EMAIL-part1

Today's Story

i would be very grateful if you could leave some comments and feedback after reading this post.

this is really a personal thing. but, just to share this story so that you and i could be more alert and careful in emailing to lecturers.

this is a story between me and a lecturer. let us address him as Mr NICE. as the nickname stated, he is really a nice man. he is that kind of person who easily get contented with students performance. a little act of showing that u understand what he taught in the lecture will award u a very pleasing compliment. say u explain to him what u understand n u find what he said in the class was a lil' not convincing. with ur explanation would be suffifient to make him feel proud of u. seriously! he is generous in giving compliments. its not flattery. but praising.

as i went through his lecture notes online and some learning units, i spotted a few mistakes. so, i email him. there was a time i went to see him for some queries regarding the maths concept he told me not to email him on the mistakes and errors as he wanted to let other students to spot the mistakes. and i was floating on air when he said that he can assure me in the first class next year. isnt that great? he cheered my day.

so, i stop emailing him even i knew there are errors on the slides. just could not be bothered to email him such silly mistakes anymore. plus, he told me not to. no reason for me to email him.

3days ago if im not mistaken, i got this email from Mr NICE. all first year maths students got the email. the email was a notification as such


Dear all

I know that test 2 question 3 had dx xy in the wrong order. It will be taken into account in the marking. Please accept my apologies for this.

Regards

the mistake was spotted by almost half of the students who took the test. i didnt care to email Mr NICE because of the reason above. the email i got above was about a week plus after the test that i almost forget about it. so i replied Mr NICE

finally........ you point this out. Hope that this question will not be counted for the test even some might have changed the question themselves and got the right answers.


my story will stop here for this entry. i am not sure how many feedbacks will i be getting after posting this up, but I am really looking forward to get comments about this two email. rude? impolite? or what?

the continuation of the story will be posted up in 3 days time maybe.

p/s: to Mr Alderson, if u happened to read this blog n this post, i beg for your comment. maybe you are feeling uncomfortable or annoyed by my reply to the lecturer or what so eve that u feel. please Sir!! i would appreciate it much.

KYUEM TAK BAGUS-KYUEM NO GOOD

Today's Story

mula2 nak tulis bende ni dalam email je and forward kat org2 yg berkenaan. tp, lpas pikiaq2 balik, cam x elok plak. nnt xpasal2 kene fire dari org yg xspatutnye plak. kene jaga tutur kata la katakan...-kak sha yg ckp.


so okay, lets start the topic.

bende ni berkaitan ngan bdk2 kpm la secara ringkas nye. masing2 dah termaklum bhw bilangan pelajar KYUEM yg memegang biasiswa KPM dah jatuh menjunam. mmg dah byk berkurang. terkejut beghok bile dpt taw ada 33+ je yg ada kat kyuem kesayangan orang ramai tu.

fine. yg terlintas dlm hotak aku time tu- KPM dah strict dlm pengambilan student2. thats good. xdela org asyik kutuk student2 kpm bende2 xelok la kan. KPM akan amek bdk2 yg berkualiti aje. diikutkan, aku ni mmg xlayak pon trime biasiswa ni. memalukan KPM, memalukan kerajaan, memalukan Negara je. tp alhamdulillah dpt. trime jela. so, mmg baguih la keputusan KPM utk mengetatkan syarat kelayakan pelajar utk biasiswa ni. thumbs up.

lpas tu, bile siasat punye siasat. haha.. siasat konon. sibuk punye sibuk. tanya punye tanya. rupe2nye ada faktor laen yg menyumbang pd kejatuhan bilangan pelajar KPM di KYUEM. ak xpasti sama ada faktor keketatan syarat kelayakan pengambilan pelajar PPC merupakan faktor utama atau tidak, tapi satu sebab yg aku sangat yakin n ingat sampai ari ni adalah-

KYUEM tak bagus

tu secara brief nye kpd pengenalan elaboration aku yg berjela2 pjg nye lpas ni. hrp2 xde tertokok tambah. dilihat dari segi statistik, bilangan pelajar tajaan KPM di KYUEM mmg ramai. stakat ape yg aku tahu, senior kami ada around 50++ rasenye. ni aku xpasti. batch aku, 65 rasenye. xingat. batch 11 ada 61 pelajar PPC tajaan KPM. n batch 12 ada 33++. (info dari Muizz)

xdela ak nak menyibuk pasal KPM nak anta byk atau sikit ke KYUEM. rata2 rasa musykil jela. nape tetibe turun mendadak bilangan pelajar KPM dihantar ke KYUEM. salah satu sbb nye ada seperti yg aku ckp kat title tu. KYUEM xbgus. so, komen ni hanya akan dikluarkan oleh manusia2 yg merasa kehidupan di ky la kan yakni students ie pelajar2 kpm.

KYUEM xbgus. dgr je dah terasa api tu sebelah aku. x bgus? ni kene debat.

selama 2tahun aku di ky tu, ad je org kata ky xbgus. kampung la, utan la, xde pape la. zaman batu la n mcm2 la. mula2 mmg la. ak pon byk je kutuk ky ni kampung, xdak pape. kpd kaki shopping, silalah kunjungi Grand Union utk lpaskan kempunan shopping anda. sume2 yg aku bakal bitaw ni adalah pengalaman sedikit sbyk diri aku sendiri di ky dulu la. utk org len ak xsure. so, mungkin ada yg contradict. amek la mana2 yg patut n tinggalkan ape2 yg xpatut.



KYUEM xbgus? cikgu ajar xpaham? mula2 besela. nak adapt. kalo xphm, blur, konpius, xbiase ngan ascent.
bende2 biase la tu.. nak sesuaikan diri di tempat baru yg totally british edu based. it takes time. kata nak ke UK, so dlm masa 2tahun ni la yg akan persediakan sume2 utk ke negara yg totally baru (maybe utk certain jela). dalam masa sebulan 2 bulan, akan dpt cop dgn masalah2 sume tu td inshaALLAH.



KYUEM xbgus? bahasa english masalah. xphm ape cikgu ckp.
secara jujurnya, aku pon ada masalah ni masa first2 masuk ky. cikgu aku dah la mmg ori UK. kaw kaw punyela oang putih dia. ckp laju. yang aku dgr cuma intonation je. kjp up kjp down. yg up to je yg ak dgr. yg down tu hampeh xtaw ape dia mepek. boleh bygkan intonation oang putih bile ckp? ha gitu la dia. dah la course ak maths. dpt cikgu UK yg BI dia mmg pergh... dgn masalah pendengaran ak lg. sigh... mcm mana la ak nak phm ape cikgu tu ckp kat depan. matila aku lpas ni kalo nak blajaq further maths ngan dia... *dpt teka kan sape cikgu tu?* tapi, as time goes by, kite akan terbiasa utk menyesuaikan diri dlm keadaan terdesak camtu. utk cikgu oang putih yg ajar aku tu, mmg ak xphm ape dia xplain bile tanya dia soalan. dah tanya, sama mcm xpernah tanya. bukan slalu la. tp most of the time mmg camtu. ape lg? maen angguk n yes yes yes jela. buat2 phm. *jgn blajaq yg ni. xelok* so, nak A punye pasal, kene blajaq sendiri la. ak dah la jenis malas nak bukak buku n phmkan sendiri. kene ada org explain baru ak phm btol2. tp keadaan memaksa. nak A xnak A? ha pilih. so, ak pon belek la buku n bermuka tebal tanya org2 yg ada tu aku xpernah ckp. tp nak blajaq punye pasal, A punye pasal, lantak ar. muka tebal nipis ke ak dah xheran. dpt ilmu tu penting.

lama kelamaan, praktis english ngan kawan2 membuahkan hasil.. phm la jugak sikit2 ape cikgu tu terangkan kat depan. siap boleh buat lawak lagi. padahal xtaw ape yg kami gelakkan. ntah ape yg dia gelak tu sama ke dgn ape yg aku gelak. tp tu bukan masalah nye. yg penting kami dah phm. dah boleh berinteraksi secara baek berbanding dulu asyik 'sorry', 'i beg ur pardon pls', 'come again' etc. alhamdulillah dah bertambah maju...



KYUEM xbgus? banyak sgt aktiviti, kelab n mcm. org2 memaksa kami buat keje. katanye kalo xbuat nnt ...................... kami nak blajaq. kalo xtolong depa, nnt kene kutuk blakang2 plak
blah ar.. point ni mmg xleh trime langsung! ramai2 emo kowt bile dpt taw pasal sbb ni. wahai insan2 yg mengeluarkan pendapat ni, silalah tarik balik statement di atas itu.

mmg tidak dinafikan ky ada byk aktiviti n events. hampir tiap minggu ada aktiviti or event. Evening with Houses, Health Awareness Week, Islamic Awareness Week, Malay Cultural Nights and bla bla bla. byk la lagi. kemuncak kpd segala event, induk kpd segala aktiviti- Bangsawan. time Bangsawan la time ramai yg tensi2. kakitangan mmg amat diperlukan pd waktu genting ini. dan time ni jugak la akan ada byk komplen yg mcm ak sebut di atas.

kpd yg terlibat, mmg amat besar sumbangan anda kpd house anda. kpd yg tidak ingin terlibat, fine. its ur choice. mungkin anda yg tidak mahu terlibat ini mahu fokus pd stadi. go ahead. silakan. no hal. pd masa yg sama, org2 kuat house anda mungkin akan menggunakan pelbagai cara utk trigger korg utk bantu sedikit. jahit kain dia pon depa dah puas hati. (ni ak maen hantam je. bukan fakta tapi rasa je) dan pada masa yg sama jugak, anda akan terdengar kutukan yg kurang senang didengari. well. mulut manusia. aku pon pernah jadi part of yg xnak terlibat dalam certain event. jumpe certain org tu kene fire depan2 jugak. utk teruskan idop, anggap je dia melalak or tanya khabar.buat ape nak amek kesah ttg ape org tu ckp? mulut dia yg punye. so, dia berhak mengeluarkan pendpt atau komen yg dia suka. kite sbg pendengar kene la pandai2. xkan la tu pon nak amek ati? kalo anda buat keje event atas sbb TAKUT DIKUTUK, TAKUT DIKOMEN, TAKUT DIFIRE? ha. xusah blaja la. ni kat ky utk persediakan kite ke oversea. kalo kutukan dari kawan2 atau senior tu pon dah boleh membuatkan anda rasa inferior, bukan nak menyakitkan hati sesape, tapi, pulanglah. xyah nak stay kat ky.

kutukan n kritikan dari org tu norma kehidupan. kekadang, ujian kecik2 mcm ni la yg membuatkan kite lagi tabah n menambahkan rasa dalam lembaran kehidupan. kalo life asyik penuh dgn pujian dan hepi, xrasa dull ke idop? tp, ni bukanlah bermaksud yg kene marah kene tegur setiap hari tu kene ada pd idop kite utk menambahkan lg rasa life kite. kalo camtu, darah tinggi n diabetes padahnye. sbb? terlebih rasa dlm idop. *lame!!!!*

KYUEM xbest. xbest lagi? ada sbb laen lagi? ak xtaw. ak xtaw dah ape yg yg xbest. ape yg aku tulis kat atas tu la yg aku dpt taw knp certain org kata KYUEM xbest. kalo ada sbb laen, ak nak sgt taw ape dia.

personally, i learned damn lots of thing in KYUEM. i just cant find any reasons for me to say no, its not a good place to study at. apart from it is isolated, others all are perfect! because of its isolation, it gives us a more condusive place to study at. right?

if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i will not know how to play tennis
if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i wiil know nothing about my religion
if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i will not have learnt interpersonal skills
if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i will still be as harsh as i used to be
if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i will not be having so many friends as i have today
if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i will not know how much friendship values
if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i will know nothing about UK
if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i will not be here (Leicester) today
if i hadnt been to KYUEM, i will not be Lili Tai today

big thank you to my sponsor- KPM who has made a brilliant decision. sending me to KYUEM is the right ever decision been made for me.

for those are still feeling unsatisfied, i have nothing to say about it but only one- i'm sorry for you.

p/s: nak tambah sikit. tujuan entry ditulis bukan untuk mencuci otak dan minda pembaca kalian. sebaliknye, untuk memberi peringatan. kalo rasa xpuas hati pada kolej, silalah cermin diri dahulu. mungkin masalah ada pada diri sendiri. kalo boleh, perbaiki la diri dahulu, cari mana masalah yg timbul pd diri yg menyebabkan ada kesukaran dan kemaslahatan. kalo boleh diatasi, alhamdulillah. kalo xboleh, refer pd org yg in charge. jgn tros buat kesimpulan dgn emosi sendiri. emosi atasi akal. keputusan dibuat atas dasar emosi mmg slalunye salah. diberi akal fikiran yg sihat tu, pergunakanlah secara baik.

statement atas ditulis secara indirectly agar org yg berkenaan tak terguris sgt hatinya. maklumlah. rambut sama itam, hati laen2. ni apply pd org msia la. jgn lah nak kata oang putih rambut warna mas plak. so, kpd yg memahami, bguslah. yg kurang memahami, tanya pd yg memahami. yg xphm langsung, silalah buat2 paham. hahahahaha....

RE-POST: OPEN YOUR EYES BIG BIG

Today's Story

atas sebab yang tidak diketahui, ada pihak berkuasa yang telah delete video Maher Zain yang saya postkan semalam itu. video tu dibuat oleh orang persendirian rasanye. mungkin melanggar polisi kompeni Encik Maher, God knows best

selepas browse punye browse, saya tak berjaya carik video tu jugak. so, the best i could do is to give this link and u guys click on the title below.


Look around youself
can't you see this wonders
spreading from the view
the clouds floating by
the skies are clear and blue
planets in the orbits
the moon and the sun
such perfect harmony


lets start question in ourselves
isn't this proof enough for us
or are we so blind
to push it all aside. No~~

we just have to
open our eyes, our hearts, our minds
if we just look bright to see the signs
we can't keep hiding from the truth
let it take us by surprise
take us in the best way
guide us every single day
keep us close to You
until the end of time

look inside yourself
such a perfect order
hiding in yourself
running in your veins
what about anger, love and pain?
and all the things you're feeling
can you touch them with your hands?
so are they really there
lets start question in ourselves
isn't this proof enough for us
or are we so blind
to push it all aside. No~~

we just have to
open our eyes, our hearts, our minds
if we just look bright to see the signs
we can't keep hiding from the truth
let it take us by surprise
take us in the best way
guide us every single day
keep us close to You
until the end of time

when a baby's born
So helpless and weak
And you're watching him growing
So why deny
Whats in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life..

we just have to
open our eyes, our hearts, our minds
if we just look bright to see the signs
we can't keep hiding from the truth
let it take us by surprise
take us in the best way
guide us every single day
keep us close to You
until the end of time

open our eyes, our hearts, our minds
if we just look bright to see the signs
we can't keep hiding from the truth
let it take us by surprise
take us in the best way
guide us every single day
keep us close to You
until the end of time

Allah
You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Robb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You..
الحمد الله (Alhamdulillah)

the end~~

amacam? best kan? erm... basically i found the song meaningful cos of the structure they put the song. the lyrics. very seldom to have worth-listened nasheed with such great vocal. probably cos i am choosy. yela.. ak xberhati lembut or what people known as 'alim'. so its kinda difficult for harsh and rock-hearted people like me to accept and replay nasheed daily. Maher Zains' masterpieces are exceptional, surprisingly.

look carefully at the lyrics. i divided the song into 4 parts, each seperated as it is on top.

Look around youself
can't you see this wonders
spreading from the view
the clouds floating by
the skies are clear and blue
planets in the orbits
the moon and the sun
such perfect harmony
the first part, it is encouraging us to observe our surrounding. things that we have around us. looking at the nature around us. they are all in their order. that makes it harmony as the lyrics suggest

lets start question in ourselves
isn't this proof enough for us
or are we so blind
to push it all aside. No~~

then second part- being as a thinker, with gifted wisdom, we would have questioned ourselves on those creation. not wanting more than just to realise that all these do not pop up by itself and exist as u and i can see now.


we just have to
open our eyes, our hearts, our minds
if we just look bright to see the signs
we can't keep hiding from the truth
let it take us by surprise
take us in the best way
guide us every single day
keep us close to You
until the end of time

moving on to the third part- nothing more to elaborate on cos the lyrics on this part is crystal clear. should be understood.

look inside yourself
such a perfect order
hiding in yourself
running in your veins
what about anger, love and pain?
and all the things you're feeling
can you touch them with your hands?
so are they really there

last part- observing the inner creation ie ourselves. how does our body work perfectly without complication. be grateful with the systematic and meticulous and detailed operations in our body. all the tiny cells made are the one keep us breathing now. having varieties of feelings is not unusual. thats fitrah aka human nature (in this context). we gotta take control over it, not the opposite. those feelings of anger, love and pain are intangible. we could have 'em only in our own interpretation. how one classify angry as angry, love as love and pain as pain. my angry might not necessarily be angry to you. my way of feeling love will probably be different from anybody elses'.

the part that makes me ponder most is the vein part. i didnt know that it is actually good to self-reflects, which is really practised in my family since ever, a merely typical chinese family. not to be proud of it, but it feels good.

Zain's songs are all clear cut. no round-a-bout or shortcut, all are straight-forward. we could easily get the message by listening once. he sings it word-by-word, slow and yet not sleepy type of melody, with his pleasant vocal. its simply fantastic.

"He has created man: He has imparted unto him articulate thought and speech. [At His behest] the sun and the moon run their appointed courses; the stars and the trees prostrate themselves [before Him]. And the skies has He raised high, and has devised [for all things] a measure, so that you [too, O men,] might never transgress the measure [of what is right]: weigh, therefore, [your deeds] with equity, and cut not the measure short!"

Ar-Rahman: 3-9

OPEN YOU EYES BIG BIG

Today's Story

enjoy this. its an old song of Maher Zain's. but i just found it. baru insaf la katakan...
been listening to this everyday from last week. amek la iktibar dari lagu ni..

surah Tariq, ayah : 5- so, let man ponder on what he has been created from.
(does this verse suit the song? correct me if i'm wrong)
there are more verses in the Holy Quran promote us *is that the right word?* to discover more about the universe. but i couldnt be bothered to write all of them here. haks. even by just looking at objects around us and appreciating them would be sufficient to show our gratitude towards His blessings.
hope u find the song meaningful as how i finding it so grateful.
