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
