Asasi TESL #2

Assalamualaikum...

aihh lama jugak tak update after Asasi TESL #1 hari tu kan. manjang je malasnya, time rajin nak update ada buah nak mengisi, ada pulak kerja nak kena buat. so, sampai hari ni tergendala haa. 

okay, now let's get started.

sem 2 sebenarnya takde beza sangat pun. tukar classmates baru, ada a few lecturers baru, and belajar subjek baru.

subjek sem 2:

• CTU II
• Writing II
• Listening & Speaking II
• Grammar II
• Reading II
• Introductory Literature
• Basic Principles in Education
• Language & Drama
• total credit hours; 26

sem 2, i just have my 2 former classmates from 1E, and fortunately both are girls (we got 3 boys je pun). bila dapat tahu kena streaming kelas, dah agak mesti classmates pun tukar sekali, so iRedha. at first memang laa, susah nak rapat sbb masing-masing got their own konco-konco kan, bila buat assignments in group pun, tak campur dgn org lain. well, that's normal though. once we're used to work with the same person, jadilah mcm tu.

(the one in grey; Lola. kenal time MDS, masuk sem 2 jadi classmates. those two in black shawl; Ed & Yuz-- former classmates.)

so, how do we get close to each other? through drama competition. at first, kitorang takde pun plan like, "okay everyone must take part in this competition bla bla" sbb lecturer informed kitorang, not all of us will take part. but then, tukar plan, semua kena join sbb melibatkan banyak benda; props, costumes, scripts, PA system, director co-, etc etc. so okaylah, semua in-charged. this competition was held 2 weeks after CNY, so on Feb right? haa in that 2 weeks time tu laa we've become close bcs there were so many things that we have to settle down within that period.

2A, biasalah, kita sendiri yg insecure dgn budak kelas depan even dorang maybe tak rasa apa pun bila nampak kitorang. maybe okay, maybe. before bertanding, Miss Afifa ada pesan yg dia kalau boleh nak tengok kitorang perform kat DTS (Dewan Taming Sari) during Literature Night #spillinknotblood.. kitorang ni actually serba salah sbb kalau boleh nak habis kat Dewan Syahbandar je, tapi apakan daya, dah rezeki Allah nak bagi, we got top 3 and managed to perform during that night. wah, time tu rasa mcm puas hati gila but at the same time risau sbb nak kena buat, tambah props baru.

-- night practice, road to success (gittew haha) --

-- first performance @ Dewan Syahbandar --

2A paling lambat perform, plan awal nak habiskan before solat jumaat, tapi sbb ada a few classes yg perform over the time limit, so terpaksalah sambung lepas solat jumaat. kitorang mesti laa risau takut ramai tak datang sbb semua dah penat kot, dari pagi tercongok kat situ, kena pulak 2A je yg perform petang tu, memang tak expect ramai yg akan datang but Alhamdulillah, ramai.. and surprisingly, the crowds loves our performance so much! they even stand up and gave us a big round of applause once we finished our performance. and the lecturers praised our performance and our costumes too haha

-- crew backstage at DTS --

a week after, we performed at Dewan Taming Sari. only 3 classes were selected; 2A, 2C and 2G. Alhamdulillah, malam tu ada 2 batch seniors yg datang and support as this was the very first event that being held by our faculty, and they are proud with us bcs we're managed to handle the big event. 

besides drama performances, we also have poetry slam by TESL students. although we cant gather many Lendurians as there were also other events being held by other faculties on that night, but the event was a huge success among us. 

and once again, 2A got the first place for the drama competition, and our main actor, Russell, got the best main actor award. Alhamdulillah wuhuu

all in all, tu jelah yg aku mampu recap sikit sebanyak utk sem 2. TESL sumpah aku cakap, memang bukan senang. nampak senang sbb basic english, tapi siapa yg pernah join TESL family, kami je yg tau susah senang dia tahap petala apa. asasi ni kau bayangkan dia punya tough mcm kau budak degree. all the hardworks will never be paid off if you take this course for granted! 

jangan pernah rasa selesa bila dah ada kat atas sbb semua tu kejap je, Allah akan tarik balik. haa lepas tu menangislah kau air mata darah sekalipun kalau tak dapat IV, MEDSI, and tak lepas min requirement UPU. 

dengan CGPA 2.91 and MUET band 3 mcm aku ni, jangan mimpi nak senang-senang masuk degree english course. UNISZA yg cikai tu pun nak MUET band 4 tau dak kalau nak masuk fakulti bahasa! tapi... kalau rasa family tu kaya sangat, 7 keturunan harta tak habis makan, then go apply for IPTS by self sponsored.

sekian dari aku, yg mereput kat rumah, tengah tunggu degree tapi tak dapat. mampu positifkan diri je ni haa (positive vibes... come to mama! *gittew*)... anyway, good luck gaiss! 

P/S; adik-adik yg dapat masuk Dengkil tu, jangan sia-siakan peluang & kesenangan yg ada sbb senior korang ni semua dah cukup penat nak survive dlm keadaan dianaktirikan ;)

Asasi TESL Journey #1

Bismillah.. Assalamualaikum

how to start? i dont even know actually. nak bagi lagi jelas dan nyata, i wanna talk bout my #1 journey in UiTM Lendu, Melaka. i studied there as a Asasi TESL student, under KPM. i was there for 2 semesters ONLY, tak sampai setahun pun! daftar on 1st June 2014, and i ended on 5th April 2015. just for 10 months and i admit that, sekejap je. macam lama, tapi tak pun.

during the 4th week of studying = sebulan, memang penat sangat (ke?) and memang rasa "aduhh cepatlah habis asasi ni" sambil nangis sbb culture shock. belajar memang laju, and masa tu tak rapat sangat lagi dgn classmates, so susah sikit laa nak adapt. lagipun dulu bukannya study dekat SBP ke MRSM ke, sekolah kampung biasa je. so tak biasa sangat laa belajar laju ni. ohh yaa, TESL programme ada 7 classes, and i was in E for the 1st sem, and A for the 2nd sem. at first, we dont have a streaming method but during our 2nd sem, they decided to stream us according to our GPA. kuciwa jugaklah kena tukar kelas kan sbb kena berpisah sobs. 

--- hm jangan ingat 2nd sem masuk kelas A sbb pointer tinggi hokkey, actually kelas A tu untuk repeaters and GPA under 2.85 something *mohon jangan gelak sbb aku tak pandai but i'm not a repeater, Alhamdulillah*

okay, those are the subjects that you will learn for the first semester:

• CTU; which is Agama
• Malaysian Studies; which is History
• College Writing I
• Listening & Speaking I
• College Reading I
• Grammar I
• College Study Skills
• Computer Literacy
• Total credit hours; 24

THESE ARE MY CLASSMATES; MPI0201E

MPI0201E; start rapat dgn semua after raya sbb masa tu, kitorang ada laa buat #1Erayaselfiecontest, saja buat suka suka and sape yg menang dapat duit, sponsored by our Kak Long aka Afiqah aka Mummy hehe. terlalu banyak kenangan suka duka nak diingat. since from the beginning sampailah habis asasi (bukan habis 1st sem), macam macam benda jadi sampai dah taktau nak describe macam mana. but, despites all those things, we're still together and still support each other. 1E lah kelas yg paling aku sayang, yg paling aku ngam. makan sama sama tak pernah miss even kekadang tak cukup korum (girls only). susah nak lupakan dorang sbb dorang 1st family kat Lendu. masa 1st sem, memang takde campur dgn kelas lain, and kitorang memang tak kenal budak kelas lain (ada lah a few, but that was a very small amount kalau nak dibanding dgn 2nd sem muahahaha).

class rep 1E; Farhan, terkenal dgn #neverprocrastinate. sape pernah 1 group dgn dia tau lah stress dia macam mana, tapi best sbb dia ni laju buat kerja. kita baru nak terhegeh hegeh cari point utk assignment, dia dah siap! aku pernah ada group presentation dgn si Paan ni, presentation CTU, orang lain a few days before baru start, group aku a week before dah start. bapak stress, dah lah masa tu bulan puasa, and presentation kitorang end up nya lama gila present sampai habis masa 1h30min hah! tu jelah slack sikit, yg lain okay je si Paan ni. takde masalah pun.

(paling kanan: Paan #neverprocrastinate)

ass. class rep; Yemma aka Emma. hm ni sep Ganu ni haha. Emma... hm okay je, best kawan dgn dia sbb dia ni spontaneous. cakap main lepas je. buat lawak pun muka memang selamba gila! 

my very first close friend is Qibah. Qibah ni orang Kuantan, but from the way she talks, the dialect that she used is just the same like how we, Ganu people talk in our everyday life. confused jugak laa mula mula kann, pastu masa ice breaking baru tau yg dia ni orang Kuantan instead of Ganu kehkeh. rapat dgn Qibah sbb start dari first day kelas duduk meja sebelah aka tablemate. and sbb Qibah jugak lah aku rapat dgn orang lain. well, im not that type of person yg senang nak rapat, yg akan jadi first nak approach orang lain, thats exactly not me. sbb apa? sbb aku ni jenis yg cepat insecure and awkward, dan awkward tu akan ambik masa yg saaaaaaaaangat lama nak hilang, unless aku rasa aku boleh ngam, then okay. tbh laa ek, Qibah ni jenis yg suka sangat perli aku especially bila aku cakap pasal gosip or talked bout any celebrities mcm aku kenal dorang lama, but... aku okay je. Alhamdulillah. manusia semua tak sama kan, tak semua boleh terima kita, boleh masuk dgn perangai kita, but at least we do have some than nothing, right?

(muka zaman part 1 *uhuks*)

the most loving person; Kak Long! ni lah kesayangan aku. apa masalah aku, dia lah yg first aku cari. dia jugak lah yg settle kan masalah aku, tolong aku apa yg patut. paling pemurah! and the most important thing is, dia orang last yg stay dgn aku kat Lendu lepas habis asasi. tak plan, but our parents decided to fetch us home on the same day on the weekend instead of weekdays. so, mereput lah kejap kat Lendu tu seminggu. 

(Kak Long si flawless, cukup omega 3 haha)

during my 1st sem, i was a lil bit lost. macam apa yg aku cakap tadi, aku macam culture shock sikit masa awal awal. duduk kolej pun tak dapat roommates TESL. sampai masa nak final exam, aku study sensorang sbb roommate lain start final lambat. dorang rilek, aku pun rilek, assignment ke mana test ke mana, berjalan je tiap minggu. tapi aku tak salahkan dorang pun sbb ni aku sendiri yg pilih, bukan dorang yg pengaruh (aku memang senang terpengaruh dgn benda melalaikan pun actually). bongok betul bila ingat balik haha. no wonder lah GPA teruk hahaha. actually, TESL ni belajar benda yg sama je dgn apa yg kita dah belajar before this, cuma ada penambahan sikit yg lebih details, yg buat kita jadi pening kepala. kalau orang yg slow learner macam aku ni, lambat tangkap habis lah jawabnya. sebab tu GPA masa 1st sem teruk, sampai terperuk masuk kelas paling depan kah!

so, to the juniors yg bakal bergelar pelajar asasi TESL, please jangan main main berangan ke apa. korang lost sikit je, nahas lah korang. bukan nak takutkan, just ingatan mesra. oh before that, TESL family ni family paling kecik dekat Lendu. batch 14/15 ada 160 orang je kot, if i'm not mistaken. so, jangan terasa kecik hati ke apa lah kalau ada yg tak sedar akan kewujudan korang kat sana, or maybe kalau korang buat event, ada yg tak datang sbb dorang tak aware dgn event fakulti TESL. one thing to brag about, once orang tahu kita budak TESL, they will feel insecure sbb orang akan fikir English kita hebat even though some of us are not that good, but... it will be really good if you have one small group among TESLians yg speak in English fluently even depan orang ramai. pedulikan apa orang nak cakap, but frankly speaking, dorang actually proud sbb kita boleh speaking without any doubt di khalayak ramai. that's all.

XOXO,
Anis.

P/S; korang punya elaun rm1960/sem tau? 

Fresh new start.

Bismillah.. Assalamualaikum.

27 April - I've decided by myself to start a fresh new start. The old page, with new id, new post(s) and in shaa Allah, I'll try my best to share some tips to all juniors regarding Asasi TESL programme. Yes, that's the only focus for now as I am so boring to be at home without doing anything. I feel so lifeless, and useless (just a lil bit haha). Maybe I will also share my baking routine (basic baking actually bcs I am not that good to act like a pro). Hm in shaa Allah, soon! 

XOXO,
Anis.
