I learnt English a lot from cartoons and so that interest transpired into reading novels and all, and here I am today! Nice to meet you!

My favorite food is nasi lemak. Exploring nasi lemak in different restaurants can be counted as my hobbies too. My ambition is to be an inspiring lecturer. UTM has been my dream university since I was about six years old. I did STPM in Science stream before this. I joined TESL since I wanted to become like my primary school English teacher, who encouraged and inspired me to become better at the English language. Learning the English language as a second language has been quite challenging for Malaysian students. As an educator, I aim to improve their perspectives on the English language and create better understanding and love.

Izzah's favourite system

izzahs — 2024-03-17 02:49:45 UTC

I've been using a lot Grab a lot. It's like a super helpful system that helps me book rides to go places, order food and pay using Grab Wallet. It makes my life easier. I can book a ride from anywhere at any time. This convenience is especially true in Johor where public transportation is only sometimes readily available or efficient.

Camillya - Moovit

camillyahani — 2024-03-17 02:55:22 UTC

Currently, my favourite information system is 'Moovit'. Moovit provides you with the information related to public transports (like their estimated arrival time, where you can find the stations). Plus, Moovit can also assist you as you travel around, especially in Kuala Lumpur, by giving you step-by-step directions to the location you want to go. Considering that I don't have my driving license yet, the system makes it easier for me to wander around in KL and Selangor using public transport. This way, I do not have to burden anyone just to take me to the places that I want to visit.

(Ain) My favourite system (HealthifyMe)

sitinoorain1 — 2024-03-17 02:57:10 UTC

It's an application that helps me to track my calorie intake. It also tracks the amount of water that I consume each day. HealthifyMe also keeps track of my weight and helps me to reach my ideal weight goal. This system has been a big help for me as I can control the amount of calories that I consume daily. this system also allows me to know the amount of fat, protein, carbs and fiber in each food that I consume. So, this system helps me to eat more healthy foods.

Nadhirah's Favourite System

nadhirah03_ — 2024-03-17 02:57:17 UTC

The information system that I love is called My Calendar. It is an app where I can track my menstrual circle. Once you have filled the first month in the calendar (period starts/period ends), the app will provide me with my next menstrual and fertile window. It also provides me with the monthly and weekly chart of my weight and temperature. This app is important for me to keep track with my menstruation, and I can consult with the doctor if I see any irregularity.

Cristal - Google Maps!!!!!

2024-03-17 02:59:21 UTC

LOVE GOOGLE MAPS!! I'm actually a person who is pretty good with directions but ever since coming to semenanjung, which is an unfamiliar place, I use it all the time! Got lost a couple of times because I wasn't that good in navigating in the beginning but I'm like a pro now. I can go anywhere I want with no worries of getting completely utterly lost! I've also been using it to plan out my itinerary for my holidays.

note: I also like using Waze and alternate between these two applications.

Nur's

2024-03-17 02:59:24 UTC

Shopee! With Shopee, we don't get to only buy stuff but also pay our bills, order food using ShopeeFood as well as getting various of deals. Plus, Shopee also features Shopee for Student where students will receive member vouchers and can get stuff like laptop, bags, etc. (you name it) for a cheaper price but still authentic. Hence, I am grateful because we have Shopee for Shopee helps a lot in my daily life.

Favorite System - Aida

nurizzatiaida — 2024-03-17 02:59:59 UTC

I've been using the Flo App for such a long time. Flo App is a health app that provides menstruation tracking, cycle prediction and information regarding woman's health. With this app, I'm able to keep track my cycle and record various health symptoms. This app also provide personal consultation from medical professionals to discuss medical-related issues and the data entered (health symptoms, cycle) can help user to track and explain their health problems to the medical professionals. For me, this app is very useful and important in increasing awareness of certain medical conditions woman tend to get confused.

Farah's favourite system

anuarfaraa15 — 2024-03-17 03:06:56 UTC

For me, my favourite information system is AirAsia MOVE as it is really useful, especially when I am planning to go back to my hometown. By browsing flights from AirAsia MOVE, it enables me to compare the ticket's price from different airlines. In the meantime, i am able to plan for my trip ahead as i am free to choose the departing time that suits my schedule, and the one who will fetch me from the airport.

Syifaq: My favourite system (redBus)

nurasysyifaq — 2024-03-17 03:28:29 UTC

In my opinion, my favourite system of lately must be redBus. RedBus is an app where you can book for bus tickets via online so that you don't need to queue at the counter. As someone who use the bus services to commute from UTM to my hometown, redBus is such a charm. It helped in saving my time and energy a lot. I was very skeptical at first when I first used it since I'm worried if there will be any complications from buying the bus tickets online but fortunately for me, the interface of redBus is very easy to navigate whether you are a first timer or a seasoned-user.

Sangitha's Favorite System

sangithasumathi — 2024-03-17 04:36:12 UTC

Foodpanda has been my lifesaver lately. With its various food and restaurant choices and quick delivery, it's my all-time solution to avoid the hassle of cooking or leaving home with my studies and part-time job. Whether it's a busy workday or a lazy weekend, Foodpanda guarantees the convenience and reliability by providing me with my comfort food during my good and hard times. Every information and aspects available are also accurate and user-friendly. Truly, Foodpanda has become my favorite!

Khirtana- MAE

2024-03-17 05:13:01 UTC

I love using the MAE app which is an online banking app which helps me keep track of my spending and savings. Through this app I am able to also create 'tabung' for different occasions which helps me save my money more wisely. Not only that, this app is very useful because it is easier to pay and collect money from anyone that owes me. As someone who hates to keep lots of cash and changes this app has been a very useful and life changing app.

Izzati's Favorite System

izzati02_ — 2024-03-17 14:57:19 UTC

Personally, TNG eWallet is my favorite system. TNG eWallet allows me to perform various transactions such as paying bills, purchasing goods and services online and offline, also transferring using a mobile application. By using this system, I no longer need to carry any cash with me which is very convenient.

Saffea's favourite system

saffeashamsul — 2024-03-17 14:59:28 UTC

The information system that I like is Grab because it is so incredibly convenient. I can easily book a transport to my destination or place an order for delivery from my favorite restaurant with just a few taps on my smartphone. This app also save my valuable time and effort. Furthermore, I can follow my driver's or delivery rider's exact location on a map, which gives me peace of mind and makes it easier for me to manage my time. This function is useful, whether I'm waiting for a ride or tracking my food delivery.

Fitri-Steam

nurfitri02 — 2024-03-18 05:01:39 UTC

My current favorite information system would be Steam. Steam offer a vast library of games and provide detailed information about each title, including user reviews, system requirement, and gameplay videos, helping me making decision about my purchase. Based on my purchase and playtime, Steam will recommend me other games that share the same tag or genre that I may like. Additionally, Steam offers regular sale and discounts making it an affordable option for me to explore new games.

Deonne's Favourite System - Duolingo!

deonne2 — 2024-03-19 01:45:13 UTC

Recently, I've been looking to improve my Japanese language skills and wanting to solidify my linguistic knowledge starting with Hiragana. Duolingo has been a great help in maintaining a consistent brief daily practice that is helping me learn another language in a practical and comfortable environment. It also tracks my progress and always tests my language skills to make sure I actually remember what I learn. It feels more like a mini game and does not strain or make me feel pressured to stay consistent with my practice as it can take only 2 minutes to learn a little more every day.

Meera’s favourite IS

2024-03-22 12:00:35 UTC

Google Meet is my favourite information system so far, as it helps me most of the time to conduct online classes virtually with my students. As a part-time teacher, I have to make use of this particular platform to interact and communicate with my students in order to guide them in their studies and homework. Google Meet is a useful and easy space, especially for teachers to share their teaching materials without wasting any money or energy, since I can use the ‘Whiteboard’ option to write, draw, and convey daily lessons in a fun and creative way. Moreover, Google Meet is definitely a system that ensures clear, two-way communication. Sometimes, I can even mute my students who are making noise, and this helps me out a lot, especially when I find my class noisy. As a young teacher, I prefer using Google Meet, and it really lessens my burden all the time!

Suci's Favourite System

sucimardinaputri — 2024-03-23 16:04:53 UTC

One of my all time favourite information system is Canva! Canva is an easily accessible web-based graphic design platform with tonnes of templates to be used. I find it lovely and especially helpful when preparing my assignments, presentation, or even as simple as making a new wallpaper for my phone. It also has collaboration features that allow me to edit the file with my group members. Thanks to the existing templates and decorations even for a free account, Canva allows us to save time in creating visually appealing slides. All in all, Canva helps me to empower my creativity even with my low level of design expertise, unlike some software such as Adobe Photoshop.

Amal's favorite system

nurulamalina2 — 2024-03-23 23:44:32 UTC

An information system that I love is Google Docs. Google Docs allows me to create, edit, share, and collaborate on documents online. I use it to store data in the form of text, images, and other media. This and the fact that it provides tools for processing this data to produce documents makes it an extremely useful system for me as a student because I can do my assignments and share information very easily. Primarily, I use it to store notes that I would later share with friends! I have been using it since form 6 and it has proven to be greatly handy since then.

Misha's Favourite System

2024-03-26 14:49:01 UTC

One of my favourite system is Moodle. I like it because I get to access elearning easily without having any hardships. Before I know Moodle, I used to login to elearning using Chrome everytime. It's difficult to open Chrome sometimes and it also took a long duration of time. Fortunately, I found Moodle and it was an amazinggg thing to discover. I got to access elearning on my phone easily, whenever and wherever I want. Moodle is also interesting because I can receive notifications about my courses and I can see the dateline for each assignment with ease. There is also a reminder when the assignments almost due. Hence, I really love Moodle because of those benefits.

Khalif's Favourite System

ahmadkhalifhassan — 2024-04-04 16:27:04 UTC

My favourite system is Apple Health. My most favourite feature in the app is i can synchronise my sleep data from my smartband. from there, i can analyse my sleep quality and sleep pattern. i also can track my daily heartbeat and blood oxygen and Apple Health will notify me if there is an irregular pattern or abnormal data for my heart rate.
