I am TOTALLY a beginner in IB programme!
Seeking my NEW identity!
of becoming IB survivor!

This is a reflection and improvement from my SEM 1  result. Just in 15 days, 
In sya allah I will getting back; struggling, living and enjoying; SEM 2. 

Getting to know the NEW identity  of me!

 I called this sem as " The Sem of Strictness". Strict? 

The word itself describe how hectic and fatigue my life will be during 
this sem! Subhanallah! I decided to be strict as it is SO me! I am a 
serious person. I defined the word "serious" is .... Me! myself will give my 
whole COMMITMENT, ATTENTION, and FOCUS in a particular thing or situation. 

Why " The sem of Strictness?"
Because I have to be strict with myself about the TIME!
During SEM 2, I have to gear up! and "SERIOUS" on the Internal Assessment (IA),in Biology,Chemistry and BMS, The Math Exploration, and the Extended Essay (EE)
In addition! Commitment to curiculum, topic test, group work, novel analysis,
TOK and HAFAZAN.
Allahu! Lets feel the heat now!!! The pressure!
for me to realise that I have to " USE" my time really WISELY. Ya Allah! Please
guide me!
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
The clock is ticking....
Managing TIME is absolutely important! 
Surah Al- Asr, the surah specific for time:

Demi Masa!
Sesungguhnya manusia KERUGIAN
melainkan! yang BERIMAN dan BERAMAL SOLEH!

As my state is a STUDENT. Then, I should use "LEARNING" as the way for me and
for US to get Allah swt blessing; His REDHA towards us; His hamba. 

It is time for me to get my new IDENTITY! Adapting in new environment of IB;THE DYNAMIC PROGRAMME. I have change a few things to get myself well adapted to this programme.

I want to focus on LEARNING and TASK. In sya allah!
Be Discipline with the  "TESTIMONIAL METHOD". This show the " strictness" to myself.

Learning

Know your study style: Effective method and time in learning. By identifying your study style, it will save your revision time before examination. I have to change my revision method, as I used to revised ALL the papers and notes,; flipping EACH of the pages before the night of the exam for EACH subjects! Which is ineffective and less SMART! and if I keep on doing this during my degree, then....it is not save!
