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!
