Hello everyone! Its me Janice!
Amazing amazing amazing race. This is the 7th week I've been in the faculty of law of UKM where i think the time fly in a blink of an eye. I am in the opinion that i have to “compete” with the time everyday where if i can finish my works that i ought to do, I'll be the winner and vice-versa. Last week was the toughest time i have ever experience where I stay awake the night to do revision, flip the books, read and memorize the cases and etc as a preparation for the mid term test. I was fatigue, exhausted and the 'fuel' in me has run to empty. These all happened because;(1)Maybe I am not used to the teaching method in the university where notes are not provided, textbook are not specific (wide range of textbook can be used as reference) (2) Was too pampered during the school time where the teachers will always come to me and ask about me.
Having stayed in the university for 7 week, i haven't really adapt the culture in the university. Now, something is overwhelming me. We (the group of the arab class member) are so worry that we cannot catch up with other group of arab class member because our Arabic teacher always absent as he says that he got health problem. Maybe its due to H1N1 I guess.. we have actually just attended few classes where we haven’t finish learning the basic skills compare to the other group, they have started to do a project.
Next, i would like to tell about the class that i love most. Its English for law class. This is because its the only class where good memory is a not required here. Learning English is a skill and as we already have the basic of English, we learn it just to sharpen our English. I think EFL class is the less burden class to attend. Furthermore, we can express our feeling through this blog(happiness, sadness, satisfaction and etc)

REFLECTION by hannah Teh Kiao Huoi
Now, 28 August 2009 and the time is 22.51pm. Oh, my god! I nearly forget to write this blog because too enjoy to stay in my hometown. Haha..XD. Luckily, I can post it on time. This is my second time to write in this blog.
Reflection?? What I need to reflect through this few week lecture and tutorial? I am so wonder. In my opinion, having a poor english language will be the problem to the students who study law. This is because lecturer will teach us by using Bahasa Melayu but they will talk in english during tutorial. So, if u do not good in english then you will very suffering during tutorial if you just study the reference books which are all in Bahasa Melayu.
Beside having the problem in study, some people also will look down to you! This is what had happend to me. Sob.. they will critic your language just in front of you and other friends as well. Are they get BAND 6 in Malaysia English University Test? or they are too expert and fluent in english? No matter how, they should respect!!
okay, let's talk about constitution lecture and tutorial. We are not allow to said :" apparently, basically, in my opinion, and i think.." during the discussion. This is because all these words showed that it is our opinions and we are not confirm with what we have said. The lecturer need the fact and a confirm answer.Consequently, we are advise not to said all these words during constitution tutorial. So, Diyana do not simply speak out all these words ya.. wakaka..
Lastly, in Malaysia Legal System tutorial, we are given the question a couple days before the tutorial class. We need to plan where want to perform the answer in what ways, whether through acting or singin. So, beside finding the answer, we have to blended our brain to find a creative ways to perform our answer. It is a very interesting tutorial.

2nd Entry
Time gone fast, the coming week will be the 9th week we study at UKM. The life here was really busy. Everyday need to chase the time and rushing for the homeworks, assignments, preparation for lecture, college activities and so on, made me feel tired and stressed too. Besides that, we are having test for all the three law subjects in week 6. During the week, there are really no enough time to sleep and I almost fall sick that time, but fortunately the test already over, what I have to worry is about my terrible result of the test. The week 6 test was the first test we have in faculty of law UKM, whereby I still in the situation to adapt myself to the environment here, but the test is coming. Actually I am a 'last minute' student, I will just study when the examination is nearby, but it seen to have the needed to change it, like what Professor Madya Dr. Sakina had told us last week, we cannot 'alive' in this faculty of law if we continue act as a last minute student. Therefore, more effort need to be putting on, and hopefully I can make it!
About the constitutional law, especially the tutorial class, sometime I feel lost. During the tutorial class, we all have to talk, but sometime really nothing to say because lack of time so I didn't prepared well. Every week I need to feel stress to attend those tutorial class. Haiz... But there is a guy in our class, he always have many opinion and talk much more than others, sometime I hope to become like him also, can have many points to voice out. Now, I am still searching for a book named "document of destiny". I already went to many book stores of different places, but still cannot get it. I have take a look of it, it is good, and most of us use it as main reference for constitutional law, therefore, I wish to buy it too. Some of them photocopy it, but I wish to get the original set seems it is not very expensive. I become a bit worry because till now I still didn't have a good reference book for constitutional law, hope to get it soon. Kindly contact me if anyone of you found it! Haha..Gambateh yo:)

well this is my second post and currently we are in the 8th week of classes. I have grew acustomed with the life of a law student in UKM. The friends that i have made really make me feel comforatable and made my transition easier here in bangi. a few weeks ago we sat through our midterms and back then everyone was busy studying but now its a different story because the next task in our hand is the preparation of our Problem Base Learning(PBL) assignmnets which is due at the end of the semester. i think this is really a good hands on experience because now i can get the simulation of what future lawyers are bound to encounter in the future. At this current stage most of my friends are away back to their hometown to celebrate their independence day with their loved ones but sadly not me because inorder for me to go back home i would have to cross the south china sea so for that i have managed to occupy myself with a youth camp which will be held at PD during this weekend. i think it'll be loads of fun because i'm spending my time with my fellow mates from borneo. Now is the first week of fasting month and its kinda tough because our cafeteria has ceased operation which makes it hard to find food to fill my grumbling tummy but i'm not here to complain because i understand the situation at hand and i respect the muslims students for being able to fast one whole day without food and water. i've personally tried it and i failed at it so for that i really admire the determination of all the muslim students here. i would also like to take this opportunity to wish all the malay happy fasting and as well to everyone happy independence day. so far thats all from me as i have yet to pack my bags for the PD trip. have a great weekend everybody. bye =D

Contempt of court?
Since Pn Sitha has asked us to reflect on what we have learned, I have decided to reflect on the constitution. Recently, I am learning about contempt of court in constitution class.
This topic has raised so many questions that go unanswered until today. This is because there’s silent law on contempt of court in Malaysia. There’s suggestion that we should be having a more specific act on contempt of court in Malaysia like in United Kingdom where they have Contempt of Court Act 1981. However there’s still no specific act that touch on contempt of court in Malaysia until today.
Article 126 of the Federal Constitution only states about the power to punish for contempt-“The Federal Court, the Court of Appeal, or a High Court shall have the power to punish any contempt of itself.” However,there is no comprehensive stipulation anywhere of what is conduct amounting to contempt of court.
Based on previous case which is Lim Kit Siang v Dato Seri Mahathir Mohamad. This case is briefly about the statement made by our ex Prime Minister which can be considered as a contempt of court because he criticised the court for interpreting the law against the Parliament’s intention. However, the Supreme Council held that the statement made by the Prime Minister is not contempt of court. It’s said that in this case, the statement made by the Prime Minister is a fair criticism. Again, we have no right to question how the court made the decision and how the criticism made is considered fair.
Therefore, I would conclude that if the Legislative is not going to enact specific laws on contempt of court, then many people will continue to question on this topic even in years to come. Besides,this uncertainty in the use of contempt power can seriously affect the due representation of the rights of the litigants in court and thereby affect the administration of justice itself. I only can hope that the government is going to do something about this.
Ok I think that’s all for now.

new life recently...
assalamualaikum and hola to all.....
First and for most, i would like to apologise to all especially to Madam Sitha because of the late of submition of my first post due to a few technical problems that occur.....
I hope my post would be a pleasure for all of u....
My life recently, be in this such prestige university in Malaysia, UKM, give me thousands of dreams and hopes to be a better person in future. This university and this course is my first choice to continue my study for my degree and thank Godness that it become a reality.
At first,before entering this university,i nearly lost my hope to get along in this law field due to some reasons that broke me down. But slowly i can see the light of truth that this is actually my destiny. All that i have to do is work hard to achieve the best for me. In this such a professional field, we must work for it. Although at first i feel like i have been forced to study in here but it is actually my responsibility and i have to fulfill it. I have to read all the cases related to my subject, make a research, read all the elements of contract, skimming and scanning, and so on. But one thing that make me become stronger to undergo all the tasks is when i always think about my parents and their hopes to send me here. And i always remember what my lecturer had told me before that, learning the law is not an easy process. But just belive that when u know the law you will know the world. Lastly, i would like to thanks to all my lecturers and to all my friends because their support and guide for me to overcome all the problems that i have to face in order to fulfill this course and this field of study. I hope that we all will achieve our dreams in future.
Just believe to God, He will always be with us........

hectic..tiring life..entry 2
it has almost been two month since i've become a law student here in ukm..up till now the only thing i can say,just like the title,hectic..tiring life..so many things to prepare,to read,to memorize and to understand..for example,our test week..for me that week was the craziest..i have to prepare for the test..reading and memorizing like crazy..and still have do to my tutorial question and preparation for classes..my schedule was full from monday to friday..and to make thing worse,i have to attend "latihan simulasi" for my khidmat masyarakat class from friday to sunday..already mentally tired,i have to stay for 3 days in hutan pendidikan alam,sleeping on cold,hard floor,taking a shower in men's toilet,waking up early in the morning and sleep very late at night,and also preparing for the presentation and "boria"..and this week not only i'm busy with classes and tutorial,but also with assignment that we need to submit next week..not only that,as the secretary for information bureau in my college,i have to collect all personal information of all the female resident in Kolej Ibrahim Yaakub..
tiring..but worth it..i learn a lot of new stuff in each of my classes..for example..before our test,our lecturers gave us special briefing about the format of answering questions in test or examination..they show us the best way to answer the essay questions,about how to do the introduction,the hierarchy of authority when writing down our answer and also how to organise our answer,so that it would be easier for the lecturers to mark our paper..the information is very useful to me because before that,i'm completely clueless..
ramadhan already here..this is the first time in my entire life fasting alone without my family..i can feel the LONELINESS especially on the first day when my mother called and i found out all my family members,my uncle and my aunt was at my grandmother house to break their fast together..sad..but it teach me to become more independent in life..
ok..i've already pour out everything in my mind and my fingers are tired from all this typing..so,that's all for now..

RAMADAN COMES AGAIN ( 2nd entry )
Ramadan is a time of reflecting and worshipping God. Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to avoid obscene and irreligious sights and sounds. Sexual thoughts and activities during fasting hours are also forbidden. Purity of both thoughts and actions is important. The fast is intended to be an exacting act of deep personal worship in which Muslims seek a raised awareness of closeness to God.
The elderly, the chronically ill, and the mentally ill are exempt from fasting, although the first two groups must endeavor to feed the poor in place of their missed fasting. Also exempt are pregnant women, women during the period of their menstruation, and women nursing their newborns. A difference of opinion exists among Islamic scholars as to whether this last group must make up the days they miss at a later date, or feed poor people as a recompense for days missed. While fasting is not considered compulsory in childhood, many children endeavor to complete as many fasts as possible as practice for later life. Lastly, those traveling are exempt, but must make up the days they miss. More specifically, Twelver Shi‘ah define those who travel more than 14 miles in a day as exempt. The elderly or those who suffer from a disability or disease and have no prospect of getting better in the future can pay the cost of Iftar for a person who cannot afford it, or else they can host him in their house and have him eat with them after sunset as a way of repaying for the days they could not fast. In such an instance, one should spit out the food being eaten or cease the forbidden activity, immediately upon remembering the fast. This can usually happen in the first or early days of Ramadan because that person might have not yet been acclimated into fasting from dawn till dusk.
When Ramadan came to overshadow Ashura in importance, it took on some characteristics of the latter. According to a well-known hadith, the person who observes Ramadan properly will have all their past sins forgiven. According to another, "When Ramadan arrives, Heaven's gates are opened, Hell's gates are closed, and the demons are chained up" and who ever passes away will enter paradise.

THE YELL OF THE SOUND FROM MY BOTTOM OF THE HEART FOLLOWED WITH PERMATANG PASIR BY-ELECTION
Yesterday night, i have sat enthusiasticly in front of my laptop to follow up the lastest news about the permatang pasir by-election.As what i have expected and maybe more suitable to say as what i desire Pan-Islamic Party(PAS) had successfully retain the permatang pasir state seat by a majority of 4551 votes,at which PAS's candidate Mohd.Salleh Man ,who is the noble ustaz defeated the Barisan Nasional((BN)'s condidate,Rohaizat,the revoked civil lawyer,by obtained 9618 votes against 5067 votes which were casted to BN's candidate.Frankly, i am gratified by the said polling's result.For me,the result not merely light up permatang pasir's residents hope but also Pakatan Rakyat's sympathizer.The result definetely for sure will be the catalyst to the reign government to revolute their so called policies which are advocated by them that the constructuion are based on citizen's good.(i think so).In fact, i dont't think it is a pleasure situation that one party or coalition reign the country for a too long period,however,it is a different story should the reign government is able to manage the country well.But the problems emerge following the almost 52 years reign period by the same coalition are countless such as money political, inefficiency in government agency, and so on..
By the way,i'm really irritated by some of the comments about the said by-election that i viewed on my friend'facebook which is joined by many reign government' political subordinates, i dont think they are commenting the situation rationally instead it seems they are more leaning to say somethings sarcastics..It is really a rubbish talk..what a dude..it is really a bellyful comments.They keep asking and blaming permatang pasir'residents why cast the ballot to out-party,and questioning them whether they realized with PR's defeats or not?eventhough what they should do is meditating the cause that have pushed to the lost in the said by-election.
i fell very sad and despair once i read the said comments,i feel wanna to yell ..what else you all expect to get from us, with the precondition that we are not treatened in the way which we should deserve to have.what else ??what else you all want??we have tolerate enough with some of the policies ,we accept it due to the respect to the government..we believe in that the government sure will brings us some desireable changes ..we are waiting for the changes from past and even untill now we are still waiting,..but it always ended with frustations ..we,whose as citizens of the country have done ours part in order to create a harmonious circumstance..at the meantime,i'm really do not understand why there is still racial issue aroused by ours leaders?.why there is still an insurmountable gap between us..?even we have live together in the same land about half of a century..? why we still have to be distinguished by the barrier of ethnic?It is obvious that we are still the diferrent entity,not the entity that have been blended with each other...
what political tsunami that occured during election in 2007 denotes?what is the underlying meaning following the political tsunami?? did you all realise about that.? it implies that the previous policies have obsoleted, it is the time now to change..we should have the same and equal chance on all aspects..
What actually make my heart paining is that while we are trying very hard to attain the 'one malaysia' concept ,why there is still irresponsible comments pop out..?what we want just a harmonious and peaceful living place,can we attain it together..?i hope sincerely that we can do it together..
In my view,i do opined that education policy is the most fundamental thing to be amended..everyone should deserve the same chance.. .I feel sympathy to those striving students whose are not rewarded by what they deserving.? a student' future not only refer to her/his own future only,it even imply his family future and also his motherland's future.Have you realised that.?This issue have recalled my memory -my cousin whose is excellent and distinct in both academic and extra-curricular,she was the top 5 students in my state based on her spm result during 1995 or 1996 ..i'm sorry that i forget the accurate year but it was happened around that period.She had failed to get any government-based scholarships,she was so sad that her tearing face is still fresh and vivid in my heart,everytime i recall it,i can fell my heart being sticked by countless needles,it is pain...finally,she went for STPM which was the last resort for her,she was striving hard and as a reward to her effort she obtained CGPA of 4.00.distinction in extra-curricular and one more time again she was overlook by government..Luckily, her prowess finally meet with the Singapore government whose is appreciating so much with her achievements,agreed to sponsor her studies at U.K. im really wondering why there is so much differ in response between the two governments on treating the such distinct student..?
I just intend to channel out my feeling through the writing,i didnt intend to criticise anyones and i apologize for any inapproriate words used that maybe have make anyones feels uncomfortable with it...

...........
Basically everyone is sort of more of less stabilized here already after one month plus..Everyone has their own group of friends .... and this makes life even wonderful...I know Yah Jee is really happy because of her birthday celebration especially since she keep posting the same shoutout at the msn saying she truly appreciates her friends..
I do agree with Afiq totally..with all the activities around for juniors,I wonder where is the time to study... people tell me time management is all that matters and this can really determine our success here but I still could not manage my time well..Usually after every activity,I feel so tired and end up sleeping until the next day...
Besides, the one who is in the same tutorial with me for constitution can really feel that constitution class is really killling us because of many reasons which I can' tell here... If not, the lecturer will come after me.. haha... So, I understand what Diyana feels...
Life can get real busy here with all the college activities and also assignments to hand in..How I really hate this kind of life but I know I have to accept this kind of lifestyle now that I am going to be in UKM for next few years.
So that's all for now..n I just post this comment for fun since that I've read everyone's post... and hey comment la wei...it's gonna be fun other than just post your blog then forget all about it...hahahaha....

time for a change?
Recently i have been thinking about the interference of the executive in the judicial system in Malaysia. Firstly it can be clearly seen in the appiontment and the removal of judges.
According to Article 122B of the Federal Constitution, judges hall be appointed by the Yang DiPertuan Agong, acting on the advice of the Prime Minister after consulting the Conference of Rulers. As for the removal of a judge, the procedure is given in Article 125(3) and 125(5) of the Federal Constitution. Here we can see the interference of the Excecutive, in the form of the Prime Minister.
Now, what has been bothering me is, why is the Prime Minister included in the appointment and removal of a judge? Malaysia is exercising the concept of separation of power, which means there should not be any interference of power of one body or another. Whereas in this case, it's very clear that the executive is interfering in the judicial system.
Also the judicial power have been eroded, via Article 121 of the Federal Constitution after the 1988 judicial crisis, which involved the executive. While im not going against what's written in the Federal Constitution, i do feel that the executive have had it all their way and the judiciary have been on the loing side.
Well it's not in my rights to question the constitution, but im merely stating my disappointments of what has happened to the judicial power in malaysia. Though, i do hope there will be changes in time to come in order to restore the power of the judicial system in Malaysia.

U's life
In University's life fun? Is University's life enjoyable? These questions I think different people would have different answers.Before I was entered into University. I was imagined that going to University would have a stressful life. I am afraid to go and facing stressful life.The problems i was thinking are these.First,I have to adapt myself with a totally new environment.Second,I have to build up the new friendship with the "strangers" here.It is because there is none of closes' friend accompany me come to this new environment.According to my seniors,we would be very stress especially in law faculty that i am studying now.This making me afraid to go and face the "stressful university life" that i imagined.Plus that I am not a independent person.
After coming to this environment, I found that the University's life that I imagined were matched with the reality that I facing now, but the different is the University's life is not as dull as I thought before.Joining activities are the most important part in University.University's life is becoming colorful and fun when i am actively joining activities. I am a committee member of the Lantern Festival,becoming a committee member of this event has train me to become more responsible and independent.The tasks that given to me, no matter how hard it is, I am obliged to solve it in order to make the event a successful. Therefore, this making me to become more responsible.
Beside, friendship is a very important chapter in my University Life.In my point of view,I think that one will not be able to survive if without friendship in University.When I first come to this new environment,everything,everyone were strange for me, alone was the only feeling that i had,but after mingled around with the new friends, the feeling of loneliness were escaped from me.Since that interacting and socializing would make a person feel happy and become optimistic,this was proven by the scientist.Friends are used to share the happiness and the sadness that I have. Therefore, I strongly believe that the importance of friendship.
So far this is the University's life that I tasted now and I feel that it is fun and enjoyable although sometimes will be stress,but just go and find some effective ways to release my stress,then everything would be alright.

Entry 2:Oppressive laws restricting human liberties, freedom and justice
Since the first day of our independence, our Federal Constitution has been regarded as the as the highest law in our country.
As such, should any conficts or misinterpretation arise in defining and implementing other sets of legislations and laws in our country, the Federaal Constitution should therefore be referred to as the final tool in order to determine if those sets of legislations and laws go by the relevant articles of the Federal Constitution.
Unfortunately, our Federal Constitution which we thought will be abled to protect us has been undermined by these sets laws and legislations. These sets of laws and legislations have all the time overruled the Federal Constitution in a lot of matters concerning human liberty, freedom, justice as well.
We are deeply concerned that our highest instrumental of law would be sidelined very soon, as our nation is seeing its way to become a police and fasist state.If that is the case, the Federal Constitution is on its way out to suspension. Unless it differs, the Federal Constitution of our country today will become redundant and useless, merely as a symbol or perhaps swallowed by time.
Lets us review some of the articles of the Federal Constitution which are deemed oppresive and limiting human liberties and freedom.
Article 5 of the Federal Constitution confirms the liberty of any persons was restricted and oppressed by the Internal Security Act (ISA) 1960, Restricted Residence Enactment (Cap39; Sec 117 Criminal Procedure Code Cap 6).
Article 10(1)(a) which guarantees our Freedom of Speech and Expression is being overly restricted by Sedition Act 1948 (including amendments 1971), Official Secrets Act 1972 (including amendents 1972), Printing Presses and Publishing Act 1948 (including amendments 1988) and Control of Imported PublicationsAct 1959.
Article 10(1)(b) which guarantees our Freedom of Peaceful Assembly is being bound by Public Order (Preservation) Ordinance 1958 and the Police Act 1967 (including amendments 1988).
Article 10(1)(c) which states Freedom of Assosiation and our rights to Industrial Actions including strike is effectively being prevented by Essential (Prohibition of Strikes and Prescribed Industrial Action) Regulations 1965 and Industrial Relations Act 1967 (including amendments 1971 and 1975 respectively).
Article 121 which described the Pinciple of Judicial Review was harshly overruled and amended in 1988, followed by another amendment to the ISA in 1988, followed by another major revamp in 1989.
It is very clear fact that BN-Umno federal government uses these draconian legislations and laws to curb and restrict the liberty and freedom of our people and at the same time restrict the rising influence of the newly emerging opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat under the pretext of "National Security", according to them.
Such harsh legislation and laws has also instilled a culture of fear and worry among our people to such extent that they even living under a stressful condition similar to an authoritarian police, fasist state or military rule.
As the result, most of us are too afraid to voice out our protest or express freely our opinions and thoughts. Most of us are also afraid of debating current issues and matters concerning the well-being our beloved nation and the way it is being run with.
So, does our Federal Constitution protect our people effectively and how powerful is our country's highest instrumental of law in standing against all these draconian legislation and laws?

Hard work or Hardwork-ing ?????
We just finished our mid sem test last week.
I felt so stress up during the week. Besides doing my revision, I still have to brain storm about the Pesta Kuih Bulan's leaflet and my assignments. I really wished that I had the power or magic to seperate myself into so many ' me ' and all of ' me ' could do all the work without the time collide with one another.
Maybe because I'm too slow in suiting myself in a new situation. This makes me still struggling for my life and my study in univesity. I need to press myself more to achieve what others can achieve in just a few minutes. It's a hard work for me. But, I'll look at it positively and accept everything around me with an open mind. However, sometimes I really want to rest. I do not want all the hard work or become hardworking instead I just want to lay there and do nothing at all. But, I know that this kind of thing is impossoble to happen. I still have many to catch up in my study. This means no rest for me.
The time flies. It's already week seventh for our kuliah and we only have 7 weeks more to final exam. I really worry about my condition. However, I'll try my best to do the best I can in the final exam.
I realise that if I don't want hard work in the future, I will have to be hardworking from now on. I will not let myself or my parents down. I'll push myself to the very limit I can. Like Esther comment on me in my previous entry, I will Gambateh!!!!!!
Gambateh!!!
Nowadays, I just heard everyone was talking about the serious disease that had taken over 40 lifes in Malaysia ( i.e. H1N1 ). People were talking about it and started to spread news about UKM was closing down because of the influenza which was the ' killer ' for 3 students from Kolej Keris Mas who died this recent. Therefore, as soon as the UKM convo reached its final day, there had been a huge rumor regarding UKM would be closed down on the next day. Everyone would be quarantine inside this university and no one would be allowed to get out from this university. Some said that the time of the quarantine started at 5.30 a.m. the next day after the convo. All students were given 2 hours until 7.30 a.m. to leave this university or else they would be quarantine inside this university. It had been a big joke as the next day, we all still going through our life as usual and the university was not closed down.
Since the government had announced that the H1N1 virus had evolved into H2N3, everyone had started to exaggerate the danger of H1N1 virus. Today, i went to the International Overseas Bookfair at KLCC. I saw most of the people were wearing mask to protect themselves from the virus of the influenza. If there was a person who cough, everyone's eyes would look at him with curiosity with the same question in their mind : whether he had been infected by the H1N1 virus? Everyone would treat him like an alien and started to avoid staying around him. I think that that is too much... Yes, of course prevention is better than cure. I totally agree that we should wear mask when we want to go out to the public. It would be better for us to make the prevention before we were infected. However, I did not agree at all with the gaze of the people, treating all the coughing people as if they were H1N1's patience. This is too over....
In the nut shell, prevention is better than cure. We should take prevention steps before we were infected. Hope nobody in class is infected. May good health be with you...

today i had read up a latest news about Teoh Beng Hock case, the guys that fall down from the BPR's building.
This incident happened until now was almost past for 3 week already, but it still cant be solved out by them about the death of teoh beng hock. No one cant give out the reason how come a man without commit suicide sign will jump down from the BPR's building. everyone were curious about the fact that lead to the death of teoh beng hock. according to the article that i read today, Transperancy International Malaysia (TI-M) had called out the police and the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission(MACC) to carry out prompt, thorough and unbiased investigation through the letter which sufaced on wednesday during the inquest to the death of teoh beng hock. Both this two parties were need to uncover the truth and bring any wrongdoers to book. They shouldnt cover any peoples and bring out the truth of teoh beng hock death to us. in my opinion, i think that they should work more efficiently as this case already happend for so long but still havent find out the truth yet. i dont know whether is they not willing to investigate it or they are trying to cover something behind there. Who know??

Entry 2 : JUst be tough!
Time passed very fast. Sometime I feel very tired..The following weeks we are going to have our problem based learning(PBL). Actually what is the PBL about? PBL is basically about using our knowledge to solve problem . It is a group task which require the cooperation from all the group members to solve the problems. Now everyone is busy to do research and find relevant authority to support our statement in the PBL questions. However, from this PBL I have learned a lot of things. I learn to be more cooperative . I remember that last time I like to do individual task than group task because for me individual task is easy in the sense that I can do whatever I like to do. Now, through group task I learn sharing , sharing what I have done on the research . Maybe the phrase "sharing is caring" is true. When sharing the informative I get, I feel happy and satisfaction ! This is the feeling we can't feel in individual task. Through PBL , I also learn how to communicate with the others in the proper manner and even some soft skill. I think these values we cannot learn simply from the text book . I do appreciate .
Anyway, recently I also studied an article about” when non-Muslim parents convert to Islam, the religion of their kids will remain in the same religion in which the marriage was solemnised. Such a statement contradicts the Federal Constitution, religious positions and causes confusion. Cabinet minister announced that the religion of minors from non-Muslim parents, upon the conversion of any of the parents to Islam, remains in the religion under which the marriage was solemnised. Such a statement contradicts the Federal Constitution and some religious positions. It worsens the confusion among the people and draws criticisms from both Muslims and non-Muslims. In Islam, if a child was born from Muslim parents, jurists unanimously agreed that he or she is a Muslim . Same situation here that if a child for a Muslim father and non Muslim mother , the child is a Muslim.The question arise in the case “What is the status of a child’s religion if both parents renounce Islam and become apostates ?” All jurists maintain the child as muslim. the religious status of children from non-Muslim parents. The earlier basic principle that children follow the religion of parents applies here. If a child is born from a non-Muslim parent, he or she is not a Muslim. Similarly, if a child is born from apostate parents, he or she is considered an unbeliever.The religious status of children appears most problematic when parent converts to Islam, especially if only one party does so. Generally speaking, if both father and mother embrace Islam, their children become Muslim as well.If only one parent embrace Islam, their underage child becomes Muslim too. Between the two parents, the position of the one who embraces Islam is ‘stronger’ compared to the non-converting spouse. Therefore, a child follows the religion of the ‘stronger’ party. That mean in such situation , it has contrasted with the article 5 of Federal Constitution mentioned that freedom of religious. However, in my opinion that when a marriage breaks down due to conversion to Islam, the best solution must be sought from the religion under which the marriage was solemnised or the law under which the marriage was registered. All disputes pertaining to property, custody of minors and other ancillary rights must be resolved under that religious or legal system.Nevertheless, all religion always lead their followers towards a good and bright path. After all, if we really believe in the omnipotence or omniscience of God, none should worry as to where one would end up in the next life. We should not quarrel about the religion things, since all the religion lead their followers toward the right path. I think I should be more appreciate and grateful when I have been given the chance to come to this wonderful world. Thank to my parents. Although now I have to leave home for a period of time, I will always remember to appreciate what my parents have given and provided to me. Why people like disputes? quarrel? We should be more grateful. I love peace. No argument . Maybe I should try my best to involve in more world peace lover activities. We are human, why must hurt each others? Just because of the different in skin colour? Religions? the place we have been born? .....

Amazing Race! (entry 2)
Hello everyone! Its me Janice!
Amazing amazing amazing race. This is the 7th week I've been in the faculty of law of UKM where i think the time fly in a blink of an eye. I am in the opinion that i have to “compete” with the time everyday where if i can finish my works that i ought to do, I'll be the winner and vice-versa. Last week was the toughest time i have ever experience where I stay awake the night to do revision, flip the books, read and memorize the cases and etc as a preparation for the mid term test. I was fatigue, exhausted and the 'fuel' in me has run to empty. These all happened because;(1)Maybe I am not used to the teaching method in the university where notes are not provided, textbook are not specific (wide range of textbook can be used as reference) (2) Was too pampered during the school time where the teachers will always come to me and ask about me.
Having stayed in the university for 7 week, i haven't really adapt the culture in the university.

Struggles
It's practically about a month already I am in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM). For the first semester, I am going to learn about Malaysia Legal System, contract law and constitution. During the first week,I really feel so stress because I cannot understand the lecture at all!! This is the first time I go to class and don't understand the lesson being taught at all. Indeed,this is a new experience for me. Besides, our first lesson is contract law where the lecturer who is Profesor Madya Dr Sakina begins her lecture with cases for us to solve. I guess I still have that secondary school mentality where teacher must begin with introduction to a lesson before moving further on. So,needless to say, I am totally lost during my first lesson for contract law. I could still recall how some of my friends really want to give up on law after the first class. Well,it's easy to give up but we have never think from another perspective where it's not easy to gain a place in UKM and be a law student. Therefore, though I am totally lost during my first lesson, I am comforted during the English for Law class. At least some of my friends share the same feeling as I do, therefore I need not worry so much! However I know that I need to improve on myself whereby I have to read before I go to class so that I will not be totally lost in my own world during the class! Well,as a freshie, I learn to take one thing at a time as I believe that I am going to be able to adapt myself to the situation here soon.
For university level, there is no spoonfeeding anymore! If you think that you cannot cope with the subject, then you got to take the first step to approach the lecturer or senior to ask for help. Now I understand why people always mention that we have total freedom in university. This is because if you choose to be passive in class or lazy to do your assignments,there'll be no one who will scold you or nag at you to study! Well,this freedom given has it's own pros and cons. Of course as youngsters,no one likes to be nagged all the time but when no one reminds me of my duty as a student in the university,I tend to forget my duty as a student here sometimes and enjoy life with friends instead.
If you ask me a few weeks earlier,I will tell you that I really hate contract law because I feel it's so confusing and lecturer is going too fast while we have so much things to read. However,after yesterday's tutorial class, I practically start to fall in love with contract law. We were given the chance to be the plaintiff, defendant and also judge. Guess what? I was given the role to act as the judge and was able to hear 3 arguments from 1 plaintiff and 2 defendants. Then,I judged them. Of course I was feeling so excited yesterday. Nevertheless, I learn lots of things from the tutorial class yesterday. No wonder me and my friends struggle to solve the cases given to us because we have never ever think as a lawyer whereby our duty is to defend our clients. As I begin to think, it's really not easy to be a lawyer. Of course I would want to graduate with good result and be a good lawyer. If not,my client would not want to trust me to solve their cases. I mean, who on this earth would want to pay a lousy lawyer to defend them right??? After the tutorial class,I also start to feel the importance to defend my client and at the same time, to fight for justice! Definitely there is no point to be a lawyer if we choose not to fight for justice. I guess everyone will agree with me on this matter.
I think that's all for now.

...Last But Not Least... [Shampoo-Baby Johnson Bath] Abruptly Appear... <'Unbeaten' bubble> ...[Restart]...A New Starting Point...
...Last But Not Least... <'Unbeaten' Bubble> ...[Restart]...A New Starting Point...
[Rhythm of My Dream]
'Listen to the rhythm of my falling heart
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it will go and let me fly in vain
And let me be 'crazy' again......'
I always ask myself...
I'm asking myself continuously...
I'm asking myself dubiously...
At the end, I got the answer that I want...
That is rhythm of the 'dream' in my university life last 2 semesters...
I really thank God that He's always there for me when I needed Him. His grace is sufficient for me. By God's wisdom and strength, my dream comes true ultimately. That is my efforts, that is my exertions, that is my results. It is really hard on the way of this long long journey, keep on trying, trying and trying, waiting, waiting and waiting. There are many traffic lights on the way of this long journey which make me feel hopeless and want to give up. 365 days I have to wait...365 days I have to stand stably to protect myself become staunch and strong... That is a long long long period...
Right now, I can give you my definition of my university life at FUU after I done a week 'experiment' :
=> Univeristy life at FUU is the life where someone will never get a break due to having never-ending assignments, projects, tutorials and tests at the same time. Haha... ^_^
Know what??? University life at FUU is not a wonderful time where you can play most of the time because you'll suffer the consequences of doing everything in the last minutes, especially when you're under a sponsorship and you need to maintain a certain level of result. But I will 'try' to make sure myself work hard even it is hard... Hehe...
That's why, I really learnt how to be productive, to multi-task, to learn some time management skills and lastly, to discipline myself to revise my lessons. And of course, to make sure my stomach is never empty. Haha... ^_^
There are many things to do and recently, I'm becoming blur and confused about the procedures and all. Last week, that was a day I had 5 classes. My mind just jammed and refused to comprehend after the 5 classes, especially the fifth class. Haha...
I took a look at how much we have to read, of every single minute detail printed, and it just turns me off. Just a week to get my act prepared and focus on academics. But just like everyone is feeling, we all just want to continue to play and have fun. But I know it in me that I have to focus already and start using my rusting brain. After all, underdogs have to work hard.
I'm really glad that today I have opportunity to study what I want although I don't have more times to relax and rest. In the past of 2 semesters, there was quite relax and I can always busy going out and even staying up at late night, talking on phone with someone, chatting online and playing games. When first step I 'jump'(too happy) to FUU, I found that is such a huge different study environment between FEP and FUU. No wonder people always say that FUU students are different from others. Haha... Maybe in the way of study attitude and learning style. Or or or... Maybe it is in the jungle, far far away. Hehe ^_^
Maybe I'll go back to Malacca when free. Yesh! But... I have tons of work I need to bring back to finish and get prepare for tests. FUU life is crazy... ==!!! Hahahaha...
I will made some adjustments to my FUU life because now I know what I want and I'm sticking to my decisions. I'm not a people pleaser but I try the best to achieve my dream and to make everyone happy. It is because when they are happy, I'm happy too.
That is why I call myself 'unbeaten' bubble... Never give up and bring along happiness to you all... Haha...^_^ I love you all FUU lecturers and friends...
'Don't Worry, Be Happy'!!!
P/S : Make sure everyone take care of your body health. Be careful of virus H1N1.
[Hope you all can understand my English]

unforeseen life and expectable life..?which u prefer??
I have choose this topic as my title of writing is because even myself also always revolve around this issue.Actually,definetely for sure i think that quite a lots of people will more towards to expectable life because everythings that happen are in hands. Even it is safer and guaranteed, however don't u think yours life will be more interesting with the presence of the unexpected elements..By the way, it is all depends on what kinds of life u want to lead in the future..Be remember,you are the one that decide your life not others..Moreover, there is a sentence that have impressed me a lots which is heard from Pn. Sidah-you are the ones that controls the problem but not the problem controls you.This sentence makes me feel like having an injection of adrenalin.I have to say that it really screws up my courage.By hook or by crook,i have to admit that my distress has gets its way out after hearing said sentence.So,it is tremendously vital that you are able to construct the life you want with precondition that you have to possess a few qualities likes persistance.However, i think compared to expectable life,unforeseen life seems more challenging since affair happens without your sense,it can be pop out anytime and maybe a point that change yours life..For me, i prefer latter but it doesn't mean that i advocate that life no need be managed.Nevertheless, being able to tackle the unexpectable affair that pops out is no an easy task, u have to well-prepared .Possesion of characteristics such as elastic and flexible are integral for those who are more towards unforeseen life.Futhermore, i would like to emphasise that being elastic and flexible does not means fickle.They are different.
Lastly, i would like to say that success comes only after striving, no matter what kinds of life u going to lead, the crucial is that u have to well prepared.

Sick, sucks... :(
Firstly, I want to appologise to Puan Sitha because I only manage to post out my blog today as I was sick seriously ( i.e. high fever ) yesterday. To get up from my bed was the toughest thing for me to do yesterday after I fell sick. I just laid on my bed and slept the whole day. Therefore, I did not go to the Pusat Kesihatan to take any MC from the doctor there. I hope Puan Sitha can still accept my blog today.
I missed my mum very much because she would always be the one to take care of me even I just have a minor influenza. But yesterday was a whole new experience for me, falling sick without her by my side made me more appreciate what she had done for me.
Before this, I always have the feeling that UKM is very hard to squeeze in. But the thing that I could not imagine is that it becomes harder after I got here since 26th June. I faced many problems after I entered to this University. I had problem in changing my lfe style, became more independant than before; I need to always console my little heart to be tougher every now and then; I even have to catch up with the lecture in every class. Till now,I still have a bit dizzy about what the lecturers' are talking in front of the lecture hall.
However, the thing that I most gratified is that I meet a lot of friends here. They console me everytime my mood is down. They have been great friends since the first day I met them. I realy appreciate all the things thay had done for me. Thanks, frieds. Without all of you, I don't think I will manage to withstand till now. Thanks, friends.
