Ceritera U2

    The last week has seen that 117 of us had officially graduated from JAD-MJHEP as JAD batch 15 or MJHEP batch 4. As always every start must ends. Macam pepatah melayu, bertemu dan berpisah adat manusia biasa, berdoalah kita agar aman dan sentosa... And this, is the end of our ‘ceritera’ as student in preloved MJII for three years.
     3 tahun bukanlah waktu yang singkat. Walaupun kadang-kadang orang cakap pejam celik pejam celik je dah habis belajar. Jadi, 3 tahun suka duka pahit manis gelak tawa riang tangisan akan sedaya upaya aku catitkan disini sebagai coretan dan bingkisan dari kisah hidup aku. Maybe in the next few years i will read this again, but who knows.
     For the first year, yes the year is the year of hardship, commitment and dilemma. Ada masa aku terfikir betulkah keputusan aku ni. Kalau kecundang tengah jalan nahas aku bai. Enter as the last intake (third intake) for the year is not something that you will dream of. Dengan berbekalkan pujukan ibu, daftarlah jugak aku disini. In that room, there were eight people, only six people stayed until today. Eight of us were exclusively taken for intensive lecture for three months. It was like catch up class in school when u are left with most syllabus because of the late admission (a month) from others.

     The first semester, the engineering subjects were taught in English before they were transferred to Japanese in second semester. Quite a shocking experience when u see sensei (lecturer) yang English terabur first semester, speaks Japanese in second semester macam orang baca berita. Mengantuk tapi kagum. For records, inilah masa aku diuji macam-macam test setiap hari (mostly Japanese test), baru nak merangkak baca bahasa Jepun, nak hafal kanji Jepun plus aku tak kenal orang lagi. Believe it or not, sampai graduated pun ada lagi batchmates perempuan yang aku tak kenal. Good thing or bad thing? All in all, this is the hardest year in JAD, u survive this, u survive another two years.
   Naik ke U1, sejujurnya tahun ni macam form 4 dekat sekolah menengah dulu. Honeymoon year. After all that blood and tears in the first year, apa salahnya nak rilek-rilek sat. In this year, there will be less Japanese class meaning less burden and affliction. Plus the class will be in more relaxing style like ‘baling-baling dadu’ or ‘lakonkan situasi yang awkward’. In the opposite, the engineering class will increase bringing the rapid increase in sleep-in-class rate. So, less tests, lesser stress, more time, better joys. Akan tetapi, kalau ada junior2 yang baca, ubah sikap sebegini. Yep, there will be culture shock when suddenly tests that made your nights sleepless gone, but honeymoon here, suffering next year. Personal advice, struggle, do the best for this semester because this semester will holds large percentage on your available universities when u go to Japan.

    Satu lagi perkara yang meninggalkan kesan bermakna ialah Beranang yang ketiadaan air setiap bulan. Dan setiap bulan, air terputus selama 4 hari sekurang-kurangnya. Fun facts, human can only survive 3 days without water.
    And here comes the last year, U2 as the final phase before flying to Japan. Tahun yang masih segar diingatan, baru beberapa hari berlalu. Terasa macam baru semalam daftar masuk sini. Pejam celik pejam celik dah habis. Ya, sama macam ayat diatas, but the facts is there. Aku start kenal orang, their habits, who they like, what they dislike and the year that I felt a strong and tight bond. Just like when I was in form 5 a couple of years ago. Aku mula rapat dengan sensei, selesa dengan orang-orang jepun dan makan sekali ramai-ramai. The thing that I will definitely miss – ramai study kat bilik sebab study thermodynamics. Dan tahun ni juga, aku wajib pilih university yang diidamkan untuk menyambung pelajaran. I choose Meiji University because I want to feel the life of Tokyo Metropolitan city and my house located at just at the back gate of university. Save money on transport.
    In the end, enrolling on this program is like a sweet dream that u never wanted. U want another dream but this dream is sweeter (although sometimes there were nightmares). All in all, this is the best three years that I had in life. Living here with u guys are like the best episodes in my life and I hope hingga berjumpa lagi di lain masa…
    As conclusion, I have the awesomest classmates in JAD. Hahaha

JAD walkthrough


This is an entry that been a long time had been in my mind, but never accomplished by hand. So here I am typing in the midst of midnight, hoping to share some of my experience to people out there. This time it is going to be divided into 3 parts; the interview, matrix year, university year 1.
The Interview
I would never thought that engineering is going to be career someday even though it is my hope to learn technical drawing. Watching my friends drawing, measuring somewhat attract my attention but that’s all. The one and only thing that is in my mind is I’m going to be an actuary. Anyway I saw the advertisement in a newspaper and I thought “let’s give it a try! At least I managed to get some experience for my future interview”. I applied.
Using my SPM trials result, I managed to pass into the interview session and be called to the Swiss Garden Resort and Spa Cherating, Kuantan since I had applied in Pahang region. The big day come. I travel with my 2 acquaintances and arrived around 8 in the morning. After registration completed, I entered the exam room. There are 10 candidates (to my surprise for Kl region, there are about 500 candidates). At 9, the exam begins. It is not difficult actually but since the brain had been in a holiday for a long time, it is quite a challenge. Basically the question will be the integration and differentiation for add math, find moles and molarity, Avogadro’s constant for chemist and calculating force and energy for physics. Calculator is prohibited but the number is not so big nor complicated so don’t worry. At 10, the real interview starts. This interview is pairing interview (each region is different), so I’m the third along with a confident-looking SSP girl, the fourth name will be called together. Take note that is not necessary for you to fight since it is just like a single interview but held at the same time. It is possible for both to be accepted or neither both are unaccepted. As for me, this is only a test interview for me so I don’t really feel nervous or sweaty hands or something like that. Smile, walk with bravery and sit neatly. As usual the first question is tell me about yourself bla..bla..bla.. then come the question, why do you choose japan instead of Malaysia? If given a chance what would you do there? After you graduated, any changes that you want to do in Malaysia? And last but not least what is the sin/cos/tan 0/30/60/90? The session completely ended in 10 and after that come the delicious brunch sponsored by YPM.
In 8 April 2014, I registered at Mara Japan Industrial Institute, Beranang.
Matrix Year
First year or called the matrix year is going to be the hardest yet the most enjoyable year among the 3 years education program. This is the year you are going to learn Japanese language to the daily-conversation-capable limit. For those who had learn, surely they had advantages but for only a month (the syllabus that was learned for five years in school were going to be covered in the first month). You will meet Japanese lecturers and try to get close as you can. There is also Malay lecturers so they will guide you for anything that you could not talk in Japanese. In the first semester, the science subjects are going to be taught in English but in second semester the ‘Japanization’ will be held rapidly.
The best part in this year is the special program semester that is held for a month. You will experience the Japanese culture and take part in it such as the art of writing (Shoudo), Japan kite making (Tako) and Origami plus Kirigami.
Anyway, matrix year are the time you get to know your dear friends, close to the lecturers and bear the pain of enjoying new languages and cultures.
University Year 1
Second year or known as University Year 1 (U1) are the year you start focusing on what you are going to do in future. Realize your strength and weakness. Tears and joy experience. In this part of life there will be a lot of challenge especially in learning your major subject (Electric & Electronic Engineering or Mechanical Engineering). Plus, the final result of this semester will be considered as the most important as it will be counted for Japan University entry.

During the first semester both EEE and ME students will learn the same subjects meaning that major subjects will not be taught yet. The hardest thing to do for this semester for me is to write your own lab report as Paper 3 in SPM subjects. Gradually you will earn knowledge and lab report skills in Japanese as you go through this semester. Then, come the short semester for 2 months. This is the time for you to learn Malaysian Studies and Sports Science as it is a requirement for the MQA. In addition, there is also introduction for you major subjects in this semester. You can actually relax a little bit in this semester as the classes are only 3 to 4 hours each day. Don’t forget there will be also final examination even though it is only a short semester. After that, there you go the second semester of U1. For Mechanical students you will start to learn Mechanics of Materials and for Electrical students you will learn Electric Circuit Theory 1. Surely the subjects are going to be harder, time is getting limited so make sure to work on a study plan or you will feel the pressure when it’s starting to get though.

18 June

Today is officially 18th of June. Supposedly this is a special day. Ok this time im not going to post anything benefical. Its just a lift of feeling. And I feel that i got to write this because i reckon for the next years, im not going to post anything like this anymore. Maybe next year i am able to forget the momories between us. Being together for 3 years, how are you going to say that i will able to cope with this in just a few months. Impossible! To make it worse, this my first love. People said that that first love were unable to forget. And I say, that is so true. However, this date also the beginning of a crack.

Flashback

Today is 18.6.2012.  And i still thinking on how would I celebrated this date with her. The present is in the bag, neatly packaged. Arghh! It is so tense right now. And now, the biggest mistake that I make is i dont approach her as i had the chance. Why im being so shy? And what come the next day is really astonishing. "I dont really expect the expensive presents of yours, all I need is just a simple birthday wish from you!". I am speechless. Im really sorry, but i couldnt do anything about it. It is a past, and the past never come back. I should learn from this mistakes..

Now

This date still haunting me. But I think life should go on, right? I still wished birthday, but this time it was feelingless. Huh! I know that it will never be the same, but still deep inside me, I hoped that there will second chance.

UKM2

Alright, this morning i gonna write about something that people hardly knows. It's about UKM2. What is this UKM2. Actually, this is just a test before any SPM leavers got the chance to enter Asasi Pintar at UKM. I not going to say much, it just i'm feeling to tell on the layout of the question and some tips probably.
Firstly, you have to choose to answer in Bahasa or English. This test consists of 15 sections and 300 questions. Shall we start?


1.Memorize
-consists of 20+ questions. This question requires you to memorise a pack of numbers, starting from 4 digits up to 9
2.General knowledge
-I reckon this is just a normal question on an iq test. Nothing much to tell. Some of the questions are, distance of moon-earth, rain formation, inventors of telephone, an island country.
3.Word meaning
-This is the part you will be able to 'goreng'. As example, the question need you to determine what a pencil is. Then, it made of wood and lead,have different sizes, use to write
4.Penaakulan perkataan
-They will give you a function of something and you need to guess. Such as, use to store clothes. Then, wardrobe. Notice that there will be many answers.
5.Another memorize
-This time they will mix up with alphabets. And you need to arrange them in order, number first. As instance, F39R5P. Then the answer is 359FPR.
6.Find the difference
-This is easy. Find the abnormal in a group. Here is an example. In a row, there are apple, grapes and chicken. Which is wrong?
7.Symbol=Digits
-This is another easy part. They give you a symbol for a digit and you have to write it back. Such as, 1=*, 2=!, 3=$... The question is $!* = 321.
8. Picture match
-Then come the toughest. They will give you a pack of pictures. Then you have to choose a group that those pictures belong to, one in each row. Hard to understand isn't? Example, there will be roses, durian, umbrella in a row. Another row consists of lily, bed and firehouse. Then the answer is roses and lily. Got it?
9. Simple math
-Standard 6. Plus, minus, discount, fraction
10.Incomplete picture
-Find what is wrong in the picture. A spectacles but they are no frames. Then, click at the frame.
11.IQ test
-They will give you some squares and circles and patterns. A must in IQ test.
12.Reasoning
-This a test on how do you think. Such as, what is your action if you happen to found a wallet. Take it or leave it? And, what is your opinion about Wawasan 2020? Good or bad?

That's all I want to say. Im really sorry to not remember another 3 sections. Maybe there will be other person would add it up. Please take not that this is subjective questions. And three hours will be given to answer. Believe me, that you have to answer swiftly as three hours wouldn't be enough(except if u are genius). If you get stuck, just put any answer and forward as there is no coming back.Last word, good luck and pray for the best!

First Gaji

Orait, setelah sebulan wa tunggu akhirnya wa dapat gak gaji pertama gua. Tapi, jujur kabo wa langsung tak puas hati. Ok fine. Memang wa ade banyak short, tpi kalau setakat lapan hinggit kire cincai je la bos. Tu pun nak berkira. Padahal duit banyak lagi. Hish... Apapun bersyukur je la apa yang ada. Mungkin ade hikmah di sebalik semua ni.Secara tak langsung, abis punah segala yang aku plan :

1. Nak belanja famili KFC
2. Belanja awek Secret Recipe
3. Kasut jog baru
4. Tukar brake disc

Ok, mungkin aku patut berhenti kerja. Kerja nak pegang duit ni memang tak sesuai agaknya untuk aku. Tekad aku nak cari kerja baru yang lebih memuaskan hati daripada kerja ni.I'm sorry boss for not being a good employee, maybe you can find someone a lot better than me!
