3rd STRIKE!!
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..
(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
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
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??
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.....
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
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

My Break
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)
*Legum Baccalaureus(LLB)- Bachelor of Law Degree.
1st love-TESL prog.
I apologize for the rantings. The crazy hours of preparing for PBL, presentations, and the upcoming finals that caused me to write this semi break-up letter . 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.

Nothing is FREE
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?
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.

Reflecting on Last-Minute behavor.
For the past 10 weeks, my life here seems to be quite intriguing. I'm in a constant struggling mode here due to my lazy/hardworking attitude. I must say back in high school, last minute study can always guarantee success because there were tips given by the teachers or the subjects that I had was not that hard to comprehend given the time of 1 and 1/2 years to study the same subject. However, in here, studying must be a consistent process. Why? we need to master a subject in 3 months and not only one subject but 3-5 subject in a very short period of time.
I believe that most of us are very last-minute oriented but I must say we need to change right now or we will eventually fall behind in just a blink of eye. The principle of last minute can't really doesn't help us here. Why?
a. There are too many assignments.
b. The subject that we learn will be applied in the future.
c. We will be insane after the exam. I truly believe last-minute students will not have enough time.Not to forget time to sleep and to eat.
d. The TIPS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO BEGIN WITH !
I think this really reflected me on my attitude. I must say I'm in a changing process right now. Although there were times that I'm very lazy till the only thing I wanted to do was to sleep but I believe that changing my attitude will eventually lead me to a better person. I don't want my 4 years in UKM staying up the whole night in preparing for exams or doing my assignments.I hoped for a relaxing university life. Thus, I must start to change.
~ Better late then never~

THE END...
Back to our tutorial, I think it try to give us more exploration about what are we will be to face in the future. Although it is have some difficulties to do that, I have to face it. This tutorial give me more information about what is law, how to use law in our live and most importantly is to give me preparation to my final exam on October. But, for this semester I’m so speechless. I don’t know why all of this happened to me. Maybe because I have no confidence to speak in English. Besides, I not prepare well for the tutorial makes me bit worried about that.
Today is also our last lecture. We have revision with lecturer for next week. So, next week we just make revision for all that we have learned since week 2 because we still not in lecture in our first week. This is the time for us to asking our lecturer anything we do not understand. This is the best time for us to know how to answer question in our final exam and know about the question although it is not too specific for us. And after holiday we will start for our presentation and PBL. So, for right now we are busy to do our preparation for that. We have to struggle to find our problem, cases and a lot of thing. Our PBL will going in mooting so, I have to prepare because this is my first experience to do mooting. I’m little bit worry for that.
Finally, I’m just wanted to say all the best for us in PBL and ‘SELAMAT HARI RAYA’ for all Muslims. And for non-Muslims, you are allowed to join and enjoy for our celebration. TQ... J

..if you ask about my reflection,i give you my reflection..
i was given supposedly easy task which is to post a blog
the problem is not that "post a blog" thing
but the task which is my reflection toward the course, is the real problem
hehe
generally,i think that law is very hard course
it look easy but don't judge a book by it's cover
when you decide to accept the offer letter for course law
it means that you decide to read law
because reading law means that it must be continuous
as from reading we gain knowledges and languages
and knowledges and languages is the assets of a lawyer
because reading law means that you must sacrifice much of your time reading
some people will say "why those law students were very proud of themselves"
some people will say "why it's getting hard to see you lately"
furthermore,the location of law faculty in UKM were very quite remote from other faculty
and to arrive there,seems like you had arrived in Brinchang,Cameron Highlands
but for me.....
i am happy with the offer to continue my law degree at UKM
although my first choice was at Shah Alam , UiTM....hehe
and it was really different with the previous programme that i take which is PI007 Law
Foundation KPTM 2008/2009
not to say it was getting harder
but to say it seems very weird to study law in Malay due that in UiTM,the language was English
here,i learn and experience a lot of new things like moot,debate,blog..
and I LOVE IT
it is because it is good for me and all of the students
in addition , to answer the previous questions....
we are not proud of ourselves and we are not that kind of people that do no want to mingle with
society
but we have responsibility that we need to fulfill and to achieve that we have to sacrifice
something but we will get the benefit later
in easy words,if you are law students,proove it and don't just brag about it
