10th Reflection

If you ask me what was my worst luck that ever happened in my whole life, I would probably answer you that my worst luck is not being selected to enter any of the local university. Well, to be honest, one of my biggest dream is to enter a local university to further my study. I've tried my best applying any of the local university since I graduate form 5 but I didn't make it. Although I can't make through it, I still wanted to fight in order to achieve my dream so I went to form 6. My STPM's result was not bad but still I can't make it to enter any of the local university. I was very frustrated and almost giving up in achieving my dream. Until now, I still have this phobia while filling a form. Filling a University applying form makes me stress out because I am still afraid that I cannot make through it. :(

9th Reflection

In this 9th reflection, our lecturer had given us a task which is to choose the best picture of ourselves and post it. So, this is the best picture of me :)


Why I choose this picture as the best picture of me? Well, to be honest, I'm not a photogenic type of person but this photo looks really nice. Credit for the photographer :) He had successfully captured a first class photo. I think this was the best one because of the scenery looks match. I've got nothing to comment about this picture  but for me, this was the best photo that I ever had. :)

8th Reflection

Based on a paper given, our lecturer had told us to decide which type of learners we are and give advice to ourselves on how to improve our learning. After reading the paper, I would probably think that I am 'The Boffin' type of learner. So, the advice that I could give to myself is don't just rely on the facts and figures too much. Sometimes, there are question that provides no facts or figures. For example like solving Mathematics question. We can't find any good facts or figures while solving Mathematics question. We have to learn and remember the formula of solving it. Although 'The Boffin' learners are the Mastermind winners but still they have to use their logically thinking while answering or even solving questions. So, I should be a bit more like 'The Builder' whereas I should learn things step by step and a little bit like 'The Bakers' whereas sometimes I have to use my logical thinking to solve any question instead of collecting facts and figures. :)
