Assalamualiakum and hello guys..

Hope all you guys in good health and always happy everyday. Do we realize or not, fasting month almost left us and it made us feel sad. During fasting month, too much sweet and bitter memories we have faced which taught us to be patient, not talking bad about other people, protect our eyes from looking bad things and others. But like it or not, fasting month still will left us and we really hope that we can meet it again for next year INSYALLAH (^_^). Now Eid ul-Fitr and Mid semester break is just around the corner. It means that holiday is coming after us but we still busy for Eid ul-Fitr preparation.

We also take this chances to meet relatives and make our relationship closer. Besides that, we are also helping our family to clean the whole house including painting. Some of us also attend some feast such as kenduri arwah after the iftar session. That is some of a positive thing that we done during the Mid-semester break.

Assalamualaikum to all our friends..

Did you remember what we promised on the previous post??? Yeah! We promised to tell you about World Hunger Facts and also some of the other ways to help ease world hunger. From the previous post, we know that not all people in this world can live happily with plenty of foods. This can be shown on what had happened to people in Somalia.

This little child getting thinner because of drought

Craving for food !

Thinking of his fate

Through this post, we would like to share about World Hunger Facts. There are some interesting facts that you can take notice, such as:

1. 1.02 billion people in the world are hungry. (UN Food and Agriculture Organization)
2. 1 billion people in the world live on less that $1 a day. (World Development Indicators 2007 - The World Bank)
3. 27 percent of children under 5 are moderately to severely underweight in the developing world. (State of the World's Children 2007 - UNICEF)
4. Nearly one in three people die prematurely or have disabilities due to poor nutrition and calorie deficiencies. ( Malnutrition - World Health Organization, WHO)
5. One in nearly seven people not get enough food to be healthy, making hunger and malnutrition the number one risk to health worldwide (UN World Food Programme)

They use this water in their daily life. Such a sad thing !

Waiting for food, food that makes them alive

As what we can see on the top, almost 1.02 billion of people around the world are hungry. What can we do to help them? To stop the number or hunger from increasing day by day? To make them live happily with a good health? There are so ways to help ease world hunger and here we would like to share some other ways to help them such as;

• Give money to worthy hunger-related organizations.
• Contribute to canned food drives or start one of your own by charging admission of a can food to your next social event. After the party, make sure your catered extra food goes to local hunger-relief agencies.
• Promote sustainable farming practices.
• Ensure access to micro-finance.
• Learn about the issues of hunger so that you can take more effective actions.

Look !! Why not if we help those hunger to improve their life's quality? Those ways can be used to reduce hunger and with our help, they can improve their life. 

Come on guys !! Lets start to help them. They have their right to live happily like us. 

What we can do to help ease world hunger? - Part 1

Assalamualaikum and hello there..

Now people are busy talking about Bazaar Ramadhan and Hari Raya that just around the corner. We should be proud to be Malaysians because we did not involved with poverty and hunger. We often heard about people’s desire to solve world hunger, or to be able to feed the world and help alleviate the suffering or things that associated with it.

However, the meaningful long-term alleviation to hunger is rooted in the alleviation of poverty, as poverty leads to hunger. World hunger is a terrible symptom of world poverty. If efforts are only directed at providing food, or improving food production or distribution, then the structural root causes that create hunger, poverty and dependency would still remain. And so while continuous effort, resources and energies are deployed to relieve hunger through these technical measures, the political causes require political solutions as well.

We can take an example of world's hunger problem which occurred in this world. Take a look at what had happened in Somalia. More than 11 millions of people are fleeing drought and famine in Somalia in search of food and water in refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia. The crisis has been brought on by a deadly combination of severe drought, with no rain in the region of two years, a huge spike in food prices and a brutal civil war in Somalia, where it is too dangerous for aid workers to operate and help the hunger.

Drought!!!

What did you feel when looking at this boy???

Pity them!

 Somalians are walking as far as 50 miles to reach the Dadaab complex in eastern Kenya which is the largest refugee camp in the world. The trek can take weeks through punishing terrain, which is desolate except for the carcasses that litter the land.

Children are suffering and so their mother too

Waiting for what? Food? Medical treatment?

Sadness shown up on this mother's face

Look at this poor little child ! Such a sad moment

People getting sick because of drought and hunger

What can you do to help this little child?

Thinking of his future

 Through this example of world hunger like in Somalia, what can we do to help ease world hunger?? There are many ways that we can use to ease world hunger such as:

• Influence public policy to support poor people.
• Get your employer to adopt a hunger-relief organization: encourage co-workers to volunteer; invite the organization to speak at work; publicize the organization's activities in your company newsletter.
• Empower people to create, stock and manage their own food banks at the community level.
• Contribute financially to reduce hunger and poverty.
• Work directly with poor people.
• Develop income-generating activities.

They are waiting for food !!

Que up for food !

That are some of the ways we can use to ease world hunger. Actually there are many other ways to ease world hunger because it depends on the individual or organization to do in their own ways. Till the next post, we are going to tell you more about World Hunger Facts and some of the other ways to help ease world hunger.

Goodbye~

How to overcome challenges during Ramadhan Part 2

Assalamualaikum and hello there..

From the previous post we have story to all you guys about the tragedy that occurs at Bazaar Ramadhan Jasin, Malacca. We hope that tragedy make us feel grateful and thankful to ALLAH because we still breathing until now (^_^). All right, for this post we want to story about how to overcome challenges during Ramadhan. Actually during Ramadhan, there are many challenges beside hunger and thirsty. We also have to conserve our eyes from looking the bad things (sexy girl), control our anger, not talking unnecessary matter like gossips and others (really hard to do actually).

As students in UnikL Micet that are hardly packed with classes not even during day time but night classes also proceed as usual. It was a very challenging to us. Actually, our timetable is not really packed but too many gaps between one class session to the next class session. Sometime to prevent from tired, we have to stay in library (pretend hardworking) or mosque (take chance to take a nap) to waiting for the next classes. We did not going back to hostel because we think it take too much energy especially in fasting month. Am I right about that?? I think so actually (^_^). Other than that, now in Malacca are quiet hot weather which make us really thirsty until sometime we have to take a bath 3 to 4 times in a day to keep fresh (makruh). We do not have to worry about the bill that always waiting for us at the end of the month because we already paid to Micet for 1 semester.

Hot day!!!

Really need that drop!!!

I think that's all for now because we need to finish up our assignments and lab reports. Quizzes are also waiting for us in this week. So stay tuned for the next entry from us. Assalamualaikum :-)

How to overcome challenges during Ramadhan? Part 1

Assalamualaikum.. Happy Fasting to all readers..

This week, we would like to share with all of you on "How to overcome challenges during Ramadhan". As University students which are busy with classes, lab works and assignments, we had to find the ways to overcome challenges during the Ramadhan and  also manage our time between  tiredness and studies. This is because during the Ramadhan, we are easily get tired and lack of energy to do other activities as usual.

Through the Ramadhan month, our timetable is packed just like the other month. There are no excuses for shorten the class duration from two hours class to one hour and cancelling all the night classes. Although it is Ramadhan and students get tired with their daily life routine, night classes still proceed as usual. Sometimes we did not have chances to go for Terawih because after iftar, we need to rush up for classes. Besides that, as Hari Raya Aidilfitri is just around the corner, lecturers are busy to give us tests and quizzes before going back for Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Due to this kind of situatuin, we need to manage our time properly so that we have enough energy to cover up all those activities including revision.What a tired life as a University student.

Till the next post, we will tell you how to overcome challenges during Ramadhan on the next post. We hope that all of you enjoy your fasting season happily. :)

The Unforgettable Tragedy

When the Ramadhan comes around, Bazaar Ramadhan is the most attracted place not even by Muslims but also by people from all walks of life. The situation was bustling with people and also with many kind range of people. Various type of dishes and colorful drinks can be found there like Nasi Kerabu, Ayam Perchik, Kathira, Laicikhang and etc. Below are some pictures snapped by us while at nearby Bazaar Ramadhan.

When people are busy talking about the exciting of Bazaar Ramadhan, do you remember or not about the unforgettable tragedy on 13 August 2010. On 13 August last year around 4.44 pm at Jasin, Malacca, the unexpected and unforgettable tragedy suddenly happened that made lots loss of sales by the traders at Bazaar Ramadhan. Two from the traders and one of the visitors were killed and about 17 people were badly injured after being smashed by the canopies during storm around the Stadium Jasin on the third day of fasting month. The traders that have been killed during the incident are Mahadi Mohamad, 40 years old from Kampung Gong Merang, Terengganu and Abdul bin Omar, 73 years old from Kampung Air Merbau. The visitors that being killed is Muhammad bin Wahab, 49 years old from Kampung Rim. We would like to share some of the pictures and one of the video about the tragedy;

Life as a Bachelor Student in MICET Part 2

sample

Assalamualaikum..

Hope you guys in a good health and always cheers. Here we are, fasting month comes again this year (^_^). So how are your fasting period?? Is it good or the other side?? I hope its good right?? Its look like this year we  are fasting in MICET again which is far from home. Actually fasting with family is a bit different compared fasting with friends. This is because at home, mom will prepared everything for "suhoor" and "iftar" and wake us in the early morning for "suhoor". The situation is different when we are at MICET because we have to prepare our own dishes (eg: Maggi) and have to set the watch to wake up in the early morning . Sometime , we missed our "suhoor" (it's secret ok??).

Actually I realized that we are out of the topic now. So back to the main story, we will continue the life of bachelor student in MICET as promised before. For the first week we didn't attend any classes while our friends from other courses are packed with classes. We didn't mean to skip the class for the first week. All this happened because of there is a bit messy with the management in ASRA about subjects registration, credit transfer, timetable still not fixed and others. The staffs in ASRA working "hardly" to fix back the problem .We love ASRA" (^_^). After one week, all the problems have been solved and we got our timetable but not the real timetable. So many subject need to be rearranged back due to the subjects which are clashing.  On the second week, finally we got our real timetable which mean that is the beginning of our classes. For this semester we take 7 subjects and have three KILLER subjects which are Chemical Engineering of Thermodynamics, Process Heat Transfer and Physical Chemistry (sometime feel like to drop those subjects).

So now we have to leave because night class will be begin in about an hour from now. So stay tuned for further story from us. "Happy Break Fasting" and don't forget for "Terawih" ok! :-)

Life as a Bachelor Student in MICET Part 1

Assalamualaikum and hello guys...

Welcome back to Unikl MICET as a bachelor student's level. Actually we didn't imagined that we can reach up to this level..do you??we still remember the challenges and pressure we faced during diploma level with assignments, laboratory reports and so on. Sometime felt like to jump from the top of the mountain to release the stress (just kidding). But now, believe it or not we are bachelor students in UNIKL MICET.

Ok back to the main story, our journey as a bachelor student started with a very hectic week especially during the registration day. Do you know why? Too many student lined up for registration with the Multipurpose Hall's condition which is quiet "cold" until it made us sweat and not comfortable. This hectic week became "better" with the shortage of water supply at the hostel but this situation made us to be strong to survive. The good news is almost all the MSR programmes have been cancelled (HOREYY (^_^).

Since we are as the new students,(but i think not actually) room are randomly given. We didn't know who are our roommates but we took this as an opportunity for us to know other person and make them friends. When we entered the room, we realized that we are the first person arrived in that room. So we chose our bed near the windows and start to tidy up our stuffs. Three of our roommates arrived and tidy up their stuffs. They are quite shy and timid and believe it or not, after one hour, our room became noisy just like a morning market and this remind us about the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" (^_^).

I think this is enough for now because a lot of assignments and tutorials are lined up . So stay tuned for the next story from us..INSYALLAH :-)

CaMpUs LiFe

Malaysian Institute of Chemical Engineering Technology is one of the branches of University Kuala Lumpur and it is located in Alor Gajah, Malacca. The specialization course here is Chemical Engineering Technology. The registration for the new student is on July semester which took place at Multipurpose Hall which began at 9.00 at the morning and end up at 12 on the afternoon. There are five courses offered for diploma and bachelor level which are Chemical Engineering Technology in Food, Polymer, Process, Bioprocess and Environment. Besides that, Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Biosystem is also offered for bachelor level.

For new students, orientation session is organized so that they became familiar with the campus’s environment. The orientation week which is organized by facilitators consists of lots of activities and games. They are also introduced to the Dean, Deputy Dean and also other staffs. Students also are brought to go around the campus’s area and get to know all the buildings which consist of administration department, academic affairs department, laboratories and classes.

After the whole week of orientation session, students started to attend classes according to their timetable. Life as a student is a bit busy. Students have to manage their life and studies through a hectic day. Everyday they mingle around with friends and other students for study group and other activities. Café is a good place where students can meet their classmates and friends. They can do their study group to finish up assignments, mini projects and also laboratory reports. That is the campus life faced by student's everyday in their life; compete with friends and others to get more knowledge and worked together to finish up their assignments and reports.
