Pembinaan Negara Bangsa - Sudahkah Anda Bersedia?

2011-11-13T07:46:00.000-08:00

Saya kurang faham dengan mentaliti masyarakat Malaysia dalam membina negara bangsa. Walaupun slogan "Satu Malaysia" selalu dilaung-laungkan, ramai rakyat Malaysia masih melihat seseorang daripada jenis kaum atau puak atau agama yang dia dikategorikan dan menganuti, bukan melihat seseorang daripada personaliti. Sebagai contoh, jikalau seseorang itu bukan merupakan puak yang sama kita, kita selalunya memperkenalkan orang itu dengan "Cina itu", "Melayu itu", "India itu" dan sebagainya.

Perkara ini telah terjadi di sekeliling saya apabila saya menerangkan seorang sahabat saya, Siti kepada kaum yang sama dengan saya. Saya sengaja tidak memberitahu nama Siti dan menghuraikan kaum Siti. Dan dengan rasa kecewanya, pendengar menyangka Siti itu adalah kaum yang sama dengan kami. Selain itu, saya juga sering menghuraikan seseorang kepada rakan-rakan saya yang terdiri daripada kaum yang beza daripada saya, perkara pertama yang mereka tanya pastinya: "Chinese or Malay?" atau "Ini Melayu/Cina/India ke?"

Di samping itu, penulis melihat bahawa nama samaran yang dikenakan kepada setiap kaum kian berleluasa. Gadis Cina dipanggil "Ah Moi" dan gadis India dipanggil "Minachi". Juga, dalam kalangan Cina, mereka suka memanggil Melayu "Melayu itu". Saya masih ingat, apabila saya dipanggil "Ah Moi" untuk kali pertama saya di MRSM, saya menangis di dalam kelas. Pada masa itu, saya tidak sangka bahawa guru juga akan menilai seseorang dari kaum seseorang itu. Walaupun perkara ini mungkin biasa bagi sesetengah orang, tetapi ini telah menunjukkan masyarakat sekarang kian melihat luaran seseorang tersebut dengan kaum.

Persoalannya, adakah kita sudah sedia mengkikis tabiat ataupun sikap ini? Bilakah kita akan menilai seseorang itu dari personalitinya?

Carbon Foot Print

2011-08-17T23:35:00.000-07:00

Lets us know what is Carbon Foot Print:

A carbon footprint is "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person."^[1]Greenhouse gases can be emitted through transport, land clearance, and the production and consumption of food, fuels, manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings, and services.^[2] For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of the amount ofcarbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted.

- Wikipedia -

A carbon footprint is made up of the sum of two parts, the primary footprint (shown by the green slices of the pie chart) and the secondary footprint (shown as the yellow slices).

1. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels including domestic energy consumption and transportation (e.g. car and plane). We have direct control of these.

2. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use - those associated with their manufacture and eventual breakdown. To put it very simply – the more we buy the more emissions will be caused on our behalf.

http://www.carbonfootprint.com/carbonfootprint.html

And some action buy UTM:

UTM’s Carbon Footprint for Year 2009

According to the study, UTM has generated 3.2 tonnes of carbon Emission per capita electricity consumption, transport, waste disposal and others.

The findings has provided right direction to sustain UTM Campus where the production of carbon emissions should be the targeted at the largest activity.

Okay, enough for the sharing till today.

Why waste your time, health, energy and money for this?

2011-08-17T23:28:00.000-07:00

Because I care for the environment.

This is also one of the reason I become Student Representative Council.

I had spend lots of time facing the computer, in order to find some creative ways to promote sustainability

I had spend a lot of credit to contact the environment-related-corporate to have their booth in UTM, yet I get not even single cent from them

I had spend a lot of time thinking and arranging the sustainability, where not even my "team" member support me, when I post it in the group.

Well, I don't really care what I give. What I care is your support. I wonder how many student really thinks about sustainability, or how many students really know the meaning of sustainability. Your responds for the sustainability program can really show who you are.

Please become the committee member of "Share Your Green Idea" to show your action.

Sucks

2011-07-26T10:47:00.001-07:00

Sorry, I am also a blue person, and allow me to express my feeling here.

My deal with GOP agent is a long long time story, even before I know my MTM course going to hold in KTR. Since I became crew before, I think I could skip the "Peranan of crew..." and go for the meeting. I seriously dont understand why.

Why others can skip the whole day of the course, whereas I could not skip for just two hours?

Why speak so persuasive and kind to others, while treat me coldly?

Why not let me tell my situation finish first, before you just say one "NO".

I could have let the agent come from 1230pm till 200pm, but he is going KL tomorrow.

So sad now and so sad now.

And another things, what? He never know setting up a stall need permit. Yeah.

Sorry to say, but I don't like UTM right now, till my mood turns good again.

UTM= scold by people + no freedom + sleep late till hurt myself + authorities power

Blue Ocean Strategy

2011-07-09T00:44:00.000-07:00

Currently reading this book. It is kind of boring at the beginning, but when the authors introduce the comparison between red ocean and blue ocean, and many types of example where the company rise from the blue ocean, it become interesting. I started to feel amaze of the felt of entrepreneurship. Think of Air Asia, I think they used blue ocean strategy, by cutting off the unnecessary thing for some groups of consumer such as meals on flight and the luggage. They manage to cut the cost by reducing some things, thus create a new market in Malaysia and all around the world. "Everyone can fly" implies everyone can afford the flight ticket.

What I learnt from the reading (although still have half of the book yet to read), we must be creative when we provide service to customer. Think at the point of customer, what they want and what they don't want, so that the value of our product will be increase, thus attract lots of consumer.

And I found out that my passion for business strategy did not die, although I not manage to get Actuarial Science two years ago. So, I will spend some time to investigate the related one in this holiday. It feel so good! =)

Marketing Nowadays

2011-07-08T00:36:00.000-07:00

The worlds is filled with lots of advertisement now. Facebook used to be a medium for idea sharing, now become a stage for a lot of advertisement.

One extreme headache but irresistible webpage is says.my. Overloads of says.my page had been share in facebook, make people could not find really important information to view. Sometimes, people just ask you to click the link, regards of what information is it inside, because one click you will earn RM0.20! Some even reach until RM0.40! (and yeah, because it is a gold mill, I sometimes doing the same things).

Of course, creating a creative lines in Facebook will help you to earn more clicks. For example, my line for this link: http://says.my/kohwenying/celcom-instanet , usually other will use the default lines such as:

Just get the internet prepaid pack and then pay as you use?

Need Cheap & Easy Internet? Just TaPao with Instanet @ RM5.00

RM5 TaPao Instanet and use!

Instanet has Daily, Weekly and Monthly Internet Plans that are affordable

Instead of those default words, just adjust a bit:

" Promotion now, RM30 instead of RM50, internet for 30 days,1.5GB storage. No contract! "

you will get the unbelieveable clicks. The promotion is true, but they just did not write in the default lines. (and people like promotions) I found it out when I properly read the website (Sometimes you just need to do what people does not do to get more). I think most people just share without actually go to the website. I get 21 clicks after one day.

................................................................................................................................................

Another marketing plan the company like to do now is:

" Like us on Facebook, you could win yourself a xxxx car"

" Join the contest, you could win up to RMxxxxxx." and then you will need to go to "like", "register" and so on.

" Votes for me, xxxxxxx, Thank you very much." and then you will need to go to "like" the page, "register" your name, search for the "xxxxxxx" so that you could like them.

" Share your thought here, you might win xxxxxxxxxxx. " and the "like"->"register" process continue again.

" I need your votes to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx." you knew what will happen after this.

At last, you will found out that the pages you participate in will be like more than 100, but, do you win something?

You spend most of your time like the company, the company get publicity, but our chance of winning something is very tiny.

Think about it when you scroll around Facebook. The facebook is actually earning money by the time we spend to it.

By the ways, it is the human nature that will attract to the free stuffs, don't you? Actually, so do I. Just evaluate your time well. Think how much you can earn for 1 hour if you working and how much you can earn if you spend on Facebook. If helping the company sharing advertisement, you can earn more, why not go for it? =)

Max InvestSave CIMB

2011-07-07T23:47:00.000-07:00

This type of investment came across my mind when I went to CIMB bank with my sister for her CIMB youth account.

Just recap what I read from Lowyat.com yesterday, many people are positive about this type of investment. Generally, this investment requires you to keep money in the bank, every month PPI RM200. Only RM50 is needed to open a account, and of course, the CIMB bank got promotion now, put in RM5,000 as deposit you can receiver 30% as the bonus unit. And if put in RM10,000 also got the promotion. (I dont know how to explain because I am still learning about this). For CIMB youth account, put in RM1,000 and every month PPI RM200 you will receive an exclusive gift (but they never mention what is the gift).

Let's assume you:
Contribute lump sum of RM100,000 as initial contribution in the 1st month.
Contribute RM500 for every subsequent month until 5 years before maturity.
Hold all investment units until maturity.
Here’s what you could enjoy with Max InvestSave:

CIMB InvestSave Index is provided as a reference for the underlying transaction of the Max InvestSave PSSIA-i and the Bank shall not at any time be a party to any transaction related to the trading of CIMB InvestSave Index or CIMB Evergreen Index.
The dynamic investment strategy of the CIMB Evergreen Index is what allows the index (and investors) to gain potentially higher returns, even under different market conditions.

The good things here is:

1) It can be you saving account as well. Imagine you suddenly got so much money to use after 15, 20, 25 or 30 years, because you cant take the money out before it reaches maturity. It is like a gift to you after that many years. And it is good for person who cant bear to see their account had so much money and want to spend. This can help that kind of person to save. (like me)

2) The money will gain up to triple if there are bullish case. Even in the bearish case, you won't lost your money, you just get back what you invest.

The catches is:

1) What if every month you cant squeeze out RM200 to put in? It will be just a waste. Better put in bank account as you can get interest.

2) What if suddenly you need a huge amount of money, and you need to withdraw the money from the Max InverstSave account. From my understanding, in this type of investment, you need to buy some unit, and if you sell out the unit, it will according to the market price at that time. So, if you sell out the unit when the price per unit drop, you will lose your money. Furthermore, you break the maturity period, and you cant get the amount they promise to give you at the end of 15, 20, 25 or 30 years later.

3) What is CIMB invest in? What is the Ever Green Project? Do it guarantee a return?

Three story by Steve Jobs

2011-05-31T05:56:00.000-07:00

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

This is one of the most inspiring speech given by Steve Jobs, It keeps me inspired! So, I am sharing it in my blog.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down – that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960′s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

Sustainability. Responsibility Manifesto (3) - Pelestarian Kampus / Campus Sustainability

2011-02-19T00:13:00.000-08:00

Menyambung usul saya yang ketiga, iaitu pelestarian kampus, ataupun boleh dikenali dengan nama inggeris “Campus Sustainability”, sejajar dengan visi dan misi Dato Naib Canselor, Prof Dato Dr Zaini Ujang. Memang benar Pejabat Harta Bina UTM telahpun melaksanakan kempen ini secara besar-besaran, tetapi langkah mereka masih lambat utk mencapai matlamat tersebut. Jadi, saya ingin menjadi katalis untuk membantu dalam hal ini. Universiti Sains Malaysia USM telah berjaya mewujudkan no-plastic di sekitar kampus, bila UTM ingin mencapai ini lagi?

Dalam melaksanakan pelestarian kampus ini, fakulti kita masih kekurangan tong kitar semula. Jadi, manifesto saya adalah untuk meletakkan tong kitar semula di bangunan FGHT. Di sebelah tong kitar semula hendaklah mempunyai sebuah tong sampah hitam untuk membuang sampah yang tidak boleh dikitar semula supaya mahasiswa tidak membuang sebarang sampah ke dalam tong kitar semula.

Seterusnya, saya ingin membangkitkan semula kepenggunaan tong kitar semula di sekitar UTM dengan lebih efektif. Sampah sarap yang dikutip nanti hendaklah dijual atau diberi kepada syarikat kitar semula untuk diproses nanti. Tong kitar semula bukanlah hanya menjadi symbol semata-matanya, tetapi harus diguna dengan cara yang betul!! Adalah sedih apabila saya melihat plastik minuman dibuang ke dalam tong kitar semula, dengan air di dalam plastic, berada di dalam tong kitar semula. Di mana mentaliti kita sebagai mahasiswa? Tidakkah mereka tahu bahawa plastic tersebut tidak boleh dikitar semula, apatah lagi dengan air di dalam plastic?! Jadi, saya ingin mengetengahkan kepenggunaan tong kitar semula di sekitar kampus.

Cintailah bumi kita.

* Mungkin ada orang akan mempersoalkan, jikalau saya menggunakan konsep sustainability, kenapa saya masih menggantungkan poster dan mengedarkan flyers di fakulti dan Kolej 11? Namun, sila perhatikan poster saya dengan baik-baik, saya menyaran mahasiswa untuk kitar semula poster-poster saya, selepas Pilihan Raya Kampus. Mahasiswa juga digalakkan mengambil poster-poster saya selepas PRK untuk digunakan sebagai kertas conteng. Selain itu, setiap flyers saya mempunyai pernyataan, "Sila kitar semula," supaya dapat memberi kesedaran kepada para mahasiswa.

Kertas hijau kecil di poster saya.

Undilah saya, KOH WEN YING, sebagai calon fakulti FGHT.

Sustainability, Responsibility Manifesto (2) - Menaikkan nama FGHT

2011-02-18T23:08:00.000-08:00

Kini, sambung pula usul saya yang kedua iaitu inginlah saya menaikkan nama FGHT di UTM. Fakulti Geoinfomasi dan Harta Tanah jarang dikenali oleh mahasiswa lain di UTM, apatah pula di luar UTM. Terdapat banyak kali, apabila saya memperkenalkan diri kepada orang luar FGHT, mereka tertanya-tanya dengan course saya. “Course ini macam mana ea??” Saya rasa saudari-saudara FGHT juga pernah menghadapi situasi begini, BETUL TAK?

Perkara pertama yang ingin saya lakukan adalah meminta orang mengecat semula papan tanda di depan C02. Perkataan di atas papan hendaklah jelas dan terang supaya orang ramai dapat melihatnya dan akan cuba mengenali fakulti kita.

Di samping itu, FGHT banyak mengadakan GOP ke luar negara. Walaubagaimanapun, tidak ramai yang tahu tentang pengalaman GOP mereka. Jikalau hanya 20 peserta sahaja yang merasai pengalaman ini, bukankah ini merupakan suatu pembaziran? Jadi, jikalau saya dapat menjadi MPM , saya ingin mewujudkan sebuah papan kenyataan GOP dimana pengalaman GOP dapat dikongsi bersama mahasiswa lain. Bak kata pepatah:" Serampang dua mata."

Pertama, papan kenyataan yang diwujudkan di FGHT ini juga akan menjadi PERINTIS dalam UTM, kerana fakulti lain tidak pernah ada papan kenyataan khas untuk Program Global Outreach. Saya percaya perintis ini dapat menaikkan lagi nama FGHT di UTM.

Kedua, papan kenyataan sebegini dapat membantu mereka yang berhasrat untuk mengadakan GOP ke tempat lain dengan merujuk kepada maklumat yang terdapat di papan kenyataan tersebut. Seperti peribahasa :” Sharing is caring.” Melalui pendekatan ini, bukan sahaja mahasiswa di FGHT dapat mengetahui pengalaman untuk berkunjung ke luar negara, tetapi mahasiswa di fakulti lain juga akan mendapat manfaat sebegini.

Undilah saya, KOH WEN YING, calon fakulti FGHT.

Manifesto (1) - Menyempurnakan Kemudahan Infrastruktur di bangunan FGHT

2011-02-15T12:04:00.000-08:00

Pernahkah anda mempunyai pengalaman seperti berikut:
1) Sewaktu sampai ke kelas baru teringat terlupa mencetak assignment?
2) Situasi Kedua, Assignment disiapkan last minute di fakulti tetapi tidak dapat mencetakkannya dengan cepat kerana kedai fotostat jauh dari fakulti?
3) Situasi ketiga, Assignment telah siap dan bersedia menghantarnya kepada pensyarah, tiba-tiba baru perasan ada pertambahan atau pembetulan yang perlu dibuat dal am report tersebut. tetapi malangnya tidak dapat dicetak keluar dengan pantas walaupun mempunyai softcopy?

Melihat mahasiswa selalu menghadapi masalah tersebut, saya ingin mewujudkan perkhidmatan fotostat dan binding di FGHT supaya memudahkan mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan assignment dan report. Harga untuk perkhidmatan tersebut akan saya pastikan berpatutan, supaya tidak membebankan mahasiswa. Sebagai contoh, 5 sen untuk fotostat dan 10 sen untuk printing dan sebagainya.

Selain itu, fakulti kita mempunyai banyak bilik kuliah, bilik pensyarah dan makmal lain-lain, namun kita tidak mempunyai sebuah pelan yang sempurna yang akan menunjukkan semua bilik ini. Jadi, semasa pertukaran kelas, kita akan mengambil masa dalam mencari bilik yang hendak dituju. Hal ini secara tidak langsung TELAH MENGGANGGU SESI pembelajaran, terutamanya setiap kali awal semester kerana mahasiswa tidak mengetahui bilik kelas berada di mana. Ada suatu kali, saya dengan coursemate saya mengambil masa selama 20 min semata-mata untuk mencari di mana letaknya Makmal Komputer, dan telah terlepas beberapa pengumuman yang penting. Perumpamaan Melayu pernah mengatakan, “ Masa itu Emas.” Hal ini telah memberitahu saya bahawa betapa pentingnya sebuah pelan berlukis yang menunjukkan lokasi setiap bilik,di tingkat bawah c02, serta dimuatnaik ke laman web FGHT, supaya kita tidak sesat. Adakah anda setuju?

Di samping itu, saya juga ingin mewujudkan bilik khas untuk persatuan fakulti seperti PEMETA, LADS, PEHARTA, kelab Geoinfo dan Kelab Remote Sensing, setiap kelab satu bilik. Cetusan idea ini adalah kerana saya berpendapat mahasiswa yang berpesatuan memerlukan sebuah bilik untuk menyimpan fail-fail, rekod dan barang lain seperti kertas kosong dll. Mereka juga memerlukan sebuah bilik untuk mengadakan mesyuarat, selain daripada menggunakan bilik kuliah. Bilik khas tersebut juga dapat dijadikan bilik gerakan jika mereka ingin melakukan sesuatu aktiviti.

This is the course that I am enroll in right now. I am now a second year student. Till now, when I introduce myself, the response I heard were:

1) Is this our of your 8th choice?

2) Why you choose this course instead of Medic or other Engineering?
3) Your course suitable for girls?
4) You not scare become dark when working under the sun?

I always have my own anwser to encounter the question:
1) This is my fourth choice.
2) I think Medic and Engineering is boring
3) Maybe it is tough, but I can handle it. Sometimes, all the girls carry the heavy instruments around the campus.
4) Sunblock!! Even tough my skin will become dark, but this course challenge to travel a lot. Btw, I like travel

Geomatic Engineering is generally a course about earth measuring. We measure land and sea, and produce map from the observation. Want to know more? Feel free to comment!

2nd Year 2nd Sem Plan

2011-01-21T01:36:00.000-08:00

As usual, busy can't leave me. The activities I would join this semester is
1) Korean class (because I am join to Korea the coming July!)
2) Japanese class 2 (because I am the ex-Director of KTF Japanese class 1)
3) PEMETA treasurer (my course club) - I want to active in my course club now.
4) Chinese Debate (since first year)
5) GOP to Melbourne, Australia (Sept)
Last year I had become JKM for KTF. This year want to gain some different experience.

Two languages at one time? Seriously I only planned to join Korean Class, for my Korea trip. However, the low fee for Japanese Class is irresistible. RM80! Plus tutorial book RM5! And En Fabilah is planning to go for the homestay at Japan and I seriously don't want to miss this. So I end up with two foreign language. Wonder I would jumble them up or not. Haha. For example: Chonen (I, Korean) Wen Ying desu (is, Japanese).

PEMETA is quite unactive last year. I want it to be active this year! I just hand up the PEMETA account application letter to the student council, and hope I can get the stuff from Pejabat Bendahari on the coming Tuesday.

GOP- Global Outreach Program. I am the director since I planned it and I contact with the University in Australia. I had handed up the proposal for the approval from Dean of Faculty Geoinfomation and Real Estate, as well as from Deputy Vice Canselor (Academic and International). Can you guess how many student of my course are going? 42! I never expect such an enthusiatic respond from my coursemate. =D

Well, hope this sem will be enjoying.

ps: next year I planned to join Aiesec.

SUKAM ’11 XVlll

2011-01-20T01:27:00.001-08:00

This is me~!

Kulit wayang during Carnvial SUKAM

It’s the 18th SUKAM. SUKAM is the sports day between College in UTM. We, Tun Fatimah Residential College and Dato Onn Ja’afar Residential College had combined to run this 18th SUKAM. I still remember last year.

My role for the sports day is
1) Becoming the vice director for the Carnival SUKAM
2) Certificate Committee
3) Become Tigi (Tiger mascot)

Vice Director for the Carnival SUKAM
This position is not simple. It was my first time deal with such a hugh activity in UTM. Honestly, we do not manage to attract many students to visit the stall, and some stall’s people complain to us. Although it had be something to do with the publicity, we are also not creative enough to host this event. Lesson learnt from this activities. And thanks to Kak Zati for teaching me many stuff.

Certificate Committee
This is an even more complicated post. I need to make sure everyone get their cert. There are some students ask for cert even after the program, and I had to seek principle for the cert again. There are some conflicts as well, with the other committee ,and I need to use my own money for this, however, this also help me to understand the characteristic of this job and I can guide the junior when they take this post next time. My advice is: be fast and accurate.

Become Tigi
This is the nicest part. And my first experience too! I finally get to wear a custom outside and wave to the person. I must act active and friendly. However, I am too thin and the butt part of the tiger always did not stick in the right place. Haha, becoming Tigi can be hot and tiring.

This year (2010) we don’t have swimming competition already. I still remember last year I join the swimming competition and manage to get Silver Medal for Breast Style and Gold Medal for 4x100m.

Next year (2011), the Sports Unit of UTM will take over to become host for SUKAM. Therefore, we are the last colleges who organize SUKAM.

GJC ‘10

2011-01-20T01:27:00.000-08:00

Geomatic Junior Camp. Like this banner soooooo much! The creation of all the comittee members (I was not in that time)
Our warping skill. (Me, Ange, Aimi)

My first attempt to take photo for a program

In bus

Me, Yat, Ange

Mud~~~ I did not get involve...

Kem Kaizen

Obstacle game

Waterfall

My group's Junior

Ikram the photographer

Dataran Kaizen, our hall

Slurrp on my head

GJC stands for Geomatic Junior Camp. It is like the first year experience program for my course, Geomatic Engineering junior. The camp is held at Kem Kaizen, on the third week when the semester 1 started. I incharged prizes with Ange and Aimi. I still remember we wrapped the hamper in my room, and the hamper was not really nice looking, but the things inside really attracted us to consume it.

I still remember I handle a group with Black, but he did not turn up until the second day. Therefore, on the first day, I handled the group with Iqbal. My group name is Slurrp (we need to name the group after instant noodles).

The most vivid memories in the camp is during the night walk. Imagine you need to walk alone in the dark, only the moonlight shines on the ground, and NO ONE assist you during the walk. The floor is muddy and I felt down several time. YUCK~ don’t like the mud. My clothes become dirty. However, this activities teach me how to be brave to meet the obstacle in life, although you are alone, but you have no choice but continue in order to survive.

There is a waterfall near the camp site. We went to the waterfall too. Splashing with the cold water is really nice!

Oh ya, and we have station game as well. All the group members are force to drink a mixture of strange combination stuff, such as egg yolk with tea, tea with salt and etc. This is one more YUCK, but somehow it trained us to finish the mixture with team-work.

For conclusion, GJC can reduce weight~ Hehe. I had done many activities that consume energy, which I seldom done in UTM. Besides that, it helps to known our juniors too. =D

MTM- Minggu Transformasi Mahasiswa

2011-01-20T00:47:00.000-08:00

My design! =D

The hard work

Kursus to become a crew

Before depart to Port Dickson

The purpose I joined MTM is want to help the newcomers to adopt themselves well in the new environment, besides create an One-Malaysia image so that the newcomers will feel that UTM races mix well with each other.

We have a course in Port Dickson before we handle the newcomers. MPM such as Zaki had attend the course too. As usual, group discussion and some talks is given by TNC.

Besides that, we had also played in the Team Park. It is quite enjoying although I was finding for a more exciting game. We played netball too, with other crew.

I had the room with Sal, Yat and Tikah, because Rui Jing and Ranjeni slept with other Chinese. Well, I don’t mind since I used to sleep with Malay in MRSM.

During the MTM itself, I become strict in front of the juniors. Ask them to queue up, be on time and others. Take care of junior is tiring, we only have 4 hours sleep approximately. We slept later than them and we need to wake up earlier than them, to ask them to gather at DSA (for Muslim) and DSB (for non-Muslim).

I am incharged of the technical, so I need to set up all the instrument and microphone before and event starts. The screen projector in KTF is broken therefore I need to borrow it from HEMA. This is quite a difficult process as I only know that KTF’ screen projector had been spoilt on Friday. When this come, it will be difficult to deal with the counter. Therefore, I took the initiative to meet En Harun and get his signature. And this finally solved the problem, although I had been scolded by the other staff.

And one more thing I want to tell, I design KTF registration board. There are 8 of them! I like the butterfly and caterpillar concept. =D

I did not regret to join MTM 2010/2011.

Decision

2011-01-19T17:51:00.000-08:00

ISM is the organisation that I started to realise it is important, and I regret last time did not really join ISM's activities. I don't want to see ISM dying. Thanks to Athirah and Debra for always holding their responsibility.

I wish to help always, but usually it clashes with another things.

I will become a responsible ISMer, if nothing has change this February 2011.

No time!

2010-11-05T22:50:00.000-07:00

Spending the whole day of 4 Nov out with seniors to Seoul Garden for buffet.
Spending the whole day of 5 Nov with Chinese Debate members to watch the semi final of International Chinese Debate in Singapore
Spending the whole morning of 6 Nov settle all the stuff for the coming debate competition.

The study week is wasted? one and half a day to go..................................Sob Sob Sob.

I LOVE you SO much cert.

2010-09-01T09:55:00.000-07:00

THE FORMAT OF CERT IS NOT MY DESIGN. THE WORDS (SEKRETARIAT) ON CERT IS NOT MY IDEA. I WAS TOLD TO WRITE SEKRETARIAT FOR ALL CERT, BUT SOME CLAIM THAT WHY THE POSITION IS NOT WRITTEN.

THEN, I AM THE ONE WHO PEOPLE BLAME AT, BECAUSE I AM TOO KIND TO HANDLE THE CERT PROBLEM. I AM TOO RESPONSIBLE TO SETTLE THE CERT THINGS UNTIL I SEEM LIKE THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE CERT.

I CANT HAVE MY CERT DONE ON MONDAY BECAUSE I HAVE TEST ON WEDNESDAY, A 30% TEST. I HAD DEVOTED MYSELF SO MUCH TO THE CERT PROBLEM UNTIL I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO TWO TEST.

I KNOW NO WANT WANT TO BE BLAME. SO I AM TAKING THIS POSITION. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND. I AM NOT GOD. I NEED TO STUDY AS YOU DO AS WELL. THANK YOU.

I am ..... (speechless)

2010-08-29T07:29:00.000-07:00

Why?!

Tonight need to edit photo.

Tomorrow whole day class.

Tomorrow night I teach Japanese for those who did not attend the class today. (because suddenly change class feel very sorry for the participants. )

Even Tuesday is our National Day, I still have the Orkestra Practise!

And in between of these, the SUKAM certificate problem NEVER END.

When do I have time to read my TEST? My hydro test! A lot of term need to be memorised. A lot of theory need to understand.

My room is in the top of messy.

I hate my life.

Money

2010-08-10T01:32:00.000-07:00

Lets figure out what can be done with a small amount of money:
RM1.00 = A drink in Meranti (UTM cafeteria)
RM1.00 = Printing assignment
RM1.20 = Teh Ais
RM1.30 = Milo Ais
RM1.50 = A sandwich
RM2.00 = Rice with vegetable, milk shake
RM 2.10 = Gardenia Bread
RM3.00 = Rice with chicken and vegetable
RM5.00 = Chicken chop at Meranti or a nice pin
RM6.30 = FIlet o fish during lunch hour at McD
RM7.00 = Flight include tax from JB to Penang during promo
RM8.00 = Chicken Kebab at Sultan Restaurant
RM20 = 4 x Taxi fare going Taman U from Central Point
RM40= 1 night accomodation in Korea
RM75= 5 night accomodation in Bali
RM125= Return flight to Bali
RM255= Return flight to Korea
Rm400 = Redang
RM1000 = Spend in travelling

And lets see how the student used up their money:

RM1.00 x 7 = McD sundae corn = RM7
Rm2.40 = Unnessary Cadbury Chocolate
RM6.30 = Popcorn and soft drink for movies
RM20 + RM3 = Steamboat
RM9.00 = Earrings
RM10 = Sing K
RM10 = Movies
RM10 = Taxi fare from UTM to CS and to UTM/ person
RM50 = Make up set
RM45 = Trousers
RM15 = Clothes
RM30 = High Heel
RM39 = Sushi buffet
RM40 = White trouser
RM109 = Dress for dinner
RM50 x 12 = Boardband = RM600

if Rm7 + RM2.40+ RM6.30 + Rm23 +RM9 + Rm10 + RM10 + RM10 + RM45 + RM50 + RM15 + RM30 + RM39 + RM40 + RM109 + RM600 = RM985.70 (you can save this amount when you decline all the activities list above, once)

and see what you can do with RM975.70:
1) More than enough to go Redang, or
2) Book flights and accomodation for flight to overseas + Activities at there
3) More than enough to spend at Kuching
4)More than enough to go to Universal Studio in Singapore

So,
RM109 = Dress or flight?
RM20 = Buffet or 6 meals?
RM2.4 = Chocolate or one meals?
RM9 = Earring or three meals?
RM6.3 = Popcorn or two meals?
RM10 = Sing k or movie or 3 meals?
RM600 = Boardband (altough you have free wifi) or activities in attractive place?

Think twice when you about to spend your money!

In Johor Again

2010-06-20T19:47:00.001-07:00

Yeah, I am in Johor AGAIN. For the preparation of SUKAM and MHS (Minggu Haluan Siswa). Do you know what i missed for going so early to UTM? I missed the gathering with Kedah Gang (haven't met Cindy, Sandy and Pei Nian) and might miss the gathering with Dee. Sigh. I miss the total of two important gathering. Yesterday's gathering with Jia Lin and Lyn also quite rush.

Let see what shall I do for this busy semester:
1) Preparing a presentation slide for Freshman 2010
2) Make sure the transportation for Freshman 2010 is ok
3) SUKAM ( I dont know how much energy I had to cope with this big (should say enormous) event in UTM, even become the timbalan for Carnival SUKAM)
4) MHS (welcoming new student) - I sound excited about this, but what if this is a huge challenge for me to. Oh yeah, need to go register again our name in KTDI on 26/6.
5) Japanese Class (gosh, I almost forget this even though I am the Director for this program, need to plan early too.)
6) Chinese Debate (Although busy, I hope I still have time to contribute to Chinese Debate)
7) Taekwondo (Despite of the busy I know I have to endure this sem, I still dare myselft to take this as extra-cocuriculum, I might have to release my tension through sweating)
8) Fac Night (Fortunately I did not take any post in here. However, I start to worry what should I wear for the dinner)
9) Play trombone for graduation (The graduation ceremony will be held in the coming September, probably after Raya, this time, need to cope with the homeworks, tests and the orkestra practice)
10) 2SGU (This should come first actually, since the purpose I go to university is to study, not to participate in the 9 event list above)

Well then, good luck to you, Wen Ying.

Estee Lauder Model Search 2010 Experience

2010-06-11T08:02:00.000-07:00

Went to Queensbay for this, with mum.

Particular that need to fill in. Wrote 5'7" and 57 kg, dont know whether it was correct or not at that time. Just simply put.

After make-up, waiting for hair-sylist.

My hair before style.

After styled.

Wear in Eclipse apparal. Shooting session after that, the cameraman guided me a lot. ^^

For this photos, the cameraman is my sister. She told me to pose like this.

I choose this photos at last, with the assistance of the people there. He did some photoshop on the chosen picture. I was already so impressed with the non-edited photo, and the photo after editted is even more *wow*. Kept looking at my photos after that. xD

Actually I joined this contest is just for fun, not really want to go in the modelling, since i think there are many of the pretties one. And I think, since I am twenty already, and I will become older the next second, should have kept my youth inside the photos.

Go to get some try shoots in Queensbay, girls! The event will be over on 13 June.

Bakti Siswa (Some thought)

2010-06-11T07:00:00.000-07:00

When I knew I became the Head of Sponser Unit, I was quite nervous, especially when I was informed that I need to find money up to RM29000! However fortunately our Director of Program (my roommate!) told us that that the house will not be build at the village. Phew, but still need to find RM5000.

We went through every parts of Johor we know, ask humbly for the money, some of the shopkeepers were generous, which give us up to RM100 or RM50, but there were also a lot of shopkeepers who shoo us away, without giving us any money. Throught the finding-for-sponser-process, I knew that we need to be brave, and this E-in taught me a lot. When I paired with her to find sponser, we dared ourself to go to every shops, and many times the shopkeeper suprised us with 50 bucks or 100 bucks. We need to try every posibility. Thanks to Dr Sophia (first right picture below) too for driving us out, without any hesitation. And also to the participants to help us gather RM150 each person in their hometown, and toll up the RM5000. Besides that, at the very last minutes, we received RM6000 from Kip Mart Tampoi, make our amount toll up to RM6000 plus. The most important is, thanks to all my comitee members, Adlisa, Aqilah, E-in, Madi, Sahira and Zeti for the full coorperation in finding the money. (n.n)

Nurul (middle in above picture) is the director of this program. This program success, no last minute work a least, I salute her much. She poured a lot of her time in this, and also a lot of sleepless night because of this.

Tok Pat (my adopt dad), me and Mak Norma (my adopt mum).

Tok Pat treated us equally. Mak Norma kept asking us to eat, and my belly added some incies.

Our tukang masak in the village, Mak Ngah. She looked so happy taking pictures with us.

Our brother, son of Tok Pat, bekas komandan (as he always mentioned).

Our sister, daugther of Tok Pat (in red scaft), her child Hidayah and husband. As a lecturer in UiTM Macang, she can speak english to us, most of the time.

I enjoyed the program much. Thanks to everyone. (n.n)

Bakti Siswa (Day 3)

2010-06-10T06:56:00.000-07:00

I like the above picture. Is actually Kak Siti asked us to pose like dat.

The very early in the morning (8 am), my Sponser Unit need to be there early to help Food Unit to prepare food. However, only 3 of us at there punctually, Athirah, Ola and me. Sahira came later. But the cleaning of pots and plates did not really need lots of people. Four of us there were sufficient.

Later I noticed Ada was frying fishes, I went to help, Athirah came later, and ended up Athirah and me fried the fish together. She teached me how to know whether the fishes had fried.

This was the famous dish in Pahang. It is called Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak. I wondered what is tempoyak mean?

Ok well, Dr Sophia's husband really ..... Ask us to go away from the chairs so that he can take photo with his wife, upacara bersanding. (>.<)

Our adopt father insisted that we should drink Pandan Coconut Juice. On the last day finally, our bekas komandan abang picked some pandan coconut for us. Later he even picked some young coconut for us to eat the coconut flesh. Now only i know the the best coconut flesh is from the young coconut.

This is what i always do to fill in little gap in or between activities -- read new moon. So addicted to the story.

Bakti Siswa (Day 2)

2010-06-09T06:31:00.000-07:00

Tada! My second day breakfast! Pulut + Daging Kerbau + Ikan Masin. My addict for salted fish is always there.

In fact for the second day, I became facilitator for Kem Motivasi with the secondary students. However, the students were too few (only 10 came for the camp) and I was told to do mural (again) for SK Sekara.

"No Pain, No Gain" was the words I suggested, short and simple. Imagine if we wrote a pantun which consist of 4 lines (x.x). We were given only 3 colour, red, green and black. But thanks to Nad, we manage to produce another colour, brown, by mixing red and green and a little bit black.

The afternoon station is station game. My station need to give the primary students to smell what was the odour in the bottle. Smart children. They could guess the odour with their eyes blindfolded, and on the other hand I could not guess the smell even after I saw the colour of the odour.

In the evening, there was an Sukaneka held in front of Balai Raya. The below picture was my random pose, but i like it so much.

Below is when all the contestant ran towards us (above) to complete their tasks.

This was the part I did not really like. I had to hold an empty bottle, waiting for others to "transfer" water to the bottle from the other full bottle. The saline was like *yuck*.

At night we had Malam Kebudayaan in front of the Balai Raya. The performances were not well-prepared, but we managed to come up with somethings --- Boria dance and Nyanyian Satu Malaysia.

It was a very tiring day. I slept before I packed my luggage.

Bakti Siswa (Day 1)

2010-06-09T05:12:00.001-07:00

This is my first time sleeping at Malay Kampung. We actually went to Kampung Baru Huma Luas, Chenor, Temerloh, Pahang for Bakti Siswa. Bakti Siswa is actually a kind of activity by university to bring benefits to the village and villager there. Rui Jing, Ranjeni and I were sisters at there. I was glad that I can be the youngest. (n.n) Our father, En Asri (or Tok Pat) is the head of village. He told us that others villager might dont want to adopt us because we are from different religion. He really good to adopt us. He also told us that last time he also adopt one chinese guy from Sabah when they organise activity at the kampung. I was very happy and respect to Tok Pat that he treated us equally regardless of race and religion.

We had lunch in his house, prepared by his daughter. One of the dishes is Ikan Patin goreng. Our mother said that when you come to Pahang, you must eat Ikan Patin, because it is one of the dishes only in Pahang. The fish is only available in Sungai Pahang.

After lunch, we were told to draw mural for Bilik Gerakan Jawatan Kuasa Kebajikan dan Keselamatan (JKKK). I was in-charged to draw letter in Mahjung paper before we proceeded the painting on the wall. The weather was hot there, and I was sweating.

I done the painting too. The words JKKK is my drawing. Everyone said that the letter JKKK is the nicest, Muahahaha. I did not know I done mural before or not (or maybe I had not done for a long time), but I was satisfied with my painting skill.

By the way, the words M for HUMA I did spoilt it I admit. However, the words were still nice from far.

At night, we went to a family house to help the preparation for a wedding the next day. All of us were asked to help to prepare Bunga Telur, that is wrap the boiled egg in the blue net, and then tied it with a blue string. It was my first time to do this!!

The Bunga Telur were then put on a bottle-like things (I dont know what it is called).

Rui Jing and me is showing our first-done-Bunga-Telur in our live.

Below is my most satisfied Bunga Telur wrap.

Tree of bunga telur.

Our hand became blue after the wrapping process. You know why? Because the boiled eggs were wet, and the net is blue, so when our hand took the boiled eggs, our hand became wet, and when it is in contact with the blue net and blue thread, our hand is "dye" blue.

Back Home

2010-06-08T08:47:00.000-07:00

Finally at home again. Reached home after 12 hours, and felt a bit nausea. The bus journey should takes only 8 hours during day time.

Now the dizziness still play in my head.

This 2 weeks holidays, whats up?
1) Print out the photos of temerloh to give to my keluarga angkat, Tok Pat and Mak Norma.
2) Upload the photos of Kampung Baru Huma Luas in facebook
3) Write blog about my experience in Malay Kampung
4) Gathering with MRSM friends (Lyn and Jia Lin) and maybe KMK friends (see they will organise gathering somewhere else or not, but I am too afraid of bus riding)
5) Go to take some photos shoot for Estee Launder Model Search (just for fun, since I am still young)
6) Plan to buy a DSLR with my sister (maybe a second-hand one)
7) Find "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" in the local library
8) At least once: practice piano and Guzheng.
9) REST WELL before going back to UTM at 25/6

Polluted Beach (Media Coverage)

2010-06-03T01:02:00.000-07:00

Living things found dead in the polluted beach at Pengerang.

This is my first time, paying visit to the polluted beach, which is beside Tanjung Kapal Beach Resort, the place is called Pengerang. At first, we thought we are going to the beach to clean rubbish, pick up rubbish and so on. Therefore, I even bring my shorts, extra clothes and slipper to change at there.

However when we reach there, we saw Raja Zarith (Sultanah Johor), Datuk Azalina Othman and our UTM vice-cansellor, Prof Datuk Dr Zaini Ujang. I never expect I was attending a event with royal people. Cool. Everyone is keeping taking pictures of Sultanah Johor, and interview her. Reporters were with their DSLR and video camera, interview Sultanah Johor. Woo hoo, I managed to take photos of Sultanah Johor.

It was raining, but not heavy (I forgot the term to describe small rain). Actually we just need to take some sample from the beach, for instance sand, small rocks, branches and some sea water, instead of picking rubbish beside the beach. The sample would be taken to UTM for lab procedure.

Our hand became dirty because we used hand to collect the samples.

You see, the sand is BLACK. Not even white. And it can reflect light, means that it contains oil in it.

The bottle is filled with sample until full.

After collecting the sample, our hand is fulled of oil. One of the participant asked us to brush our hand with sand to get rid of the oil, before washing our hand with water.

As usual, we posed to take group picture after the activities.

Girls from Kolej Tun Fatimah UTM. Boys from Palapes K11.

The next day, I saw our picture in Sin Chew Johor Edison. The fourth person is me. My face is covered by hat (>.<). I should not have wear that hat. The picture is just part of our acting. Recalled the conversation of reporter yesterday:

Reporter: I want to take photos of Satu Malaysia, please come please come to here.

(We were actually at the other side to the beach, not really near to the packs of sand, the packs of sand were not collected by us, they were already there before we reached the beach)

Reporter: Try to act naturally. Oh no, you (he point to me) go beside her (Rui Jing).

(I was beside Adlisa at that time. Then I moved next to Rui Jing)

Reporter: Try to use stick. Look inside the plastic.

(...)

He took a lot of picture, but this picture was chosen.

I never thought that the event covers much media coverage.

The Star.

Utusan.

TV3 reporters recorded some of the interview parts with Sultanah Johor. But I missed the TV3 news yesterday.

It is a great new experience of collecting samples at the polluted beach. We usually go to the clean beach, not the dirty one. From this activity, I know how the polluted beach look like. The sand is black, oily and the only living thing found at there is small crab. The crab could not even dig into the sand because the oil had make the sand pack, is hard to dig in. And there is also blot of oil near the rocks. When you touch the rock, it is sliperry.

Eventually, I think student of UTM going there is just to be the model to fill in the newspaper column. We did not help a lot actually. We spent 2 hours 30 minutes on bus to go to the beach, only 1 hours 30 minutes at there, and another 2 hours 30 minutes back to UTM.

Hope this event can raise the awareness of public.

4 Free Shirt

2010-06-01T09:15:00.000-07:00

I get 4 T-shirt for free today.

From the picture, the first one "Kem Pembentukan JKM" shirt which I did not attend the camp last time. I found it in bilik JKM today, M size, so I just took it.

The second one is the shirt for the coming Bakti Siswa 2010 Kolej Tun Fatimah in Pahang, to be specific Kampung Huma Luas, Chenor, Temerloh Pahang.

The third one is the shirt given by Alumni, free. I like the UTM logo in front of the shirt.

The fourth one (red) is for the program tomorrow, let just give it a name - "Johor Beach Cleaning Day". Yeah, because of the boredom in UTM, and because we are invited by TNC for this program, we join it. The time scheduled from 8am (so early and I haven't packed my bag) to 3pm, and we are headed to one of the beach in Johor ( dont know what beeach). I forget to tell about the shirt. It is actually found in bilik JKM too. We took it because it is free, and long sleeve to protect us under the sun.

p/s: I wonder why I like to blog in english recently. Maybe because I have read an english novel. xD

Twilight

2010-06-01T03:19:00.000-07:00

I just finished reading "The Twilight Saga: Twilight". It is the first English novel which I understand how was the plot and I manage to finish it in two days. I remembered I want to start to read "The Lord of The Ring" for many times, but the introduction of Hobbit already made me sleepy. "Twilight" is nice, the word in the novel is big enough for me to see, plus the conversion between Bella and Edward is romantic. =D

I just booked " The Twilight Saga: New Moon" from my university library throught internet just now. When I return "Twilight", hopefully I can get "New Moon" already. Quite bored staying in UTM with nothing to busy.

This Afternoon

2010-05-30T23:31:00.000-07:00

With internet, I realise I become a internet geek, forever looking into the facebook for NOTHING!

This is very worse. This afternoon, I am going to
1) Off Facebook (Don't care bout the notification, it just only 2 for one hour, try to open it after one day)
2) Off MSN (Don't try to appear offline)
3) Off Hotel City (Try to give the shift up to 8 hours)
4) Clean my messy room (I have not clean up my lunch plate)
5) Read Twilight (Guess what? I found it in UTM library!)
6) Get some nap.
7) Go jogging. (Lady easily get fat during this age)

Good. My plan this afternoon.

Losting in Sarawak Day 4

2010-05-28T20:13:00.000-07:00

The Cat Status
Riverside Majestic
The view of Kuching city
Tua Pek Gong
Tua Pek Gong

I forget the name of this temple, it is opposite to Tua Pek Gong. The carving is amazing.

Colourful Carving

The 200-plus-year-old bell

We use quite a lot of time strolliing around rapid station, because the bus station is temporarily place at Stadium Bukit Jalil. Joo Ean leaded the way because she is UM student.

Everyone not allow me to go back alone from KL, so I need to go Alor Star first, then transit to Kulim from there.. haha. Finally back home. =D

p/s: I like the purple scarf that my mum lend to me. Looks cool.

p/s 2: Though we did not manage to visit Bako National Park(Lost in Sarawak) and Pottery Factory(Cant find the factory name in GPS), we manage to visit Fort Margerita, DUN, Satok Market, Serikin Market, Fairy Cave, Wind Cave, Sarawak Cultural Village, Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse, Astana at night, the night view of Sarawak River, half of the Sarawak Museum, Cat Status and Cheng Ho Status(called the memorial of Malaysia-China if not mistaken). Also ate Kolo Mee, Kam Pua Mee, Sarawak laksa, pork satay, teh ais C (5 lapis!).

And we found out that Kuching got real lots of roundabout, and very big one with name. Some roundabout even have building on it!

Suggestions:
1) The attractions in Kuching should be list out in every junction so that the visitor can find their ways easily.
2) Plan one day free for the unexpected emergency if you go to play without tourist guide.
3) Buy if you feel like buying (I miss that black cat shirt, I didn't buy because I thought I would met the shirt somewhere else)
4) Buy a RM10 map, if you find that the map given is not complete.
5) Make sure you have enough battery for GPS.

*p/s: I miss the moment we lost in Kuching city. And the moment we find our way to Bako National Park (你过了那座桥再问人）And the moment v assume a lot of things.
**I will go Kuching again to visit all the place I have not go through.

Cultural Show

Bidayuh's Long House stairs.

Too bad when we reach the Cultural Village, the village is about to close. And we didn't make it to the Damai Beach because everyone seem to be very tired. Nevermind, I shall visit Kuching one more time the other days.

Kuching Losting Trip Day 1

2010-05-28T05:49:00.000-07:00

Date: 22/5 till 25/5
Accomodation: Hilton Hotel's opposite= Tune Hotel Waterfront Kuching
Transportation: A Rental Wira

I was obviously the planner (not really good one), Wei Pin used "his" GPS phone to guide us here and there plus took pictures, Yuan Jun and Peng Zhi become driver and map reader, Yongli is a really good map reader, and Joo Ean cheered us during our journey.

First of all, why Losting? Because Kuching dont have a lot of direction plate and we spent a lot of our time spinning in the roundabout. The roundabout in Kuching really BIG, and with names. Once you turn into the wrong exit, you have to go through quite a distance before you can do an U-turn. Its tiring.

In Sultan Abdul Hamid Airport

I change clothes.. hehe.. notice?

We fly with Air Asia

View from the plane

We reach LCCT at 935am. Spending time there playing poker while waiting for our flight at 110pm.

2010-05-28T04:11:00.000-07:00

I would want to say "I am sorry" to somebody here.
I lied to you, sorry. I said that I accidentaly post the picture on facebook but actually I even go to tag the picture. However, I was not purposely to tease you or what, really. I did not even think about the pictures when I upload on the Facebook. I just uploaded, without any intention.
If I said sorry to you again, you would say you dont even remember what had happen.
But sincerely, I apologize to you here.
Hope for your forgiveness if you ever angry to me.

Outing 20/5

2010-05-20T09:13:00.000-07:00

Today Lyn and me go to Sunway Carnival mall for the first 3D movie in Sunway, Sherk The Last Chapter. Before watching movie, we have our lunch at Kenny Rogers. What a coincidence! Lyn and me ordering the same thing, Quarter Meal and Sundae Icecream.

Lyn, she looks prettier with rebounding.

Me.

It is really my first time to watch movie in 3-Dimension. The staff gave me a special spectacle. One of the staff (but he look like manager) told us to read the instruction. "If you broke the spec, you need to pay RM150." Ok, I will becareful. Oh ya and a recommendation here: sit in the front seat for a greater 3D experience, the staff said.

=.=/ I am showing off?

Tada! Prove here! Cant see 3D? Nevermind, I enlarged it.

3D 3D 3D.

The 3-D effect is a new experience. But i was expecting a more real effect, like the knife suddenly moved just in front of your eyes.

After that, we went to ESPIRIT. And wow guess what? I found my camera shirt for RM 34.95!! The price is initially RM99, Then it is RM 69.90 when i was attracted to it last time. And then i saw the tag price RM 49.90 on it. And today, when it has 30% off, it is RM 34.95. So happy when i bought it. And Lyn bought it too, a red colour one. Maybe one day we should wear it out together.

Prove here!

Triple Camera?

Then we went for earrings. I was happy to found the earrings that I want, although I thought the price might be a little bit expensive, RM6 for a pair. I was thinking I should just buy it, since I might not see it after that.

Then we went to gift shop for fun. And it is really fun. Saw a lot of interesting and creative stuff.

Back time is not fun however. We wait bus on 530pm, and only reach home at 8.00pm. But after all, it worth cause i bought my camera shirt with such a cheap price. I even pair it with a shorts at home. (n_n)

Dont know what to put for title

2009-03-22T23:49:00.000-07:00

When I read my posts in this blog that i posted last time, i realised how much my English level degrade. I started to worry about my english subject in PSPM.
Everyone in Matriculation seems to be ready for their final examination, except me who is still day-dreaming. I could not really remember the mechanism and all the reaction in Chemistry, and I cant remember all the formula in Physics. For Mathematics subject, I am very afraid to start the revision because I scare I would become more anxious about the preparation for PSPM. How how how...

Driving Lesson

2008-08-12T22:25:00.000-07:00

Its have been a long long time i didnt touch my dabeliu_y blog.. Now, i am back.
Let tell about my driving lesson. When talking about driving, my friends would surprisingly ask: "You born at 3rd of Jan, but you dont have your driving license yet?" Ok, I had been in a boarding school during Form 4 and Form 5, and after my secondary schooling, i went to National Service, then I had to attend (fruitless) interviews for a month before I started to take the law exam at the end of april. Besides that, my driving school had a lot of student ( I should be proud of this actually ) which made I had to take the 3-hour-practical driving lesson to get license L in May. Ok, then I have to enrol in matriculation college on 26 May and cant continue the ten-hour driving lesson.
Today i finally attended the ten-hour-driving lesson. However, i need to pay RM35 to renew my license L (conclusion: driving needs a lot of money). At first, I thought the driving school instructor would going to teach me to drive on the road which will be very exciting and fun. But, he reteached me the skills to go up hill, to park car and to make the u-turn. Oh, i still could not do well for this three basic skills.
(1) The car slided down when i pulled up the hand brake, fortunately i know how to press brake.
(2) I knocked down a few post when i parked my car. This was so embrassing. *shy*

This afternoon i got to learn driving on 4 to 6 pm.

Those memories still fresh (Last)

2008-05-23T06:55:00.000-07:00

Two years in MRSM Beseri was finally passed. MRSM Beseri had help me to develop a disipline and mature personality. I had become more confident to express my opinion, i started to love who i am, not too mind about what others think of me and not shy to greet and talk to strangers.
I was also choosen to represent school, which will never happen in my lower secondary school. i know other races custom better than before. I can channel my creativity in decorate my room and through art projects in school.

School tangki

"What if i am still in my lower secondary school now?"

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
.....
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
~~The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost

Yeah, somehow i had taken the ones less traveled by, it does made me different from others.

"Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back."
~~The Road Not Taken

Therefore, it was useless to regret what you have walked. You could not U-turn anyway. All you have to do is to focus on the junction to see your future destination. Right turn? Left turn? Straight ahead?
Maybe the rewards can't be seen now but later in a few years.
Maybe i shall be grateful enough for granted the Matriculation after appeal, although I am still hoping for another path.

I am not regret to study at MJSC Beseri.

Those memories still fresh (3)

2008-05-23T02:55:00.001-07:00

My Form 5 block--- Block F. My cube-- DF 26. My cubemates- Wawa, Umi, Jun. In this cube, i would always have kenduri , an eating gathering with our DF 27 neighbours--Zainab, Liyana, Miza. The home-cook curry they brought after returning to MRSM Beseri was savoury. They also knew i didn't eat beef and they won't serve me with beef.

Well, my nons-junior only consisted of 2 chinese guys and 1 indian girl.

The red board was my motivation board. Actually the reason i put this board on my wall was just to cover the rude words that had been scribbled by the previous resident. Do you notice the bear on the board? I drew it and i really like that bear very much. Whenever i felt lazy to study, i would glance at my motivation words on that board to increase my momentum. I even listed down the thing-to-do to cope with the busy schedule of form 5. That cow card was given by Lyn Maye and the chinese new year card was presented by Jia Lin.

This was the letter posted back by Miss Tan, who was my chinese teacher during form4 in MRSM Beseri. I wrote the chinese essay to her so that she could mark my essay.

I also went through the mock interview to help me gain experience of interview.

Those memories still fresh (2)

2008-05-23T02:12:00.000-07:00

*Drum roll* Then comes my friend, Lyn Maye. She was the one who went to find me in my cube. My cube if DB 25, and hers DB 24. Neighbour. We ate in Dewan Selera together, preped together. She always knew what i think, and when i was down, she would lend her shoulder for me to cry. After the orientation week, we seemed like had seperated with the non-seniors. And i had completely forgotten the name of the senior. In order to remember the seniors names, we created names for them. Jiaxin sured had the "Four flat" title, and Choon Seong, because of his ability to walk with no sound, and sometimes when he passed, we did not even aware of it, so he was the "Silent Walker" (Sorry, choon seong, just want to tell the truth). And sometimes, we even complained when some senior didnt smile to us. Haha! I admitted we like to gossip about people and always ended up with giggles. Haha! But at semester two, our relationship with senior had become close.

In this classroom, 4D, where lyn and I always preped with each other.

Jia Lin was an active and out-spoken girl. But since her cube was in block F, i seldom met her. When talking about her, i had to say that she was a smart girl and nice to chat with.

At the mid-year of Form 4, i wanted to transfer back to my lower secondary school for a few reasons, but Chiew Yee had consulted me to stay on. Really thanks to her because without her, i might not become excellent in my study at MRSM Beseri.

wenying, fatin, intan, azimah, asma, dini, alia--- my classmate

Those memories still fresh (1)

2008-05-22T05:24:00.000-07:00

I still remembered the first day I stepped into MRSM Beseri, wearing my lower secondary school t-shirt -- SMART-B, short haired. The day before that, when i went to lower secondary school to sign the "School Leaving Certificate", unbelievably, I cried and hugged my friends. Frankly, I was reluctant to go to the boarding school, especially when I imagined I was the only Chinese girl there.

When i reached MRSM Beseri, Chu Huan is the first person who greets me. She wore spectacle and wore an adorable smile, which made me felt warm. When i entered the school hall, one of the staff could not even recognise my gender.

Oh! Therefore from that day on, i sweared to leave my hair long.

Then, when i sat down in the hall, Choon Seong and Hui Ting approached me, telling me the schedule of MRSM Beseri, and made me relieve that there were still have a lot of Chinese senior to guide me.

During the orientation which organized by Nons senior, I choose Poh Hee to be my model, and i decorate her with a Hawayi-girl style। At the beginning, i was quite nervous to see others keep decorating their models, while i stood stonily there, thinking of how to make the fashion. After some time, i managed to do a newspaper singlet, newspaper gaun for her, a newpaper flower crown (what is 花圈in english?.. i am quite confuse) and also two hand-bangles. During the persentation, Lim (Woei Shyong) is the main judge (the senior told). I admitted i was quite trembled when i gave my explanation in ENGLISH. Oh my God, i never did the presentation in english, and i felt like crying. The seniors even asked a question， " Hawayi girl should not wear singlet, right? She should wear ..." Oh, at that moment, I completely ran out of idea. Fortunately, Poh Hee explained ，“This is Beseri." And for the newspaper fashion design, i became the winner(no prize), quite surprising, because i think the others fashion was superior than me. Maybe my model was beautiful, haha!

Then about my communication with cube-mates. On the first week, i did not understand a single word when they talked in their bahasa pasar. But my cube-mates were kind enough to speak bahasa baku wif me. I really like my cube-mates. They never saw the colour of skin when they mingled with you. I still remember Zainab ask a Malay friend to apologise to me when that friend broke my mp3 earphone and pretend nothing happened. I still remember Rawiah helped me to hang my clothes when my ankle sprained. And also Sofiyana, who helped me in Additional Mathematics. When the examination was around the corner, i usually gave tuition to my cube-mates, because i dont know how to pay their caring deed(can i say like this, i mean the phrase). When our hostel was known as haunted, we even slept together by combining beds. Before sleeping during the haunted period, the would recite their prayer while i recited mine, for blessing. I think this was called the unity of different races, and this is so Malaysia, and i like it very much.

I am major in..

KPLSPM interview

2008-05-06T21:12:00.000-07:00

I woke up at 5.45 am to prepare to go to Institut Perguruan Tuanku Bainum, which is situated at Mengkuang. Before this, the only thing I knew about Mengkuang is the Mengkuang Dam Park where my family always go to jog.

We started our journey at 6.45 am, reaching there at 7.05 am. We are actually arrived one hour before the interview session start. We all thought that the institute is very far away from our house, yet we are reaching there after 20 minutes..

My panel was Panel A. I met a chinese guy who had finished his STPM. Then the INSAK test began. This is the time i realised the important of a watch. Before the interview, i even declined to bring the watch when asked by mum because my handphone can display time. Why should i bring an unuseful thing right? No, i was wrong. There was no clock in the interview room and I had to rush to complete the 135 question. Thankfully, there was still 5 minutes after i completed the test.

After that, comes the group interview. For my panel, 6 student should come, but out of the number, only the chinese guy and me turned up. For the B and C panel, the situation even worse. There were only two malay girl turn up for each panel respectively. The attendance rate was really pathetic. And think, how should both of the girls conduct their group discussion? Therefore, four of us formed a group.

The group discussion was mainly about leadership. There were two question written: " Based on your experience and observation, what is a good leader should exhibited?"(not really remember) and "what is the advice you want to give to your junior about the leadership?". At first, I did not really have point in my mind. I was getting quite nervous when i saw others joiting down the point furiously on their paper. Oh ya, remember to bring your own paper and pen. They won't provide us. Fortunately before the discussion started, i braved myself to get some paper from my bag and i give some of the paper to the chinese guy.

Something struck my head suddenly. Oh ya, I could tell them my position in the school and eleborate the point, such as how to lead a society etc. In this way, I could boost my position in my school as well.

I was satisfied with my performance although i did not done well. I liked to be the opposition sometimes. When others were saying about the leader should be a joker, I told them sometimes meeting should not take to much about personal thing. When others were saying leader should listen to others opinion, I told them leader should also be able to make decision on their own, if the leader want to take everyone opinions, the final decision could not come out.

For the individual interview, it was the two to one interview. The chinese guy went in first. The interviewer asked him about the discipline in school. For me, the interviewer asked my about national service, no introduce-myself beginning. Then the interviewer asked me about how the mentor-mentee helps me in teaching(i wrote this in the penyataan hasrat). This one, i told them i about i related the concept with the daily life to help my mentee to understand. I also say that this help me to gain passion on teaching.

Then, they asked me about tuition:
You have good result. Do you go for tuition?
I am from MRSM, so i didnt go tuition. ( i should elaborate more: MRSM is a boarding school)
What do you think of tuition? Advantages and disadvantages?
(Tell them both..)

(I forgetted what they asked in the middle)

Last question :But when you become teacher, you will give tuition also...
I dont think I will have time to give tuition, I would have many activities in school and need to take care for my child (just for elaboration during interview) . Besides that, I am satisfied with the teacher's salary.

After that is the english writing test. With no watch, I still managed to finish it in 20 minutes. The essay question is " My family" and " How to be a great speaker". At first i was wondering which to write, then i choose to write MY FAMILY. There had been a long time i didnt touch english essay, therefore, i only used one bombastic word in the essay. Quite bad..

11 am, I went home with my mother.

Dermologica

2008-05-04T21:52:00.000-07:00

Dermologica is a international facial product brand (is this grammatically correct?) that had improved my skin condition.

I was introduced to Dermologica when i was in Form 2, by my third aunt (can i say like this??)who worked as the beautician for the Dermalogica Company, when my skin was scattered (is this grammatically correct again?) with pimples. I was hesitated to believe the effectiveness of the Dermologica product as it was too expensive and I did not see any improvement on my face, after I used it for a week.

However, when my cousin who is one day younger than me paid a visit to me during holiday after PMR, I was stunned when saw the flawless face of her. Her face is so smooth and pearly white (can i use the adjective like this?) without any pimple or scar on it. She was now so pretty that she unintentionally invited the stares of men wherever she went. What was the most important is, she was using Dermologica product as well! Then I knew it was something to do with my attidude. I had never wash my face so frequently that my cousin did. Sometime, I was even lazy to clean my dirty face before I went to bed ( dont laugh at me.. ).

Therefore, from that day on, I follow the strict timetable to wash my face, three wash per day.

My face had improved when I was in form 4, but become worsen during form 5 as the important examination, SPM was coming, but still, if compared with form 2 and form 3, form 5 was better.

And after SPM, when I went to National Sevice, the scohrching ( i dont know how to spell it) sun kept burnt my face dark. Therefore, beside using sunblock there, I apply a whitening serum every night, however, the whitening could not even save my dark face.

Now, when i come back from NS, my face pimples reduced much more. I hardly spot any pimple or scar on my face. I am really satisfied with my face condition now. Thanks to Dermologica (like making a advertisement)!!

The Dermalogica product is extremely costly, but my mum still dont want to tell me the real price for the product. I just know I can have discount from my aunt. But since my face is ok now, my mum insults (have such word?) me to use another cheaper facial products. Friends, any idea?

Prepare for KPLSPM interview

2008-05-01T06:54:00.000-07:00

7 books to read for Kursus Perguruan Lepas Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (KPLSPM)!! I am really go for the interview!!!

According to the elder people, teacher is a good profession with many perks and long holidays. However now, the teaching occupies a much lower rung of respectablility compared with before and is not viewed as a profession of choice for various reasons: heavy workload, overbearing parents, lack of promotion prospects and being posted to remote areas.

Actually, this ambition never crose over my mind until I saw KPLSPM--Program Penghantaran Pelajar Cemerlang ke Universiti Terkemuka Luar Negara... Wow, a scholarship that can send you to oversea!

Therefore, I had gone through the reseach of teacher profession and found that I am suitable for this profession. I used to become the mentor for Addition Mathematics and Chemistry in MJSC Beseri and I have the passion to teach until my mentee fully understand what I teach. I felt greatly satisfied when I know that they are going to use that knowledge to score in their examination and then as the basic skill in their job later.

Therefor, I has to work hard for the interview, INSAK test(test about teacher personality) and an english essay to be write on the spot ( there has been a long long time I do not write the english essay!!).
