Review Year 2 Semester 2 Life

I chose the harder road. I took five subjects in this semester, so I will able to finish all 3 years subjects within the stated period. Company Law, Research Method, Human Resource Management, Operational Management and the additional subject, Managerial Economics. It was pretty challenging because I was not good in time management.

Nevertheless, I manage to finish all these subjects with a predictably best result in my university life. Too confident? The result will be revealed soon on 17 January 2014. It believe that it will be my happiest ‘result-reveal’ day. Inter alia (means ‘other than that'), I enjoyed my incredible timetable for this semester. At the end of semester, it proved that my decision was correct. Thanks for the help from lecturer.

I learned a lot when I was finishing all the assignments. The weight of assignment on the shoulder was getting heavier and some of the results did not equal to our hard work. We accepted the results because as long as we tried our best, results were just something that showing whether we reached the expectation of lecturer. Indeed, we felt our improvement in term of personality, attitude and maturity. That is the more important thing than result.

TME for SUTC 35th meeting 2013-2014

Table Topic Evaluator for SUTC 36th Meeting

Delivering my CC#6_'My National Hero' in Puchong Toastmaster Club

Best Speaker for the first time (CC#5_Left or Right)

Other than academy side, I am happy with my progress in Toastmaster. I’ve already done six speeches and it is four more left to claim the award of ‘Competent Comminicator’ (a.k.a. CC, the first award after clear the first 10 speeches). In addition, I am walking out of my comfort zone as I keep challenging myself in the leadership. For example, I had held the position of Toastmaster of the Evening, Table Topic master, Table Topic Evaluator and Speech Evaluator. I still not dare to become a grammarian because the poorness of my English is simply not reaching the standard yet. I knew that I should do it to get more experience but I want to do it well for the first time, as people and I have a certain level of expectation to my performance. I will try more table topic at next year because it is a good platform to improve the speed of thinking and speaking spontaneously.

I was the president of Sunway CIS-ECA Scholarship Group, however, the group did not exist anymore. It is because of numerous reasons and I am not going to reveal it. There were many good memories among us, and we have organized successful event such as Reading Bus event, cycling event, appreciation dinner. The mixed feeling after every event was hard to describe in words because it was the combination of happy and sad. We felt sad when we were going to separate and leaving each other. Frankly, I was disappointing to myself. I knew this is a stage of learning but I simply can’t accept that I was that weak in leading a club and organizing event. Yes, everyone is saying that I have the quality to be a good leader, but I hope there is someone to guide or lead me to improve myself more because sometimes I really felt helpless. I need someone to push me. I need some new motivators to gain the confidence of a leader. I will find a way of it. I will.

There were some events with friends at this year. We went for the Scary Night at Sunway Lagoon on Halloween, ‘killing zombie’, birthday celebration of Khye Yang in Vivatel, surprised and unexpected birthday celebration with Ben, and no other than the MOST EXPENSIVE & ENJOYABLE SUBS GRANDBALL. There were still a lot of memories that I could not write in words because there was a lot of event! I am glad to have you guys be my friend. Really appreciate it. My university life will not be this colorful without you all. 

Overall, I look for a better year 3 life! My last year, my last chapter in University

Here are some links and picture for awesome events in Year 2.

Dedicate to a Good Friend

Preparation for this semester final exam (Year 2 Semester 2) might be the most effective and efficient in term of time management since year 1 semester 1. Networking is really extremely important in our life and I finally experienced the benefits of it during my preparation.

Better attitude and habit will be trained by good friends. It is so true when you really have them in your life. After joining into university for 2 years, I realized myself become more selfish, which is the characteristic that I used to hate. I have found out some of the excuses, perhaps it is not reasons, for this phenomenon because it was a really unwanted characteristic. Contradictory, we need to have a certain level of selfishness in order to survive in this world. People deserve what they get for their effort, and they should feel some pain which caused by themselves if they did not put much effort on it. It is cruel but it is true story which is happening everywhere in the world. There might have some exception but it is very few of it, I believe.

Luckily, I have a friend who recalled the ‘angel side’ of me during the preparation of exam. I reviewed myself and think that I was absolutely nothing if compared to others. I thought that I should be no. 1 in a team with the superiority of me. It was simply because I held many important positions in various club and event during high school time and university. It caused me to have some inappropriate perceptions and view to others. I always think that they should follow what I suggested since I have more experiences and held more positions than them. IT WAS TOTALLY WRONG!

Unlike me, this friend did not help many important positions or experiences in organizing event in his previous life, and he was at the same standard with me when I knew him. Now, he has showed the quality to be a good student and greater human being to be a better person. He shared his knowledge and notes to me and to some of his friends, and he also taught me how to become a success person in life. Apparently, I felt jealous for his transformation but at the same time, I felt impressed and blessed to have a good friend like him. Unarguably, he is one of my best friends ever and also the motivators for me. Everyone have their unique characteristic, and I am doing something which able to improved me as a better person.

I choose to type these all things at here instead of telling you face-to-face because I guess it is too weird for talking this to a guy! You will eventually found out this post, and when you did, perhaps you won’t tell me that you know this thing. I will cry. HAHA.

Once again, thank you for having you as a friend in my life.

Thank you, Musthaq.

2013 Toastmaster Semi-annual Convention in Ipoh

It was an AWESOME trip. My first ever trip with toastmasters in this 3 days 2 nights trip. Crazy Sunway Uni Toastmaster members had organized a meeting in train while traveling to Ipoh from KL Sentral!

Project Speech Evaluator on Train

It is also my first timer to be an evaluator for project speech. I was appointed as table topic evaluator at first because I just did the same role at two days back. I decided to change to speech project evaluator because I want to challenge myself and walk out my comfort zone. The meeting was running smoothly and everyone enjoyed for this meeting. We got praises from other toastmasters because we did some meeting that beyond their expectation! I think we can take all the praises into our account because we deserved it!

On the way to hotel

After a nearly 90 minutes meeting with passed by three state, which are Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur of Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Perak, we reached our hotel, Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Suites. We were here to support Mirosha in the National Level Humorous Speech contest, ‘claim’ our reward of President Distinguished Club and experienced the atmosphere of toastmaster convention!

Indeed, it strengthened the relationship of members and expanded our view to the level of toastmaster over the country.  The convention was actually 2 days 1 night, and we stayed at Ipoh for one more night because it was too late for us to return Sunway at night. Gala night and Hawker Night & Ceremony were organized respectively for the first two days. All of Sunway University Toastmaster members joined the flash mob and we did a very good job! People in the hall were enjoying our performances and the atmosphere was awesome! It is definitely a memorable nights for all of us!

After the Hawker night, we went back to room and watch 'The Conjuring'!

Although this was my second time to watch this movie, I still enjoy the effect of the movie! It was simply awesome! I closed my eyes after the movie and when I opened my eyes again, we were going to leave the hotel. See you next time, Ipoh!
