that i had gain few months before and the result tfor the test that I had sat.Not to mention all ther preparation that I need to struggle on in doing my best for that precious 30% marks in our pbl.Problem based Learning is basically about our own responsibility in searching and discovering new submisssion for our studies which is involving Contract Law and Federal Constitution. This subject need us to perform well in delivering the related submission in mooting. Yes, mooting. That practically needing you to actually perform yourself in any role such as the judge, the respondent councils and the appelant.In this matter I have been appointed as the respondent in Contract Law while in Consti I play The role for the Judge.Hence I need to be more prepared not as usual as i need to play even harder in this field in order to survive for this semester. and i know that i will be in that place someday but somehow I neet to follow my guts that nothing in this world comes cheap.I need to pay for sums of effort in realizing my dreams and what not.So, books and cases will only be on my fingertips like my Contrac law had said,Puan Sakina that really opened my eye about everything that I have experienced before.Every hurdle that I have and will faced will draw Extra miles in my journey throughout the aim in success.Now, about the test result in English For law, though i know that I havent learn well in it as i still searching the essence of it. The subject itself give the meaning by not easy but importance in having me being good command in English in order to survive in those big career world coming ahead to me after 4 years in reading Law.I dindnt do my best in this course and I dont surprise with the marks but what i am so dissapounted is of course myself, i do take this as lightly as i could when i have to seperate my time on more important subject and that is my biggest mistakes. I shouldnt think and act like it.What can i do right now is to find that key of balance for all my subjects so that i will not miss any of it..... So for those that score high in this subject, congratulations for all of you and for me myself i need to stand here for understanding the whole process that i need to go through.Thanks for all the support and perhaps we will see again in 4 years time Insyaallah.Bye and please enjoy your raya as i mention to myself over and over again for just enjoying this holiday before I'm going to work hard after this break so Enjoy.

Nothing is FREE

"No stress, no stress, no stress, just turn into your left left left" this is a sentence of a song sung by Jesse Mccartney and i desperately need those words.haha. I am sitting in my room in Kolej Rahim Kajai while most of my friends have already went back to their hometown.Sometimes it is good to have some time all on your own and do the stuff that you enjoy the most. It have been ages since i last did my favourite past time activities and i wonder will i have that opportunity again?

Alrighty! Lets get into my reflections. Back to our hometown for a week do not seem to be a very long period of time. Time will surely passes by super fast with tons of work to be done and revisions. Over the past few weeks, the students have been in real hectic life, completing their assignments to beat the deadlines. Group work is when the time everybody will either have co-operation or conflicts or even both. I truly understand those frustrations some of them had to undergo due to some bad circumstances because i have experienced that countless of time. I know it is hard to have everybody in the group to have the same objective or you would say consensus ad idem. However, i believe by communications or having dialogue with each other, the problems will be solved but i will not say 100%. To be able to achieve what we want as a group, each and everyone of us need to give not just take.

Other than group works, i found out that not everyone is helpful enough to help you in your studies. I seldom encounter this problem during my high school time and after i have studied here for few months, now i have learnt that i got to face the reality of life which is ''Nothing is FREE". Nothing is free here means i will not get the help from others without giving them something in return for that. Therefore, in order to survive this, i got to be independent enough and also to be smart enough (hopefully). haha. All and for all...this is what i call life....there sure to be ups and downs...the only difference is that, the way i look into my problems. If i am optimistic enough, then things will be much be easier.

Still not enough.....HOW?

Yeah...This is the last week we going to finish our first semester syllabus.I am not sure whether this is something that can we cheering up o not.Why I say so?Honestly, I have some kinds of uninvited feeling in my minds.I am not sure whether i can maintain my academic performance in a excellent way as i tried before in my STPM.I really worry about the new things happening around me.It's seem everthing still keep changing and I think I am totally loss out.

Withtin this week,we will going to finis up our MLS,CONSTI and CONTRACTS lecture.However,my curiosity and uncertainty on all the compulsory subjects make me
frustrate and I really unsatisfify with my own performance.I still grapping in a dark tunnel and don't know where is my final station to stop by.I have the feeling that the things happening around me really challenging my own ability.i hate this kind of feeling because i afraid that i can't make it and will be thrown out from the "express train'in my lecture hall. I already realise that I can't just stick to my outdated method to catch out my academic .

In the past two months, I have attended in every lecture and what i get is just have curiosity ang vagueness.I am confious about the rules and principles that really really important in my contracts law.Even if I can understand,there are no use at all becuase I have the problem to apply all the rules in the proper way.I am sad to look at my lecturer expression when we unable to give an accurate answer during the revision week.I can feel that they are totally frustrated.Our lacturers have told us that our group is not good enough if compared to our our seniors.However, I as a part from this badge has try my best to perform.I try to contribute as much as I could and not to make my lecturers dissapointed.However, when i am giving an inacurate answer,the effect will be more discouraging.The same condition happen in my MLS nad CONSTIL where I realise that I am not able to comprehend it well.This is the major problem that really make me worry about.

Although next week will be Raya Holiday but it's not an relaxing holiday at all.This holiday is the only time for me to get myself well-prepared and not being thrown out from the 'express train'. I hope that i really can cope with this and will not make my parent dissapointed. This is because my parent's special clause 'Be the best, be the hope and fight the worse'.I will use all the time I have in the coming holiday to cope with my weaknees and do the best.I want be a good models to my siblings and in the same time keep my parents' hope alive.....n Prof I trust that all group will present the best in the coming PBL week and hope it will give an relief to our lecturers' efford.
