New Day, New Hope

Recently, I am rushing for so many due date in my uni-life.

Rushing homework, assignment, and the most important my Final Year Project (FYP) is not easy.
I feel that my time is always not enough. When my living lifestyle is now all about the works, I realized that I have lost my soul. I lost my confident on my job. I noticed that my efficiency is dropped and I need more time to my jobs. Slowly, I forced myself to sleep less and do my work more. However, the time is still not enough. So how? I have no choice but to steal the eating time.

Two months passed and I noticed that this isn't sound right. I lived just like a zombie. Uni-Life shouldn't be like this. Then, I decided to change.

Everyone owned a 24-hour per day. Some can have their wonderful time in the university, but some experience the worst life during the uni-life like what I did. I started to do research on how people can live so optimized and they look so worry-free?

When I study on this issue, I then notice that our personal view point is important. Your life is determined by your own, not others. The work can't lock who you want to be yourself, but you could decide on how you want to do your work.

Therefore, to have a new life in my uni-life, I have to change. I have to change my mindset first, then my personal living style. I have to believe on me that I can do things more efficient.

New hope and new mindset is the key to live positively. Therefore, everyday I wake up, I am telling myself today is a new day, today is my new hope also. I choose to live in a positive lifestyle. I love to be positive.

My Interview Experince

As an university student, I have to go through a process which is so-called the Industry Training (LI).

I applied for Genting Malaysia Berhad's Human Resource Department for my Industry training. To look for a training at Genting, I must first go through an interview process. I was requested to have a face-to-face interview in Genting Highland, Pahang Malaysia.

When I got to know I have to fly back to Genting, I feel shocked and feel hard to decide either I want to fly back or not. This is a difficult time for me to make the decision either to fly or to reject the request. I am still a student and I really have not much money to do so.

Then, I called home. My mother feel disagree for me to fly back at the first place but later, she told me if I really have to go back, I am welcome to do so and she is willing to give me the financial support. At that movement, I am happy and excited.

In the whole journey of the interview trip, I feel tied actually. Everything have to be so rush.

Finally, the interview time reached. At that movement, I felt nervous. My appointment for the interview is arranged in the afternoon and to avoid being late, I actually reached at Genting Highland around ten in the morning. I went to a restaurant to wait for the time actually.

When the clock showed 11:35am, then I braved myself to the interview. I reached the door of the Human Resource Department in Genting Highland. At that movement, I told myself have to calm down. Then I pushed the door open and seek for the person in charge. I was brought to a room later to have the interview section. In the interview section, I keep telling myself in my mind that I have to do the best. I have no chance to lose this job since there is not enough time for me to look for another company.

The interview section took more than an hour and it finally come to an end. The interviewer told me that I have to wait for the following week to know the result. So, that is my process of the internship program interview.

In the interview, I shared my experience of doing activities in the universities and I shared the working experience for my previous jobs. What I found out in the interview is I have to be very confident.

To know either I am being taken by the company or not, I have to wait. God bless me.

WOW!!! "Obama is coming~ to town"

United State (US) President Barack Obama is coming to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in the end of April 2014.

There has been a long time that US President didn't visiting Malaysia. The first thing come across my mind, for sure is feeling extremely happy.

However, I am thinking that is Malaysia ready for the President visiting?
As read the article online, I knew that Obama is not only visiting Malaysia but also others counties around Asia including Korea, China, Japan and others.

The President will visit few places in Kuala Lumpur but is those places which can achieve international standard? I am wondering. For me , I sincerely thought that Malaysia still have a space of improvements that can lead us to a better advanced country.

As a Malaysian, of course I knew that I have to place the confident to the country's authorities that they will do their best. However, I just simply want to know that those facilities or those person in charge can tell us that they can serve the President well with the international standard. By placing my hope, I hope that what Malaysia can provide to the President could be better than the other's countries.

Also, according to the New Straits Times (Malaysia Newspaper), the police will not have major road block but some of the city's golden triangle's road will be closed. Well, if familiar with the town's traffic, heavy traffic jam will happen in our town already.

Nevertheless, I also read that Obama will visit the Malaysia's oldest university, University of Malaya (UM). Then, I am thinking why not University Malaysia Sarawak? Just kidding. I am jealous for UM.

Anywhere, I feels good and exciting for the President's visit.

Like the song of "Santa Claus is coming~ to town",
I sing it as "Obama is coming~ to town"

Ready for KLIA2

Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) is built aside the KLIA and it is consider as the new centre of the low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT).

The creation of the KLIA2 is allowing 2 aircraft to land at the same time and the KLIA2 owned the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) by Malaysia Airports Holding Bhd. Also, KLIA2 has a 3 runway systems, the first of its kind in a low-cost carrier terminal in South-East Asia.

Also, ATCT is now claimed the tallest air control tower in the world with 141.9m above sea level, surpassing the Survarnabhumi International Airport ATCT Bangkok with the height of 130.3m.

While opening the news, KLIA2 is now the main focus of our country. According to the news, KLIA2 was being approved and got the international standards by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

Why I choose this news and wrote it in my blog? This is because I found that this news is interesting and it should be opened earlier. This new KLIA2 is opening on the coming May 2. As an oversea students, I will soon to use this new airport.

Before the KLIA2 is using, I found that the differences between the KLIA and the LCCT is huge. KLIA is so classed but if compare with KLIA, LCCT really seem like the low cost internal airport.

I haven't used and haven't been to KLIA2 yet, but my expectation toward the KLIA2 is high. My semester will ended at the end of June and I will fly back to Kuala Lumpur by using KLIA2. Hope the new airport could bring the different experience to me during my landing at the KLIA2. 

Vacation In Sabah

During mid-semester break, I decided to have my vacation in Sabah and to relax my mindset.

This is a personal experience for me and I just simply wanted to record my memories during Sabah. My vacation was on 9th April 2014 until 11 April 2014. 

This vacation is organised by my friends and it has been planed since the January of 2014.
At that time, due to the unconfirmed of some academic activities, I have not responding to my friend either I wanted to join or not. Two week before this vacation, then I booked my flight and let my friends know that I am joining.

I went to Sabah with my friends as backpacker tourists in Kota Kinabalu (KK), Sabah, Malaysia. The trip supposed to be 4days 3nights, but I am joining for only 3days 2nights. I left KK earlier due to having activities on the Kor SUKSIS, one of the academic society in university.

In this trip, I feel great, I feel awesome, and I feel relax able. The first day arrived in KK, after checked in the motel, we went for the food hunting by walking here and there until midnight. This is a great experience for me.

The next day, we went to the floral visiting. We went to the Kundasang, which is a mountain which allowed us to see the mount Kinabalu, the great mount in South-East Asia. We went to the jungle tracking, the waterfall, the bottom of the Mount Kinabalu as well. Also, we did visited the Cow Farm named Desa Dairy Farm in Kundasang.

In this farm, I have the chance to see how the milk is taken out by the machine. When I reached here, yes, the smell is so bad, but the view of this place make me have a feel that I reached New Zealand. The temperature there is cold, and I love the temperature there.

In the night time, again, we went to the KK town and by using our legs, we did walked for hours in the town as what the backpacker do.

Time fly fast. In the 3rd day, we went for the nearby 3 islands nearby Kota Kinabalu for snorkelling.
I saw the sea is so clear until we can see fish before we reached the beach. Fish, Corals are so beautiful and colourful.

The happiness in this activities is unable to be described by words. I really enjoy the snorkelling.

 
 Caption: The beach is beautiful. Thanks for my friends to took these photos.

Well, the photo below can show how clear the sea water is. I love this view very much.

Days in Sabah is fantastic. Vacation can really make my mood turn better. After all, my skin got faced problem, which is I have the sun burn after this vacation and it make my skin feel pain for days. But I felt great and I miss those days in Sabah. 

Take a break, take a breath.

When arrived the end of April, my mind almost break out.

I just wondering why, there is so many deadline and due date falls at the end of April.
Academic activities is making me so stress and that is too heavy for me to take this semester.

First, I was wondering is that only happen to me? After having a small "research", I found out that my course mate is having similar situation as I do. Some of my friends even skip the class not because of they are lazy, but they are rushing others due date.

Then I started wondering again. Why university life have to be so stress?

In my mindset, people do enjoy their life in university. Is that their time management is better than us?

One day, I met a new friend online. He is studying university also. What I learned from him is, university is a place for studies. Main focus in university is to get the knowledge. People do complain too much.

Every one life is the same. We all owned 24 hours a day. Therefore, how we want our life to be is important. When we are too stress, the take a break and take a breath. Rest is to go further.

Yes, he is right. We have to be optimise. We all own our own life. To make our life energized or make our life suffered, is not depending to others. We have the power of making decision on how we want to be.

When we feel everything is not right, don't too rush for it. Take a break, take a breath, then we continue the fighting. 

Study for result? Or what???

3In Malaysia today, we go school.
Alright, of course, we have to study.

If we pay enough attention on the education system in Malaysia, we noticed that the society judge someone intelligence based on the result.

Here comes the question, is the result represent everything? Children is sent to school for studies, however, children are sent to tuition centre for a better result too. Is the knowledge judge just based on results? Is results really means everything?

For me this is an issue, an important issue. If the society pay their judgement based only on results, then the education system is going wrong.

Go back to the basic of education. Why we do study? Do we study for knowledge?

Yes, never to deny that examination is a test for your knowledge understanding, but result of examination could not equal someone's knowledge in the current Malaysia education system.

In today's Malaysian education system, students focus too much on the examination. We could see there is a lot of people study for the exam, even some of the students got tips for the exam. Is this really could test the students understanding? No, they are just remember the answer if they got the tips.

Also, some tuition centre offers the spot of the exam tips rather than focus on the student understanding of knowledge. They aim for how to score and how the techniques to score, not the understanding.

Besides, the education focus too much on the theoretical input rather than the practical. Students learn no soft skills in school. Students are trained to be a studies machine.

Some people, they could understand well the knowledge of what is written in books, but they are poor in how to express it through words. Some people are good in writing, but when the problem really exist, they could do nothing. Some are good in memorising all the words in the books, and when the questions changed a little bit, they will tell you the knowledge is not recorded in the books. People who can score well in the examination, in the real world, not means that he can score well in who he really is.

Therefore, examination is a test for your knowledge, but the result of the examination not equal how smart a person is.

For me, education system in Malaysia should have an evolution. There is a lot of improvement could be applied. I still feel hopes that Malaysia education system could move a big step forward.

In a nutshell, what really is the knowledge? Is knowledge just a test for how well your power of memorised could be?

Let's think about it.
