Weekly Journal 1

  

Week 8 of Semester 2 as a Computer Science diploma student was both challenging and full of learning experiences. The week started with a lot of anxiety because of our upcoming project presentation on website interfaces. I had missed the initial project briefing due to medical leave, so I felt a bit lost when I first joined my group. The biggest challenge was the technical requirement since we were expected to design and build a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which were not taught this semester. I had to figure out these languages on my own, but luckily my cousin, who has experience in web design, guided me through the basics and helped me make progress. Meanwhile, in class, we continued learning Java, which was interesting but made balancing the project a bit tougher.

Unexpectedly, all our classes on Tuesday were cancelled. At first, I was just surprised, but then I realized it was actually a perfect chance to take a break and recharge. My housemates and I decided to go out to Kuala Lumpur, explore around the Sultan Abdul Samad building, and take lots of photos and videos. It felt nice to just slow down for a while and enjoy the city without worrying about deadlines.

Later, we stopped by a cafe in Chow Kit and shared a bunch of different pastries so everyone could try something new. That short outing was exactly what I needed. It reminded me that even though studying can be stressful, taking small breaks and spending time with friends helps me stay motivated, refreshed, and ready to tackle my projects.

Last week was one of the most memorable weeks for me as I had the chance to have an iftar picnic with my friends during Ramadan. We actually planned to get ready two hours earlier, but as usual, we took quite a long time to prepare. Because of that and the traffic, we only arrived just in time to break fast and did not manage to buy any food. Luckily, our male friends had already arrived much earlier and prepared everything for us. They even bought food and drinks because they already expected that we might be late. We had our iftar picnic together, and it was a really nice and meaningful moment. After that, we performed tarawih prayers and later went for supper after tarawih where we had grilled food. We also played truth or dare, and it was so fun that we did not realize how late it had gotten. Before heading back, we took some photos in front of Petronas Twin Towers , which made the night even more memorable. When we got back, we started packing and cleaning our rented house sinc...

  This week was quite unsettling because several unexpected things happened. It started with a misunderstanding between me and one of my housemates, but the situation became more confusing because of what happened earlier near the lift after class. At that time, I entered the lift with one of my housemates while waiting for the others. I checked outside a few times, but I did not see anyone, so I assumed they were still far behind. Just as the door was about to close, another housemate managed to enter, and we held the door for her. While inside, she mentioned the name of another housemate, which made me look outside again, but the hallway still looked empty, so I pressed the button to go up. However, things became tense when we reached the house. We realized we forgot the key, and the only person who had it was the housemate who did not enter the lift earlier. Not long after, she arrived, clearly tired and upset. She explained that she had been running towards the lift and was act...

  Currently, I am pursuing my studies in Computer Science, and my main goal is to truly understand and master what I am learning throughout this course. I want to continuously improve my skills, especially in programming, system development, and problem-solving, as I know these are important for my future. In the next few years, I plan to continue my studies at the degree level and gain more knowledge as well as practical experience. I hope to challenge myself through various projects so that I can apply what I have learned and become more confident in my abilities. In the future, I aim to build a stable career in the technology field, where I can develop useful systems or software. At the same time, one of my biggest goals is to be financially stable so that I am able to provide for my family. I want to be able to fulfil my mother’s wishes and give her the things she has always wanted. I also hope to have a stable life with flexibility, where I can balance my career and personal l...
