Salam Ramadhan and Selamat Hari Raya!

Assalamualaikum everyone :)

I hope that my blogreaders are doing good.. and enjoying Ramadhan as I am.  On the first week of Puasa month I gained extra 3kgs. ahahahaa... I wonder how I did that because I don't think I have eaten that much ;) hopefully I would get my ideal weight back soon.

My favourite food for buka puasa are

1. Any icy and flavoured drink

2. Roti boom

3. Murtabak

4. Sambal-any kind of sambal would do

5. Yong tau fu or also known as 'semonyet' in my family..haha.. long story

And...

This Ramadhan actually marks another new start in my life.  My application to pursue studies in business management is accepted and insyaallah, I will attend my first class on 10 September 2012.  

Having experience the life and feeling of being a real working adult for 1 year and 1 month in two companies, I have seen many things and learnt a lot.  The saying is true, experience is the best teacher.  And of course, many things are really not as they seem.  Above that, when I entered the second company, I have actually jumped into the business world and its maze without having any knowledge of reading company's balance sheet. Running a company for me is very fun and thrilling but at the same time super challenging and mind tiring.  

Last but certainly not least, in the spirit of Ramadhan and Syawal I really would like to make a request from the bottom of my heart,

Please forgive me for all my wrongdoings or harsh words that may hurt.

And I wish all of you Selamat Hari Raya! Jom pergi raya!! :D

-final presentation-final thesis editing-

may all things run according to plan.

THANKS for sharing my happiness :)

INTERVIEWS: aren't they exciting?

salam.


Believe it or not, I've been to quite a number of interviews since I was 12. Ok, let's have a look at some :)

1. Prefect interview (SMKS 19) - i was 12
(failed because the interviewer said I don't get enough vitamins-i was very small T_T)
2. MARA (PILN) interview (UniKL) - i was 16
(receive an offer to further studies in ACCA-CAT, not TESL. I rejected the offer since I was already happy in UiTM's Asasi Tesl)
3. Pre-TESL interview (INTEC) - i was 16
(passed! hurray :D)
4. Medsi interview (INTEC) - i was 17
(i didn't know the interview result)
5. SMF interview (kenanga, UiTM) - i was 20
(passed! hurray :D)
6. YLS interview (APB, UiTM) - this month
(haven't received the result yet but the possibility of getting the offer is 0.1% T_T)
7. YTL interview (J.W. Marriot) - this month
(haven't received the result yet)

Answering interview questions are very challenging. It requires you to think fast and give smart ideas. In most interviews, what you have in the paper-the cgpa, the certificates, etc..are not going to help much. Sometimes they don't even bother to look thru them.

They are evaluating you. The way you carry yourself and your spoken English (for interview conducted in English). Believe me, Good English matters!

Although it is better to succeed rather than fail, do not look at the failures negatively. Keep improving your communication skills.

For me, each interview that I attended gave different new knowledge, exposure and experience.

Footnote: I'm going to attend another big interview this coming wednesday. I really hope that I can perform well. All the best Alia! and to readers who are going for interview, GOOD LUCK!

Footnote2: Now, I'm determined that I'm going to work after I completed this semester.

I'm a new student of UBM!

This is probably the newest uni in Malaysia. If you are interested to be enrolled in the malaysia most sempoi university, click here.

As a new student, i will proudly do some simple intro

1. I'm alia and my blog name is very long 'Colours, dark or bright, make the world beautiful'

2. I started blogging on Feb 2008

3. Many people blog to search for extra income and share interest. Actually, blog is a very powerful tool. It can be read by the whole world, and if you are someone influential like Tun Mahathir, you can just blog your opinion out. No need to call for press conference anymore. Being a simple person, I blog so that I can keep my memories somewhere and keep in touch with friends :)

4. This IPTM, Universiti Blogger Malaysia, should be a cool place for Malaysian blogger to mingle together sharing interest and opinions. And being a university, I hope I can learn something valuable from UBM.

ME AS A UiTM MELAKA STUDENT

And the flower blooms..

Crawling among the human, here I am. Trying to find my stand, here I go. Well well, it is quite hard to begin with. The Minggu Mesra Siswa, which is the first university week for all student was quite shocking for me. I never thought that university life would be this hectic. Finishing my high school was quite easy compared to this, where there are thousands of things to be done in my daily schedule. Not just assignments and tests preparations, but also the laundries and daily chores too. All had to be done by myself. Tired, tensed, all feelings are mixed together, not counting the feeling of homesick yet. I am sure that all of you had experienced the same thing as I was. Sometimes, when you feel the tiredness makes your spirit fades, all works turns to a big burden of stones which you would never be able to carry. Never been away from home.. Oh, I really feel like quitting!

“No, no, no. I am not that weak. I can do it, no matter how!” That was the chant that I always repeat again and again. If everyone else could, why couldn’t I? Praying hard to stay strong, I climb up the hill with all my might. As the wheel of time spins, Alhamdulillah, I started to enjoy my university life. The classrooms which used to have gloomy atmosphere, the library which two months ago seems boring, and the lake scenery which had given me some freak doesn’t look like they used to be. By right, they sure look inviting to me now. I love going to classes and listening interesting lectures, enjoy reading expensive and high quality library books, and also go kayaking at the lake whenever I feel like to.

The best thing of all, I really had gotten myself a new family! The close relationship among the classmates had really given me the comfort and the sense of belonging. I am now a family member of UITM Melaka! Of course, there are tonnes and tonnes of challenge that one has to face in their life. As long as a person is breathing, he or she could not get away from having problems. What makes successful people different from losers are the way they handle their problems. To be a strong student, one should have the capabilities to be self-reliant, self-motivated, and self-sufficient. Now I have realised that to adapt yourself, no matter wherever you are, all you need to do is just open your heart and broaden your minds towards new changes and possibilities. The power is actually in your hands.

…And the flower started to bloom,
Showing its proud petals,
Confident of its own strength,
It definitely will give the brightest shine..
