Myself Working as a Promoter

          Apart working as a waitress on weekdays, I also take a chance being a promoter on weekends. I started off being a promoter of an imported brand sausage. It is rarely known and it is quite hard to promote it to public since it is also expensive. The brand name is Lukas. you can try to browse this website to know more about this brand, www.lukas.com.my . The challenge being the promoter of this product is that people keep asking and doubting about the HALAL certificate of this product. Even after I showed them the certificate they still doubting the product. So this makes me feel quite uneasy at times. For this brand, I even have the cooking utensils and table to display the brand. It is really an interesting experience to have done that. 

          After working on this product for a month, I've got other offers which is to be promoter for Nutri Plus tempura nuggets. I'm more comfortable to work here because the place is much closer to my house. So, I can save the petrol money. I work here as a month also and got the acceptance letter to Kolej Mara Banting. Along my journey working as a promoter, I learn a lot the real feeling of rejections. When you are promoting something while the public just ignored us and not even look at us. Not even a smile or acknowledgement. This kind of rejections can demotivate us but be as tough as diomand because there is a lot more to be ventured in this life. The values that I learn about being a promoter is to appreciate the people in the surrounding and always smile to other people. Sometimes, even with a smile we can bright up someone day. Make everyone happy and help them to create a delightful working environment.

Myself Working as a Waitress

          I was really determine to get a job after SPM. I want to learn the hardships of making money and be much closer to public. Why? Because I was from a boarding school. So, I didn't get enough exposure on how the outside world works and behave. So, I put much effort in securing a job and that effort ends when a cafe called me to inform that I successfully appointed as a waitress there. I was really glad and cannot wait to start the my first day of working.

          The first day is quite tough for me in the sense of adapting with the environment. This is because most of the employees were from Kelantan and I am not clear enough their dialect. However as time goes by, I can understand well. Another thing is how other employees looked the freshies. It feels like I did wrong and feeling downgraded. To conclude, my existence there is not welcoming. Everytime I feel down, I'll try to remember my real intentions of getting a job, which is to learn the real meaning of hardships and to know people well. 

          When the time flies, I got adapted well with the environment and also the other employees. There were all kind but only during the beginning is when the seniority plays role. It's just the same when I was in boarding school. Seniority takes place everywhere. I'm not offending the culture because seniority will teach the youth how to respect elders. However, if the seniority hinder any new or fresh ideas from the youth then only I disagree this kind of seniority concept. 

          All in all, I love the working experience that I had eventhough truth to be told the income is quite small. Always remember, ask yourself what is your initial intention when doing something.

My Social Work Activities

          In 2010, I have visited an old folks house in Selangor. The concept of visit is not mainly on the donation part but is more towards making the elders happy. So, I was assign to plan activities with them share the loves with them. We made performance, played games and also had a sharing session with them. Older people have a sensitive heart and we need to be careful with our words while talking. In conclusion, the I had so much fun during the visit. 

          In 2012, my friends and I were given an amount of money and need to spend the money in respective house that we were assigned to go. We ended up need to help a single mother which her house got no furniture at all and not much food to sustain in a long period. We started by having a really long sharing session with the old lady and start off working to renew the house environment. We make some decorations and apply rubber mat on the floor. We also bought her new cooking utensils and detergent as well. This is really something that is totally new to me. 

          In 2015, my friends and I work on a donation project for the orphanage in Tawau, Sabah. We did a lot of things to raise fund. We make calls, send emails and make appointments with a lot of people to raise fund. Other than that, we also selling goods and foods regularly. We planned the trip tp Sabah really well and make time with the children. It feels really exciting because I have never been to Sabah or Sarawak before. I also learn a new dialect there. We received a warmth welcoming and we bid farewell on the same day. I feel the satisfaction of doing this project when we successfully passed on the money to the orphanage home.

My International Participation

         
          My International Participation in many kinds of events started during my form 4 year, which is in 2012. The first programme that I involved in is the Cultural Exchange Programme in Philippine. This is my first time boarding an airplane and make a passport. In school, I always had this feeling of downgraded whenever I need to talk in english. However this programme has spark the courage in myself that actually everyone can and need to talk in English if they want to improve their proficiency. 

          During this programme, I was paired with one of my friends to be adopted by this one family. During this programme, we stay at their house and they were all kind to us. I really appreciate their kindness and my friend and I adapt well in their house. That is the first time I'm wearing shoe/slipper in home. It's kind of weird at first but I try my best to learn their living cultures there. There is a lot of time I made mistakes while converse because I'm just a beginner who wanted to practise English but everytime I did mistakes, I pushed away the shameful feeling that will going to affect my confidence. 

          I continue my international participation when I usually volunteered myself in international programmes whereby as a liaison officer who will usher the international delegates along the programme. I have been assisting the Indonesians, Egyptians, Australians and also Thailand. Somehow, I feel quite sad because I don't have any pictures with them, because in school we cannot bring any phones. We can bring camera, but I didn't do that and now I am regretting for not doing so. However not to worry, because I captured those memories and feelings in my heart. 

          Recently in UKM, I've been selected for a mobility programme to Tokyo on this January 2017. I can't wait to go there because other than I eager to meet the people, I also looking forward to experience winter. I want to learn a lot if things from all over the world because I believe it really plays a big role in moulding a global mind in me. I hope to bring good things to the whole world and break upon any nationality borders among the nations. We are all human beings who help each others and language will be the medium for us to interact.

The Beginning of My University Journey

          Actually my first semester have not finished yet, but I just want to share how do I adapting my university life and balance my study performance. Actually I never knew that UKM is using fully Malay Language in the curriculum. So, personally I feel quite surprised with this because I never learn any of my subjects in Malay Language. I am coping to this situation by borrowing malay reference books from the library. In the beginning I keep on paying fine for late renewing books fron the library. Sooner, I get used to it and know how to manage my borrowed books well. 

          So, during mid semester exam, my marks were not revealed except for accounting subject. I've managed to get B for this subject. I know it is not something to be proud of, but I already satisfied with the result. I am not an account student, and I never learn it anywhere. I do feel pressure and always feel reluctant to go to class because I feel like I am the dumbest person in the class. I sit among the students who master accounting quite well. I aimed to do much better for my final semester exam.

My IB Diploma Programme Years

          Whenever I said that I am in International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme student, then people will ask me what is IB. This programme is a 2 years of preparation program to oversea. So IB is a curriculum which made up of six subject groups and the programme core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay. Through the programme core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service. 

          There are a lot of components will be assessed in this programme that sometimes people said that IB students do not have life. Yes, I would agree that we are busy, but not having life is too exaggerating. Main key to success in this programme is time management. Truth to be told, I did not manage to go to oversea because I didn't pass the exam. It is the saddest thing that ever happen in my life, but to keep on feeling sad is just not me. I am an optimistic people. So I stand up again and venturing my future positively. This is an era where I hit the bottom rock line and I promise to myself that I do not want to fail in my study again. Life is like a wheel, sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down.

My Secondary School Years

          Being gathered among the intellectual students, makes the competition becomes harder. I always be in the top 60. My best achievement during secondary school is in 2009 which I successfully  placed 8th. Two biggest exam during secondary years, is PMR (Penilaian Menengah Rendah) and SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia). 

          I sat for my PMR exam in 2011. During this time I was the assistant batch leader and at the same time is the class representative for class 3 Usaha. Being in this position makes me to do some brainstorming with other batch high committees to come out with a module that can ensure the flying colours of the whole students in the batch. We have mentoring session, mock test session and tutoring session. We even provide one-to-one session with students that have problems in mastering the subjects. During PMR, we have 8 subjects and I successfully secured 8A's.

          In 2013, I sat for my SPM exam. I think this exam is quite tough because along the 2 years of struggling, I involve with quite a lot of extracurricular activities. It's hard to comprehend certain things, when you missed some classes and need to study on my own. My academic performance was fluctuating in 2012 but becoming stable again in 2013. I took science stream which is Biology Chemistry and Physics for my SPM and total subjects are 9. Thank God, I successfully attained 5A+ and 4As.

My Primary School Years

          From 2003-2005, I have always been the top 2 in class. Maybe class placement is randomly distributed. So, the competition is not that tough. But when the class has been filtered every year in 2006-2008, I've become the top 10. Then, it shows I am not that smart enough to put on hold the top 2 achievement. Don't worry, my parents still give me morale support to keep on striving the best in my academic affairs. 

          However, truth to be told the major concern of primary school students is the Public Examination, UPSR (Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah). This exam is like an assessment for me to get into boarding school or any excellence school for my secondary school years. UPSR consists of 5 subjects during 2008. It was Bahasa Melayu Pemahaman, Bahasa Melayu Penulisan, Bahasa Inggeris, Matematik dan Sains. 

          Luckily, I successfully had 5A's in UPSR and on top of that, I received an offer to a boarding school in Cyberjaya. I am so happy that I can make my parents proud with that achievement.
