Dunia Intan Liana: 2010

The end of Module 1 ~

Hi all,

Module for communication skill has just ended. Within those 28 days, I have gained so many things. I am able to talk in front of people even though the nervousness is still there. Even the trainer said that it is okay to be nervous. So it is a normal thing actually. One thing that I’ve learned is that try to be calm when talking in front of people because it can help us to pronounce the words well and our voice projection will be much better. For sure I will work on it and hopefully it can be improved from time to time.

For our final presentation, each and every group need to present their business proposal for their product. Our group has come out with the idea to produce an eco-PALF (eco-pineapple leaf fibre). I am quite excited with this idea and if this is for real, I am sure this product can be further commercialized for the future. This eco-PALF can somehow replace the synthetic fiber in many aspect of application. It can be used to replace the conventional building materials, components for thermosets and thermostable as well as it can be used in textile industry. Apart from that, this is the first time I am doing the business proposal so it is like a new experience for me. There are many things that need to be included in the proposal. So far, I am very happy with our group’s proposal and everyone of us has contributed a lot in completing this proposal as well as for the presentation itself.

Now here come the second module…hoping to learn about something interesting. Till here..

Mock interview and public speaking ~

These two sessions had elevated my level of nervousness to a very high level. I never had the chance to attend any interview so far. At first, I think it is quite tough for me and I keep asking myself to be relax. Even though it is just a mock interview, I still can feel the pressure as the interviewer seems to be so cold on the appearance. I got Mr. Farouk for my interviewer. I can’t sit still once I look at his face. While waiting for my turn, I try to remember all the answers from the expected questions. My turn was after lunch break and once I get into the room, I can feel the sense of warm and comfort surrounding. I have tried my best to answer all those questions and I feel so good after that. The feedback from by Mr. Farouk really made my day. His comments are full of encouraging words. What I’ve learned from this mock interview is be calm so that you won’t lose words and you will look more confident. Thanks to my friends also for being so kind to share their experiences when attending the interviews and how they responds to certain questions given.

Next is the public speaking session. I talk about the importance of information technology in education system. Seriously my heart throb rapidly. During my turn, I try to be calm. However it won’t work. I can feel that my voice shaky. 3 minutes left and I think that there are so many things to be improved such as my eye contact with the audience and way to control my nervousness.

Frankly speaking, I have gained my confident to speak in front of people after these 2 sessions. We won’t know our capability until we try. So in order to be calm and confident when talking in front of people, we just need to do a lot of practices and don’t be shy to make mistakes.. That’s it.

Resume writing and Report writing ~

Yes I know it has been a long time since i wrote the last entry. Can't avoid the tiredness and laziness at the same time. Frankly speaking, i do not have the time to open the laptop during the night. The things that come into my mind is only the comforter and the pillow. However i am trying very hard to adapt myself with the new-kind-of-working-hours-period. Go out early in the morning, reaching home at almost 6 o'clock =)

I know the title of this post and even the posts before this are quite lame. Just bear with me guys. I'm not creative enough to twist the title to sounds more interesting. So these two sessions were conducting again by Mrs Farah and Mrs Norliza. For the resume writing, i can say nothing much about it. All we need to do in this session is to write our own resume for the next mock interview session. Truthfully, what i expected in this session is where the trainer show us how to make interesting resume together with the examples so that we can upgrade our old version of resume. However, i have the chance to see different types of resume layout when we are required to look through all of our friends' resume and make some comments of it. Basically all the information in the resume is more or less the same but the way we arrange it that makes it looks more appealing.

Next is the report writing. Our group have come out with an idea of doing the eco-friendly disposable diapers using pineapple leaves fiber. It is quite an interesting thing to research on but then is not the final decision yet. Hopefully we can come out with the final one.

The Art Of Public Speaking ~

Yesterday is such a non-productive day for me and my 3 other housemates. We overslept and we arrived 10 minutes late at Unirazak. Being late to class is kind of spoiled our mood the whole day. We only think forward to break time. However, the trainer for yesterday's session can somehow twisted our mood gradually. Frankly speaking, I love to see the way he talk, his gesture, the way he interact with us and his tone of voice.

It is good in this session where all of us need to talk by hook or by crook. It is a Public Speaking session and what do you expect right...I'm quite nervous as this is my first time talking in front of the class. Sometimes I find it hard to find suitable words and I barely able to focus on people's eyes. This is one of my weaknesses. When i was like accidentally having an eye contact with the audiences, i can feel that the nervousness going beyond the limit. I really need to encounter this so that it can build up my confident level. What I need is to find the courage in myself. By the way, this particular session is just to warming us up. More to a session to open our mouth. The real one should be held on 21st December and i am looking forward to that. NERVOUS??? frankly speaking...YES I AM!!!

How To Reach Audience Through Blogging ~

It is time to get serious now...

Without we realised, blog has become the medium where people tend to express their feeling, share their interests as well as getting to meet new people on the net. However, not every blog able to catch the eyes of the viewers. The good blog is where the moments viewers get into the blog, they will keep clicking the older posts button and eagerly wait for the new entries to be posted.

Therefore, there are some ways where blogger need to be extra concern in order to reach their viewers through their writings. First and foremost is the contents. It is good for the blogger to know what they want to write and try not to post anything if the idea has not popped up yet. it is normal for not updating the blog everyday unless you have many things to share. If the blogger simply write just for the sake of putting up new entries frequently, the quality of the entries will become low. People might get bored at the end of the day.

Secondly is the layout itself. There way the blog being potrayed also influenced the interest of viewers to stop by and read our blog. Fancy yet simple layout is preferable compared to plain and dull layout. There is no point having good and interesting entries but with dull and boring layout as it can distract the viewers.

Undoubtedly there is always a way for the blogger to improve their writings and to maintain their blog in order to attract more viewers. Try to avoid hypocrisy and let the thoughts come from the inside of your heart. It will become much meaningful and honest. However, the most important thing is never ever copy and paste other people's entries and make it like it was yours Once you are detected, you will be no longer being respected.

New Day..New Hope..New Expectation

New Day...New Hope...New Expectation...New Faces..Hurm today i come across number of new faces joining the BeST Programme. It is a good sign actually as the family members

will expand but hopefully the food served here will not become less =p

Okay dah mula gelabah nak tulis apa dah ni. Have to squeeze my brain to the max so that those ideas will flow smoothly..

Yesterday my dad called me and said that all of our family members were sending my two little brothers to Maahad Tahfiz school somewhere in Muar, Johor. School holiday had just started and the idea of sending them there is quite brilliant as they will spend their time wisely and at the same time try to be independent. Aiman is in standard 5 while Amsyar is in standard 3. Hopefully both of them can take care of each other. Talking about these two little creatures, as there become older, their characters seem to change gradually and it sometimes annoyed me and as a sister, i'm quite worry with those changes.. Bak kata orang 'naik minyak'. Amsyar especially have actually showed his true colour where he used to go out playing with his friends early in the morning and he only come home just before maghrib. Of all my siblings, he is the one who always creates chaos.Keras kepala, panas baran..Yes he is the one. many advices had been given to him but it seems to never work. Selalu kena pukul tu tak payah la nak cerita kan. Pukul untuk kesedaran dan kebaikan. In contrast, Aiman will spend most of his time by staying at home watching channel Astro Ceria. Ini memang mendatangkan marah. Rasa macam nak bakar jer tv tu. So by now i knew already all the cartoons. Setiap episod dah boleh khatam. Ultraman, Asarichan, Fukuchan, Ninja boy, Hagemaru, Kampung Boy...You just named it.

So if both of them were at home during the school holiday, i never have the chance to watch the TV. Poor me. But one thing for sure, we will miss their presence in the house. bak kata orang, kalau ada depan mata rasa nak tampar laju-laju. tapi bila dah takde, mula la nk rasa rindu-rindu kan. But i really hope that they will learn something from the school. maybe they will be a new brand of Aiman and Amsyar. takpun keluar-keluar jadi ustaz... who knows..anything can happen.

p/s: So to Aiman and Amsyar, please be good. Makes abah and mama proud of both of you okay. Kalau tak...tinggal la lama2 kat johor tu. Padan muka =P

Tiada idea tapi Perlu Menulis ~

Terasa cabaran yang besar pula bila mana perlu menggunakan bahasa yang mudah difahami memandangkan Gen Y ni bahasa dia agak unik sikit. tapi takdela sampai macam bahasa budak-budak sekolah sekarang ni. Apa jadi apew...Sahaja jadi jew. Okay rasa macam nak tampar laju-laju je budak-budak yang guna bahasa mcm ni bila chat atau message. Agak annoying tau.

So hopefully bahasa Gen Y ni mudah la difahami oleh Gen X yang membaca =P Okay now we go back to the main topic. Sebenarnya ak ni jenis yang sangat malas nak menulis. malas nak express apa yang ak rasa. i would rather keep it to myself or telling it to my friends because the respond given is directly. Tapi since this is the requirement for this programme, i will try my best to fulill it. Maybe some of the entries are like 'tangkap muat' becauce the idea to blog will not come to us easily. It pop up whenever it want. The worst thing is where the idea comes a month later. Haha. Long way to wait for new entries right. But i'll try to write as frequent as i can. So followers yang terpaksa or dipaksa menjadi followers, just bear with me okay..PEACE!!

KL is making me sick ~

Now I'm stuck in the middle of KL. Maybe for 3 or 6 months, just for the sake of the BeST programme. Even though i used to stay in KL before i moved to Nilai, i still prefer not to live in KL. The environment and surrounding here makes my life full of stress. I miss the calmness of Nilai...seriously...

It has been 4 days since the BeST Programme started and yet my friends and I still cannot find a house to rent. A house for us to settle down. Currently we are now staying at my rental house but only for a short period of time due to some problems. So we are like a nomad people now. This house is quite small where our stuff tend to be everywhere in this house. Can u imagine that? Maybe this is one of the reason that makes my life here more miserable.

However, the best part is that my house is near to the LRT station which has become our main transportation to unirazak. Tired? Of course but sooner or later surely i'll adapt with the pressure. It is only the beginning of my journey here. There are much more to come..so i just need to bear with it. Hopefully we manage to find a suitable house before the end of this month. Really need to work hard on it. so mudah.com...please be kind to us.

UNIRAZAK capital square ~

I never been to this place before. But one thing for sure, i will spend 3 months of my life here. Improving myself and hopefully after those 3 months period of time, there will be a new brand of me. More confident, more energetic and more enthusiastic.

Universiti Tun Abdul Razak City Campus

It had been an exciting day for the past two days. My brain starts to work effectively even though it is slightly ~~lembab~~ slow in the beginning due to a very long 'holiday'.
