It's been awhile...

Oh my... it was like a week since i last update my so-call ordinary life.. well, where to begin hah???

So today, the start of the week wasn't really a fresh start at all... I have a management test today, and it consists of 6 (or I think it was 7) chapters altogether... I wasn't sure of my answer coz it was toooooooo much to digest within like two days of studying and understanding the concept... 

LUCKILY......

I did read up on Theory X and Theory Y like 10 mins before the test begun,,, so yeah, I think that one I did well.. 

anyhow, what can I do.. I did study, but the questions that come out wasn't what everyone expected.. so now, all I can say is I did put an effort of studying the 6/7 chapters thoroughly with the book and the slides, I pray for the ease and calmness when answering the question, and now all I have to do is pray and hope for the best (tawakal)

And the best thing about today also is that....

We had no other class after that until the next day.. hehe

(short period of freedom)

Soooooooo..

It gives plenty of time to finish up other assignments (DR.O's especially hahaha)

Well that's it.. more to come from me soon...

p/s: I was about the feel the relief of not having any other test until Khadijah informed the rest of the class that this thursday, we'll be having MGT417 chapter 1 til 6.. oh myyyyyyyyy... with assignments to be completed... hummmppphh

4C is awesome!!!!

Hey ho people.. it's thursday, and as usual.. I will update the blog early.... 

To cut short...

Everyone is hyperactive today. Everyone seems to have enough sleep last night (I guess). Anyhow, allow me to report today's class.

EPC550: Technical writing class today is all about writing instructional manual. We had to present a sample of an instructional manual for better understand (it's also our third assignment tooooo... oh assignments keep flowing in)

Next, proceed to EPC541, Pragmatics. And again, we did a spontaneous presentation on the assessment given last class on Tuesday (everybody did great). 

And and and....

Dr.C made a confession saying that our class is the best class that she had taught.

 (YEAHHHHH, Proud to be in 4C)

So yeah, that's all to be said today. See you next week!

Bye.

p/s: 4C is awesome and will always be til we grad!!!!

Zombie day.......

hahaha.. I'm guessing that right now dear readers probably be wondering why today's update entitled Zombie day, right? Is it because I see zombies? Or zombies has come to life???

hahaha

hehehe...... Nope!!!!

What I meant by today's update is that majority of my classmates are at a zombie stage, where nobody get's enough sleep last night because everyone is trying to finish off their academic research presentation (and some didn't even get the chance to actually sleep.. ouchhhhhh)

Anyhow... today's class was about getting the presentation done (though only 4 groups managed to do the presentation.... I was fully prepared at that time though... well, there's always next week,right??).

So yeah... wait up for next week's post on my group's turn to present (I hope).

Well, not much to say. 

That's it.

p/s: I'm included in those zombies tooooooo... need to cover my sleep now :(

Sincerely

An ordinary girl

Glad to help you dear friend...

So. today, I've decided not to update my blog late at night coz I need to settle some stuff for Dr.O's assignment... 

So yeah... I'm updating it now..

So today's class wasn't really a class (for me). My body is too tired, my head keep spinning, my inner body temperature kept going up and down... (am I gonna fall sick??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

Anyhow.. today's MGT417 class is kind a interesting because it is the presentation day. And today, Farris' group has presented on a topic call Network. (and to be honest, the presentation was very clear, and detail, and easy to understand too). Thus, after the presentation, the lecturer ended the class early (coz the room is tooooooooooooooooooooo hot)

Class continue for CTU553, as usual, our dearest lecturer loves telling stories. (and she's funny too, love listening to her lecture).

BUT BUT BUT.....

My body is too weak to give my full attention to her class. I feel like I'm a zombie today (though at certain times I'm a human being who tend to laugh out loud with Yaa, Bobo, Shiqin, Ameen and Faiz... hehehe)

Moving on............ (actually, still feeling weak to update this blog huhu)

Afternoon class was a bit chilly coz it was raining heavily at that time. So, the heat kinda lost for a while (making the atmosphere is soooooooooooo sleepy, hehe) The lecturer came late and had to leave early cox she had to attend a meeting at 3. (ohhh, and she left us an assessment to be completed)

SOOOOOOOOoooooo...

Without wasting our time, i did the assessment in pairs and left the class at 3.30 and head straight to Polis Bantuan (a.k.a. POBAN, hehe) to settle some matters.

p/s: now I'm way way way sleepy... need to rest and do more work later at night. and really glad that I could help a friend out. It's a satisfaction when you get to see your friend smiles again...

Quiz and assignments... and ohhhh, presentations!!!

Well, for the start, allow me to let you know that this week will be a bit hectic since so many assignments and preparation for the presentation (Dr.O's presentation of course)  has to be done and completed.

Well, for today, in MGT 420, we had a pop quiz (since the lecturer said many was absent, NOTTTTT, ONLY 3 PEOPLE WERE ABSENT).

BUT... 

Luckily  I was focused with today's lecture since it is an easy topic (it's actually what we always do when making decision, it's just that we don't realize it that there was actually steps to follow).

Later in the evening, we had EPC550 class. And today is the submission of our first assignment which is the Press Release assignment that considers 10% of our on going mark (and it is our first individual assignment). Then, throughout the whole class, we had to design our homepage and brochures for our next assignment (this one is a group assignment).

LUCKILY...

I have the two gentlemen, Ridz and Ameen to make the work more efficient. Furthermore, I've once design my own brochure and flyer for my Raya Cookies business 2 years ago (gosh... sounds so long ago hehe). So, I think me n my team is capable of handling this assignment.

Oh well... not much to say.. basically, I've enjoyed my day today.

p/s: embracing myself for tomorrow's presentation, MGT417 huhu

An ordinary girl

It's the day...

OMG!!! I'm a year older today...

Greeted by fellow classmates with a birthday song (about to cry, but managed to cover hehe)

Anyway..

Today's class is at Menara SAAS... so, I had to climb up to Level 9 because I can't bothered to wait and be pushed inside the lift.  It's a good exercise though, 

BUT,....

by the time u get to level 9, trust me, you'll be sweating like mad, hehe

However, I'm glad to say that today's class is a leisure. Not much lecturing been going. The first class was merely a lecture, just a small discussion among the group members on our 2nd assignment. It was fun because we get to design a flyer and a brochure for our 'imaginary' company.

The second class, on the other hand, is a no-lecture class. Instead, we did some kind of a test (again) on main concepts of pragmatics. I guess there will never be an end to this test (right?????)

Any how, the class has ended early and as usual, today (Thursday) is the blogging day, so we had to stay and update our blog (I'm doing right now.. haha)

That pretty much it then.

p/s: going out to celebrate with my dear classmates (a.k.a 2nd family) before I'm off to Kedah to meet my family

Until then, meet again tomorrow for another update (and throughout the whole semester)

An ordinary girl

What a day .....

To be honest, today is THE most tiring day ever... though the class end at 2, yet I still have to stick around UiTM.. 

Let me do a chronology for this (just to cut short, coz I'm too tired to type)

8:30am - 12:30pm : Class Dr.O (wasn't paying much attention in the class, too sleepy hehe)

12:30pm : Walked from APB to Business school for management class (imagine how much calories I've burnt with all the walking and climbing up to Business school)

2:00pm : The class end, went to get our lunch (at AHLAA cafe, had mac & cheese with lemon ice tea)

3:30pm: Recieved a call from Farris inviting 2 APPLES members to attend to an event

4.15pm: Me and Yana waited for the bus to attend to an event at Menara (invitation from our dearest MPP, Farris)

4.45pm: arrived in UiTM, walked up to Menara just to see dancing, theater etc. etc.

5:00pm: Faliq sent me and Yana home

8: 30pm - 10pm : APPLES meetings 

10:35pm : currently updating my blog :D

10 until 12am : waiting for the big hour :D (hehehe)

Well, that pretty much it for today, tiring huh???

Well, I think I might just wanna wait a few hours before I go to sleep.. hehe

p/s: it's jubah day today, and most of the girls wore jubah today (imagine me walking from APB to Business school in jubah.. huhu)

all dressed in our jubah

That's all for today.

Rest well now, big day tomorrow.. weeeeeeeeeeeeee (finally going home)

Presentation... Class... Test....

Full class today... a bit tired... even sacrifice lunch for a test as well...

IT WASN'T ACTUALLY A TEST... MORE LIKE A DISCUSSION (but it was fun though playing with colours)

Well, basically, the class begins with MGT417 where we discussed chapter 4 (in syllabus, but chapter 5 in the book) about data, databases, data warehouse, knowledge system, knowledge system management n more. Then, we had our first group presentation. Our group was named as Sunyo.

tadaaaaaaaa... hehe

THEN...

we had our CTU class... the most informational class I could say for the time being because the lecturer not only talk about the subject, but also relates and bring in many general knowledge that we should've known such as the story of World War II etc.

Later in the evening... the most terrifying moment was the EPC541, the pragmatics class. It's the TEST day today, but............

IT WASN'T A TEST ACTUALLY...

it was more of a discussion doing the branches thingy and drawing.

Our 'neatest' yet 'greatest' masterpiece within less than 8 minutes and we're proud of it.

Well done guys !!!

Later at night, we had a small group tutoring for Dr. O's bonus mark assignment. And we did it!!!

Oh well... it's getting late.

Need beauty sleep now.

Sleep tight, don't let the bed bug bite ^___^

p/s : another whole day tomorrow before the big day come. huhu

Leisure in the end

Hi peeps... well, it's the start of week 4 already... and as always (like other weeks), the class start with MGT420, management class. It's interesting to know that in order to be a manager in an organization, you need to know the 4 roles of manager: planning, organizing, controlling and leading. And this week's focuses on organizing...

GOSHHHH, who says becoming a manager is easy?????

Well, the lecturer start off with a good start... n believe me, some started to fall out in the end...

Who say's theory is fun???? (not meeee...)

Well, that was the MGT420's class.. then we had at least 4 hours gap before the next class begins.. (as if,, hehe)

UNFORTUNATELY... (well fortunately I guess)

the EPC550 lecturer decided to drag the class during lunch hour because she had to attend some meeting at 2.. so for those who were outside waiting to have an awesome lunch (me, yaa,ema, mira, shiqin, ameen, n bobo) had to postpone it and return to UiTM as fast as a we could (well not exactly, hehe)

It was just an hour class before the lecturer leave the room. It was just a class to tell the students of the next assignment (the first one hasn't even been submitted yet.. huuu)

Oh well, not a harm to actually know that assignments are starting to making their way into my TO-DO list.

That's it... it was fun today, coz I get to hang out with a birthday girl..

P/s : happy birthday yaa. 

Sincerely,

An ordinary girl.

All alone :(

OMG!!! I forgot to update my blog yesterday (an honest confession here). Oh well, I shall update it now.. hehe

Well, as everyone ( I think) heading their way back home yesterday, I was all alone in Shah Alam, (since Khadijah left me and will be back within 3 day).  I didn't know what to do.

THEN...

I started to make the list of all the assignments that needed to be completed within this week (if possible within this long weekend, I hope). I started out reading my academic research article a bit for Dr.O's first assignments, then start designing for the Director presentation, and reading a bit from the Pragmatics book (preparation for Tuesday's test.. oh and also doing the assignment at the same time)

Later at night, I managed to get hold of an organizer for an event for my PRESS RELEASE assignment (feel like I'm a real journalist at that time) and managed to complete it by 12am last night. 

Well, at least I have done something yesterday, and hopefully to be continued today.

That's all for now.

Shall be back in 2 days.

p/s: really hope to complete all the assignments this weekend (except for Dr.O's since it's a group work. hehehe)

Sincerely,

An ordinary girl

A day with Pragmatics.. and blogging ^__^

Hey hey hey... 2nd day updating my blog... (this is soooooooooooooooo not me)

Well, today's entry is simply based on today's one and only class, EPC541: Pragmatics in Professional and Business Settings (professional???? business???) 

hurmmm

WHAT'S THAT???

Pragmatics, that's what we, language students, have to know. In simpler words,  it is the study of an ambiguous meaning of the speaker's utterance.

STILL DON'T GET IT???

well, there's 12 weeks to go to understand better... hehehe

OK, back to the class.. it supposedly started at 10am, unfortunately, our dear friend didn't convey the message that our beloved lecturer has already told that friend (who must not be named) that she will be late (which he... oppppsssss... also late hehehe)

Well, it was the final presentation of the main concept of pragmatics before we go off and start our first assignment which is the Summary of the Main Concepts of Pragmatics.

Hurmmmm...

I guess that is it..

Oh yaaaa... and we have to submit our daily entry as well.. so we had to stay an hour at least to do so

(and we did, Dr.)

P/S: I have awesome group mates for my test on Tuesday... 

. 

TO BE CONTINUED...

Why EPC?? What is EPC???

OMG!!! It's already the fourth semester?? Which means I only have two semesters left before I graduate...

OH WELL...

Hi, my name is Siti Qurratuaini Mahadzir. Currently in 4th semester of LG220, English for Professional Communication. Well, for those who doesn't know what this course is all about, it is easier to be said as the study of Language or scientifically known as Linguistics. I'm majoring in English and minor in Business Management (which we have to take no matter what- no exception).

This program studies deeply into the wonders of English language such as Pragmatics, Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics and so many more. It basically a program that prioritize English in many situation such as persuasion, negotiation, and many more.

Some may wonder, why do I take this course for my degree? Well, to be honest, I can't be bothered to count many number and memorize formulas...

and...

I'm not a science person either.

So, I believe that with my choice of program for my degree is the path that will lead to a better future

P/s: My classmates are cool, awesome and supportive in many ways. And that is why I love this program and this course so much.

See how "hyperactive" we are...
Memory of Semester 2

Well, I guess that's just about it of my program...
