Tips Untuk Lulus Ujian Komputer D Manual.

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Sekian lama tak update blog, akhirnya dapat jugak masa untuk entri baru. Entri seperti yang tertulis.

Baru-baru ni, ada yang singgah kat blog, baca entri lesen kereta. Searched keywords, mostly pasal harga. So, tetiba teringat niat saya nak share pasal tips lulus Ujian Komputer. 

Before that, nak cakap sikit pasal harga lesen kereta kat Semangat Intrajaya. Ini maklumat penting ni, so sila bagi perhatian. Harga lesen kereta (D manual or D auto) berbeza-beza bagi setiap cikgu. Macam post saya Julai lalu, saya dapat harga RM 980. Bila saya sembang-sembang dengan students kat SIJ, diorang dapat harga lain. I was so confused because i thought the rate is fixed. 

Then, i found out that, that happened because of duit minyak. They charge you based on how far they need to fetch you up. So, saya sarankan anda semua yang berniat nak ambil lesen, datang sendiri ke pusat memandu, walaupun jauh. Sebab apa, boleh jadi cikgu anda tu charge RM 100. Saya sendiri kena RM 80. 

Kembali kepada tajuk asal, tips nak lulus mudah sahaja. Pertama sekali, FOKUS DALAM KELAS. Sumpah, tolong fokus dalam kelas sebab apa yang cikgu bagi tahu dalam kelas itu yang akan masuk. Percayalah. Saya sudah ambik ujian komputer dua kali (B2, D), saya baca part apa yang cikgu tekankan dalam kelas, hasilnya lulus kedua-dua ujian. So, jimat masa sebab tak perlu baca buku sampai habis. Tolong la, korang nak baca ke buku yang tebal tu  -_-

Kedua, BUAT LATIHAN. Semasa kelas, cikgu akan jual buku soalan ujian komputer. So, kalau memang tiada buku tersebut di rumah anda, mohon melabur sedikit untuk memudahkan masa depan anda. Range harga RM 2- RM 5(ikut harga semasa). Kalau tak lulus, kena ambil ujian sekali lagi, and that is where you will fork out more money. Almost hundred ringgit. 

Ketiga, SEMASA UJIAN, KAWAL PERASAAN. Nervous tu kena control and be confident. Kalau sudah bersedia, insyAllah tiada masalah. Bila nervous, kita akan jadi kurang yakin dengan jawapan kita and will lead to mistake. Saya amalkan tiga tips ni, memang menjadi untuk saya. 

Moga tips ini bermanfaat buat anda yang bakal menjalani ujian komputer. Ingat, kalau nak lulus, kena usaha lebih. Kalau usaha sikit, dapat sikit. Kalau usaha banyak, dapat banyak. 

Praise to Allah for He has heard my prayer.

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Alhamdulillah thumma alhamdulillah.

Truly, He is Razak. It was really totally unexpected. Thanks Allah!

I have received two good news in these two months. I was and still am thankful for this great things. Great things that are meant to be happened. My fiance and I had been praying and we couldn't be more startled than anyone else upon receiving the news. I couldn't be more happier.

I know that He always looks upon us. He really does hear our prayers. It is true about this famous Malay phrase, "Doa ialah senjata orang Muslim". Not that i don't believe it, it is just that i don't have the feel for it. But now, i am. You just got to keep your hopes on Allah, keep praying, do good things and be a grateful servant.

Confidence.

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

What's with confidence?

Well, basically you need to have confident in everything that you do. Even though you may not knowing the way to do thing rightfully, but it is always work out for someone who have confident. Of course the chance to succeed is after few time of trying.

What's the relation with this entry ?

Actually, the confidence in my term is related to driving a car. Last week, i drove Persona for the first time after 2 months getting a licence. I drove badly. My co-driver said that drove slightly on the left side of the road and nearly scrape a heavy machinery. Wow.

I only capable of driving for few minutes because i have a very bad eyesight during night. I couldn't see my way because there isn't a white line that separate my lane from the other lane. Plus, the road have no street lamps since it is a downtown area and we are in the middle of forest. That is just perfect! I remembered that i drove 20 km/h. HAHAHA.

I have been thinking, that i need to practice. I need a car. A small car like kancil/kelisa/viva. It suits for a beginner. I really like viva because during JPJ, i got viva. It was real smooth because it was a brand new car. The clutch, brake, fuel pedals worked really well, so did the gear box.

I need to drive it like everyday, like how i ride my motorcycle. I can ride my bike confidently after more than a year riding it in Penang. So, i'm hoping that i would get the chance during my internship. I don't want to ride motorcycle to my workplace everyday.

Internship for Bioprocess Technology Undergraduate

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Internship. The word itself excites me. I can't wait to experience the real working situation in my field of study. I have applied the listed companies (below)  and two of them rejected my application. Pheww~

Here you go. The list.

1) Melaka Biotechnology Institute
2) Lembaga Getah Malaysia (rejected)
3) Nestle
4) Jabatan Kimia Malaysia (rejected)
5) United Detergent Industries Sdn. bhd.
6) Forest Research Institute Malaysia
7) Malaysia Palm Oil Board
8) Makmal Kesihatan Awam Kebangsaan (rejected)

To apply for it, you need 3 things.
1- Resume
2- Official Letter from University
3- Reply Letter

Example of Official Letter 

And to ask the company about their internship programme, ask it in a polite, formal manner.

For example,

Greetings.

Hi! I'm Liyana, 3rd Year student of Bioprocess Technology from Universiti Sains Malaysia. I will be having my internship programme starting from Feb 2016 until June 2016 (16 weeks). I would like to apply a position in your company as an intern. Along with these email, i attached my RESUME, OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY LETTER & REPLY LETTER.

This is one of the way to apply the position if the company really takes intern students.
If you are not sure, you might want to give a call to the company. Just call and introduce yourself, where are you from and get to the main point of your call. If they do take, ask them to pass the line to the person in charge. Simple.

So far, three out of eight have rejected my application due to limited acceptance for internship and USM have no MOU with MKAK. However, i am positive that Allah has better plan for me. I am sure that there are always a place for me. Much more better place and i am more than deserved to get it. You have to believe the power of du'a. The power of du'a from a servant to Allah The Almighty.

I Love Him More Than I Love Myself. Describe.

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. 

I Love Him More Than I Love Myself. Describe.

Tajuk entry ini corny sangat-sangat for those who never even been in love with an ajnabi. 

Well, it can be said that i don't expect myself to be in a love state while studying, since i have goals that i need to accomplish and think i alone can do it. Plus, it was more surprising to me that being liked or loved by someone, actually can drive you insane. This had happened to me.

Why is it insane? Of course it is, if you are in this situation and apparently none of them are actually qualified. In this state, definitely, you can turn them down but please do it in a polite way possible. You need to appreciate them for liking you and also advice them that there are still flowers waiting to be asked. That is exactly what i did. And, two out of three of them, actually are taken right now.

BUT! I never turned down/rejected the guy that i currently in love with! 

I have my eyes set on him from the first day we met. It was on 15 Nov 2013, when he came to my Uni for a programme organized by Sekretariat Rukun Negara USM. He is an Alumni from KUIS, so everyone knows him. My eyes set on him because he is kinda have a good look and he is very very very charismatic. He has his own charm. Plus, he can make people laugh. 

He didn't realize my presence because i worked behind the face of the programme. I was in charge for Food and Beverages and normally, people don't look at the person behind a food counter. He said, he only truly saw me during our programme in an orphanage at Banting, Selangor. He decided to greet me by saying, " Yana nampak cantik malam ni." Anddd, i was taken aback because to me he was a total stranger and stranger does not "puji" people. And, my respond was AWKWARD!!! HAHAHA. Whatever.

It was actually a strange greet to begin with but it did not matter because the strange greet would invite another greet. It was actually an effort to get to know someone. So, men out there, DO NOT FEAR! Have courage because you got nothing to lose by saying a simple greet. So, we did another greet thru facebook. And it kind of excites me. Well, because of he had all the criterias of a man that i was looking for. However, it didn't overwhelm me too much since he was a friend and a senior.

Time flew and we were still in contact. I grew interest but not that much. Still not much progress because i wasn't ready for a relationship and i didn't want it to be in that way. Even tho he didn't say it but I can sense that he liked me. He maybe thought me as one of his crush and i was right. HAHA. So, before he confess, i thought that i should stop giving him hopes even tho i have already liked him. 

Here, comes my friend as go-between to drift us apart. And we succeeded. He actually really "terasa" with the way i did it to him and for that, sayang, i am truly sorry until now. I was still not mature and incapable of handling that kind of situation. The situation, whereby i need to, kind of shut someone that i liked and i didn't want to hurt him. It was totally different situation with the one i have mentioned above.  So i sorted out to that solution. He accepted it and sent whatsapp to me that he was sorry for all the troubles he'd caused. Actually, it was heart throbbing to read his words and i, unconsciously uninstalled the app. He kept silent for one whole semester, hold tight to his word that he won't budge me again.

My mother knew all of this story. I started to tell her my story ever since in USM. My mother is always fond of him even before she met him. And i actually knew the reason. It was because he is a Law degree holder. We are easily attracted to an educated person, right. When we "putus kawan", my mother asked me why i did that and i told her that i don't like him. And i really can't be honest to her for this matter. It was really an embarrassing things to say. 

After that, we were in contact again when my mother asked me to invite him to my sis's wedding. From that moment, things went back to normal and we progress a little bit because our relationship's term was not "friend" from the start. HAHA. Long story cut short, he finally confessed after touch down in Subang from Penang. He was so sure to confess even tho i can hear his shaky voice clearly. I didn't mentioned it to him because i didn't want him to be even more nervous. He gathered his courages and i respect him for doing that. Of course i accept him. I believe that loves can be learnt and obtained thru times. And until now, i love him and i will forever, InsyaAllah.

All things that had happened and will happen are to be bound by His willing.

Industrial Visit di Perniagaan Mudim Zakaria

 That are the products of Perniagaan Mudim Zakaria. Source: Google

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Yeay, i really cherished my visit this time. Years ago, i went to kilang kicap tamin, but i vaguely remembered it all. Well, it was ages ago and can say that the memory is lost. 

This industrial visit is not suka-suka because the given mark is 10%. So, we were working hard for this (except me la hahaha). 

We've done a lot of company searching thru google-of course andd taraaa!! Mudim's on the list since they have fermentors and downstream processes. First, we call them, tell them, hear the answer and set a date and time. That's all. Easy. Simple. Period.

Mudim is in Pendang, and we are in Penang. None of us own a car so we need to collect money to rent cars and pay gases. Our appointment was at 3.00 PM but we reached there at quarter to 12PM and It was way too early than i expected. You know, because my friend drove like Toretto or O'Brien. Padahal, both of them pon memandu dalam green screen je hahaha! Seriously, i felt like i was dead already by the first 15 minutes the car motioning. That is the worst experience i've ever felt sitting in a car. 

View from outside. Very spacous area, enough to park 5 to 6 cars. 

Main entrance.

 At 2.50PM, we reached Mudim's Office and into their conference room (maybe). I was really impressed. Never thought that they would have such well-design, comfortable and well-ventilated room for visitors. Their company is still enterprise yet they are developing well. The surroundings are really clean and no stinky smells at all.

Just outside of conference room. My teammates. 

We were briefed about the company by En. Hakim. He is one of the strongest person in the organisation. After the briefing, he is open to be asked questions. We kept asking questions regarding the kicap and vinegar's production method. However, the method is private and confidential. So, whenever we asked questions regarding production, most of it are the same answer. We were so upset and decided to just keep quiet and only ask once we were in the production site. Then, to our surprise, we cannot visit the site! Oh my God! How are we suppose to make a report on this? It is impossible to create your own calculation for real process!We need to have calculations in report. 

Without any doubt, our hopes to submit report as early as possible were crushed that instant. All of us 'sangat kecewa' that day. After the session ended, we took pictures with the representative and dashed out of the conference room. We were given souvenirs, which are Kicap Istimewa and Sos Cili Pedas. Both of it really have a great taste. I kinda like it. The sos cili pedas is balance, it suits my tongue because i can't withstand too much spicyness. I can get diarrhea all day already if the spicyness same as 'sambal pecal' at Desa Restu. 

I love their products and also the bag. It is thick and not easily crumpled!

Working experience at Auntie Anne's QB outlet

Bismillah.

Source: Google. 

Okay. Auntie Anne's.That was my first official work. The other two jobs before Auntie Anne's didn't need me to fill up any kind of application form because i was working with my own relative at a food stall in Muar, Johor and a clothing store at Jitra. These 3 jobs, i was working as a part time.

People said that i am unpredictable and i asked myself, why did they say that ?
To my surprise, i also found out that i cannot predict my own self.
My classmate and I were just finished our classes and we went to QB Mall since it is nearby.
Actually, i craved for stix eclairs and went there to buy, but what had happened next was totally unpredictable.

I applied for the job when i saw a vacancy ads at Auntie Anne's kiosk. I have been my utmost aim to work and i had thought it over and over for almost  two semesters. So, when this chance came, i just don't want to let it go. That day, i have given my confirmation with the manager (Kak Wahida) and she asked me to work starting tomorrow (Sunday). FYI, part-timer needs to wear black pants, black/white shirt and black/white tudung.

On the first day, i was working for 5 hours on Sunday, so you can imagine how tiring it can be but it doesn't matter, experience is what i need. The first day, it was hectic to me because i need to serve customers and also learn so many things at the same time. After few days, i was getting hang on it and working there was real fun! All the workers are easy going and friendly. They are kak Wawa (manager), kak Shu, kak Amalina, Maldal and Ram (both are Nepalese).

My job specs are serving customers, cashier, cleaner, dish washer and etc. Basically, i did everything that other workers did. However, i didn't get the chance to roll pretzel because i was newbie and my working hour didn't allowed me to learn that. During weekday, i have class and i can only work from 8pm until 10pm. For weekend, i got 6 hours shift but it was not a good day to learn to roll dough since it is sunday and mall is penangite's fav destination.

Rumors uproar that these pretzels is not halal, but guys, don't worry, I have go through all of their stocks and everything got halal label on their packages. You see, the best thing that ever happened working there is you can eat anything you want for free! I have tried a lot! That include jumbodog cheese, dogbites cheese, stix eclairs and cinnamon, pretzel caramel almond, jalapeno cheese, cheezy turkey, cinnamon, garlic, sour cream & onion, eclairs, seeweed, parmesan cheese. Phewww! That is a lot!

Source: Google. Pretty much same with QB outlet. 

I only managed to work for 12 days. This semester got no lab at all but the busyness almost similar to previous semesters. Plus, my mother worried about my studies and my motorcycle got no road tax. HAHAHA. So, i decided to resign starting 1st October and my manager was okay with it. On my last day, she said that i can come back anytime i want. Well, i will come back. The pay is good and food is free.

***Foot note***
Excuse my broken English and don't get irritated with the language, i am practicing for my IOP next week.

IOP - Individual Oral Presentation

Aku dah boleh drive lah! :D

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Bukan nak riak, tapi aku bangga dengan diri sendiri sebab dalam masa 4 jam, aku dah boleh bawak kereta manual. Alhamdulillah, selepas menjalani kelas teori & praktikal, aku dah tahu serba sedikit pasal kereta, terutamanya bahagian enjin kereta, cara-cara nak pandu kereta, termasuklah kawal clutch (baca: cekam), brek, minyak, stereng kerata etc.

Macam mana? Aha.. begini kisahnya..

Pukul 7.50 pagi, aku dah cap jari di pejabat SIJ, sebagai bukti kehadiran aku ke kelas teori yang wajib dihadiri selama 5 jam setongah. Mula-mula sekali, cikgu ajar aku dua benda pertama yang perlu diketahui sebelum ujian JPJ, iaitu Rutin Pemeriksaan Kenderaan (baca: RPK) dan Rutin Sebelum Memandu (baca: RSM). Dua perkara ini, tiada yang sulit sangat, hanya perlu hafal dan faham J

Lepas selosai bab RPK dan RSM, Cikgu bawak aku jalan-jalan dalam litar, sambil direct  teaching on how to drive a car for beginners. Maka, diarahnya aku bawak kereta pusing-pusing litar berkali-kali and then cikgu suruh cuba bawak kat selekoh S. Ahah, now comes the hard time! MasyaAllah, susah lahai. Tapi jangan risau, selepas praktis berkali-kali, kompom boleh pass punya.

Tapi aku tak pass lagi since aku praktis sekejap ja. Cikgu mula ajar aku selepas 3 jam aku duduk macam orang bodoh tengok orang lain bawak kereta. Kenapa 3 jam? Sebabnya ada student lain yang sewa kereta cikgu tu, padahal aku dah booked 5 jam setengah dengan bayaran RM250! So, nampak disitu ketidakadilan dalam pembahagian hak dan ketamakan duit. Duit aku dia dapat, duit orang sewa kereta dia dapat jugak. Mula pukul 11.00 pagi, memang matahari lagi sikit nak terpacak atas kepala lah kan. Aku tak tahan bahang matahari, sakit kepala seharian dibuatnya. Menitik peluh jantan kat dahi. Jadi, aku praktis 1 jam setengah ja. Duduk rehat kat kerusi dan tunggu sampai masa nak cap jari lagi.

The next two days, aku datang praktis lagi. Kali ni, aku cuba semua elemen dalan litar.

i)                    Selekoh S

ii)                   Selekoh Z

iii)                 Parking sisi

iv)                 Tiga penjuru

v)                  Bukit

All went well that day! Just need a little bit more practices. 8 more hours would be enough to sharpen my driving skills before taking JPJ test. I pray no more money would be spent on this. Amin!~

Institut Memandu Semangat Intrajaya

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

FYI, post ini merupakan post pertama untuk blog ni. Aku bukanlah orang yang suka menulis cuma diri ini rasa terpanggil untuk kongsikan segala pengalaman yang aku sudah lalui supaya kau orang yang baca post ini, dapat belajar dan juga ambil pengajaran.

Ok. Kembali kepada tujuan asal, aku nak ceritakan perjalanan aku semasa mendapatkan lesen P kereta manual.  Aku daftar di Institut Memandu Semangat Intrajaya. Lebih dikenali dengan nama SIJ dan terletak berdekatan dengan Taman Perindustrian Krubong, Melaka. GPS ja, Dijamin jumpa.

Aku ambil lesen kereta di SIJ sebab lagi dekat dengan rumah yang aku tinggal sekarang. Ada banyak lagi pusat memandu lain, contohnya Zapcity, Detik Erat etc. tapi jauh  daripada rumah. Rumah aku kat Bertam Setia, so drive dalam 15 minit dah boleh sampai SIJ.

Alhamdulillah, aku ditakdirkan untuk didaftarkan dibawah seorang ejen ni. Namanya Kak Linda. Macam mana aku boleh dapat contact Kak Linda? Haaaa.. aku dah went through semua blog dan facebook yang mention nama SIJ, maka aku diberi contact number daripada admin facebook rasmi SIJ.

Kak Linda ni baik. Senang berurusan dengan kakak ni. Semuanya dia tolong arrange, janji kau bayar duit la. hahaha.. Aku informed Kak Linda bulan September aku kena balik universiti, maka dia kata dia akan tolong aku dapatkan lesen P by early of September 2015 (sekarang: 30.07.2015). Part harga pula, kereta manual RM 980, kereta auto RM 1380. Lebih murah berbanding di Kedah, yang mana harga lesen kereta manual ialah RM 1000++ cekik darah semuanya.

Aku dah hadiri kursus KPP 01 dan telah lulus ujian Bahagian I. Alhamdulillah! Syukur sangat lulus ujian, tapi kalau tak lulus, melayang RM130 untuk re-test ujian komputer ni. Aku pass dengan markah 48/50. Markah lulus ujian ni 42/50. So, sabtu ini (1.8.2015) aku akan hadir untuk teori&amali selama 5 jam setengah.
