MUHAMMAD FAIZ BIN MOHAMAD SUBZAN

Today, I just attended the second meeting of SMU 2.0. Basically, right after the gathering for meeting, we were sit to our respective scope to inform our progress in our job. It was held at S01's surau at 9.15pm. This meeting suppose to be a short meeting but it ended up late. 

It has been a week from the Chinese New Year holiday and I am back to UTM. I wan to update the last meeting that I have attended the day before I started my holiday.This meeting was between us the MT of every Jabatan in KRU to up to date and discuss our jobs and future planning for the club.It was held at S01's surau at 9.00 pm. 

Even though it is only just the fist week of study, I've invited to attend a couple of meeting regarding of the upcoming activities or program that I involve in. In this week there are two meetings that I need to attend. One of them was last night.This is the UTM's Kelab Iqra's JKA one of the club I joined since the last semester. The meeting was to discuss the club's upcoming event which is Hari Keluarga Kelab Iqra (HAKI). We were informed with the flow of the event and task for each AJK. I'm the AJK Multimedia, basically need to design a poster and in charge of its publicity. The meeting was held at MSI and ended at 10.30p.m. 

The next meeting will be tonight. I'm sure I'll update about it soon.

My first week in UTM for this semester is nearing the end. At this I'm feeling alright with the subjects. To be frank I'm getting butterflies in my stomach after attending all of the classes as I got this thought of not excelling these subjects. Yes, it might sounds negative but it is what it is. Therefore, I must think straight and doing my best to overcome my weakness in these upcoming subject. 

All praises to Allah, I was given the chance to continue my study for semester 2 in UTM. My first semester experience was very memorable as my new things I've been through. From academic to non-academic activities really does made my stay here very worth it. The best memory from last was me getting my butt off doing so many volunteering works from in UTM to outside UTM. It helps me explore the world of Johor bit by bit and so far I'm really loving it. I just got a flashback on how exciting those jobs were and if there is any more chances in this semester I would definitely will take part all of them. My hope for this semester is I would like to participate in running events since I notice how many running events there are here and I'm feeling that I'm missing them out. I determined to bring this to reality as it will be a huge thing for me -to be an active person, training to gain some stamina and not letting my youth time wasted. Now let's move on to not a very great subject to say, my CGPA for last semester was ... I would say it is not bad. But after seeing my friends did way better for theirs, I think I could get better than 3.21. After all of that being said, i still grateful what I had and I take it as a life lesson. Yes, subject with Physics related was not really my veto, but I'm not a quitter. I know I can do my best with many help from my friends to the lecturer.  :)

In the evening, our service was not much needed so we enjoyed to watch the activities like talk and busking contest. Late in the evening, some of us help to look over checkpoint for Walking Treasure Hunt. My friends and I were arranging some of the seating spot for the night event and decorated them.

In the night, we were pretty much done to lending our hands as everything was set in the evening. So we enjoyed the big screen of the final match of AFF Suzuki Cup 2018 and performance from couple of invited artists like Siti Sarah, Ismail Izzani And Ruffedge. I was an exciting night but I were very exhausted. I wish I will be offered to take part in such activity next time

Yesterday, on 15th December, I went back to the Festival Jland  and yes iwas the second time since I volunteered myself to help for two days. It also was the second day of the festival. We need to wait for the bus to get there at 4.45 a.m in the morning. I've new friends while waiting. As soon we arrived, we perform our Subuh prayer and started to help at the registration booth for Green Run (first event of the festival). Some of us were in charge of the registration while some of the others  were in charge of giving the shirt provided. After that, the boys were asked to move some divider and  breakfast to the registration booth for the participants. We also did some cleaning job like vacuuming for the opening ceremony and for the waiting room for the performer.The stage and in front of  the stage needed to be rearranged for different activities, so we arranged chairs a lot for that day to give some spaces for aerobic and coloring contest. 

Today, I attended a meeting about an upcoming program for next semester. The program was called 'Selangkah Masuk U' if not along those lines. The objective of this program was to give the participant an exposure of university life, along with motivate them in thriving for getting accepted in their choices of university. The participants will be form 4 and form 5 orphans. I am in the Documentation department along with fellow second year student from the same faculty name Thaqif. This will be a great opportunity for me in exploring editing software and such. Actually I am a little bit nervous that I might burden him since I am just started to learn about multimedia. By the way, the meeting was about to get know each other who will together make the program a success. The program will be held at 28-30th December, the same day as the next semester break. Meaning I am not gonna go back to Selangor due to this program. I am kinda sad tho. I don't what to feel right now, tried to be okay with since I like to get involve with activities but at the same I always went back when there were break or holidays like mid-sem. 

Yesterday, on 13th December, I volunteered myself in preparation of Festival JCorp JLand. We went there by UTM van all of us were 10 altogether. I met new friends from various faculty. First, we went to the JCorp Building in Menara Komtar JBCC for a little bit briefing about the day. We were informed that the boys including me will go to Tapak Ekspo while the others will stay to help with administration works. This some of works we have done before the boys went to Tapak Ekspo. There, we did some help such as rearrange sitting places and carrying queue post to other places. Today, the festival started but I did not involve in the volunteering work today, but i will for tomorrow.

Today, I went to block M34 to attend a briefing about Festival JCorp which will be held from 13/12 until 16/12. I will be one of the volunteer of the festival to make it a successful program. The festival will be held at Tapak Ekspo in front of AEON Bandar Dato' Onn. From four days of the festival I signed my to volunteer for tomorrow and on 15th. I cannot wait for tomorrow but for now I need to get enough rest. The picture below shows the man who gave us the briefing about the festival.
