Ending of Semester 2

 

Hey! My dearest readers, how have you been lately ?

It’s had been 3 months since my last post here, once again sorry about that due to my hectic school life and also because of my laziness XP

 

Just in a blink of eyes, my university life in IMU had came to the last week of semester 2 … Coming to the 2nd semester, time really flies too fast until I almost didn’t realize how I deal with all the assignments, reports and class test. I could only remember that sometimes I really felt so stress and broke into tears in the midnight when I couldn’t finish all my work in time. Many nights I couldn’t sleep not because of insomnia, just because of the unfinished work and studies, I had to scarified my sleeping time. I even slept at 4.30am and wake up at 8am once because of one of the class test, really quite miserable that time. Leaving my hometown all the way here and staying alone is never an easy thing. I admitted I am a girl that easily get emotional and sometimes I felt home sick too. I remember that I almost want to give up once in the past just because feeling too stress but there is no “give up” this two words in my mindset. I’m stubborn and had never give up anything in my past, how can I just simply give up my studies just because of that little thing ? My mind flashback to few months ago, before I came to KL, how did I entered this course, why will I choosing this course, what am I dreaming for ? I forgot my dream, forgot my choice, forgot the nature of my heart …… I changed my mind after I went to a camp organized by Tzu Chi Collegiate Youth Association, this camp had totally change my mind toward my studies and also my mind, grateful that I have the opportunity to participate in this camp, it really had been a great experience.

 

Not to elaborate too much about the camp now, will surely tell u more about that after my coming exam. Semester 2 had been a more interesting and exposure to the field of nutrition compared to semester 1 which is quite a basic foundation. Studying this course your first interest must always be nothing than nutrition and food. But speaking honestly, I really dislike one of the module – analysis of food nutrition. I just really hate doing all the boring experiments which required long waiting time before get the result which I think is quite time-consuming. However, one of the subject that I love the most in this semester is lifespan nutrition. Although there are lots of fact to memorize but is actually quite interesting especially when come to pregnancy, lactation, breastfeeding and infancy. This module has somewhat broaden my knowledge and  I enjoy learning everything that related to pediatrics. But of course, we not just focus on pediatrics, lifespan is all about the life cycle from a person born to his dead. When come to middle age adult or elderly are kinda boring too but that are the basic knowledge we are require to know. Another new in this SEM is that we start entering the ND Lab which is a kitchen for our practical session. We baked cakes, muffins, cookies, pastries and many more, cooking sessions are always interesting and fun but not when comes to the reports :’(

 

Another module that I felt quite speechless is IT for health sciences. Before attending the class and the practical, I thought I’m quite expert with IT and computer things, but it really beat me down when come to database, C-Programming and HTML. I didn’t really learn all this skill before and don’t know anything about that, and well this coming Friday I’ll have my final IT class test. I have no idea on how to start the revision at all. God Bless me! I never think that before I could learn this additional skill in IMU although I can’t really see the relationship between to our course. Really thankful for giving me this opportunity … and I can’t wait to have a look of our final group IT project which is creating a website with html. Have a guess what is our group name and theme? Maybe u might find quite hilarious but our group KMT184.05 is the truth. If you’ve watched the recent most famous Korean drama “You Who Came from the Star”, then you surely will know what is that. And because of our chosen theme “COCOA BEANS”, therefore our webpage title will be “You Who Came form the Cocoa Star-KMT184.05”. I can’t imagine the lecturer expression when he saw our group name, but I think he wouldn’t know about the origin of our name, hopefully he don’t know or perhaps he also watched that drama? We even open an Instagram account and a Facebook page for our project. Luckily we have two friends in our group that are expert in IT, otherwise I can’t imagine what will be our result end like. Hopefully will be a pretty nice one and looking forward to it and a thousand million of thankiewsss to them !!!

 

This coming week will be my last week of study in SEM 2 before EOS, and is also quite a hectic week for all of us. Besides report and class test, we’ll have our Food Culture Day on this Thursday which is the highlight of SEM 2 project. I’ve been divided into Indonesia Food Culture group, seems like I’ve a special fate to Indonesia ? Hope that everything will be running smooth and successful. Beside that, we’ll having our final PBL (Problem-Based Learning) on Friday. Seems like new to that ? It is something like a small group discussion that consists about 10 students, we were given a trigger by the supervisor and discuss everything we found about the topic as much as you could, we’ll be given marks individually based on your communication skill and critical thinking. It’s like a speaking test in MUET but much for difficult than that as you know there all 10 people in a group and you have limited chances to speak out. So, it’s like a second world war rather than a discussion for me as you have to grab the opportunity in the right time to speak out. But I think I’ve did pretty badly in my first time even I have found a lots of information but didn’t have the chance to speak out more. Maybe this is the great opportunity for me to sharpen of communication skill and also the courage to speak out.

 

Well, I know I have been too wordy after writing for such a long winded post so I think I better stop writing now. I’ll have my final exam in two weeks time before having 3 months of SEM break, can’t looking forward to that! Will surely update more about the interesting stories with lots of photos in my SEM 2 after that, still have lots to express so please STAY TUNED till my comeback ! Thanks for my reader who bearing with me all the way here. Good night everyone with LOVE and have a great day ahead !!!
