My stunning padlet by AZLEEN ARRYSHA BINTI KYAIRULL ADZMAN

In this year , it will be a tough year for everyone including student because of covid-19 cases that happen over the world . On 18 March until 31 March the government of Malaysia had to announce the first lockout which means you can go out only to buy basic needs . I as student are very confused what to do because at that time , the situation are very rushing . Then , I decide to go back home because my parents told to . A few days , I got circular from UITM, at first they decided to make a new calendar academic which the date of the final exam will be delayed to other day . Day by day , the Covid-19 cases going increase . So , UITM and the other university decide to make ODL ( online distance learning ) which we does not have final exam they change it to final assessment . For me , doing like this is not easy , because it is hard to learning without lecturer in front . It also hard for those people who cant access an internet to do online learning and for those people who does not have facilities such as laptop . On the first day of online learning we are very confuse because new on using some application and use too many application on this online learning .It also , make we easy to delay the work that given because sometime I forgot what work that I did not do yet . But , the benefit of ODL is we can learn something new about some application that we never use before . In this situation , I miss want to go to class like always , I also miss my friends and lecturer .

There is been two weeks of ODL . As student , even it is difficult doing like this , I know the lecturer also understands what we’re going through . I also understands , as lecturer this things is not easy too . Lecturer need to find many solution that student can attend their classes easily . Because they know , many students cannot access an internet , some of the student using data , some of them their places maybe does not have line . Actually lecturer is more to think than students . Lecturer also need to think how they want to give us some quiz , test and also assignment . On this two weeks , sometimes I need to study by myself to understand more about economics and account subject . For me , this subject is not easy without doing more exercise . So , what I need to do is , I learn that subject in youtube or search in google to have more details . Other than that , doing this journal also not easy because I am not the one who loves to read book so it's difficult for me to write something especially English . When lecturer give me this assignment i’m a bit stress what to do , how to do , what I want to write . But , I know this is my homework and whatever that I think I must to do it too . For economics , we learn another chapter which is , Theory of Consumer Behavior . Its about utility , income , curve , for now i still don’t get about what I heard from lecturer but I will study until I understand . Mandarin also , we learn another chapter which is Qu Chifan ( go to eat ) but we have some problem that time using google meet because line loshi is not in good condition is not only lecturer but a few students too . At that time , it's raining day that’s why many of them have problem on internet . It’s more difficult when I did not bring any of my books . So my reference is not too much . I rather using my books than search in google to get some idea or too study . Because using book is much easier and I get too understand more .

In this week 3 , the assignment is getting more . On Sunday there is no class because of public holiday of Ramadhan that start on Friday (24 April 2020) . So, for this week there only four days of classes . Using many app for this ODL is still not easy for me because sometimes there is internet problem so want to search or find more reference for that subject is difficult .But , I learn so many things and I just found out that there is more application on study and can use it if lecturer doesn’t want to make a class . Lecturer can use that application to do the class if the lecturer are sick or they have no time to do the class . So , we as student doesn’t miss any class because of lecturer’s schedule . For this week , I have two quiz on Thursday which is Elc and Eco . It’s fun for me because for the first time using application to answer the quiz . But , even answer the question using app there are still have time that we need to submit . Only lecturer can see what time we submit , if over the time given lecturer can decide to accept it or not . For those who cannot submit in time lecturer waiting for them to text lecturer what their problem that they face . With this , lecturer can decide and help what to do when there is problem that cannot handle . For Ctu , we got new assignment which is this assignment is for our test 1 . Then , for Mgt we get an assignment that we need to do in group . Mgt assignment is quite difficult to do because we don’t know what the title that given related to what we learn from lecturer . Maybe , I need to understand the title properly so that from that I know what its need and what we need to do . For mandarin , laoshi give us activity in exercise book for us to do and submit and there also have other assignment I think because madam asks us to choose our group and fill in the form . Then for transport subject , this week I’ve been late to attend the class in google meet because I’m focus on doing mandarin exercise . When I join the class lecturer call my name to answer the question because I’m late . It’s a bit shame for me . So, from that I decide to not being late join the class .

Week 4 is not to hectic because only 3 days we have full classes . Sunday and Thursday is public holiday so the tasks that been given is not too much only the assignment that we need to do . Week 4 for ODL so far so good because I haven’t been bored yet to stay at home . I’m the one who cannot go out on my own so stay or being like this are common for me . But I really miss want to go to class and meet my friends to share story , to eat with them in MSSM , to have a silly jokes . I thought this year I can have a moment to fast with friends and do solat terawih together . I also want to know how it’s feel to fasting without family , and I want to know how I survive to do all alone in Ramadhan .But , maybe that’s not my sustenance to feel that vibes .Alhamdulillah for this year of Ramadhan Allah give us a chance to fasting an iftar with our family . Okay back to my ODL , for this week event hough it is no to hectic but the assignment that we need to do is too many . So , the two days of public holiday I do the assignment .For Monday , I’ve got three classes from 10 a.m.until 4 p.m. , for account we just have discussion about topic 2 that we don’t know because later we have quiz and test . For elc , sir give us a tasks in Microsoft excel and need to submit within class time fortunately , the tasks that been given is not to difficult . Eco we have classes on google meet .For eco , I need to focus on what lecturer teach during the class time and need to do the exercise to get more understand because I does not have basic so what I need to do is study harder but in smart way . In Tuesday , I have 2 classes which is ctu and tmc . Ctu ,is always have work that need to do maybe for carrymark that’s why ustazah always give us tasks to submit . Then , for Mandarin that day we have classes using google meet because laoshi want to teach the new topic . But ,like always many of them have internet problem . On Wednesday , we have transport’s quiz , we also got exercise for mandarin , have eco classes on whatsapp and management through google meet because madam need to tell soething about resume assignment . What we know on Thursday , we does not have class but out of the blue I’ve got notification that we’ve got a tasks to do on 10 a.m. and need to submit before 4 p.m. . The tasks that we get , we need to do a video about ourself and we need to tell 4 truth and 2 lies in that video . It’s quite fun and thanks to you , sir because by doing that I can wear something pretty eventhough just to make a video .

For this week 5 , I’m a little bit stress because too many work and too many assignment that we need to do . But , it is okay as long as I’m a student I need to go through all these things . Being a student is easy because we just do what lecturer ask to do and to submit . Lecturer have prepared everything , it is not easy and actually it is hard because they are many work to do . To give us the best , to think about quiz and test , to do something at home . So, for student we need to appreciate . How ? attend their class , submit the work given. My goal this week I want to finish ctu assignment , because I don’t want to delay the work . Later , the work or the assignment getting more . We also got new assignment which is transport subject .For tmc , we’ve done all the chapter in the book so now we just need to do role play I think each group have 3-5 person . My group have 5 person so easy for us to do the skrip each of us need to take one chapter . because the chapter that laoshi ask us to do is chapter 1 until 5 . Management this week , madam just ask us highlight what is wrong in the application letter that madam given and submit in whatsApp . It easy but at the same time we need to check carefully because sometimes we overlooked . We also got account quiz on Thursday but some of the question doesn’t have an answer . Then for eco , this week we learn new chapter which is theory of firm and market structure . It’s not to difficult if i focus on online learning when the lecturer give lecture using google meet . I must to focus and then when class is finish do the exercise until I’m more understand . So, whatever we do , whatever we faced just think there more people does not get a chance like us . This is what I always think when I want to give up .

During this week , it is our last Ramadhan . So , we will on our holiday for 10 days because celebrate our raya . But , on this week there is not too much homework that we need to do but we have many assignment that we need to submit on june . This week also a little bit busy for preparation for Hari Raya . We need to clean our house , change all the curtain , bed sheets ,wash the toilet and others that’s we always do when to celebrate Hari Raya. For management on this week we just need to submit our resume but its just called pre-submit that means the lecturer just want to check our work either it is same as lecturer want or not . By doing that we know where our mistake that we do so we can make it correct . For transport we learn a new chapter . So on our first class lecturer just send the video to us using google classroom for we learn it first and he will continue lecture on the second class . On that class we can ask whatever that we don’t know so from that we can be more understand about that chapter . We also have test for account on Tuesday , It's going well and Alhamdulillah I can answer it all . Second class of account the lecture just give us a lecture note for chapter 4 . For elc , we have online classes on Monday using Microsoft teams . Sir Irfan want to explain about speaking test that we will do on week 11 . On Thursday , we have PRL that we need to answer the question based on what text that we choose . Eco is a quite difficult for me because there is so much that we need to understand especially when doing the graph . On this week , we also have test for eco on Wednesday . The test is went well but it’s a little bit confusing to answer some questions . For Mandarin , we have quiz on that two classes . Went doing that quiz I have internet problem so I didn’t get to finish the question but I personally let the lecturer know why I cannot get a good mark . So , lecturer reset my quiz for me to do it back . Then , on Thursday I realize that elc have another assignment which is speaking practice that we need to do and the due date is Friday,luck we have settle our work before the due date but just have problems on submit the video .

In week 10 of classes only one day we have class which is in Thursday because of holiday for hari raya . During raya for this year , it is so different from before because of COVID-19 . Its not like always we can get together with the whole family . But , this raya I just stayed at home at day one because my mother cooked nasi impit , beef rendang and red chicken . Even though , this raya we just stay at home but with dishes like that we still have that feel of raya . We also just use the past year of baju kurung because we really never think of celebrate raya this year so the preparation is not too much , just a little . First day of raya we waited for my uncle and untie to come because our home is not too far . I also get duit raya from them and my parents . But , whatever it is I just feel grateful that I can celebrate this raya with my parents and siblings . But , raya day two my father,s uncle ask us to go to their house and we got to meet them after a long time even though we stayed in the same state . Its felt honoured to meet them because they always help my father in everything . For this week , there is not much that I do because of too many assignment that need to be settled and the due date in june . On Thursday , there only classes which is account and elc . For account , the class only using google classroom which is lecturer just post a video for chapter 4 that we need to learn another part . And for elc , sir give a task a week before the class that we need to do and submit before the first class of week 10 . Which is in that video we need to tell about our preparation , celebration, activities and dishes that we made for hari raya But , I does not have any video for our preparation so in that video I just story what I do to prepare it and celebrate it .

Week 11 of classes , we have start our class like always . On that week , we handed all the first assignment that we get from the lecturer . For me , it is quite fun to do the assignment but it is a bit stress because so much thing to do alone . I know we need to practice to do all by our self because we studied in UITM which means we must know in everything we do . Its to improve our study skill and from that too I learn how to do the report , letter application , resume and others . In that week for mgt class we just need to submit the application letter and resume that lecturer ask us to re-do because of many lack on the grammar and the format of doing that letter and also the resume . For Tpt , like always sir give a video lecture for us to see and if anything that we don’t know or not understand can ask him at the google meet for next class . And the next class also , sir give us another assignment that we need to do and that assignment we need to complete it in one week . Assignment that we get is relate from the first assignment . We need to draw the solution for the topics that we get . Acc class we just need to see the video in google classroom for the solution exercise for chapter 4 and we need to study because another week we have individual assignment for two hours and we have quiz on the same week . For elc , sir just give us speaking practice . Which we need to search the link that have been given and need to see the video on youtube for mute test for candidate c and d . After we watch that two video we need to fill all the question to make a comparison . And lastly we need to choose the candidate who has better explanation . For Eco , lecturer just give us assignment that we need to do . For mandarin we have listening test and we need to do based on the hour that been given .

On this week we have two test and need to submit tpt assignment . That two test is elc and tmc . Actually for elc , my speaking test on Monday but I have to do a clearance in college and sir change the date to Thursday , it’s a bit nervous because not have much time to do that . For mandarin , I have writing test . But this test , we just choose the answer based on what the passage given . For elc too sir give us reading practice that we need to do and the due date of on 18 june . For eco classes in Monday we have google meet because lecturer want to explain another topics to us . But , on that time I attend the class for only a few minutes because I need to go to UITM . In Tuesday , for ctu class we just need to complete the tasks that been given at google classroom and mandarin , madam just ask us to complete the role play assignment . For transport , this week sir ask do we want to complete the assignment that need to submit on 18 June or google meet with sir to learn new chapter . We choose to complete the assignment to get it complete as soon as possible before the due . Management , we need to submit the report and video presentation base on the due given . And lastly , I’m a bit disappointed , actually not a bit but too disappointed with my speaking test . I don’t know what I think that day and why I’m like that . I’m frustrated on myself because I can do better than that but what I’ve done . I’m really disappointed with myself . I really want to do it back but its okay I will do my best on another test .

There only few weeks to finished this semester . Act , I’m not too excited because when pass to the semester 3 its same , we need to study and to do work only at home . It’s a bit tired but its okay as long I pass this semester with flying colour , Insya Allah . For this week , In Monday , we have account class . During that class , we need to do assignment individual hand written within two hours and submit the assignment in Google classroom . For me , this assignment that madam ask us to do same like test . Because there only given two hours to finished the work . We need to do homework given by lecturer in Microsoft teams . There have two homework we need to do which is listening practice and reading practice . Reason why lecturer give us to do that , to improve our skills to answer the question . And for eco , we does not have any classes because madam have done teaching all the chapter in the book . We just proceed with the assignment given that need to submit on 2 July . The next day , we have ctu class . In that class , Ustazah give us the last assignment on this semester . We need to do a video on 10 new facts that we know in CTU151 . And that’s only we need to do because Ustazah have meeting . For TPT , we got 2 assignment which for assignment 3 we need to combine assignment 1 and assignment 2 in one slide . And the last assignment , we nee to make a video presentation based on slide that we combine before . And for the last day of class this week , we only have elc class . During this class , we have meeting on Microsoft teams . Actually , I’m really do not know that day we have listening test . A bit shocked , but it’s my fault that did not take a note for important date . But , Alhamdulillah everything went well for this test and I learn new things to answer the listening test like that . I wish I can do better on reading test soon .

This week , I have to many things to do such as video presentation , assignment , test , quiz and others . Because this month of July , the due of submission is getting near . Its also my first time doing this journal . A bit tough at first because I’m the one who doesn’t love to read and its hard for me to story and to type a good story . But , after this insya Allah I will polish my essay writing and can used a different word from what usually I use . Now , this COVID-19 pandemic starting to get better and its start to be like normal back . We in phase PKPP , in this phase we can go out like always but need to follow the SOP . Actually , this SOP is so troublesome especially when I go to the shopping mall and want to enter the store such as PADINI , H&M . I need to scan the barcode to enter that store . One day , when I want to enter the store I does not have data and sometime my battery is not too much . There is the disadvantages when using the barcode to enter the store . But there also have paper and pen for people who have that problem . So , we just need to write our name and number phone . The disadvantage of doing this is , we show our number phone and people can know our name . But , what I learn is everything we do we need to be patient . For example , when I go where I want to , I need to be patient to enter that mall , store or others to get and to buy whatever I need . Its not easy , but like I said in this situation we can learn how to be patient more . And we can ask our self that do I need that thing ? or what so important about that thing ? from this we can inculcate ourselves in a waste of useless thing .

WEEK 12

During this PKPP , my family and I frequently go out . We go to eat lunch , shopping , since PKP we can’t go out and can’t go anywhere . But , before going out I will finished all my work that need to be submitted in this week or tomorrow . By doing that , I will not rushing to submit the work or the assignment when the due date is near. Sometimes , when doing the assignment alone and study alone , I really miss all my friends . I really want to go to University and study , go to class like always . From that , I can share anything and if I don’t know how to do the work I can ask her to teach me face to face . Study in group using WhatsApp is not same as study face to face . I find its difficult to study at home , because I can’t focus to do my assignment such as video . And its also hard to focus when lecturer are giving lecture in Google Meet or Microsoft Teams . But the advantages when do all this assignment at home is , my parents can help for give their idea on what I want to put or to write in my assignment . The other cons when doing like this is need to always take a note on what the due date of the assignment . Sometimes , I forget what assignment that I did not finished yet and what assignment or homework that I need to submit . But , with this ODL I can help my mother to clean the house , wash the clothes and do anything at home . I felt tired sometimes and feeling disturbed where I need to do the work , need to attend the class on Google Meet , Microsoft Teams , need to wash the clothes , need to cook for lunch . But its okay , this is what students and first sister in siblings need to do . I feel relieved if all the work at home I have done early because I can focus on doing the assignment and homework . From this , I learn how to manage my time and did not wasting my time on useless thing .

Day by day , this semester will be end soon . Its feel really like a moment passed . I hope I can get a good mark in all assignment that I had done . I really want to pass this semester with flying colours . I want to make it until I finish this diploma with a good mark and make my parents proud of me . I know I’m not the one who easily fast in learning something and I’m also the one who lacks in many things . What I know I really do my best in anything but I don’t know how to say and how to make my parents proud of me . I really love to study but its hard to remembered it forever . Its really hard to make and to have a good mark in any subject . I really working hard to have a good mark and to understand also remembered what I’m studying . I regret on myself sometimes , what I do ? why I can’t be smart like others ? why I have to be like this ? I really angry with myself . What I do everything is wrong and everything is not right . I don’t know how to make people satisfied with my work . But , I know If I think like this I hurt myself more . So , rather than think like that better I just make myself enjoy with little thing that happen in my life . Sometimes , when I think negative I will try really hard to forget and replace it with positives vibes . If I really not smart , how I become UITM student ? how Iget this course and study at University ? how I survived until this semester ? how can I get good points in semester 1 ? . Yes, actually in life we did not see the small things we get . We just angry if something we want , we don’t get it . Even though , my parents doesn’t show how proud they are with me but I know deep inside their heart , they really proud with what I had done . So , I just want to say sometimes negative thinking can really hurt our self . By being hurt , better we change it to positive and think all good memories and good work that we have done . Love our self is more better and everything will be all right .

WEEK 14

On this last week of classes , we already finished all the chapter in every subject . For elc and tmc we have done all our test and this is my last assignment for elc . Thank you to all lecturer who have been patient in lecture all of us . Alhamdulillah for this semester , even we have to face this COVID-19 pandemic but we manage to finish semester 2 . I just hope I can get the better result because I learn many new things in this semester . I learn how to use laptop well . Before this , I does not know how to use laptop . I just use it if I need to do in Microsoft Word . I learn how to do power point slide . I get to know many type of application . Even though sometimes its quite difficult but I really excited and enjoyable in doing that and learn new things that I don know and don’t use it before . But , I really want to go study like always , go to class with friends , having breakfast and lunch with them . I miss doing all that thing in University . For me , Its better go to class rather than study at home because its help me to get more focus and understand what lecturer teach . This semester is going to be remembered after this , and I hope this issue and this type of study we will not face it anymore . I think I will end my journal here and I hope we all get a best result in this semester and for the lecturer I hope you are doing well and thank you again for teaching us . As you know , we all appreciate what madam and sir doing for us to get understand in everything . I am so sorry if I have make my lecturer disappointed and angry in everything . In life , we need to appreciate every single things that people do to us . Thank you for reading and Assalamualaikum .
