Tuesday, 10 October 2006, my friends and i went to breakfast at mamak stall in Kelemak, Malacca. They were 7 of us and actually we all just finished teaching at about 6.20pm. The food was ok but we need to wait for almost half an hour for the food. The service was not ok, maybe they didnt have so many workers to treat a few customers there. That is the only place which we can find 'roti nan'. I think the price here is more expensive compare to other mamak stall in kl as this is the only place or the nearest place where we can find mamak stall. We enjoyed eating the food and we also talked a lot! After that, i went to my friend house to perform maghrib prayer. I went back at Uitm at 8.20pm as i still have a class at 8.30pm. I need to do extra class as i need to complete all the chapters by next week. Insyaallah i can finish all the chapters and my students can get ready for their final exam exactly after raya.
Thursday, 12 October 2006, there were so many students from various groups came to see me at my office. I know that Sociology subject is quite tough and it is difficult to understand. I also need to refer to dictionary so many times before I can teach my students that subject. The problem is, some of my students dont like to refer to dictionary (lazy) if they dont understand and i need to translate for them. It is easier for them to understand when i explain in bahasa but i can't encourage them to be malas to refer to dictionary. I told my students to highlight anything that they dont understand and insyaallah i will make them understand after meeting me.
At 5.30 pm, i went to Thai Kuang Bookstore at malacca town with my program coordinator. Her husband and her daughter also accompanied her. We went to bookstore to buy motivation books, reference books and excercise books for orphanage. We spent for almost rm500! That money is actually from the collection of masscoms'students and masscoms'lecturers at uitm. Then, we went to Tesco to breakfast. We broke fast at Kluang Station restaurant. The food was so delicious and it was the first time for me to eat there. Yum...yum... I think, next time i want to bring my family to eat there. hehe..
Tomorow , the orphonage will come to uitm. We are planning to celebrate them and I hope the event will be successful.
Friday, 13 October 2006, / 20 ramadhan : Mass communication students organized an event for orphanage at Masjid Al-Hikmah, UiTM. During the event, we had tadarus and tazkirah by ustaz from CTU. Then we broke fast at mosque and performed terawih prayer. After terawih prayer, once again we had dinner with the orphanage from Payasum. We had nasyid performance from both sides and we contributed books for them by Dr. Rashid which is our deputy dean from Shah Alam. My opinion is, my students and the orphanage can get long so well as i can see that they were very close to each other. I really hope that my students can motivate them to study hard so that they have ambition to enter to higher education level. I really enjoyed during the event and the food also was so delicious. Puan Noraini who is my program coordinator also satisfied with the event. Congratulation to all mass communication students! Well done! Tuesday, 17 October 2006, After class, i went to UiTM bazaa to buy some food for breakfast. I brokefast at my friends'house. Wednesday, 18 October 2006, I went to Masjid Tanah to buy food and i broke fast at my friends'house in Taman Sutera Indah. Then, i went to Papa Chop Mama Gril with a few friends. After eating there, my friends and I went to Taman Cempaka to buy some stuff for Hari Raya. Thursday, 19 October 2006, This time, I broke fast at KFC in Alor Gajah with my friends after finishing my class at 6.20p.m. Once again, i went to Taman Cempaka to survey baju raya, perfume and so on. It was raining during that rime. Friday, 20 October 2006, It was my last class. My students took few pictures at class. Then, i accompanaied my friends for shopping in Masjid Tanah. I went back to Seremban with my friend by Proton Gen2 after Friday prayer. Then we dropped by at Baza Stadium Paroi to buy some food for breaking fast. At night, i went to KL with my parents.
Today i am not feeling very well. I only had one class in the morning. What i did in class was, i just taught my students Japanese language and than let them dismiss very early. I went back home at 3.00pm. (usually i will be at my office at 8am in the morning and go back home at 6.00pm) Then, i just slept until maghrib. I just ate bread for breaking fast. I also didn't go to mosque to perform terawih prayer. I feel so bad today. What a bad day! Really hope that i am getting well soon. But still, i want to attend to class tomorrow to teach my students writing subject....
p/s: luckly, this thing (fever+cough+headache) usually happeMonday, on the 2nd of October 2006 I broke fast with my students at e-Point, UiTM. Actually i had a class from 6.30 until 9.00 but I changed the schedule to 4.30 until 6.15. The students were very happy as the class finished earlier. So my students and I have time to go to bazaa to buy some food for breaking fast. On that day, after finishing my class at 6.20, two of my students and I went to Bazaa Alor Gajah to buy some food. We were so rushing as it took 15 minutes to arrive there. I bought for them 'satey' and some drinks. At e-Point, the place was very quiet as nobody was there except us. We ate together gether until we all were full. After breaking fast, I went to UiTM mosque to perform terawih prayer and went back home after witir prayer.
Last night on the 3rd of October 2006, I broke fast with my students at D-bomb, UiTM. Once again I broke my fast with my students but this time with different group. We broke our fasting like a party. There were so many food that they bought from outside of UiTM but we ate at Dewan Makan UiTM. In my mind, I was thinking during that time that is it ok to eat here without buying any food from that dewan makan. Actually I did not feel comfortable to eat there but my students said that it is ok. Same like yesterday, I bought satey for my students in Alor Gajah. After eating, we took some pictures like farewell party. It seemed like I will not meet them anymore after this. Please ok! I need to meet you and teach all of you another two times before your final exam. Make another farewell party after this...hehe..

I have just finished watching korean drama series last night. The titile was 'My Girl'. It is a very good drama to watch and i felt really enjoyed. I borrowed the cd from my younger brother. Actually this drama still air on tv at 8TV channel. That night i only slept for less than an hour. Before that i went to mosque and perform isyak and terawih prayer. After that, i recited quran until 12.30 a.m for tadarus. Than i went back home and continued watching the drama until 5.15 a.m. After watching the drama, i went down for sahur and slept after praying subuh at 6.00 a.m. I woke up at 6.40 a.m to get ready to go to work as i needed to depart from my house early, as it took almost 40 minutes to arrive there at uitm lendu.
Actually, the story is about Ju Yoo-rin who is an imposter proficient in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Seol Gong Chan who is the second generation heir of a big corporation. Because of his grandfather's illness, he's forced to ask Yoo-rin to be his long-lost cousin so that his grandfather's last wish can be fulfilled. So therefore, they both are bound in a lie that no one in the family knows the truth. Another character is Kim Sae-hyun who grew up in a rich family and dreams to become a tennis star with the nickname “Sharapova of Korea. Her charm and intelligence attract many men. She and Yoo-rin have cutthroat competitions. Seo Jeong-woo who is a playboy will fall also for Yoo-rin and finally learn to love that special someone.
I really love this drama.. Tha last Korean dramas that i have watched are autumn in my heart, winter sonata, fill good young and full house. I really hope that one day Malaysia can produce like this kind of dramas which can attract many viewers to watch them.

Dear bloggie,
Today, i am so bored as i have nothing much to do. That's why i am here at computer lab to write something to you. Hehe... My students were so happy today as in Malacca, we all will celebrate fasting month. It means, there will be no class on this monday. Actually, i can't wait for Ramadhan month as this month is the best month for all muslims. It's only once in a year. I really hope that during this Ramadhan month, i can be a really good muslim or at least improve a bit in term of iman and amal.
I am planning to have breaking fast with my students during this coming Ramadhan. I hope i can get close with my students here. During this coming Ramadhan also, i have suggested to my students to do well fare activites such as collecting money that can be distributed to the poor students and at the same time celebrate orphanage children somewhere near here in Malacca.
Ok bloggie, i need to go now. I will write to you in some other day. bye!
p/s:
I would love to perform terawih prayer during Ramadhan but unfortunately, i have two night classes during this Ramadhan month. I really hope that i can adjust this schedule so that i would not miss to perform terawih prayer ^_^;
I WANT TO WISH TO ALL MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD, HAPPY FASTING !!!
Yesterday, 16th of September 2006, i attended pedagogi seminar at LG10, UiTM Library. This seminar was actually for all new lecturers at UiTM Malacca. The seminar was about on how to teach effectively to the students. Dr Mizan (director) also came during the morning session. The speaker was En Ghani from Maktab Perguruan Perempuan Malacca. During that day, i was selected to present the method of teaching that can be used in class. It was ok and the seminar finished at 5.oo pm. It was a very tiring day. At night, i slept soo early as i was too tired during that day. Today, i want to start marking my students' sociology paper that they did last friday. I really hope that they can do well for this paper.

Today, I am in kuala lumpur. i just arrived last night from malacca. I am planning to go to Jaya Jusco in Wangsa Maju or Midvalley in KL with my brothers tonight. My brother from Japan has another one week for his holiday, so i must spend my time with him as much as i can. I am also so happy today as i have marked most of my students' assignments. I also have updated my teaching files and my teaching portfolio. That's why i feeeeel goood...
Yesterday, i attended the workshop at UiTM Malacca Library. The workshop was about how to overcome stress. The counselor was Hj Hushim who is from Universiti Malaya. We also discussed the factors of stress and how to face it. The workshop was really interesting and exciting. After discussion, the counselor trained us on how to release stress by doing excersises/aerobics near the lake. Although it very made me tired, but it really made me feeling better. For me, the caunselor is a very great counselor. I learnt a lot from him!
Last 2 days, i attended seminar at LG01, at UiTM library. The seminar was about on how to help students who have problems. The counselor is from UiTM Segamat. The counselor/mentor tried to train the audiences on how to become caunselors or good helpers for the students. Some problems that we discuss were: 'students coming late to class', 'gay students', mak nyah students', 'couple among students','mat rempit among stundets' and many more. It really helps me a lot as i really need the skills to help my problematic students. I hope i can practise it wisely and gives benefit to me and to my students. Insyaallah...
6.30pm/Saturday

p/s: i have so many assignments to mark during this midterm break (-_-`)
“By teaching sociology, I hope I can educate my students to practice good values that we have in Islam. In every issue that I discuss with my students, I will try to mix with the Islamic perspective base on Quran and Sunnah. Hopefully this will help my students to avoid doing bad things and to make them realize that we live in a society as khalifah and have our roles and responsibilities in this world…
Teaching sociology is extremely beneficial in that it enables both student and lecturer to actively study and observe various aspects of social life! It is an exciting, dynamic process that provides gains on a variety of levels. On the professional level, teaching allows me to become more comfortable as a "transmitter of knowledge." In the classroom, my goal is to inspire students to learn and enjoy the actual experience of learning. Because I seek to motivate students to be excited about the material, I attempt to utilize creative, interactive teaching methods. 
As I continue to develop as a lecturer in UiTM, one of my main objectives is to encourage students to think beyond our discussions in the classroom. I like to view our meetings as forums in which the students can come in, learn, and interact with each other. I value each session in the classroom, as it provides an opportunity for growth for both the students and myself. I want to share with the students the benefit of viewing our world and its happenings through a "sociological eye."
Furthermore, I continue to make an effort to construct activities that are more directly linked to key sociological concepts, I hope to improve the learning process in my classes. By implementing more interactive activity that provides the students with active roles, it is my ultimate hope that I can help students think more deeply both inside and outside the box of social life.
As I am also teaching “Critical Thinking and Writing”, I will try to make the students always think deeply about certain issues and find the solutions in how to solve certain issues. In my class, I always make discussion about certain issues that they can compare, argue, and choosing the options. I train my students to do brainstorming or ta’aruf with their groups’ members which they also need to do presentation after discussing each issue.
Lastly, learning is a journey that never ends. My ultimate goal as a lecturer is to provide the students with the absolute best education possible. I want to show them that I care and have their best academic interest at heart. I hope that these ideals are evident in my teaching and reaching. It is my aim to inspire each and every student to greater heights in learning.

On the 1st of September 2006 (Friday-after merdeka day), my family made Doa Selamat/Kesyukuran ceremony at my house in Malacca. It was just a simple ceremony. It begun after maghrib prayer. Many people came for the ceremony especially from mosque and taman area. Furthermore, a few of my friends from uitm also attended for the ceremony. The menus were 'kari daging' and 'sambal udang'. Thanks a lot for my neighbours who helped my mother to cook the food. Although it was just so simple, it was really happening.

On 19th of August 2006, masscomm students had organized the induction day with their seniors from Shah Alam. There were 2 buses from Shah Alam came to UiTM Lendu in Malacca. Their purpose was to get know their juniors and to declare them as their juniors. I can see that they really had fun during the day. They easily can forget about their assignment, their presentation and so on and at the same time they can release their pressure during that day. They also organized ‘sukannerka’ which made me laughed all the time especially ‘ulat bulu’ tournament. Two lecturers who were mr jamaluddin and mr roslan from shah alam came for the induction day. By having this kind of activity, hopefully the relationship between juniors and seniors will become much closer and tight. I really enjoyed the cheers that they had presented during the induction day. They were very creative in creating cheer performance and looked really active during that day. At the end of the event, we took the pictures with juniors, seniors and lecturers. Lastly, I hope that this kind of event can be organized for every semester and becomes the tradition for uitm masscomm students in Malacca.
Today, on 21st of August 2006, I was so happy as my students made surprised party for me. Although my birthday had already past for 4 days, they still tried to celebrate it with me in my class. They bought a chocolate cake for me. It was so delicious! We ate the cake after maghrib and continue
our class after maghrib prayer. I let my students take a break for almost 40 minutes! I didn’t celebrate for my birthday for almost 2 years. That’s why I felt so excited with the birthday party. I really appreciate in what they have done to me. Once again, thank you so much!

Alhamdulillah, today 16th of august 2006, i am 26 now. i always think in my mind, what i have achieved in my life? in term of education, i have finished and done my upsr, pmr, spm, matrix, degree and master. what's next? hopefully i can do my pHd after this, insyaallah. in term of working, i have worked as a sales promoter, public relations officer (trainee), teacher (skba), lecturer at international college (iic) and now i am working as a lecturer at public university (uitm). i think, this is the last place and the best place for me to work. everything after this, i hope i can get from this university. i am thinking that i will work here until at the end of my life.... (until i retired laa...) i dont think that i will try to find and searching for other job vacancies anymore. This is the place where i belong since i have studied from this university for 7 years! I really enjoy teaching and educating students at the same time. that's what suit to me. I really comfortable and i will try to improve my skills to become a very good lecturer. I need to be strong to face all the challenges as i know, it is not easy to be an educator / lecturer.
Life? emm... i think it is time for me to have my own family. Actually i am planning to get married before i am 27 years old. It means, now i need to work hard to find my life partner. Hehe.. my problem is, i want it but i never try to find it seriously. Starting from this age, i will work harder about it. for the preparation to get married, i have prepared since i worked as a teacher in the year 2004. what i plan is, i get married first and than i want to buy a comfortable car and i want to have my own house. When i was young..... (but now i think, i am still young..hehe...) ehem.. i always want to buy a sport car. But now, i want to marry first and have a family's type of car. For your information, i still use kancil until now although i have work for almost 3 years... nothing to be proud of... but at least i have a car to go to work for almost everyday.
In term of friends or during my socialization process, i have met many friends. Some of them become my close friends until now. I still remember my ex-classmate when i was a masscomm student at uitm in shah alam. We really had fun as students and enjoyed a lot. finally we graduated after 5 years doing degree in shah alam. During my master, i also met many friends. i still remember during my master class, i was the youngest student in class. The socialization process was a bit harder as they were so many pakcik and makcik (abg/kakak). I tried to adapt the environment there and alhamdulillah, i can become part of them. hehe i became more matured when i mixed with them. the best experience that i had is, when i was a lecturer at iic. Although i only worked there for only one year, i got so many good friends which made me feel like brother and sister. lecturers at iic especially from centre for languages (cel) you are really like my brothers and sisters... i will always remember you all until the end of my life....
I am happy for what i am now as i can help my parents and my grandparents since i work last 3 years ago . Thanks to them as they are the one who made me become a good person (bolehlaa). i want to make sure that i can provide anything that they need as they have sacrificed a lot to make me become what i am now. I just want to see them always happy. I also want to go to umrah for the 4th time and bring all my family there. Hopefully my wish is come true.
p/s: now i am using my previous phone number, HOTLINK.
On the 28th of July 2006 (Friday) my 2nd younger brother, my neighbour and i went to watch cinema at Mahkota Parade. We watched Dragon Tiger Gate and Pirates of Caribbean at midnight. It started from 9.30 and finished almost at 3.00 am! We were really enjoyed watching the movies. Both movies were quite good. I was so excited watching 'Dragon tiger gates' as it showed many actions like kung-fu and i also have read the comic 'Jejak Wira' which made me knowing all the characters and the story line, while pirates of caribbean had so many humours which made me laughed all the time.
I have watched fanaa, x-men3, dragon tiger gates and pirates of caribbean in a month. I really enjoyed watching movies but actually i really hope that it's not becoming part of my habits. I plan to stop watching movies for this month.... or may be until raya.... so i can save my money to buy other necessary things. Hehehe... i hope so. But actually, i have already planned to watch Ghost Rider and Spiderman 3... coming soon and i can't wait!!!
Last weekend on the 30th of July 2006, i bought a new hand phone at Malacca Central with my father. For the time being i am using this number : (DIGI)016-6249350. Insyaallah i will try to get my previous phone number back as i need to go and find MAXIS centre in Malacca Raya.
For those who know me outside there, do contact and keep in touch with me k! I will let you all know if i have used my previous phone number. Wassalam...
Yesterday on 21st of July 2006, after finishing my friday prayer, i lost the only thing that i had which i always brought together with me, it was my hand phone! I don't care if the thief wants to take my hand phone but the most important thing is the simcard which it had all my friends' phone numbers. I tried to catch the thief but unfortunately, I was in 'kaki ayam' (didn't wear slipper). I just shouted at him… One of the witnesses said that the guy who stole my hand phone is from her school (no need to mention the school's name). Then, immediately I went to the school and met a few teachers there. They said that the thief is a really bad student and had done so many bad cases at school. Actually I didn't want to let the police get involved in this case but the teacher asked me to do so.
After I met the teachers at school in Alor Gajah, I immediately went back to UiTM to attend the meeting with the pengarah. After meeting, I went to police station in Mercham to do a police report. I met Tuan Salim, the police officer there and he wanted me to accompany him and his team to go to the thief's house. Unfortunately that night, the thief was not there. The sad thing is, the student's mother is an ustazah. I was really shocked and felt guilty to her as it involved the police case. I told the policeman that I just want my hand phone back and I wanted to cancel the police report.
The police officer said to me that he will try to get the hand phone from the student and if he (the thief) gives good cooperation, he will cancel the police report after brainwashing him.
Hopefully I can get my hand phone back. If I can't get my hand phone back, I need to accept it as my Qada' and Qadar. I will wait for a week. If I still don't get my hand phone, I need to buy a new one and try to get all my friends' phone numbers back. Through this blog also, I really hope that all of my friends outside there who really know me can email to me your phone numbers.
-_- what a bad day -_-
I bought this hand phone when i was still a degree student at UiTM Shah Alam. I also used it when i was a master student, a teacher at SK Bandar Anggerik and when i was a lecturer at IIC.... So many memories that i had from this hand phone....
Good bye NOKIA 3200...........
Good bye my friends, good bye my students

I need to take this opportunity to teach here in Malacca just to fulfill my ambition to further my PhD under government scholarship.
