My Subjects This Semester

Hello once more to Sir Izwan and all of you bloggers out there. This week I am going to write about my subjects that I take for this semester. As you all know this semester we have to take 7 subjects compared to when we are in part 1 and part 2 where we only have to take 6 subjects. It is quite a burden and a challenging task to most of us but if you look at all the successful people around, most of them faces greater challenge and obstacles in order to succeed in life. Therefore we should not complain and instead be thankful to God that have given us the opportunity to study when a lot more teenagers did not get their chances to further their studies.

Before I just keep on writing out of topic, I am going to start introducing my subjects for this semester. First subject that I would like to start of with is English for Academic Purposes (BEL 311). This subject is my favourite subject since Sir Izwan really help me a lot especially in improving my writing and speaking skills. This subject also help me in preparation for the Malaysian University English Test (MUET). Other than that, Sir also make my IT skills improved by making us creating our own blog. This subject really help me in many different ways.

My second subject that I will like to share is Fundamentals of Finance (FIN 262). This is my second favourite subject because it involves a lot of calculation and I like anything that have to do with numbers. En. Syamsyul, our lecturer for this subject also taught us in his own unique way that will make us understand fully. Most of us are thankful to have him because of his teaching. His teaching really helps us a lot especially when this subject is 4 credit hour.

My third subject this semester is Macroeconomics (ECO 211). This is the subject that I hated the most. It is simply because I don't like economy ever since in secondary school. I am not too sure why I hated this subject, but I think it is because of the teacher that taught me economy in secondary school. I am kind of a lazy person back in those days, so most of the work that she gave I did not do or submit on time. So, as a result I always have to stand outside the class and eventually finishing her work outside while standing. Since that I started to hate her and maybe that is when I started to hate economy. But either way I still respect her because she was the one who helped me in the dying minutes before SPM. Even though, I hated this subject, I will try my best to get an A for macroeconomics this semester.

My next subject is Introduction to statistics (QMT 216). I also don't like this subject because it involves both calculation and graph. I like the calculation part but not the graph part. The lecturer for this subject is okay to me in the form of teaching and relation with students. I will not comment much on this subject because we only gone through 2 topics and I haven't got the chance to know much regarding this subject.

Next is "Asas Ekonomi Islam" (CTU 241). For this subject, I do not know how to comment since this class haven't started learning fully yet especially when a new lecturer had substitute Ustaz Kamarulzaman. I haven't got to know this new lecturer yet since our CTU class is only once a week.

My next subject is Mandarin (BMD 101) which is my Third Language. I found it hard to learn this language because I don't have any basics in this language. It is a fun language to learn but I'm kind of worried that I would have to repeat this subject again. The thing that I don't understand is how to put mark on the letters. If someone can teach me how to put mark on the letters it will be helpful for me.

My last subject is Basketball (HSK 119) which is my co-curriculum. I like this co-curriculum because I love this sport so much. It is my hobby to play basketball.

I think that is all from me for now. Thank you.

Being A Senior

Hello again, by now you all should already know me since this is my third entry in three weeks time. This time I am going to write about how its like to be a senior. Actually, I am not too convinced that I am a senior since I am only in part 3 and I don't think that I am old enough to be a senior, but either way I am still a "young senior."

The best thing about being a senior is that I can relax without being forced to join activities compared to when I am in part 1. That is pretty much it. I don't agree to the fact by being a senior I can bully my junior freely whenever I wanted to. A junior is also a human being who have feelings and have the right to be respect. Our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once said that we need to respect each other regardless of age.

Being a senior to me only means to give guidance to my junior such as guidance for academic purposes and guidance on how to be a good human being, I'm not saying that I am a good guy, but through experience I think I can manage to give advice and knowledge. This doesn't mean that a junior cannot advice his or her senior. As a Muslim, we should look after each other and gives advice to each other whenever necessary. I believe that if we all follow the concept of ukhwah (brotherhood), we all can manage to live peacefully in a community. By achieving this goal, our college might be a safer and a healthy environment to be in if there is no more hatred among us.

I think that is all from me for now. Thank you for your time.

My Roommates

Hello again to all of you, today I am going to share with you an interesting topic which is about my roommates. As I said before, I am staying at Sempana Riau College. My room number is 226. Here in UiTM each room consist of four people and it means that I have three other male staying in the same room. Today, I am going to tell you about my roommates attitudes, lifestyle and so on.

One of my roommate that have been in the same room together with me since part 1 is Wan Mohd Razi B. Wan Ismail who is currently taking Diploma in Business Transport (DBST). He lives in Taman Gombak Jaya, Gombak, Kuala Lumpur. He likes to watch automotive sports car show. Basically, his interest is anything that have to do with sports car. Other than that, he also like to play video games. His ambition is to be a government officer. One thing that I admire about him is that he is such a trustworthy person and a good friend to all the surrounding people other than being a good son to his family.

My second roommate is Muhd Nur Arif B. Saini. He is in part 1 and that means he is my junior. He is currently taking Diploma in Information Management (DIIM). His ambition is to be a successful businessman. One thing special about him is that he loves to sleep, once he closes his eyes, it will be hours for him to wake up again. Other than that, he is a religious man, every night he will make sure that he set his foot in the mosque. One thing admirable about him is that he respect everyone around him regardless of age or skin colour. He knows the principle of "you need to give respect to get".

My last roommate is Mohd Shazni B. Mohd Fuad. He is also my junior. He is presently taking Diploma in Accountancy (DIA). He is from Negeri Sembilan. His ambition is to be a successful accountant. This guy is quite a funny guy compared to my other roommates. This is because the way he talk make others feel like laughing all the time. This guy really know how to mix with girls, that is why sometimes we call him a playboy. His hobby is to play video games and chatting with his friends. One other thing that you should know about him is that he is a caring and a loving person. Maybe that's the reason why girls like him. The presence of all of my roommates bring joy into my life. That is all for now. Thank you.

I think that this course is suitable for me since my mother said that it promises a bright future ahead. I am currently staying at Sempana Riau college. It is a good college because it provides a lot of equipment and facilities for free. By the way, who are willing to be a non-resident student who have to pay for water and electricity bills instead of staying in college where you can enjoy all the facilities for free?. Therefore as a student, we should be thankful for what UiTM have given us and start thanking by studying hard so that we could be successful both in this world and in the Hereafter.

My favourite food is Chicken Rice and my favourite drink is Iced Lemon Tea. My favourite movie is "Transformers 2" while my favourite music genres are Rhymes And Poetry (RAP). My ambition is to be a bank manager.
