Be grateful :)

Hi,everyone! I think I would be the last people who post the blog today.
This is already the 5th week I be in this UKM campus. For me, I think that the university life is really busy and tiring. Actually I am actively involved in many activities when I was in secondary school, but maybe my energy have been used extremely that time, so I feel less interest and energy to joint the activities in the university now. From the orientation week till yesterday, I felt down and even can't enjoy the life here, but since today I have made a commitment to put more effort and make my life here meaningful.

For the first lecture on contract law, I feel a bit lose too. When the Professor Madya Dr. Sakina begin her lesson with the problem solving, which simile to the cases, I feel panic, just the same feelings with some of the others. However, after I have attended to the English For Law(EFL) class, I feel much better than before. From the class, I get to know each others more and learned more about the technique to reading a English passage. Usually I need to long time to read a passage whether is in my own study or when the examination, so there are always not enough time to me to complete the questions. From the skimming skill which have been brought out in the EFL class, I manage to train myself to skim the text with the minimum time. Although I had scored a good bank in MUET, there are still a difficulty for me to speak fluently in English. Additional to that, I was seldom reading the English newspaper, so I feel really worry about it when our dear EFL lecturer, Pn.Sitha ask us to come out to share the current issue. Due to that, I hope that I can improve myself by reading the English newspaper. I feel really grateful to have the chance to learn more from the language classes.

On the other hand, the tutorial classes have started by this week. I had gone through the tutorial classes of contact law and constitutution law. For the first time, I think that the tutorial classes are really a challenging for me. I realised that there are a lots of preparation I need to do before the classes, if not, the situation will be worst for me. However, I am thankful with who I am now and what I going to become in the future, so I will try my best to honour myself and the others, and give glory to the God.

Thanks and all the best for you.

Facebook.

I had probably spent the most hours in library yesterday till this date. It was because there was a lecture in the morning at 10am until 12pm, continued with tutorial class at 2pm until 3pm and ended with English for Law class at 4pm until 6pm. During the intervals which I am free, well I think you would have guessed it; I spent in the library. Whenever you stepped into the library you can see that majority of the students that are using the computers would have Facebook on.

It hit me when I was on Facebook and a couple of my friends were updating their status. They were all anticipating positively to the closing of their institution due to the H1N1 virus. I must admit that at first I do feel happy if our institution is closed. I think I might have a different thought of it now. The thought of having H1N1 virus infecting our institution and having it closed for a week would mean that it is a serious case. I do not hope that students of UKM get infected nor do I want myself to get infected. This is because if the institution is closed, our mid semester break will be shorten and this virus in fact any other viruses are bad for our health.

I guess what I wanted to say is that people should not be happy when u get a holiday just because your institution is closed due to some virus. It’s actually something which we should be sadden about. So let's practice good hygiene and stay healthy to avoid getting infected and please cough or sneeze not to your friends' face but away from their face.

That’s all from me for now.

Much Love from Diyana.

Beware of Influenza

Hai...all EFL set 5 friends.
I just read an article about the influenza A(H1N1).As of yesterday,the total number of H1N1 cases stood at 1302 and 4 flu-related deaths have occurred. It's not a small figures.Why H1N1 keep on spreading in our country?Is it all Malaysian lack of awareness to the Influenza A? How can H1N1 be remedied? These questions were appeared in my mind.
H1N1 has become a deadly disease,but the public and even some doctors still lack of vigilance to the influenza.A delay in the victim seeking treatment or a failure by general practitioners and private hospital to detect the disease may causing more H1N1 cases to be spread. Besides,the public had the impression that influenza will not easily caused death and they could recovered from it if infected.For me,i am thinking this way too.This making that more cases occurred,more universities and national service camps closed for temporary,more students under home quarantine.
Although our government are trying hard to conduct more research and be prepared,as a good nation,we should always take more precautionary measures ourselves.I have some precautionary measures to share with my friends here to prevent us from infected H1N1 such as washing hand frequently,wearing masks to prevent transmission,and avoided yourself go to a place with crowded people such as
shopping mall.
Lastly, Those who have the flu-like symptoms,please seek for doctor immediately.To all FUU students,i think a lot of you will reading until midnight to prepare for the next day lecture.Anyway please take care of your health to prevent falls sick.Hope that H1N1 wouldn't spread into UKM.

my week in ukm...

hi everyone...i want to share about my week in ukm..this week was the busiest week for me because of all the classes,tutorial and college activity.I have to prepare for classes,tutorial question that i don't even how to answer..but i think i will get used to it because the most important is to be prepared before class which is by reading.I quite enjoyed contract law tutorial class for this week because of the mini moot format.before entering the class i was really nervous but after that it's feels kinda ok.Next thursday Mrs. Sitha want me to talk in front of the class and i'm so worried about that.Everytime i want to talk to someone whether its a boy or a girl or in front of many people i got scared.My hands starts to get cold,i got stomachache and my face will turn red.I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPEN.

right now i'm also very worried about this h1n1 thingy.So many university and school got infected and were closed and i'm really worried if that happen to ukm.I dont want to get infected and i'm really worried when a lot of people around me fell sick.My mom told me not to go to place with a lot of people because she said this thing spread like crazy right now.

well..i think my finger had enough exercise for now..thank you..

THEY are the TOTAL package. Why are they single??

Well, I have seen all the blogs here.I found that most are related to study. So, if everyone blogs the same damn study stuff, soon I will stop blogging again! Just kidding!! Wakaka... Therefore, I will blog something new, something about relationship which I believe is one of most important part in our life.Since most of the first year FUU students are single, so I want to ask you!!! You have the total package. Why are you single?

Sometimes you meet people who immediately engage you,espeacially now where I could see the guys and girls are getting to know each other. You have taken by their energy,their good looks,their kindness. They talk to you- not at you. They ask you question,are genuinely in finding out about you and of course you learn about them. They have a good looks,great personalities,have loads of friends,always are doing interesting things. But then you find out that they are single,and have been for a long time especially guys!!!!

This is when you hit the breaks. "If you're single, what chance do I have?" you might ask if you, too, are single. There are people out there who could qualify as being the "total package": great personality, good looks, successful. And when you find out they're single, you have to scratch your head. Sometimes they choose to be single, that their life is better when they're free to do whatever they want. But other times, they can't seem to make it click. Why is this?

I have a few friends—both nice and straight, male and female—who are in their mid- to late-20s and can't seem to make a relationship flourish. Some of them are totally OK with that, but others are depressed and really want to find a partner to share their life with. Why is it that there are people who are always in a relationship and they're possibly the most annoying people you encounter in your life? How is it that someone who grates on your nerves is able to get a boyfriend or girlfriend and the ones who are deemed a great catch continue to remain single?

So, what do you think? Are these people afraid to commit or are they just better off being single??

Time management By Hannah Teh Kiao Huoi

Hi, everyone!

I have been so suffer for the past few weeks. I think many of you should know what is the reason i said like this, right? This is because some of you also have the same problem with me, which is still cant cacth up the course.

For me, I think taking a law course is really challenging. This is because we have to memories a lots of cases and notes. After that, we have to apply all of these into a situation, which meant we need to have a very excellent analysis skill in order to answer the questions.

Beside that I think the main reason why we have this feeling because we failed to have a good time management. As you all know, wa have to join a lots of activities if we wish to stay at college for next years. Beside that, the commitee members of collage always told us that many activities are compulsory. As a result, we are busy to rush here and there to attend the activities, which might let us to gain the marks in SPKG.Many activities we have to attend such as, Pesta Tanglung, Biro Akademik, Ekslusif Club and so on. There is uncountable clubs in this university.

I think that many of us really busy during the weekdays to joining all these activities for the past few weeks and lose our way in our study, right? So, i think we should have a better time management if we want to catch up the study. Think rasionally, study is more important or SPKG is more important? I know that both also improtant but it is really hard for us to balance it. So, sometimes we need to scarifies some activities. ==!!

In conclusion, we should have a proper time management and be smart to choose the activities you want.

Gambatte Ne!

PS: Sorry for my broken English.. ==!!

ROAD TO SUCCESS

Hi everyone...

Day by day that I have been through in UKM, I thought I was just arrived yesterday, time moved very fast isn't it? I still remember the first day I reached here and headed to Kolej Pendeta Za'ba, my first thought is I will get the first class room since I paid the highest fee for it compared with other college. Well, once I entered my room I had to face the fact that my room is just like 'rumah kongsi' for Indonesian workers, this is such not worth it dude, do I have to stay here as long as I study here.

Days passed, I already get used to this environment. As we can see on the map of UKM, faculty of law is located quite far from other colleges and my college is the nearest but yet I still need to use the bus that make me burned under the sun while waiting for this creature. Since the bus does not go to my college, so every beautiful morning I have to walk from my college to the bus stop. It is quite tiring in the first time but as I don't have other choice, so it become my daily routine.

Who said studying law is suck and boring, to me it is maybe challenging at the first time but trust me all of you will find it exciting when you can improve your skiils in communications and arguments. Speaking of communication skills, it reminds me to the contract tutorial class last tuesday. It is such a fun when we could have a mini moot where all of us must acted as plaintiff, defendants and judges. I got a chance to pair with a cute chinese girl named Hannah. Luckily I already made a preparation for the case but sadly I forgot to practice to speak and the result is my language was like Cora that wanted to speak arabic. Speaking of her, honestly I admire her skill in communicating in English, so full of confident and attraction. I already consulted my problem with my mentor, Mr. Ramzan Zaman Din and he said that I should make a lot of practice to speak doesn't matter in English or Malay.

After all, I guessed I;ve changed since I was here. The first and very important change that I notice is I lost my body weight about 3kg. Then, I learned on how to manage myself and take care of my personality as a law student and future lawyer perharps. So, for the next 4 years I'm in the faculty of law, I hope that I will graduate not only as a law student but as a good person in every aspects of life.

lost at here......

hihi^^

When u guys saw my title above, i think you alls will roughly know what i want to share already. Yup, like most of them also, i lost myself in fuu. Already one month i study at fuu, ukm here, i found out that i still cant get into d right trains. Firstly, when in lecture, most of the subject that taught by the lecturer, i cant absorb it. I was sitting at there and stare to the lecturer with my mind which is blank. I was so blur with what they taught in front there. Cant understand it!! When the lecture point out question to all of us, i was so scare tat my name will be called up by them, because i sure cant answer the questions. Did'nt like the asasi students, can answer most of the questions.

During tutorial class, it will be worst. It seem like in debate. For me, who cant speak english fluently and timid, dont have the chance to speak also. I juz sat at one corner there n listen to them only. I don wan to be like that, i wan be brave oso, but the problem is, now i still blur with those subject, i don hv any points and ideas to say out oso. Felt stress when people around me can give out the good answers, i wonder why i cant be like them oso, dare to give out their own ideas.

One month flied so fast, still got another two more weeks then v will having our mid sem test. But now, it seem like i hvnt prepare for it at all, i still cant catch up d topic, and felt lost in all the acts and cases. Arrhhh, anybody there can help me?? i know, no one can help me, except myself. It is depends on me whether wan to continue walk at this tough n torturous 'road' onot, i choose to walk it, hope i won regret with wat i had chosen.

YASMIN AHMAD

July 1st, 1958 - July 25th, 2009

I heard about her going to the hospital during my debate training, but didn’t expect that she would pass the day after.. Was so shocked when JJ twittered telling people to give their opinions on how she had influenced them. I was like, “wait, she died?“. So yeah, she did. Poor thing. These past couple of months has been crazy. Some of the known figures on TV, movies and music passed away. Legends even. Sighhh…

BTW, while doing my research on her, I encountered this post. I reckon it’s true since those commenting didn’t have any negative comments in the post. But anyway, I was quite shocked. Quite, because for some reason this story sounds familiar. Her last post on her blog was 3 days before she died. Insane. And she replies her comments, how sweet is that?

Sighh…

She was the only director who made short advertisement for merdeka, that made me to either shed some tears or smile with joy :). Here's a treat for you. Here's to Yasmin Ahmad. Cheers.

So cute :). The boy's expression at the near end of the video was priceless.

BTW, a shoutout to my good friend Jasmine for being a sweetheart when I'm in need. Thanks gingg. I now owe you one biggggggg hugggggggggg :D.

I am not satisfied yet.

Hello everyone,

Today, it has been about a month we stuck in this education institution called Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Of course, it is not easy for each one of us to make ourselves comfortable here. But, i am strongly believe and hope that all of us especially the first year students in the Faculty of Law will be able to adapt the current challenging situation. I am also believe that all of us will achieve our own success here although we are coming from many different backgrounds.
Despite that, I am really hoping that other students who are not coming from the foundation programme to stop discriminate yourself. When we arrived at this stage, we are actually in the same level. What can I ensure is that all of us will succeed if we are trying our very best. So, to all, do not stop trying and the best situation will be when we are trying together as a team.

Forget about race, forget about any difference between us. I believe all religions will tell us to help each other for a greater good in the future. 1Malaysia will only succeed if we the younger generations apply it. If not, then it will bring nothing other than just a concept.

SEPARATION OF POWERS

As for now, I would like to share an information which we have discussed about it in our class. It is about the separation of powers. As we all know, the separation of powers can be divided into three which are the legislative, executive and judiciary.

Maybe in the class, I didn't manage to explain about it clearly. Because of that, I want to give a clarification to my words before. About the title? Do not take it seriously. I am just purposedly doing that in order to grab some intentions. Actually, what will I am going to say is quite important as it will also relate to our course which are Malaysian Legal System and Constitution. Therefore, I hope that all of you can read and understand about it.

Before, I did say that parliament may enact the law but the judiciary do not bound to follow it. Maybe it will give a controversial debate. But, my point is actually, the legislative may legislate the laws but the judiciary have the jurisdiction to tell whether the laws enacted is valid or not.

Based on Article 128 (1a) of the Federal Constitution ( herein after known as FC ):
The Federal Court shall, to the exclusion of any other court, have jurisdiction to determine in accordance with any rules of court regulating the exercise of such jurisdiction- any question whether a law made by Parliament or by the Legislature of a State is invalid on the ground that it makes provision with respect to a matter with respect to which Parliament or, as the case may be, the Legislature of the State has no power to make laws.

Therefore, on the surface, the Parliament itself cannot easily pass any laws as they prefer, there will a check and balance mechanism apply. Of course, in current situation, we can say that this check and balance mechanism do not really seen to be apply, but still based on the article above, it is clear that the judiciary also has the power to determine whether a law is invalid or not.

Article 127 of FC also lined up the sovereingty of the judiciary branch. Article 127 of FC stated that The conduct of a judge of te Federal Court, the Court of Appeal or a High Court shall not be discussed in either House of Parliament except on a substantive motion of which notice has been given by not less than one quarter of the total number of members of that House, and shall not be discussed in the Legislative Assembly of any State.

This article clearly shown to us that our judiciary branch can have its own stand towards some issue. They have the power and the only thing is that, it is depend to them whether to use the power given appropriately or not...

Hopefully, when we are apart of them, we will try to use the power given as good as we can...
Don't just critics but then we are no difference at all...we must believe in them and assume they have try their very best to promote justice through our legal system...Thank You Sir.

With that, I rest my case...Click.

4 Weeks in UKM

Time flies...
Already 4 weeks since I came to UKM. I still can imagine the first day I came here. I nearly cried out when my mummy waved goodbye to me...

After four weeks I struggled here, my longing for my mummy's comrades-in-arms became less. I started to have a lot of friends here. Althought I'm the only one come from Perlis, but I could fit myself well with my friends making me more cheerful because having friends around made me feels that I was not alone after all.

Thanks, my friends.

Cheers to all of you... ^^

Before this, I, too struggle like a drowning man trying to clutch on anything he could when I attended my every lecture. But now, I am able to suit myself quite well with the way the lecturers teach us. It is better for me to read before I attend any of the classes. It makes me have an early image about what my lecturer will teach. During the lecture hours, I understand more and the confusion during my study hours will be answered. I am getting used to the lecturers' teaching methods now.

Before this, I did regret why I chose this tough course when I filled in my UPU's choices. The first to third week, I was always thinking about changing my faculty to FEP. However, after I saw Johnson transfered from FEP to FUU in his second year, I respect him deep from my heart and I decided that I should not be beaten down by my feeble spirit. From that day on, I promised myself that I would continue on with my choice, no matter how hard it will be in the future because this is my choice. I chose it and I am responsible to carry it out now and finished it as I wished before this. I will be the only one who have to face it whether I want or not because this is my choice from the beginning till the ending.

4 weeks in UKM makes me or either can say as force me to grow from inside out. I become more independant than I was before. Mentally, I have stonger will than before. I will never let myself give up so easily in the future.

Gambateh!!!

Hello everyone..

After my first week in ukm i was trully "devastated" because i was not enjoying any of the privelages i had at home. I mean i have to walk everywhere, i've never been on a bus before, i was not eating healthy food, no entertainment, and ect.. basically this is my first to everything. I hated the life here and the fact that law is a hard course didnt make me feel any better.
But just last week i started to change my mind, i was learning to be independent in everything i do. Maybe i should try harder to apprieciate what i have here. After all i am in one of the best course in the best university.
Well this is what i've been reflecting on since i came here, so i could just as well share it with my friends. Im sure most of us would have felt the same way. Hopefully i could come up with something about our ESL the next time i post here. Till then good luck to all u guys and have a nice day.

"Satu Malaysia" ?

This is something I've been longing to blog about but never got around to lay down the cards. so i might take this chance to speak up what had been nesting inside me all these whiles. i do have a blog,it's just that i never bothered to work on it anymore, workload,well.

Segregation- the word I hate most. I have always wondered why we’re always separated/divided according to gender, skin colour, height, race, et cetera. I don’t see the significance of it especially the latter. And for a person who’s living in a country where a variety of ethnics exist, the word segregation disgust me even more. You know all these pep talks on “Satu Malaysia”- we’ve been working on it for ages! Well, you tell me: how do we accomplish that when each of us are not willing to break the tradition (more like breaking that mentality) where Chinese, Indian and Malays must not SHARE and mingle. And how do we even work together when your place of study practices segregation?

I mean really, do you go about with your “Dr.” title and only treat your own kind? Because it feels like we’ve been brainwashed to do so anyway which defeats the purpose of becoming a ‘lifesaver’ in the first place.

yours truly : intan sarah

Testing only :)

Seow hui here..nice to meet u all!
I just want to have a try 1st..this is my 1st time to write the blog also..hehe
Wish u all hv a wonderful day~

Entry 1:JUSt Be Yourself ( KHOO AI THENG)

I still remember that last week ,I had told Puan Sitha before I really felt regret to choose law. However, after having gone through many lectures, I think that I start falling in love with LAW! What have made me to feel in that way? On Tuesday , I have done my mini mooting for my contract law. Through that mini mooting, I have discovered that studying law is truly challenging ! It challenges you in two ways , that is physically and mentally! Physically, studying law needs a good stamina since we have read a pile of cases until midnight(2-3a.m) . Mentally, as a law student , we must always be sensitive to the latest news, perspective and creative! From that mooting, I also found out that my English command is moderate, I feel dissatisfy about it. I think I am going to work hard in the English for Law class. Maybe I should be more active in participating the activities in English for law class...However sometimes I really feel very tired especially on every Tuesdays because from 8 to 9a.m I have Contract tutorial class ,9 to 10 a.m I have Arab class, 10 to 12p.m I have English for law,12 p.m to 1 p.m I have Constitution tutorial class.. lastly 2 to 4 p.m have constitution kuliah... I want to say sorry to all professors,lecturers and my friends if I do not smile to you on this day because I too tired.. exhausted.. I lose all the energy .. I think I should be more tougher in this situation.

Last Sunday, I read an article about titled Abondened by Their Kids . I really feel pity for those old folk who have been abondened by kids. I still remember one case sounding like that “Chen, 74, recalls seeing a man whom he recognised as his son while he was in the hospital. He had happily thought that he was going to be taken home to his son’s house, only to watch helplessly as the man disappeared from sight “ . I really hate those people abandoned their parents! However, why none of the enacted law help to control the abandon cases? Even the Federal Constitution never mention about it! Parents sacrifice their time, money , energy to bring up their beloved flesh and blood but what have happened to their own in the end of their life time? Does law really can help those victims? Anyway , as I law student I will try my best to help those victims ! I promise myself , I won’t abandon my parents! I love them! I will try best to protect them ! I also hope god will bless them from any undesirable things! So, I have to be tough, do not give up easily when meet any obstacles! Moreover, I think I should be more hardworking ! I really love my parents especially my dad who have worked hard to bring me up since I am not come from a rich family… Daddy, mummy , I promise I will let you all live a comfortable life in the future… I do promise

Hi...Fwenz.

This is just a try....
I have never try it before...
Hopefully can learn something...

If you can read this then you'll help.

Here's the thing. You know the feeling where you're so so sleepy and that you just want to drool your way to la la land regardless of whatever things that you are doing?

I have that feeling now.

And it's getting to me like i just ate a bottle full of sleeping pills.

I'm too sleepy to even care about the layout of this blog. I know i can do so so so so much better but i can't do it tonight. All i ask from you guys is to treat this blog like a lab rat for a while and try to puke out any creativity or decorating talent that you guys have and play around with this blog. Experiment with it, i don't care. All i want is sleep now but i promise i'll make more effort tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or somewhere soon. Okok?

Btw anyone knows when is the deadline for this blogging thingy?

Cheers bebeh :)

HI EVERYBODY!!

My dear students,

Just thought that I'll give some points on reflecting, share my ideas, or should I say, wisdom....

As I mentioned in class, a relective e-journal is basically to record the progress of your learning. It is NOT a summary of the course material. Focus more on your reactions to what you've read or learnt, either in the EFL class or in your content classes/lectures or even PBL (when it begins). It is a personal record of your learning experiences. It is a space where you can record and reflect upon your observations and responses to situations, which can be used later to explore and analyse ways of thinking.

What can you include in your reflections??

a. points you found especially interesing in your reading, and would like to follow up in more detail

b. questions that came up in your mind, because of points made in material you read on this topic or some points your lecturer brought up

c. your reflections on this course(EFL) and how well it is meeting your needs.

d. how your learning in this course is related to what you're learning in other ways

e. thoughts that arent fully formed yet, but that you want to refine later. This could include your feelings about this course and your progress in iT.

Each time you submit your entries, think back over everything you've done since the last time.

MARKING

You won't lose marks for poor spelling or language(unless your spelling is at elementary level and your language is so poor that I can't make any sense of what you're trying to say).

You will get good marks by showing that you've been reading widely, and raising issues that flow from that reading, and by making it clear that you have been thinking a lot about these issues.

OK, that's all from me.
Happy reflecting and blogging!! :)

Regards, Pn Sitha
