Assalamualaikum, Hello to everyone. How are you? I hope all of you, my readers, are totally in pink of health, physically, mentally and emotion.Today I am talking about my experiences  along my ‘journey’ as a 3 months-student in UNIMAS and and some exhilarating memories learning  for Basic Helping Skills.

 Three months in UNIMAS, I have learned a lot how to stabilize my daily time with lectures,  studying, doing assignment, commit with organisations and for social connection. In this timeframe, I had experience hearing to representatives from every fakulties which compete for UNIMAS Student Representative Council and allowed to vote for the best with relevant manifestoes for the first time. It was quite interesting to join in as a part of democration.

As ‘freshie’ from the ‘Semenanjung’ living in Sarawak, now I’m totally fall in love with this Borneo archipelago(islands). In this three months, I’m done hiking Mountain of Santubong, photoshoot at Pantai Damai and Sematan, taking bath at a high cristal-like Waterfalls in Kubah National Park and trekking into challenging jungle-trail in Bako Natinal Park  to Pantai Paku. Beside that, I had travel with my friend(Sarawakian)  through Kuching and the surrounding region  using Motorcycle, take ‘mee kolok’  and ‘Teh C Gula Apong’ early in the morning at Waterfront,  take a nap at 2 pm under canopy in front  of  ‘Kompleks Lama Dewan Undangan Negeri’ while waiting for the heavy rain to stop and sleep at beautiful yellow Darul Hana Mosque

 (For your Information : the function of ‘Kompleks Lama Dewan Undangan Negeri) will be change to an interbnational art centre. ‘Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak’ nowadays located at Waterfront )


Learning Basic Helping Skills is too much exiting. Exploring to this subject, I have build up lot of new softskills. I am able to write sharing my tought and emotion in blog, present in front of the class using English despite being hesitate as well as  apply what we learn into reality  in the role session. The assignment that be lined-up help me to know myself better than before so that then I can help others. Actually, Person Centered Theory is related to a piece from wide Muslim knowledge called Tasawwuf. In this branch, we learn to be emphaty towards all creatures and never being judemental to human. I think when relating a branch of knowledge with the other branches, it make me feel satisfy.

If you think this post is interesting, give me your comments.

That’s all. Thank you and Assalamualaikum,

Better Me

Hi again! I'm back in here after few weeks. How is everyone doing? I am sure we are all busy with assignments and the final exam is coming as well. I admit that I am not prepared  and haven't do any revision yet. But. I believe that with strong will we can do this!


Anyway, I want to share what had it been like for me these past few days. For your information, I have always been inferior with my appearance and personality. I have this thought about how bad I am inside out. I always put a high standard on myself and cried it all out at the end of the day. But then, when I pray at night before I go to bed, it always comes into my mind that My God loves me. Loves me more than anything in this world. So maybe I should appreciate myself a bit more?

I thank Him because He always show me His sign of love everyday. And this made me feel better and I went to bed with a more assured heart. I know I shouldn't have too much negative thoughts on myself. I wanted to be a counselor right? So how can I help others when I can't even accept myself? I want to love myself as how my God loves me. His love is greater than anything and I am proud to be  loved by Him.


With this thought, I walk out to class feeling better about myself. I promised myself to try to accept myself bit by bit everyday. Becaus I am worth it. Because I am worth of the love. Because I deserve to love myself too. I also have 2 particular songs that motivates me everyday. They are "Epiphany" and "Love Myself" by BTS. These two songs deliver the message of self love and self acceptance. I listen to these songs to somehow keep myself up. 

And my family who always showers me with love, I thank you so much. I want to be a better me so that I can make my family happy. Without my family, I don'y even know how or who I am today. Being a better means a lot because I want to be able to love myself at the end.

In "Epiphany" by BTS, there are these lyrics that touched my heart. "I'm the one I should love, in this world. Shining me". These words caught my attention. And also the lyrics in " Love Myself" that says "You've shown me I have reasons, I should love myself". You can see why these two helps me a lot in my struggles. How this group called BTS helps people all around the world through their musics and songs.

I thank my God, my family and BTS for making me see how much love we have in this world.

Thank you.

WE NEVER STOP LEARNING BY AMU YUKUNG 68469

  Hello ladies and gentleman ! My name is  Amu Yukung and you can call me Amu. I was born on 26 February 1998 in Hospital Lawas. I am pure Lunbawang. My favorite food is Nasi Ayam Penyet and my mother's cooking. I come from rural area of Sarawak called Lawas. As people know, I am spoiled and lack of confident person. I was the youngest daughter in my family. I like to watch football match because it's give me an inspiration to work harder. My favorite football player is Mesut Ozil from Germany. He was really good in football and I love a lot about him. I am studying counselling in UNIMAS and this was my  eleven weeks to be here. Well, as I know I am doing well and happy to be here even I get homesick sometimes.

  Based on my first journey as a trainee counsellor , I gain a lots of knowledge and experience especially in Basic Helping Skills that teached by Dr. Fa. Based on the group assignment that we did last week, I learn how to deal and cooperate with my group and it teaches me how important was teamwork for us. Besides, I manage little bit to edit videos and react to be an helpee. I did my presentation even I was really nervous to talk in front on my course mates. It was my first time to present in English. I am happy because Dr.Fa trying to understand us by advised and support us. She also did ask me about my race and thought that I was mix Philippine.🤣 I smiled and telling her that I am original Sarawakian and pure Lunbawang.Through this group assignment also, I learn how to fix and deal with my friends or other people though their tough time. I trying to use the theory and therapy that we have learn in the helping live session last time. From that, I understand more about other people feeling. The main element in Peson-Centred Theraphy by Carl Rogers that I really love is Empathy. Empathy is where I trying to put my situation in other situation and able to understand their feeling. My group member enjoy doing the assignment without any problem and misunderstanding until it done on the time. 

  In the end, Dr.Fa has sharing about her child excellent  achievement in UPSR. She did advice us that nothing is impossible if we try harder. She also told us that, parents should not expect too much based on academic achievement. This is because that can cause their child getting stress. I can see that she is a good mother and good role model to others. I remember her last words that telling us, don't make our life getting hard or stress just because of  others perspective. Life must enjoy and follow the flow. I really enjoy her class and now I will focus on live session and final exam. I learn a lot and I will keep learning again. That's all from me as a trainee counselor. Thank you so much for lend me your time to read my blog. Have a nice day ! Bye

Mistake Does Not Mean Defeat

   Assalammualaikum and good evening to all readers. I'm Nur Syahira Yakub (68407). Today I learned a lot about every mistake is not a failure and also my group members and I made a presentation on the assignment we have made. I have feel nervous to start the presentation, while presentation was advised by Dr. Fa not to read the script but the issue an opinion during the assignment. From that, that I have learn failure is an opportunity to learn. I also had see the others groups doing the presentation. One of the group make me felt amazed because of their spontaneous and confident attitude. From the way make a presentation I can learn that we should have confidence to speak in front audience to make them focus on us. 

    Before Dr. Fa finished his lecture she had share a little bit experience and information how we study smart not study hard. A smart student arranging a strategy for learning does not require tuition. Intelligent student set a systematic and disciplined time in very session. Students who study hard do not necessarily be brilliant but the way learn hard will affect their emotions, feelings and surroundings. They will soon give up because what they want is not achieved. From that many differences are derived from study smart between study hard.

     In conclusion, in whatever we do we should not be afraid to fail. From the failure we get the success that we hope for if we never give up. But whatever the way us to pursue knowledge is by learning smart not learning hard. Thank you for giving your time to read a little share of me.

    

Something Wonderful Is Going To Happen

CASSEY (68366)

Hello everyone! My name is Cassey Lapu Jettle. I’m from Limbang Sarawak. I was born on the 10^th of April in 1998, which means I am 20 years old now. My race is Lunbawang and I’m a Christian. I would like to share my education background and how I can come to UNIMAS too. I have been studying in Limbang Sarawak until I was in form 6. When I was in primary school I studies in SK BANDAR LIMBANG. Then when I was in high school I studies in SMK LIMBANG and continue my studies in form 6 in SMK KUBONG. After I finished my studies in form 6.  After how many months my result came out and thank God that I pass my all subject. Then my sister helped me to apply the UPU online because at that time I really don’t know what courses would I apply. She also helped me to apply the SPA. It not that I can’t do by myself, it just because I still don’t know what should I apply for it. Then, while waiting for the result UPU I work at one shop for how many months only till the result UPU came out. Then when my result UPU came out I did not get any offers from other University. It’s really make me feel sad especially my parents, when they know I did not get any offer from the other university. At that time I tried to apply the UPU again for the second time and I still continue with my job while waiting for the result. Besides that, I was thinking that if I did not get any offer from the other public University I would make my own decision go to private university. At that time was so frustrated and very sad. I cried every night, I could not sleep very well and sometimes I don’t want to eat. My parents also really worried about me that time. After how months I receive an email from UNIMAS, that email said that I was approve to study in UNIMAS. I was shocked that time and I just can’t believe it that I get the offer. I cried very hard and I told to my parents. They very happy to know that. That how I can entered to UNIMAS. I really grateful and I know that God would not let me walk by myself. God also know the best for me and I believe that.

Thank you guys for lending me your attention. Bye! and God Bless You. Have a nice day guys.

My Learning Experiences

Suraida Binti Nasir (67839) - My Learning Experiences

Assalamualaikum and hi, I’m Suraida. I’m come back to tell you of my learning experiences. At this time I learn many things as a life of student university at UNIMAS. Now, I feel like more comfortable with my environment. I would feel more acceptable on what I have beginning. Before this, I would not want to stay at Sarawak and study in UNIMAS. But now I think I’m in love the way of Sarawakian culture. Its nice to have a new environment at this place. I also have new experience in my life.

 In this subject of basic helping skills, we are train to do an assignment as a teamwork with my friends. In this session, I learn on how we must to have a responsibility and must give a lot of commitment with each other to finish our assessment. As a teamwork will be success if all the members are giving their effort to help each other and not being selfish. I would thanks to Syahira and Fathiah because they were giving a lot of effort to doing our assessment together. It was a best of moment when we are trying hard to do some acting to make the video more interesting. We also gain more knowledge about making a video and sharing our knowledge or information with each other.

I would thanks to Dr. Fa because she also teach many things to us during the class. Besides sharing the knowledge of the helping skill, she also train my self to being more confident to talk in front of my friend. For doing presentation at the class was give me feel a bit of nervous. But, it was a platform for us on how we are learning from that time to improve our skill on how to do a presentation next time.

That's all from me “Surek” . Thank you. 

My First Place In Unimas 

Hello everyone. My name is Phyladelphia Papino Anak Entinggi with matric number 68417. First of all, I would like to thanks those who have read my first journal.  Today, I will share my first place that I've reached in Unimas.  

The first place that I’ve reached is Kolej Bunga Raya (BRC). On 3.9.2018 was the first time I came to Unimas. On that day was the day of entry into Unimas for the 2018/2019 session.  I am very excited to see the situation in Unimas. The first place I stopped at Unimas was the Bunga Raya College. I am very amazed at the college because of its clean environment, tall buildings, green roofs and so on. Do you think why I mention green roofs right? HAHA because I like green. After arriving, I met a very kind senior. She welcomed us in full courtesy and she has escorted us to college. After I got the room key, the first thing I did after knowing where my room was I was breathing deeply. Oh my god! I got a room on the top floor ie on the third floor. Fuh! I thought I was going to lose weight. But unfortunately, it's been almost 3 months at Unimas but my weight is still the same hmmm just kidding. After arriving in the room, I was very grateful for getting a nice room. Wahh the electric appliances are operating well, soft mattresses and a clean closet. I got a tripple room. Which is more fun, I have got a roommate of two people, my close friends. The three of us applied for the same room. Our three petitioners have also been approved by the college. Waaa I am very excited! I feel very happy that I've got a good college, roommate is my own friend and the facilities at college are all complete.

That's my first story to the Bunga Raya College which is my first place that I’ve reached at Unimas.  Thank you and have a nice day, Friend!
