The end...

Praise to GOD finally we are able to finish up this assignment that require us to publish 16post. While completing this task, full commitment was given by each of the team members in gathering information. This assignment also encourages us to alert about current issues happening towards university's students specifically around Malaysia. We also gain new knowledge by linking to other blogs for example, about plastics, and cancer. While writing this blog also, we share our own experiences while going through university’s life and hope that reader can make our experiences as their guide in order to have a better life in both education and social after reading our post. Not to forget, unlimited appreciation to Madam Rosiah Bt. Othman who guides us in finishing this assignment.

Facebook, Hi-5, Twitter, MySpace and... study?

Nowadays, students are getting information to do all the things such as assigment, lab report and mini project from the internet. As the internet user, students are bare to the social interacting web such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Friendster and Hi-5. The problems turn out when the students spend so much time to this social web and then effected the performance of students achievement in their studies. This was because some of them have the ‘addiction’ to the internet and failed to manage their time properly. The students should be able to arrange their time when they supposed to take a look to the internet for entertaiment needs. This will help to avoid them from wasted too much time to visit the social web page and thus they can focus to their studies.

rhythm....

“When I hear my favorite song
I know that we belong
Oh you are the music in me
Yeah it’s living in all of us
And it’s brought us here because
You are the music in me
Na na na na
Na na na na
You are the music in me…”



Music cannot be separate from us. There were many genre of music that can be found. Each person has their own likes. Music can be a great motivator. It is simply because it lets you shut out from outside world of conversations and noises, meanwhile enabling you to concentrate more on your workout.


Music also can facilitate better relaxation of one’s mind as well so that the person working out may not feel the strain from the environment. Listening to your favorite music also can promote the functioning of blood vessels. So, listening to music make us healthier.


Furthermore, music can stimulates us and make us feel relax or makes us happy. From the previous studies show that music trains the brain for higher forms of thinking. So why not we try to listening to music when study, just to see if it helps. Just take the experience with it. Who knows it can help you study and learn better.

Think about it....

What are the purposes of our study? Is it just to pass in the examination or to success. Every semester we have differents list of subjects that need to be taken. On each of the semester we also have different subject either we interested or not. For the example, some student more interested in calculation subject while others like reading subject that need to memorize a lot of things. So we need to have a good strategy in order to score the entire subject. We have to study to become successful and not just for pass in examination.

entertainment is a fun way to learn!

Some people may say entertainment is just wasting time. But entertainment in a positive view may also bring a good influence in education. Since music was loved by students in all age, it can help student to improve their languages especially if they listened to English song. Certain songs not only improve our English but it also bring motivational in it. For example the songs entitle Just Stand up, Hero and Stay the Same. Even television nowadays also have education channel instead of entertainment for example Discovery Channel and TVIQ. With guidance of parents, entertainment may be a fun and interactive way to explore the world.

manage your stress

It may seem that there’s nothing you can do about your stress level. Managing stress is all about taking charge which are taking charge of your thoughts, your emotions, your schedule, your environment, and the way you deal with problems. Being students, there are a lot of things that need to take care of and this thing cannot be avoided from us. The ultimate goal is a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation, fun, plus the resilience to hold up under pressure and meet challenges head on.

There are many healthy ways to manage and cope with stress, but they all require change. Since everyone has a unique response to stress, there is no “one size fits all” solution to managing it. No single method works for everyone or in every situation. So focus on what makes you feel calm and in control.

STRESS MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

1: Avoid unnecessary stress

•Avoid people who stress you out
•Take control of your environment
•Avoid hot-button topics

2: Alter the situation

•Express your feelings instead of bottling them up.
•Be willing to compromise.
•Manage your time better.

3: Accept the things you can’t change

•Don’t try to control the uncontrollable.
•Look for the upside.
•Share your feelings. (Talk to a trusted friend or make an appointment with a therapist.)
•Learn to forgive.


So make sure that we can handle our stress as well as possible. Don’t make it abandon our mind. Live your life in a healthy and a good way.

Please Keep Your Toilet Clean!

Everyday we use the bathroom and toilet in the hostel as our daily needs. But how many of us are really concerned about the cleanliness of the bathroom and toilet? Some of the students are very well to take care of the cleanliness and some of them just like to ignore it and have a very bad attitude; make dirty of the bathroom and toilet. Those students likes to leave the remaining of foods in the sink and also leave their own goods such as plate, mug and spoons at the area of the sink without they wash it. As the university student, we should concerned about the cleanliness because it is one of the aspect to provide a better and peacefull surrounding as to encourage the students to stay with a healthy and supportive environment. The poor management of student’s surrounding and condition could effect the performance of students development. Thus, together we concerned about the cleanliness of the bathroom and toilets. We have the responsibilities.

The way of your study.. is it right?

As a university’s student, the subject that we learn is deeper rather than we learn since we in school. The way of study is also different. In school, teacher will teaches from the first step until the end but in university most of the lecturer just gives the important main point of the subject. The rest we need to find out in order to get our self understand. As a student, we need the best way to study and easy to memorize. The best way are doing a lot of exercises and memorize the important keywords. Then, do not study until it is out of your sleep time. It can make yourself is not in good condition during classes or examination and out of your focus. Next, you need to eat well to give your body energetic. Lastly, put your fully effort toward your study and pray to Allah SWT. InsyaAllah, you will achieve your aims.

Check your money flow

Nowadays, students around Malaysia get study loan from various sources for example, Mara, PTPTN, and others. What exactly they do with the money? Do they use it wisely? Most of students use money for something that is less important. Things that can be classified as important are for example fees, laptops and books. But as a teenager, they love expensive stuff just because they want to look stylish. Sometimes, it is not because of the stuff itself that they need, but just because of the brand. It is true when we buy something expensive such jeans and shoes, it may last longer than the cheaper one but don’t forget to save even a small partition of our money for saving because we don’t really know what is waiting for us in the future. Saving from now can lead us to a brighter future. We may use it for our marriage, perform Hajj or even starting a business…

Valentines Day : How Students Celebrates?

14 February is the date where a couple will take note of it. This is the day where a couple will express their love to each other and celebrate it in many ways such as a man will give his girfriends a bunch of flowers or a romantic present – chocolate. For a woman, some of them bravely take a risk by using no panties for that day as sign to make a sex with their boyfriends. This is what happened in some university nowadays. The female students become eager to celebrate this Valentines Day with their couples and willing to makes sex together. Unbelieveable, some of them launched the campaign “No Panties On Valentines Day” at their campus. This is really asshamed. How come an educated students make this kind of stupid things? Then the problem such as child prodigy will come out as what happened to our country lately. This is too much. As a Muslim students, never celebrates this day as it was prohibited in Islam.

Friends....

A friend in deed is a friend indeed. A meaningful phrase that could describe how important a friend in someone life. It doesn’t matter how people describe their friendship but the most important thing is the way they care their friendship’s line. A friend can be categorized into a few types such as best friend, partner as well as people who surrounding you that connected to you also called as a friend.

As we know, people who make friends have much more joyful in their life. A good friend can guide us and help us to turn over a new leaf while bad friend just make our life getting worst. Furthermore, a good friend always sits over next to us at any time. They make friends with us true from the bottom of their heart.

Not only a good friend can guide or shows a good byword to us. Either good or bad friends, both of it can affect us. But normally, if someone wants to make friends with others reasons, their friendship cannot stand for a long time. It always been these kind of friendship at campus. For example, when someone getting famous or have an important position in campus, there will be someone who want to make friends with them to make sure they also have the same advantage. Effects of this, their friendship will not remain longer.


A little bird has told that ‘respect the others if you want to be respected’. This principle must be one of the basic lines in friendship. If people do not have this kind of attitude in their life, how come they can make friends with people surrounds them. For all that we know, we can make friends with anybody that we want but for sure true friends will coloured the friendship that shared together and make the friendship’s love grow fonder every second pass by.

~L.O.V.E~

Love is a feeling that everybody can feel it. Teenagers like us always want to loves and to be loves. That is the most exciting part in our teenager’s life. Love in campus is the common issue right now. We agree that a few years back, love maybe a bourdon to student, but nowadays it become a trend in every campus. We should give positive feedback for is as long as it does not effect our focus on study and future. Sometimes, love can give us inspiration for us to be more focus and responsible toward our study. It is a normal thing that we hope our lover will be become our future husband or wife. That definitely can encourage us to study hard and get a good result in order to have a better life in future. As a conclusion, falling in love while in campus is fine, as long as long we are able to manage between our love life and study. Tried it out and Good Luck!

keep your body and mind fit!

Campus lifestyles sometimes make us too busy to take care of ourselves especially in health. From our personal view in campus, some students are not very particular in selecting what they eat everyday.

Vegetables and fruits suppose to become our best friend in every meal. It contains essential vitamins, minerals and fiber that may prevent us from diseases. Balance diet need to be maintained so that we are able to go through our busy lifestyle. Having a fever or else will affect our concentration and focus in class. We also may skip several lectures and tutorials.

We also need to be active in sports or even jogging for at least twice a week. Constantly active will boost up our stamina so that we can be more energetic for every class we attend and will not easily get tired.

Eat right, go out and play will help us to study much better. Have any doubt? Try it out then!

EDUCATION SYSTEM : The reality in 21th century

Assalamualai’kum to all the readers.

Education is the main part in campus life. Inversely, there is no campus will exist if education is not important.

Education system in university consists of three main part which are students, lecturer and system (read: subject being offered, administration, students affairs). This three main part are related to each other to make the system in university achieved the goals.

Nowadays, from the view, we can see that our university is going to “produce” a future leader, future engineer, future technologist, future architect and many more future developer for our belive world. But in real life, is that really?

The answer is yes. But today, the world desire more from us. It is not enough if we become intelect, clever, creative, got Dean’s list and what-ever-award, but if we lost the “human being value”, the intelect will become intelectualess, the clever people can become stupid, the rich can become arrogant and many more worst situations.

How this situations relates to this topic? What is the relevants?

What burden in the writer’s mind right now is about how education system in university/campus/colleges constitute the student to become educated and at the same time, also can become a good human being. It can be said that the graduates students must be the one who has an excellent result for their academics and excellent attitude as well.

Today, the world are going to die with the bad manner from our politicians, leaders and educated persons. Not all, but a few of them shows how sicks our education system it is. Is that because of the secularism in our education system? Or is it because of our education systems is an exam-oriented? God knows best.

As the readers can you realize the situations like a policeman or a lawyer takes a bribe from the criminal? Or the politicians that use others people money for their own sakes? Do you can see the “product” from our education system? Ask youself. It is all in your head.

The conclusion is, the government should do something for our education system. Maybe they can re-organize the system with better teaching methodology and involve various pedagogy. Make the students to walk out from the campus with the good result in their hands and with the good piety in their hearts. Insya-Allah.

Is It The Place to Show Off..?

Fashion is the style and custom prevalent at a given time. Most of people either workers or students use to become fashionable. But for students is it relevant to wear it in campus? For us, the answer is "yes, they can be fashionable but they must wear clothes that represent themselves as a student".

Nowdays it can be seen most of the students wearing clothes as they want to go to shopping mall or having a vacation. Can you imagine how is the situation? They use to become fashionable but not exactly at the right time and place. Wearing something that not illegal in campus is not allowed. Acting like celebrities is not the way how students should be because we as a student already knew that only a proper attire is allowed in campus. Everybody have to be more consider with this situation. Being fashionable is not wrong but it has to be suitable and not too much. It does not matter what fashion you want to fits in but for sure it should looks proper and nice.

So come on guys, we need to be more alert with this situation because people might judge us from the first impression. The way we wearing clothes not only represent our appearance but intense as well.

14 WEEKS Vs 18 WEEKS

Which is more suitable? 14 weeks or 18 weeks study period? Many university and institution nowadays prefer to follow IPTA’s academic system which take 14 weeks time. For private institutions like us, 14 weeks studying time is not very suitable.

The main reason is because, UniKL is hands-on teaching university and is not just based on theoretical but in practical also. So we need more time to complete our syllabus. In IPTA, the students are only expert in theory while in practical part, they just have a demonstration by their technician. This is why they can complete their syllabus during 14 weeks time. We admit that most IPTA are well established and popular with their achievement but UniKL also have it's own quality that make us as success as IPTA.

We need to take this issue more seriously in order to maintain our quality as one of the institution that have productive engineers and technologist wannabe. We must have our own identity same as our tagline “Where Knowledge Is Applied”. So we need to prove that the knowledge and skills that was learned can be applied to the industry later on by UniKL engineers and technologist. That is why we need 18 weeks academic calendar in order to have enough time to complete our labs, tests, quizzes and assignments. Then only we can scores well and get better CGPA for every semester. InsyaAllah.

WHO'S FAULT?

As a student, results play as important role. Some of us get excellent grade while others did not. Why this situations keep on happening? Is it because we lacked in doing exercises? Do we eat too much junk foods or maybe we do not totally understand what the lecturers have thought. Either in private or government university, there are a few students that cannot complete their studies. It can be estimated around 30%of student failed to graduate and the other 60% graduate with honor while the remain 10% graduate with honor with excellent CGPA.

There are many ways need to be taken in order to fix this terrible situation. Through this, the percentage of good quality inside every students can be increase. More communication between student and lecturer can be apply to overcome this problem other than attend every classes and tutorial. Besides, we need to find extra references from variety sources such as library or internet. However, lecturer also need to pay extra attention in student's performance and help them to improve their results. All this can only be effective if the student itself responsible of their own study.So all student should learn from their mistake and turn the scar into a star.
