Minggu 14

Sekelip matanya, sesi pembelajaran semester 2 telah sampai ke hujung. Sebelum minggu 14, minggu 12 dan minggu 13 merupakan tempoh yang sangat sibuk bagi mahasiswa dan mahasiswi. Banyak presentation dan assignment diarahkan supaya hantar pada minggu 13. Dalam tempoh minggu 13 ini, setiap hari benda yang saya hadapi banyak ialah Microsoft Word dan Powerpoint. Akibatkan kena menyiapkan tugasan dalam tempoh masa yang ditetapkan, saya terpaksa mengorbankan masa tidur saya supaya dapat menyempurnakan kerja saya.

Felxible working

Originally a stigma where employees are expected to “show face” at the workplace, flexible working has gained increased acceptance across Asia over the years. Many companies today are asking themselves the same question. Is our business ready to handle the expectations and technical requirements of a modern workforce that demands ever greater flexibility in where and how it works? Today, to attract and retain the best talent, firms know they must be attract and retain the best talent, firms know they must be seen to offer competitive working arrangements that respect employees’ personel time, and also their working habits especially the freedom to choose their own technology. 

Self-esteem

Positive thinking is important to develop a healthy self-esteem. If we have a positive outlook, we will probably like and accept ourselves the way we are. A positive and optimistic attitude can help people to develop strong self-esteem. This healthy attitude allows us to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing good friendships, growing more independent of our parents, and challenging ourselves physically and mentally.

Besides that, a positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle like exercising and eating right is a great combination for building good self-esteem. Family life can sometimes influence a person’s self –esteem. Some parents spend more time criticizing their children and the way they look than praising them. This criticism may reduce a person’s ability to develop good self-esteem.

Music

Music is the most wonderful thing in the world. Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. 

I love music. Music is an important part of my way of life.I derived a lot of pleasure when I listen to music. Music really bring me a lot of emotion such as happiness, sadness and it become the source of supporting me when I face difficulties in my life.

In this modern era, people more prone to listen to pop songs like k-pop, American pop and Britain-pop. I am different from the mainstream. I like to listen to classical song as it brings me a lot of spirit. It was so much different to the mainstream music. Classical music is more meaningful compare to the pop song.

Cost

In this modern era, there is an obvious sign show that the advanced of technology is happened in this world. However, the rapidly changes of world has cause the living cost has been increase day by day.

Health cover is an essential part of your financial defences. It assures you that your medical costs will be paid if you meet with an accident or illness. According to The World Health Organisation, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, along with lung, breast, kidney and colorectal cancer, are on rise in Malaysia. Their treatment is often expensive. The rate of inflation in medical care cost stands at around 15% a year and without a health plan, a stint in hospital could severely deplete your savings.

By buying a medical plan it can help us to solve the problem of budget constraint when we come to the aspect of medical cost.

Approach to study

Oh…Mei is coming…It means that a lot of assignment and exams is approaching to us again~~~In university, it is a totally different life in secondary school. In this fast pace university life, in order to adapt well in this environment and score well in the examination, it needs some approach to study effectively and successfully.

Time management and a proactive approach are now essential. A students should expect to spend five hours a day in lectures and then allocate two to three hours for study on his own. A student must transform his existing approach to learning and think at a higher level. He will be required to thoroughly review and assimilate the information presented in lectures,seminars, texts and lab work.

In conclusion, a study plan is a critical tool for success as it can help a student discipline his time and be serious about his studies. So let us make use of the study plan!!!!

Universiti

Selepas menamatkan pelajaran di peringkat sekolah menengah, ramai antara pelajar telah melanjutkan pelajarannya ke peringkat yang lebih tinggi iaitu peringkat universiti. Pelajar yang keluarganya mempunyai berkemampuan telah dihantar ke universiti atau kolej swasta. Malah yang lain telah melanjutkan pelajarannya ke institut politeknik dan universiti awam.

Adakah sijil daripada universiti adalah begitu berharga dan penting kepada seseorang? Bagi saya, sijil universiti memang menyediakan satu platform bagi kita mendapatkan pekerjaan yang lebih baik, namun personaliti dan soft skill juga sangat penting kepada kita. Universitilah merupakan tempat yang bukan sahaja mendidik graduan yang cemerlang dari segi akademik malah dalam segi sahsiah dan juga melatih soft skill mahasiswa dan mahasiswi. Jadi, dalam masa belajar di peringkat universiti janganlah hanya menumpukan dalam pelajaran sahaja namun dalam bidang kokurikulum juga.

Masa

Masa merupakan barang yang sangat terharga dalam dunia. Tak kira kamu mempunyai berapa banyak harta kekayaan, masa yang telah terlepas tidak dapat dibeli semula. Sekelip matanya, saya telah melalui 21 tahun dalam dunia ini. Sejak kelahiran di dunia ini, saya telah dididik dengan baik serta dijaga dengan rapi oleh ibu bapa saya. Masa telah berlalu dengan cepat, sekarang saya telah berumur 21 tahun dan telah melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat universiti. Dalam masa saya 21 tahun ini, saya telah mengalami pertumbuhan dari segi mental dengan sangat cepat berbanding dengan masa yang lalunya. Tanpa penjagaan ibu bapa dalam masa menuntut pelajaran di UKM, saya terpaksa belajar untuk berdikari dan bagaimana bergaul dengan orang lain. Di luar rumah, semua perkara adalah diselesaikan oleh sendiri. Bantuan dari orang lain adalah sangat susah dapat. Masa yang melalui dengan cepat ini telah mendidik saya dari seorang budak naif menjadi seorang pemuda yang berdikari. Hargailah masa yang berharga itu!!!

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation

Students motivation centres around students’ desire to participate in the learning process. But is also concerns the reasons or goals that underlie their involvement or non-involvement in academic activities. Although students may be equally motivated to perform a task,the sources of their motivation may differ. A student who is intrinsically motivated undertakes an activity for its own sake,for the enjoyment accomplishment it evokes. Student with an intrinsic orientation also tend to prefer tasks that are moderately challenging. On the other hand, an extrinsically motivated student performs “in order to obtain some reward or avoid some punishment external to the activity itself”. In conclusion, we should always motivate ourselves intrinsically. It will make us more enjoy and motivated in the progress of learning and accomplishing a task.

group study

As many teachers said, studying in a group of three or four students is an effective way of studying. Many students who study in a group have succeeded in their examinations.

It would be easier to understand things when we study in a group. During group study, we can have discussion and idea sharing among each members. This exchange process enables us to understand topics better.

There is also greater competition when we study in a group. No one in a group wants to fare badly or to be thought of as not having understood the discussions. To avoid this, every member of the group strives to achieve better results.

Study in a group will bring a lot of benefits, but we have to ensure there is no chatting and discussing something that is not related to the study topic. Indeed, group study will help us to a lot in the succession of the examination.

krisis air!!!!

Air merupakan sesuatu yang paling penting kepada manusia untuk meneruskan hidup dalam dunia. Tanpa bekalan air, rutin harian manusia akan dijejaskan.

Krisis air telah berlaku di kolej saya sejak minggu yang lepas. Hidup tanpa bekalan air adalah sangat susah dan pahit. Pakain yang kotor semakin banyak sehingga boleh menjadi sebuah bukit. Pinggan dan mangkuk tidak boleh dicuci.Tambahan pula, nak pergi ke tandas juga tidak "convenient"....

Rutin harian saya tidak dijalankan secara lancar dan telah banyak dijejaskan. Saya terpaksa lari antara blok dengan pejabat pentadbiran setiap hari untuk mendapatkan air.... Hidup sepanjang ini telah banyak menyusahkan dan meletihkan saya.

Bekalan air telah mula memulih sejak semalam tetapi malangnya bekalan tersebut mempunyai "time slot". Semua penghuni telah berada dalam keadaan "standby".  Apabila bunyi air terdengar, kami pun  memulakan mission tadahan air kami. Antaranya yang mencuci pakaiannya yang kotor, adanya yang mencuci pinggan cawannya,dan ada yang cepat-cepat mengambil tualanya untuk mandi...

Berharap agar bekalan air dapat dipulihkan secepat mungkin supaya rutin harian penghuni dapat dijalankan dengan sempurna. Pengalaman krisis air ini telah membangkitkan kesedaran menghargai air dalam kalangan penghuni kolej. Jadi hargailah setiap titisan air!!!!

Love from dad~~

I was born in an ordinary family. I have 4 siblings and I was the eldest among them..

My dad is a mechanic worker and my mum is a housewife. There is a few communication among my dad and I. He always busy in his working and me is busying in my studies. It makes us even didn't meet up for several days. Despite this, my dad is a very gentle and quiet man. Unfortunately, I was inherited his personalities. There is a barrier of communication between of us and make our relationship getting worse. My younger brother is the only one who can communicate with him. I even have hated my dad because of his different treatment between my brother and I.

After entering UKM, it was a bitter time for me to adapt the strange environment. But my dad was sent several warm messages to me. Those messages make me feel so warm and I finally know that my dad love me too and always concern about me...maybe this concern is difficult for him to speak it out directly to me. Thanks God for giving me this lovely dad....I really feel so grateful of having my dad in my life...

Friendship!!

As with any relationship, friendships bring a lot of support and joy and occasionally strife.  Fear is started taking over when I enter school.This is the first time I leave my home and my family and travel for almost 4 hours in order to continue my study in the university. Everything is so strange and the strange environment and people make my anxiety and fear getting more and more. Luckily,I have this bunch of friend to accompany me to overcome and face all the anxiety and confusion in the studies.Thx guys for helping me throughout the uni life. May our friendship last forever!!!
