subjects this semester

First, the subject is English for Academic Purposes (BEL 311). Our lecturer is Mr. Izuan. This semester I create something different. I try loving to read English material such as readers digest and English novel. Furthermore often speak English with my friend at collage. I also buy English grammar and vocabulary to improve my English. I also love to hear English song, and then it will find the meaning of it. Then, I used to speak with my friend. I try to speak English with them, than it will make I speak not very well but okay lah!!!!

Second, the subject is Macroeconomics (ECO 211). I have already studied for this subject. It is quite hard because macroeconomics is about theory and calculation. I need to remember and understand all the formula. If not, I could not perform well. I already know who Mr Azim Sardan is. He is nice and sometimes makes us feel comfortable to attend her class. Hope that I will achieve my goals on this subject.

Third is Algebra (MAT263). This subject is really fun to learn. I never get bored towards this subject. It is really amazing! I already know who Miss Nurul Zulaiha Saudak is. She still nice with our class and help us to understand clearly on this subject. The assessments still move on and I hope I will get A for this subject.

Fourth, the subject is Calculus 1 (MAT149). Our lecturer is Miss Syaidatul Syaida. This subject is really tough. No wonder this subject brings 4 credit hours. From my view, many of us can perform well in the class. I must perform better in the final examination. Hopefully, I will get A for this subject.

Fifth is Probability and Statistics (QMT 200). Our lecturer is Professor Madya Ruhana. She still nice and treat us like her children. Always give us advice in our daily lives. She always calm if we do not understand about something. Sometimes, she also very kind to buy us junk food. I hope to get A for this subject.

Last is Operations Management (QMT337). Our lecturer is Madam Nosiah. This subject is easy to understand. It is the requirement to do presentation as our assessment. The presentation brings 50 percent marks.

making a career plan


To succeed you need to take control, grad the driver’s seat and go in the direction you desire. Driving off- course could translate to years of misery, stagnation and unrecoverable lost ground. As such, a well laid plan is crucial to help accomplish your goals.

3 steps: a winning career plan.

1.Know yourself.
Your career choice is one of those defining actions whose outcome largely depends on self-knowledge. Yet it’s incredible how people can drift along in occupations they hate or freeze their potentials because they aren’t bothered to find out what they really want to do. In fact poor self-awareness is a major reason for graduates who have jobs far from their major, change careers midstream. To discover what makes you tick, ask yourself; “who am I?”, “what am I good at? “And “what matters to me the most?”.

2.Study career.
You can interview persons in fields you about their typical workday. These informational interviews can open your eyes to the realities of certain professions. Graduates can take advantage of their institute counseling services, internship programs, institute-sponsored seminars and conferences on careers. Narrow your option and make a selection once you’ve got the necessary information.

3.Make a decision.
If you decided to change careers, consider taking part=time or volunteer work to see if the new professional or activity clubs to soak in the atmosphere and meet people who could get you a head start by giving you tips, referrals and guidance.

Testing waters with your toes help you gain experience without committing too much of your time and effort. If your new career choice fails to meet your expectations, you can try other options until you dream job. A career plan is a continuous activity that changes as you mature over the years. Your plan has to be flexible and adaptable as you find new oppoertunities.
