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!

"LIFE IS A CHOICE" BY AMU YUKUNG 68469

       

     Hi everyone ! My name is Amu Yukung. You can call me Amu. I am 20 years old. I was born on 26 February 1998 in Lawas's Hospital. I am pure Lunbawang. My hobbies are reading, gardening and watching football match. I come from small town, Lawas Sarawak. My favorite colour is pink. As I know, I am sensitive and spoiled person. Sometimes, when I got nervous I cry easily. I can't be able to speak in front lots of people. My friends always told that I am attractive girl because  of my 

personality, but I never thought about it. I really inspired by motivation talks and hard working people. I likes to hear about culturing and positive vibes. My father is my role modal that can't be replaced by other people. He told that "Life is a choice, we choose everything either good or bad". My beloved dad never showing me that he got problem and stress, I guess that he really choose to live happily and enjoy. He also never force and disagree with my siblings goals. He believe that our choice was the best for ourselves.

      Now, I am studying counselling in University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). I never I expect that I got this course and this university too. Last two years, I really want to be a teacher in primary school. Unfortunately, I don't have my luck to enter IPG which make me feel so disappoint and sad for the rest of my life I guess, I still remember that I cry so hard and frust. I been interview twice for it and I was failed. I did not apply UNIMAS and this course in UPU Online, but my teacher did it for me for the second intake because he told me there is no more chance and choice. But I still force myself to adapt with all situation. So, I been here for ten weeks and I am really doing well because I choose to be happy and go on with my journey. I was really inspired through Basic Helping Skills which teached by Dr.Fa because for my first class she motivated and advised us of how to survive in counselling. She told us that nothing is easy if we not struggle.

         Based on my experiences in UNIMAS, I still believe that everything we did is our 
own choices. I got a lots of assignments and activities that must be done in a short time. At the same time, I have to deal with  difference kind people. I learn that Counselling is not easy as I think before. Besides, some assignments really tough and difficult for me. I am lacked of rest sometimes, I got tired and I miss my family. I really tired walking from college to my class everyday.  But, at the same times I manage to handle everything just because of mind set and the words " Life is a Choice". I able to submit my assignment on time because I choose to finished it no matter what. I choose to be friendly because I want to improved my communication skills. I try to be a flexible with a lots of people so I can handle my stress and nervous. I choose to walking for exercise and lastly I choose to be positive in order to avoid stress. So now, if people ask me how I am doing here my answer is simple "I am doing well because I choose well". Believe that everything is a choice, if you choose it in positive way so everything will be alright. Even if someday I failed again, that maybe because of my choice for not doing well or struggle for it.

      My main reason of choosing this course is I want to be a counsellor teacher in my hometown in future. I would like to help people through the therapy and theory that I have learn in Basic Helping Skills. I learn a lot how to help and deal with people in their hard time through Basic Helping Skills. I wish I can score A- for this BHS even I know my mid term exam was not too excellent.

JUST FINE

Hi everyone! Its me again Nuraini Hafizah Binti Wedhuru@Mohd Zahir with matric number 67260. It almost 3 months that I had been in UNIMAS and I already created so many memories. So now, I want to share to you guys some memory that makes me felt happy. 

Actually, I do not really like my course which is counselling at first and I felt like want to change to another courses. The feeling to change my course become more deeply when I had given the philosophy's assignment to approach 65 peoples that we do not know outside UNIMAS. It is because I am a passive person and do not like to talk strangers or people that I do not know. So, I felt that the assignment really burden to me and I always thinks that I can not do it. I realized that the words "Tak kenal maka tak cinta"  is so true. At first, it really hard for me to approach people and I am very shy but then, I started to enjoy it. I love to heard about people concern and I also learnt that every people are so unique from their behaviors, attitudes and everything. From that assignment, I also felt happy because I get to know some of my classmates more better when we went to find the 65 respondents together.  Before this, I only know and close to Novenna Amanda because we are classmate since KML. 

Now, I never thinks to change my course again because I already like it. I just need to learnt more about this course and gain more confident to speak in front of other people. This is why I said that the words "Tak kenal maka tak cinta"  is true based on my experience. I realized that I should not decided somethings without know its advantage and disadvantages. Also, I learnt that everything that happen must have its reasons that maybe we do not know. That all from me, thank you💗.

APPRECIATING

Hello again readers! I, Novenna Amanda Binti Lorensius Amabajo with matric number 67044 was back again! Literally, I have been here, in UNIMAS for almost 3 months and obviously I have created a lot of memory here. So, I wanted to tell that I felt very happy and grateful to be here. I met people that are very kind and appreciate each other. It was around two weeks ago, during mid-term holiday that my friends that I just met in UNIMAS made a birthday surprise for me in front of my house. We went for an outing for the whole day and I did not expect for them to do any surprises as we were all tired from swimming and eating. After they sent me home that night, they called me to go out as they told that I forgot my stuff in the van. And I was very surprised as they brought cakes and sang a birthday song for me.

I often think that no one really remember about myself as I like to make myself invisible to everyone. However, this event that happened to me, made me feel appreciated and by just remembering this, it was able to make me shed my tears. Then, I realize that I should also appreciate other people just like the way my friends appreciated me. I am a human that gets angry and annoyed by people as well. However, some of them thought me to become more patient and be more understanding. From them, I learnt to love people around me and made me realize that even some of my simple action can actually brings happiness to them.  

          I realize that I am gaining more new friends since I get to know them as they introduce me to their friends as well. Besides, I became more confident in myself. They always convince me that I am capable of doing something new. For example, singing in choir. And yes, I was able to do it! Last but not least, they are very supportive and by having this positive vibe, I can look things in a better way. Right now, I am able to think of the pros and cons before coming up with a decision. That's all from me. THANK YOU!

Now im more confident

 After finishing my role play assignment, I have learned more about how to help people. During the role play, I can learn that how the helper help the helpee to solve his problems and with the right guidance, we can solve many problems that faced by people around us properly. Furthermore, the role play help me to be more confident to help people without judging their background (unconditional positive regards) and accept them as a helpee. Moreover, as a Counseling student, I should put my effort to learn all the helping skills so I can help other with the right guidance and helping techniques that should have to become an effective Counselor. As for this group assignment, I have learnt about teamwork and I am happy to have my friends from different races and religions. Even we are from different background, It will never to stop us to interact with each other and becoming friends. Now, I can know them very well as this assignment has enhanced our relationship. Last but not least, I hope I can apply all the helping skills that I learn from this role play so I can become an effective helper/ Counselor in future. I know I can do it and now I started to love this programme even I have no confident at first. But, after conducted individual and group assignment, it has change my perception about this programme as I am very grateful in this course. I hope I can be a successful Counselor in  future. That’s all from me and thank you for spending your time reading my post.

YOU CAN’T STOP ME LOVING MYSELF

   Hi everyone ! I’m Nurul Izzah Farhanah Binti Muhammad and my matric number is 6805. Here, I want to share about my inspiration to be someone that I really love to be. My inspiration comes from my cousin who is also studying at Unimas before. He take the Economy Business courses at Faculty of Economic and Business in Unimas. He managed to do well in sport and academic study. Before my family moved to Kuching, we rarely keep in touch with each other due to distance factor. But now, I’m already in Sarawak and we both managed to get closer to each other.

Me and My Cousin

   First of all, I would like to thanks to him because he always told me that studying in course that we really love is the best thing. I take that advice and now I’m feeling like I’m already accept that course was my passion. I proceed with Counselling Course until now. Alhamdulillah, I managed doing well until now. I just remind the words from my lecturer that was said “The more you go with the flow of life and surrender the outcome to God, and the less you seek constant clarity, the more you will find that fabulous things start to show up in your life”. Yes, indeed that fabulous things start showing one by one in my life. For instance, I was not be able to talk in front of people before, especially in front of people that we don’t really know. I would be like blushing and my tune voice will be really slow when talking with other people. But, now I’m really find myself confident to talk with someone else because of the Assignment Bapak. This assignment really helps me a lot to talk with someone else that we really don’t know and never be talked before. For me, they are strangers. It is my amazing achievements because I’m already believe and love myself. Since I’m hearing a song that helps me to love myself, I become even more love myself. This is how I’m showing myself better than others because human is unique.

   Next, after I attend the graduation day of my cousin at De’Tar Putra, I’m feeling like I want to be like him and even more. This make me realised that I’m capable if I want to do something in my life. It might be simple, but it will impact me on how I want to be in the future. The aura/feeling that I get when attending that graduation day is amazing. I want to be like them also, makes me feel proud of myself and mostly to my parents. I keep trying and trying to remind myself what I really want to do and want to be when I’ve been getting in Unimas. Of course, the main thing I want is graduate on time. This is the basic thing that all the student want.

At De'Tar Putra

   Other than that, my cousin assist me that in Unimas is the best platform to find ourselves passion and talent. I keep exploring what is my passion and my talent in Unimas through joining the club that already have under Unimas, Faculty, College and another club outside the Unimas. The best thing is, I can adapt myself in that surrounding and makes new friends. The greatest thing is I’m having more new friends day by day in Unimas. The number of friends always increasing and I think I have what it takes to do in choosing the good friends.

Candid Part

   In the end, we just need to propel ourselves harder to survive in our life. Life is short. Break the rules and forgive quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile. Thank you for your part in my journey. 

A simple CHANGE can produce a huge TRANSFORMATION. by Muhammad Azfar (66796)

  

One of my best experience.

Assalamualaikum and hi to all who read my writing today. First of all, I would like to congratulate each of us for having overcome many challenges and twists and turns throughout our nearly a semester

I know some of us who feel that the course is still inadequate or thinking of changing the course in the next semester. I understand and respect all the decisions they make because it is their life and they have the right to determine what is best for themselves.

Today, I feel called to share my life experience even though I know many more people out there who have a greater experience and inspiration. At the age of 15, I was given the option of moving to another school that I did not know how it was and how it was in the environment or stayed in the school I had lived in and was part of my life.

Due to the "peer" factor, I decided to move from village to urban school, from regular schools to technical schools. I admit that I was happy at first because I could be with my close friends, but after a few weeks I noticed that I was not interested in this technical course. This is my friend's course, not my course.

Because of the costs I paid, I went on a journey and tried to attract this course because I would not do something that I did not like. I also did not receive any instructions without thinking about it first. Who would have thought, God's plan was better, I was able to adapt two months after I enrolled in the school.

After that, I managed to be one of those who came out of the school with a SPM certificate. What I want to emphasize here is, we as humans, have many opportunities, advantages and abilities. When there is a barrier ahead of us, we actually have a thousand solutions to a problem. What makes the obstacle unobtainable is the way we see it.

 In conclusion, if we see something as a problem, it will be a problem, but if we look at it as an opportunity or learning process, then we will find that our lives are getting better over time.

Thank you for the time you read my doodle today.

Rollercoaster (stressful but joyful)

Each day holds the possibilities for great discoveries and hidden joy. the feeling i felt along this journey. i got two(2) assignments that should be done, which can be classes into two, the individual assignment and the group assignment.

for the individual assignment, to be honest, it was very tough yet something joyful to do! this task helps me to get to know myself even deeper and better because the task requires me to jot down at least three(3) good things about what did i do in the whole day, i got to write about myself, my family and about what i love which i choose favorite a song also with the celebrity i admire. it was fun to write all those things. all these tasks thought me one thing. we have to appreciate for anything we do and love each other.

while for the group assignment, we have been given a quite difficult task in which we have to make a video about helping session. me and my friends had never done this before but thankfully we managed to finished the record for about 12 minutes. this task was very challenging at the beginning but at the end of the day, we will able to cope our problems such as the feeling of shy and scared on how to tell your issues and how to be brave by accepting the challenge to help others who need some hands.

i have been exposed on how to overcome the problem professionally through some counseling sessions, with all the techniques so that i can be more independent and matured enough to dealing the world!

appreciation is a wonderful thing : it make what is excellent in other belong to us as well❤️

Bully

Assalamualaikum and hai! so for this entry I would like to share about my life experience when I was in secondary school. but before that, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mohamad Zaireen Eizhan bin Mohamad Ali, I'm 20 years old and I live at Kampung Beladin, Pusa, Sarawak. Currently, I am pursuing my study at the UNIMAS, taking a Counseling course which will take 4 years to be completed. Okay, now back to the story that I would like to share. In 2011, I got an offer to study at new school. obviously that everyone would be happy yet so sad because you have to forced yourself to away from your love ones, which is your family! I met a lot of new people from different palces.

I took silat as my sort of 'Persatuan', me and my friends decided to choose this because we love to try something new, which I have never experienced it before. As the time flies, I always attend the meetings and practiced everyday in the afternoon. But, at one time, my seniors started to bully just on me, making laugh of me in front of their friends, scoffed me everyday which I don't know why they did that towards me. They also told me to iron their clothes for almost every day. I got a friend which the same age as them. He always cover me for not doing that kind of bad behavior towards me but they won't listen to him. There was some point, I got cried a lot at some quite places with him. I don't have  any idea about what to do and who to tell this situation. they warned me to not to tell to the warden. I was thinking that I was very skinny and so small during that time and that's why they took me their sort of 'victim'. Everyday after school, they willing to deliberately waiting for me just to see and mocking me along the way to the dormitory. They talking negatively about me when I was walking in front of them. But everytime they do that. I will force myself to walk faster and sometimes I ran straight away to my room. They laugh at me when i did that. I was very stressful and suffered for 2 years.

in 2013, i got my PMR result and i didn't get a chance to pursue my study at that school. and i was got back to my old school which near to my hometown and i was very happy to see all of my close friends back. that's all from me and thank you so much for the time you gave to read my story. Bye!

MY JOURNEY BEGIN (SALWA SHAHMINAN)

Hello everyone, It's me again, Salwa. I assumed that you guys had read my earlier post right? Thank you for all warm wishes and supporting words for me. It do makes me happy and I love it so much! Actually, I don't have any idea to write about for this second post because  I feel tired for past 3 days and I feel exhausted and fatigue but no worries, I'll be sharing my experience in UNIMAS. So, hoepfully you guys will love it and please keep on reading.

My father and I on the registration day. (I MISS HIM)

I want to pursue my studies in Sarawak only because my father won't allowed me to get into any other universities except UNIMAS. So I just follow what he want and most of my choice in UPU, I just put the UNIMAS programme. At first, I quite sad because I really want to study in Universiti Malaysia Sabah because I really love Sabah so much. But, when I think about it again it is such a grateful thing to me because I get a chance to study in my own state and I will not feel the homesick-thingy but surely I miss home too (longing for homecooking and my fluffy cats). I get really excited when I know I got my UPU result which is my first choice. My first choice is the Counselling programme, the second was Psychology and the third one is Linguistic. This is my top of the list that I wished I can get one of it so now I really got the first choice! Can you guys feel me? 

This picture was taken before the Majlis Ikrar Pelajar

After the student's vow event, I'm now officially one of the UNIMAS student and I'm really proud of it. I can belive that I managed to be in here and it's like a dream come true. My journey had just begun and I don't know if I'm able to suvive for this semester and the upcoming 4 years also. It's quite tough for me at first especially when it comes to find our class on the first day.It was an interesting stuff to do because apart from the mission to find the class, I also get the chance to sight-seeing around UNIMAS. I like to see the buildings in here because it is unique and the design also fantastic! The times flies so fast and I can't believed that I've almost 3 months staying here and still counting for the best days to come. Pray for me that I will stay strong and keep myself motivated guys! And I pray for you guys too don't worry.

Having this matric card is like an honour for me

I am forever grateful to be here, to be a part of UNIMAS and still looking forward for my own knowledge and experience. I think the most challenging part in UNIMAS is making new friends because I'm an introvert and tends to get anxious to greet with people especially in a new environment. After this 3 months, I only have few friends because I'm not a person who will be the first one to talk with someone that I just met. So if you guys want to be friend with me, I would love to accept you as my friends. Pardon my face if it's look like I'm a cold-hearted person but trust me it just my normal face reaction only. You can say hello if you see me somewhere and don't be shy. 

My first picture at Jambatan Cinta UNIMAS

Last but not least,what I learnt from Basic Helping Skills is I learn how to accept other people as a unique human being. Besides that, I also learn some skills and techniques to become a professional helper which is known as a counsellor. I want to be a better person at first by helping myself but at the same time having the courage to help others. I want to help people to gain more motivation and helps them finding way back to solve their problems. It might be hard for this firts year but surely I can be the best among the best people if I have the urge to keep on doing the thing that I love. I think that's all for now and I hope this post wouldn't make you guys to feel bored and I pray that you guys will always be happy in no matter what situation you're in. We are in this journey together, let's walk together and keep moving forward. Stay positive!

With love, 

Salwa Shahminan

MY NEXT STEP

NUR ASYIQIN BINTI HUSLI(68404)

Assalamualaikum and hello guys!😉 First of all, I am Nur Asyiqin Binti Husli and you all can just call me Syiqin. I was born on 15th April 1998 and I am 20 years old even my height was not determined with it. I came from Limbang Sarawak which is between Brunei Darussalam and Temburong. Actually I have a great fears of cats and it is called as ailurophobia since I was a child. Okay now I would like to share about my experience before entering this Unimas. After the STPM , my friend and I were decided to find a part-time job as both of us want to work and have our own money. Alhamdulillah we manage to get jobs as the sales assistant at "The Place Departmental Store" in Limbang. After a few months, the STPM's result has been announced and all of us were asked to fill the UPU to be qualified to enter any university. Then the UPU results being announced but my 3 friends and I were not qualified to enter the university. Hu hu hu so sad😢 But we still think positively that maybe our name were in b40 under Unimas which is held on the last April at my old school named as SMK Kubong Limbang. Suddenly I got an email from Mr Ali which is listed the name that being under b40 in Unimas. Alhamdulillah my name is listed!😍I am so grateful that I have a chance to further my studies of degree in Unimas at Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. On 4th September of this year is the first day I enter this Unimas. As we can see that Unimas is one of the best university in Malaysia and it makes me feel more excited to explore more about this university. For the whole week I keep on crying because of missing my home especially to my mom and dad. But then after 3 weeks, I felt more comfortable with this surroundings of university. I have learned a lot of things since the first day I enter this university. Besides that, I also met new people in this new places which is in the same course of mine. Then I also learned how to build a trust on someone based on BHS under Dr Fa the cute one!😘 I feel so sleepy right now, so enjoy your day without stress💕 Thank you for lending me your attention guys💖

EXCITING NEW EXPERIENCE

NUR ASYIQIN BINTI HUSLI (68404)

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone! First of all, I would like to introduce myself as a young, dumb and broke girl named as Nur Asyiqin Binti Husli or you guys can also call me as Syiqin. I was born on 15 April 1998 3.48 a.m and I am 20 years old. Okay now I would like to start my story on my exciting new experience guys ha ha ha!😂Actually on the first day Dr Fa gives us the individual assignment, I thought that this kind of assignment is kind a bored and stressful. But I was totally wrong when I start to do this task. I can feel the interesting on doing this assignment and it besomes more fun when it comes to the task that ask us to list the 3 good things within the 7 days. For almost 6 weeks doing the task, I have learned a lot of things that I do not even mind before. I start to know more about myself than before. Besides that, I also met new people at the new places which is so different with my ex-school where I attend for STPM. I was struggling to adapt with the situations in this university because I did not familiar with it. Teachers at my old school is so different with my new lecturers in this Unimas. This is because most of the lecturers are prefer to give those assignments without any full of guidance so that students will be more independent and will be appreciated more for our efforts on those works. Then I would like to share my experience on how I done my group assignment with my team member namely as Cassey and Amu. We had so much fun on doing the assignments that have to be done with a video too. We were struggling to finish it by the end of the mid-semester but then we realize that our video has a lot of deficiencies and needs to be fixed somewhat. So we agreed to record a new video and ultimately we have successfully produced a video that accurate with the questions that have been given by Dr Fa. Alhamdulillah!💕 And through this group assignments, I saw that my team members are quite fun and good as well. They are some of the best team members I ever had as they cooperate with me as a family members even we are not in the same religion. I am very thankful for the friendship that we build in this Unimas. Thats all from me. Have a nice day everyone!🙋

Focus Gais!

Assalamualaikum and hi there!

So, let us be more matured in this entry kay. I've been in UNIMAS since 2 September 2018 which is two months already passed. I became more clearer with my purpose of entering UNIMAS everyday. Each time I'm working with my assignment and studies, I learned new experiences. I notice that I become more independent and matured as I'm now in university level. However, I do face difficulty when dealing with group or even individual assignment. I tend to be so lazy to do the assignment but I still feel grateful since I'm able to control this attitude. I hope you guys can pray for me that I would overcome this bad attitude. I senses that I become more cool and brave for each presentation. I learned lots of thing while conducting the latest live helping session assignment where I find that I am good while acting conducting a counselling session as a trainee counselor. I thought I would be so bad at it. I find that all I need is courage. I learned that when one gain their courage, everything would be so smooth. I also learned that to be a courage person, ones need practice and high determination.

Regarding subject KMC1083 Basic Helping Skills, I learned to be a good counsellor, trainee counsellor need to have skills in conducting a counselling session. It might not be as easy as we thought but it never been hard once we understand how to apply it. I have a tip on conducting a good counselling session. I think I suit best with this tip. Everyone feel nervous for the first time right, so just start practicing without concerning whether we are good or not. We can always refer to our lectures or coursemates.  I learned that one can start practicing with Person Centered Therapy theory (PCT) since it is the simplest theory to understand and to conduct. A counsellor need to be congruent, empathy and respect to the client. However, if we conduct a counselling session without proper skills, we should not even called ourselves a trainee counsellor. So, never feel stupid when you have to learn basic skills from the beginning again just because you did not remember because a learner always study to become an expert.

So, my wish for my coursemates is I hope everyone can study to the earnest of their heart.

I MADE IT.....?!

         

Almost coming to the end of semester 1 in UNIMAS, I felt like it was an intense short life changing experience for me. With all the assignments due dates, the lectures, the activities and programmes, the conflicts, problems and emotional breakdown in between, I think i have became a stronger person now compared to before.

          Overall, the life here in UNIMAS for the first semester is very good so far, I get to learn a lot of things and deal with different type of individual. I met some good people and some that I would prefer to call them the one that gave me a lesson in life. Whether it is a good or bad experience, i would like to keep it as memory that I would treasure forever.

          During the long period of hecticness, I get to learn new things and experience especially when doing the assignments. I learnt that our ways of working is not always the same therefore commitment and cooperation is very important. Besides that, I also get to identify the few that might not be a quite functional or contributing when it comes to doing group assignments. However, its all about the outcomes, in my opinion, at least.

          Some of the assignment that were given was really challenging to the point that I started to doubt my ability to achieve it and continue my studies in this programme. Thankfully, the people around me helped me a lot through the process until i am able to finish the assignment. Therefore, if there is anything that I have regretted about is that I ever doubted myself in being able to get through the hardships while being here.   

          In conclusion, the whole first semester was such a memorable experience for me. No matter how good or bad the situation is, I am thankful for the precious people that stayed by my side till the end. Doing the assignments was such an enjoyable and fruitful thing for me, eventhough there are stress, pressure and tension, the feeling of getting it done is probably the most joyful feeling ever. Now, we only have to focus for the final exams, therefore, all the best everyone ! 

Shhh.. A Love Story?

Assalamualaikum and good evening. I’m Fathiah. Today, I would love to write a love story of me. Yeah guys! I’m going to share with you my love story. Do leave comment for my post ya, guys. Ok, my love story began when I wait for the letter that day. I’m anxiously wait for it. I’m so excited and yet scared too. I believe it would be a memorable day because I wait for quiet so long. It is the day when I received a letter from UNIMAS. Yeah, I trick you guys. My love become so much clear when I reach Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2. It is always been my dream to enter university. I still remember where I arrive at UNIMAS with my mom, dad, younger sister and both of my grandparents along with my uncle. I act very tough that day. I try to hide my excitement and love for UNIMAS. I really looking forward to be a part of UNIMAS but I don’t expect to be here and fall in love with counselling programme. My second choice in UPU system is Psychology at UNIMAS. At first, I do get sad because I really want to pursue in Psychology. However, I told myself that it is okay. As long as I get into UNIMAS, I wouldn’t mind. I already study and do some research about UNIMAS before I get the love letter. Part of UNIMAS that get my attention most is the swimming pool. I really love swimming and you know what, until now I didn’t get the chance to swim in the pool because I get so busy with my beloved counselling programme and of course I'm very active with clubs. I love UNIMAS because I can do almost everything I want and all I have is time.It is my responsibility to divide my time fairly for both academic and non-academic activities. I really enjoy my self being in UNIMAS for four years, In Shaa Allah. I want to challenge myself throughout these four years of studies. No matter how hard it is to be a trainee counsellor, I would express myself freely here. At first, I might walk too slow but please never underestimated me because I know I can become the best of FATHIAH in the meantime. I fall in love with counselling when I see lots of similarity between me and counselling every day. I might lack of confident now and I might be a little bit lazy student yesterday. But you know what, I never been so happy for tomorrow especially when I’m in UNIMAS. Okay, now you guys know my secret. So, let it just be our secret okay? Shhhhhhh… My love for counselling and UNIMAS grows everyday guys. So, hwaiting! Let’s be the best of us throughout these four year!

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

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. I would like to share my experience when I do my individual and group assignment and after I completing both of my assignment. To be honestly I feel very tired and stress. This is because there is a lot assignment that I have to do also. I can’t even have enough rest few weeks ago and I sometimes I crying at night because I think that I can’t do the assignment and also for the other assignment. What makes me can through all of this because of my parents and also my friends. They are my supporter. They keep on saying that I can through all of this. Thank God that I can finish all my assignment for individual and group assignment. 

 I still remember my parents said that where ever I go, I will learn so many experience in my life no matter good or bad experience. Yes! Absolutely yes. Of course I’ve had bad experience in my life, it’s not that I’m okay and happy but I tried to help myself to think positive that any problems that hit my life it will have a way and everything will. Therefore since I’m in here I have meet many friends since I like to communicate with other people and get to know them and also get to know new interesting individuals. When I meet new people in my life and they happy to meet me, I will feel comfortable with them. I believe that friendship is one of the most important values in human life. I believe that. The bad experience that happen in my life made me the way I am now. I feel grateful, full of love, I feel blessed.

Thank you for reading my simple story. God Blessed you.

INTO THE NEW WOLRD

My name is Merrylynn Sulaiman, but I prefer people calling me Merr. I was born on 22nd of September 1998 in Sabah. I grew up surrounded by music and books which explains my great interest in vintage and old music. I am also into BTS, Harry Potter, Narnia, Westlife, Celine Dion and Michael Learns to Rock. Cecilia Ahern and J.K Rowling are my two favourite authors. Well, that's a few basic things about me.

 First of all, I would like to share on how I felt about taking the course o Counselling here in UNIMAS.When I first received my offer letter,I was quite surprised that I was offered this course. Since I was involved in lots of counselling-related club , it makes me feel like I'm taking a new step into what I've grown fond of.  Being a UNIMAS student has been such a spin off for me. I got here and managed to settle in well during orientation week.I may not seem like seem like it, but I really miss my hometown and family. I also got to learn what is is like to be a trainee counsellors.

 I kept thinking about how can I help the society with the knowledges that I will acquire in my four-year study.I learned so many new things through this course. I learned how counsellors use the helping skills to help others. What kind of theories that are related to each issue. I saw how every little things cousellors say or do can become a huge favour for somebody else. I also wanted to take this course because I want to reach out to other people just now. Inspired by the insecurities of my appearance,  I want to stop pushing myself too hard and started to help others. Be it the same problems with me or not. I was also inspired by the generosity a boy band shown to me. They became a symbol of self-acceptence because of their music and lyrics. I was really motivated and I finally decided to choose Counselling and stay to help others in the future.

78% and almost done

Hi everyone. Sorry for the late night post. I think my brain functioning well at night. Usually I spend this hour by doing my assignment but tonight, I want to continue my story about my experience being a counselling students or a special name that Dr. Fa give us that is ‘trainee counselor’.

In busy finishing our report, case study, video and presentation, we are now in week tenth. Undeniable, as a student we have a lot of things to do. Assignment can make me fun, feel motivate and also can make me feel nervous.

In BHS subject, things that make me fun is when doing assignment. As all of you know, this subject have one individual assignment and group assignment. I enjoyed doing individual assignment because I know myself better because there was a part that I have to write about myself, my family, my behaviour management and the happiness project.

After shoot for our video assignment

But, there is a part that hard for me is a letter of gratitude. I do not want to write that letter to my parents because they not influence me at all. But, I know they always support me on whatever I am doing now. I have one friend that I knew when I went to boarding school. I entered that school by myself without my lower secondary school friends because I am the only one who did the last minute decision. Being far from family and did not have any friends is too challenging for me. I act like there were nothing happen because I want to show to my parents that I have made a good decision. I start knew this guy because we were in the same class. He was an excellent student during our batch. Because of his good academic, he always challenged me. One of his challenges was he wanted me to get on stage to receive SPM slip. You know what, I accepted that challenge and I made it!! But, I realize. I never thanked  him. I also do not why. Maybe it is because of my ego.

Another BHS assignment that I enjoyed was making a video editing although I feel like a drunk person. This was my first time doing the video editing. I learn editing skill in youtube and my friends that have skill in editing also taught me very well. Making a video want you to cooperate with your group members. Praise to god, all of my member doing well and give 100% commitment. Thank you Salwa and Izzah for staying up till morning to finish our report. Thank you very much!!!

Realize or not, we almost finish our semester 1 syllabus. Do not forget that our BHS examination just around the corner. Good luck to all my friends. Thank you for lending me your time reading this blog.
