lend me a hand??? people 101 (2)

The train is  my favourite mode of public transport ever untuk balik Tampin.

Jadi there will be times that I spend dekat KL Sentral,waiting for my train to depart. And I like it there. Mcm shopping mall pun ade KL sentral tu.

As you know there are like tons of people there.Tourists, workers,  foreigners, locals  and macam-macam lagi kan?

I guess what I am trying to bring up in these post is Courteous Malaysians... where are you?

Sebab there  were a few incidences where I hope my fellow Malaysians would help, tapi usually those who would offer me assistance are the non Malaysians.

1)Masa tgh angkat beg berat gila nak naik KLsentral tu foreigner yg offer untuk tolong angkat beg tu (masa tu tgh revision week, nak balik study konon...jadi banyak buku)

2) The same masa nak balik KL, foreigner yg angkatkan beg.

3) Just recently, masa nak letak bag kat overhead compartment kat dalam train, a caucasian guy helped me to push my bag up.

4) When I asked a Malaysian guy for assistance to do the same thing, siap boleh cakap lagi "Batu ke apa dalam bag ni?" (laptop antik kan berat lah sikit)

 

I think this is what I see a lot in Malaysia, dalam buses contohnya, those yg offer seats kat  elderly women, will be foreigners.

Tapi I guess, bukan salah Malaysians agaknya, mungkin takut dianiaya bila tolong org... mcm yg kita selalu dengar kat berita tu... dadah ada dalam beg and such.

Tapi kalau org Malaysia takut ditipu, foreigners pun must feel the same way kan sebab diorg pun manusia jugak kan?
Tapi foreigners  boleh pulak tolong org di Malaysia  kan biarpun ini bukan negara mereka ? dan org yg ditolong bukan rakyat mereka sendiri?

Jadi kalau  foreigners boleh tolong org Malaysia apa yg menghalang rakyat Malaysia dari menolong org Malaysia sendiri?

 I guess, I am asking where are the Courteous Malaysians? yg  Like those yg disiarkan kat tv. Yg I see are a lot of  Malaysians yg cepat menghakimi org berdasarkan org punya pakaian and physical appearances.

I am not saying I am better human being, I am just seorang anak muda yg sedang belajar everyday in hope to be a better person in many years to come.

Man, susahnya menulis pasal a serious issue...

life lessons 2012: feedbacks, cara terima

Salam semua, moga dalam keadaan sihat sejahtera hendaknya. Dalam beberapa hari lagi kita akan masuk tahun baru, that is the year 2013. Hence, the new look... (chewah!!!)

I gotta say, tahun ni I have gathered  a lot of knowledge about people and life. Hopefully, bila dah banyak buat kerja dan belajar ni my face takdelah macam baby sgt. Because that is what I  have gathered from the people I worked with, I look too naive and my behaviour agak jujur (dalam kata lain agak lurus bendul). You know kata-kata tu doa if they keep saying I look naive, I will forever look naive kan?
mcm ni ke rupa saya? Comelnya...

But then again,I like my look, tapi I want my look to be accompanied by  level of maturity  yg org tak sangka ada kat she who looks  'jujur' ni.

So regarding feedbacks, I've got lots of them regarding my event. Well these feedbacks I guess I can call them constructive criticisms.

1) Dari paksu
Dari gaya Paksu cakap, I thought he was going to complement the emcee but this is what he mentioned instead:
- emcee seksi, (she was bidan terjun at the time)
-dia patut tahu how to introduce speaker (since she is a student of mescomm faculty) but I guess she didn't know how to do that
masa tu I wasn't there (sebab nak ambik cawan)
-jgn buat event selepas tiga event berturut-turut (had no choice, that was the only date available) sebab tulah semua org nampak lemau, (I am myself surprise that I didn't get sick)

that was certainly unexpected... :|

2) Dari president
-again emcee seksi, pretty much it (dia laki kan so...)

3)Dari mantan setiausaha
-best program!!!!, buat lagi boleh?
sayang bee, ;)

4) Dari bendahari program
'RAD,jangan sesekali ko tunjuk dekat caterer budget kita lagi ok?!!!'

So what to do with these feedbacks? Well mula-mula rasa pelik dan sedikit stress org komplen banyak-banyak (rasa mcm kena kutuk) I guess now I'm quite okay with it and belajar supaya x buat these mistakes and buat event yg lebih baik lagi di masa hadapan

terasa statement aku sendiri sungguh cliche...

So bagi seseorang yg kosong  terus jadi event manager rasanya I did alright with a few flaws here and there kan ? I sure hope so... Aminnnn and thank you  God.

life lessons 2012: people 101

I've been watching a lot of videos on you tube  lately that I haven't been reading or writing a lot, so having a  a really difficult time to start off this post.

Today is the 28th of December , I carried out my event on the 18th of November. Although it was small and the event name indicated it was going to be boring (although I can assure you it wasn't) it turned out to be pretty well.

some othose attended the event
One thing I did learn was that, event management walaupun dalam sekecik-kecik event, there are a lot things that goes on dekat belakang tabir. That was a very important lesson. Which reminded me not to ever  mengumpat, mengomplen (wujudkah perkataan tersebut)  pasal org punya event sesuka hati.

I guess this taught me untuk  lebih respect event management business ( dah buat, baru tau bukan senang) dan lebih menghargai  events yg UiTM set up kan

The second would be, is I have learnt  to WORK  with people ( selama ni aku kerja dengan monkeys kah). When you work with PEOPLE, it mengajar kau how to be a part of your subordinates and still conduct them. This a skill I yet have to master, sebab hari tu ade my KEFAJAR peers yg agak garang, I felt like disagreeing, tapi didn't, sebab takut dengan dia. Sedangkan I was project manager KAN?

I also learn to be thankful for those yg AJK dan bukan  AJK  who have helped me out. Either sebab kesian nampak project manager tengah angkat kotak air yg sgt berat @ bertujuan mengusya, apa-apa pun Thank you, you guys, couldn't have done it without you.

All and all what I can say is event that  I would regard as my training wheel, dah selesai. So now I can move on to larger and more meaningful things: trip to THAILAND anyone?

aku tgh procrastinating

That is a very hard word to spell (seriously, I have to look it up). And I hate it, but I am doing it right now.

I have assignments to do and they are due next week. Esok, name je hari Ahad, tapi ade event kolej yg makan masa 1 hari, dan meeting untuk dinner persatuan malam esok, damn....

I have to say, I'm probably procrastinating because:

1) I am excited (bukan yg bagus punya excited, worried punya excited) about my event.
     So much so, that I can't concentrate in class, I can't do work, all I can think about is getting it done.
2) Bila I do work, in front of my laptop, I turn on everything else when I got bored and want a break, I read these "everything else" for, well, for a very long time.

Things I have to do?

a) literature review.... nak habiskan hari ni nampaknya there's no chance of that happening dan takde dalam journal about the things I'm going to write, jadi nanti tanya supervisor.... (this chapter is hard....)

b)event things to talk about in the meeting-done

c) computer programming homework- ok esok buat (yelah tu....)

d) philosophy of science (paper yg boring, xde exam, setakat lulus dan gagal, tapi kena lepas) ok buat lepas blogging

Other than that, my cat's death still bothers me... but the event management thing is a good distraction from it (and from doing my school work....)


So this excitement thing, I know I need to turn it down a notch , to find  peace and serenity so I can study and do work but I can't.... what the hell is wrong with me?
\

So last but not least, (it's my conscious turn now) Rad kalo ko dah sedar..... daripada ko blog x tentu arah baik quit and do your school work, since itu yg menentukan ko akan grad atau tak!!!!!!!!

So Selamat Tengah Malam untuk semua org..............

for a little while I felt like an adult

I am directing an activity for my persatuan,

its nothing big, nothing fancy... Program Smart Learning jer...
At first, I thought of doing this small (50 people) and to give back to my persatuan sebab I think being with them have helped me to improve my grades. But he said, do 100, and do it for other kids  too....
I was like WHAT???? (dalam hatilah....)

But doing the proposal on my own (tiga jerawat tumbuh serentak),
 meeting and talking to my boss  and setiusaha agung on my own (segan gila.... although I know diorang sporting habis)
going to the canseleri on my own  (jalan kaki tau takde keta??? Budak uitm je tahu berapa atas bukitnya canseleri tu) to get penasihat punya  stamp kelulusan.
Tuhan je tahu, berapa menakutkan semua ni for me. Tuhan je tahu how I felt this is such a big responsibility for little ol me. Sebab I guess I always think myself as a 22 year old baby (yelah an only child kan) that can't  do anything or know anything about event management. There are times when I felt like dropping everything.

But on that day, (15th Oct to be precise) my proposal got through ( although she said ade benda yg adik kena isi lagi ni then pulangkan balik ok dik? & banyak budget kena potong)

I felt like an actual adult...
I felt like I'm really working, meeting actual people, actual adults, dekat Pusat Kegiatan Pelajar, although it was scary to think that my proposal might be turned down, but I went it for it anyways...
and it did  got through

I was glad...
Although after I got my surat kelulusan I sort of TERCENGANG "NAK BUAT APA LEPAS NI?
 and this girl who knows nothing is now the PROJECT MANAGER (crap!! what have I gotten myself into?)
God, tolonglah bagi kami membantu antara sesama sendiri (to help me specifically) so that benda ini berjalan dengan jayanya.... Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin....

Its not fair, I want to have breakfast too...

I  am now on a train  heading home. 
Its not fair. One of the things I now, hate to do in a fasting month, is balik rumah naik train. 

Why????you may ask....

The tourists are eating. I like to eat during a train ride, it is one of the nikmat of berjalan jauh.  Tapi since it is ramadhan...

Masuk masuk je, train, dah bau food these tourist are having for breakfast.I think I had a sniff of McMuffin. That was me before fasting month. I was the one who supposed to buy McD's Breakfast. I use to do that, beli banyak  banyak makanan, lepas tu makan dalam train.

Tapi since it is ramadhan...
Ambik bau jelah. Damn these tourists, its not fair. I want to have breakfast too.

Tulah rajin bebeno ambik intersesi mase bulan puasa....

My seat
