Too Late In Everything.....

Seem like I'm the last one to do everything......

I'm the last one to get enrolled into UKM......
I'm the last one to enter and post my "speech" on this blog......
I'm the last one to pass up my homework.......
Why I'm the LAST one in everything????

Is it because I'm not as clever as other?
Or because I'm slow in studying?
Or because LAW does NOT suit me?
Maybe all the answers above stand????

I found the life in UKM quite hectic. I seem like very busy. But when friends ask me what program i've joined. Yet, I could only reply them 2......
Only 2.
Then, here comes the question "Why?"
Why I look so so so busy?
I think it's because my time management is not very good.....
Yeah, that's why I failed to organize my activities,

So, I should improve my time managing lo^^

Hahahaha!!!!!

By the way, there is one thing I managed to be the FIRST.
That is I became the first one to sleep in Prof Sakina's class.(sorry...I was too tired(T.T)/)
I was punished to do exercise in front of class......and run circling the kuliah room.....
So shame..... Hahahaha!!!!!!

But so far....
I like UKM.
I love Law's Faculty.
And I love everyone I've met.
All my lecturers and all my friends.
Thanks to you all...
I LOVE you all.

Commencement

Im the only student from my school(SMK Methodist Sibu) who enter National University of Malaysia in the year 2009.It is quite complicated when I started a new life in this new environment without any friends or any companion.


The new langguage and the new cultures are sorts of challenges that i have to face.Initially,to understand the local accents is the main problem.It is quite hard to communicate with the others-especialy with the 'Kelantanese'.


No wonder,because im a sarawakian(and my accent is different).But,somehow I learned to adapted myself to the condition step by step.Now,my communication skill is getting better(althought still not really impressive).


"Why I prefer to read Law in the university?why I choose the course?"the question always surrounding my head.

During the 'Minggu Mesra Pelajar' we were exposed to a lot of things about the course.I knew, Im in a right track.Not only could be a lawyer,I could work in any government enforcement department-especialy Police Department(my target).I could work with Wisma Putra or being a legal advisor in any company as well.No more frustrating day.

I have to focus to this new journey.Im here not for other things except change!

dejavu......

Assalamualaikum and hi to whole bunch of my classmate and mdm sitha.Apparently, this is like my second trial in publishing this post..... is a nightmare and i think it is not appropriate for me to share it here because it is way too much to handle..... hahahahaha..... thanks to my friends i finally manage to post this in a hurry...... Now i just helping my mind to settle down becuse of the emotion crisis..... i will try to write as fast as i could since i am still practicing my fingers in searching and pressing the right alphabet because i am not like and it person yet i'll try my best.Alright, enough with the emotions thing..... REFLECTION.....what can i say about it.... i guess dear god Allah had give me this chance to taste the college life.... it is my biggest dream to be a college student and being ukm student is just a blessing for me.... thaks to him again.Now, frankly, law is not my main choice in furthering my studies because i think i see myself as a person that can help almost anyone.... and deep down inside my heart, i still want to be a teacher..... i love to help my friends in our studying and they also turn to me if they facing with obstacles or any hard circumstances.though i will not surely help them but at least i might loosen their burden a bit.... ironically, i am not choosing the teaching course in upu..... how weird is that...But then i realise it is not about the course that i choose, it is about how i manage it well mentally and physically throughout the whole semester.... So, reading law must be a big, no enourmous for me to survive for the next 4 years.....I will try to derive every inch of my idea and thought in placing myself in the right path.... Still, i have to do my duty in helping my parents and my family and i want them to be proud for who i am and not what i am..... i love my abah, Hj Misran and my dearest mak Hjh Jamilah, my Brothers, Nabil, Dolah and Aman.Perhaps i should be like a coin, where there is a two side of them.Once it flip, it shows the different views and perspective thanks to mdm Sitha that analogy this.... and perhaps i could be like the flip of coin, towards positive things i guess...... and who knows i would be the next mpp like abg phoon (secret admire) hahhahahaha.....

gosh, is it formal for me to laugh like that......

Sorry for THE Inconvenience......

...If you ask me,i said we can do it...

assalamualaikum and hello to everyone....

The first thing to say is that this is actually a new experience for me as i am never had the experienced in posting something that they called"blog".But it's okay,as we need to be brave to try something new.

The topic that i would like to say is about the significance of Yasmin Ahmad in our filming industry.She was very talented in her area of working that is film director,writer,and scriptwriter.

I think that almost all Malaysians that have watched the Petronas commercial will say that they fall in love with the commercial due to the humour,heart and love that cross the cultural barriers.

Do you still remember the commercial of "The love of Tan Hong Ming with the adorable Umi Qazrina","How to spell dinosaur" and watching the story of Tan Thiam Hock in the Chinese New Year Commercial of 2008 simply just make me cried as it was very touching and the fact that we can broke the cultural barrier is exist.We can achieve that....:)

I wonder can we really achieve what we saw in the brilliant and close to our heart commercial..??

Can we really put aside our differences and live as what that is is supposed to be 1 Malaysia..??

Sincerely,i hope so and i am very positively think that we can achieve the goal...with this smiley as a proove of my hope...:)

As i said before,this was my first time blogging and i am very thankful towards the course English For Law and Pn Sitha herself

I have learned something new today and i will remember this always

With that, i rest my case for now...ngeee...

new air, new life

hello everybody.... as this is my first entry i would like to share about the experience since i am in UKM. I was placed in IBU ZAIN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT HOUSE (IZISH). I am very proud to be here as this is the most famous and have a very good facilities. Apart from that my room mate is my schoolmate. Can anyone imagine how lucky i am because i got a friend whom i know? In my college there are many activities that had been conducted such as family day, cultural day, sports day and many other activities.

Trough out staying here for a month even though i had to go home because of chicken pox, i felt that this is my second house and i feel comfortable staying here. Talking about two weeks mc and going back home, actually i really miss my friends, lectures, and the classes. In the house i was wondering what my lectures was teaching and the classes that i had missed. After coming back here i felt that i am still the junior and do not know and understand what the lectures are teaching all about. in this case my friends is helping me out to understand the subject and on how to read the cases, and from where we can find the details abaut contract law.

Basically i am not good as other people are in this law faculty. This is because i am a quiet person and will not talk as good as other people are talking. In future i do hope that i will change my way of thinking and always look forward to make my life better.

As a last word i feel very lucky to be here as one family, one UKM and one Malaysia. This is i new challenge in my life and i hope that i can meet it, face it, and achieve it. I want be a good example to my siblings and make my family proud of me.

underpass tutorial

morning everyone..

since we all had a freedom of speech,i would like to share with all, about an issue that keep coming in my mind.I have read some debate issues at yahoo for the last several weeks and it was a disscussion about a topic on ''social mobility''.Some how this social mobility makes me wonder ''do we face this issues in malaysia? especially among the professional field such as law and science.I dont know about other people thinking but i do realize this was not an simple issue.Even our prime minister have had brought up this issues among the felda and i do believe we in malaysia was not practically aware of this social class.Does actually social class hold someone back from being in a professional field?.thats is a questionable ..is malaysian a social mobility or an immobility?..so many question pop up when i read about this issues.But on the other hand,from my point of view,nowadays we do not really take serious about the social class because of the modern lifestyle that we had now compare to day where malaysian was not expose themselve to a political issues.It changes malaysian somehow when some of us who alert about this issues and had brought it up.Well i think its enough for this topics,by the way,this is only an opinion from my view,we all share and have our own opinion,so,peace to all..

Secondly,as a student i really do, thankful that i have the english for law class.It does opened my mind somehow when madam sitha always wanted us to share our point of view for an issue.It make me realize how important do i need to aware of news or hot issues that involve around us.It does change myself from being ignorance to a knowlageable to our environmental.I do realize that we all need to have a critical thingking and not just being a negative person like i use to.Now iam in a process to evaluating myself so that i could respond trough our learning process.When i look back,english for law also does help me somehow in studies.For me, taking this class have help me to learn more about our legal system and about our constitution compare to the other country.Learning the grammar also help me in reading the difficult law cases.Thank GOD.This class does change my perception and help me in studies.

Having blog somehow is a new approach in learning studies.This kind of approach was intresting and since i like to surf the internet for me there is no problem in doing a reflection trough this blog.It is a tremendous changes when a learning process had involve this far in many ways and not just in a class but also in a virtual style.(^^,)

When i think back,i never imagine myself being like this,i mean,to read news and aware of what happen around us,get to read law and being in a first year in universities is the hardest thing i could ever imagine.But still being in UKM is totally cool and i do start to love and manage myself here.What i hope in future is that i will get more and more knowledge and will open up my mind as a better person and a good student...lots of love to all..muahxxx...(^^,)

a new challege..

hi, human. this is what i had learned from Jeremy which he always mentioned before he is going to tell us something!!

erm, actually till now i still unable to adapt well with the life in fuu! there is something that make me feel weird at there! although i came from matriculation and quite used to the life of getting along with people of different races but still i feel that there is a barrier which stop me from socialising with them! for what reason, i'm still exploring!! wahaha..

however, i do enjoy with the activities organised in our college! currently i am staying in college rahim kajai! this is a small college with limited facilities! but maybe because of this, everyone in kajai seem like brothers and sisters!! wahaha.. this can be proved by our victory in the "perang dectar". "perang dectar" is one of the unforgettable memories for me in ukm!! it was really something that i never experienced before and i hope that i can join next year!! wahaha..

i bet a lot of them from stpm or matrix may still confusing about what law is all about(cause i'm also one of them) but don't worry, it will some come to an answer! what we should do is take this as a challege, believe in yourself and be patient! everything will be fine soon(this is what i''m always telling to myself).

kris,my 1st 1

hu,,i shall start with my short essay with a simple word that describe my life now in ukm~busy.
the first week in UKM.i know how precious to have enough sleep,huh..and of cause busy as well .So to all my beloved friends,please get enough sleep.

When i start my class in Falculty of Law,i feel a little bit "blur" because everything seem to be new to me,but now getting better.i hope I won't be in blur again in the future.Haha.
now I am also in busy because I join many activities in UKM,for instance Pesta Tanglung,Mandrain Class,so now i really have to know the effective way to manage my time better.
Instead of that,I also miss my hometown(Penang)very much,not only the delicious food,but I do miss my mum,my dad,my siblings as well.Really hope I have time to go back and give a big hug to my family member.

Nevertheless, I do have to write about my brand new english tutor,Puan Sitha and also my english for law class.I am quite comfortable with the class because no stress and less work to do compare with my other law subject.I do believe I can improve myself in speaking,writing,listening and vocabulary as well by following the english lesson.
"Aut Coepisse noli aut confice"

life in campus

assalamualaikum...
First at all ,i'm very glad to be here.I'm so thankful to God because at last i got my first step toward my ambition.This is my first choice because I believe this university will bring me to the next level of my life.Before this,I had came to this university for times.
I'm so exited when came to this faculty for my first time.I know that i have to face a lot of good and brilliant person here whose came from STPM, Asasi and Matriculation.Meanwhile, my result it not good enough to compared with other person.But, i have to face it because i have a mission here that only me know it and of course Our creator know it.My first class here is English For Law and the first 'latin' word that i know here is 'çonsesus ad idem' in contract class and the word i'm still remember until now.Today, I have already to face anything here and i will always keep my spirit to have a high of confident level..
Something that i not understood here is about 'DECTAR WAR' when MMP is going to introduce the new student about this university.I'm always thinking about that since it happened.I don't understand why it must be happened eventhough the senior should showed a good attitude to the new student to became a good leader in the future.I'm very sure this thing will happen next year and will become a tradition of this university.If this thing happen like i said, our university will not to be the number one university although it have many perception to be number one university in this country.I hope,we as a new student will change this tradition next year if we become a part of family to conduct the new student next year.Here, i have a word that come from our prophet 'a good friend is not the whom always give a good word to us but a good friend is always tell the truth to us although it hurt to us accept it'.i.m sorry because my english is so bad

The awakening.

Hello people.

First of all, I am impressed of Madam Sitha's way of including an interactive method in her learning by letting us to voice out our opinions here. Needless to say, how this blog helps as a reliable instrument for the Law students like us being accustomed to expressing their expressive thoughts and reflections pertaining to certain issues.

I guess, I will be pretty much rambling about the same things like our fellow friends previously did. The orientation week, the comparisons, the I-am-so-grateful-I-have-gotten-a-place-in-UKM sort of entries. Well, that's normal. Everybody whines and rants. To be brutally honest, UKM wasn't really my ultimate choice of pursuing my degree programme. I was in UiTM Shah Alam, doing Foundation of Law for two amazing semesters and if possible, I would love to resume my studies in the same institution because I find it hard to adapt with new places and environment. I was losing hope on pursuing law for some undefined reason, so I basically presumed I will be given courses that won't put me in a hot soup, i.e TESL or Mass Communication. I remember well enough how I've been here in UKM a few times to many when I was a kid. It felt like a safari trip and it sent adrenaline rush to my body seeing the exquisite greenery. The only different is, it's being surrounded with 'intelligent residents'. Oh, hang on. Have I mentioned about who was insanely happy when I got in here? My dad. Just because he's a graduate from UKM and he thought it's a freaking legacy. Not to mention of his stereotyped thinking that I can never graduate splendidly in UiTM for it's not a multi-racial learning institution and Shah Alam is like a pitstop to KL that his only daughter might have gone wild to be studying there for just another 4 years.

I was so reluctant to be here actually, but dad's dream to see me succeed, has brought me to an awakening realization. I should set aside my selfish side and think of others as well. It's not like I put him as the reason why I am still here, but I figured out that living up to our beloved ones' dreams can most probably lead us to attainment for the blessing is there. In the sense of making our way to materializing our dreams, to have them our parents as our motivation sources and our pillars of strength can come in handy. After all, UKM is not that bad. It provides us with good facilities and a conducive learning situation. The Law Faculty itself gives me goosebumps and for the time being, it is nervewrecking to have attended Contracts Law classes with Dr. Suzanna as my lecturer. My name has been called out without failed to answer her. She's the only woman who is able to buckle my knees and made me sweat in a freezing lecture hall. It's either she likes my name or I've always looked lost in her lecture. I bet, the very next time my name is being called out, I won't hesitate to change my name or do a plastic surgery. As in for EforLaw classes, in spite of the fun learning condition, I like the fact that Madam Sitha calls me Nadiah. Nobody has ever called me that name before. Not even my parents. Isn't that cute? :) Apart from that, Bandar Baru Bangi itself has many cool spots for a foodie like me. I just can't wait to explore more.

I have been traversing life for 19 years, when it gradually shows that changes can be good at times. I am not saying I am too dependent and clingy. I was in boarding school for five consecutive years that I've learnt, when you're being independent, whatever that you've done the blame is all yours to be taken. Right now, this second is what I'm battling with is to stay focused by making full use of the constructive changes that UKM provides for me in building myself back. We can't always have we want, people. I know, I may not have the same relaxing and convenient times like I had before in Asasi. Kolej Pendeta Za'ba might look scary at nights and the fact I had to hold my pee until the very next morning. The buses may be not sufficient and I may be apart from my bestfriends who happen to be in UM. I may have to endure this painful long-distance friendship. I may feel lost and vulnerable wondering how can I fill my spare time here. Yet, I believe I can make it through and all that I ever need would be perseverance and a cool ride to get me mobilized. No. Wait. A guy who drives a dope ride, generous but stupid. Bravo, Mia. You technically added up subtlety in your complaints and comparisons sections by sprinting an inspiring hope at the end of the lines.

Oooh, as I'm typing this. I can see monkeys outside my room, doing their evening parade.

This is so like in the movie. With the jungle ambience surrounding me.

If I am your Jane, will you be my Tarzan?But um, please put on your pants first, if you don't mind.

Till then♥

The Story of My ''Extraordinary'' Life Begins Here

Laksa, Hokkien Mee, Char Keow Teow- you name it, we have it here at Penang but sad to say that it is difficult to get those in UKM-Bangi.

Hi to my fellow buddies and beloved ones! I am sitting here and will start to write on my 1st month of 'extraordinary' life in UKM. Getting law in UKM is something which surprised me because i never ever imagine myself studying in 'National University of Malaysia' but the i have ONCE imagined myself walking into University of Malaya (pardon me. :) ) I started to transform my not-so-positive thinking into something much more better after reading a 'Cosmic Magazine' during my 2nd week here. According to the magazine, it stated that ''students should be glad that they have places in University and all of the students must grab this chance and make the best out of it.Never give up so easily and remember, every struggles make you a stronger person''

I totally agree with what i have read. To me, not everybody is so lucky to get a place in local Universities. Each time I openend my law books to study, I will study the laws for the sake of the people who do not have the opportunities to learn. The less fortunate people have actually given me the motivation to stay on whenever i face any problems. I have learnt not to grumble so much and to appreciate the things we have in the present.

Apart from the education side, based on the 4weeks of stay in UKM, I got to admit that i LOVE the environment. Even for the first time i stepped into UKM, i could sense a good aura coming from the University and i fall in love with the trees!!! So i guess to me, ''Love at first sight'' is not a myth anymore. I know in the future, I will be able to learn a lot of things from my everyday life, getting to know more and more people with different backgrounds, try the new challenging activities that i have never tried before etc. Speaking about challenging activities, i find that mooting is something eye catchy for me as we learn how to moot for the 1st time during our contract tutorial. I definitely learnt the way we should speak in the court and how to talk with confident. Lastly, I do really hope that i will never stop having fun in my studies and at the same time with the guidance of the lecturers and friends, I will be able to go through a positive transformation. Cheers!!

A Start!!!

Hello there everyone!!!

This is my first entry...

Actually there are lots of things that I wanted to share with you guys but madam has limit us,hehehe....Well,I'm going to start of with the first week i'm here in UKM which is the orientation week.I think it was horrible yet there is something that I have learn from that week.It was tiring,annoying,full of anger but still I'm having a little bit of fun.I have learn to be more open minded in accepting other people's ideas and accept how they see something which is differ from me.

The activities that had been done throughout the week also make me realize who am I as a person and make me appreciate myself more.I also realize that there are many more potential in myself that I never thought that I have before.Through that week I know that I can be a better person than who I am before and I must try to be positive in every single way in order to make me as a better person to myself,family and friends.

From this week I also get to know many different kinds of people.Some are weird,some are ok and the others are awesome.I tried to be friendly with everyone but of course there are some people who cannot mix around.I tried to be positive by thinking that they never actually went out to the "real world" yet and don't really know how to mix around.So I took it as a challenge and tried to get close with these type of people but seem like they prefer to hang out with their kinds only so I just let it go.Keep moving,hee...

Reflection on VC English Debate Cup - Jeremy

Hi everyone !
Last week I have been practising for the VC English Debate Cup and I never joined debating before, So what I want to reflect on is the experience that I gained during the 2 weeks of debating.

Personally, I think debate actually improve a lot of my confidence in terms of speaking in public. It also helped me in thinking critically and spontaneously. Before this, talking spontaneously is a no no for me because I tend to get anxious when speaking in public. This always ended up with me mumbling because I speak too fast.

So,the confidence that I developed in debating actually helped me in terms of delivering my speech whereby I finally managed to improve my way of conveying my thoughts into a proper speech and not just speaking without structure.
All this skills actually can help me in the future since becoming a lawyer,we have to
be confidence in our argument in order to defend our client.:)

Furthermore,Mooting is sort of like debating too,whereby it's all about defending a case and point out the flaw in the opponent case so that the verdict is on our side. So, I think debating actually did gave me a good start in FUU.

The Other Side Of Me..

"National University of Malaysia". Once my parents know about the offer, I can see that they were happy. That was the time where triumphant tears shed. After struggling hard in asasi programme to get a place in law school, well, here I am. A place where I was always been hoping to be in. That is, The Faculty of Law in UKM.

That was the emotional part, now the reflection moment. Firstly, I want to reflect on the process of learning. To tell the truth, only now I can tell how it feels like being a law student. This is because when I was doing my asasi programme in UiTM, the lecturers always gives us notes. But not here in UKM. At the first thought, I felt like I'm going to die here. But on the second thought, I know my lecturer did this for the sake of our goodness. They want us to learn how to be independent, hardworking, how to produce a superb quality of work that we did with our own efforts, and most importantly they want us law students to be able to think critically as to be a legal practitioner, critical thinking is indeed important.

Next, I want to reflect on this course. How do I feel along the way. The course has no problem with me. But, it seems like I'm the one who is having a problem with it. the problem is neither my languange nor my grammar (at least not too problematic). The real problem is my spoken English. I rarely open my mouth in class. I keep on telling myself that my future is no longer of being a psychiatrist, because now, I want to be a lawyer! so, I need to speak up! In fact, I'm a debater. Even though in bahasa, but still, I need to talk a lot. I do feel ashamed when Puan Sitha personally say to me that she wants to see me to speak. I always wanted to. But when the time comes, I have no idea what to speak about. Nevertheless, I made a promise to myself...I will change...and when that happens, my friends and maybe Puan Sitha also will be mesmerized..

The grass maybe greener on the other side

Dear people,I've been doing a lot of thinking about what to write,how to make my writing interesting and brainstorming alone while my roommate is sleeping so soundly in her pink blanket.I'm so tired right now but i cant persuade my body to relax.I feel hyper.I blame the sugar.Now on,i wont eat so many 'fruit plus'!Enough nonsense,i want to share something with all of u!Honestly,i hate changes.So,when i know i will be studying in UKM,i have mixed feelings about it.
Of course i'm happy to be accepted in a law school but im not quite please when i think about the changes i have to go through.Making new friends,new college and the whole new environment.If some of you dont know,im actually from asasi UITM,when i first entered UITM,i miss my secondary school but as time pass by i started to love being in UITM,in fact,i still love UITM!
Its been a month since im in UKM and i'm still confuse about so many things here like,what time to wait for the bus,figuring out how to get to PUSANIKA without being lost in somewhere unknown and how to search for books in PTSL using GEMILANG and cases in LEXIS NEXIS(its harder than it looks like!seriously.)but fear not,i survive here.I guess its a changing process.
As for the lectures and classes,i can say that im begining to like it although i find it very confusing at first.For example,in lectures the learning will be taught in Bahasa Melayu but in tutor,English language is use.I guess its the way UKM uphold our Bahasa Kebangsaan,i respect it.Furthermore,now i have a lot of friend from different culture and race.I have learn so many interesting things from them like the different ethnic in sabah and sarawak and also their beliefs.People there are awesomely exotic!(is that even a word??)
I've learned two things when i came here,one-appreciate what you have while you have it because u will regret it later if you took it for granted.In my case,i use to think that UITM is the last choice for me to do my degree but after i finish my foundation UITM is my first choice!How ironic is that?
two-everything will be much easier if u handle it with a positive mind.Right now,im trying to make the best of what life has put me through.If I can love and live in UITM happily,im going to do the same in UKM!perhaps better.Maybe the grass is greener on the other side.Oh,I cant wait to find out!:)

MY FIRST VIEW ON UKM

Hi...firstly I really appreciate to my lecturer Puan Sitha because through our EFL lesson,I able to point out my view on certain issues in many way.Therefore,I will not bottle up myself anymore on the way to acchieve my life goal.In the class,I able to learn on how to think rationally in order to develop my analysing skill.

Honestly,life in university is totally different with what i have go along before this whereas only concerned with 'chasing exam paper'.UKM is an 'ideal studying place' for me to persue my course.Many people have asked me personally why do not make a 'wiser'decision by chosing UM as my next station to continue my life journey.The only answer from me is 'I alrealy choose the best'.Hahaha...However,in many people's view,UKM is a 'second class university'which is not good enough to match their 'beautiful score'stated in examination slip.Generally,UKM is no longer overwhelming by other local universities.For me,all local university have the same status in producing exellent 'products'in different kind of fields.There should be no more 'inner discremination' from any party.

As we know,UKM is not accredited as Universiti Apex but this supreme learning institution still have a stable reputation among us.The only different is just the 'honour clause'.Furthermore,in the way i get in deep to my main legal subjects, i feel pround on myself because i have be taught in two languages..HEY..We are good in two worlds.We are more advance if compare to others.I really really enjoy myself in this university.It's fantastic..I belief that there still have space for me to explore in this place in order to become more mutual.Mutuality and resourseful are the essential characteristics that need to be picked up if we want ourself to be endurance with all the obstacles in our future.Meanwhile,the most important thing is we must alert and always keep ourself abreast with the current issues or latest development in any aspect.

Finally,I hope my fellow classmate Bakri will able to get a taste to the new environment here in the way to make his own ambition become reality.(Althoght he has took my title 'GOOD DEBATER' from the past 'CANSELARI DEBATE COMPETITION')..Hehehe..Anyway,I hope i will be able to learn different kinds of reading skills from EFL lesson too and apply practically in my other compulsory legal subjects..Using the fastest way to comprehend my heavy main legal subjects and score well as my parent wish evernight or even everyminute..

A new beginning

After finishing our final exam , we , the 5th batch of the law foundation (MOHE) , UiTM Shah Alam , have officially finished our foundation studies. Thus,we are now "sold" to all law schools in Malaysia,where our final exam's grade an MUET score will play a vital role in determining which law school should us further our bachelor's studies. In a lucky twist of fate,I,and some of my other compatriots are selected to go to the National University of Malaysia(UKM). At the faithfull date of 28th June 2009, we came to this prestigious institution with high hopes of gaining even more success. Some of us,on the other hand,were looking for redemption for our past flaws either during their schooldays or matriculation/foundation programme. Personally, I am really glad to enter this university due to it being the only higher education centre that was built due to the intense need of the citizens who are eager to gain knowledge. Ungku Omar,Pendeta Za'aba,Rahim Kajai,Ibrahim Yaakub and others are some of the prominet nationalist who sacrificed everything in order to establish a university which puts the Malay language as their main cup of tea in learning. As a result, their sacred deed is forever reminded in the names of all colleges in the campus compound. lIfes here has been quite well. The lecturers have been tremendously kind and helpfull to us. It may been not quite a month since all of us,the first year students enter this place,but I think that through this short period of time,I can reflect some new experience that I sure I will never encounter by being in another institution. For example, if I ought to stay in UiTM,I might never be studying in a multi-racial condition as it is here. Well,a lot of boundaries are waiting ahead of us. We just hope that courage and self-confidence will guide us through it

Reflection on the issue of 'teacher raped student'

Hi everyone...hope that all of you have a very blissful day especially after read my reflection..hehe..Firstly before i start with my reflection i want to express how glad im being here as one of the students of this varsity, ukm. Actually, im never put a dream of being a lawyer but by the support from form 6 teacher, Mr Morgan im dare to take the challenge although i know it is a 'tough' course to take especially for someone beginner like me who are for the first time knowing what is the real meaning of 'law' and im not the kind that like to follow the rules..hehe.. So right now im here to carry on the dream of my parent and teacher.

Lately, we heard people talking about the issue of sex abise especially among the student who are been raped by their own teacher someone who should be the guardian to the children turn to be a terrorist. Actually i've been looking at the problem seriously since the first time i read about the case of sex abuse. I hope that someday i'll have a chance to defend and help the victim of sex abuse. Emm..maybe by taking this course i will be able to be closer to the victim.

Now the problem seem to become serious when someone who look so prefect in our eye give us knowlegde teash us to become man doing something that unforgivable. The victim are not only among the female but also to the male student. The main question in here is how could this person who we call 'teacher' willing to do such crime although they already know the consiquences and the punishment that they will get. The acute consequences of sexual abuse for both male and female victims include physical injury, psychological trauma and much more. As we know there are many programs that have been done to rise the public attention on this problem but it is seem like not enough to make people awake of how serious it is especially among the people in inland. So i hope by raising this issue we can together start our step to protect our next generation or i mean children from being sex abuse....UNITED WE STAND..

HI EVERYBODY!!!

My dear students,

Hmmm.... thought i will the FIRST one to start offf our class blog, but Farid has beaten me to it. It's ok, that's the spirit.:)

Just thought that I'll give some points on reflecting, share my ideas, or should I say, wisdom....

As I mentioned in class, a relective e-journal is basically to record the progress of your learning. It is NOT a summary of the course material. Focus more on your reactions to what you've read or learnt, either in the EFL class or in your content classes/lectures or even PBL (when it begins). It is a personal record of your learning experiences. It is a space where you can record and reflect upon your observations and responses to situations, which can be used later to explore and analyse ways of thinking.

What can you include in your reflections??

a. points you found especially interesing in your reading, and would like to follow up in more detail
b. questions that came up in your mind, because of points made in material you read on this topic or some points your lecturer brought up
c. your reflections on this course(EFL) and how well it is meeting your needs.
d. how your learning in this course is related to what you're learning in other ways
e. thoughts that arent fully formed yet, but that you want to refine later. This could include your feelings about this course and your progress in iT.

Each time you submit your entries, think back over everything you've done since the last time.

MARKING

You won't lose marks for poor spelling or language(unless your spelling is at elementary level and your language is so poor that I can't make any sense of what you're trying to say).

You will get good marks by showing that you've been reading widely, and raising issues that flow from that reading, and by making it clear that you have been thinking a lot about these issues.

OK, that's all from me. Happy reflecting and blogging!! :)

Regards, Pn Sitha

"Did political party still relevance?"

Hello everybody, this is my first entry and I am really interested with current political situation in our country. First and foremost I want to tell u all that I’m not a supporter of any political party because for me the politic people are all same.

The issue that I would like to talk about is “Chaos in Perak” that has been a hot issue in our country lately. For your information, I’m from Perak, so that’s why I feel that this issue is the most interesting issue for me to reflect on. What has happened at Perak is totally a political game. Everybody try to do anything in order to gain power for themselves. For example, there is one representative from Barisan National who “jump” party twice in only one week. How ridiculous is that?? and for me, this person should not be a leader but a ladder. From his action everybody will know who is he actually and I don’t know why there are still people who vote for this type of person. What happened at Perak also shows to me that the politic people actually dont really care about us as a citizen in this country. They should make a decision according to what Perak peoples said and who they want as their leader, not only depends on decision of a one person. That totally unfair. Being a leader is mean you are carrying heavy burden on your shoulder, so there should be a right person who are able to carry it without drop it. Leader is the representative for other people, so the powers actually vest on them.

Looking at our unstable political situation today make me feel really sad and fear. I think many political parties only break our community apart other than make us unite as one. Sometimes their objective is fine but the way they implement it is poor. If political parties before is fight for the freedom of our country, so what are they fight for today?? Are the political parties is still relevance nowadays?? Why we cannot live as one community and as a one country without all of this political view and parties??
