Banchelor in TESL: Third Year First Semester

Hi everyone. I think it has become a routine for me to update this lousy blog once the result is out. And yes, I'm going to say the same thing that you've read every past semester. Yes, I fucked up and my stupid ass literally threw away my precious study weeks. You read me right, WEEKS.

I think it has becoming a serious issue on my side how I kept on ditching my studies every semester. It has becoming a bad habit and I don't like it. But I'm not doing it because I'm lazy, no. It's because I simply can't. I'm all over the place since my second year. I don't know what happen back then or what changed me but I'm still stuck in this agonizing phase where I'm simply unable to enjoy life.

I lost joy in socializing. My confidence is never there during presentation. I'm bothered by intrusive thoughts and my past mistakes that keep on trying to make me remember dumb things I did in the past. It's really messing up my life. There's never a day where the unwanted past memories stop bubbling into my train of thoughts. It's so frequent that it's jeopardizing my life. That's what I'm going through at the moment and I just thought I should let you know why I'm in such condition.

So in class, I barely focused. I took no notes the whole past semester which were obviously not good. It clearly showed that I was not paying attention at all when I supposedly should. But I learnt something important this year. Third year, is definitely a crucial year for everyone. What I say next might sound mean, but it's the reality that I went through. Third year is where your classmates (to whom you never talked to or close with) suddenly tried to get into your group. Listen to me, go out of your way to stick to your previous group; the one you are already comfortable with because those classmates are trying to be a cocktail rider, trying to have an easy access to good grades without working hard. They earn a better grade working with you but they might jeopardize your own grade. Please keep that in mind. If you're this type of people, please, stop dragging people down with you, instead, pull yourself together and get on your feet by yourself!

I had an extremely hard time last semester because I was suddenly pulled away from my usual group. My cliques are hardworking people. It's easy to communicate and discuss with them because each of them participated in group work, aimed for the best and had each other's back. Having only worked with amazing people before, I was suddenly forced to work with a different group whose pace I can never get used to. So please, please, never break for your clique.

Group work was the highlight for last semester. You have to write an essay, analyze the essay, make questions from the essay based on bloom taxonomy, barret taxonomy and also the four reading strategies. You have to create a lesson plan, have your lesson plan evaluated by teachers, your lecturer and your peers. You have to get involved with inclusive communities, able to create awareness activities and also do maths. Hahaha. Funny, but true.

Alhamdulillah, somehow, I still managed to land myself in the Dean list again despite my troubles. I'm all over the place and I'm definitely not myself. As usual, I'm amazed with how I still managed to get such result. My cliques know how messed up I was and still am right now. How I slept the night before exam with no remorse. I'm not joking, I never was. I'm just so terrible to the point that I feel guilty when I get a good result, knowing how I let myself drown in the sea of insanity. I'm not bragging, no. I'm not saying you don't need to study to get a good result. You definitely need to, definitely need to give your all. Please don't be like me, never be like me. 

I've lost the joy of life. The little things that make you happy, I cannot feel it anymore. Socializing, competing with your friends on who gets the highest gpa, getting dean list, awarded with a special award from your faculty; the emotions I should've felt, I couldn't feel it. It's no longer there. I don't know what happen, but I just couldn't feel it and it bugs me, it really does.

To those who wishes to know, my GPA this semester is 3.8*

I don't know how I earn this, but God, I'm thankful with what you've given me. Thank you.

Please study hard. Don't be like me. I'm not a good example.

I'm trying to be better. I've talked to my dad (his profession has something to do with this trouble I'm facing) and we're working on it. We had a long talk. He's worried and I'm worried too. So please, NEVER be like me, please.

Banchelor in TESL UKM: First Semester

I decided to update today, a day before I start my second semester. So, semester one is a roller coaster ride for me. It was tough, so many sleepless nights and anxiety thoughts. I enrolled in UKM on week 7, right on the mid-sem of the first semester. I was forced to merge with the 'arus perdana' students of UKM which means I had to catch up with all the seven weeks that I have missed; the seven weeks worth of assignments and the seven weeks worth of lectures. It was insane but I somehow made it. I remember on the first week of my enrolment, I suddenly needed to take a quiz of a subject I barely knew about. Can you imagine yourself having to take a quiz about an alien topic? I had to go through that since there'll be no exceptions or handicap for me even though I was a fresh, new student in Banchelor of TESL. My answers were all nonsense, nothing seems right so when I walked out from the exam hall, there was only one thing on my mind; I am going to fail this for sure. O...

Welcome to Dengkil : Pros and Cons!

I have started my second semester in a new place, UiTM Dengkil, Selangor about more or less three weeks ago! Well, everywhere you go, they'll be pros and cons and the same case can be applied to this matter. But everything I listed down here might change in the future so please don't immediately say no to this brand new place, okay? Lets start with the pros. What do I like about Dengkil? 1) IOI City Mall Putrajaya It's just 20 minutes away from UiTM Dengkil and don't worry, there are buses that will take you to IOI for only RM3.00! Back in Lendu, we need to go for half an hour to one hour ride just to reach AEON, which is the nearest shopping complex we can go to. Don't get me wrong, people. I love Lendu as well. There's AEON and Dataran Pahlawan. But in terms of transportation, I might prefer IOI better. If you want to go to IOI via Taxi (metered taxi), it'll cost you around RM25-RM30. 2) Putrajaya Sentral Near to the bus station. Plus...

Interview Asasi Tesl 2015

Assalammualaikum to dear readers. I make this blog just to put up my experience in Foundation in Tesl's interview since I realize that this experience is indeed valuable and needed to be shared to the upcoming generations that are interested in taking this course in the future. Like any other bloggers who post out about this particular topic, I'll be doing the same thing- I'll tell you about: 1) Documents needed for the interview 2) Preparations 3) Clothing 4) A place to stay for the night (for those who are going to have their interview in UiTM Pasir Gudang) 5) Writing test and also the holy interview.  I'm not sure if this will help you or not but I do hope that it will help you in someways, tho. So, let's move on. The first thing you need to do once you are being called for the interview is preparing the documents that are requested by UiTM. Print two copies of each documents as a precaution measure. Anything can happen so it's better to be prep...
