Mclead 2008

Management Course for Student Leader 2008 (Mclead’08) dan Kursus Bina Negara Asas
Di Kem Lipis, Kuala Lipis Pahang
12-18 November 2008

Mclead kali ini berbeza dari tahun tahun sebelum nya. Management Course ini disatukan sekali bersama Kursus Negara Asas. Pada mulanya, sememangnya aku sangat bosan untuk menghadiri kursus ini. Baru lepas final exam, perlu kosongkan bilik dan pindahkan barang dan pada masa yang sama telah bermula hari pertama kursus tersebut di UIAM.

Management Course, pada hari pertama diadakan di UIAM kemudian bersambung di Kem Lipis, Kuala Lipis Pahang. Seperti biasa, Management Course mengajar dan memberi panduan untuk mahasiswa yang mempunyai jawatan di dalam kelab dan persatuan untuk menyusun perjalanan kelab dengan lebih teratur. Sememangnya penting untuk setiap mahasiswa yang bakal memegang sesuatu jawatan di dalam kelab nya. Seramai kira kira 125 mahasiswa mengikuti kursus tersebut.

Till 14 November was the session with IIUM. What I want to highlight here is the session with BTN. This was my second course with Biro Tatanegara but it was the BEST course of Bina Negara Asas ever. The module was customized to meet the students need or basically our need.

From the first day, we were divided into 6 groups. I was in group 1 with such tremendous friends which are Ali – The Boss, Akmal, Jazli, Lukman, Najwan, Pdot, Rozara, Yus, Amalina,
Husna, Karimah, Marni, Mieza, Nana, Sabariah, Siti, Syuhada, Yana + Ali and Muhammad.

The first day of BTN session started with 2 talks. The first talk was delivered by Ketua Pengarah Biro Tatanegara YBhg Dato’ Hj Shagul Hamid Bin Abdullah. It was such an honour to have him to give an inspiring talk about what the leader should have. He taught about to speak about only the truth, to differentiate false and truth information, to be brave enough to speak if what you believe is right. Although he was very busy with his job, he still wanted to come and gave long inspiring speech. Thank you Dato’. The second talk is also very good. The topic was about academic.

After that, there were lots and lots of fun things that we did in group, LDK (latihan dalam kumpulan). We had to kept “panji”(bendera), 3 water ballons (amanah to God, people and yourself), and a letter (perlembagaan). We refreshed the history of how great the Malacca was back then. Hebat kah Melaka? Or rather Hebat tak Melaka? Parameswara is not “pendatang” but he was from the same roots that is “rumpun melayu”. Zaman dahulu tiada sempadan negara atau imegresen. Saudara di Acheh boleh berbicara dengan saudara di Terengganu. Siapa yang memisahkan kita? Tak lain adalah penjajah. Kajilah semula berapa ratus tahun kita dijajah, dipijak di tanah sendiri. “…Di alam warisan ini, tiada ketakutan. Yang ada hanya keberanian…”

We learn about so many things. Asas Negara Malaysia, Apakah itu “Persekutuan”, Perlembagaan yang penting untuk diketahui, Kontrak Sosial dan bermacam-macam perkara yang kita pada zaman ini jahil untuk tidak mahu melihat semua itu yang mempunyai jawapan kepada setiap perkara yang telah berlaku pada masa kini.

The greatest things happen were on 16th November. In the morning we ran 2 Km. After that, we had like explore race where we had to solve puzzle which every each puzzle brings its own meaning. Then at night 1.30am, we had “kembara malam” where we had to walk in the thick jungle of Terenggun in a group. We were the first group that had to walk in. It was raining that night. For three hours, we walked non-stop, up and down the hills, with trees that have torn left and right. For your information, the route that we walked was “berisi”. Alhamdulillah, nothing happen to my group, although some of us encountered undesired “thing” along the journey. We reached destination called Terenggun at 5.15am. Some other groups took 5 hours to reach the destination and reached Terenggun at about 8am. At 9am, we cooked our own breakfast. At about 10am, we build craft (rakit) and had a little race with other group. We went back to Kem Lipis in the afternoon and that night we had some BBQ. Hard day, tired plus did not get enough sleep. But it was the greatest moment ever we shared together as a group. Even though we only met in this course, it seems like we were meant to be friend.

Award from dila~

Yea! Got award from dila… This is a personal award given to me. It’s not like everybody feels the same thing coz my blog is just a blog. For me to express the words, idea, story, the history(about me) and all the nonsense stuff(good stuff also have oo). I don’t write about serious matter coz I think that I’m not too good at that topic. Expressing idea is not the same as expressing facts. So I better talk rubbish than telling fitnah; except if I got the facts to share. Nowadays, people keeps on telling bad things about other people without judging them from many aspects, it’s just so wrong. Show the facts, be neutral and judge from both side. Ofcourse everyone is telling “the right thing” if you see only from one side. But the right thing is not always true. The true thing is always true but the right thing is not always true.

Makan Makan – With YB Fadilah

Venue: Restoran Pucuk Ubi, TTDI PJ.
Time: 8.00pm
zen – kroul – mahader – zul naga
(Special thanks to ZulK for his car)

We reached the restaurant at about 8.45pm after the unexpected traffic jam at the highway. The restaurant is situated at TTDI Plaza. When we reached there we were greeted by the person incharge and directly met YB Fadilah. After greeting and some talking with YB, we had this wonderful dinner at the restaurant. I had nasi pandan, siakap, ayam kurma and some vegetables for my main course. Not to forget a cup of black coffee.

“ZENNN~~”
“Hadrian…hye!”
“At last, we met in the real world!”, that’s what Hadrian said.
(thanks for calling my name) We only met in the net (my weblog and Facebook of Persatuan Warisan Sarawak)…. He is an admin for Persatuan Warisan Sarawak’s Facebook by the way.

After having our meal we chit-chat with YB Fadilah, Dr Lawrence(Founder warisansarawak.com) and Ghai (President of Sarawakian Student UM). It was very fun to be able to talk directly with YB  with such a leisuring atmosphere there. Thank you so much for this dinner invitation.

Dunia Yang Nyata

Aku memulakan peperiksaan ku dengan hati yang gusar. Susah hati adalah perkataan yang paling sesuai menggambarkan perasaan yang bersirat. Daripada kelima-lima kertas tersebut permulaan dan pengakhiran kertas peperiksaan itu adalah yang paling sukar. Am I not being too serious this semester? Or is it too difficult that I had to put much more effort in it? Soalan itu kerap kali bermain di minda walaupun kertas terakhirku adalah pada 9 November yang lepas. Hanya berdoa dan bertawakkal yang mampu kulakukan sekarang. Semester ini saja aku telah dua kali dimarahi oleh Head Department of Mechatronics. Ah, banyak lagi perkara yang aku harus fikirkan. Aku ada urusan lain yang perlu dilakukan seperti menghantar kertas program kelab MISI untuk tahun 2009 dan mengambil kit questionare di Research Centre. Pada 12 sehingga 18 haribulan, aku perlu menghadiri Management Course for Student Leaders 2008 di Kuala Lipis. Bosan betul. Aku ingin bebas selepas menghadapi ombak peperiksaan. Aku ingin menari berpusing pusing. Mungkin tidak sekarang. Tidak mungkin sekarang…
