After celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri,i’ve to return to UKM after a week of study break.there are a lot of assignments waiting to be prepared thoroughly and have to be presented in week 12 to 14. All these assignments are in group work and i thought it would be quite hard to get full commitment from other group members but i’m so fortunate to have all commited group members.I guess i got to put more effort in this week to ensure that those assignments will run smoothly.i’ve never been in busy situation before maybe i got o get myself busy from now on.

What a great escape. (Actually it was a bittest ever journey)

I am writing this blog while I am on my way back to Kuala Lumpur from my lovely charming hometown, Kota Bharu, Kelantan. So many car and so many peoples on the road make my head feels so dizzy and start to asking how was the government of Kelantan especially the leadership of our respectful Dato’ Nik Aziz handle on the fast development of Islamic City of Kota Bharu. Traffic jams are everywhere, from the main roads even to the remote village’s roads. This is not happening for the first time. You can expect when each time there are school holiday especially during the Hari Raya, the roads in Kelantan were undoubtedly will be filled with thousand of car that you cannot think where does all this cars comes from. I clearly can see from my right and left windows different number’s plate of the cars. What I can tell that the traffic jams in Kota Bharu are even worst compared to Kuala Lumpur. Can you imagine a one hour trip can suddenly changed to 3 or 4 hours trip just because of traffic jam? I myself had experienced that moment when I was on my way back to my house from one of my best friend’s open house in Tanah Merah. In normal day it only takes 45 to 60 minutes to reach there from my house in Kota Bharu but in Hari Raya time it changed to 2 hours! If my experience about the traffic jam is still meaningless for you or you had experienced that before (maybe worst than me), I will tell another story that have happened to me during this Hari Raya’s break. It is only a 45 kilometers and about one hour journey from my house in Kota Bharu to Kuala Krai in a normal day but this time it takes 3 hours for me sitting at the back with the cars speeding around 15-20 kmp/h only! With the high temperature outside makes me who is sitting at the back feel like in a microwave and this is happening during the time I was typing this blog. If you think that this is cool or something usual, I would say that you are out of your mind.haha..
What I can say here is that the government of Kelantan needs to do something about this matter. When the time Hari Raya comes, all the Kelantan’s peoples will suffer in traffic jam. First of all, the roads have to be broadened and the flows of the traffic have to be managed systematically. For the reader information, the roads in Kelantan are only available in single lane/way road, different in many other states that their roads are mostly in two lanes. There are no single number of highway in Kelantan that made the traffic even worst and cannot move easily. Even me (the origin peoples of Kelantan also get confused with the traffic in Kota Bharu). But at the same time we cannot put the problem only on the state government. As the state government do not have enough budgets to enhance the traffic structure. Even to repair a damaged road it will take time to a month for the authorities to do something or the people of Kelantan have to wait for the nearest election then their voice will be heard, especially for the villagers. I would like to share something with the readers some information that have been hidden by the central government for almost 5 years ago. If you had come to Kelantan within this year you would probably found so-many signboard telling that Kelantan is the one of the oil and gas producer. (I am not sure whether this is true or not but from what I have heard, the petroleum had been found in Tumpat, Kelantan but then the central government said that the oil does not belong to Kelantan as it has become a disputation between the state government of Kelantan and also the Government of Thailand who had claim that the oil was in their territory.). But if this is true, it would some sort of discrimination and abuse of right for the people in Kelantan. The central government should take over or handle the argument between the state government of Kelantan and Government of Thailand as it is an international disputation. (The same way like the federal government takes part in a mission to get the Pulau Batu Putih in Johor even though the argument was between the state government of Johor and the Government of Singapore). In my opinion, if it is true that Kelantan owned the petroleum (like its neighbor do, Terengganu) the Kelantanese would be very happy and the development of the state will become more healthier thus the state government can use the money from the profit to improve the traffic and enhance the roads into two lanes or maybe changed all of them into a highway.
Back to the situation of traffic in Kelantan during Hari raya time. It is true that is a common thing when hari raya comes, people’s excitement to celebrate hari raya in hometown will arise. So, in other perspective, whether we want it or not we all have to accept the dilemma of traffic jam during the Hari raya especially for the people in Kelantan.
But in my own opinion (truly deep in my heart), I would say that this problem of unsystematically traffic should not be happened when the Hari Raya comes. As I think when there is improper management on the roads, it will bring bigger problem for the users of the traffics. For example, the drivers will easily become impatient (because they had stucked/stranded in the traffic for hours) and start to drive-like-crazy thus and accident could be happened.
As a conclusion, in what-so-ever problems or difficulties during this Hari Raya, my family and I had enjoyed much of our best moments. It is normal to be stucked in the traffic especially when all people back to their hometown. As for me, the biggest challenge is the time when I arrive at Kuala Lumpur, when the time that I have to face the week of challenges where I have to face the PBL’s presentation weeks. That’s all. Thank you~

~busy week~

This week is very busy, not for me only but for the all students. we need to prepare for the PBL....so tired, many works need to finish up within this week..... the discussion, video and the other things. as addition, i also need to prepare for my it's presentation. i'm the leader for the it's group....for the whole week, i need to stay up to make thing works. luckily, i manage to do it......all my group members give whole support and full commitment.however, i could not make it.....my father call me a day before my presentation, telling me that my grandfather is sick.

What Can I Do?

Entry 3

What Can I Do?

Hearing the song of “What can I do” by The Corrs,my heart suddenly seemed started to lost.Lost in the sense of direction,mission,…etc.Where are we heading to?This is the question always on my mind after all these time we have been gone through.

“That is something wrong with this badge of students.”,this is one of the critics from lectures towards us.As they keep on reprimanding, condemning about our attitude of learning,I am wondering what else can we all do to enhance our qualities of learning.No matter what happen here,one things for sure that I know is we will try our best to not ever let our lectures down.

Furthermore,when I heard lecture saying that “come on guys,show us that we are wrong at this time on selecting this badge’s students”,my heart is in sorrow.Sorrow is not in the sense that I am annoyed when I heard these kinds of statements,but deep inside my heart I am clearly understand we might have disappoint our lecture.

“Over the past few years,I never see students do like this before.” In order to avoid these kinds of statements coming out again,hopefully all of us will work out something at the coming moments for the greatest gift for all of our lectures in the celebration of Hari Raya Aidilfitri.As the saying goes,"We do our best and let the god do the rest",sincerely I wish all the critics can inspire myself to be a better law student.

ENTRY THREE

I am now typing this at the comforts of my home back in Taiping. Suddenly everything seems heavenly – the bed, tiled flooring, television, driving, grapes, soup, sleeping, everything.

Like I said, a few blinks of an eye and we’re done with our first semester syllabus. Three more weeks of assignments and presentations, one week of study break, three weeks of exams and we’re done with semester 1. Damn that supersonic hybrid nuclear-powered jet plane called time!

Reflecting back on the past week, I would like to thank the members of my MLS PBL group for their commitment and hard work during the shooting of our PBL video. You know who you are. It was a first time for me directing a video, not a big budget motion picture video but a video nonetheless. We were running all over UKM at night to shoot the video, from dark streets to parking lots. It was really like a Spielberg shooting, from backup lightings to car chases to special effects. That experience was really fun, it thought us a lot and brought us closer as team members. As for me, I have had a passion for photography and expression of art since high school, so it was really pleasing to hear my friends saying that the shots of the video were good when they saw clips of them. But somehow I still felt that we could have done more to make the video better. Well, there’s always next time.

Tomorrow is the beginning of Syawal, will be invading my friends’ houses for lemang and rendang throughout the week starting tomorrow.

I would like to wish all my muslim friends a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. I would also like to wish everybody Happy Holidays. And to the kiasus and kiasis of the First Year, happy studying your brains out!!!

But...i couldn't change the world,i can not run away from the real life....FACE IT!be brave...i believe i will and i can.....everyone can....and everyone 'kampateh'!!!

CALM SEA WONT MAKE A SKILLFULL SAILORS

I should be grateful to have this one week holiday.....to come back to my beloved hometown....

Problem-Based Learning(PBL).....

3rd Entry

Today is Saturday,I have been coming back from UKM to my hometown for 2 days.I still have 8 days left for me to enjoy,but unfortunately there are too many obstacles.I do not intend to exaggerate,but that are too many things for us to do.'US' here refers to all first year student of UKM Law Faculty. I believe all of them will agree with me that we are all in the similar predicament. Why would I say that?I would explain it in the next paragraph.

After Hari Raya,we have several vital tasks ahead.We would have to present our Contract PBL,Constitution PBL and MLS(Malaysian Legal System)PBL,PBL here refers to Problem-Based Learning,which means we are given a task by each of our 3 core subjects lecturers,then we have to try to solve it in a group,which means this is a group task.

As each of us is given a task to perform in that group,I am also included.I am in the 12th group of the Contrat PBL and I am bestowed upon a task as the respondent's counsel,and we are going to perform our task in a moot court,which means we are going to present it like real lawyers,but of course,the whole process would not be as professional as them!This is the first time I am doing this thing and I am so nervous and happy.The nervous part is that I have not been exposed to this kind of stuff before because I was a STPM student.The happy part is that I get a chance to present a case like a real lawyer in the first year,for me that would definitely be a marvellous, impeccable and outstanding experience.But life is not a bed of roses,before we march into the 'court',there are still many preparations await us.We have to find cases to substantiate our arguement,we have to photocopy them. We also have to get authorities from other sources as well,such as books or articles,and the list goes on.I would say this is a transition period from secondary-style education at Form 6 to tertiary education in UKM!That's a really big difference that I could perceive,but I believe I will get used to it gradually.

For the Constitution PBL,we are doing the similar thing like PBL Contract.But for the MLS PBL,we are doing in a different way,we are doing video shooting which I think is very interesting and educational.We have to pick a case and we are going to react the case,which means that we are going to make a video based on the happenings of the case.We have our own roles in the video and we are actors within the video.I personally think this is an interactive learning because we got to learn a lot of things throughout the whole process.We got to learn to communicate well with teammates,learned interacting skills and mooting skills as well.After all,it was a wonderful learning experience.

As a conclusion,I enjoy every moment of my life in UKM,but I have to gradually get used to this hectic lifestyle.

Happy Holiday!!!

Selamat hari raya and happy holiday!! Finally can go back to my hometown (although I had went back three weeks ago.) It was so tiring and boring for the last three weeks as I had been waiting to go back since the moment I reach UKM. Tire because there were a lot of assignments need to be settled before the holiday and boring because my life was full with study, study and study. I learned a lot of things in the process of completing my assignment. Teamwork is very important. We cannot complete a work without the help from others. With the cooperation from others, we can complete the assignment in a short while. If not it will burden us. We need to complete his or her part ourselves. So it is very important for us to choose a good partner. Hope that I can complete my others assignment with peaceful mood and there would not be any more argument for the other discussion.

happy or not

while writing this post ,im listening to raya song.It is very sentimental and remembering me to my hometown and my beloved parent. But that was not the issues here. I want to tell everyone that im not very happy toward raya celebration this year. It is not because I didnt have any raya clothes or else but it is because im so worried about oul PBL(problem based learning) assignment especially PBL contract and Malaysian Constitution. The question is problematic and very confusing. It also have the topic of next sem. Very confusing and hard to answer. Luckily Prof Sakina has given me some tips when I meeting her last tuesday. But it not enough, I have to ask help from the senior . Still lucky ,my college senior Muhammad Faiz Zahadi there to help me. He giving me advice how to approch the question, how to react in the moot court, etc. Without his help maybe I now is one of the suicide statistic. Allah still love me, praise to lord.
but im still not happy. It is because I dont put much effort in studying for the final exam. But maybe after this raya break I can put more effort in reading more cases,memorising it and answering past year question.May God help me so.

The Week of Death

The week is getting near,it's the week where each and every person in this world who is called a student are fear about.It's the examination week.Just one from the examination,we get two samples of past year papers.Both looks hard and I am thinking how about this time.Like or not, happy or sad,yes or no, the time will come and I got to pass through it.So,what I do is just to try my best to do the exercises in the class.On this same week we also get a piece of mind from our lecturer.She so angry that my class did not post our writing in the blog.Wow not bad,she look calm but have the power to shake the whole world I think.The whole class remain quite as it had come to the end of the world day.

Times keep on running without a moment of mercy to anybody.So the examination day arrived.I woke up early,just to make sure that I am not late.Late means problem and problem means death.Just not to take the risk,I went early on that day. Incredible the lecturer enter the class sharp on 8am.Lucky for the others she is kind hearted and wait for about 15 minutes for others.Now it will began just in 15 minutes and I am thinking on how difficult is the question. Cheating or copying? No,it just out of mind to do that.Get caught and its end of the day.

Finally the time had began.I am so and so relief that it is not very difficult as I taught but not difficult doesn't means it's easy.There no such things of easy in exam.If it's easy then just call it an exercise.So as usual time never give mercy and it's always an enemy for everybody in this entire world.Ting,tong times up and I still have some question where I am not very sure about the answer.Whatever,I just make sure there is no question without any answer and just fill up the empty spaces with whatever I am thinking of that moment as the basic rule state "if there is questions,then there is answers."So it's just I have done.After passing up the answer sheet the lecturer ask about the ranking of the question and finally called it a day.

So,it's end for the mid semester exam but for sure it's not the end of the exam.The result will be known next week after the holiday.Only God and the lecturer know whatever my mark is.Good or bad,it's not the end of world,live have to get moving.So just let it move.

Critical moment

Day after day, the moment we are waiting for is just around the corner. It might be Hari Raya, holidays..etc..but it is actually the week for Problem Based Learning (PBL). I thought I can lay my burden down after the last of all those tutorials, but PBL is a heavier burden that I am going to carry.
There are many other assignments I am going to do. I hope i can have more than 24 hours a day, or I can sleep less than maybe 4 hours a day. At this time, I am totally lack of sleep. I found out that time management is not work at all. My time is not flexible and everything come unexpected. I have to deal with many tasks at the same time. Although I have many group members together with me, but everyone seems to be frustrated with the tasks given. We must find the solution.
We have been divided into groups and we have different of races and gender in a group. I found out that conflicts always occur among people when they work together. This is not the matter of different races, gender, background, etc..but it is because of lack of experiences, failed to tolerant with others, and the most important : emotional management and the respect to others. I understand that there might be someone you dislike and he or her is actually has a bad attitude, we still have to cooperate with them instead of criticize them. This is the time for us to learn to mingle with other people when we are going out to the society in the future. It is undeniable that conflict cannot be avoided. Even plants will fight against each others for the sunlight, minerals or something. No one can explain on this. The most proper way is be optimistic i think. One thing for sure is conflicts will affect our relationship and the progress of our tasks.
The final exam is coming soon and I have not started my revision yet due to those PBL assignments. Hopefully, we can all do our best in this critical moment.

JUST FOR FUN!

Busy......

Entry 3

Is the time passing faster and faster? Or my thinking is slower and slower? Why my schedule become pack and pack until I cant take a deep breath. How can I get off from this suffering so that I can having an ordinary life whereby I have enough time to rest, have enough time to have my dinner, even have enough time to take my wonderful shower. Just only 1 minutes I wish I could having it to refresh my mind.

Now I am wonder how can I handle all the things that are pending on me to settle it. What I talking about is not about academic, but is full of programme that I take part. E.g: Pesta tanglung, family day, jaksa, and so on..... Can I just leave it and assume nothing happen? I'm regret on why I want to taking part in so many activities. Why I do not plan it properly since I have registered on it. I have been so busy in my law subject and I cant even manage it well. Now the present of programme have made me worse . I do not even know what will my final result be if I still busy on those programme. Is that the university life that I want ? Busy....

Is my time management that I have not suitable? Do I have to plan again my schedule? Everytime when I have met any problem sure I will realize something that might enhance my performance . But now, time will be my first enemy where I only have limited time to do my unlimited tasks. I should arrange my timetable well in order to have ample time to complete my tasks even in studies. Desperation definitely will not be my way to overcome my problems, in fact, I should give my 100 % effort on it .

Therefore, I wish that I could finished all my activities in order to have enough time for me to do revision, and for me to rest as well. Now what I wish is that I can sleep early ......
