Ramadan (:
- The 9th month in Islam calender
- Each year Ramadan starts 11 days earlier than previous year
- Muslims have to fast in this whole month, from Fajr (before sun rises, usually before 6 a.m.) until Maghrib (about 7 p.m.)
- Usually muslims will eat before fast starts, which we called "sahur". At the end of the day, the fast is broken with meal. This is most likely to be known as "iftar" or "berbuka"
- Muslims also will usually do special prayer during night, that is "Tarawih prayer"
- Eating, drinking, smoking, and sexual relations, to name a few, are forbidden
during fast.
- In other words, we must control ourself, and do a lot of good and benefited things like recite the Quran (improves memory), do additional prayer (better form of exercise), do charity work and etc.
- Fast is quite like a diet because our stomach rest during the day, and filled with food moderately when it's time to "iftar"
- Therefore, it decreases the blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Ramadan is the time that all muslims waiting for, to strengthen our ties with Allah, make us feel more relax and peace.
- The next month is Syawal. On the 1st Syawal @ Hari Raya Aidilfitri, muslims don't have to fast anymore, it's time to celebrate after 30 days of fast.
- Gifts are exchanged. Friends and family gather to pray, for large meals and for "duit raya" :D
- That's all I think, sorry if there's any mistake, Happy Ramadan to all muslims (:

The Type of Class That I Detest
All of us want to live in luxury, can get anything that we want, go to any anywhere and do anything that we can with our money. My mom always said “Study until smart, and then you can be rich” So it’s all begin with study, go to class, sit for the exam and etc. But nowadays, to only go to class is already so hard because there’s some class that I dislike. The reasons why I detest some class are because the bad lecturer, bad timing and bad environment.
Firstly, is the lecturer. There’s some lecturer that came in the class, start to talk and explain (although we don’t understand anything) and then gave us lots of exercises. This is what we called BORING! The lecturer supposed to give us short break because our brain can’t concentrate along the class for 2 hours. When there’s short break, we can release our tension and get some fresh air. Moreover, the lecturer doesn’t have sense of humour. Humour is quite important to get students attention from daydreaming and making noise. The lecturer may tell some jokes or short stories to make us more relax in the class. Furthermore, the lecturer is always late. If the class start at 8 a.m., he or she will come at 8.15 a.m. or 8.30 a.m. If it’s because something that really important, we don’t care but how about it happens for many times? How can we don’t care anymore? It makes us feel disrespect and make us lose our mood.
Other than that is bad timing. Example like class early in the morning (8-10 a.m.) and night class (8-10 p.m.). When the class start too early, most of the students will come late because they oversleep (well, it can’t be denied that it’s the best time to sleep). Plus, when it’s too early, student didn’t manage to eat breakfast. Therefore they will come in the class with empty stomach, makes them can’t concentrate and just wasting their time in the class. Now about the night class, that also dislike by students. It’s all because in night, students usually busy with club activities and meetings. They also prefer to do revision and homework at night. Moreover, it’s also dangerous for the students to walk to the class at night especially girls and students that live far from here. In addition, students also dislike consecutive classes. There are some students that have to attend class from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. It will tired them, and probably they already lose concentration when it’s just 10 a.m. All of this really dislike by the students.
Next, is the bad environment. Of course to study well, the environment must also in well condition. But some classes have bad air-conditioners. It didn’t function well, thus make the class smells bad. It will be hard for the students to study in smelly class. But it also can’t be too cold in the morning. When this happens, students can’t concentrate because they have to warm their body and some of them will just continue to sleep. Then, some classes also have bad lighting. There are lights that will turn off for a while and there are also lights that didn’t function at all. Students will have hard time to see the slideshow, the board and even the lecturer. Furthermore, the size of the class also is one of the reasons. When the class is small but students are too many, we have to squeeze in along the class for 2 hours. It really not comfortable, makes us can’t concentrate plus if the chairs are broken.
As the conclusion, generally, students will detest the class that have bad environment, bad timing and bad lecturer. If this keep going on, it won’t be good for the university or the school, especially the students. Hope this matter will be solve to make sure the class will be comfortable enough for full of spirited students and thus increase the number of successful students in future.

How to Stay Awake During Classes?
What is class? Class is a period of time in which students are taught something. When students are being taught, they must concentrate to fully understand the subject, or at least get the point, as we can revise and ask the lecturer later. All of us that still study for sure have faced this problem that is ‘to stay awake in class ’. If we don’t pay attention in class, we won’t understand the subject, can’t do the exercises given and may also fail in exam. Therefore, as now you already know the important to stay awake in class, how to do it? Well, there are several things that you can do before, during and after the class.
First of all, before class start, make sure you are readily prepared. Do read first and go through the chapter that will be taught. It will make you easily understand the topic as you already have the idea. Next, to make sure that you wouldn’t spend more time at toilet than class, don’t eat too much before class especially oily food and fast food. Drink essence of chicken or red bull to make you stay alert throughout the class. Furthermore, to make you stay awake during class, do take a quick nap before class. You can also walk to the class rather than driving or do a simple exercise like stretching. Hence, you wouldn’t fall asleep during class.
In addition, during the class, sit in front to have clearer vision and to pay more attention. When you sit in front, you will have eye contact with the lecturer. Therefore you won’t dare to sleep or play. Also, don’t ignore what the lecturer talks. Do hear and take notes. You will get additional information and will make you concentrate in the class. Then, you can also eat some snacks like sweets, gums and biscuits because it will provide us energy and make our mouth busy (rather than sleep). Don’t forget to take short breaks and get some fresh air before continue with the class. It will less your tension.
Besides that, lives a healthy life after class. You can play healthy outdoor games like basketball, football, netball, and jogging. It can make your body feels refresh and fit, as long as you don’t over play. Moreover, do sleep early. Try to get 6-8 hours of sleep time. You can play games and chatting but have your limit. Don’t play or chat until late night. Your brain and body must have enough rest to continue the study next day. Other than that, do revise again what you have learned. Read the notes again and do some exercises. You will have better understanding for the subject and won’t get lots of trouble when the exam comes.
Finally, class is an important time to study. It’s the time to get new knowledge that is priceless. Therefore, please go to class and concentrate along the class. Steps above are some of the ways that you can practice to stay awake in class and thus may make you score in the examination. Remember, don’t make noise and play around in class because you are supposed to pay. Pay what? PAY ATTENTION! :D

My Life in MMU
My Life in MMU
Immediately after I finished my SPM examination, all I think about is relax and enjoy until I get into a University. For the past 5 months, most of the time I spent in my home, online my Myspace account (yeah I still don’t have Facebook or Twitter), Yahoo Messenger, view friends blog, looking at my old pictures (ah, memories :D) and doing the house chores for sure :D . I also took licence for both car and motorcycle, spent time with my friends, came to school to help my teachers (can’t get away from that school :-p), playing football almost every evening at the field and went to primary and secondary school’s reunion (we’re getting “matured” from every single thing, if you know what I mean :-p). Then I got my SPM result, and I start to think what next? After a long discussion with my family members, thoughts of my teachers, and opinions from people around me from the day I got my SPM result until end of May, finally, I decided to take Foundation in Management at Melaka Campus of MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY :D.
It’s 30th of May. With all the stuff packed in the car + 8 people (including my family members, grandpa, grandma and my cousin), I said goodbye to my lovely home, and also to my cat (chicky, cheeky or ciki also can). From Setapak, Kuala Lumpur to Bukit Beruang, Melaka it took about 1 hour and 30 minutes(depends on what’s the car and who’s the driver). We took a quick rest at R&R Ayer Keroh because my little brother and sister were hungry. After half an hour there, we continued our journey to MMU Melaka. It already started to pack with cars as soon as we arrived at IPK Melaka where we’re just 5 minutes from MMU. As soon as my father’s car entered MMU gate, I’m getting nervous because there were many people around. I didn’t believe that I’m going to University. The feeling is just like the first time I step into primary school back ago. While my parents look out for a spot to park the car, I went to CLC Concourse to registered myself. After wait for a while at CLC, I was asked to go to Main Hall to continue my registration process. After an hour doing the registration process, I already become MMU student officially! :D Then I went to Ixora Apartment to registered for my accommodation. After packing my stuff in my room, my parents brought me to Melaka Megamall a.k.a Dataran Pahlawan to have our lunch. I also looked for things that I don’t have yet.
At 3.30 pm, I went back to the campus because we need to gathered at the President Square for a short briefing during Orientation Week. Then at 6.00 pm, we were allowed to go back. Then, I told my parents that my program for the day already finish. After that, we went for dinner. At 10 pm, my family went back to KL. Then I spent the rest of the night chatting with my new housemates. The next morning, we went to President Square at 7 am. After reciting prayers, sang MMU and Negaraku song, we had our breakfast at CLC according to group respectively.I’m in the yellow group (Hellow Yellow! :D) Then, we went to Main Hall for opening ceremony of Orientation Programme. After finished the opening ceremony, The Orientation Week officially begin. From Monday to Friday, we had a lot of briefings about MMU, the students, facilities, courses, buildings, and also we got a lot of new friends + free meals along the orientation week! :D On the Thursday night, we had the Cultural Night which was totally awesome! During the night, we got to see performances from the OC (orientation committee a.k.a facilitators) , the students from each Yellow, Blue, Red and Green team and also the cheers (the craziest moment) from us. Lastly we sang the “Here In My Home” song (that’s the title, if I not mistaken) and together, most of us hangout at a stall until early in the morning. On Friday morning, we registered for our course and subjects, to start our lesson beginning next week. :D
Well basically, based on our course and group, we have our own schedule. I have classes from Monday until Friday, mostly at 8a.m until 12p.m except Monday (just a class at 3p.m) We have to check the announcements from our lectures on the bulletin board, download the notes, tutorials, assignments and do the online quiz (yeah everything is on the line here :-p). Currently I’m just following the flow that is when it’s time for class, I go to class, when it’s time to eat, I eat, when it’s time to do assignments, I also do it. For this trimester, I took Accounting, Business Mathematics, Economics and English ( which is the main reason why I wrote this essay, hyper easy :-p). Our free time can be filled by having meal (this time we have to pay) at Plaza Siswa or the cafeteria besides Exam Hall, go to the library (you can use the computer freely or reading the newspaper etc.), watch a movie at Melaka Mall or Dataran Pahlawan or Mahkota Parade and even shopping at Mydin or Jusco Bukit Beruang. We usually went to Melaka Town by bus because it’s easier and cheaper. Besides Plaza Siswa, we can also eat variety of foods at Ixora Foodcourt, Abraar, MMU Corner, RSU, Kenang Selalu, D’Puteh, “Kuning” stall, Dima and Tash-Ma-Tash ( I really don’t know how we couldn’t eat here except when we have empty pocket). Frankly speaking, everything’s here in Melaka, we just have to use all this great things wisely (we’re here to study remember?)
For me, and for now, it’s great to be here in MMU Melaka (I wonder how’s Cyberjaya campus? :-p). University life is really different from high school. Here we have to do everything by our own, we have more freedom and more chances to involve in things that we like. But bear in mind guys, like I said before, the main objective, we’re here to study remember? Carefully limit our freedom, think twice or more when to do something, be friends with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and characters because it can help you broadens your mind and getting a lot of new experiences. Currently I’m trying to cope with this situation, getting used to it and hope all of us can survive in MMU. Do make beautiful memories here :D That’s all for now, sorry for all the mistakes in this essay on this blog (well, it’s my first time) and out! I’m sleepy! :D
