First of all, I would like to make apologies to all my visitors’ coz I don’t update my blog since 2 weeks ago. I have makes some rules to me that I will never do anything except study on weekdays. I want to focus when I am studying and other else I will be doing it on weekend.
So back to our title, absolutely that English is fun!! Why I said that? Am I crazy? No!!! English is important to us. Because of that, I really want to improve myself in English language. One day, my friend said to me that IRDA (Iskandar Regional Development Authority) will conduct an English program for FREE!! and they will give us an ELAUN!! and we will do it in HOTEL!!
Wow!! And awesome!! That’s great. I am excited about that. Immediately I registered for this program. The program called Communicative English Programme and Enhancement Employability English Programme (EEEP) held by IRDA.
On 7 December 2009, I and my friends arrived at Hotel Pandan City to attend this program.
Before we continue for this programme, we had to seat a test. This test was to determine the level of English for each participant. They divided us into 7 groups and I had been placed at group 7. Luckily, my group was the smallest group which consist only 16 peoples. If I’m not mistaken that group 1 was the biggest group which consist 38 peoples. Each group had one lecturer and my group got a very charming women. We called her Ms.Shantini.
She asked us to do an ice breaking to know each other and named our group... Of course we were group 7 but we changed it to be more astonishing. FABULOUS 7!! I liked this name. All right I will introduce my group members.

Last members is Qayyum. He is always busy so we don't have a picture of him.
Many have this impression of industrial training being merely ‘part of the academic syllabus’. This is where you got it all wrong. A good industrial experience will do wonders to you.
Not only it equips you with new, hands-on technical knowledge and applications, you are also exposed to the real working environment – the world you will be in after you finish your studies. This is an opportunity to get a ‘taste’ of the working world.
I have in fact saw many of my friends offered to come back working with the same companies they had been attached to during the industrial training – companies like Shell, Schlumberger, Silterra, Agilent Technologies, IBM, Western Digital and so on. It shows that if you take your training seriously, opportunities will come, and you will have an easier, and faster access to employment upon graduation.
1. Get your resume ready
Your resume can perhaps be the most important document you will ever write before leaving the education world. A fabulous resume will not guarantee you a job or a place for training but surely it is a door opening. It is your first ticket to marketing yourself in the corporate world. There are hundreds, if not thousands of resume samples out there you can view and get a feel before starting to write your own.
Get a few friends to work with you on the resume. After all, every one of them will eventually need one of their own when the school finishes. Ask other senior colleagues, lecturers and career councilors to get things correctly done.
2. Compile all relevant documents
Get your all other supplementary documents in order e.g. letter from the faculty, university’s authorization, cover letter and other relevant documents so that you’re not kelam kelabut when you’re asked for those things.
3. Ask for a company list from the department
Your faculty or department should have some sort of list of companies they’ve targeted as possible partners in providing industrial training to the students. You should take the opportunity to ask for this list, together with the contact details. Take your own initiative to study the companies, and make a sensible short list of which companies can provide you with good experience. Also, do not only depend on your department’s list – work out to get your own list too.
Why can’t I just let the company finding an industrial placement for me?
Nice thinking bro. If you are a 20-year old kid still in need to be spoon-fed, by all means, do so. Just remember that, by the time you hold your degree scroll, you’re on your own, in a whole new world. If you want to start being an independent macho guy, then it’s time to take things with your own hands. The time is now.
The choice is yours.
4. Call the companies – ask
Start calling those companies that you’ve short listed. Talk to the HR Manager or one of the personnel in theHuman Resources department. Courteously ask them if they provide industrial training opportunities to students. Sometimes, you won’t be getting a positive or pretty response. You know, responses like:
- “No, we don’t”.
- “I’m not sure, but if you’re interested, you can send your resume to… “
- “Pegawai bertugas cutilah dik… cuba call balik dalam… next year ke…”
- “Just hold on a minute…..” – and never come back.
Do not be discouraged. Most likely these happen because the guy/girl on the other line is incompetent in their job, or is someone in need of attitude adjustment. At least, this is way better than getting no response at all. And if you don’t know how an unemployed bum feels in the midst of job hunting, now you know. So, this is a good practice for your real experience soon. Treasure it.
5. Submit your resume, follow up
Once you have identified suitable companies, get the relevant contact details that will allow you to send your resume to them. Do not only settle for email, but follow up with a write-in to increase your chance. Also, do not just send to 2-3 companies. Short list between 15 to 30. Periodically follow up your application. Many Malaysian companies have this habit of ignoring job application letters with the excuse of ‘busy’. It does not sound good to you but bite the reality. At times it sounds as if they’re running a country in a middle of a civil war.
Hopefully, you will get good news, a number of interview invitations, and a place for industrial training very, very soon.

Assalamualaikum.. Akhirnya berjaya juga aku menulis utk post yg baru ini..

Rules And Regulation:
Adalah baik sekiranya anda menulis 25 perkara yg org xtau semasa kecil anda. dihujung entry, anda harus memilih 5 org utk ditag. Anda amat bertuah jika ditag saya sbb sy ingin tau lebey lanjut tentang zaman comel anda dulu..
Dikau dtg lg..
Menyapa segenap sanubari
Dikala sepi mencengkam diri
Apakah yg dikau cari..
Mengapa sering menghimpit hati
Tidakku tahu keperluanmu..
Bijak mencuri lakaran perasaanku
Kesungguhan darimu..
Dalam meniti layar hatiku
Membuaiku bagai ombak lalu
Ku ingin tahu..
Adakah benar dikau pelengkap indah kenanganku
Atau
Dikau hanyalah bayangan luka gurisan kalbu
Kepastian tetap aku nanti..
Biarpun menanti di hujung hari
Nampaknya beberapa hari ni cuaca agak redup dan agak basah sikit... Saya baru sampai di UTM tempat diri ini membina sahsiah diri dan mencari ilmu. Huhu.. Basah sudah baju mengharungi hujan.. Owh.. rindu plak hari yg cerah.
Rindu selain kepada manusia boleh juga dikaitkan dengan rindu pada kenangan lalu, tempat, barang kesayangan dan sebagainya.. Kebiasaannya perasaan rindu akan datang apabila sesuatu itu hilang untuk jangkawaktu yang lama tapi ada juga insan-insan yang dalam era percintaan yang merindu walaupun beberapa saat berpisah.. HUhuhuhu.. Adakah anda seperti itu??
Perasaan rindu memberikan impak positif jika individu tersebut menjadikan perasaan rindu sebagai satu cabaran. Sebagai contoh jika seseorang itu rindu kepada kampung halaman beliau akan cuba sedaya upaya untuk pulang ke kampung halaman. Walaubagaimanapun perasaan rindu yang tidak terkawal mampu menyebabkan individu terbabit tidak mampu melaksanakan sesuatu tugas dengan baik..
b) Sentiasa menyibukkan diri dengan aktiviti luar.. Dengan melakukan aktiviti luar sedikit sebanyak kerinduaan terhadap seseorang itu dapat dikurangkan.
c) Terdapat juga kes-kes mereka yang merindui orang yang telah pergi meninggalkan diri.. Kita seeloknya patut lebih realistik dengan kehidupan.. Cuba-cubalah mencari rakan-rakan yang baru bagi menggantikan yang telah pergi..
d) Bagi mereka yang belajar di luar negara sudah semestinya rindu pada kampung halaman menjadi sesuatu yang tidak dapat dielakkan.. Banyak-banyakkan berjalan dan melihat dunia ciptaan ALlah yang luas ini.
e) Berdoa dan sentiasa ingat kepada Tuhan. Bagi yang beragama Islam amat-amatlah digalakkan untuk beribadat samada solat, membaca Al-QUran, berdoa dan sebagainya. Ini sudah semestinya cara yang efektik dan sentiasalah merinduiNya… AMIN..
f) Mencari hobi yang mampu mengisi kekosongan perasaan rindu.. Anda boleh mencuba banyak hobi seperti melukis, menulis, origami dan sebagainya..
