The 14th blog writing

The 14th blog writing

I’m happy and proud because I finished all of the tasks given by my English lecturer Mr.Williams. One of the tasks given is blog writing, at first, I hate to do this, I admit that. I’m not a good writer and poor English grammars is my main enemy that lead me to have less confidence in writhing a blog with English . As order from lecturer, I should write a blog for each week and every writings should over 10 sentences and that is minimum requirement. However, I failed to do so and always late to do so… but, now I’m finishing my last writing.

At first, blog writing is very new for me, and actually I don’t know what function can be obtained from a blog? But now, I get familiar with blog, it is simple and benefic to me.

I’m practicing my English terms by writing the blog and this is opportunity for me to learned and copy others ideas from the blog. this definitely can improve my English essay writing ability, and very useful and essential for me after I graduate.

Writing blog become part of my life, and turned become as my habit now, I will write more writings in the blog later on and continuous practice my English from it…

Trip to Cameron high land

Trip to Cameron high land

Actually, I have never step to the Cameron high land before, this is very fresh, and new for me. The trip followed by one of our faculty new come lecturer and prof. Anwar who is the trip leader also. We spent about 7 hours get to the destination and definitely this is far and long journey from our university. The main purposes of this trip are visit the tea farm and MARDI.

At first, when we reached the destination, I can not adapt to the cold weather there, at the same moment, raining also make the condition even bad for me. Actually, there is several students just similar to me, they almost get flu due to the cold weather. Two of them also fell sick and sent to the nearby hospital immediately.

After lunch, we jump up to bus and driven to the MARDI. At there, we attended to a talk which delivered by one of the staff from the MARDI. After that, we started to visit the field at there, the field divided into many parts, and actually is a multi plantation farm which cultivate lots of vegetable, fruits, and flowers. The plantation that raised my interest most is strawberry plantation, the red and fresh strawberries attracted me to pluck them, but I din do so, because this is not allowed.

After this, there is free time for us and until the next day…

Long long journey to hometown

Long long journey to hometown

After I entered the university, the time for me to stay with my family become less and less. I lived in colleague of university, it definitely far from my hometown. Actually my hometown located at Johor and the journey between Johor and Kelantan took about 12hours. I always went back by bus, which can direct send me to the nearest bus station to my home. The alternative is go back by train, I took train twice before, but it is a bad experience. The train stops at the train station which had a distance about 2 hours to my home, and very time wasting, therefore by bus is my first choice to going back.

Actually, I dislike both of the ways; 12 hours track make me tiring whole of the night. If I lucky I will fell sleep, and reach destination very fast. If I unable to fall sleep, whole of the nigh I will be hard. Gastric problem is one of the things that always happened during the track, and make me irritate. The second things will be happened is lonely…without a doubt, the seat beside me always is a stranger; and my only friends are mp4 and my hand phone…

The journey will be repeat and repeat for three years more, I hope that, there is another way for me could let me go back to my hometown more comfortable and faster. Except go back by air plane due to the high transport fee…

A group work presentation

A group work presentation

Few days ago, there is a presentation section that involved by all of the second years’ FASA students, and I’m one of the presenters. Without a doubt, nothing than nervous can described my felling during that moment.

My group’s members are Kit, Mizie, Ng and me, all of the members completed their works before deadline, and that is one day before the presentation date. My part consisted preparation of a slide show, of course I finished my job after I received the information from the others’ member. I’m happy because all of the members are responsible for their tasks and performed their highest priority towards the presentation.

One night before the presentation date, we gathered once again to make our presentation more complete, and edited the slide show more completely. As order from our lecturer, only provides 15minutes for the presentation for each group, and mark will be deduct for those over time. For this reason, we have to practice and practice to make perfect.

I’m happy for this presentation, not only for the performance but also the cooperative contributed from all of members.

restaurants here

Restaurants here

There are few restaurants can be found around the university area. The nearby restaurants provided me a lot of choices for my lunch or dinner; however, the price is also reasonable. Even here is small, but different types of foods can found here such as Chinese foods, Japanese foods, Malay Foods, Thai foods, India foods, fast foods and so on. Recently, Pasar Ramadan also selling quiets a number of Malay foods, the traditional Kuih Melayu was popular there and Nasi Kelabu is my favorite.

Actually, I preferred go to Chinese restaurant which is nearest to my college, took about 3 minutes I can get there from my room. The Chinese foods selling there some are originated from ‘Hakka’ one of the provinces of China. The foods are very suitable for me, although I’m not a Hakkanish. There is not any menu can found in that restaurant, all of the menu is in the head, if you really want to eat something, just tell the chef, he will cook for you.

Tepan Yaki is my second favorite restaurant, the owner is a Japanese, as the information from his workers, I noticed that, he is also a programmer, and lived in Malaysia over 15 years, but he seem like hard to communicate in Bahasa Melayu and English. The food selling there are Japanese foods, Thai foods, and Malay foods. The chef is come from Thailand, and can cook tasty Thailand foods. I preferred the tomyam soup there; however, one of my friends almost addicted to the tomyam and can eat it everyday without bored.

I hope that, more restaurant can be open here, and let me to have more choices for fulfill my stomach.

Hometown

Hometown

Last few days, I reached my hometown from a very far estate that is Kelantan, it took about 11hours to reach Batu Pahat which is my hometown.; actually I lost many things here after I went t study at university…

After I went to study, time spend accompany with my family become less, even I went back here I also spent more time in front computer due to heavy assignments I need to finish. Besides that, I missed up lots of special events such as birthday celebrations, wedding ceremonies, and parties. Actually, I like to attend this kind of events which can pull the relationship closer with the other people. Moreover, my hometown is an only place for me to sleep well in the night, I appreciated the time that I spent at my hometown, because I realized that, not much time I can stay durin this very relaxing moment.

After few days, I will go back to Kelantan, the holiday will be very short, and hopefully, this moment can be meaningful even short…

Lost temper

Lost Temper

Currently, there are lots of things that make the fire burning on my head. Suddenly, I tend to lost temper easily. This is one of my weak point that I could not get over, and I totally hate about this characteristic. Beside that, it is hard to control myself when I lost temper, surely, I failed to recover from that moment also, basically, I had to take half of the day to turn back to my normal state. I afraid that one of the days I make some wild behaviors in front people when I lost temper. But, I would not harm people, because I’m not HULK even I really turn into green!!! This characteristic maybe heritage from my dad, which is also a great ‘burner’and he will burn everyone anytime and anywhere when he turned green. So, I can say that, I worst, but not that worst than my farther.

The factors lead me to lost temper could be from many sources, included my study, my friends, my family, my gf and so on. All of these factors created a certain degree of pressure for me, while I can not hold it, it lead to explosion!!! Actually, I need a person who can care me, and willingly to help me in release my pressure, and control me while I lost temper…but till now, there is not such kind of person appeared in my life, it is very bad, the closest person beside me also didn’t shows lots cares to me. Maybe she has forgotten how to make a cares…

Now, I learned how to become more optimistic which contrast with my weak point. It help me to change my point of view when I met problems, and let me had a deepen thinking before I did something.

project life

Project life

Last week, my current English teacher, Mr. Williams,ask us to list down our project life. At initial. I does not fully understand what i '' project life'' after explained by Mr.Williams, i realized that project life is plans of life which included the plan had achieved in the past, plans that doing now, and plans that will be do later. Actually, this is a good brain storming for me, and help me to has clearer direction for my project life.

Is easy for me to list down the plan that i had achieved in past and plans that i doing now, but i met difficult in list down the plans that i will do later. Actually i don't think that far, and without a doubt, I'm direct less people, and i never consider a plans that will be realize one day. I always trust myself that, the life is controlled by ownself, to have bright future, definitely a proper plans leading to success should be done from right angles. If i conclude my future plan now, it is too early for me, and maybe it would not come to reality.

There are people said, who had their own aims, he would success one day. I partially believed on that, actually to get success later. The present planing must be do well in first. There is no short cut for us to get success without a proper planing or affords, therefore even you have a good future aims, if absent proper planing and affords the aim will become nothing also.

Planing is a track to reach the aims, moreover, kinds of aims should be meet with right planing which is dependable to the aims is make.

Busy semester

Busy semester

Without a doubt, this semester is busier than the previous semester. I noticed that, time already near to the final exam, and after the exam, there is a long semester break… Time is gone too fast, and third semester will be end soon.

During this semester I spent lots of time in doing assignments, the assignments given by the lecturers just like a mountain, I hard to say it is easy for me, in other word, its quite heavy to me. Deadline is near, if failed to pass up the assignments before that, the reduction marks will treated on me. I felt that, it is unfair, because assignments need time to finish, if lots of assignments come in once, time spend in finishing assignments should be equally separate to each, therefore take a longer time to finish an assignment. This is what I suffered now, why deadline always short? And Can it extended, but without reduction marks?

Now is near to the Raya break, however, I’m not going to rest during that break due to the heavy study. Moreover, I would spend more time to finish my projects. I think most of my classmates will be same as me…

Business

Business

Currently, I started a small business with my roommates who are Kenny, and Hong. At initial, we came out with some unrealized ideas such as laundry services, sell foods, delivery services and so on. Those ideas were limited by some obstacles, we failed to solve that. Therefore, make us continued to think other alternatives to earn money. Finally, we found a new appropriated idea that is focus on the laptop accessories selling. The market is still fresh and fewer competitors, therefore, we decided to carry out the business by selling the ‘laptop skin’ and ‘keypad skin’ just as our first products.

Actually, there is a bad starting for our business, the high cost of the products make us afraid to step forward, if we fail to hit the sales target, it would bring a great lost to us. However, we succeed to solve the problem by find out supplier who can give us a cheaper price in buying the products. In the other hand, the complained from the students who agued the price is expensive forced us to lower the prices as well. Actually, we had undergone a survey on the pricing on out side area competitors, we found that, our products pricing definitely more reasonable from them and product quality is different also. Whatever, we still discount for them just giving a ‘student price for them’. Besides that, we learn on how to satisfy our customers, even though we were laughed or scold by the customer, but we still thinking ‘customers always right’ in our heads. Actually, is quite ashamed when customers pretend to us. We try to identify the demands from the customers by enlarge our products’ kind and that is a means for us to satisfy them.

We are not like big business man but, we learned the same characteristics as them. We maybe could not earn any profit in the business but, actually it is golden opportunity for us to learn a shallow experience in managing a business. Till now, we still continued our business and learn from mistake along. We sharing the ideas, agued each other and this become a pulling force for us to ensure our business can carry on…

The Golded Semester Break Spoiled

The Golden Semester Break Spoiled

REST is an important element to ensure that journey can go longer, a man never can work without break, and he should take some rest to recover his energy. If not, he definitely dies in exhausted. The same story applies in study, a student had their time on relax and study. However, both of the time slots should put into right situation and balanced. Try to imaging that, if a student who studied whole of the day, he would not digest lots of things learned in the books or lectures. By contrast, if a student who spent his time wisely between rest and study, he would learn more because there is enough time to him for digesting all of knowledge. The semester break is just created for this purpose.

That is great!! Because there are two breaks during this semester, it’s important for students to refresh themselves and go back to hometown as well. Other than this, Semester break also gives benefits for those students who suffered in stressed and pressured. Unfortunately, one of the semester breaks been spoiled!!! Who do that? Actually I need to know. And this is what I want to mention here.

Is hard for me to believed that, our class COMPULSORY to attend a three days trip on the date 16th of this month, it shocked me, I planed to go back on 14th but now, I forced to replace that by attend trip. Why all of these activities had always crashed my plan? Why don do it before break or after break?? I hate it really. I hard to make any decision, I confused whether I have to go or not because I wouldn’t know any effect or punishment against me, if I absent. My golden semester break is gone…

Actually, I realized that, it would bring lots of benefits for me on that trip and I think about it in matured way… finally, I decided to go there and sacrifice my golden semester break by forced. However, I still hope that, it would not happen again on the next semester break. As what I said, rest is a preparation to go longer journey… so, without rest, without work...that is me.

Pressure increasing...

Pressure increasing…



My faculty can be as “Pressure provider”, as the result, the students under this faculty definitely felt pressured, and I’m the one also…Sometime I really envy other faculties student, and always ask myself , why they can so relaxing in their study? Actually that is not a reasonable answer for it. I also felt unfair, and in fact, I jealous them much!!!

As my roommates said, different courses have different works to do and from this bring different contribution of ‘pressure’ to each. I believed in it, because I realized that, do more will learn more, so, to get more knowledge, the only way is just study and study and there is not short cut for this. The hard study make the pressure higher than my head, therefore, many things can load into my head, actually, my head is not make from metal or something hard materials, it would cracked in one time, if pressure keep going get into to my little head.

Sometime, I try to release my pressure, and there are many ways I used on it. Surely all of these are healthy ways. One of the best ways for me is listening to the music or songs, it let me released tension and turn off my head for a while, but it really just for a while!!! The second way is watching the drama series; I liked to watch love comedy drama much, and it attracted me, and I will forget all of the assignment I haven done yet. But after watching drama, I have to chase back my time to finish those assignments.


When the pressure released, I will felt that, I’m like a balloon which released their air and fly off to the sky. The feeling is quite great and freedom. But when the balloon drop back to the earth, the air should pump back into balloon again… my life just like a balloon…that’s all…

Budget, budget and budget.
Last few days ago, there was a nightmare for me and aware me something will be happen at the next…I was dreamed my account amount turned to Rm0.00 when I went to the ATM, and this nightmare give me a shock , I woke up in the midnight and hardly to fall sleep again…

At the next day morning, I recalled back that dream, I felt that it quite reality and true for me, my dream told me the facts what I met. Without a doubt, my money is really run out during this semester, it was pity to me if my account really turns to Rm0.00.My Ptptn loan of this semester not enough to cover such big amount of expenses and too story on my saving account. I get the awareness from this nightmare, and suddenly my head appeared a sentences, budget, budget and budget!!!. From that time “budget” became my theme and the calculator never leave me far …
First thing I did is try to cut down my food expenses. I was succeeding in this; I cut down almost 50 % of my food expenses. How can I did it???, because I sacrificed my delicious lunch and substituted it by Maggie Mee. I realized that eating Maggie Mee is bad for the healthy due to the MSG, my friends also try to advised me don’t do this, but,by the way, I didn’t heard them, because this is best way to ‘save my account amount’.( sorry to my dearest friends and forgive my stubborn). Maybe I will regret it, when I fall in sick or drop off all my hair, but hopefully it will not come to reality…

Till now I still eating Maggie Mee as my lunch, actually it is a bit boring to eating this, but forced. What time I can stop eating this rubbish food? Who know? Who care? The only answer had to wait until my account rise up and hopefully there is no harm to me if I continue eating this...

photoshop 6

Photoshop 6
To fulfill the extra time after class, I try to learn something more interesting at that moment. Recently, I fall my love on a book named <>> which is established by the People Publication S/B. During the second semester break, I borrowed this book from my friend, which is an advertising designer, and he told me this book very useful and recommend me try to read that. At the beginning, I ran through the book and I found that there are a lot of thing that can be make on a piece of photo…the book included a lot of techniques about edition of the photo and creating the poster. However, it just a basic and simple. I was happy because I understood what of the writer talking about.

As a beginner, I found that this is very hard for me if without others help, however, my friend Kenny also my roommate which is genius on the computer programs, I get help from him, and he always kindly taught me what he know on the computer program. From this, I get closer and closer to the operation of the Photoshop 6.

Now, I can do anything I want on a piece of photo through my creativity, and I also did a lot of funny photos which very interested. Beside that, my first Photoshop pictures album now on the half way to finish, I think it must be a collective album for me.
