Today afternoon around 2:30p.m, my friends and I went to industrial trip to RTM, KUCHING. This trip is organized by the CPA Australia Student Charter (Swinburne Sarawak) and this trip is only for students who had joined the CPA Australia Student Charter (Swinburne Sarawak). It is free of charge but the places are limited. The committee use the first come first served basis for the members to register for the trip. Luckily, my friends and I got the change to visit the RTM. When we arrive there, we have been invited to a small meeting room for some explanation by the senior management worker. He brief about the way they work, place and some about the RTM station in Sarawak. After that, he asks his staff t bring all of us to the recording department for visiting. This is the first time I see how they recording the program for coming Gawai festival, how they work place and many others. After the visiting, we take picture in front of the main building and then we go back to our university. Due to my laptop Bluetooth got some problem, I can’t upload the pictures that I have taken this afternoon. I only can find the RTM logo in internet so I only upload it and the rest will upload after repair the bluetooth.

Mother's Day

This morning the church that I went had celebrated the mother day. In Malaysia, people will celebrate the mother day in the second Sunday of the May. This year is the second time that I not celebrate with my mum. This is because in this two I need study and I can’t go back to sibu. In this day, I will think that how my mum sacrifices everything for me from the day I born until today even until my old age. However, sometime I still not really appreciate what she had done for me and I still complaining here and there. Mum, for me you are the best mum in this world. I know sometime I not really heard your advice or do the thing that you don’t like. Anyways, in here I want to say happy mother's day to you and I love you so much.

MY OM Project Showcase

Just now I went to the OM tutorial class. At the tutorial class, we had a project showcase to do. According to the subject outline, we need work as a team. However, I got a leader who is really KNS!!! SHE only knows to speak everything but the thing she said she never do it!!! The thing that made me most angry is that she won’t accept any idea and everything we done she only know to complain here and there. Today, I also have faced a problem that let me really to think whether I really suitable to become a leader, assistant or treasurer and committee member for one club in future.

The problem is about printing the brochures, bookmarks and note books. Last Saturday, two of tutorial or group members and I go to printing shop to print the things. As I known the leader has assigned the printing job to one of the member who brings me to printing shop. However, during today tutorial other group members said we print too much and the cost is too high and many others. They always argue here and there and they waste one hour for discuss about it.

This problem had made me very disappointed with myself and let me start to think many things. The thing that I think during that time is am I suitable become the leader or holding any post again in my future. This is because I can say that I have many experiences in this part. This is because during my secondary time, I always become committee member or leader when altar server and legion Mary had organized any activity. Besides that, I had become the president or other position for many years no matter it is in school or church. Even my church senior or my Superior said I can become good leader in future because when the problem comes I always can solve it. It may be by the help of other friends at that time. However when today case they only know to said it or blame people, this may be make me ‘patah semangat’. I think from today I really need to think whether I suitable to hold any position again in future. After today case, I think I won't hold any position again in my future.

A Different Labour day!!!!
