My 3rd entry

The other day I was watching The Oprah Winfrey Show (I know some of you might think it’s kind of lame to be watching this show but sometimes I do learn new things from this show), and they were talking about the army serving their country with such dignity, honour and how they are serving their country voluntarily without feeling any regrets even when they loose their limbs. It made me think about how one person can be so dedicated into protecting their country and work no matter where and when and leaving their loved ones behind, it is such a big sacrifice for them to leave everything behind for this passion of theirs which is for me is kind of a cool thing to do. That is why we should respect these people that have joined the army, they have given their all to protect our country and not being able to be with their families during festive season, it’s quite a sacrifice to make.

It made me realise that I used to or probably still am interested in the army. I do not really know what makes me feel interested in the army or maybe it is due to the smart uniform or probably I like how a discipline body is really organized and I find it very manly or macho for a guy to be an army or even in any uniform bodies cause it shows that he is a strong person and could handle any consequences that might occurred upon him. Besides that, the way they represent themselves with such dignity makes me respect them a lot.

I did have the intention of wanting to join Palapes – Pasukan Latihan Pegawai Simpanan or in English Reserve Officer Training Unit (ROTU) for my extra curricular activity but I guess I would not be joining because my life is already complicated as it is and joining Palapes would make life more complicated and what more I don’t think I can sacrifice my long stretch of holidays, I guess I am not as noble as the people that volunteered to be in the army force.

Lastly I would say that, we should really pray and wish for the best for the people that joined the army and hope that they will survive and be safe back to their loved ones.

-My Entry #3-

post Ramadhan..(3rd entry)

The holy month of Ramadhan had just end. Now,a month which had been long-awaited by all Muslims all around the region has arrived. Syawal,the ninth month in the Islamic calendar brings a thousand meaning for all Muslims. Not just it marks the victory of us in abstaining ourselves from various world desire,but it is a month where love is celebrated in the form of forgiveness. Yes,there is no denying that once the "Takbir",the holy chant to mark the beginning of Syawal, is performed in all mosques all around the region,every Muslims will be over the moon due to the realization that they have succesfully overcome their inner demon for the whole month. What wisdom is there within us ,if we are to live based on the feeling of our hearts? However,what is more important for me is what should we do and realize among ourselves. We speak of fighting to resist this world,but do we realize the battle which is happening among ourselves? My point here is in this month,the spirit of forgivesness shoul be spread. In Malaysia,it is a practice where in this month,family members will return to their respective hometowns,a tradition more recognized as "balik kampung". By this gathering,my family and I will first ask the forgiveness from each other, I couldn't stop my eyes from crying since all of us are sincerely admit what we are commit wrong and hoping that we can stay happily after this. After that, all of us visited to the relatives house, I felt so happy since it had been such along time I last saw them. We are all enjoying our Raya meals very well, although the rendang is quite spicy but I just couldn't stop myself from eating much. The whole day we filled with visiting our relatives and friends, such a happy day. Time move so fast when we are enjoying it, I have not realize that seven days already passed. Now I am back to UKM and continue my study and not forget to prepare for my conferencing.

Mooncake Festive//////////Looking forward to it..........

Back again in UKM after 10 days raya break in home. Feels like the lazy worms creeping all over me after I went back to holiday. I don't know whether I am fully charged or I am fully rotten after I went back for the raya holiday. But, I still need to kill all the worms, get my battery well charged and start the busy life in university because time waits for no one.

This Thursday -- 1st October, my college -- Ibrahim Yaakub College is going to throw an event regarding to mooncake festival celebrated by all Chinese in this world. A mooncake festival also called as tanglung festival is celebrated by Chinese all over the world. On that day, the Chinese will enjoy the glorious full moon while having a nice mooncake. They will just enjoying the reunion with their family. The round-shape moon in the sky means reunion on that day for all the Chinese.

As for the Mooncake Festival hold in my college, I have been ' honourably ' selected to become the mc for the big event. I feel so nervous and scared as I never do such things as mc and preside over any event before. And the first time I have the chance to do it, it is such a big event. Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!

This is such a new experience for me. I'm so affraid that I will not be able to carry out this job well.

Luckily, a senior stood up and offered herself to train the mc for that event. She taught us how to face the big group of people down the stage, how to deal with situation that is out of our control and many more.

Through the mc training, I learn how to speak in front of the public, how to control my nerves, how to handle a complicated situation and many others. I like the training but I'm still all keyed up regarding to the event. Hopefully I can do well on that day.

Entry 3: McDonald's V. McCurry

Malaysia’s Federal Court has ruled that McDonald’s trademark name was not violated by McCurry, a local Indian restaurant which is popular in Kuala Lumpur.
McCurry, which opened in 1999, was sued by McDonald's in 2001. According to the owners of McCurry, the “Mc” prefix in the restaurant’s name stands for Malaysian Chicken Curry.
Wow, I don't believe it but it's true. I guess it is possible to beat an international company in a lawsuit.
I'm like any other David, I love a good triumph over Goliaths. But sometimes I feel that certain Davids are merely opportunists, and when confronted they would argue that the Goliaths are major international corporations and have endless money, hence could afford to bully them. Of course there are many Goliaths who do that and should be stumped, but in some cases the Davids are no better. When it comes to McDonald’s vs McCurry, I feel that this is one of them.
Of course they were totally riding on McDonalds’ wave, but considering the food they serve is completely different and I’m sure a lot of people know how different they both are and don’t associate them with each other, I guess I don’t see a problem with it
There’s another restaurant in Jelatek called McKandar… but just because it’s not as popular as McCurry, I suppose McD’s didn’t bother suing them. So does this mean McD’s only sues companies with the ‘Mc’ if they are doing well, perhaps better than any nearby McD outlets? Hmm…..
“McCurry” should really consider expanding its business to US & UK. Many love to read such a heart-warming story about how a giant multinational company is utterly embarrassed by being so picky against a local enterprise who just wants to use the prefix “Mc”.
Silly stuff, but if McDonalds doesn't defend it's franchise around the world, we might see McSatays in Bali, McAdobo in Manila, and McSomTam in Bangkok
Will there be other outlets wanting to use the prefix ‘Mc' now that the prefix appears to be no more a monopoly by the McDonald's. My favourite siamese restaurant Mak Mandin TomYam maybe wanting to change their name to McMandin TomYam to lend themselves with some international credence or something. Or maybe we can now have other ‘Mc' related names in our other local food chains say like McNasiLemak, McSatay, McRotiCanai, McFriedKwayTiau, McChickenRice, and so the challenge to McDonald's seems endless.
But business is still business, which means that finally it's the people like us, the customers, who will decide as to whether or not any business concern will continue to exist in the market place.
I think, McDonald insist on pursuing this matter because they also one day would roll out their new product called McCurry. Since they also lost the battle, they have to give their dish another name, may be “McDonald Curry”. Haha..

Challenges =='' Impatiently Taking The Giant Leap ^_^

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time...

-[Jordin Sparks - One Step At A Time]-
This song plays in my mind non-stop lately...

Sometimes, I wonder am I a dreamer that living in a fantasy land?!? ==''
Honestly, I’m a big dreamer until reluctant to come back to earth. I have to come back to earth and take things one step at a time...

Sometimes, we want something so much until we do everything to have that something. Sometimes, we doubt ourselves in the process of wanting that something. Everything we do has to be based on conscience. I believe the conscience is always right. The conscience makes me believe that everything I do is correct.

Sometimes, I do doubt myself on what I believe in. Sometimes, I believe something which is unrealistic. Sometimes, I see the things that too far until I overlook where am I now. They can say whatever they want to say. It might shake me but I will not allow anyone to succeed. I believe what I’m doing and I’ve got heaps of faith to lead me to the promised dream.

This few weeks, there is a busy time. =='' I gonna to do assignments, presentations and preparations for Problem Based Learning(PBL). Eventhough it is hard and stressful in this process, but really learn a lot of things from group members and friends. I enjoy the process of learning at FUU and it is a new starting point for my life...
I enjoy the life of dreaming in study too...

Recently, I have an idea to take one step at a time and the step will be a giant leap...Haha...You may label me as the impatient person. However, I’m not a doomster but I see life is very short. We have to live the day to the fullest as if tomorrow never comes. I believe if you had that thought, you would be motivated because you tend to finish whatever missions faster but yet meticulously since that day was the only day you live – I believe you would make a grand finale for your life. Apart from that, you would cherish the people around you more since you know today is the last day you seeing them.

I have no idea what I’m trying to say here. My friends told me to take things slowly, I really can’t. I’m just like a steamed train with the maximum momentum which is ready to go...

I have the good old faith. I know God won’t forsake me. Actually, I did make a pact with Him. When I reach there, I will fulfill my promise to Him. I know God thing is something very sensitive to others. I don’t know. Maybe I’m not religious enough and religiously confused – I assume God like a big good God Bro up there. Please don’t punish me for saying this.

There is a sorrow period for me...
I just lost my lovely uncle last week and it happened suddenly and unexpectedly. I do need some time to calm down myself...
I will always miss you and hope you rest in peace, my lovely uncle...



3rd Entry by The Only One - Johnson - ^_^

problem based learning....==

for this few week, i really felt very stress because a lot of presentation and PBL are waiting for me to complete it. talk about the PBL, we are distribute into many groups and then will going to present it out at the specific date. for the contract PBL, so unfortunately , i dont know wat stupid question our group had got it coz it is damn difficult and we cant understand it. at first when we saw the question, we were so confused about what issue was this question under, but after many times of discussion, we finally found out one of the issue. but just one issue only we can found, the another one we still cant find it out. we are blur with it although we have think about it many times and also ask many senior already. we cant had the exact answer.

although our group already had discussion together for many times, but we still cant solve the problems. i think we sure will die together if we still cant find out the solution. but during the discussion, i had learn many things from them. they taugth me how to use CLJ to find the cases and act. during discussion, we distribute our work nicely, for me, as the judge in PBL, i try to find both cases and article that related to our case, and then we share together to see whether which one is more suitable to be used. we wont keep the information ourself, but will say it out and share with each other. sometimes, they also will help me to find the authorities that suitable to me, so nice. well,, sometime we were faced with the problem that cant be solved, and all of us will try our best to solve it, if really cant be solve after think it together, then we will just skip that topic for today and will discuss it after we find it out on the other day. because we dont want to spend so much time in a question that it is hard to solve and we will return to it after we have finish others.

so far, our group have already having our group discussion for about 4 times, and many things we had discuss together, but for the authorities that can stand for our point, we just found out some only, i tink we should speed up already, because not much time is left for us, PBL........ scare with it..==

Jealousy.

I always thought I am not the jealous type and maybe, just maybe, for some stupid reason, that is true. At least, I’m not psychotic jealous which in a way makes me not jealous at all right? Semi-jealous is not jealous and overly jealous is the term of being jealous. I never believed in being normal jealous; as in semi and overly bashed together to form ‘jealousy’. I always thought it’s either you are too jealous or not jealous at all. And since I’m not too jealous, I’m not jealous at all.

But it came to me that I am somewhat of a jealous type, but no TOO jealous, just so-so. You know what I mean? (Is this what you’d call denial?)

I thought of the reason why I look at myself as being the non-jealous type and I finally found the answer. It’s because I have no one to be jealous of or in this case, I don’t have a person whom I ‘own’. See, what makes be all jealous is when someone I don’t know totally take away the person I ‘own’. It’s complicated, but if you have my brain, you’d know that it’s perfectly simple and I’m not crazy (yet).

When I say jealous, I mean jealousy that involves someone you are close to or like. See, it’s been awhile since I like somebody and now that I have that somebody that I like, it’s clear to me as to why I am being all jealous and everything. And it’s crazy because seriously, I AM AN INDEPENDENT GIRL WHO DOES NOT NEED A BOY. But now that this someone came in my life, it’s kinda hard to keep my words.

See, I told you feelings are crazy.

I want to blame my hormones for making me feel like this. Maybe I do blame my hormones. My period is crazy. But then again, I’ve been feeling all jealous even before period time, so it can’t be the period. So like, screw that. I am jealous. I am jealous because some girl is trying to get with this guy that I like and he’s giving her the one thing that I wanted him to give me.

(That kinda make me sound like I want his virginity. Hahaha… But seriously, no.)

Anyway, he keeps on telling me that it’s nothing and that I shouldn’t be all demanding to want that because I have the better part of him; I know him well as compared to that girl. And as much as I want to be all flattered that he said that (which I am), the other big chunk of him, even though it may not be important for him to be sharing with me, is as important in this so-called relationship.

(But I mean, it’s not a relationship. We are just friends. But no, we’re closer than friends.)

Some of part of me cannot believe that he gave her what I always wanted. I felt cheated in a sense. I do. To have her be all, “you’re so cute!” is ridiculous because I don’t even know if he is cute at all. But then again, there’s this part of me that’s over that whole drama. I mean, I am happy to be having what I have which is being really close to him and our 2 years worth of friendship. And to know that she doesn’t have that makes me feel good. Super good.

I don’t even think that I am entirely jealous of what she got from him. The thought of knowing him much better and having been through a lot together just totally shut everything else that she received from him. Because clearly, that part of him that she got is nothing compared to what I have.

So now, I’m not jealous anymore. Man, I just resolved my own jealously through writing! :S

How awesome is that?????? I rock my socks out!

During Raya Break.....(3rd entry)

1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th.................11th weeks.
Hooo.....Yeah!!!!!
Finally I have passed through all the 11 weeks.It's time to have Raya break.Finally,I can just release my burden for a few days.Finally, I can go back to my beloved hometown to see my beloved family.Last few days were really stressful for me. There were a lot of assignment to do and i lack of sleep seriously.Finally, I can take a rest now.

During this Raya break,I was invited by a Malay friend's to visit his house during the Raya Festival.When visiting his house, I found a lot of customs and traditional which i can't learned from textbooks.So, I think it is a very good chance for me to find out more traditional of my different ethnic's friends especially for us who live in Malaysia which have variety of races.

I was studied at Chinese school which we called as SJK or SMJK school in both primary and secondary school.All the friends that I mingled around are Chinese.I totally did not have chance to mix with friends with other races.This condition was changed when I went to SMK school to further my Pra-U study,I have the opportunity to mix with Malay and Indian friends.If I never have chance to mix with them,then i may not be able to know their living style,traditional foods,their dialects and so on.

From the experience that I get before, I think that all Malaysians must try to understand other races' custom and traditional as well.This will prevent the discrimination and misunderstand between races. For instance,we should support 1 Malaysia Concept which was introduced by our recent Prime Minister which based on the principles outlined in the Constitution and the Rukun Negara,in order to build a progressive Malaysia and unity of all Malaysian.

After the visited to my friend's house, i realized that the importance of understanding between different races. I felt glad to have a friend like him.He was given me an opportunity to broaden my knowledge on Malay's customs.Lastly,I would like to say I'm proud to be part of Malaysian!!!

3rd entry ^_^

Wow~Finally this Raya break has come...As a UKM student, I keep looking forward for this one week break, because our school have no mid-semester break, this Raya break is the only holiday before the semester break. I feel good to back home, but with a depressed mind, because there are many preparation works for PBL and also assignments need to be done during this holiday.
Last Monday, our MLS group had done the video shooting for PBL at PTSL moot court. All of us play role as different character in the proceeding of court of case 'Chua Mui Nee v Palaniappan' and I act as one of the judge in the proceeding of that case. This is the first time I wear the robe and also the first time I act as a judge at the moot court. Although the PTSL moot court is smaller than the actual one, but the experience we having the video shooting there had caused us to feel encouraged and it is already enough for us seem we are only the first year students and we never have such experience before. Besides that, we have also took a few of photos there, it is great! :)
On the other hand, something that made me feel miserable is the assignment group member that did not give commitment. This is the first time I met two of the same problems like that at the same time. Haiz... It is really tiring...However, at least, we have already done some of the assignment, so hopefully will not getting the some problem again.
The final exam is nearer, as a last minutes student, it is really a big bad dream :'(Wuu~~ Still got two more months will reach semester break, I'm longing for it...But before it, I need to put more effort to face my PBL and the final exam! Gambateh!!!

its PBL again

Hai! PBL (problem based learning) is just around the corner. It is basically a project for the lecturer to know how far we have gone in this semester. Everyone is so busy doing their own business except some of the sleeping partner in the group where it happens in my own group as well. There is two person in the group who never bother to get to know what is going on in the group and never will lend a helping hand even on our request. They will come late on the meeting, never do homework before the discussion and will keep their mouth shut during the discussion. I am so stress and frustrated because I feel like no one in the group is able to help me. There is no teamwork in our group where it makes me afraid we cant perform the ability we actually had. I really hope to prove to the world that we, this batch can do better than the batch before. This is because most of the lecturer think that we should not be here, studying this course with the previous lousy result (STPM, Matriculation, ASASI). Two week before this, I cried in the middle of the night. Not because of any nightmare but an imagination of getting fail in the courses im taking. If I can perform well in this PBL ‘assignment’ I should be alright. Now, problem is on the group member. When commitment is not given, no marks will be granted. I really don’t know how to keep on going anymore as the question already tough plus no co-operation and contribution. I really do appreciate to those in my group who puts effort and heart onto this project where I take it so hard and serious. If we have do our best, put in our fullest effort into it, I would not care about the result as in my opinion, what is crucial in this project is the process, the process of developing new knowledge and to explore new chapter that the lecturer have not teach. I will only pray to Him and wish my group is not the worst one. Thank you to those who give co-operation. I love you and i will remember you. to those who didn't give commitment also, i will remember you, but in other way.

Being a LEADER

I understand Khoo's feeling..Sometimes as a leader also,I feel it's so hard to control my emotion ... At first, I thought that being a leader is easy. However, after going through few meetings with my group members especially for Constitution and Contract law, I start to realize that being a leader is a tough job. To my group members, I want to apologize here because I always show cold expression to you guys. I feel so frustrated at times dealing with so many people...

Guess it's a good training for us to lead a group. However I can't agree with my group members for PBL constitution which is to use BM during moot. This is because there are too many reference books for constitution in English and I find that lots of words are really limited in BM. If I direct translate the word from BI to BM,then it will sound so funny. I am not being bias here but for Malays(i don't mean all k), why can't take up the challenge to speak English? Moreover you know you are taking law and most of the reference books are in English, so just accept the fact and brush up your English. My English is not that good either. I still remember my group members face(the malays) when I told them that we have decided to use english for our contract PBL. Guess what? Their face suddenly turn so pale that I got shock out of sudden! Too bad I didn't snap their photo to post here. I still remember there's this Malay guy who is in the same mentee group as me shared to my mentor that he has problem in English and therefore he has no confidence to speak. However he is planning to take English class during holiday. Well,my mentor told him that in order to improve his English,he needs to speak. Don't bother whether people want to say he show off or whatsoever,the most important thing is his future. I definitely agree with this ;)

I really learn a lot of things by being a leader. Even the other day when Dr Sakina called the group leader for contract PBL to see her, lots of group leaders complain about lots of things about their group members. However,I know that most of them had tried their best-it's just that everyone is still blur about this PBL thing. Besides,the worst part of being a leader is when misunderstanding happens and there's no clarification about this matter. Then, you can see that everyone seems to be not cooperative at all and things are not done in time!!! Ohhhh!!!! That is really the worst part because not only no one manage to learn anything but when the time comes to present the work to the lecturer, everyone is silent! That is why I learn that patience play a big role in group work. Without patience and tolerance with one another, nothing can be done!

Anyway thanks to all my group members yeah... Having experienced as a group leader for 3 groups, I hope that next time someone else will take up the challenge to be a leader. It's really good if everyone gets a chance to be a leader.

Cheerio;)

Entry 3: Hard to survive

Recently, too many undesirable things occurred around me. I think many people are facing the same problems with me. We feel hard and no idea to answer the PBL questions .Some more, problems within the group members who members do not cooperate and contribute towards group task. I really feel sad and anger when the group members shown their apathy attitude. I feel hard to control my emotion when the group members are not willing to do contribute. Sometimes, when I cannot bear their attitude anymore then I will start to reprimand them. However, I feel sorry to them. I should control my emotion. Instead of scolding them, I should communicate with them in a more proper manner. From now onward, I need to control my emotion, always staying calm.I tell myself , don get angry . Maybe sometime it is my fault also . I do not explain the task clearly to my team members so they are confused what should they do. I must change my attitude and become a more calm person . I trained myself do not get incensed easily and be more patient .
From the PBL , I do really learn many things . I learn how to become a more optimistic person. Previously, I like to think negatively before doing a task. I will think in that way that my task is going fail.However Pbl, I learn to be more optimistic and be confident. Now, I try to be confident and believe that my task will be completed and success. I should more communicate with my team members and learn how to communicate .Through PBL, I can learn how to survive in a real society. Why I say so? Because PBL is a group task, we cannot survive individual . We must depend on each others to survive.
LAst but not least, I would like thank my parents again. I appreciate for my parents. I hope my family members always happy.

Bulan Sabit Merah Malaysia

Third Entry-- Addicted to BSMM by Hannah Teh Kiao Huoi

Hi, everyone. Today I wouldl like to talk about a topic which is totally not related to law course, which is Bulan Sabit Merah Malaysia. I am not a member of BSMM during my primary school and secondary school as well. Unfortunately, I forced to choose BSMM as my Ko-K activity as there is no any vacancy in other activities already, especially Persatuan Pelajar.

I thought it will be a nightmare for me to join BSMM because there is so many senoir told me that it is very tough to score in BSMM compare to other activities, like persatuan Pelajar and Khimat Masyarakat. What I can do? I have choose already..

At first, i really hate to attend the lecture. I even sleep during the lecture class but after i join my college's BSMM, i start felt interested with it already. I start fall in love with it.This is because we can gain alot of knowlegde in bandaging and the way to handle a real case.

After attend the several Wednesday duty slot in my college's BSMM. I found that there is 37 kind of bandaging we have to know. We have to learn how to bandage the parts of the body from head to toes . In order to do and complete this kind of bandaging nicely, we really need to be patient and co-operation with others members as there is some bandage is needed more than one people. Beside that, we are advise to practise by ourself because there will be a mini PPC(Pertandingan Pertolongan Cemas) for the coming October. So, my friends will become the casualty for me.. Haha..

Then, lets talk about the way to handle the cases. There is 3 casualties in a case. 5 people will form a group as the 1st aider to help them. 1 will be the leader, 1 have to do the Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),which is an emergency medical procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest or, in some circumstances, respiratory arrest. There third 1st aider have to call ambulance whereas the 4th one have to do the bandage.The fifth or the last 1st aider will handle the casualty who is under hysteria after the accident. So, we need to know about our own responsibility very well in order to complete the task. It required all members co-operative. I think it is a very challenging activity for me as I am the one who easy to get nervous. I hope this kind of activity can overcome my this problem...

After gone through all this activities, I started addicted to BSMM already.. I like BSMM..NO!! I SHOULD SAID: BULAN SABIT MERAH MELAYSIA, I LOVE YOU...

PBL

I feel so relief that at last, we have come to the end of our lecture and also tutorials.. Next week is just revision week only. I can't help but to smile.. This is because this weekend is my first weekend that I don't feel so stress and keep thinking how to complete my tutorials. What a great relief...However,this is not a relax time either..I am going to have to rush to complete around 7 PBL projects-Problem based learning..

I am not so sure whether I enjoy doing PBL or not..This is because lots of us still don't have clear idea on how to do the projects..Anyway I have made appointment to meet up with professor next week for my group..Seriously if we don't meet up with the Professor, we are going to be lost. Furthermore,it's going to be so late if after raya break only we want to discuss with the Professor on how to approach the question in our PBL. As a first year student, we are still so blur because this PBL thing is really so new to us.

Nonetheless I do hope to get myself use to it as soon as possible. Now that we have to work in group, it's definitely not easy to get all our group members to cooperate. Some just expect you to vomit out all the answers to them. Some of them really made me feel so frustrated seeing them! Besides I was sick for one whole week last week but still got to attend meeting and therefore I cannot tolerate those who told me that they cannot come for meeting just because they are sick!!! Some even worst! They don't even make that effort to reply your message whether are they able to come for meeting or not and even if they come, they didn't bring questions neither reference book! Wonder how group discussion is going to go on like that...

I hope before raya break,all my group members will be able to cooperate well to get the job done faster. I understand that so many people is in the raya mood right now but I think that they should not forget their responsibility to get their necessary work done before Raya so that everyone can enjoy during Raya. Of course the other races don't celebrate Raya but nonetheless, everyone also wants to get break after not having any long break ever since we enter UKM.....

DeBaTe

Recently I have joined a mini debate...and it's really fun. Students from other faculty also join this debate... it's really so interesting..Guess what? There are two law students who debated but one of them really makes everyone blur..I think he needs to improve on his expression because he cannot really express himself well and the longer he talks, the more he sounded as though he is so so so ANGRY!! His tone of voice really scare all of us..

Hey tips for law students! When you are debating or doing client counseling, do not talk rudely to the client...and other than that,it's alright... Besides, please do not run out of the topic..If you are suppose to debate on a particular motion given to you, make sure that you are really alert with the time and also do not say things that are totally irrelevant with the motion until everyone has wrinkle on their faces... and one more mistake that the student did was, when there's like 30 seconds left, he started to flip the papers and read from there... well, logically 30 seconds is just enough time for you to flip through the papers - no time to explain further!! This case is so applicable especially if you do not know which page to read!!!!

Although that particular student is a bright student, I feel that as a law student, we need to know and learn to be balance! It doesn't mean that I am a perfect law student(don't mistaken me for that k!) We need to know how to deal with our clients and also how to talk in a way that everyone understands! Yes!! I admit we do have flaws here and there but at least not to the extent that people can't understand you at all!!!

So yeah..that's all from me..just wanna share my experience only...hehehe....

angry,fed up!!!!

What is happening? Everyone came in to the law faculty with happiness and eager desire to learn...However now that it's coming to the tenth week. everyone plus the lectures complain and complain...lots of people want to quit and change course already...

though we actually prepared for tutorials, but most of the time when the lecturer ask us questions,we can't answer and the lecturer thoought we didn't prepare and therefore scold us. Not only that,until today the lecturer still scold us because we never put in enough effort. Kinda tough time for us. The lecturer also said that we are the worst badge this year compared to other years. Seriously this is the tenth week already but I don't feel like i've learn lots of stuff.

The class that I really hate is Malaysia Legal System class. It seems that she is more concern on our performance-how we act or sing out our answers in class rather than what is our answer for that particular question. Sometimes I wonder have I entered into the wrong class....maybe Malaysia Legal System should be substitute with acting class... Weird right??? gosh..!!! n during her lecture,she only concentrates on handsome guys! Pretty annoying actually!!! She like to joke(which is not funny) and end up after two and the half hour of her class,I do not understand a single thing she said... !!! I really dislike her but memang kan..apa nak buat...takdir dong!! terima je la...lecturer kan...

Rest In Peace - Free At Last ...

She was 51 – a critically - acclaimed multi - award winning film director, writer, scriptwriter and executive creative director at Leo Burnett Kuala Lumpur. I believe that everyone in Malaysia had seen at least one of her works – Petronas television commercials. Seriously, when every festive season comes, we would like to pay attention to the television commercials by Petronas. Her message was simple but yet thought-provoking...

Her movie, Sepet is a very good local movie for me. This movie showcases the power of love which crosses the boundary of races. It tells us that love should be cherished, should be fought for before it comes too late.

It was happened at the end of July. July supposed to be my favourite month of the year but not this year. It’s not to say I’m having hard time in this month but somehow it’s rather bittersweet ride this month. We experienced tragic events this month - the funeral for Michael Jackson, the controversial death of Teoh Beng Hock, the shocking demise of Yasmin Ahmad, and the case of Swine Flu is getting worst this month in Malaysia. Ain’t the world is having tough time?

Talking about Yasmin, I watched her interview in Star Online. The interview was conducted on 21 July, five days before her death. The interview showed that she was a humbly clever woman. Life is so fragile right? Never thought few days after, she was no longer with us. I believe that the people in media industry will be very upset for the sudden lost. She was close to everyone. I believe that her passing will be the topic of you and me.

Where’s the sweetness of July? Well, for this month, it was many challenges. I always hope that i will have a clear blue sky every morning when I wake up from my bed. I feel that this lovely weather could translate that I would have a beautiful day - but I was wrong. I was cloud no nine but it was short-lived. Now, I have to face reality. The reality of life on my turning point. Lately, I feel my life is a routine. Wake up in the morning, go to class, back to class then the next day will be the same. I lost the essences and spices of life. I wonder, 4 years down the road, my life will be a routine too without any passion left? I know the road will be long or not even can reach to the destination. I am still confusing what I’m doing now...

It was nice...
Yasmin Ahmad’s movies could really make you stayed put on your seat and reflect about your life. Sometimes I ponder, is it life is all about problems like dramas in the soap opera? When you have bid farewell to your innocence, you will face relentless problems. Once your problem is solved, then another problem will knock on your door and this cycle goes on. When all the problems have been solved, then God will knock on your door and take you away. Some of the problems are even larger than life that you might give up and watch the problems stay as it is. Problem is a staple of life. I always tell myself, just face it. Though it could really consume you or trap you in a box without any ventilation but once you come out of the problem, you will amaze at yourself how strong you are - the strength is sometimes is hard to believe - it can really bring a giant down. Just look at me. My up bringing was never been easy.

I also ponder the roots of the problems in the world that makes everyone despair. Corrupted human nature or fate decided by God? God is good and I don’t believe He will let his sons and daughters to live a life which filled with insurmountable troubles. I believe human nature is the root of all problems in the world. Though you behave yourself well and shut the door from the troubles that visit you but someone in your home will inflict the problems. Yes, no matter how good are you, the thief and the vulture definitely will hunt you down. So what to do? That’s life. Face it, fix it and be wise enough next time to avoid them to inflict the problems on you.

Sometimes I also ponder – do our complicated minds making our lives more complicated, making our problems more complicated? Just ask ourselves, do we think too much or worry too much sometimes for the things or issues that simple in its appearance and essence? When we think too much for the simple things, the things will lose its adjective of being simple. Just take simplicity in our thinking to make our lives simpler. I know simplicity will give way to people to take opportunity on us, so what to do? Just think smart and simple. I do believe people should sometimes take some time off from the busy schedule, sit back and relax and take a look on life. I remember that Dr. Sakina told us there are 3 main quelifications to make people respect to you, there are knowledges, languages and generic skills. I am in my way searching for them starting from a new turning point...

English for law is a interesting subject for me and the way of learning this sucject is fresh and challenging. I can't deny the fact that this subject can evidently improve and strengthen my English language in the study of law. Thank you so much Puan Sitha paying so much efforts in teaching and I do like your teaching style. It is comfortable and amazing. I do hope to get much from this subject and find incentive to inspire my life on the road ahead...^_^ And do hope to be free at last...

How I wish I could be so inspiring like Yasmin Ahmad. Telling my thoughts and feeling to the world and let the people be astounded by my thoughts and feeling. I think it is one of the best from Yasmin Ahmad.

She suffered from stroke. So folks, take care of your health, life is very fragile and there is no take two.

Rest in peace, for the jewel of the local media industry - Yasmin Ahmad.
