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.
