Academic Story!

Dgn p'umuman UiTM degree final exam result pd arini, scara rasminya bg sy, tamat sudah lembaran semester January-May 2011...Maka, baru la sy 'berani' utk m'buat ulasan...B4 dis diploma final exam result dh release 1month ago (lbh awal krn new sem was began on 30May)...If ikutkan rencana asal, final exam result 4 degree students supposed release on my burfday tp HEA UiTM S/Alam decided 2 release earlier n it should b better!

Last sem, I taught 3 codes (2 degree, 1 diploma) and 4 da diploma code, I continue dis sem...Jdnya lega sket la since tak prlu start all over again sgt...Sepjg mengendalikan codes yg t'sebut, mcm2 pgalaman pahit manis yg sy lalui + hadapi from da beginning till da end...The scope of responsibility starts from class preparation till uploading their marks...

Bg sy, sem lps is more challenging (compared wif this sem) coz teaching degree students n nid 2 start everything from 0...So this sem sy rasa lbh 'relax' sbb hanya b'gelumang dgn diploma students. Ada yg memilih utk ajar degree students atas plbagai sbb-musabab msg2 namun sy tak kesah mana2 pn..Apa je tugasan or p'bahagian ATA, sy terima saja dgn tgn t'buka...As long as subject yg diberi itu mmg dlm ruang lingkup or scope sy, itu dh memadai...Jgn bg sy ajar subject yg bkn dlm bidang kepakaran sy udah la...(Pakar la sgt)

My satisfaction in lecturing is when I can deliver knowledge 2 students!n 1 more thing, I prefer 2 teach my 'juniors'...Ada "sense of belongings" d ctu...My principle in allocation of marks is simple...2 me, u get wat u deserve...Sy tak prnh nk halang students dpt gud grade if they deserve 4 it!Each student will be treated equally...Apply concept EEO gitu!H/ever, the element of quality & fairness still need 2 b preserved...I'm not such a perfect person or academician but I'll try my best in wateva I do!I'm still in learning process which is never ending...

Overall, 4 da students achievement, after analyze the marks that they get (achievement), several conclusion can b made:

1) Different students have different level of intellectuality...There r some students who r hardworking, put high efforts & strives can score in line wif those who r intelligent gifted!

2) Students' achievement is not merely based on the subject matter itself but also being influenced by their respect 2wards lecturer, attendance & participation. So far, 2 b frank, those who have less respect 2wards their lecturers were automatically didn't score 'A'...Karma maybe?2 me, the quality of an 'A' is expensive, unique & valuable n not all eligible 4 it (mentang2 la ajar subject Quality...asyik dok masukkn element quality je)

3) There r students who FAIL because of their attitudes problems...If u just come n see me once after the result release, it's TOO LATE already...

Sy bkn jenis yg suka nk fail2kn students no matter sumtimes their actions 'hurt' me, whether intentionally or unintentionally...Sy serahkan pd Allah...Sy pn tak suka nk jumpa students yg sama utk subject yg sama...It may creates 'unhealthy' meeting but sometimes I have no choice coz ini adalah AMANAH yg dipertanggungjwbkn sbg seorg PENDIDIK...

Sembang2 petang...

Pd ptg td, sy telah ke Alor Setar, b'kunjung ke umah kwn sy yg buat burfday party utk puterinya yg baru genap 1year a few days ago...Biasa la makpak yg baru ada 1st child n 1st granddaugther mmglh ciwi tak hengat mcm abg & kak ipar jgk...Makpak yg excited lebey walhal c kanak2 yg diraikan itu b'ada dlm *confuse mode*...Hahaha!~

Mcm tak manis plak b'tandang ke umah kwn baik b'tgn kosong...So tanpa proper preparation or planing, sy pn gi la ushar brgn baby kt TESCO...Kt Perlis nih mana ada apa sgt...Dlm kpala dok b'fikir gk nk bg apa sbb bese ble visit kwn2 yg b'pantang, tak susah cari brg sbb byk brgn baby yg tlh dihamperkan...Nk beli baju yg dh siap pack, itu besenya utk newborn...Dlm kesuntukan masa, manakan dgn nk balut lagi...Kt utara nih mana la nk ada Toy's'Rus ke...Alhmdlllh p'carian sy dimudahkn bila mana sy rasa dgn m'belikan set mangkuk plastic yg ada cute fork+spoon+mug...Owhhh sgt sesuai rasanya sbb c baby dh mula mkn pd peringkat umur cmnih dia pun dh stat 'busy buat keje' (main masak2 or ketuk2 or masukkan bnda dlm mulut)...Hahahaha!~Ohh TESCO tak sediakn wrapping service plak haihhh!Bila n bagaimananya sy nk balut pn taktau...Maka, dgn muka yg agak tebal, sy pn t'paksa buat slumberrr...Malunya org tgk..Apa lagi, cpt2 bagitau tuan umah n letak pd tmpt yg agak t'sorok supaya takde yg perasan...

Mlmnya bila sy dh pulang ke umah, c mummy (my best fren) text me saying "thanks 4 da present...my daughter really like ur present...she only play with my present n ignore the rest"...ahahaha!~cute btoi la!Sbg seorg yg pinky, haruslah attract itu bdk esp gurl...Kwang3!~T'ubat sket rindu pd my niece tgk keletah dia..."Eiman, Makyang miss u so much!".Last wiknd Makyang nangis sbb t'lampau rindukn adorable Eiman...Sob3!~

Luckily masa sy attend da party, t'jumpa beberapa kwn lain...If tak, segan gk la layan diri sorg2...Sy biasa la, gi mana2 pn alwiz alone...Takde kwn la kt cni...Not happening!Apo nk buek,kn...Kdg2 takde pilihan...If nk tunggu ada kwn sbg peneman,  mmg sume invitation sy tak pegi la sudahnya!Wajarkh?Hurm!Td borak2 dgn kwn sy, part-time lecturer at Merbok...Apa lagi bila dh masuk 'kandang' yg sama, of course la topic about our profesion yg jd concern matter...Isu yg hangat diperkatakn skrg adalah, "P'ambilan kakitangan awam dibekukan"...Ohh so pity 2 them!They r very eager 2 become a lecturer with full of passionate n energeticn score wif a gud pointer!Ble dgr kwn2 laki yg interested n excited dlm cabang nih, mmg sy suka la...Bkn apa, as most people concern, bilangan kaum lelaki dlm bidang professional semakin merosot...My fren nih buat la luahan hati dia...Sayu plak sy dgr rintihan hati dia...Nampak b'genang air mata dlm kelopaknya...Alhamdulillah rezeki sy..Syukur sgt pd Allah!Tp on behalf of other frens yg have a gud quality n high potential, sy tumpang sedey!Semoga uolz tabah dgn ujian ini...Teruskan b'usaha+b'tawakal+b'doa+b'SABAR n jgn putus asa!Apa pn kena ingat, rezeki itu dtgnya drpd Allah!Itulah yg sebaiknya utk merawat hati...

Yuhu!~I'm back...Just wan 2 share my latest xtvt!Yeah; sungguh best dpt buat keje gile...Baru rockkk!!!Sempoiiii!!Adventure!! Yeay yeahhhh~Act, dgn spontannya, sy telah memanfaatkan tempoh masa b'cuti di Pulau Kapas tanpa m'ambil masa yg lama utk m'buat keputusan t'sebut...Seusai marking final exam/answer scripts students pd 15 May 2011 lebey krg jam 2.30am, sy pn tido dgn tenang setelah sakit badan+letih mental bberapa hari utk menyudahkan urusan sgala...Bangun tghari tuh, (Opps! Tghari ye, bkn pagi =P) sy terus ke stesen bas Kangar utk m'cari ticket ke Kuala Tganu...Maka, bus Transnasional telah m'bawa sy ke Tganu pd jam 8.30pm (15 May) dan tiba ke destinasi pd jam 5.30am (16 May).

Btw, b4 sy buat sume2 nih, sy ada gk search info thru tenet sambil b'tanyakn pd org2 yg t'tentu...Bkn apa, bila gi ke tmpt yg kita tak bese nih, if tanpa a good, guider, dikhuatiri tempah penyakit cuma...Nk kata sy tak merancang sgt tuh tak jgk...Sy ada buat planing by researching on a few places intends 2 visit n also referring 2 da dates students final exam and allocate a few days 4 marking & uploading marks process (walhal dh t'lebey target date atas ketidakmampuan diri).

After several months not on vacation, tambahan plak dgn stress at workplace...Mcm2 hal yg m'duga sy, sungguh I nid 2 take a break!Exactly b4 diploma students come back end of May 2011!Sy telah menetapkn, destinasi yg sy ingin lawati adalah ISLAND yg blum prnh sy kunjungi...If nk ikutkn, sblh2 West Peninsular M'sia nih ada je pulau cumanya I wan some difference...Going 2 new place n environment wif new hope so that I can start all over again...Tak perlu ada sbrg memory no matter sweet or bitter...As far as I concern, ada 4 buah island di East Peninsular M'sia which is: Tioman, Redang, P'hentian & Kapas.

At 1st, I choose Redang...Maybe sbb it's the glamourous 1...n 4 sure, it's the most expensive also, as compared 2 the other islands!Ohh mannn....Sy view package in website pn mahai bebenor...Lagi2 bila sy gi sorg2...That's y lagi ramai yg pegi, harga bley dpt kurang...Tp apa nk buat...Kdg2 sy geram gk dgn org yg hangat2 taik ayam esp, takleh blah btoi!Serius hanya menyusahkan sy cuma!I DISLIKE 2 deal wif this kind of person no matter 4 wat reason!So, gi sorg2 pn ati lbh senang tp kena tanggung cost lebey sket la...But then it's ok...I nid 2 sacrifice 4 wat I look 4...Duwet gaji bln April, sy dh reserve utk tujuan ini...So, bajet utk household "t'gendala" buat sementara waktu hingga kemasyukan gaji bln May...Kwang3!~Rata2 sume org yg jumpa sy sume tak percaya I went there ALONE!Maka, mcm2 la speculation yg telah dibuat, kata sy ada "r/ship" problem la pulek!Isk3!~

Eni suggest sy gi 'Cotton' krn bf beliau baru pulang dr ctu, b'jimba dgn rakan2nya pd harga yg jauh lbh murah drpd Redang...So I decide 2 go there, lbh2 lagi 1 of my concern is about transportation...Bile dh guna public transport nih, faham2 je la...Limited mobility!Act Kapas nih kecik je pulaunya...Rasanya yg paling kecik antara pulau2 yg ada di Peninsular nih...Dlm tempoh sy tgh dok marking tuh, ada la sy try ask 4 reservation tp tup3 bilik fully-booked sudah!L/pun masa tuh bajet nk gi on wikend...Lantaran 'extend' date utk marking yg lari dr target, maka my wikend telah lebur utk marking semata2...Luckily Perlis dpt 2 consecutive public holidays, dan lagi 1 day, sy amik 'replacement leave'...

B'blk kpd rentetan p'jlnn slps ketibaan di bus station, sy konon la menunggu my student yg promise nk pickup tp sy yakin dia tgh krooh2 sbb dia tak sedar apa pn masa sy msg...n sy pn mmg saja tak kol, malas nk bother..So, sy take a cab je la...At 1st I tot it's a taxi but keta sapu rupanya...Aduhhhh mmglh dok baca doa byk2 jgnlh diri ini diapa2kn pd pg2 buta...Dh byk tahun sy tak jejak ke Tganu, terasa sungguh kelainannya...Sampaikan bus station dh b'tukar lokasi pn sy taktau...So, t'nga2 la sy waktu sampai pg tuh...Sy sampai agak awal...Sy ingat nk sampai just nice siang hari tp takde bus lewat mlm...Takpe la, maka keta sapu telah m'bawa sy ke jeti n sy pn berehat di surau itu hingga fajar mentari terbit!

Pg tuh b4 sy check-in diri di agency, sy breakfast laksam...Dia buh belacan...Ohh i loikeeee n lepas tuh gatal2 n garu2 la tgn..Amik kau!Yummy3!~Dipendekkan cita, ada 2 tmpt penginapan je yg "b'fungsi" di Kapas Island buat masa ini iaitu Mak Cik Gemuk Beach Resort & Kapas Island Resort...Duta Putri Resort dh lama out!Manakala lagi 1 resort sdg dlm p'binaan...n kt sana tak perlu guna sbrg kenderaan...Cuma b'jln kaki di persisiran pantai...Since lokasi d pulau n m'jadi tmpt daya tarikan pelancong, harga foods & beverage "bley tahan" la...Ohh ye, if anda mau ke cni, anggarn cost utk taxi from K/T 2 jetty is about RM30, meanwhile boat transfer 2-ways is RM40 (RM20/1 way).

Sy tenang stay di sana...Nk kata bosan tuh tak...Tp sunyi la kot...Sy gunakn ruang masa yg ada utk manfaatkn sepenuhnya...I enjoy having a talk wif people there...Sonok dpt b'sembang dgn org yg sy tak kenal...At lis msg2 have 0-0 knowledge bout each other...They r very nice n treat tourists in a gud manner!Apa pn, even diorg keje dlm bdg cmtuh, mcm bawak bot n take care pulau tp they do have knowledge n ada yg graduated from IPTA...Masa sy nk blk drpd jetty ke bus station, kakak owner tuh kata "Haa..Dh nampak ceria sket muka adik..Tak mcm masa dtg arituh"...Huhu!~Hrpnya sy dh tinggalkn sgala yg -ve  di pulau...Benarlah p'cutian ini 1  "therapy" yg baik...W/pun berat ati utk pulang, rasa sayu je masa nk naik bus mlm tuh sbb akan say "GudBye" 2 Tganu...Padanlah masa nk cari ticket pn byk yg sold out...Sy cuak kot, takut tak dpt pulang...Tak ke naya?Last result, dgn flight la tp masa tuh pn dh ptg, takut tak t'kejar je la sbb bknnya direct flight tp jd 1 keje nk connecting pulak...Sy teruskn p'carian n alhmdlllh ada rezeki =)

Last but not least, after getting a confirmation, apabila merancang p'cutian ke pulau2 di pantai timur, sila pastikan anda tahu lokasi jetty yg b'kenaan:

a) Kapas = Jetty Marang (about 20minutes from K/T)

b) Redang = Jetty Merang (about 45 minutes from K/T) <-- Sila jgn confuse btwn Merang & Marang

c) Perhentian = Jetty Kuala Besut (ni belah Besut or Jerteh - utara Tganu)

d) Tioman = Jetty Mersing

Insya'Allah slps nih sy nk tour ke lagi 3 islands yg blum prnh dijejaki...Then baru akan mengorak langkah utu ke belah Sabah pula =) Traveling is my interest & passion since I was young n now tibalah masanya utk sy merealisasikannya!Aminnnn~

P/S: Sesungguhnya sy sudah kurang keinginan utk upload sbrg photo di fesbuk n lbh prefer utk update progress d blog...Gegege!~

Kenali Anak ke-2

Td sy buat 'lawatan' kt fesbuk kwn, tup3 t'jumpa ini note...Ia b'kisarkan mengenai character anak no. 2.Menarik!So, sy pn copy & paste utk tempek d cni w/pun sy bknnya anak ke-2...Apa agaknya special anak no 2 sbb mcm 'hot' la jgk as compared 2 anak sulung or anak ke-3..Adakah krn kdudukan 'tengah2' or 'strategic' yg sering m'jadi p'hatian dan menimbulkan 'role conflict' krn WEIRD characteristics?If tak, masakan ada gelaran "2nd CHILD SYNDROME",kn...Buat anak2 no 2 sekalian jgn marah ye! =P

ANAK MANJA IBU
Sebab apa2pun mesti dia akan diutamakan oleh ibu. apa sikit ibu!!

ANAK DEGIL
Anak kedua dikatakan lebih degil, keras kepala dan tidak mendengar kata. semua dia je yg betul..Dlm ramai2 adik beradik dia ajer yg KETEGAQ .. kemahuan dia kuat.. kalau buat sesuatu sungguh2… If taknak tu, TAKNAK lah jawabnya!Boleh dipujuk tapi selalunya tak berapa jalan..

TAK PANDAI PUJUK
Memang anak no 2 ni dia tak pujuk makwe / pakwe dia..
(Ni maybe bagi yg ati kering...Uishh tp mcm krg tepat jgk sbb abg sy anak no 2 tp sy tau dia romantic...Kui3!)

BERCINTA
Tak digoyahkan anak no 2 juga….Dia kalau bercinta, sangat SETIA…Sanggup berkorban…Phewwittt!!~

HITAM / PUTIH
Apa yg dikatakan semua dipegang (kononnya) kalau hitam2 hitamlah kalau putih….Putihlah….Degil takleh tolerate

HATI
No 2 ni juga nampak je keras…Tp hati dia lembut juga….POYO!1 lagi peel dia --> tak boleh ditegur….If ditegur dia mesti tarik muka =P

BERDIKARI
Very independent..Mmg betul..tp kalau terlebih independent pun payah…..Tp mudah bergaul..Campak lah kat manapun sekejap dah dapat kawan..Very take care of her brother and all stuff belonging family sbb terlalu ambil berat pun menyampah…Semua adik2 kena control kena report kat diorang..
(Bab independent tuh ye la lagi2 bila ada adik, depa bljr survive...Mengenai 'control' tuh agak laaa....Tp yg best masa sek dulu, nasib baik ada abg sy, dia yg slalu protect sy bila bdk2 laki buli...Pehtu bile abg sy dh abih sek, mula bdk2 laki ni bls dendam sbb no more 'protector'...Sob3!~)

ARAHAN
Anak no 2 ni juga dia payah nk terima arahan….Dia lebih suka buat hal sendiri pendek kata..Tak boleh kerja ngan org…Ramai anak no 2 ni keje sendiri...
(If depa nk trima arahan pn, mesti ia dtg dr org2 atasan, mcm abg sulung, mak, ayah dsb)

PEMAAF & CARING
Tak dinafikan no 2 ni pun pemaaf & caring…TAPI awas jgn bg diorg marah….If depa marah fhm2 je la..
(Yg ni betoi laa!Pandai amik ati pn ye...Ye la, if pandai pujuk, mestilah pandai amik ati...It comes wif 'package')

PAKAIAN
Nak ajer up2date…Sume nak kemas

Sy rasa sy nk + lgi 1 point, anak ke-2 is UNPREDICTABLE...

Teruja!

Uish...Ble tgk last entry, baru sy perasan yg sy dh tak menulis selama 1bln...Nih dh mcm 1 bln 1 entry je...Btw, smlm adalah my 1st Paper 'masuk'...Meaning my students are seating 4 their Final Exam..Mereka nk exam, sy plak yg nervous....Dok fikir bleh ke mereka jwb nih...Tak keruan gk la spjg exam b'langsung...Maka, sy pn gi meronda2 di sekitar Exam Venue mereka...

T'ingat sy at the moment I was a student...Spt yg warga UiTM sedia maklum, smasa exam b'langsung, sudah pasti dan tak syak lagi, lecturer yg m'ajar subject/code itu takkan invigilate...Pihak HEA akan assign lecturer yg takde 'kaitan' dgn subject tuh...That's y masa giliran sy invigilate, terasa masuk kandang yg sesat...Mana tak nya, sy kna jaga students yg amik paper Astronomy, Pre-Calculus, English...n coming paper Account plak...Saat menatap soalan, sepatah haram sy tak faham apa2...Hahaha!~Sampai pening2 kpala sy paksa diri utk faham apakahhh sume ini??Kui3!~

B'balik kpd cite sblmnya, dulukala spjg exam masa undergraduate, lecturers yg m'ajar subject kami akan masuk utk pantau kami...Masa tuh sy sbg student, ada 1 strong feeling or t'boost semangat dgn indirect support yg lecturer pamerkan...Maka skrg sy t'ingin utk lakukan hal yg sama t'hdp my students...But sy pn tak sure, sy tgk practice or culture kt cni dh tak begitu....Adakah ia sudah tak dibenarkan?

Kwn sy di Mache, kata: "boleh"

My boss kata: "takleh"

My colleague lak kata: "boleh...tp tak digalakkan"

Hurm...Alahaiii tak bestnya =( Btw, apa yg buat sy t'uja smlm adalah soalan final exam yg klua adalah Set yg sy buat...Ohh very surprise & it makes me amazing 2 myself...Sy t'uja sbb ini adalah 1st time sy buat soalan n hantar vetting n ke S/Alam n then they select my questions...Terus sy tak lalu mkn sepetang t'senyum sorg2 meleret...Uwawawa!~Toche2 atas p'hargaan & kepercayaan ini...Tak b'kelip mata sy baca soalan...Masa tgk case study, dlm ati b'kata:"Eh2, mcm prnh je tgk...Is it mine?"Ngeee!!~

Rasa motivated trus masa marking their answer scripts...n sekiranya pd masa akan dtg sy diminta oleh pihak atasan utk m'buat soalan, sy akan improve my quality in designing questions..Act, masa buat soalan tempohari pn sy mcm t'mengah2 gk la sbb tak t'kojar den!Pd mlm exam, ada sorg gurl student kol sy...Dia tak kol utk b'tanyakn spot Q...Tp dia tanya sy 1 subtopic nih chapter mana...Dia & kwn2 dok target soalan tuh bakal klua krn dh lama tak klua...Sy pn galakkan je la dia meneruskan analysis dia tuh...Luckily soalan tuh came out in the exam...Sy tgk mereka t'senyum2...n pakat score blaka la soalan tuh...Bagus2!~

Dat's y sy slalu pesan pd students in all classes supaya buat revision on Past Year Q n make some Analysis...At lis they can get some idea tp bese la...Ada yg buat, ada jgk yg malas...So it's up 2 masing2...2 b frank, sy pn taktau soalan apa yg akan klua or ditanya...Sy sama skali tak m'duga yg Set sy akan t'pilih sbb if sy kaji previous Past Year Q, yg dok klua adalah dr lain2 campus...

Apa pn sy harap students sy dpt m'jawab soalan yg diajukan dgn baekkk!!Since soalan2 yg sy tanya tuh ada yg dh klua dlm quizzes dan prnh sy bincangkn dlm class...Now I'm in the process of marking a bulk of answer scripts which  consists of 4 groups...Byk kot...Bile tanya lain2 lect, so far subject sy yg 1 ni la yg paling byk students...Tp takpe, sy akan cuba marking dgn baik n sempurnakn tgggjwb ini dgn jayanya...Sy baru marking half of 1 class...

Rumusan awal yg sy p'hatikn:

1) Ada yg perform masa carry marks, tp krg perform masa final exam...Sy faham situasi ini krn gap exam mereka...Kesian jgk...

2) Tp ada gk yg perform masa final exam, tp carry marks tak brapa nk perform...Ini menunjukkan mereka masih ada masa utk b'usaha!

Haa; arituh sy marah mereka...Takde la marah betoi2 tp marah tipu2...Mulut mereka nih suka la sgt kata: "Susah...Tak reti...Taktau...Takleh jawab"...Tp alih2 biile sy marking, ok je...So, sy pn psycho mereka jgn suka dok ckp yg -ve sbb ia mrupakan 1 doa...If kamu tak brapa nk tau pn takyah dok sebut2 sgt...Dh la if tau pun suka dok buat terukkk!!!Hahaha~

Utk servicing code, there would be a different expectation n I'll be in the track...Wateva it is, dun worry n slmt menge'check' result when the times come!!!My 2nd Paper akan 'masuk' on this coming Saturday, which is Degree Paper...Wish u all best of luck!!n by that time, sy dh abih urusan sgala utk my 1st Paper ^__^
