I'm enjoying myself here...

It had been 5 weeks since I registered in Taylor. Everything seem good now as I think I already adapt with the surrounding in SS15. 

Soo, I think i have started to love taxation, hahaha... It may sound ridiculous but that is the fact. Why, because I think it is really important to have the knowledge about taxation since everyone in the country are paying the taxes but they do not know what it is for and how the government utilise the taxes..

And one fact that surprised is that it is only about 13% of Malaysian that paying taxes... WOW!!!!! 13%!!! Are you among those 13%???

I don't think I have any low-light so far here as I am enjoying my life here in Subang with my friends.
There are few highlights that I enjoyed here and one of it is playing badminton. Well, I haven't played any official badminton before and this week was my first time and it was really great... :)

    
Besides, the boys had found a place to play snooker & pool.. So, there is another thing to do if we are boring but the price is quite expensive which cost RM17 per hour..

Last weekend I joined the MPKJ 10KM run in Bangi as my preparation for 42KM Marathon next month in Putrajaya. It had been a while since I last joined any running events. It was great as I think I had improved my fitness and performance compared to my last achievement. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to accomplished my target to finished the 10KM run within 1 hour.. My time was 1 hour and 4 minutes.. Just 4 minutes late.. :(

Heyyy, Guess what? I met Iqbal at the running event.. haha

Pray that I can reach my top form within this 1 month to complete the 42KM Full Marathon on this 12.11.2016 at Putrajaya.. My first full marathon and it is one of my life goals.. :)

Self-Assessment on Skills

This is my assessment on my own skills.

It Is Time To Change

    Without realizing it, the time flew so fast and it is already the second week of the class. The lesson also so fast that I almost could not catch up with Mr. Ravi pace at class. I have to admit it is totally different from my degree style of learning. I guess I could relax and delay my work a little bit during my degree but now, you have to learn by yourself instead of relying on others. So after a while, I figured out, IT IS TIME TO CHANGE!!!

Here are the changes that I need to do to adapt and organise myself with the new surrounding :

a) Make a list of things to do (responsibility)

b) Evaluate the responsibilities and make the arrange it based on priority

c) Plan the action to be taken in order to accomplished the tasks

d) Ask order opinions and help if I need their help

e) Take actions

f) Evaluate your actions and the result, re plan and take new actions if needed

g) Committed to your responsibilities

I've learned that doing this is very important and I have to plan everything I want to do because, as the quote said, "Failing to plan is planning to fail".

All student was required to make a video of presentation regarding their own SWOT analysis and thanks to it, I got to know more about myself actually. I think it was my highlight of the week as I can evaluate myself and plan how to use my strengths to improve myself, how to repair my weaknesses, how to used the opportunities wisely and how to avoid the threats to improve myself as a person. Besides, I also could know more about my classmates and share things to help each others.

I am looking forward for coming days to be here and learn more about everything here. I hope to find a few good places here to enjoy myself while studying. Actually Subang is quite packed with people and buildings so I am quite not enjoying it to tell the truth but I'll try to adapt with it. I will try to make a change here I guess, who knows right? Maybe I might set activities to spend quality time with my classmates in the future such as hiking or camping. I believe and I'll try to make this period of my life as a period to be remembered..
