Dance, dance~ ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪


Somehow I have joined a group for cosplayers who like to dance at Facebook, and we will have lots of dances to do during events; C2AGE, Animangki, Comic Fiesta and others. Usually we will gather on weekends to practice together, and unfortunately I cannot attend all of the meetings because their main place to practice is at KLCC Park, and I live at Melaka. So.. yeah. OTL

However- I will have the chance to meet all of them during Comic Fiesta this December, and I cannot wait for that moment. I am sure I will be like, standing at the side, do not know what to do, feeling awkward because do not know anyone. 

Meehh~ I will try to survive then. XD

Anyway, up until this moment, I have learned about four simple dances.


Happy Synthesizer

Hare Hare Yukai

Teyutte

Caramelldansen ParaPara Version


Now, I am trying to learn;


Fukkireta

Heart Catch Paradise

Papepipopu

Renai Circulation

PonPonPon


.. and counting.


I hope I will manage to learn these dances. Urgghhhh. *rolls*

UPU Result; Degree


Another late update. XD



11 July 2013, UPU's result finally out and all of the Matriculation's, ASASI's and Diploma's leavers were squirming in their seat, feeling nervous to know their destined result. I could not even sleep the day before the result was out. Not to mention, I had to take for my second dose of HPV injection. It doubled up for my nausea. @(>n<)@

... Alhamdulillah, I got the course of my first choice. (>v<)/

I managed to continue my study for Degree in B.ED TESL at UiTM ShahAlam. ShahAlam will be my 'second home' for another three to four more years. 

So yeah, another more years for me there. Another more battles to fight for the only bus provided to go to my faculty. Another more years of being annoyed because we will be left aside by both UiTM ShahAlam (because our faculty is at UiTM Seksyen 17; INTEC) and INTEC (because we are not INTEC students). Another more.. torment for me. (QAQ) 

Oh well, it couldn't be helped. I felt grateful enough for getting the course that I've been wanting since I was in Form4. 

I could not wait for this September, to meet new friends, to continue my study, and to have more experiences there. But- the only thing I do not look forward to is the MDS I need to get through for a freaking week. Hnnggghhhhh! (>A<)


...


Anyway, I have reached the conclusion for MEdSI's interview. The interview for MEdSI's test is when some universities call you to have it. Since MEdSI means 'Malaysian Educators Selection Inventory'; if anyone of you apply for any courses that would make you as an educator in future, you are ought to take the test. So, if you sit for the test, and do not get called from any universities you had applied before for interviews, then it is safe to conclude that you do not pass the test. 

However, do not get disheartened or think that you would not get any place in universities. You will, but not the course that need you to pass MEdSI, that is all.

MEdSI Test; UPSI.


Late update is late. XD


At 12 a.m on 10 May 2013 (Ahahaha that was almost a month ago! XD), one of my friends just posted a link regarding MEdSI on our ASASI TESL page and I immediately checked on it. Much to my disappointment, I didn't manage to get called for the test.

HOWEVER!

At 12 p.m, after I had my lunch, I decided to browse over all comments posted at the post and I saw my friend said "Eh, suddenly I got it". Feeling curious, I decided to re-check and ta-da! I got it! 

I had to take the MEdSI test on 12 May, at UPSI, Perak and my test was at 8:30 a.m.

It sent me panicking a little as there was no one available to send me there. I was about to give up and decided not to take the test when another friend of mine said that the test was a must for us, especially if we want to continue in our programme, so I panicked even more. Luckily, my sister-in-law quickly asked her superior to give her a day off during that day, and it was approved. 

Anyway, we began our journey at 2:00 a.m from our place (My mom insisted we went there as early as possible) and arrived at UPSI at 6:30 a.m. Of course the university's gate didn't open yet at that time, and fortunately there was one eatery near the university so we decided to crash there for a while. 




My three-year-old niece was the one who took this picture. Both of them here are my cousins. The girl is the same age of mine - her MEdSI test was at 3:30 p.m - while the boy is younger than us by two years. 


I was just being playful here with my niece. I never thought that she managed to snap my picture. Maaann! XD


7:30 a.m, we decided to go back to the university. Seriously, the distance between UPSI and this eatery place was just about 7-10 minutes walking. XD However, there are lots, and I mean lots of dogs. 

Around 8:00 a.m, I went to the venue and waited outside for the test. There, I met my friends from secondary school and we chatted to burn the times, and to burn down the nervousness too. 



I never realized my dad had snapped this picture when I was talking with my friends until he showed me. XD


8:30 a.m, we were being called to get into the lab. My first thought was "Computer? Online?" since it stated in our letter that we need to bring pencils, and pens, and erasers, you know the drill - but then the test was taken online. *le sigh* Me feel me wanna ripped off the letter at that time.

The test was.. easy if I must say. We need to answer 300 questions in one hour and half. Although there were only 'yes'/'no' or 'agree'/'disagree' answers however sometimes it kinda made us think too. The questions are easy; easy to get it, and easy to fail. I could still remember some of the questions though. Oh, the questions are all in Malay, don't worry. :D


"Waktu rehat digunakan untuk guru membuat bisnes" 

"Hari cuti Sabtu atau Ahad digunakan untuk membuat kelas"

"Guru boleh bercinta dengan pelajarnya"

"Guru Matematik boleh mengajar subjeknya pada waktu PJK"


So, those were some of the questions. For me, it was like a trap. Ngee!

I guess all you can do is answer the questions as positive as you can. However, do mind that they actually go through all your answers to know whether you're honest or not. I don't know how they do that, they just do.

Oh, people say that you can only take MEdSI once in your lifetime, and that you wouldn't know the result of the test. The only way for you to know is when you're being called for the interview (which I don't know what does they means by interview; universities' interviews or MEdSI's interview hmmmm). I don't know for sure about this since I'm in the middle of waiting for my UPU result. Once I get it for sure, I'll tell you. 

TTYL..? XD

Life as ASASI TESL UiTM student (Sem2 - December2012/April2013)


So, for my Second semester, I don't wish to explain how I got there blablabla but for this sem I got new roommate! Two seniors and one coursemate! Those two seniors only had two weeks left there when we got in. Guess what happened after those weeks passed? WE CONQUERED THE ROOM FOR THE WHOLE SEMESTER IT WAS AWESOME!!! *throw confetti*

Anyway, I got sorted into Group D! Oh yeah, we realized that our lecturers just played around with ranking of the classes, previous Group A was now Group E, Group B was Group D, so on and so forth. Basically, I was still in Group B although some of my classmates moved on to Group E (supposedly Group A). Well duh, I'm not genius like them.

The subjects that we had to take for second sem were almost the same as sem one's except 'Computer Literacy', 'Malaysian Studies' and 'College Study Skill' were replaced by 'Drama and Language', 'Literature', and 'Basic Principle of Education'. 

Drama class was awesome! Well, it's drama. You can imagine what would you do in the class. You need to act of course! Obviously among all the other subjects, we love Drama class the best. XD

Owh, this was my class for second semester!



Guess what did I call my class as~ .. D'HAREM! Kekeke. Oh come on, don't you see it? We only had ONE boy and the rest were girls. It's obvious why I call it as 'harem'. XD


I love Lyana's expression here. Really suited her condition; being far away from all of us. And not to mention, this was unintentional! XD


Second semester was far more challenging from first semester because we had 26 credit hours to complete. TWENTY-SIX! Imagine how many sleep hours we need to sacrifice!

*cough* Putting that aside, I shall show you the place where I'd been spending almost one year there. 



Still remember my last post, where my friends Farah and Ummi took their picture at the front of logo? Well, somehow in second sem, they changed it from 'Universiti Teknologi MARA, Kampus Seksyen 17' to only 'INTEC'. Heh. Awesome, isn't it? We were kind of felt bitter about this but mehh~


INTEC Library; the only hang out place for us if we wanted an air-conditioned place. XD I must say most of us went to this library because of its Lab IT. Online, online~ 8D


INTEC Library taken from behind. :D 


'Kafe Gagak'; one of the cafes at INTEC. This cafe is popular for TESL students for lunch since it's near our buildings. I'd taken it on Sunday so yeah, it was closed. XD


Area around 'Kafe Gagak'. This was taken during our last paper of final exam for second semester. Kekeke. 

As usual, in every last year of studying we will have dinner/graduation party. Ours was few days after last paper of final exam; 9April at Hotel UiTM. Our theme was formal so yeah, you can expect the dudes wearing tuxedo and dudettes wearing dress. Though there were girls who only wore 'Baju Kurung'. :D



This was when we were waiting for bus to pick us up at 'Bus stop Kolej Mawar'. XD


Rahmah and I! Both of us wore the same clothes; a dress, a blazer and shawl. XD Even the colour was almost the same!


Puteri and Wardahchi!


Me and Wardahchi~! 


Nabilah and I. :D


Me and Sofie! 


Amalina and Patricia! Both of them were my classmates in D'Harem. ;D


KakJaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Oh how I miss called her that. :')


Me and 'Tricia. I was the only one who called her that. Everyone else called her as 'Pat'. XD


Syasyachi and I! *heartheart*


MingMing~ My adorable friend. :D


Harith and Luke! Tuxedoooooo~ *drool* .. Ahahaha, sorry, sorry! 


Le Ammar~ 8D


I had to ask for his girlfriend's permission to take picture with him. Kekekeke. Thankfully his girlfriend is my friend! Oh, she was the one who took this picture of us! XD


Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, LUKE!! *squeal* Ahahahaha! Most of us were still 'fangirling' over him. XD


My 'Malaysian Studies' lecturer for first sem, and 'Drama and Language' lecturer for second sem; Miss Azzy! I adore her so much she is so adorable and cute and understanding and everything! She was being so patient on us and helped us when we had difficulty of portraying our character! I miss her so much ahikfbcikcbdcbdl-! (QvQ)


My 'Computer Literacy' lecturer for first sem, and 'Listening&SpeakingII' for second sem; Madam Ruqayya. She's awesome too. I admire her. I still couldn't believe she was interested on my public speaking regarding 'Cosplay' (yes I choose 'cosplay' as my topic). And when I told her the reason I chose the topic (for the ability to talk about topic if I'm not mistaken) that I am a cosplayer, she replied "Oh, I know". I was baffled! How did she know about it!? 


Dinner had been the last day for us to gather together since after that we would be separated. We didn't know which university we would get into for degree, and we didn't even know whether we would get TESL again or not. However, one thing we sure, we would cherish our moment together, forever. 

I love every one of you; TESL students batch 2012/2013!

Life as ASASI TESL UiTM student (Sem1 - Jun2012/October2012)


+Edited on 6May; added few things and pictures! XD+

On 2 Jun 2012, I had been sent to UiTM ShahAlam for me to pursue my study in tertiary education there, in TESL. Since it was my first time EVER separated from family, I must say I felt quite sad to leave them. Come on, 18 years of living with my parents and I never lived at hostel, suddenly I had to? I was freaking out!

The first week was for orientation which they called as MDS (Minggu Destini Siswa) week. It was horrendous. Felt like you were going to a scout camp, but unlike only for 2-3 days, it was for the whole week! I was dying, if I must say. I still remembered how we were being scolded by those facilitator sisters because our voice was not loud enough during the singing part. Geez, you can't really compare girl's voice with boy's voice! Of course they are louder! (=x=")

As much as it was hectic during the whole week, it was quite fun as we got to see one match between UiTM's team (UiTM FC) versus PulauPinang's team. What made it awesome, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Student Affairs Prof. Dato' Dr. Abdullah Mohamad Said also joined those players to play! I must say almost all girls cheered only for him. XD

Anyway, after MDS week, we began our lesson weeks. For the first sem, we had to take 24 credit hours with 8 courses; 4 cores and 4 non-cores. The core courses were 'Reading', 'Writing', 'Listening&Speaking', and 'Grammar' while the other courses were 'Computer Literacy', 'College Study Skills', 'Islamic Education Studies' and 'Malaysian Studies'. 

..

Before we got to our class, we had to take one replacement test where we would get sort according to the result of the test. And I, got sorted into Group B. It was awesome. I loved all my classmates there. And we, even called our own group as 'Barnian' as our class representative somehow was like 'Barney', and thus we are the 'Barnians'. XD

Psst, guess which one was our class representative! ;D





This was my class for Semester 1. As you can see, we only got four boys in our class. We; the girls love to fight over Luke and claim him as ours. Though it was only an act. Almost all lecturers believed that we were really fighting over him! XD


Yes, yes. You can see part of our campus/faculty there. Oh, we were taking picture near the INTEC Library by the way. 


I must say there was nothing extraordinary happened during the whole sem, mostly because our schedule was so packed with classes! 24 hours credit every single week, we didn't have any free time. The most common class hours would start at 8:30 a.m, and ended at 6.00 p.m.

Anyway, did I mention our campus and our hostel were about 15 minutes away from each other? And that bus was really hard to be seen there! We (the girls) stayed at Kolej Mawar, Seksyen 7 and our campus was at Seksyen 17; UiTM ShahAlam Kampus Seksyen 17 (INTEC). Yes, INTEC, the place where everyone who will pursue their study overseas need to come there for preparation. However, we were NOT INTEC students. It just that our campus and INTEC located in the same area. (=3=")

However we did have fun together!



From left: Farah and Ummi, posing in front of the logo. You can't really see it but it said 'Universiti Teknologi MARA, Kampus Seksyen 17'. XD


From left:: Nana, Ummi, Assila and Farah at TESL Square, the place for us TESL students to hang out before, in between and after classes. XD


We hung out at Secret Recipe after class. Well, not all of us here. All of the boys came anyway. Kekekeke! XD


Eh, no, no! They are not whatever you are thinking. They are just schoolmate since secondary so yeah, this is just an act! (>s<)


Luke and Ammar! XD

That was it, my life as ASASI TESL student for first semester. Few weeks before first semester ended, we got news where our group would be re-shuffled again which mean we would not have the same classmates. We were shocked hearing it and kind of repulsed against it. Well, it couldn't be helped. (QAQ)

Next entry I would talk about my life in Second Semester. Byon, byon~ *heart*
