AGAIN, BLACK AND WHITE..OR COLOURFUL?AND THE RESULT IS........

LAW IS COLOURFUL~~

ENTRY 2

It's colourful...It's not only black and white...so I've decided to write in many colours as this blog's layout is already in black and white..I don't want it to look dull and cold...the same thing goes to law..let us as the 25th batch of law students in UKM to colour it and to enjoy learning law here..in my previous entry,I've mentioned that I was pondering whether law is all about black and white...I think, I have the answer by now...

it's true that as lawyers,we have to wear black and white suits, make black and white agreements, so on and so forth...see..even our blog is in black and white...it symbolises law...law,black and white are synonims...I know law looks dull and boring and my friends from other faculties said, "you're wearing black and white again...like tahi cicak!"...and my reaction was,laughing insincerely...however, they do not know, and some of us,as law students do not know that as we go through every topic,with different interesting and fascinating cases, it colours the whole learning process... some of the cases even make us laugh, as the facts are humorous and ridiculous..and some cases are pathetic.. and some are surprising...do you learn the story of a daughter sueing her own mother for not giving her money as in the case of Jones v. Padavatton, daughter held after killing 3 in his family, in other courses in the universities??you can only learn these fascinating cases in LAW STUDIES...I want to share with you a ridiculous case of a horse..

Turnage v. Christy Brothers Circus
144 S.E. 680 (1928)

Nevermind the Monkeys, Watch the Horses!! The plaintiff, an unmarried lady, while attending a circus performance as a guest of the circus, was seated in the front row. During the show, "a horse, which was going through a dancing performance immediately in front of where plaintiff was sitting, ... caused to back towards the plaintiff, and while in this situation the horse evacuated his bowels into her lap, that this occured in full view of many people, ... all of whom laughed at the occurrence, that as a result thereof the plaintiff was caused much embarassment, mortification, and mental pain and suffering ..."

it's ridiculous, isn't it? everyone knows that i'ts not the fault of the Christy Brothers Circus..it's the horse itself who jumped at the plaintiff..could she sue the horse?put the horse in jail or claim money from the horse,instead??haha...Do you get to learn this in Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Science, Mass Communication, or in Computer Science?the answer is NO...you can only find this in law studies..that's why, LAW is very interesting..that is the reason why I said, LAW IS COLOURFUL...

as we all know, reading law is very interesting...however, it doesn't mean that we have to take it for granted..all of the cases need to be memorised, it includes the parties to the suit, the counsels, the judges, the facts of the case, the court held, and the opinion of judges...so, what we should do is we should take it seriously, give 100% commitment and never give up...

Don't just dare to dream, dare to live your dreams. Successful people don't do extraordinary things but they do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. I dare myself to do ordinary things in extraordinary ways to prove that I can get extramarvellous results...and my friends, let us do it together....ALL THE BEST!!

SUCCESS is not FINAL, FAILURE is not FATAL...it is the courage to continue that counts...

Late AGAIN!
Coming late to class were no fun to me because I hate when people look at me because of my lateness. "Sorry for being late madam", says me and two other friends. Thank god our lecturer did not go mad on us eventhough we were not late for the first time. Thank you madam, i'll try not to be late again :)

English for Law, on the first day I enter this class, I thought it was nearly similar to an English subject where we were taught common English. But, my persumption were wrong because we do learn more than english itself in this class. We learn the technique of skimming long text for we can save more time on reading, we were not afraid to express our opinions and most of all, I get to know the importance of a dictionary. Sounds funny right? But this is true, and I'm gratefull that it's not late when I realise the advantage of dictionary.

Before, I do think the knowledge of English that i have is already enough, but, after learning this subject I do found it is still not acceptable. Therefore, I'll refer to the dictionary for it does help me a lot in finding what I don't understand. Now, whenever I do not understand any certain meanings I'll refer to my new best 'friend' the dictionary. If before this, I'll spend my leisure time by surfing the net or reading japanese manga but lately, I read dictionary on purpose! This is because I want to learn more words and improve my English.

About my life in UKM, I'm trying to express my talent in debating. I've joined the debating club few weeks ago after been asked by some seniors. Gladly, the training schedule is not that tight because we can be excuse from training if we have work to be done such as assignments and study. Eventhough I've enter the debate club, I still did not foget the main reason I enter this well known institue. Which is to do well in my academic studies.
Lastly, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of you guys and madam Nuretna, Happy Independence Day!Don't do something unlawfull and spend your time to celebrate this important day for our country. MERDEKA!!

OUR EFL GROUP ASSIGNMENT!!!!

Suppose you had the perfect disguise and the chance to commit crime, indulge in any vice, do whatever you wanted, to anyone you wanted, free from guilt or remorse, and never be caught. What would you do? Would you ever stop? Would you still be yourself? Can one without compassion, self-control or morals still be called a human after all??

hehehe.. so emotional right??

Actually I want to make some comment about my group assignment for this subject which entitled Death Penalty Should be Abolished.

I think it is cruel to sentence someone to death... Is it relevant if someone who commits murder to be sentenced to death??? Yeah.. we can say that you will get back what you did... I mean what goes around comes around... that is Karma... the rules of world...but thinking twice, to punish someone who commits immoral actions with immoral ways is not something that we can consider as a good method... why kill someone to prove to someone that killing is wrong??

yeah.. frankly speaking... if you are the family of the mudered person, offcourse you will get mad and want revenge to be taken.... but why don't we give the muderer second chance to be a better person... even if in Islam, it is stated that we should appologize someone who had commited wrong and give second chance to that person..but if that person not even regret what he has done, then punishment should be go on...

so.... friends.... talking about second chance and regarding Ramadan.... I would like to make an apppologize for my imperfection and whatever that hurt you guys... Sorry and Happy Ramadhan...

ENTRY TWO.

Hello people,

Because time flew like a supersonic hybrid nuclear-powered jet plane, here I am again to post my second entry for English for Law's e-Journal. Here I am typing this entry from the comforts of my crib back in Taiping. But I do not know what to write here.

So let me just go randomly.

Since we're approaching Merdeka Day, I thought about people who have really upheld the Malaysian spirit throughout their lives. First is Yasmin Ahmad. Yes the creator of inspirational and nostalgic though sensitive advertisements and movies like Sepet, Gubra and Tan Hong Ming. Her advertisements could be seen on national television during the merdeka and festive seasons.
In her productions, she really managed to capture the everyday lives of Malaysians as it is. No fabrications, no fakes, no makeup. She wasn't afraid to potray Malaysian sensitive issues, taboo, controversies and stereotypes. Sadly, she has passed but her creations and productions will forever live on.




One more person who has really shown the Malaysian spirit is none other than Lat or Mohd Nor Khalid. I've been reading his comics in magazines and the newspapers ever since I was little. He too drew his comics based on Malaysian lives as they were. His works such as Kampung Boy, Town Boy and Lat at Large really captured the true picture of the Malaysian culture and traditions.

However, there are always people who try to disrupt the peace and unity among the people in this country. I read about this just today and its sad, very very sad.

Peeved with the proposed relocation of a Hindu temple to their area, some 50 protesters march from the state mosque to the state secretariat building with a severed cow's head.

Firstly, they did not like a place of worship of a different religion other than theirs to be built in their area. That is worst enough. Then they had to chop off a cow's head and march it all the way from the mosque to the secretariat building. I'm sure they knew that a cow is considered to be a holy and blessed creature for the Hindus.












































There are more happenings like this but I would rather not speak about them.

Things just like this just keep on happening.
Is there really harmony and peace among the people of Malaysia?
Or is it just stated in the text books and tourism brochures?
Reflect on the state of our country at this moment by yourself and think.


1Malaysia??? What 1Malaysia???



p/s: Happy Merdeka Day....

Objection Overruled

Entry 2

2 months in ukm teaches me a lot..

now was the 7th week and everythings become tougher and tougher..

2 things that makes me scared are the individual assignment on 'law and information technology' and reading the law of contract subject..aaarrgghh! these two subjects makes my head cracked..plus, the fasting month has arrived and this situation teaches me to be the most patient person in the world..

2 months in ukm makes me miss my former institution, UiTM..

frankly speaking, living here in ukm is totally different and Im still prefer to live in uitm..it seems like everything is perfect there compared here..maybe it is only 2 months and I still did not explore everything..but I miss Kolej Kenanga 5, a place that provides me a space to sleep for a year, I miss Cempaka 2, Cempaka 3, the Faculty of Law itself, I miss Dataran Cendekia where we used to have our great times there, I miss Seksyen 2, where all the mamak stalls that we used to hang out together, i miss my friends; Ghaffar, Izzat, Chono, Johnny, Syazreen, Daniel, Fauzi, Adi who used to be my best friends forever but thank God we still marching in the same lines although each one of us have our own route to go..And beyond all that, I miss UiTM!!

But 2 months in ukm gives me what it takes as a student..

I realised that learning progress as a student was the best moment ever in life..I believe and hold by this word that says 'life gives us a hard way to live but we can fill it with perfect moments' and I survived..days has passed, weeks by weeks, and the third month is upcoming, I promise to myself that I will build new memories here, in UKM..

For my friends that feels the same way like me, there is no such reason to make us fail to studying here and;

OBJECTION OVERRULED..

tension?

In this few week I felt very tension about my study.First of all my contract learning. I dont really understand when lecturer teached about undue influence.I scared to asked.But my mentor, Pn Zainunnisa tell me to ask the lecturer.I think I have to listen to her.This is for my own benefit.Then I dont even read any cases yet. I'm so scared I will fail this semester exam.But that have to change, and I have to change fast.I hope my friend can help me with the cases.I'm also tension about my after class activities.I entered "urusetia pengucapan umum" to sharpen my debating skill.But it has taking a lot of my night time.Although in this fasting month we only practice twice a week but it really make me tension.I always think about debating.My mind cannot concentrate to other thing.Do I have to quit UPU? I myself confuse.Maybe i need to put more attention to what I'm suppose to do in university. To study as my parent hoping to me. Do I? Am I making good decision? What should I do?

I joined the convocation as a choir member on 16th august.

it was a grand event...Dectar was beautifully decorated with flowers...

luckily,I witnesSed the anugerah pelajar di-raja,who graduate from FUU...and it was trutly proud!!!!=>

After each slot,all graduates and their friends and family would gather at the land before the DECTAR,taking photos...and received blessing and congrates from us,the juniors....

I, as a choir member,followed the seniors,and succeslly found the choir graduates,sending them flowers,presents,and blessing....

For the very first time,i witnessed graduate was 'throw' by the juniors...perharps it is a traditional...i guess....

it was an quite unforgettable experience....for me...the feeling is like how i wish i was the one graduate at the time...i can throw away all my burden ,my lectures,my tutorials,my tests,my assignments,my discussions,my meetings...............................

yet,i know,graduate=a whole new beginning...

for them,they are a lot of unpredictable challenges and tasks awited them....

life is always contradictory....how i wish to graduate faster ...and how i wish to enjoy university life for long long times....

denise told me,we must take a lot of pictures when we graduate....

ya,that is it!

hope our effort will pay off..

hope our friendship last till then....

lets strive,and strive......for our own 'convocation' 4 years later...

kampateh!!!!!

The Fasting Season

You are tired,you are hungry,you have just spent a long day at the library and you can't wait to get back to you room.This is what I feel how study time would be feeling,but somehow once I entered the "English for Law" class,I can sense a different environment in this class.
Here is where I can express my feeling,trying something new and doing something which is slightly out from law and focus more in improving my english language.Here,in this class,I also have to think critically in order to answer the question because I have to answer the question based on a passage.This is absolutely different from law subjects,where in law there is no such things of right or wrong.I can answer the question as how as I wish but just have to make sure that I am not out of topic.However studying english for law is quite fun as it did not focus only on certain topic but cover the whole things,starting from my basic of grammer until my general knowledge.
At the same time,during the class I did not feel so tention as the rules is not too tight in the class.I also manage to understand and improve my knowledge on law and at the same time improve my english language.
That's all for now,till we meet again..

my first journal

My first Journal

Just as I finish my matriculation, I really hope to get a long rest and regain my health. I have been struggling to my nerve since getting in there as I am a little bit disappointed because I was not offered to do foundation in law. But however, I tried my best in all aspect and enjoy my life fullest.

In the midst of holiday, the offer letter was posted to my house saying that I was offered to do Bachelor in Law in UKM, how enjoyed I must have been. I couldn’t sleep and keep imagining to be there as soon as I can, I have heard many interesting things there. I am really hoping that I can be the best in what I am doing and enjoy my four years of studies here and come out being somebody…

Life is not an easy task…

I was so stressful at this time. Time flies so fast till I noticed that I already in the week 8 of the semester. I am not a good student but I still believe that I am not too far away from that. Below are the list of how I reflects about myself and the subjects that I learned during the semester..

If I could pause, stop and rewind the clock….

It is 2 o`clock in the morning….some of my friends would probably enjoyed their bed right now or maybe hanging up with phone calls or maybe “facebooking”.. Yet I am still here, sitting in front of my desk and thinking what I have done in the past 56 days ago…I felt restless, tired and messed up….I always asking myself why this life is so unpredictable(sometimes happy sometimes not)…I feel like giving up. But when the time I do something stupid things in order to vanish such emotions (for example, I will go hang out with my fellow friends during the asasi in order to forget the stress), I will hear the voice of my mum and every tears of her crying for me visualized in my mind. I can remember every single word that she used to advise me…..that is the reason that makes me feel guilty every time I do something that would not benefit me.

The only thing I know is I have to work harder and keep pushing me to the limit. I didn`t come from a wealthier family and I didn`t granted any specialties that made me so special. I am a simple person but I am not afraid to do something extraordinary. I reflects myself as a new player in a world full with challenges…which I had to encounter the problems myself as my mum always said “victory is not given, you must earned it”…I put it clearly in my mind.

I found myself in the first year degree at the law faculty of UKM. At this stage I noticed that I have changed a lot..some might in positive and some in a negative way. I have to take 7 subjects in this semester and the subjects are Malaysian legal system (MLS), constitution, contract, ICT, English for Law and another two co-curriculum subjects. I found myself that I could caught up with my core subjects namely the contract, constitution and MLS yet I still have to do a lot of reading in order to make my knowledge better.

About my study in English for Law classes, I found that this course is a very interesting one as I learnt a lot from this subject such as the skimming ones. Before this I take a long time to read the text by looking from paragraph to paragraph. But after I know this method, I found that I only have to find the important subjects or words that laid in the text. As a law student, it is a very effective way as law subjects consists of very long texts especially when reading the cases. I also could improve my skills in communication with my English lecturer and friends. I like it very much the way that my lecturer handling the class. She used a lot of quizzes during the class. Usually we are divided into two groups and each group will compete each other in order to win the quiz (usually competition using words or vocabulary). This method had introduced me a new vocabulary especially the legal words or terms that will be useful for me to apply it in the law field. However I am quite upset with the participation among my classmates as I saw them are not-so-energetic during the class. I hope that they could make the class happier as I enjoyed very much if I could study in a happy environment. I didn`t blame on them as I think that we need a little time for a change, or maybe they are too sleepy as the class started at 8am and they have to wake up early to catch up the bus. As I also always being late for the class. For sure, I love my class, my classmates and my lecturer.

Those things that I learned till now make me so energetic and I realized that I did not alone in this faculty. I throw away all the negative feelings that have been haunted me before. I started working this blog at 2am and finished it right now at 446am. At first I was so frustrated with myself but after a night`s spending on about myself revision, I noticed that all the burdens was just a test to make stronger and stronger. As a conclusion I may rewind or stop the time but it maybe not fair for me……thank you~

Living my life as a soldier

After a few times thinking,i’ve made up my mind to join the Reserved Officer Training Unit(ROTU) also known as PALAPES as my co-curriculum subject.People around me keep telling me to forget my intention to join ROTU because it’s really difficult to get along with.But i don’t deny that it is quite hard because when i’m in training,i’ve to discipline myself.
Being a ROTU participant is not that easy because i need to arrange my time to study and go for training.The training held on Saturday and Sunday for 10 hours each day in two weeks for a month.
Honestly,i’m used to be a man who lack of discipline.But my participation in ROTU has turn myself into a different man than before.Actually i only change my appearance which to follow the outfit code of ROTU.But still i think i know where i belong.
But i still aware that i have to focus on the reason why i came to UKM that is to further my studies.ROTU is a collateral studies which i gain the opportunity to learn to live like a soldier.It’s a very challenging activity but i love it.
I think that’s all for my entry this time and next time i try to figure out my other experiences to be shared and reflected in this journal.

Legal learning in progress

I have started my classes in this faculty for the 8th week, it is not a long period, but I can see things have changed. I wondering what is changing, but i just know something is changing me myself. I have been taught a lot of topics about law, but I still need some time to analyze what I had been taught. My mid-term examination was just over. I found out that there is much more effort i should put in. I was so frustrated when I am asked to give my own opinion as answers in exams and tutorials while I am an undecided one. I can give my opinion but not the legal opinion like what had been required by the lecturers. I am totally doubt. It is a challenge for me. There is many questions in my mind, wondering how can I completely understand an article well. The classes was conducted in Bahasa Malaysia, while the tutorials was conducted in English and generally, the reference books was in English too. It took times for me while doing my revision. It is confusing me but I must find the proper solutions for this problem as soon as possible. Sometimes i wonder, why the people around the world has different languages. Besides that, studying law subjects took a long time. An effective time management is necessary for this moment. There is a lot of knowledge I am going to learn, so far I found out that mind-mapping learning skill helped me a lot. It helped me to simplify complicated topics in my studies.

Unsolved problem...

ENTRY 2

Constitution,MLS and Contracts...these are the three most common words among our first year students in UKM law faculty.After few days of rest,we are again back to battlefield...

We have three main tasks right now,the first one would be completing English for Law's assignment,which is our top priority,the second one would be to finish our IT Law assignment and the third one would be finishing the Hubungan Etnik presentation.To make the situation worst,we have to constantly doing tutorials and we have to keep studying things taught by lecturer....that is a really heavy burden for first year student like me.

I feel like i cannot cope with so many things at the same time.These are the situations that i never encountered during my high school years,for me it is a total transformation.I do have the mood to study,but in the process,I face many obtacles and hindrance.My room itself is an obstacle for me to study.

I am currently residing in Kolej Keris Mas,which is one of the prominent colleges in UKM.But after so many weeks,I am still having the same problem,the room is so hot and not ventilated.Our room is so hot that even the fan's speed is already maximised,it is still extremely hot and I cannot concentrate on my studies,that is one of the obtacles.

The another problem with my room is that I will have the tendency to fall asleep.I can't concentrate on my studies because a bed jut lies beside me.I feel like sometimes I can't resist the temptation arising from the bed and I will fall asleep.And sometimes I will have to restrain myself from sleeping.So it is either too hot or can't resist the temptation to sleep from the bed,so it is very sad.

So i have devise a new method of studying,that is studying at the cafe.But sometimes the cafe is too crowded and noisy that makes me unable to study.So I can't study in my room or in the cafe,so could anybody please tell me where I should study???

I would personally suggest that air-conditioners to be installed in every student's room in Kolej Keris Mas.This will definitely solve my problem eternally and it will also solve the major problem faced by all KKM's students.

Racing...

Entry 2

Time has passing so fast...and I just realize that I do not have much time to sit for the final exam. Mid-sem test was just finished and I wonder how will my result be.

Race race race...I have to compete with time in order to do all my assignment and revision. Now is the 7th week already, and I still could not adapt with the circumstances of study completely. We have to prepare and learned all the cases before hand and yet I still do not understand the content of the cases thoroughly. Therefore, every time when 'certain lecturer come into certain classes', I will try not to be the ones who being chosen by lecturer to be the 'story teller'. However I knew that I could not hiding behind the wall forever, thus I have to put more than enough effort to study and understand the cases. Times seems like not so 'co-operate' with me and keep making me rushing and rushing and at last make me exhausted of energy.

Tutorial has made my time more pack. I do not experience the study lifestyle as like this in secondary school. Usually I do have my bedtime at 11 something but when I at here, my brain seems like have to work 24 hours. This has realized me that my previous study method could not impose starting from now and I have to do some 'research' on how to study...fortunately, I do found that the life I have right now quite interesting , and fulfilled my life.

Malaysian Legal System

I had read a book which the title is an Introduction to Malaysian Legal System...
The author for this book is Kemayan...The book is about the history of Malaysian Legal System from the Malacca Sultanate until today...

This book is quite interesting because I can know a lot of things that happen during the Malacca Sultanate...
It tells me how was the administration during that time...

After the Malacca Sultanate, Malaysia had been conquer by the Portuguese, Holland, and British....
I can see the difference between the way they administered our country....
They had introduced their law and administration....

For example during British time, they had divide our country into three part which is known as Strait Settlements, Federated States and unfederated States....

That's all I can tell about the book that I had read....
If you want to know more, you can get this book from the shop that available.....
Thank you....

The Secret

Entry 2

The Secret

Being an undergraduate student in university,not only i do attend some lecture classes,but also i do joining some extra curriculum activities.Book sharing session of “The Secret” is part of my learning experience in this week.Written by Rhonda Byrne, widespreading popular interest for the Law of Attraction,accomplishing its peak,definitely “The Secret” is a 2006 cinematic release.

Claiming that by using Law of Attraction,all of us can become wealthier,happier and healthier in our life, “The Secret”is a book that presents what is claimed to be a centuries-old technique of the Law of Attraction.Revealing the most powerful law of the universe,explaining how everyone manage to use this law to create unlimited love,happiness,health and prosperity in their life, “The Secret” is everything we have dreamed of and now it is in our hands.

As we learned from Law of Attraction,thoughts are magnetic signals sent out by us into the universal.Whatever we think and feel today is creating our future.There are 3 simple steps that I desire to share which is ask,believe and receive in order to focusing on a condition that we wish to attain.Life isn’t about finding yourself,life is about creating yourself.Applying this powerful knowledge to our life in every area from health to wealth,to success and relationships,I believe our life can be more beautiful.

A speacial experiance...

Entry 2
Finally the mid semester test had over. It made ma feel so stress for the whole week. Everyone is talking about the test when they met. Study study and study. This is what i was doing for the last whole week. When the test over, i start to catch up with my other subjects homework especially bahasa arab. For me bahasa arad is quiet difficult to learn. First is the pronounciation, then we learnt how to write, and finally we have to combine all the words. It is really hard to learn a new language. I felt that i was a kindergarten kid who is learning abc. However it is very funny when you see the whole class trying hard to make their pronounciation right. Alif, ba, ta, tsa... it took me a long time to remember all the alphabets for bahasa arab. When we started to learn writing, it is a new task for me as i am a slow learner. For me, all the words are like ‘tauge’. I really cannot differentiate them when they are combined. I was impressesd by some of my friends. Learning a new language seems to be very easy for them. They can easily reconised the words when the lecturer wrote them out. I really have to pay more hard effort on it. Hope that i will become an expert in bahasa arad one day. (may be in the dream.. haha )

first i entered ukm, i feel so boring and doesnt like ukm that much like my previous school before.. but as time flys by, i realized that i love ukm..
i really gratefull to be i ukm...
now, what i think before i entered into ukm was nothing like before..
it have knocked my first opinion down.. and i mean really down..
i hope for the better for my life here and nevertheless for my studies and education as well as mu suksis..
help me, guide me...
hmmm

dreams come true

First time, i saw the letter from UKm, i'm very suprised.
it's my dream to further my study in Ukm..
especially in Law....
during the orientation week, i feel very lost becoz
i just relize that my faculty is very far away....
for almost 4 weeks i strugle waiting for the bus
and at last my dad dend a car for me...
what a relief...haha
now, i can go to class easily
now, about study...
my dad warn me about the pointer..
i need to strugle now,
i dont want to make my parents
dissapointed again..
i can feel that my future is become brighten and brighten
huhu
now, i dont want to think about anything more
i juz want to concentrate in my study
and make my parents proud
pray for me.....

~~KNOCK ME DOWN~~

Honestly, there is nothing different in UKM except for its scenery.

My first expression towards UKM are:

1. It's such a wide,big university.


2. Feel like I am in a jungle, stucked in the middle with all those monkeys.


3. Quite boring here.


4. If I want to go anywhere, I have to think twice--( if the place is too far away)


5. My faculty is beautiful and well-structured.


6. I don't like the senior..hahaha

Somehow, after fews weeks here, I had try to adapt myself into the current surrounding. UKM is a perfect place to study and try to achieve your dreams. It have all those facilities including free wifi, convenient library and many more... It is really hard to believe, but I love being here. But, only half of me is here, another part is in another place.

I found something special here...

I never thought I’d… be in love like this

When I look at you my mind goes on a trip

And you came in… and knocked me on my face

Feels like in I’m a race

But I already won first place

I never thought I’d… fall for you as hard as I did

You got me thinkin about our house and kids

Every moment I look at you and smile

Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down… knocked me down

Nevertheless, UKM IS MY PLACE NOW!

heRE We gO!!!!

When I received the offered letter from UKM, I was shocked because I had been offered to the one of the best university in Malaysia.....

UKM also known as National University of Malaysia was build because of the people....It is university for the people in Malaysia....This university was build because of the request from the people because they think that it is necessary to have one university for citizen in Malaysia.....

When I came for the registration, the situation of that day was very crowded with the new students that came to register with their parents....I can see that this university was really big....

Before I enter here, I studied at Uitm during my foundation......

My faculty is very far from my college....I have to wait for the bus and also fight with the other students to get into the bus.....This make me not satisfied with the management of the bus....

I feel that the number of bus should be added for the satisfaction of students.....

I also feel dissappointed because my faculty is very far.....If I missed the bus, I will be late for the class....For the the other thing, I think that it is okay.....I only dissappointed with the services of the bus.....

That's all.......

Thank u......

love vs education..

love vs education??

which one is more important to all of you??this issue always make people especially students like us become confius...your heart says love is important but your mind says education is more important..so..which one is really important??

for me..both are important to me..why??this is because education give a bright future but love give spirit...

many people say that love during study is only wasting time,

yes..its true..it can waste your time if you cannot manage your time well and cannot divide between personal and professional..it will waste your time if you always with her or him..have a dating with him all the time..eat with him..study with him..waiting for a bus also with him..that will make your time waste.. why i said this because when you are always with him,you cannot focus on anything else..some couple say they study together at library..but the question is..is it true you are studying with him??ask yourself what is the input you get when you are studying with him..

is it more then output or less than it??

if it is more..then you are considered as a great couple..but if it less..my advice is stay away from him for a while when you want to study..or else you will not get your degree with excellent result..

but it is different if you can leave him for a while to get a better situation for your study..you can give 100% attention to your books ...

then..after your cpu are full with all the heavy information..you can have a date with him..so that you can release your tension...

couple does not mean you have to stay and do everything with him..you have to be clever if you want to have a love relationship with someone..manage your time well and divide between personal matter and your study..

one more important thing in couple during study is..do not bring you problem in love in your study especially when the exam is just around the corner..throw it far far away from you..

my last word is..love and education can be both important in your life if you can differentiates between rights and wrong in the relationship.. :-)

my english is not good..huhu..

Hello UKM!!

Hello everyone! It seems like this is my first time writing about my life here.. =) First of all, i would like to congratulates each of you for being accepted to read law in ukm..a little about me, my name is Afiq Nazrin and i am from Universiti Teknologi Mara, taking the Foundation of Law M.O.H.E as my qualification to be here..

Why do i choose law and ukm as my study centre? Frankly, i am not into law in the first place because i hate READING and i makes reading as my 'sleeping pills'.hahaha!! when i was young, i have two ambitions that i loved so much that are pilot and army officer..but since my spm physics result was totally disappointing, i choose law because i think i can do well in reading and fact subjects..plus, my whole family members graduated in law and i think i have the responsibilities to continue my family's 'heritage'.

Being here, in ukm was very fresh for me..i adapt with the social living here rapidly and i have make many new friends instead of my colleagues from UiTM..as usual, reading law was not easy as other people thoughts 'alaa, ko baca je semua pastu jawab je laa..benda benda common je pun'.stop it guys! i bet you will pull back your words if you were in my place..hahaha!

Days have passed and the Sukan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (SUKEM) will started in few days..i have been selected as the manager and the athlete for rugby, representing kolej Keris Mas. KERIS MAS!!! 'ALRIGHT!!!' hahaha..i love rugby very much and just want to add that i am the Secretary General for UKM Rugby Club for this session and as the player itself..

overall, i feel very happy and excited and amused and enjoyed myself to be here..the people were great and all of my lecturers were sweet and very understanding.i hope that along four years staying here, would be the years that cant be counted and every single moments in ukm would be my precious memories forever.

XoXoX

Everyone has their own story to tell...

it is been a very long time i didnt sit down quietly,having a cup of hot tea,and making a confession to my own feeling.....
i loved to sat down and thought and dreamt about everythings which may means pointless and vacuity to the others...But ,not for NOW.
it is not that i do not want to do it,but it is that i do not dare to do so....
each time i being honest to myself ,i would start non-stop crying...
i believe everyone has their own story to tell...eventhough everyone seemed to be happy,busy and hectic but i believe we have our own feeling....which rooted deeply inside our heart......
i miss my family,i miss my friends,i miss my students....
i still remember vividly,the first night i was in UKM,i could not sleep,and weeped in the dark untill day light...i never leave my house for so long...and NEVER try the feeling of 'distance'.....
as i was growing up in a traditional chinese family,my parents never show their love to me by saying ' i love you',or hugging or kissing.once a while when my dad hold my hand when crossing a busy road,we both would feel weird.they never show their love and concern through their gestures...
but,the day my family sent me too UKM,my dad hugged me when he left....my eyes were red and watery...but i could not cry before them....
he said "if you are stress and could not cope with your study,come back....Let me see you and let me dote on you"....
In a blink of an eye,i am already in the mid-semester,although life is hard....i didnt regret to choose LAW as my field.i do not know what i would be in the future,but to me,study law is to protect my family.something happened in my family members(concern about law issue)last few years,i do not want something similar to be happened again....i do not want the feeling of nervous,helpless,afraid and worry to appear again as we do not know the right we have....
Although i know read law is hard,and it would be harder and harder in the coming semesters,i would strive to the end.....
let us appreciate how fortunate we are to still be here on this earth and to be surrounded by the ones we hold dear...we never know what the next year,next month,next day,next minute or next second will bring,But,we shall always remain fortunate for what we posess now......
i believe,..Everyone has their own story to tell..............



LIM FUI YEN

me, myself and I...

During the semester break, while waiting the answer from UPU, whether I surpass the limit to further my study in law. I spend rest of my free time serving my beloved family. Daniel!! My name repeatedly been called, either from my sibling or my mother. Every morning, I'll take both of my sisters to school, while at noon I'll go and fetch them right after sending my mother to school, as she works there as a teacher. On evening, before our family have dinner, I'll pick up my mother from school. While at night my fellow friends, after maghrib, i would need to send my sister to tuition. That's my routine everyday. Every weekend, I'll spend my time with my mom by helping her to buy groceries and food for our family for the rest of upcoming weekdays. Although it did not sound fun, I am glad that I can lend my shoulder on helping my mother.

After knowing that I'm furthering my study at UKM, I've been thinking, whose going to help my mother with all the houseworks?Thank god, my elder brother had finished his study in archeology at University Malaysia Sabah. Now, his name were the one repeatedly been called at home. Here, at UKM, I met a lot of old friends from UiTM Shah Alam when I first did my foundation in law.There are also new friends such as Ng Kee Way, Sapawi, Kirubini and many more! I did not feel awkward learning with them and I sincerely admit that I feel comfortable learning with them. Lingering with friends make me feel happy and survive without family near by my side. I'm trying all my best to adapt towards this university life. Correct me if I'm wrong guys. :)

enjoy this lyric..its for you guys.. :))

You Rock My World lyrics

You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give (You rocked my world)
There is love you'll need to find
The one that you call mine (You rocked my world)

You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
There is love you'll need to find
The one that you call mine (You rocked my world)

In time I knew that love would bring
This happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I waited patiently

Girl, you know it seems
My life is so complete
A love that's true because of you
Keep doing what you do

Oh, oh, oh, oh, who'd think that I (Oh)
Have finally found the perfect love I searched for all
my life (Searched for all my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who'd think I'd find
(Whoa...oh...oh...)
Such a perfect love that's so right

You rocked my world, you know you did (Come on, come
on, come on, come on)
And everything I own I give
There is love you'll need to find
The one that you call mine (You rocked my world)

You rocked my world (You rocked my world), you know
you did
And everything I own I give (Girl, girl, girl)
There is love you'll need to find
The one that you call mine (You rocked my world)

You rocked my world, you know you did (Oh)
And everything I own I give (You rocked my world)
There is love you'll need to find
The one that you call mine (You rocked my world)

You rocked my world (Oh...), you know you did
And everything I own I give (To rock my world)
There is love you'll need to find
The one that you call mine (You rocked my world)

Girl, I know that this is love
I felt the magic all in the air
And girl, I'll never get enough
That's why I always have to have you here, hoo

You rocked my world (You rocked my world), you know
you did
And everything I own I give (Look what you did to
me, baby, yeah)
There is love you'll need to find
The one that you call mine (You rocked my world)

You rocked my world, you know you did (Know you did,
baby)
And everything I own I give ('Cause you rocked my
world)
There is love you'll need to find (Hoo, hoo)
The one that you call mine

(You rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did
(The way you talk to me, the way you're lovin' me)
(The way you give it to me)

You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
There is love you'll need to find
The one that you call mine

ME AGAINST THE TIME!!!

24 hours a day. Wake up early at 6.30am (only if I have morning classes started at 8.00am p/s: especially the English for Law classes for every Tuesday and Thursday). I started my day praying and hope that today will be much better than yesterday. I prepared myself and make my way to the faculty. I enjoyed the rest of the day by attending classes and focussed on what my lecturer teach. Usually at 5 or 6pm I make my way back to the college and have a dinner. At 8pm, I will revise on topics of what I have learned for today and prepared for classes on the next day. At 12pm sharp, I am really sure that I have closed my eyes and enjoyed my bedtime till to 6.30am (when the same routine will happened again).

However that routine was last only at the second weeks of my days at UKM. Then a chaos happened, when I lost control over my time management and all things seem to be a little difficult than usual. I found myself really difficult to wake up early in the morning. My day still starts at 6.30am but I just wake up, blink my eyes, looking at my roommate bed (still sleeping as he did not have morning class) and then I found myself was sleeping again until I noticed that I will be late for the class. That the reason why sometimes I am late for the class. (I am really sorry Pn Nuretna J ). But sometimes I have my own reason for being late, for example I have to go for an appointment with my doctor or stucked in a traffic jam while on the way to UKM. But for sure I will try to counter this problem as I am not really comfortable when my beloved lecturers looking at me with not-happy-face...huhu

I can still catch up my studies even though I am late for the class as I have my own principle “better late than never been there”. Here I would like to share an inspirational song that I always sing whenever I am on my way to the class (during the late time or hectic time la...).

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

THE LATE CASE,

CRUCIAL CASE
