Getting 'A' in Seminar- Propose Mr. Syamsul

Recent family problems and assignment have caused me deeply shaken and moody. Just want to thank you all again for last night. I really forget my pain in my heart even only a few hours. I absolute love with you guys. All of you are very sporty and fun. Just forget about food which quite disappointed. Erm… that night my face hurts from laughing so much. Haha…this is difficult for me to describe my feeling about Mystery Masquerade Night, so write here has been a challenge. My poor words feel very small, compared to all that happen.

To be honest, I feel like disappointed with EDC’s food and service. I will explain what I’m eating and why has cause me from writing here. First, the meals provided are no fabulous and delicious. I like Malay food too, but the meals their served are disappointing because the meal looked so “pasar malam’ food. Second, previous we had attended the dinner at EDC, that day service is quite good. The desert and drink are allowed to refill. But at that day, many people were complained cannot enjoy the Tom Yam sup. Feel sorry to them… haha, luckily I still have opportunity to taste it…. Anyway, that is no a wrong of our AJK (I was AJK too). Haha.


Think about Mystery Masquerade Night, we had such a fun with Mr. Syamsul. Oh yes, before I forget, I want to tell you how lucky I am. A dinner party, it’s always good and fun if having the lucky draw session. However, I extremely lucky because I have been requested to propose the Mr. Syamsul to give “A” in final. Actually, there has no final for seminar course. Haha. Before that I also request Han Fei to propose Mr. Syamsul first. Don’t know she is a girl or guy. Really brave enough to propose in front of Mr. Syamsul’s wife. Give her applause. Anyway, I have a lot to be thankful for Mr. Syamsul because he promised to give “A” for seminar. Yappy! What a great dinner night! Thank you so much for all AJK, including me. Everything was outstanding and amazing. I can tell you that I really forget my pain in my heart. And the games were a riot. Now, I still am laughing thinking about that night.

Presentation -A hate relationship

Did I mention before that I hate presentations? T.T



Presentation Skill: Confidence
I have do lots of presentation in university and it frustrates me so much… I have strong hate relationship with presentation because my English too poor. Mr. Syamsul has said that to present will we must to be confidence. That is the key to speech in front. I strongly agree with that because my broken English cause me quite struggle and nervous when presentation. So, it presentation skill cannot work for me.

Presentation Skill: Relax
I’m always so anxious and struggling what to say and pretty damN nervous about it… Relax is other solution to present well. But, I dislike to be put in the spotlight where my friends will be on me. I am too afraid to make myself embarrassing. This is why I cannot to relax when presentation and hated every time I have to do a presentation. Erm.. May be HATE word is too strong! DISLIKE- I would say. Still, impossible to master relax skill.

But, I will try to practicing, pratising, and still pratising!!! Practice make perfect. I also try to memorized all presentation slides because as Mr. Syamsul said concentrate the material. I could have practice my gestures first. I can use more body and hand language as my friends present today. For me, they are to strong for me to BEAT them down.. wakakaka. Their presentation are quite great, especially Ting Wei and Xi Min. I see they were quite enjoying their presentation. JEOLOUS ON THEM! Anyway, I really enjoy you all presentation because I can do “observation” first before my turn. Let me be a COPYCAT. :D

To conclude, presentations are pretty great, actually. For rational side, presentation skills are quite important and need to master it. But for me, it still sucks because still feeling crappy.

Work or Master? Your Choice?

Do you have self-enhance by continue study? Or simply working until getting old? Your Choice? Today, help yourself by thinking about your future.


For me, I want to continue my study- MAsTeR! Today our dearest lecturer, Mr. Syamsul has invited Mr. Fitri and Miss Huda to give a short speech in our class. Both of them are Master students who have given a talk about their experience in research writing. In here, I just know why Mr. Syamsul asking us to write article in Seminar. At the beginning of semester, I just feel strange why Multimedia student need to do such assignment. Haha, now I am clear-headed that this is important for our future. Important knowledge and experience for those who want to pursue higher education- MASTER!

But, I have a question that I don’t brave enough to ask Mr. Fitri and Miss Huda. Can I change my course when taking Master? I want to study Master of Mandarin or Master of Mathematic. Can I? I think difficult to do so. Just want to ask can or not. But, dream still a dream. Help please.

Erm, our lecturer still doesn’t forget to give an awesome gift before end of the class. That awesome gift is our PRESENTATION. Oh my God. How can I do? However among those unfortunate, I still quite lucky because I not the one who need to present in First Round.




Gambateh my fellow friends.

WELL DONE!!!

Ong Xi Min….
Wong Pei Wern….
Chin Ting Ting….
Wasoochin Amphasuwant….

Four of talky girl are formed a group after required by Mr. Syamsul. When lecturer asked to form a group, it’s freaking me out. Why? Has group assignment? In my opinion, we only pair assignment for seminar, right? I’m quite puzzled. Don’t want assignment. I already up to my ears in assignment.

Luckily, it just a simple task that just do in the class. I looked at the Mr. Syamsul gratefully. Then, he display a slide which consists of 30 different questions, all related to multimedia field. He has given us a piece of A4 paper which write out the number. I get number 30, which titled as “DATABASE SYSTEM”. That is kacang question for me because I get A+ for Multimedia Database last semester.. wakakaka

Almost all the answer of database system is come from me. I just blar whatever I still remember about database system. My group members were very admires of my good memory. Haha, my long term memory is quite good ne^^. Since all of us very confident with the answer, so we were decided to present our answer in the class. Then, we selected Pei Wern as presenter. Actually, we forced her to present.

“Can give the example of database system?”

That is the question has been asked by Mr. Syamsul. Then, I answer that one of the database system is local database like easyPhP; while FTP is another kind of global database. But, I think that is not a good answer… I better said that Learning zone UUM is one kind of database system. Simple and straightforward answer. Haiz ..maybe too nervous until my mind get stuck and cannot function properly.

Anyway, well done!!!

Writing is making sense of life

Here is what I learned from my lecturer during my Seminar class. I would like to talk again the superfluous words and sentences. Haha…

Introduction
Before taking the course of Seminar I was not familiar with writing article because do not has any course that teaching writing article. Previous, my friend always called me as “KING OF ARTICLE”. This is true story. Why? This is because I able to write around 20++ articles in a day. Very patient in reading article. But, when come to write article really headache. Through the Seminar I learned a lot on writing academic article. Next time, I able take the pen and start thinking how to write a good article even I realize that I am not a good writer. Poor English.


Worry My Draft Writing After Listen the Lecture
Before learning on how to write article, we all already submitted our paper writing after Chinese New Year. Previous I was seriously thinking of writing a good article in order to get high mark. Now after the class is over, I realize that many things were already wrong. For instance, we were wrong in APA format because we direct used APA format that has been set in the Microsoft Word. Luckily, we only submit the draft writing only. But, still worry..huhuhu..TT..At that moment I aware that everyone can write the article and may love writing article. But, the problem is how to make a good article. Without knowledge about writing article, you will not be a good article writer. Just like me. If didn’t learn about embodiment of article in the class, probably until now I still don’t know where my mistakes.

But, How?
I will like to tell you my personal opinion after listen to the lecture even I am not expect. The first way is search different resources for example, library, related organization, and online database. This is important and simplest way to get the idea that what to write about. We are advised to read the journal from different author and try to check the reliability of that article. Thus, make sure the sentences in the article are straight to the point and succinct. If possible, address new issues into our article. Haha.. Anyway those are my reflective learning.

So, very obvious I need to redo my draft….TT. Write another one. Yes, I can do it!!!!!
