FYP Presentations: Checked



Assalamualaikum,

Sedar tak sedar, dah habis present result & poster fyp pun. Tak percaya nak dekat setahun aku hadap macam2 daripada perang dingin dengan fyp mate, sampai ke kena buli dengan orang atas (side note: bukan supervisor saya. SV saya baik hokayy). 

Me being Hannysa, I was mad nervous before the final presentation. Cold hands, cold feet, you name it. Semuanya ada. Trembling masa pakai tudung pagi nak present tu. Ya Allah, teruk beno. Macam nak pergi hukuman gantung padahal nak present je. 

I was the second presenter that day, actually, among the 32 of us. Sebab our schedule got messed up since Khamis Jumaat cuti sebab PRU hari tu. Patut present Jumaat, tapi terpaksa anjak ke hari Rabu. When I think about it, it was actually a blessing, giving me more time to prepare. I may have not be as prepared kalau buat as planned originally. 

I could feel my voice trembling a bit. Nak aje baca laju2 sebab takut exceed 15 minit, tapi sebab the first presenter kena tegur sebab present laju sangat, I took my time to explain my slides. After that, 5 minutes of q & a. The thing is, if you know your study, you will not have any problems pun untuk jawab. You need to have justifications on how and why you did something. Assessors are there untuk tolong kau improve apa yang boleh improve untuk study kau tu. Diorang bukan nak hentam kau & sengaja nak kenakan kau. At the same time, diorang nak assess how well you know your own study. Nak tengok kau buat kerja ke tak sebenarnya. So, kalau dapat assessors yang teliti tu, lagi bagus sebenarnya. So that dia boleh point out benda yang mungkin kau tak perasan pun sebelum ni. 

I think I did well despite my nervousness. Dapat jawab semua soalan, clarify benda2 yang assessors tak faham at first, receiving comments. Bila one of the assessors said "Yup, that's true" sambil angguk2 kepala after I answered a question, ya Allah, that's the best feeling ever. Same thing happened masa present fyp proposal dulu. Before presenting, I asked my roommate to record the whole presentation. So, bila aku tengok balik recording tu, I did not look like a nervous wreck pun. Aku je yang overthought. 

Our SV was there masa aku present. Habis present, dr mintak jumpa kat bilik dia. We discussed about the comments given by the assessors. After the discussion, she said "You guys really put an effort on your outfit today. I appreciate that." Which was her way of saying we cleaned up nice haha. So, I replied, "Saya iron dua set baju hari ni, dr", which was true sebab baju first tu aku tak berkenan, so decided untuk tukar & iron laju2. "But your baju macam susah nak iron je" xD

At the end, she said, "You guys did a very good job today. Congrats." That was it. The magic words. Despite all the changes that we need to do for the thesis, those last words just made my heart flutter. 

Poster presentation pulak, I got an assessor yang assess paling lama. By that, I mean, patutnya 15 minit je untuk seorang student, tapi dr ni assess at least 40 minit seorang. I was assessed for 50 minutes (my friends told me because they were all waiting for us to finish). Paling lama though, sejam. Allahu. Sakit jugaklah pinggang aku nak tunggu assessor datang & bila dah datang, jawab soalan2 dr. 

Despite needing improvements on some parts, my poster assessment was great. Dr was obviously testing my knowledge on my own study, particularly regarding the data collection process, data analysis and discussion. I was satisfied when she nodded her head, acknowledging my answers to her deadly questions while filling in my marks. 

Alhamdulillah. All was well.

Redang Mutiara Beach Resort: A Review (July 2017)

Image
Assalamualaikum, I promised to write about the expenses for our trip to Redang and would also give some useful tips for those of you who are looking to go for a holiday there. So, here you go. We stayed for a night at a hotel in Kuala Terengganu before going to Redang Island because we had to catch our ferry in the morning, which we could not possibly do on the same day we had our journey from KL to Terengganu. That would be such a rushed trip. It was a budget hotel, Hotel Kenangan. We took 2 rooms for 3 and 4 people. The rate was RM18.30 per person per night, which was affordable for students like us. The room condition was fairly acceptable relative to the price. I mean, we were only in need of a place to sleep at. Not a luxurious room to lavish in. We took a RM300 per head package (not including GST, RM16.50) at Redang Mutiara Beach Resort. It is the rate for weekdays. We went there from Wednesday (12th July) until Friday (14th July). Since there were 7 of

First Year Dietetics: Subject Summary

Image
This is not a typical short and sweet update. It’s going to be a long one which is kind of rare for me these days. Okay, I know I’ve been writing about my undergraduate life a lot but this post is strictly to talk about my program, Bachelor Science (Dietetics). As I just recently finished my first year, I’m going to talk about what I’ve basically learnt.              Before we start, let me just give some facts. I am an undergraduate in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), currently studying Dietetics. I went to an interview in May 2015. There were 2000 applicants, about 100 of them were called to be interviewed and eventually only 29 of us were chosen before another 3 were brought in for the second intake. So, there are 32 of us. I did go to another interview for the same program at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) which I obviously flunked. This was surprising because I found the interview at UPM to be much harder and thorough. The interview took 30 minutes when in contra

Special Unit: Institut Jantung Negara

Assalamualaikum, I am currently at home, holding the title fresh graduate. So, I am not bind to anything. Patutnya aku dah lama taip pasal ni tapi mood tu tak ada haha. Ni baru rasa macam ada mood sikit. So, here goes, walaupun I do not think this would be a long post. Just simple and sweet. We will see. Masa dapat tahu aku dapat placement kat sini, I was quite literally scared. Awat? Weh, ni IJN kot. Kena attach directly dengan dietitians kat sana. Bukan lagi dengan CI kita yang dah masak dengan perangai 32 orang ni. Yes, aku pernah pergi hospital luar which were Hospital Kajang & Hospital Putrajaya, tapi kat dua2 hospital ni, mostly memang attach dengan CI, bukan dengan dietitian kat hospital. The sheer terror was also because I am a bit of a shy person (walaupun kalau cakap benda ni kat sesiapa, depa takkan percaya sebab dah biasa dengan aku yang banyak cakap ni xD). The prospect of meeting new people usually gives me anxiety.  Dah lah special unit ni rotation terak
