*the post seems pointless but i wrote this from the bottom of my heart.....true feelin eh =P

Oh H1N1....

Assalamualaikum..
Hello guys...

7 weeks in UKM, I gained lots of experiences and knowledge. I'm proud to be here. Now, everybody is busy with assignments, "Pesta Konvo", other activities and also H1N1. I don't know whether it is true or not, but my friend said that in UKM only, there are two student be the victims of H1N1. It makes many people worry about it and take the precaution step in order to prevent themselves from the disease. Prevention is better than cure right? I really hope that all the UKM students will take a good care of their health especially to the Law’s students. Till today 17 august 2009, in Malaysia only, there are 64 people die because of this influenza and 1716 people die from 174 countries in the world. Now, H1N1 is a serious issue and the precaution steps should be taken by the government and also the society. It is good to see that some of the Law students are wearing the mask especially my English for Law classmates such as Shu Mei, Emirul, and Mawardi. Congratulation to three of you and I hope that the others will follow these three students so that you will be protected form the influenza including ME! Please somebody lecture me on how dangerous this influenza to our health! =)

I want to share some good information about this influenza. The symptoms for this influenza are sore throat, fever which is usually high, headache, cough, and diarrhea and vomiting, body aches, chills and also runny nose. To those who have these symptoms at least three, please go and see the doctor immediately before something bad happen to you. Apart from that, there are certain groups who are at the particularly risk of severe disease or bad outcomes if they get the flu. They are pregnant women, young children especially those under 12 months of age, elderly people, and people with heart disease, HIV infection and chronic diseases. Guys, you can prevent these diseases by washing your hands regularly with soap and water, avoid close contact with sick people and touching your month, nose or eyes. Based on the information given above, I hope that all of you including ME will start to find the best way to be a healthy person. Huhu..

only me,

My Homework In FUU

Finally, I have spent about 7 weeks in UKM. The life of law student is awfully busy and packed. Everyday I have to deal with a heavy load of homework. As the inevitable consequence, I am forced to sleep at 1 am every night. Besides, I often feel dissatisfied with my homework. I strogly believe that my performance in my homework is fairly grim. In addition, majority of my coursemates do amazingly well in their homework. In most of our homework, we are suppose to bring out our own idea, so you see, it bears a conspicuous dissimilarity with secondary as well as primary homwwork. In primary and secondary or perhaps college level, we can gain the answers easily for the homeworks effortlessly with a condition you make some effort to flip the books. However, in university, you have a variety of books but it is no doubt difficult to attain the answers. You have to crack you brain or even crash your brain to acquire the answers. For example, is our legal system prefect? The one who can answer this question fantastically well must a gifted genius. For the ideas which which I bring up for the homework, I think they are quite foolish. I discover that my friends's answers are considerable mature compared to mine.
Next, I also find that quite a number of my friends often cannot fork out sufficient time to complete their homework. These are mainly due to their activities in their college. So finally they need to copy or the worst, borrow homework from their trusted friends. To me, I think it is fine because although they do not complete their homework but they are incredibly intelligent, they still can perform very well for their exam. After the result is announced, definely they will accomplish at least 3.0 for this semester. I am expected this to occur.

"PPSMI" a Reality Became Rhetoric!

Assalamualaikum and A Very Nice Day....

Today I am very interested to discuss about PPSMI or Learning and Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English. When the government had announced that the policy PPSMI will be abolished, Malaysian had given mixed feeling about the government decision. Why? Because human being have their own view about some issues and this will lead to the critical thinking among the communities. Today, I will expressed my own point of view. From my own perception, I agreed with the decision made by the government to abolished the PPSMi because of several rationale. First, the usage of English in Mathematics and Science lead to the increasing gap between the students in rural area and in the urban area. So, as a reasult, the students in the rural area cannot catch-up with the syllabus as the main problem for students is the medium of instruction, that is the language itself.

Secondly, the decision made by government in 2002 to launch the PPSMI had been done without any proper preparation. For example, the teachers itself. Since for a long time, teachers in Malaysia who are teaching Mathematics and Science had used Bahasa Melayu as a medium of instruction and they are more experienced to teach this two critical subjects in our national language. Can we imagined how teachers to teach Mathematics and Science in English as they are not exposure to the environment of English itself? This actually made the condition worst become worst as teachers are more comfortable to use bilingual to teach in class as they are not fluent in English and also their students cannot understand what they are teaching as the students having limited usage of English. So, by using back Bahasa Melayu in the learning and teaching process of Mathematics and Science, students will comprehend with the subjects and also lead the teachers to use more unique technique in order to make their students understand better.

The equipments provided by the government is not enough and sometimes, not suitable to use in the learning process. As a proof, the contents of the textbook and some multimedia software likes CD-ROM provided by the Ministry of Education in the subject of Science is not complete and students cannot used the textbook as a first priority as many facts in the textbooks had not been described eventhough it is mentioned clearly under the syllabus provided.

As I am mentioned before, every person have their own view about some issues. Its goes the same with me. It is only my personal opinion as a one of the students who had been experienced with this PPSMI policy. I am sure that those who is categorised as 'Language Lovers" will support the decision made by the government to abolished this policy and those who is educated as "English Orientation" will be very dissapointed with the government decision. As I am concerned, this policy actually illegal as its contravene with Education Act 1996 that clearly mentioned about the usage of Bahasa Melayu as a main instruction in school. So, now it is depends on ourself whether to think the rationale taken by the government logically or emotionally...

That's all from now... Always have a beautiful day.........

See You Again In the Next Time!

Brushing off negative perceptions

I had put Law as my first choice in my UPU application. I never thought I managed to get into UKM doing law, which is my first choice because I am a Diploma in Business Administration graduate. At first, I felt rather left out because I didn't know much about Law. I only knew a little, only because I took a law subject in my Diploma course which is Business Law. From that subject I suddenly had a huge interest in doing law. Entering my first lecture in Faculty of Law, UKM, I felt rather intimidated because everyone confidently voiced out on what they knew about Law, but I only could just watch in awe. However, my feeling of insecurities were laid to rest when all of the lecturers convinced us, particularly towards the STPM and Diploma holders not to feel intimidated and afraid to carry the Law course. Our possibilities and chances to excel were as great as those who had basics in law before and that we were to strive harder than we did in school. I realized that I shouldn't have had a feeling of insecurity, and just be optimistic as well as being more proactive to succeed as a Law student.

Hey yall! Guess its my time to post something here. I didn't know that we had to post something about us hence me posting the first 2 articles about the westmister system and the joke about lawyers. Now that most of you have had a good laugh about lawyers and some basic knowledge about our legal system, here is what i have experience in the fifth week of my life as a law student studying the law faculty of UKM. As probably most of you have known previously i was a pre-law student from UiTM and most of you guys might have the impression that pre-law students have and edge towards you guys but in actual fact we don't. We came here with zero knowledge just as you guys did because for people who are as lazy as i am, i have forgotten most of what we have learned back then because there is no certainty that we might get to do our law degree through the UPU process so we were still kinda playing around the choices that are available around the law stream. Now enough about that, i guess its safe to say that the orientation week was a real drag and a pain to everyone. After the whole week of missery was over came the week of serious studies. The environment from pre-law and the environment doing our law degree is totally different. Back then everything was more laid back and everything was kinda spoon fed to us, now its a whole different ball game, its like if a lecturer asks you about a certain case and you are unable to give the facts of the case infront of 101 students you'll feel like your the dumbest person on earth, well atleast that's how i feel. I guess what's important is that we must change from the inner child within us to grown up adults to adpat to the changes that we are facing as soon as possible. Right now i am not 100% adapted to the surroundings but its safe to say that i'm on the verge of adapting to the surroundings. I started my english class together with a few other students but later 5 of us were transfered from that class and put into Mdm. Hanani's class. Over here i met a couple of extraordinary people who made feel welcomed. We work together and we even strive together to achieve a common goal and these people are the people that i have fun working with so far. Next week and this week is going to be a stressful week because we are going to have a series od tests next week. Hopefully we'll all do well in it. Thats all i can say for now, tune in for my next posting. adios amigos - adi
