Complete Chapter 3, and basically in chapter 3 Dr. Swartz suggests the third secret to success which is to "Destroy your fear". Fear is like an enemy to our success, therefore it is very important to take out the fear from oneself. He suggested it well with a story how a navy practise to destroy fear, by jumping from a bridge to the sea. The navy is forced to jump the bridge from a height of several feets to the water. Some of them able to do that and some aren't. This reminded me of my own story when i when to the Tunas Samudera last February. During the training before we are qualified to join the tunas Samudera, we have a 3 days training at Pulau Pangkor. The second day, all the trainees including me, we have to climb an old bridge around 20over feets above sea, and we need to countdown and start jumping to the water. Most of my friends managed to do that easily although with half hearted. Everytime when it reach to my queue, i step backward and lets my friend do so. and when it time to my turn, I embraced my chest with both my hands, with left hand on my right shoulder and right hand on my left shoulder. I couldn't swim (actually this is the skill that I haven't gained. Everytime when my son teach me the lesson, I just could not hold my breath. Not even for 60 seconds. My husband used to teach me too, but i think he must have giving up, coz of my incapability in this skill.
During the jumping, I can see my friends are waiting in the water, just to save me in case I am drowning. Choong and Syikin (the trainers) are both my friends. I know both of them have the life saver certificate, and I'm very sure, they can save me. But I just couldn't jump just like that. So the instructor ask me to countdown like the others. I start counting, "3000, 2000, 1000". And I'm suppposed to jump after final counting 1000, but I couldn't have the gut to jump. why must this be so hard on me.
I started counting again, but this time with "3000, 2000, 1000" and I ended up my counting with "Tolak Tuan", meant that I want the trainer to forcely pushing me down. There you go. Very big splash in the water. Luckily I'm still alive. It not, I couldn't posting my blog here.
The issue here is, I don't think by jumping from a high level place down to the water can be a measurement to our confidence level. But what they said to those who couldn't have the gut to jump from high place down to the water, possess less confidence level". Should I agree with that.
I have my own way of measuring my confidence level. And that's is so true. Continue later...

The important of think positively
“The magic of thinking big” by Dr David J. Schwartz, a college professor in Georgia State University, Atlanta is a very fine, inspiring and interesting book to read. In the book he reveals several secrets to success. As by the writer what he meant by success are when you are able to gain personal prosperity. And this is varies from the strength of your financial, the power and influence, the ideal job satisfying and an enjoyable life.
I managed to finish chapter one yesterday. Basically the first chapter is about a belief to succeed. And if we set to believe to be able to succeed and there will be a bigger probability that we will success in whatever our doing. I do agree with what the writer said about the personal prosperity. Except that for me I would sort the items in my own way of defining success in life. As a muslim, of course I wanted to committed my entire life to perform my duty to Allah. And major hope that Allah will bless my right doing and if it happened that if I accidently doing the wrong thing, Allah will give guidance to me so that my life will be much blessing and with this blessing I believe I will gain the personal prosperity. And as an educator, the financial strength as mentioned by the writer is not the yard stick to measure my success. If I really wanted to gain prosperity in term of financial security, I wouldn’t have chosen educator as my career. No doubt I do agree that a fine home (I’m grateful to have one), a loving and caring husband, obedient, healthy and cheerful daughter and sons have proved that I am actually now am enjoying the life given to me.
Dr. Schwartz did emphasize the important of having positive thinking and positive attitude. Our mind is very vital influence to the thinking and positive attitude. He did state that our mind is our thought factory and this factory has two foremen which is Mr Triumph and Mr Defeat. Hmm our mind will give signal to the foremen to do work. If we set the positive things then it will signal Mr Triumph and if we set negative things then, it will signal to the Mr. Defeat. As a human, I always trying to have a belief to positive thinking and always strive toward it. However, as proverb says “Hope for the best but expect for the worse”. Thought I will strive harder towards the success, but I must prepare myself to accept for the worse. And it doesn’t mean that I expect for the worse. All my effort will bring me the success and usually when we set to success, it wills success. I remember last time, before I planned to further to my second degree, my worries has risen, keep on asking, “Can I continue, can I focus on studying because my age at that time is already 34 to 35 years old”. But I’ve set very deep, very high to complete the study and even I was given a duration of two years to complete my study, I managed to complete in one an half year. And believe it or not, my CGPA is not bad at all. However I must say that all this success wouldn’t come without the support of people I loved surrounded me. I get the encouragement from them. And don’t forget to mention without the support from the government I wouldn’t achieve the second degree in my life.
And lately I was given two classes to handle. The first class, I have combinations of student from different races while the other classes consists of malay student. As usual, when it comes to the jargons in Information Technology subject, I can’t avoided using the English terms thought the class is conducted in malay but some of the term in IT, remains the usage of English terms. One of the class would preferred me to teach in mixed language, which is English and malay. But the other class is so phobia to English. When they encountered English word, they sort of holding back. I always emphasised to them, that this class is ICT class, and I don’t want language is to be the barrier for them to gain as much knowledge and skills in ICT. What I advised them is everytime you come to my class, don’t forget to bring along your dictionary coz, it might come in handy. And I do teach them, how to get the translation when they are stuck with it. And I feel that I have the responsibility to embedded the confidence level in them. Some of them have very good result in SPM, but when it comes to English, they sort of less confidence. I do mentioned to them, that if they can have very good result in Bahasa Arab, which is also a language, then they shouldn’t have difficulty in English. I urge them to practise more and more. And I even encouraged them to talk in English if possible. Do Set the believe that language is not the barrier for you to gain as much knowledge and skill in the technology. If you put the belief, then I’m sure you will success and each time you have difficulty, you know where to resolve. As mentioned also in Dr Swartz writing that, in his story to choose between a person with high IQ and can memorize better and to a person with a less IQ but have the skill in solving problems, he would rather choose the later. Hmm this one I kind a agree with him. Coz, nowadays if we want to get informations, we can use technology, “Just in time”.
So much for chapter one, we move toward chapter two. This chapter suggest some cure to excusitis. Excusitis is actually the failure to disease. The writer lists four common excuses which are health, intelligence, age and luck excuses. Some people give excuse to success due to their lack of health, or less intelligence, or too old or too young and problem on bad luck. The writer gives several suggestions to recover and cure the listed excuses given. It is very interesting in how he related the excuses with the real life situation that he encountered and the suggestions for curing the excuses.

Read, read and read
This morning I attended a presentation by the practical student from uitm, Loqman and Hamdi. Actually there were presenting a system called e-sismi. Actually this system has been developed previously by our polytech (polimas) Hafiz, Firdaus and Ahtar. The system they presented is actually a revised to the old system and enhancing some of the utilities. ehm, again that's not the main point thing to tell here. It's just a started of my next paragraph telling.
After the presentation me and the panels(sort of), our timbalan Tn. Hj. Hashim, krie (our KUKP), Mahanee the system user, and both En. Faisal and Tn. Hj. Azizan (a.k.a) the supervisor for both of the trainees there were invited to join a small invitation (tea break - but it turn out to be lunch!!... lots of durians etc) in the library. And again this is not the thing i wanna share here.
Okay the purpose of this writing is to mentioned that accidently i found a good book in the library (of course it is a good book coz it has been one of the top seller book. Don't have to mentioned, most of you must have read this book by Dr David J. Schwartz titled "The magic of thinking big". I started browsing the front cover and the back cover, nothing enchanted me, but yet as i slipped through the first four pages, i begun to like it. The words, the sentences is so simple and easy to understand. So i decided to borrow the book.
And since it happened so, i promise myself i'll keep posting the review of the book, phase by phase to be shared among those who are interested.
Gotta go first, need to perform my zohor sholat, and later attending a function in the Dewan Zaaba. Actually the function is for "The Majlis Persaraan Pn. Hajah Nor'aini", a very senior lecturer here in IPG KDA.
to be continued.

A come back
Wow, it has been nearly a year i skipped composing any news on my blog. Blamed it to Mark Zuckerberg. After the existance of facebook, i rarely visit my blog. Facebook has been a phenomena several years back and it has of course affecting me. As so called a social network, i appreciate the effort. Just like the "jejak kasih", i was able to make contact to old friends that i never imagine i can meet again. Some of them from my ex-primary school(SKPC). A very old school in my village, but yet has produced so many successful career men and women. What i heard lately the school has become one of the most preferabble school by parents in the town. Proud of that. I even able to meet some of my friends from my secondary school (MRSM KT). I'm so surprised also, coz i couldn't imagine able to see again my former teachers via online.
Oops got an appointment, i'll be back.
Oops got an appointment, i'll be back.

Hari Raya Celebration in IPGM Kampus Darulaman
Hi,
Nearly a month, i haven't update anything here. Life is so busy lately. After the ISO fever is over, then the camping fever, and finally the result submission fever. Completely done with it, so i grab this opportunity to upload some photos during the hariraya celebration at my college. I was very frustrated, coz my handphone memory really cause me some troublesome. After taking several photos, and suddenly the memory cause me headache and frustration. Only 2 photos can definitely be rescued. I tried to browse the internet regarding the problem, and everywhere i saw comments that my type of sony ericson c910 have some problem with the original memory. Last year when i bought that sony i though it should be okay, because the model has been used in james bond 007 movie, but it wasn't work very well for me. So last week i decide to get another memory and this time i didn't choose the original sony type, but another brand. I got one month warranty for that.. And it's still in good condition till this moment. The previous one couldn display the video very well, but this one it's seems very okay. hopefully....
Some of the photos i wanted to share are:
Photo of me and some of my mentees.

Simple Chocolate Cake
Hi,
After being so delighted with my first banana cake, I decided to bake another one. Except that this time, there is no more banana in the house. I accidently found my small note book, in my handbag, I slipped through one recipe written few weeks back. This recipe, I got from one of my friend from Science Social Department, Jah. When I saw everybody else keep writing the recipe, I also did the same. Who knows, if i have the time later, i might be able to make the cake too.
Thanks to her, I finally found the recipe in the small note book, and yesterday, after coming back from the office, I dropped by the K-Ceria, a small supermarket or a minimarket, because it's so small if compared with other big size supermarket. Get some cocoa powder, baking chocolate, some soda bicarbonate, flour and daisy corn oil.
Later that night i prepared the cake, and to share with everybody, I listed out some of the ingredients required for the cake preparation. It's so easy, even my 12 year old daughter can make it.
Steam Chocolate Cake Recipes
1. 1 cup of cocoa powder
2. 1 cup of corn oil ( I used daisy)
3. 1 1/2 cup od flour
4. 1 cup of fine sugar ( I used icing sugar, because it's less sweet)
5. 1 tin of ideal milk
6. 1 tea spoon of baking powder
7. 1 tea spoon of soda bicarbonate ( I don't know why we need both of these, baking and soda, does it make any different)
8. a little bit of salt.
How
1. Mixed everything well.
2. Pour everything in the pan (put some oil around the pan, to avoid the cake stick to pan)
3. Steam for one hour. (I was too lazy to steam, so I just baked it in the oven for about 45 minutes with 190 degree)
4. After it's already baked, boil some chocolate (use double boiler), and pour all the chocolate on the cake.
5. While the chocolate topping is still hot, decorate it with some colourful rice chocolate)
6. Call everybody in the house, slice into small pieces, then eat. Everybody can eat, remember that there is no egg in the ingredients.
So, easy. My children already asked me to bake another cake, the same type this coming wednesday night, because there is a hariraya celebration at their school, on thursday, and they want to share the marvelous, delicious, creamy chocolate cake with their friends.
That's for now.

Banana Cake
Hi, Happy Eid. Salam Aidil Fitri.
The festive mood is still around although the hari raya celebration has already ended. My family and me were just coming back from kampung after spending a week holiday in my beloved hometown, inconjunction with the hari raya festival. The day when we drove back to hometown in Kelantan, we were very fortunated because not much traffic on the road. The journey that we usually spend around 5 to 6 hours, has been cut short to approximately less than four hours. I don't know how it happened, since I slept all the way, only once in a while I opened my eyes, and without I realised it, my eye lids closed again. Since that day was a fasting day in ramadhan month, so my husband was driving non-stop starting from my house in Jitra through out the way to my hometown in a small village in Pulai Chondong. Usually, we have to stop for a coffee break and even my children will have the opportunities to practise their swimming and diving skills in one of the river somewhere in Perak. But, since that day was a fasting day in ramadhan, obviously we didn't need to make any stop until we reached our destination.
All the way, we witnessed several road accidents. Somewhere in Grik, a car was upside down, and not long after that several cars bumped to each others, and the others, I didn't remember coz obviously I was sleeping when that occured. Alhamdulillah, we were safely arrived.
Now, I was back in Jitra again, after splendidly, spending our precious holiday moment. And today is my working day again. The normal routine goes on again.
Yesterday, I did bake a banana cake to bring to the office.This is the first time I baked a banana caked, yes I admit, I have eaten some banana cakes several times, and watching my sister preparing and baking the cake, but yet never did it with my own hand.
The recipe is so simple( I got this recipe from my sister), what I need is
1. Banana - the most important ingredients, a must have, if this is omitted, then we couldn't afford to have a banana cake. My sister said it is better if i used the kapas type, but what i have only the berangan type. Since i got the berangan type, and since my husband loves to eat banana cakes very much, then i made an effort to prepare this.
2. 2 cups of flours
3. 1 cup of sugar
4. 1 cup of condensed milk. I think we can also use fresh milk coz it is less sweet.
5. 1 cup or corn oil
6. a table spoon of soda bicarbonate( only a table spoon, and not a spoon that sized a table)
7. a table spoon of ovellete. (When i prepare the cake, i don't have the ovellete, so i just replaced it with vegetable spread)
8. Don't forget 3 eggs. Make sure only the eggs not the chicken.
9. A little bit of salt. Since i'm not using butter or margerine so i need salt
10. Several drops of vanilla essence. Luckily i got the several last drops in the freeze.
Mix all the ingredients well. Then baked at 180 - 200 degrees arround 30 to 40 minutes. Depends, you have to always poke the cake with fork to make sure it's already baked. (that what i did)
Finally, i have made my very own first banana cake. It taste very good, moist but quite sweet. May be next time i will reduce the amount of the sugar from one cup to three quarter cup. Or may be, the cup that i used should be smaller in size. I guess.
The ingredients amount as mentioned able to produce 2 medium size banana caked. I slices some and packed for my son to bring to his school.
I brought the banana cake to the office, and it's not bad at all. From a full tupperware, it's almost finished.
Bye..

Asean Case Study
Wow, it's has been quite a long time, since my last post. That's of course with reasons. I have been away for a three week course at Intan Bukit Kiara. A very fruitful and constructive course that everyone should attend. The course is Asean Case Study. It's started on the 13th July and ended on 31 July. Wow, quite a long time, 3 weeks duration is really not short haul, coz I haven't finished replacing all the classes that I have missed during my time away. The course participants are from all over the countries. From Malaysia, myself, Lina Uitm Syah Alam, Dr. Sabrina IPT, Dr. Chin IPTB, Lina from IPR Sarawak, Sar from IPDRI Trengganu, Shanti IPIK and Kalish IPBA. That's make eight of us. And we also have Indira from Bosnia, Ismail and Beatrice from Uganda, Aung, Tin Soe and Yie Yie from Myanmar, Mahinda and Dineka from Sri Lanka, Aoy from Thailand, Nin from Laos, Joane from Philipines and last but not least Mierna from Indonesia. So that's make 20 of us. And of course we appreciate of the very hard effort of Mrs Veni from Intan Bukit Kiara. And not forgetting, her husband Eric who has been so kind and generous during our visit to Langkawi. And also Ms Roziana and Mr Razif, the dedicated urus setia, who's been entertaining us during our stay in Intan adn during our visit to Penang and Langkawi. And How can I forget Ms Mariane and Mr Rizal.
And for the most, of coz not forgetting our beloved and commited facilitator, Mr Mano Maniam(the kopitiam guy), Mrs Lee and Dr. Bien. How can I forget your true effort to make us understand the Case Study. At least each of us has written something to be proud of. Oh I wonder, who's Case Study will be chosen to be published at Intan's website.
