Emm. Agak-agak boleh masuk "Book of Record" tak? Heee.
It has been so long, more than 6 years. My little sister took few months to make the coloured pencils shorter. Hehe

I had read this one quote. I don't know who created that kind of quote. It said "Kalau kau rasa tak guna, cuba fikir apa gunanya pembuat pensel berwarna wujudkan warna putih?" **Maybe that is the reason why my white-coloured pencil is in the second place of the rarely used after the dark brown, I think**.
But, for me, I think white colour has it own use likes I can use it to colour the sky, combine it with blue colour.
In my opinion, the creation of something has it own use, isn't it? There is a reason behind one creation.
.
P/s #1: the coloured pencils are not in original arrangement. Abaikan 'letak tempat asal'. Tak adil bukan? Hehe. Bukankah adil itu bermaksud meletakkan sesuatu di tempat asal?
.
P/s #2 the calculator is also more than 6 years.
I bought it since 2009.
.
P/s #3 And yes! I love pink colour. That's why it is the shortest one.

MY FIRST THINKING SKILLS CLASS

Written on:17^th January 2016

In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. 

Assalamu ‘alaikum. Hello there! This is my first journal for Thinking Skills class. Actually, I had drafted the first journal two days ago, which was my first Thinking Skills class. Just drafting, okay? Only now, I am in mood to write the journal completely besides I have leisure time and not in mood to do something else. Good girl, am I? To be honest, I do not want to delay the task because I want to practice the quote “Do It Now. Sometimes, Later Become Never”. It is an amazing quote, isn’t it? *Credit to person who create the quote* I also want to avoid procrastination.

            Back to the topic mentioned. My very first journal is about ‘My First Thinking Skills Class’. Actually, this was my first Thinking Skills class in second day. It is confusing, isn’t it? Never mind. It is not important anyway. Let’s begin. Last sunny Friday, on 15^th January 2016, I went to class with my classmates which are also my lovely roommates by walking. We arrived at our class, TR3, which is located at Kuliyyah of Education building few minutes before 10 a.m. As I wanted to sit, my friend noticed something on whiteboard. It stated that HS 0344 class move to TR5. So, we went to that class. No one arrived yet except a few people arrived with us. We discussed about something while waiting for the instructor to come. 

Around 20 to 30 minutes later, the instructor came. First thing I noticed about him was his face a little bit looks like Mr S, my Public Speaking instructor. He introduced himself. He is a married man with two little sons. He was the student of IIUM too. After the introduction of himself, he asked where we come from or where we stay by listing one state to one state in Malaysia. 

Then, to strengthen the relationship or ukhwah between instructor and students, he asked us to write ‘About Me’ essay; name, origin, parents’ names, parents’ occupations, previous school, number of siblings, hobby, ambition and expectation. Do you know what had happened? I forgot to write my hobby and ambition. I accidentally skipped those two things and finished my essay with my expectations. I did not notice about it until I was in my room, drafting the journal. How could I forget to write them? The reason is I was focusing on what he was explaining about the subject.  I don’t want to miss it. It is important thing to give attention for. Since I forgot to write them, so I want to write them in my journal. My hobby is surfing internet and my ambition is accountant. With Allah’s will. 

While my friends and I were finishing our short essay, he explained about the assessments of the course including the project assessment. He gave examples that we may do for our project. Mr A (my Thinking Skills instructor) also mentioned about he will be late to every Friday class because he joins jungle trekking. I do not know where but he did mention about IIUM. I wondered, is he doing jungle trekking in IIUM?

This part I will tell a story he told us. He said that Econs students are hardworking students. Why he said like that? Because of Econs students came to first-day class not like HS students. HS students did not come to class on first day. In addition, Mr A had taught HS student back then before he was transferred to IIUM Gombak. He told that he the only one who came to class on the first day with enthusiastic. He waited for 30 minutes but the students did not come at all. It happened for 5 years. What a pity? “Now, I am doing what Human Science did to me to Econs student, not come to class on first day”, he said. Now, the pity is on Econs students.

Before the class ended, I asked Mr A about class replacement in conjunction of Chinese New Year holiday. We discussed but no last word was given. Mr A asked us to discuss about it in WhatsApp group. That evening, my roommate created the group to discuss about it but nothing happened. Everyone silenced. 

I think these are enough for my first journal even though I want to write more. Wow! I took one hour to complete my journal with the help of my existing draft. All praise to Allah.

That’s all. Thank you.

P/s #1 Mr A, you are funny and talkative man. This my first expression on you.

P/s #2 My expectations for Thinking Skills class are I want to master in thinking skills and I hope I can apply them in my daily life.

Sincerely,

Me
