"To Cheat or not to be cheat"

Cheat is a person that fools other, or tricks other to get something. It is such a short way that is easier for them to get or achieved their targets. Should cheating in examination be taken as a serious offense? Actually, yes..it should be taken as a serious offense. Don't be cheating in the examination, is the one example of policy or rules in the most university. Most of the students like to cheat in examination without think about the effect on it. Cheating will be a crime if you are caught cheating in examination. You can be expel from the examination and repeat the subject again or you can be expel from university, it is depends on the university's rules. Imagine that you as a student are caught cheating....all eyes on you, yours tied tongue, caught cheating in front of the whole class-what an embarrassment, everyone know that you are  cheating!! For me, it is better not to be cheat. Try to trust yourself that you can do that.

So,don't try to be cheat, one day you going to be caught! watch out!!

A positive thing that I'm going to do during the mid-semester break is..

Mmmmm...actually, it is all about going to do the assignment, laboratory report and study during the mid - semester break. But, before doing that..I think the first thing that I need to do during the mid semester break is rest. Don't want think about works for a while, because I was planning to come back home late due to do the Principle of Programming (C++) assignment. It is seem like difficult to do the assignment alone at home, so I prefer to do that assignment with my friend. Furthermore, for me to do the all that works at home during the break need some spirit. This is because the lazy behavior to do the works during the break is quite difficult to control, hee.. So, enjoy for a several day..then after that I will proceed to study and do the laboratory report and assignment. That is the planning..but sometimes when I'm at home, it is always like over-enjoy until I forget about my works,lalala... If that is happen during this break, I need to come back to MICET earlier. If not, all the assignment and laboratory report cannot be done..huh!

simPle n fiNger-linkiN' meat cocoons...

Here I love to share with you some of the most dish that I like the most. Actually, in Malay, it has been called pegedil meat ball. The meat cocoons named by my younger cousin who had been severely influenced by Animal Planet and Discovery Channel.  This dish is very simple to made and you may even made it at the hostel using rice cooker.

 

Here comes the recipes :

Ingredient needed ( 4 people ):

• 5 seed potatoes - cut into wedges and fry it for 5 min
• 2 large scoops of grounded beef - depends on  you to put how much...[ for me, the plentiful is a pleasure =) ]
• 1 large onion - diced
• coriander leaves ( daun sup ) - finely sliced
• black pepper powder or seed  [ I am suggesting a seed of black pepper where it opening appetite .]
• a pinch of salt
• 1 chicken egg - beaten

Procedure (^_^) :

• mash the fried potatoes before being added with the grounded beef coriander leaves and diced onion
• put black pepper powder and salt
• scoop some dough, insert the black pepper seed (optional), form a round and flatten slightly
•  heat the oil, dip the flatten dough in the eggs and fry until golden brown
• ready to serve (^_^)

Note: Do not regularly stir the newly inserted dough in the frying pan which it will be scramble up in the immersing oil. Others, flip the dough with small spoon to reduce the potential of being scrambled. Happy trying. Maybe it makes you sweat a little bit(~.~"), but the result is worth it.

Why election is important...

For me, election is all about selection. The right selection will bring happiness or otherwise, it wills just becoming horrible. The right election will provide the right path to bring those resurrection issues to be discussed on the higher level and it is important for student to elect so that their voice is clearly heard of. Thus, the selection do create the laws that impact every aspect of voters’ lives; from student issues in campus such as parking and other facility problem, beside to increasing the minimum wage to protecting the right to vote. 

GREAT LEADERS are not born, they are made.

           Leader?, what are leader means?. Leader is a person that  lead a group of people to achieve the objectives of the group. For centuries there are debates on either the great leaders are born or been made. But in our opinions, the leaders are been made, not born. 

 Leader need to show the good examples for his/her followers

            Actually the word of made is suit to be replace with 'train' as it sound a bit weird  for human being. Besides that, an individual can make improvements or sharpen the leadership skills through many programs that have been organized by governments or non-government. The idea on leader are born not been made is not very much accepted as if one day there is no leader are born among us, are we will live without a leader?. The answer is of course not. Just imagine for example, the ships boarding at the sea without a captain, how on earth the ship crew will determine their aim and destination?. One things for sure, the chaos situations are failed to avoid.

           

'Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.' --Vince Lombardi

'The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born -- that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.' --Warren G. Bennis

Always ready to take any risk is one of the leader responsibility

              Even the famous and great philosophers mentioned that leaders are been made, not born. Actually, it can deny that someone has born with extra leader characteristics than others, but this behavior and skills can be polish and develop so that we will not face the problem that have been stated above. In conclusion, based on the point given, great leaders are made, not born.

Before and after watching the Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa film

 

The logo

Before

          To be honest, when first time I heard about Merong Mahawangsa, I'm not really sure who he is although his name sounds quite familiar to me. Before watching it, I thought that this film might be just the same with others Malay film which their trailer and rumors are superb but after watching it, there are not that great. In order to complete my final tasks of blogging for technical communication subject, I've then made a decision to watch it besides the gossip and rumors that attract my attention why a Pan-Asian actor got the starring role (Stephen Rahman Hughes) for Malay history film?.

 Kesum and Embok that lit Merong grudge towards Geruda

After

          My overall comment for this film is, the best Malay film I've ever watch. There is no need to make a comparisons between our local film with outsider such as Pirates Carribean or The Lords of Rings as obviously there are winner and so much things need to be improved in this Merong film. It is not an easy task to make an epic historical film but then, this film give a different views on its storyline and Malays quality film as the computer generated imagery, CGI effects and all those thing are good and match with the cost of RM8million!. Fuhh..KRU studios are really rich..haha.

Enough with all compliments, as any single things in this world has the pro and contras, so do this film.

1. Although the CGI effect was good, but some parts in this film especially in war seems not real as the scattered blood was clearly seen edited by using computer. I believe if the cost was added to another 6 to 7 million, this mistake might be covered. But Yusry(the film director) no need to worries as this lack did not deface the excitement on this film.
2. Is a bit weird when the dialogues between princess Meng Li Hua(Chinese Princess) and her hand maiden, Ying Ying was in English. Why not they just use Mandarin for their communication and give the english translation?. Basically, we are tend to speak our language rather than other language when we are in the group of same race. 
3. As we know, Stephen Rahman Hughes not a malay and can't speak malay very well. Due to this reason, when he speaks malay in this film, some of it sound a bit funny as the slang of english and malay language was there. It seems that Merong  as a malay warrior in this film, more fluent speaking in english rather than malay!..haha

            In conclusion, this film was good. The lackness and mistake can be improved and honestly I think that this film was a pioneer to produce more good movies in future in Malaysia.

1. Love notes

It is a simple but looks encumbering for a boys. And these kind of junkie for boys, being a powerful medicine for girls rather than a diamond. Believe me, its working almost all the time. I am suggesting boys to give love notes for their girls based on boys talent. For example, at my school before, there is a guys making a mammoth bouquet of paper roses to his girl. Amazingly with their name in every petal on each roses. Hurmm, I thought everyone, in that time, wanna be the boys girl. Aren't you?..Me? Sure is=). Here, there are some secret that I want to share with boys. When a girls get touched by boys word or actions, they wont find things that boys bought for them. They will find loves notes or messages that reminding them how care and love the boys to her first. Girls right?? So, think on your own what your girls love and make something on the way to carve your name in your girls heart. Happy trying.  

^ Origami love notes ^

David beckham about giving gifts: 

" If you love someone, you want to treat them, 

surprise them, and remind them how you feel, 

whether that means a weekend away somewhere, 

or a bowl of fruit in the morning laid 
out in the shape of a heart. 
I know Victoria thinks I'm romantic like that."

But the types of gift that you want 
to give to her is depends on the types of your girls. 
Not all girls have the same taste, 
watch out and find it! 
You will get the clues what types of things that 
your girls most interested and 
find the best action to express your love =)

 Good luck, have a nice day with your lover(^_*)

Birth Order Trait

Psychologists claim that our birth order determines our character. Previous studies claim, among others, that:

the eldest child: more responsible, mature, often a perfectionist, a good leader, higher IQ, low self-esteem

the middle child (any child born between the eldest and the youngest): not an over achiever, creative, artistically inclined, often felt neglected, lack of direction.

the youngest child: often get away with anything, not independent, often not taken seriously.

What do you think: is it true that we're all purportedly born with traits/ character that matches our birth order, or is it simply a made-up condition?

The task that needs to be completed for this week is a bit tough. All of us need to go through each point given in the statement above and give our opinion. Basically the point that will be given was come up from our own experience or peoples around us.

Birth Order Trait is actually informations that can explains how an individual life and characters were going by being the eldest one, the middle child and also the youngest born. Here some experiences from all of us that we like to share with all of you.

From the eldest until the youngest

The things that can be conclude from the claims is most of it was true and a bit of it was not. 

• For the eldest child, only the low self-esteem behaviour we're not agreed. For me, (nabihah) I did not think that the eldest child has a higher IQ.

1. The eldest brother of mine (izzah) for example, his can communicate confidence with the new people that he meet. It also was easy for him to convince people. Besides, i've never heard him mutter about his life. 
2. Meanwhile, for my eldest sister (amalina), it is a bit same with izzah's eldest brother and the strong prove of it is she was a debater in UIA not a long time ago (Islamic International University). High confidence level, easy to influence people and expert in convince people for decisions making.
3. In my opinion, (nabihah) i'm not agree with the first child has a higher IQ. As the eldest child in my family, I always feel my others sibling was smarter than me. I can not find the strong prove of it but maybe this opinion was due to my low self-esteem. 

• For the middle child, all of us share the same thought which we didn't agree with the point of not an over achiever. My dad for example (izzah) is a middle child in his family and yet he is the over achiever. Among his siblings, he is the one that manage to further study in higher level. It does mean that my aunts did not success in their life and studies, but the opportunity and the education institution wasn't much at their times. Furthermore, the way of thinking of the older like my grandparents was a bit different. For daughters, it's better for them to learn on how to be a good housewife rather than have a high education.
• For the youngest child, we're totally agreed with all the points claimed. Our youngest brother or sister was often get away with anything, not independent, often not taken things seriously and another points that we like to add is easy to be influence and cannot decide the important things in their life by themselves. 

One of us is the eldest child and the others of us were middle child

Finally, from all the contention, it can be simplified that all of us agreed with the most of the claims make by the prior researchers and thus make birth order trait is a valid theory.

{ Got inspired by these inspiring song and story }

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!

I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
bring me down!
ohh ohhh ohhhh!

There is the song that always work on me when I do felt down whatever problems bash into my head. Hope it will help you guys too. Here, a story that give me some-kind of goosebumps. The good one actually. It teach me to appreciating peoples who love me yes. Go through these stories and you'll understand what I've been saying.

Passing Along A Little Spark

Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer that students (especially boys!) begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother's dream to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student. Well, Robby began with his piano lessons and from the beginning I thought it was a hopeless endeavor. As much as Robby tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed his scales and some elementary pieces that I require all my students to learn.

Over the months he tried and tried while I listened and cringed and tried to encourage him. At the end of each weekly lesson he'd always say, "My mom's going to hear me play someday." But it seemed hopeless. He just did not have any inborn ability. I only knew his mother from a distance as she dropped Robby off or waited in her aged car to pick him up. She always waved and smiled but never stopped in.

Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to pursue something else. I also was glad that he stopped coming. He was a bad advertisement for my teaching!

Several weeks later I mailed to the student's homes a flyer on the upcoming recital. To my surprise Robby (who received a flyer) asked me if he could be in the recital. I told him that the recital was for current pupils and because he had dropped out he really did not qualify. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. "Miss Hondorf... I've just got to play!" he insisted. I don't know what led me to allow him to play in the recital. Maybe it was his persistence or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be all right.

The night for the recital came. The high school gymnasium was packed with parents, friends and relatives. I put Robby up last in the program before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and I could always salvage his poor performance through my "curtain closer."

Well, the recital went off without a hitch. The students had been practicing and it showed. Then Robby came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair looked like he'd run an eggbeater through it. "Why didn't he dress up like the other students?" I thought. "Why didn't his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?"

Robby pulled out the piano bench and he began. I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen Mozart's Concerto #21 in C Major. I was not prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were light on pianissimo to fortissimo...from allegro to virtuoso. His suspended chords that Mozart demands were magnificent! Never had I heard Mozart played so well by a person his age. After six and a half minutes he ended in a grand crescendo and everyone was on their feet in wild applause. Overcome and in tears I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. "I've never heard you play like that Robby! How'd you do it?" Through the microphone Robby explained: "Well Miss Hondorf...remember I told you my mom was sick? Well, actually she had cancer and passed away this morning. And well....she was born deaf so tonight was the first time she ever heard me play. I wanted to make it special." There wasn't a dry eye in the house that evening. As the people from Social Services led Robby from the stage to be placed into foster care, I noticed that even their eyes were red and puffy and I thought to myself how much richer my life had been for taking Robby as my pupil. No, I've never had a protigi but that night I became a protigi... of Robby's. He was the teacher and I was the pupil. For it is he that taught me the meaning of perseverance and love and believing in yourself and maybe even taking a chance in someone and you don't know why.

(A footnote to this story) After serving in Desert Storm, Robby was killed in the senseless bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April of 1995, where he was reportedly....playing the piano. And now, a footnote to the story.

- John Deru-

"Do you think we should give monetary incentives to the KP2 students to motivate them to get better grades?"

Educational leaders these days are consistently challenged to find innovative ways to maximize learning outcomes for students whom facing a failing problem in their studies.  Some of the most recent approaches aimed at improving student achievement that has emerged in other colleges and universities systems involve paying students cash for a better grade. So now, MICET are starting to deliberate these approach to be implemented in here, MICET.

First thing first, I think that everyone in MICET are already noticed about the pulling back off the loan given by the sponsor towards KP2 student. This situation I strongly believe will encumbering students. Why not, the fees per semester for degree are nearly 7k and for diploma 4k++. For a student’s that came from a wealthy family, it is not such a biggies. But what happen for an average student?? So, in my opinion, I do believe in second chance. I do. For me, failing in studies is not wrong. What is been wrong is you don’t learn from the mistakes that been done. Besides, failure in study is not the end of everything, but actually the starts of something. Remember?? It is such a pity for students who once fall are not given his/her second chance to start to walk again. All of us did fall in life at least once right?

My theory :

[ Lack of self-confidence ] + [ No money ] = [ Pressure arose ]= | Quit in studies or maybe in Life!! |

The tension derived just creating pressure and that only making student losing their focus, and it is not helping though. It is just not the way of helping, isn’t it? Thus, holding a second chance could give a psychological impact on students and also parents. Besides, it is such a lost to MICET to giving up to these students and the sequence is, our country losing students in this field. It is interrelated, could you see that. One fact that rarely people realized is students with lack of theory is such an expert in technical work. For me, it is too wasteful if giving up too early to students with unpeeled ability. 

So, in conclusion I think that monetary incentives should be given  to KP2 students in order to helping  them “defying gravity’’ and start all over again.
