           In week seven, Miss Amreet has teaching us about the writing style for the web. She explained to all of my classmates about the style that we use when writing for the web. She showed us some examples of the good writing style and the bad one. Examples of improper writing style are, using abbreviation when writing, use the taboo words, writing without knowing the reader, using the sensitivity words and writing without checking the grammar and spelling. She give an advice to all of us for using a proper writing style. She gave all of us a homework. She want us to find three website with using the proper writing style and improper writing styles. She wants all of us to evaluate all the websites, for example, why that I said this website using improper style, and I need to show the evidence for the points that I have been stated. She also taught us about the important of writing style. Besides she giving a lecture, she also emphasis about the attendance on that week. She told us for not skipping her class. She asked all the students who skip her class for more than one time to provide a letter for her. I am quite nervous because I am also have skip her class for two times. I hope this can be a lesson for me for not skipping her class anymore. Besides that, we also need to submit our assignment which is web advertisement. The last day to submit the assignment is on this Friday. Fortunately, my pair and I have finish the assignment and we have submit it earlier. I hope that I can improve myself in every aspects next time.

           In week five we still proceed with the presentation because many of us still have not present yet including me. On Monday, there are three presenter who presenting. I also had courage to volunteer to present on that day. The first presenter is Norain. She was presenting on the topic of colors. She talk about the types of colors and how that colors effect ourself. She also suggested some colors that suitable to paint our house during this coming Hari Raya. I am the second presenter. I was presenting about shadow puppetry which in Malay we call that as Wayang Kulit. It’s quite nervous when standing in front of the lecturer and the classmates but I throw away that feeling and think positive. I tell myself that, my friends can do it, why not me. So from that I just proceed with my presentation.  Some of the audience felt interested with my presentation and some of them look boring. Maybe because it is in fasting month and they might not be as energetic as before. I do my best for my presentation and I hope get the best, but it is according to my effort too. Thank God because my presentation going smoothly and I hope everybody enjoy my presentation include my beloved lecturer. After my presentation, Jasmin presents her topic. She presents about the Korean games and I looked interesting with the demonstration that she did. I think I should try one of these games. The class for Monday was end by Jasmin’s presentation.  

 

         Same goes with the class on the Wednesday, we still proceed with the presentation. Eight of my classmates were presenting on that day. Eight of them are Nabilah Izzati, Lyana Natasya, Nurul Nabila, Munirah, Grace, Nabila Jeffry, Nazifah and Zarwani. Nabilah Izzati was presenting on the topic of ‘Why Japanese Live so Long’. She told us that Japanese can live so long because of their eating habits. Lyana Natasya was presenting on the ‘Famous Korean Food’. There are many appetizing Korean food but I cannot remember their names because the name is quite hard to be pronounced. I wish to try to eat Korean food one day. Nurul Nabila was presenting about sports. Sport is really important for us and we need to play sport at least once a week because it helps to maintain our health. The next presenter is Munirah. She presented to us about déjà vu. It’s quite interesting. Grace was presenting about water birth. It’s quite impressive to give birth underwater. Grace told us that she consider the water birth because the pain is less than normal delivery. Maybe I should consider it too in my future. Nazifah was presenting about rainbow and Zarwani was presenting about plastic surgery. What I learned from her presentation is, it is not good to do the plastic surgery because it can effected our own life. We need to be thankful with the God gift to us and there’s nothing worth to change what God has create. Finally, all those presentation really give me more new knowledge. I hope I can use all the knowledge in my future.  

 

Reflection Week Four

In week four, we are having the Prezi presentation. During the one hour class on Monday, a few of my friends had volunteered to do the presentation. Three of my classmates have done their presentation in the one hour class and the rest of us could not do the presentation because we do not have enough time. Firstly I really felt nervous to do the presentation because I still did not ready for the presentation. I don’t confident enough to speak in front because I still did not really understand about the topic that I will be presenting. I felt regret for choosing this topic because at last I found hard on how to explain to people because it is related to history. I remain calmed and think positive, I told to myself that I can do it and I felt a little bit released. Luckily on that day few of my friends had volunteered to do the presentation if not Miss Amreet will call our name randomly. The first presenter who had courage to be a volunteer to present first is Nuraminah. She was presenting about the skin. It is an interesting topic and I learned on how to take care of my skin, how to make my own face scrub and types of the human skin. The next presenter is Nur Liyana. She was presenting about the music. I gained more new knowledge from her presentation about the music. She said that we can recognize someone characteristic by his/her favorite music. The last presenter for that day is Rosmariah. She was presenting about ‘misai kucing’. Actually misai kucing is good to threat a disease such as Diabetes. Misai kucing also have it side effects. For example, a pregnant woman cannot take misai kucing during pregnancy.

On Wednesday, there are nine of classmates who presented on that day. The first presenter on that day is Asma’. She was presenting on the topic of tears. One of the things that I learned from her presentation is woman cry more that man. The next presenter is Shahira. She presented about the bucket list. Bucket list is you list down all the things that you want to do in your journey of life. She suggested many bucket list. For examples, bungee jumping, sky diving and scuba diving. Her presentation was very interesting with the video that she showed to us. I think someday I want to do the bungee jumping maybe. After that, Anis Aimi was presenting about lipsticks. From her presentation, I learned on how the lipsticks were made and how to make the lipsticks lasting on your lips for almost 24 hours. The next one is Nadhirah Nur. She was presenting on the topic of Mount Everest. There are many climbers who cannot survive during the climbing because it was so cold up there. Rosnita also be presenting on that day. She presents about ‘mimosa pudica’ or in Malay we call that as pokok semalu. Other name of the ‘mimosa pudica’ is touch me not. Syakirah Afifah, Fatin Zalikha and Norizatul Shahira also be presenting on that day. Syakirah was presenting on the topic of psychology. Fatin was presenting about MH370. She told us how the MH370 lost from the radar and some speculations about the tragedy. The loss of MH370 is very puzzling for all the people. The last presenter on that day and that week is Norizatul Shahira. She was presents about high heels. She showed us a video on how the right way to walk when wearing the high heels.

So far, all of the presentation on that week was going smoothly. I hope I can do better for my presentation.  

 

          

Reflection Week Three

It’s time for week three. In this week, I have learned about the Blog. Unfortunately there are no internet connections on that day and Miss Amreet just introduced to me and my classmates to the Blog. She tell us what Blog use for and how to make your own Blog. Blog has many advantages such as, we can share every knowledge that we have to the public, we can share our opinion and thought about the current issues and we can use Blog as our online diary as we can share what we do in our daily life and we can share about the places that we have visited to the people in the whole world. She also taught us how to make our personal Blog using the Blogger.com.my. It was just easy and took a simple step to create our personal blog as we have a Google Mail account. It was very interesting part for me to have a personal blog because before this I never have any blog. Miss Amreet told us to include three essays which are about myself, my family and my friends into our blog. She also told us to include our reflection from week to week in our blog. Besides that, we also need to write six types of essays for example, comparison and contrast, argumentative and cause and effect essays and we need to post them into our blog. We have a lot of things to do for this assignment and I have to be ready for the next coming assignments.   

 

 

Reflection Week Two

 In the second week, in the one hour class on Monday, we asked for our lecturer approval for our topic. I choose Shadow Puppetry or in Malay we call that as Wayang Kulit. From this topic I decide to tell about the history of the Shadow Puppetry and how it became as a culture in some countries from Asia to Europe. Firstly I felt nervous that she will not approved my topic but after I showed her about what I will presenting and she approved it because she said that she don’t know much about the Shadow Puppetry. I’m felt happy because I don’t have to waste my time to find another topic and I can start doing my research on this topic and I can start doing the Prezi slide for my presentation. I choose this topic because, last month when I went to an exhibition held at my home town at Kelantan, they had presented the Shadow Puppetry show to the public and I saw many people were interested to watch the show. I was there too to watch the Shadow Puppetry show. At that time, it comes to my mind that how the Wayang Kulit come to Malaysia and become a culture in Malaysia. Then I immediately choose this topic for my presentation as I want to know about that. After I’m do some research, I found that not only in Malaysia have this culture but other country also have this culture in their country such as, China, India, Turkey and French. In the two hours class on Wednesday, we have a Prezi workshop. Even though we had learned about Prezi in the last semester, but from this workshop we can refresh what we have learned and enhance our skill in making the Prezi presentation.

 

Shadow Puppetry

 

Reflection Week One

I am a Diploma In English student from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris. Now, I am in Semester four. In this semester, I am taking six courses and one of the courses is, Writing for Multimedia and Web. The instructor for this subject is Miss Amreet Kaur. In this course, she asked all of the students in my class to make a reflection from week to week about what we have learn from this subject during our 14 weeks lectures. We have three hours lectures for a week which is one hour in Monday and two hours in Wednesday.

In our first class in the first week, we were having the introducing session between the lecturer and the students. My first impression for Miss Amreet Kaur is, I thought she is a very strict and fierce person but I was wrong. She is actually a nice and friendly but with a little strict. She is also a beautiful and polite Indian woman. She said that my batch is the first batch that she is teaching in this university. Before this, she was a lecturer at Universiti Sains Malaysia. After knowing about her background for a little bit, it was our time to introduce ourselves. Each of us has introduced ourselves. Besides that, she also asking what is our expectation about this course. My assumption is I think we will learn about the internet, about the web, about the applications online and about everything that is online. For the second class in that week, because of there were too many students in our group and it cannot afford a computer lab so we needed to separate to a new group. Some of us were volunteered to move to the other group. So there were in about 30 students in a group. She also asked all of us to find a topic for our Prezi presentation in the week four. She asked all of us to prepare a topic that is informative and unique to be presented. She said that to find a topic about something that we know better or something that we want to know and want learn. At that time I was thinking what will be my topic for my Prezi presentation. After that, she showed us the instructional plan and did some briefing about that. That's all what we do on that week.  

 

 

My Friends

There is a saying that goes “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. This proverb means that true friends are those who will always be there for us and stick by us through thick and thin. I believe that every human being in this world must have friends in order to lead a happy life. In other words, nobody can survive in this world in this complex world as a hermit crab. We have all kinds of friend but good friends are the ones whom we always depend on and we cherish the happy moments we spend together. For me, yes, I do have the awesome friends.

Wan Ruhani Binti Wan Ramli and Nur Najwa Binti Ibrahim. Both of them are my best friends since at school. They are my doctor, my army, and they like my sisters to me. They are always with me through thick and thin. They always help me when I lost, they help me when I fall and they are my reminder for me to always keep the best. Both of them are really crazy and awesome friends. I really adore both of them. They are brilliant and beautiful. We always do the crazy things together and share our dirty little secrets together. They know my weaknesses and me beyond. Now, time force us to be separated. We are getting older and we have our own future and goal to archive. Now, Hani is in UITM Sri Iskandar and Wawa just finished her Matriculation and waiting to further her study in degree and me myself is in UPSI. Even though we stay apart we still contacted and meet each other during our free time. I hope this relationship will last forever and I hope all of us will have a bright future. InsyaAllah.

 

Wawa & Hani

 

After both of them, I have Hippo, my awesome friends in UPSI. Hippo is our group name. We named it as Hippo because all of us love to eat and it describe as an Hippo because Hippo is an animal that big and love to eat. They are six of us. Me, Syera, Anis, Maria, Ain and Munirah. We are taking the same course and we are classmates. They are like my second family. They are really a friend indeed. They always help me to solve my problems in UPSI, they help me in my assignments and they are always with me when I need them. All of them are very funny. They love to make jokes. They always put a smile on my face. We never quarrel with each other and we are like siblings. We understand each other and always try to be the best friends among each other. The most important thing, when I with them it cure my longing to my family. I love them very much and I hope we always remember each other and remember our good friendship until the end of the time.



Syera, Munirah, Anis, Ain, Maria, Me



 



Hippo



Last but not least, I have someone that really special to me. He is the best buddy of mine. He is my soul mate. My best buddy ever. We know each other for almost three years. Many things we share together. He knows my imperfectness and he love it. He remembers all the substantial day in my life. He cares about me. He is my shoulder to cry on. He always supports me at the back and he is like the back bone of mine. We are best friends and we are like brother and sister. He loves everything that I love and same goes with me. I can feel the chemistry between both of us. He always made my day. What can I describe about him is he is like an angel to me. I hope this relationship will last forever and will always be my best friends forever.

Finally, a good friend is a person in whom we confide our inner-most feelings and deepest secrets. Hopefully, everyone is blessed with a good friend so that the world becomes more beautiful place to live.  

“A true friend is the only person who never gets tired of  listening to your own pointless drama over and over again.”
