Interview Program Ijazah Dalam dan Luar Negara dan Cemerlang IPMa sesi 2014/ 2015

MARA interview 

April 26, 2014

I still remember that moment. It was a year ago. 
Being the SPM leaver, I spent almost 3 months of my time just to fill up
the scholarship forms,
I did it all by myself. Just getting the opinion from my parents about
important things.

Went to the interview session, met with a lot of incredible people.
Developing my ability to give opinion  and express my thought.
The important thing is the CONFIDENT and POSITIVE THINKING.

I was in Kolej MARA Banting, the last place for my interview 
as this was the last scholarship I applied, the tenth one.
after Maybank, Petronas, JAD-MJHEP, Yayasan Khazanah, IPG, JPA and others
and this was the only scholarship that offered medicine course.
Which is SO Me!!! Who loves to interact with others. 
and LOVES to help people.

It was my only hope! the last opportunity for me to do my very best.
A day before the interview, I stayed at one of the hotel near KMB.
That night, it was a stage where I nearly gave up.
I failed in the Petronas interview which was being held at UTM, Kuala Lumpur.

but, it was not the end of the world. 
" Tomorrow will be my day! My day! In sya allah!"

The attire for tomorrow is sport attire?
Are we going to have a physical test? Just like IPG?
Everyone in the SBP group keep on wondering,
Guessing what will be the activity.
If it is a physical test; I would love it so much!
I have lost a lot of weight during the past 3 months.
Yes! Hopefully I can do my best. Being active and energetic.

Then, the day come. It was Saturday morning, 
Wearing my sport shoes, my heart was pounding as I was extremely nervous
Extrapolating to the maximum level.
8 am in the morning. We were required to gather in the hall
Wow! Subhanallah! There are too many people!
Too many students!
and absolutely!
Too many competitors!
I guessed it was about 200+. Just for Medicine course to Ireland!
Only 60 student will be chosen.

Mashallah!
Is it possible for me?
Yes! In sya allah! Just be myself.

Okay, my interview session was at 12 noon. 
We were divided into a group of 10 members.
The interview 100% in English Language.
The first interview was:

1) Group discussion 
We were given a picture of a respectful leader.
It was our former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir!
My idol! He was great! hehe I adore him so much!

Then, the interviewers which were actually the lecturer itself asked us to 
discuss about Tun Dr. Mahathir's contributions to our country.
It was a very broad discussion. My group-mate provided a lot of information
and we talked comfortably.

Basically, that aim of this activity is to evaluate our soft skills in communication
and our knowledge about this country. About what was currently happened in this 
world or precisely about the global issues.

2) Individual Response
The interviewer asked 1 question to each one of us but differ from others.
As far as I remember it was about the Islamic teaching.
Which was totally surprised us!
We were questioned with:
Groupmate 1: Opinion about Hudud
Groupmate 2 :5 pillar of Islam in english
Groupmate 3: Reciting doa qunut
Groupmate 4: Which is me! Hehe. about why I wear Hijab
Groupmate 5: Rakaat in Solat Jenazah

I am sorry, I can remember only this 5 questions. But, some of us can't answer
the question completely. Maybe because she/ he was so nervous.

You know what? Just relax and answer what you have in mind. Take a minute, construct your sentence and go for it! Confidently! Yeah!
Show them that you can  do it!

3) Group activity
We were given 5 minutes of break. During this moment, there was an evaluation 
form. We need to evaluate our friend' s performance for the 2 previous activity.
Fuh! It was not easy at all because they were my competitors.
But, I believe if you help people, then Allah swt will ease your way to get the scholarship. In sya allah.

Okay, our last activity, was the climax of this interview
as it was the answer to our sport attire!
We gonna play a game!
It was called a " Shrinking blanket"
A piece of paper will be folded up to the smallest length
Then, we have to figure out the way to make sure
No toe touch the ground.
It was impossible right?

From 10 members we were divided into 3 groups.
And at a certain period the game was on with songs and excitement.
Then, as the game end, we sat on the chair giving our own reflections 
of the activity.

The reflection will be about the leadership, teamwork, tolerance and wisdom.

It was an experience for me. Flashing back this wonderful time.
Make me realize how grateful I am to be in KMB now
pursuing in International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
for Medicine course.

and with that! I will strive till the end in this journey. Amin!

My 10 groupmate! Our memory together will never fade away!

" Empowering the Spirit of Young Researchers"

They are remarkable! and Awesome!

Are they human or what?

Totally! their own masterpiece has explained everything!

I ADORE them! Subhanallah!

If they did it. Then, absolutely I can do it!

Go Mira Mudin! Caiyok!

So. I was in KMB Student Conference programme yesterday. 

It was a platform for the second year students (2013-2015) to share their

experience in writing the extended essay or we can called  it the " mini thesis". 

The extended essay helps KMB students a lot! 

It is all about:-

How to find the right sources while writing; 

significant of applying academic honesty; 

using the appropriate words in presenting the idea;

and most importantly exposing the students to the true university 

life which requires us to conduct our own research. 

To be always concern about the world and problem faced by the society. 

This 4000 words of essay  is  the mechanism used to discover the problem of

the world and to close the gap by providing ways or products or model. 

Fuh! All of the facts; obviously describe how the extended essay has

developed the critical thinking in each of the IB students.

Congratulations and a round applause to the senior for their triumph in 

completing the most challenging stage in IB programme.

I AM PROUD OF THEM
and

I WANT TO BE LIKE THEM!

The program starts around 9.30 am with the keynote from vice president of 

Kolej Poly- Tech Mara Dr. Wan Sabri Wan Hussin. 

The things that captured me the most is " Reading will change everything"

Seeking knowledge; strive in the battle of knowledge is more POWERFUL than

just sit and hear. 

Being students for almost 12 years ( 7- 19 years old). I realised that

I have spent my time to learn; to gain knowledge. Go to school, Hear for the

lesson given by teacher. Close the book. Doing the homework 

and Go to school back. 

Throughout these years. Actually we are gaining the knowledge from others.

It is good! But it will be more fantastic to seek the knowledge by our own.

Seeking is to search the knowledge with our interest and passion about it.

Or I can give example of me. I want to seek the knowledge that beyond my

ability just for my own needs. Then, it will be fun to learn it. In sya allah! 

I would love to learn about tafsir Alquran; azbabul nuzul ayat and many 

more about our beautiful religion. ISLAM. =)

I just wanna to stress that seeking knowledge, sincere and passion about it, 

then, what ever encounter or hold you back; it will never stop you from 

achieving your goal. In sya allah!

Back to the student conference.

The seniors is super duper cool! I attended Parallel Session 3 because I am
doing my EE in World Religion. In sya allah.

I will show you their EE research questions.

Watch and learn yo!

The fifth one is fantastic. I was stunning and speechless while listening to 

his presentation. hehehe

Here are "some" pictures in the Concorde Inn. It was fun; meaningful and unforgotten experience everh!

Thanks friend for the lovely photos and especially to the owner of my tudung! 

Thanks friend.

May our friendship is blessed by Allah swt. Amin.

Stay strong and Stay cool.

It is just a beginning and a lots more to achieve.

Remember the goal and

Strive till the end!

My first poem! " Between the time"

"Between the time"

Between  the time 

Tick Tok

Tick Tok

You are on your way

To fulfill your desire

To achieve a mission

The demanding success 

Between the time

You are just a player

The game of prejudiced

Being told what to do!

what to be! How to act!

How about your own identity

Never being developed

or actually being discovered

Between the time

You might get hurt

of your own mistake

People never ever wonder

How pathetic and miserable

is it to reach until this level

You must struggle

Just to get self satisfaction

or precisely; others perception

Between the time

You might get lost

of actually what to gain

in this  piteous world.

Is it the only path?

the only way?

Am I stuck at the end?

Or this way leads

to another way?

To other world

That never be seen?

Between the time

You might get confused!

Of who you are now

Devoting yourself

all the responsibility 

that burdens you

Causing you to forget

what is it like to be human

The mankind with feeling

Sense of empathy towards others

To help them, to guide them

Not just your beloved one

How about the "other" brothers

Between the time

You can't even differentiate

between the rocks and diamond

between reality and fantasy

and between living and dying

The world may be mean to you

Cruel enough to make you think

that nobody understands me

nobody can helps me

nobody with me!

Between the time

You might find the 

emptiness inside;

at the bottom of your soul

even now you are superb

of your own temptation

even you are surrounded by 

all the person you loves

so much until your end

It is so complex feeling

To describe how hollow;

barren; blank; and desolate

your heart is

because there is only one thing!

Between the time

The one thing 

That could change you

Becoming who you suppose to be

Eliminating and deleting

the world stereotype

The one thing that can lead to the peace

Between the time

It is not to late

Slowly; even pacing with all determination

Longing for the feeling of devoted

All you have to do is to seek

Might be the last temptation after all

__________________________________________________________

Alhamdulilllah!

When I was in secondary school, I keep on wondering about all of

the poem in the syllabus written by Shakespeare; 

"Tomorrow...tomorrow...tomorrow"

I wonder what was the exact message?

Why did he write that?

What if actually there is a hidden message?

How can he write such a great poem?

and become masterpiece of his own?

Wow!

In my point of view, the writer has express all of his feelings and thoughts

As a reader, I never understand what the message are. ( laughing )

But,

It is all ups to the reader and philosopher to interpret  the poem

Either good or bad

Either beneficial or not

Finally! I have written my first poem. Not really a poem.  But I want it to be

my poem. >.<

Genuinely from me as someone who loves to share my thought. No doubt,
I need to practice more by using precise word. 
Well, I leave it to your own interpretation 

Feeling it!

Enjoy it!

Figure it out!

There is a hidden message there.

Stay Strong!

IB Travelogue

2nd February 2015

4th week of Sem 2

indescribable how peaceful 

it is; at this moment (3 am)

Only me and Allah swt

Alhamdulillah. All praises to the ONLY Almighty Allah swt. 
He gave us soul and life to live in this wonderful world.
He knows the best. He knows each one of us.
whats in your heart, the happiness, the sorrow, 
only He understands what is happening to us.
because He is our Creator!

We are totally clueless about our future
How we might end up; either
Holding really tight on the rope 
that will save us,
riding back to the Jannah.
The Paradise that is
our main goal in this life.

OR

Get stuck in the barrier of the Dunya. 
That kills us, make us astray from
Allah's HIDAYAH
Forever! 

We are now, standing here,
looking; observing; how wonderful 
All of His Creation

Because ALLAH SWT is our Creator, because He LOVES us
Like an inventor to his masterpiece robot;
Allah swt provides us with the complete manual
TOTALLY 100% 
AL -QURAN! 
The book that every single words in it,
Every single letter. 
Shows significantly, ultimately, and wholesome
Guidance for us.

AND
The HADITH that 
explain in detail 
the message in Al- Quran
The reminder for us every single day.
about Prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him)

In Surah Al- Baqarah 2 verse 284:  

To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth.

Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will 

bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and

punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.

Allah is over all things competent! He knows what in your heart;

everything!

Never a straight line

Facebook status from Aiman Azlan, the famous vlogger:

Sunday, 4th January 2015 

Life is NOT a straight line. If we think that life should always follow that line, then we might end up disappointing ourselves.

Things don't always go as planned. More often than not, what actually happen is not the plan.

But then we realize what actually happened is better than original plan

Keep our priorities straight, do our best, keep positive and wonderful things might happen.

If one door closes, then go find another door. 

I love the line  " Life is NOT a straight line" because there will be ups and
downs in our life. There will be a moment where you get lost. Don't even 
know actually what I am doing. Why I am becoming like this? I have done 
a lot! What else I need to do? What happen to me? The feeling of depression 
and full of tears to build up the NEW you! All the people around you not even
helping you! It is all up to yourself. You are the one who NEED to change!
Change the attitude, the routine and the goal.


I love this photo so much! May be because I am going to check people's
heartbeat when I am becoming the doctor. (In sya allah)

And! Subhanallah! What else I can say! Speechless! and Amazed!
if LIFE is not a straight line. I can portray life is just like the human's heartbeat!
YEAH!

What did you see?
Okay! Well I can see. There are many peaks. After the peak, it will drop. 
And becoming straight line.

What I realised is...
We NEED to face the " down" or the failure in our life first! Then, there will be 
a HUGE success we will get! As you can see; the high peak from the heartbeat.
Then, that how the life goes! Never a straight line.
NEVER!
so!

NEVER SAY IT'S OVER! 
NEVER GIVE UP!
COME ON!!!
A MUSLIM and MATURE BELIEVER
is STRONG!!!!

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF;
your ABILITY
when facing the hard time and difficulties!
You can change it! You can do it!

the EFFORT; DOA and His MERCY 
is really important in your life!

The PAST cannot be fix anymore,
BUT!!!
We can change the FUTURE!

Allah plans the best for you!
Wallua'lam

Or maybe you can portray the human life as roller coaster. It will be fun!

Aaaaaaaaaa

7 years goal

Alhamdulillah! It is the first day of January 2015!
A new year in Masihi calendar!
Common thing to do : to set a year GOAL!
Yeah!

Perhaps because we were used to it!
Why not on the first day of 1436 Hijrah?
It is on 24th October 2014 
A couple months ago...

On that day,
1st Muharam 1436,
Reciting the Quran on Maghrib 
and get ready for the dua for end of the year;

Resuming the page I suppose to read,
I was reading this surah;
Surah Al- Ra'd
on that very calm night;
Subhanallah!

There comes verse 11 on this 13 surah!
Allahuakbar!
The sign from Allah swt!
Mashaallah!
He tells us! On the first day of 1436!

Without no doubt!

Allah swt has made that clearly!

All the changes is from your willingness 

from you!

I have heard from one of the motivational talk 

At tv Al- Hijrah which is Reflection by Imam Suhaib Webb

That 30 minutes talk  stress about 7 years of our goal.

We need to set a goal and accomplish it within 7 years.

Relevantly, we can see in Islam, why 7 years?
There are guidance for our parents to raise kids according to our age.
Source : http://www.imamreza.net/eng/imamreza.php?id=7696

Three Stages Of Life 

First stage  (1-7) Years old: The child is  a "master" to parents
The age of being a child and play. Not yet ready for education through
formal instruction.The child is influenced by the atmosphere and 
surrounding; which they learn by observations. Therefore it is important
for the parents to be a good example to  their child; the excellent behaviour
and manner.
~ Good time to teach the child to basic steps to Solat (prayer)

Second stage (8- 14) Years old: The child is a "slave" to parents
For the next seven years, Child's mind can grasp logical reasoning and
is developed for formal education. The child should be raised with proper
Islamic values and ethics. Religious education is very crucial at this stage 
of age to provide firm foundation for the kids. At these age, Parents should 
be strict in disciplining their children. 

Third stage (15- 21) Years old: The child is a "friend" to parents
As this stage of age, the child is grown up to be a responsible teenager.
Parents should guide and help their teenage child to make correct decisions
in many things. The child also has to start training for the career that he 
intends to pursue so that he can stand on his own feet and ability. At this 
time, the child is close to marriage and the parents' responsibility towards
their children comes to an end. 

Subhanallah!

How our parents has made a very good job! And fulfill their responsibility in
raising us! Syukran mama and ayah! May Allah swt bless both of you with all 
of HIS mercy! Amin!

In the nutshell, we can use that 7 years period to set an specific goal to be 
a better person, and to be a better Muslimah. In sya allah ( with Allah swt wills)

So, now my age is 19. I have another two years to accomplish my goal!
At the age of 21, I should.....
In sya allah! I hope I can do it! With new goal! Guide me Ya Allah!

You can start figure it now.. I should.......when  I turn 21. Walla...

In sya allah!
