New Semester (2019)

Luahan hati. (To be deleted)

I just went through a very heartbreaking moment, the most disappointed phase in my whole life.

On the 15th of July 2019, I received my ACCA result through my email. It was the day when I was with my father and a friend of mine, we were going to our campus to settle our stay at this one college. I will tell you more about it on my next post. So we were in a car, the email was received at 7.12 am. I was nervous, my hand was trembling. I opened it.

I looked at it for a long time. After looking at it, I looked at my father who was driving at the time. I was having a thought that I had disappointed him. It is true, I disappointed him. I passed a paper and failed another paper. It was heart wrenching. I know it will saddened my father's feeling. I told him my result. He replied it with a sigh. I was ready for a scolding. I did not cried the moment I know my result. My father did not scold me nor nagging me. I do not want to cry as I look so pathetic but after a long time in silence, I cried in front of him. He looks surprised.

I cried on my own words. I said that even though I was praying so hard to God, I still could not achieve what I want. And I continued, this sadness, this test was given to me because I sinned so much towards God. I deserved this. Later, I prayed to God, may all this sadness will erase my sins toward Him. I can be positive in that situation because I believe God will give me a better and more valuable gift to me later.

I learned so much things. I learned that I should not take things for granted. My lecturer did her best to make sure I pass the paper but I was lazy to even listen to her. Second, study early and consistent, do not do last minute study. It doesn't help you in a long term. Always revise your study and catch up fast, then you will feel the competitiveness between your friends, to feel that you have to be better and work harder than everyone else. Thirdly, be diligent and committed to your study. This is very important for ACCA students. The syllabus is too much. I have to do revision not once but thousands time to excel the subject.

My parent have been so supportive and encouraging towards me. They did not scold me. They console me the best they can. They really understand me. They knew this was the biggest failure I've ever face. I excel in my studies when I was in my school and diploma but not as excellent as my youngest sister, she is a genius. My parent knew that, they hugged and kissed me. I want them to know that I regret for my disobedience and laziness in my studies and I will work more harder than before. I will compensate my fail paper with a more higher marks.

My friends went through the same thing. I told them what my parent said to me. Luckily, they stand up quickly and move on fast. They also realize the importance of being positive minded. I pray to God to ease my study this semester and let me pass my papers with flying colours. Aamiinn.

Stupidity

I want to share my travelling experience going back to my university. I went out of my house at 4.30 pm, my friend fetched me. We took KTM at Bandar Tasik Selatan, also known as TBS. My friend and I arrived at 5.20 pm. The train schedule is at 6.30 pm. We waited for few minutes at the platform. We could have arrived at Pulau Sebang/Tampin station at 8.00 pm but we took off at the wrong station. It was only one station, we have to wait for an hour and 20 minutes for the next train. We arrived at 10.00 pm at Pulau Sebang/Tampin station. As soon as we arrived, we ate Yong Tau Foo because we are starving!! Then my friend pick us up at 10.30 pm and we arrived at my college at 11.00 pm. That is my journey for today. Lesson learnt. Next time, if you want to go back by bus, please purchase the ticket early, if not, then there is no bus for you anymore.

Second Week

My second week was almost hectic. All is well. The class started on Wednesday because Monday and Tuesday are public holiday. I didn’t go home for the past weekend. It was boring because my roommates went home. I am not scared of staying in the room alone. For those four days of holidays, I just stayed in my room. I ate instant food but if I want to eat a proper meal, then I can get my juniors to buy for me. It was not bullying, they volunteered.

I did my quiz on tax and also done my presentation for entrepreneur subject. I also got a new assignment. Yeayyyy. The presentation was in front of two classes, we did well, I am proud of myself. I hope we get the 5% for our carry mark. For the quiz, we only got five minutes to answer it. I was so nervous but it went well. I thought that I have to answer only one quiz but there were two of it. My lecturer made us do both of the questions. Luckily, I managed to answer it.

Week 2 is done. Looking forward to a new week ahead. My lecturer wants to see our progress on our assignment. Semoga Allah permudahkan.

Money, Where Are You?

The title of the post is so funny but it is not funny when we are in the real situation of not having money. I noticed a lot of new things in this semester. One of it is there are many students selling their products. They have their own business. I guess they want to make money to buy books and for their expenses this semester. I don’t mind, it is good to have this kind of environment, it means they want to find money on their own. I also want to find money on my own. I have my own business selling foods. Also I am so happy that my old books are all sold out. Yeay!!

I did mention about books just now. I am so lucky that my seniors gave me their books so I do not have to buy it. It saves me hundreds. Thank you sis! Saya doakan akak2 dapat dekan! Love you! My friends have to buy new ones and it cost them a lot. I am still searching for free book from my seniors, hope I can get one or two for my friends. Be nice to your seniors, I am not saying that my friends are  not nice to them but they do not have any relations with other seniors before. That is why. Rapat dengan senior bukan sebab nak popular ke apa, tapi sebab inilah, maybe kita boleh dapat buku free, information yang juniors lain tak tahu atau knowledge ke cara belajar yang lebih efektif untuk sesuatu subjek tu. I am still searching for free books, so sabar jap eh kawan-kawan.

For those yang nak berjimat, I suggest you to challenge yourself with the 52-weeks challenge. Just print out any layout and you can start saving. You can get more than a thousand if you save your money with the 52-weeks challenge. I did too. Harap istiqamahlah dalam saving. I spend only for lunch and dinner, I mean I eat heavy meals for lunch and dinner. I spend for about RM10 for two meals and on the weekend, I do not go outside and eat my instant foods. It is not healthy, I know, but only for two days in a week. I do not spend my money on useless things such as things that I don’t need. I just buy necessities. Know your needs and wants. Prioritize your needs than your wants. Lastly, close your eyes when you are near to things that you want to buy. Do not ever stop to see them and have patience in yourself. I hope all is well with your money and lust for your ‘wants’.

Being Busy Holding You Back From Achieving Many Things?

Been thinking to myself, is holding to many positions can hold you back form achieving many things? I think, if you involve with various clubs or organizations in university, you can managed your time more efficiently. That’s one of the achievement isn’t it? Being able to manage your time carefully. Sometimes, we have to count in the smallest thing in our daily life as it may be one of the biggest factor to become successful in life. Being involved in many things do not assure our successful life. Being capable of managing our time for studying and involve in clubs or organizations, that makes us a better person than others who just focused on one thing.

I have friends who just study. Their job is studying. That is it. Okay. They are very polite, nice and always get good marks in examinations. Their CGPA’s are very impressive. I always look up to them but not in overall perspective. I was impressed by the way they are studying. Always on the desk. I would say that is not a healthy way of studying or achieving good GPA. You have to involve in club’s activity or activity that college organize. At least involve in one or two activities of the club’s activities. Many people say we are nerds just because we are excellent in our study. I am a nerd too, I study on my desk for hours but I also involve in my college’s activities. I like being busy, that is who I am. Of course, not everyone is the same. I get jealous when my friends get four flat for their CGPA but not so jealous when I look at their achievement on something else. They achieve nothing other that four flat in their CGPA. What I am trying say is, be active outdoors other that active in studying.

Involving in many activities actually do not hold you back from your studies. It gives you chance to become better. Chance to manage your time. It is also as a preparation for when you are entering your career phase, when you are working later. Involving in things other than studying can teach you many things like how to handle university students, learn how each departments works in events, how to organize events and many more. It teaches us many things. Take opportunity of it. When you are in diploma, it is easy to achieve many things. We are being spoon fed in diploma but later in degree, you have to do it  yourself. The more we get older, the wiser we get. (OH MY GRAMMAR). We become wiser through experience. Experience is very valuable. You will regret if you do not experience it.

 

First Week of My Last Semester Part 2

Hi, this is the continuation of my last post. I want to continue on what happened on the first week of my fifth semester. Okay, I want to talk about how heavenly my schedule is for this semester.

This is my schedule, for now there is no amendment. I have three days of morning class and one day of evening class. This is just the schedule and this is nothing compared to the workloads. Of course we study for the designated times but, the workloads are shitty. Sorry not sorry. Most people thought it was just introductions of the subject but, (there is ‘but’ again in my sentence) we started our first lesson of audit and tax. We even finished one subtopic on that day and there is quiz waiting for us on the next week. We didn’t mind, seriously because we also want to catch up with our lessons faster so that we can have our holidays in peace and also we do not want to replace our class or having extra classes at the end of the fourteen weeks.

For the second day, only god knows how we waited for the evening class. I have plenty of rest, thank you. The third day, we were having fun in the evening and for the fourth day, I took my time sleeping late and wake up late at 10. Even though the schedule is flexible, I have may things to do. For this semester, I was appointed as assistant class rep. My class rep cannot attend the two days of classes, so any work related to that, I handled it the most. I know my class rep is the busiest person in the world, so to lessen his burden, I took care of it. For accounting student, we mostly do our exercise by doing the past semesters. I was the one who photocopied the past semesters question. It was easy because I am also the treasurer of the class. I don’t mind having many positions because I LIKE IT. I like being busy.

I have a new resolution for this semester, I will finish my assignment on the day I get it. I will not procrastinate when it is related to homework and assignments. Assignment is impossible but homework is possible to get it done on that day . Next week, I have a presentation, quizzes, and homework to be submitted. I managed to get it done on Saturday. So, what am I supposed to do now? Haven’t you heard of the word ‘revision’? I think you better get ready for that because time is not waiting for you. Appreciate your time by doing something productive. You can always watch movies in your spare time but not too much because the movies gave you nothing but relaxation. Good luck for your studies!
