Unlucky Family Day?

2008-11-13T13:54:00.008+08:00

Time : 8am - 2pm

Date : 2 Nov '08

Venue : Pantai Balok

Family Day! It's synonymous are common to every organization which celebrated once in a year. But, for KPM it has been delayed for two years. Why? Thanks to the "very commited" Staff Club committe. The day some might think its not important.

It's an happy day where all KPM staff was gathering to close gaps between working hierarchy statuse and strenghten the relationship among KPM staff. Altogether were involving and take parts in many games/activities planned by the organizer to rose the day. There are many games such as giants sandals, "lari dalam guni", "tarik upih", "tarik tali", and many others including children games such as collect candy, throwing ballon etc. From the first activities, I act as a MC (bidan terjun) which means I can't take part from the games and eliminate the possibilies to win any prize.

Even the shiny day are not always bright so do to some of the staff members who exciteted waiting for the last activities of the day which is lucky draw. Knowingly there is only 15 prizes await, we do put our shoes as a lucky one. At the end of the day, we are not lucky to win any prize even a hamper. Unlucky family day (for me). After all, its an happy moment for all of us, know better each other and most importantly are pampering our relationship. Some might happy with the prize and lucky draw, but to evaluate in return all things we have got there, its too precious.

MPC Convocation

2008-10-31T17:18:00.021+08:00

28/10/08. 3:00 AM, my sweet dream had been distracted with a phone call by our head of warden. With a little conciousness I have been told that there was a student whose been sent to the hospital with the ambulance and I as a replacement for warden duty have to go there and check the condition of that poor student. Thanks god, its all finish around 5:30 AM. With only one hour left, there is no in such condition that I can go to sleep again, so I just check my packing and do some neccessary things for the preparation. 6:30 AM, I still remember the moment which I had to be ready to go to Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) where MPC convocation took place. I feel very sleepy when my foot stepping step by step to the college bus. I just wish if I could take a good nap around, sometime maybe. Around 6:40 AM, if I'm not mistaken, we all depart. It's all 15 of us, TPHEA (Cik Hjh. Noraini), 4 head of departments (Ust. Md. Zan, Mdm. Zarina, Mdm. Munirah, Miss Isalinda), 5 lecturers (Mr. Ikhsan (it's me), Mr. Zainol, Ustzh. Noraini, Mdm Rohida, Miss Zuliarty), 2 administration staff (Kak Fauziah, Kak Yan), 2 technicion (Mr. Najmuddin and Mr. Saiful) and 2 drivers (Mr. Sakhawi and Mr. Sapri). Gender allocation is quite balance with 7 male and 8 female. Our feeling is not something interesting to share about because we are all in the mode of sleeping.

About an hour from our departure, a nightmare incidents ever imagine distracting and disturb our harmony ride to the PICC. Can we just imagine the situation where the bus are moving with a normal speed and suddenly one of the tyre are burst off. It is what happen to our journey. Momentarily, all of us were shock, panic and don't know how to elaborate our other thought and feeling on that time. I just grab the seat in front of me to be ready for what might happen next. To be honest, the only thing run through my head is the bus will collapse. Others are doing the same thing, but I do think that I'm the most winner for the acting part. It's all thanks to our driver, En. Sakhawi who handle the situation in calm manner to make sure that the bus are not collapse from the incidents. He has a wide experience in driving and must be a great help to this kind of situation. About 3 to 5 minutes then the bus were stop from moving. Right agfter the bus was stop, we all going out to see what happen to our bus that endanger our life (and it could be).

We were all amazed when look at the condition of the tyre and really appreciate to the god that no bad things happen and we are safe for the moment. Better than just staring at the tyre and talk about it, male are moving to change the tyre with the spare one. Ah, to tell all the details, it tooks all day long for what we have been doing to do a replacement. But, for each problem arise we encounter it with a good cooperation and teamwork. It's all truth when the quotes said "teamwork is key of the success". No order were taken, all of us are willingly to help. Just how heavy the tyre, without proper equipment, it's almost impossible to replace the tyre with the spare one which reside below the bus and require lots of manpower to handle the things. Desperately to finish the work as soon as for not to delay our arrival at PICC, we settling the mechanic parts around one hour later. Then we move again, tired and with dirty hand (including my cloth painted with grease).

At Temerloh RnR, we stop for repleneshing, breakfast, bath (those who get dirty with grease) and etc around half an hour. We moved again at 10:30AM. It's a long journey like never ending highway with our bus condition. Noise from the engine were make no difference with the radio turn on. I can't differentiate between songs and the engine sound. For those who are tired, the seat are very comfortable (is it?) to get rest and sleep. Actually no one can really sleep and comfortable with those kind of seat and noise. We can tell that all the passengers are college officer but still why denying our rights. Comfortable and safety is a priority and it should be. After all, we just pray hoping that our journey is safe. We do love our love out there.

We make it to PICC around 1:00PM and thankful it's a safe journey. It's not just that, we have to unloading all the stuff that we brought like a document, student tag, cloth etc, and all of this make 10 box. Answering either it's heavy or not are really irritating us. Rest still far from our rights because the rehearsal are set at 2:00PM. Before the rehearsal start, we need to prepare the registration counter and deal with the graduate students. As for me, I'm not from any part of the in charge officer. My presence is just a shaft bearer (aka cokmar). Cokmar is a shaft 1.5m long and a genuine wood forged with a steel. It has a KPM logos at his head. The weight of this shaft is more than 5kg. So, my responsibility is to practicing to be a bearer for the shaft. The costume are prepared by KPM Melaka, and they pass it to me right after we finish in setup the registration counter. Before I forgot, PICC is a nice place with a unique design and it serve well as an international place for any event such as conference. The lobby itself already make our eyes wide open expressing our naive. In such a place, we feel very small and very humble to witnessing God creation. The rehearsal was delayed because we are faced some technical problem. It start aroud 2:30PM.

I'm give up to write a full story of the MPC convocation at PICC tale. Enough if I just saying, everything are successful end even with a minor problem. I wish for another better journey for myself along with another BUS. Thanks for the experience.

Studying Tips

2008-10-31T15:49:00.003+08:00

The following tips have proven to be extremely powerful guides for organizing, thinking, studying, and learning in college. They represent the best advice of successful college students.

Study Space
Tip: Your study space should be as quiet and comfortable as possible. Avoid studying in noisy places such as cafeterias, recreation rooms, or lounges.
Tip: When studying, keep a waste basket handy.
Tip: Have a consistent place for everything, and above all, keep it there!
Tip: Have everything needed for study handy beforehand. Don't waste valuable time looking for books, notes, of other information. After you have assembled the items you need, put them where you can reach them easily.
Study Habits
Tip: Begin study no less than 30-90 minutes after a meal.
Tip: Never study within 30 minutes of going to sleep.
Tip: Prioritize! Make a list of what you intend to study, prioritize the list, and stick to it!
Tip: If possible, study no more than 30-40 minutes at a stretch. Many students retain more by studying for short periods with breaks in between. It all depends on what you're trying to study, but generally, after a period of study, take a break.
Tip: Take study breaks away from your desk or wherever you are studying. Let the break be a time to think about other things. Use some break time to reflect, not constantly review what you have just studied.
The Classroom
Tip: Distractions in the classroom are deadly. To help avoid distractions, sit near the front of the class. You're less likely to miss something important, and there are far less distractions at the front than any other location.
Tip: Think! Thinking is one of the most important things you can do in class. If you just sit there passively, and not think, class can be deadly. Think about what the teacher is saying BEFORE writing down anything. Writing down each word is a WASTE OF TIME. Reorganize in your mind what the teacher says, and then write it down. This way you will be connecting the teacher's words with HOW you think. If you do this, your notes will make a lot more sense later on.
Tip: Pay attention to the course outline or syllabus. Generally, important points and materials are referenced here and repeated. Don't be afraid to ask the teacher if there is something you don't understand. Most teachers will be glad to clarify for you.
Preparing for Class
Tip: Efficient students do not underline! Underlining is not a productive way to emphasize textbook material. It's best to use a highlighter.
Tip: Read the table of contents of your texts carefully. If the textbooks have chapter summaries, read them first! If you don't understand the material from the summaries, go back and highlight. Take notes on what you have highlighted and review your notes. Tip: Break study material into short segments of length dependent on its difficulty. Remember, concise notes are more powerful than copious notes. Think about the material! Then take notes on what you don't know or are not sure of.
Test Taking
Tip: For essay examinations, try the "memory dump" technique. If permitted, write down everything you've memorized - facts, names, dates, ideas, events, and so on BEFORE you do anything else. Sometimes reading through the essay questions can distract you from what you've studied. The "memory dump" technique requires that you write down everything possible BEFORE you begin writing essay answers. This way, you are less likely to forget something important.
A Final Word
The study skills presented here depend on one thing, and that is your willingness to WANT to improve and do well in school. If you really don't want to make the effort and sacrifice, no amount of suggestions, ideas, or outlines can help much. You are the one who is responsible for your education, and effective study skills can help you. To that end, one last word of advice -- work smart, not hard.

All the best.

Plagiarism

2008-08-28T09:25:00.007+08:00

If you use someone else's words or ideas without crediting them, you are committing a type of theft called plagiarism. Plagiarism can be as obvious as turning in another person's paper or project as your own, or as sly as simply paraphrasing sections of various works. It is also incorrect to copy text from Web pages or other sources and paste it into your paper without identifying the original author.

Reference is compulsory. I suggest for you to use more than one reference to support your idea. With only one reference, it might look you're doing plagiarism. With no reference at all also means the same thing which will resulting no marks given.
