Reflection (Week 10)

Assalamualaikum and hi !

     On this week, we just continue on our latest assignments which is the homepage, and also the digital story telling. For me, I gave more focus on the homepage since this week is the due week for us to submit the assignment. So, Nabilah and I decided to finish it earlier so that we can focus on other work such as finishing the script writing since digital story telling is a tougher job to do.

     We used Weebly to create our homepage. The topic, or the thing that we decide to sell or promote as our own product is bridal dresses. We decided to create a homepage that will provides information and sells collection of bridal dresses. It was quite hard since we need to find a lot of pictures and we also need to mak e a research about different materials and fabrics. But somehow we managed to do it, and we managed to create the homepage, with our own brand which is Bellasjasmine. You can click here - Bellajasmine Bridal Collections to visit the page.

     It was really interesting to create our own brand, and we need to be really creative in managing our own page that will promote our product. It was also very funny because we had a lot of ideas, following our own imaginations. Even the page is not really interesting or look like it was created by an expert, but we really satisfied with our own efforts. It was not an easy job to do.

     We have submitted the homepage and I feel relieved that another assignment was completed. Now, I am focusing on finishing the script and also we were planning to start the shooting of our digital story telling. We were also started to focus on our blogs, since Miss Amreet did the surprise review on our blogs in the class ! I felt quite embarrassed because when Miss Amreet checked my blog in front of other classmates, and same things she did with all my classmates' blogs, because I did not updated much on my blog. So we were asked to update our blog so that it will not burden us when we have to submit the assignments in the blog.

Reflection (Week 9)

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone !

     On week nine, we continued our class as usual, with lectures and assignments. We have submitted and finished a few assignments. Prezi presentation, interactive resume, and web advertisement. We have  a few assignments left which are homepage, digital story-telling and lastly completing our personal blog, this blog.

     On this week, we focused on our homepage and also the digital story-telling. Since the blog is an assignment that we need to complete continuously, we can just finished it one by one according to requirements for the blog contents.

      For the homepage, it was also a pair work assignment. And this time, we just need to stick with our previous pair so I was paired with Nurul Nabilah Baba. I like doing work with her since we can cooperate together and do the work well together. For the homepage, there were also few choices of platform that we can choose to create our own homepage and to promote a product or any things that we wanted to sell as our own product and we need to submit it on week 10. For this homepage, we choose to use Weebly, as it is really a simple platform to create a homepage. Thanks to Fatin Zalikha, our classmates who suggested Weebly to us.

     Besides that, we also started to discuss about our biggest, most challenging assignment, which is digital story-telling. For this assignment, we work in a group of four. My group members are Zarwani, Lyana Natasha, Nurul Nabilah and I. We need to create our own story and present it on week 13. So we decided to create a simple story, just like a video blogger. We thought the idea would be fine as long as we include all the requirements for digital story telling which are pictures, videos and audios. But when we showed the idea to Miss Amreet for her approval, she said that our idea would be boring and she wanted something more interesting. 

     So we came out with another idea and this time, we got Miss Amreet approval. We create our own story, and for me it seems quite hard to do but I know we would be able to do it together. So we started to divide our part and tasks, and I became the scriptwriter for this story and I am still working out on the script with help from all my friends. I am looking forward to this story to finish!

Reflection (Week 8)

Assalamualaikum and hi to everyone !

     This week, we were actually just got back from our hometown for our Eid Mubarak holiday. We got almost two weeks holiday and we were still in our holiday mood. But, assignments are still assignments. It is our priorities so we need to complete all the assignments on time.

     On this week, we focused on our interactive resume assignment. We were asked to create an online resume using any resume platform. We need to make it interactive an interesting since the resume is going to promote and represents ourselves and our expertise. Miss Amreet told us some platforms that we can use to do the resume. They are Opresume and Wix. These two websites are quite easy and simple to use.

      For this interactive resume, I decided to use Opresume as my platform. Opresume is a very simple and easy platform that allowed me to create my own resume based on my own creativity, or I can just use the templates provided. It is also free, so I can just register it for free without any payment and I can just sign up using my Facebook account, it makes thing easier for me to complete the assignment.

     It was a simple assignment and for me it should be easy to complete the assignment. But somehow, I was not really know how to promote myself, and I do not know how to explain my expertise so it became quite hard for me to finish this resume. Fortunately I managed to submit this assignment on time and I also got new knowledge in doing resume for my future career appliance. 

Reflection (Week 7)

Assalamualaikum and hi to everyone. 

     For week seven, we just continue the class with lectures and our assignment. We focus on Web Advertisement since the due date is on Friday, week seven. We need to submit the advertisement before we go back for Eid Mubarak holiday.

     Nabilah and I choose Powtoon as our platform to do the advertisement. At first, we drew out the main things that we wanted to insert in our advertisement. The purpose of the advertisement is to promote the Diploma in English programme in UPSI and attract people to join the programme. We decided to include the benefits of joining the programmes. We also include all the courses that have been provided under Diploma in English programme.

     For me, inserting the information was not the tough part in this assignment. The harder part was when we are treasuring the Powtoon. It was our first time using the Powtoon so we had to discover everything by ourselves. It was quite hard to understand all the functions in Powtoon but somehow we tried all the functions one by one. Me managed to understand all the functions and we also managed to finish the advertisement in quite short time and submitted it in Wikispaces.

     But unfortunately when I was in class on Wednesday, I have heard some of my classmates asking Miss Amreet about contents that we must put in our advertisement and I found out that our advertisement has left out a few things of the contents so we need to edit it again. It was really hard to edit the advertisement in a short time but gladly I managed to do it. Here is our advertisement, you can click here to watch ! 

     It was quite a hard task for us since it was our first time doing the advertisement but I’m glad that we had the experience and it will be useful for all of us if we would need to do anything that related to the platform again in future. 

Reflection (Week 6)

Assalamualaikum and hi to all.

     On sixth week, we still continue with some people left with Prezi Presentation. But on Monday, I did not attend the class because of the Nuzul Quran’s leave on Tuesday. Since I was in hometown, I skipped the Monday class so I did not listen to the few last Prezi Presentation by my friends.

     On Thursday, I went to class as usual and we were asked about the attendance on Monday since there were many of us skipped the class without any valid reason. We continue the class with Miss Amreet explaining about another assessment which is web advertisement. It was a pair work assignment. I got into pair with Nurul Nabilah Baba.

     We were asked to do a web advertisement, promoting the Diploma in English programme. We needed to create the advertisement using any platform that we prefer. We were asked to include certain things in order to promote the programme, to attract readers to join the Diploma in English programme in Sultan Idris Educational University. Nabilah and I decided to use Powtoon as our platform. It is an interesting platform to create a simple yet interactive advertisement. 

      We decided to use Powtoon because it seems really cute with many cartoons and animations and I know we would be able to create an interesting advertisement yet it is quite simple to use. But somehow we need to treasure this application by ourselves since it was our first time using it but for me it would be an interesting and valuable experience. If I were asked what platform that I will use to create an interesting advertisement, I will surely suggest Powtoon !

Reflection (Week 5)

Assalamualaikum and hi to everyone !

      On Monday, we continued with the Prezzi presentation. On this day, a few people volunteered to present their topic and fortunately I managed to present my own topic as the last person for that day presentation. I presented about Korean Traditional Games or in Korea they call it as “Jeontongnori”. At first when I started my presentation, as I mentioned my presentation topic, all my classmates said that they had no idea about my topic. It became more interesting since they were wondering what was “Jeontongnori”.

 For my topic, there were three games that I have chosen to highlight in my presentation. I chose these three games because I think they were easy to be played at home and the rules of the games are very simple to be understood. I focused on certain basic information for all the games such as the history and way to play the games. I have chosen Ddakji, Alkkagi and Yutnori. I explained all the steps and rules in playing the games using pictures and also videos. But for the last game which was Ddakji, I prepared the Ddakji disk, the disk that is needed to play the game, and I show how to play the game by myself in front of the class. Even I was very nervous at first but I managed to control my nervousness because I was so excited to share the games with my classmates.

The presentation continued on Wednesday and there were many people managed to present their topic. One of the topic that I found interesting was about Korean Cuisine presented by Lyana Natasha. Since the topic got related with Korea same with my topic, I was really interested in the Korean Cuisine that she had showed us. 

Many people presented on this week but somehow we did not manage to finish all the presentation so the rest of presentations were continued in the following week.

Reflection (Week 4)

Assalamualaikum and hi !

        In the fourth week, the Prezi presentation had started. Miss Amreet asked for any volunteers to present their topic rather than calling our name. The first person who volunteered was Nuraminah Rashid. She presented on the topic Face. She told us about different types of skin and problems that usually faced by person according to different types of skins due to usage of products. She also told us how to make our own mask that is good for our skin problems.

        Next presenter that presented an interesting topic was Nur Anis Aimi. She presented about lipstick and the information that she had shared with us was very interesting and it became a new knowledge. She told us about the substances that has been used to produce lipstick. She also shared the suitable colours of lipstick on different person with different skin colours as well as tips to make our lipstick last longer. 

There were many interesting topics that had been presented by my classmates on that day. But there was one topic which I found really interesting. It was about 'Bucket List' presented by Nur Syahira Anuar. She showed us about what is bucket list and the reason that we need to have a bucket list ! It seemed really interesting because it will be the things that we really want to do at least once in our life.

My Friends

      

         Friend in need is a friend indeed. This quote is very familiar for a good friendship that we have in our life. Besides having my family, I am very grateful for being surrounded with many people that I consider as friends. We call people who are close to us as our friends but we usually have some of them that are very close which we call them as our best friends. One once said that “true friendship is more precious than rubies”. Throughout my life, I have known many people and some of them, got special place in my life.

First person that I consider as my best friend is Nur Ezzaty or commonly called as Zaty. She lives in front of my house. We have known each other since we were small and for me, she was the first one who I call as my friend when I was about 3 years old. Since she lives in front of my house, we are very close to each other and I spend most of my time with her. Since kindergarten, we studied at the same place. We also went to the same primary and secondary school but somehow we did not manage to pursue our study together after we finished our SPM. She is a very out-going person and she is very funny and usually she will create laugh with her spontaneous action. Even we have separated in different ways but today, I can still call her as my best friend because whenever we have free time, we will spend time together and we will share any interesting stories that happened to us as same as we always did before.

My next dearest friend that I really love is Nur Effah Nabilah but I just call her Bayah. She is actually my cousin, but we started to get close to each other when we were in secondary school since we got into the same class. For me, Bayah is really a true friend. She was always there through my ups and my downs and she always make her surrounding become cheerful with her cheerful attitude. She is very friendly to everybody and she makes new friend easily because of that. We were very close when we were in school but unfortunately after PMR, she transferred into another school. Since then we rarely meet due but we always make sure that we contact each other and we will try to find the right time to meet and hang out together when we are both free.

The last person that I consider as my closest friend is Nurul Nabilah Baba. I just call her Bella. I have known her for about a year and half. We met each other during registration day in Dewan Kolej Ungku Omar. I have never thought that she would become my roommate and today, my best friend. First time seeing her, I assumed that she was not really friendly. But when I got to know her, I knew that I was absolutely wrong. She is a very talkative person and she is very cheerful. She loves to laugh nonstop and sometimes I did not understand the reason she laughed that much. She is a person who loves sport too much and I know that sports is her passion. She joined many tournament representing UPSI and I can see how much she loves to be part of it. Even we have known not too long but for me, she is the one who always stand with me whenever I laugh or whenever I cry.

Family is a gift, and friendship, is also part of it. Friends can be found everywhere but true friends, are rarely found. A person who got true friends is really lucky but a person who do not appreciate the friendship is really ungrateful person. I am really grateful for their existence as a part of my life and I really hope that we can remain this friendship forever as one of the best thing ever gifted in my whole life.

My Family

     

       Family are the ones who related to you whether biologically or non-biologically. Certain people think that people who are close to them, automatically will be called as part of their family. As for me, I have a small family members, there are only four of us which is my father, my mother, my youngest brother and me. 

First important person in my family which I respect the most is my beloved father. His name is Mohd Jifri bin Saidin and now he is 45 years old. He is working as a supervisor in a resort as well as the camp for Program Latihan Khidmat Negara(PLKN). Personally, my father is a strict person. Since my brother and I were kids, he had been really strict about our education and our lifestyle. When we grow up, he becomes more lovely but somehow he still take care of us strictly. He really loves to pamper us, both of his children and he will try his best to give things that we need. He might look fierce for people that do not have the chance to know him but once they get to know him, they will know that he is a very out-going person and he is a person with attractive personality.

The second one is my lovely mother. My mother is a person that I really respect in my life. Her name is Rogiah Binti Awang Kechik. She is 42 years-old. My mother owns her own restaurant and she has been working on it for about 2 years. Back then, she worked at the school canteen as a cook and after so many years working with people, she decided to open her own business. My mother is a very lovely person. As my father, she also loves to show her love by pampering us but she is very strict whenever we did any mistake. She has been working hard for our family. Cooking has become her passion and she is very good in cooking. In the same time, she is a very capable woman. She is never afraid to try anything new and she loves to challenge herself. For me, she is the bravest person in my life.

The third important person in my life is my one and only brother.  His name is Muhammaf Fitri Bin Mohd Jifri but I call him Ayie. He is now 18 years old and currently studying in Kolej Keda in Sik, Kedah. My brother is an outgoing person and he loves to tease people especially me. He is very close to me because I am his only sibling. Since we were kids, I am really strict with him even though he is my only brother because I do not want him grow up being someone who cannot stand on his own feet. Even I am being fierce with him but we shared almost everything together and we become best friend in the house due to the tiny gap between our ages. He is a good and humble person and I believe that he will success in his life with this kind of attitude.

For me, family is the most important gift that have been given to me. I have shared many things in my life, with my own family. They are my family but in the same time, they are also my best friend. I am very grateful for having such a happy family. Even I am now being apart from them, but they are the ones that I keep thinking in my daily life and I hope that this happiness will remain until the end of my life.

Reflection (Week 3)

       For week three, we were all busy with preparing for the Prezi presentation. As for myself, I started to do my slides on Prezi and putting all the information I have got from certain sources. As for my topic I have decided to present about three popular traditional Korean games instead of five as I planned earlier because I realized that the duration of the presentation should not be too long. I decided to share about alkkagi, yutnori and ddakji, which is very popular among Koreans.

In week three, Miss Amreet also had started with blog. We were explained about blog, platforms to create blogs and also ways of using blogs. We were given some choices of platforms, for example Blogger and Wordpress. I have chosen Blogger as my platform since I had the experience managing my own personal blog so I have been used to Blogger and it became easier for me to create and to update my blog.

       We were ask to update about certain things on blogs according to weekly assessment. For example, we need to update our weekly reflection and also some simple essay such as Myself, My Family and My Friend. I did not facing many problems in completing my blog since I am used to it. I posted the Week One Reflection, Week Two Reflection and also the essay on the topic Myself. In reflection, I wrote about everything I have been doing in class for that particular week and the essay on the title myself, I wrote anything that related to myself and my background.

Mostly, I was busy practicing for my presentation because Miss Amreet told us that we would start the presentation and I hope that I can do well in upcoming presentation.
