Experience is the best teacher. Because

of what experience can teach us, 21 were

came for the program. One had to leave

earlier as he was offered a job and could

not continue the program with the rest.

20 are left in the program. Who are they?

They areMCMFUSM 5! They called

themselves the Sunshine Gang.

The Sunshine Gang or formally

known as MCMF USM 5 is one of the

latest group in this program that helps

them achieve their goal or dream.

Their dreamis to improve andto get good

jobs.They might be the latest to join the

program but they are not the least. Yes

definitely not.

In the beginning of the program, each

of the students in the class seemed to be

introverted and laid back. They hardly

spoke and conversed in English language.

As time passed by, they improved and

became better tremendously. They speak

confidently, completed tasks perfectly and

they are ready to meet the world!

Each of the modules created in this

program was so helpful in creating a well-

rounded student. Here in USM 5 the

Students were facilitated and trained by

Miss Louisa Chan. She motivated and

managed the class with skill and kindness.

Definitely, the students of USM 5 were

inspired to continue learning and

improving themselves.

The Sunshine Gang promised that

they will not stop learning and improving

themselves and they will not give up in

the battle of real life. Apart from that,

they will continue supporting each other.

To them, friendship is forever. For the

precious moments they had in the

program, they thanked God for his

blessings.

We are moving towards the pinnacle

USM - There are different ways to

describe stress. Stress is a family of

related experience cause by stressors,

reflection of state of imbalance, a natural

and necessary process, perceptual

individuals respond differently to the

same stressors and it is our internal

response to our event.

There are three types of stress. It is

physical stress, emotional stress and

cognitive stress. In the first assignment

we produced “The Stress Management

CD” in the form of sketches and we

creatively presented that in 3 groups.

The first group’s video was about

physical stress. Physical stress was

expressed by hurting themselves. Finally

they had overcome their stress by talk to

others (i.e. her sister). A brief definition

of physical stress was such an eye

catching at the beginner. The actors and

actress were Ila, Lily, Khairil, Nur, Ain and

Fadli.

The second group was about

emotional stress. The stress appears in

family, workplace and in marriage.

July 4, 2011 - Students of USM5 went to

the nearest Pizza Hut franchisee hoping

to create one of the most memorable

moments in the program. This turned

out to be a disaster, ending up the

students getting upset with the services

provided.

At around 1.00 p.m., the students

arrived at the Pizza Hut restaurant in

town after a 5-minute drive from USM

Campus.

Arriving at the restaurant, the

students were ignored by the

restaurants’ employees. The students

had to look for a suitable place to site

them. The employee took about 5

minutes to arrive with the menu even

though there were not many other

guests in the restaurant.

Neither a smile nor a word of

welcome was said. On top of that, the

waitress had negative facial expressions

while taking the students’ order. The

students learned that negative facial

expressions are not welcoming.

EDUCATION

To make it worst, the food took 40

minutes to arrive! The students were

also not given food voucher to

compensate for the late servings.

The manager and waitress also did

not apologize for the late food arrival.

At the counter, when the student

were about to pay for the called food

and “fantastic” services, which is

charged with a 10% service fee of the

total amount ordered, the person in-

charge had another opportunity to

apologize or explain for the lateness,

but they did not and they also did not

say thank you to the customers.

There are similar comments in the

wikimapia site where Jate comment

“last time I go here I have to wait for

like 1h and 15 min for my regular size

pan pizza. Plus, my soup of the day

does not even arrived. I think twice to

go there again.”

From this we learned the

importance of positive body language

and good customer service.

Shopping: Worst Experience 15 minutes vs 1 hour food delivery after order

However, they managed to

solve their stress by consulting a

counsellor and talking to others (i.e.

friends and mother). This drama was

uniquely presented in with musical

background without conversation.

These were acted by Adah, Fatin,

NurFatin, Ada, Sya and Intan.

Last but not least, the third group

gave us a clear picture of cognitive

stress. They had creatively presented

the artwork by showing the

combination of some pictures and

some acting. The symptoms of

cognitive stress are confused, not

focused and always forgetful.

This group overcome these

problems with exercise, meditations,

talking to friends and consulting a

counsellor. The members of group

three are Maliza, Mas, Izza, Ida, Aina

and Haziq.

In conclusion, from these videos, we

see the different stressors. Hence we

are able to manage and overcome our

stresses in the positive way.

USM5’S CHEER All classes came up with their unique class cheer to present to others on

convocation day.

Sketches and Role Play

by Siti Nor Maliza binti Alias

USM-On the second day we attended

this MCMF program, we have been

tasked to create a class cheer. The

cheer was representing our class, USM

5. Therefore, we divided into three

small groups to create our own group

cheer. All of class members

participated and then presented each

group’s cheer in front of the class.

After some discussion, on the

3rd

day we presented our groups’ cheer

and combined that into a class cheer.

We also added a few interesting steps

to make it more organized and

systematic

All class members contributed

ideas to make our cheer more joyful

and energetic. After combining,

practicing and memorising the steps

for three days, we finally performed

the cheer in front of other class.

On the showdown day, other

classes presented their cheer

successfully. When it came to our turn,

we performed with all our hearts. Even

though we did not have much time to

practice, I think we did pretty well. It is

because we BELIEVE we CAN do it an

we DID IT. Go USM5!

For lesson 4, we were given some

scripts for the sketches entitled, “The

bank”, “The ticket inspector”, and

“The superlative vacuum cleaner”.

We acted it out with our own styles.

We enjoyed acting the sketches and

everybody volunteered themselves to

act.

Last but not least, in lesson 6 we

learnt how to pronounce the words

using the correct intonation. We were

given the short dialogue to act it out

with excitement and scared

intonation.

In conclusion, this module teaches

participants how to pronounce the

words correctly using the right

intonation.

This is because, in spoken English

we need to use different intonations

to emphasize different words or

sentences to effectively communicate

different meaning.

The sketches and role play exercises

are scenarios where we have to act

out. We need to understand the

characters of the sketches and role

play, so that we can act naturally. In

our class, we had done some sketches

and role play activities. These

activities were included in our lesson

module.

The sketches and role play

exercises were included in our English

module. In this module, we did the

role play in lesson 3 (What do you

think of the party?), lesson 4

(Sketches), and lesson 6 (Handling

customer face to face – pronunciation

4).

In lesson 3, we did the role play with

the title, “What do you think of the

party?”. We learnt how to mingle

with others when we attend different

occasions or parties, especially

company’s dinner. We need to

continue our dialogue to conclude the

conversation. We did our

The naïve says Written by: Ainatul Mardhiah Hashim (USM 5)

As I pass that door, I see world.

As I pass that door, I see mountain.

As I pass that door, I said ‘I am too small for world’

As I pass that door, I said ‘mountain, you are so high my hand could not reach’

As I began to know dark, I became smaller like ants.

As I began to be criticized, I became lighter like dusts.

Somehow, ants are brave they don’t learn the word DIE.

Dusts are free flying in the air like nobody’s business.

I did nothing but fear inside.

My fear of destiny I could not attain.

My eyes were closed,

I was buried in my shell.

The years pass by leaving me in my shell.

Sleeping and dreaming with winter and summer.

Until I realized I have slept too much,

Too much until I have to wake up! Face the destiny, pessimist!

The Almighty loves me he gave me sunshine.

Sun raise, Oh I have to wake up.

Destiny here I come with open heart.

Strength, please be my backbone as I fight to win.

They said ‘It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves’

I said I have to go with the flow, flowing without stopping.

Conquer the world that I dwell, look at it as I live on the top.

Defeat the highest mountain, optimist.

STYLE

Whether you like it or not, you are judged

by the way you look. The following are a few

tips to get you looking your best.

Go to a salon for a haircut.

Get a manicure.

Shower daily. No one wants to smell

day old body odor.

Brush your teeth a least twice a day.

Remove excess hair. Clip those nose

hairs and keep your face clean shaven.

Wear only clean, pressed clothes.

Stay fit. You don't have to have bulging

muscles, but you should keep your

weight under control.

Update your wardrobe with a new

shirts. Throw away your oldschool shirt.

Avoid wearing those smelly sneakers

that you play basketball in. Invest in a

few pairs of nice shoes.

Wear nice cologne, but don't overdo it.

Pay attention to your lips. Chapped and

cracked lips are very unattractive. Invest in

lip balm to keep your lips smooth and moist.

So there you have some great tips on

maintaining your appearance. If you take the

time to care about how you look, you will

start to see a vast improvement in your life.

Your goal in getting dressed for work is to project a professional,

competent image, regardless of your employment level or career

path.

The styles, colors, lengths and fit of your fashion choices will

speak volumes about your ability to do your job. If you are

concerned about your career, you'll be more concerned with

looking professional than looking cute or trendy.

In general, the more distracting a piece of clothing or jewelry is,

the less appropriate it is for office wear. More guidelines to

looking polished:

Women, What to Wear to Work?

by Nur Laily Mocktar

10 Tips for

Mens to Groom Themselves for Success

by Nur Laily Mocktar

Color plays a big part in professional

image. Traditional career colors

include red (aggressive), navy

(trustworthy), gray (conservative) and

black (chic). Most of these colors work

well in pantsuits, skirts and shoes and

mix back with softer feminine colors

that are appropriate like ice blue, lilac,

soft pink and ivory. Loud colors like

hot pink and wild prints are much

riskier in the office, but some creative

types can still pull them off.

Jewelery that jangles (chandelier

earrings, stacks of bangles) is

distracting. Opt for stud earrings or

single bracelets.

Designer labels are great, but heavily

logoed clothing and accessories look

cluttered and frivolous in the work

place. A small designer bag is fine; a

logo trench coat looks

Slouchyhandbags look sloppy. Choose

structured styles that project an

organized image.

Most of what constitutes a polished

image is in the details: manicured

nails, run-free hose, scuff-free shoes,

neat hair.

Choose well-made items that are free

from obvious designer labels for the

most professional look.

Fit is everything when you are talking

about tailored working clothes. Pants

should be fitted, but free of visible

panty lines. Skirts, especially straight

styles like pencil skirts, should be

loose enough to sit down in

comfortably. Jackets should be able to

be buttoned. And blouses shouldn't

gap between buttonholes.

HEALTH & FOOD

Why should we take

breakfast?

by NurulIzza

I am sure most of us have heard of the

phrase, "Breakfast is the most important

meal of the day," but I wonder how many

of us seriously take our breakfast? I

believe many of us are not doing that.

I feel guilty when I skip my

breakfast and I know of friends who

regularly skip theirbreakfasts –the

reasons they give is that they do not have

time and don’t like taking breakfast.

Another common excuse of

breakfast avoiders is that they are doing

it to lose weight. Here are some reasons

why we should take our breakfast and do

so regularly.

Breakfast can help prevent

strokes, heart attacks and sudden death.

For those who always skip breakfast, you

should start avoiding that habit from now

on. Recently, research confirms that one

of the worst practices you can develop is

avoiding breakfast. Why?

The frequency of heart attacks,

sudden death, and stroke peaks between

6 a.m. and noon, with the highest

incidence being between 8 a.m. and 10

a.m. What mechanism within the body

could account for this significant jump in

sudden death in the early morning hours?

The answer is Platelet, those tiny

elements in the blood that keep us from

bleeding to death if we get a cut, can

group together inside our blood vessel

due to cholesterol or plaque build up in

the blood vessel lining.

This simple breakfast will keep

our platelets from sticking together,

keep blood clots from forming, and

perhaps head off a potential heart attack

or stroke.Breakfast, truly is the most

important meal of the day.

A Durian Feast by FatinWahida

Durian is considered the King of Fruits and

is famous throughout Malaysia for its

pleasant taste and aroma. It is the durian

season again! Not everyone (especially

foreigners) is crazy over durians due to its

strong and unique aroma.

However, many people love the durians

from Penang andthe best time to indulge

in the King of Fruits is from the month

of May to late July this year.

This year’s durian season is

much later due to the unpredictable

weather. Most popular durian

located at PantaiAcheh and

BalikPulau. Most of these farms are

closed to the public and only a few

are open and even then, they tend

to be more of eco-tourism

orientated.

Like any other places

throughout the nations, BalikPulau

offer “ALL YOU CAN EAT” durians

for RM40. Some of our friends had

a wonderful outing at the

PondokUpeh farm in BalikPulau.

The owner supplied tents,

tables, chairs and washing area

together with complementary

mineral water for our thirsty throats

as well.

The durians’ flesh is sweet

and refreshing, that surprise people

who never tried it before.

It is in the morning hours that

platelets become the most activated and

tend to form these internal blood clots at

the greatest frequency. However, eating

even a very light breakfast prevents the

morning platelet activation that is

associated with heart attacks and strokes.

Studies performed at Memorial

University in St. Johns, Newfoundland

found that eating a light, very low-fat

breakfast was critical in modifying the

morning platelet activation.

Subjects in the study consumed

either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange

juice, fruit, and a source of protein

coming from yogurt or fat-free milk.

With this fact, we should start

taking our breakfast. Variety, moderation

and balance are keys to healthy meals.

We can begin with Quaker oats,

cornflakes or muesli with low fat milk.If

we have extra time, we can make

pancakes, muffins or waffles and eat with

fresh fruits.

We also can enjoy multigrain

wholemeal toast with fruit spread, our

favourite nut butter or with half boiled

eggs. Other breakfast include soup

noodles, fried noodles, rice porridge, loh

mai kai, lontong, puris, chapatti,iddlis or

thosai also a good food to start our days.

Even though we are in a hurry, we

can grab our sandwiches with tuna, egg or

lean chicken filling with lots of tomatoes,

cucumber and salad. Some sensible

beverages choices include plain water,

coffee or tea with low fat milk, or plain

black, malted drinks such as Milo or Horlicks

with or without milk, plain barley, Chinese

tea, green tea, hot soy drink, fresh juices,

and fresh milk.

So, never ever miss out your

breakfast and make it a habit as a

part of our healthy life.

Yummy!!!!!

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN FAJAR

HARAPAN’S LAKE

by Nurul Hidayah Mislan and Nursuaidah Ab Shukor

Penang - On 1

st of July 2011, we had our first outdoor activity

during the class lesson. This idea was suggested by Miss Louisa.

The reason for the activity is to teach us to appreciate the

nature and to get some fresh air outside class.

Before we went to FajarHarapan’s lake, we gathered

in the class. We wore comfortable clothes for our activities.

Then we walked together from the class to the lake. It only

takes 5 minutes to arrive at the lake.

When we arrived at the lake, we took our sweet time

to rest and eat rambutan that Izza brought.

Eating time with juicy rambutan

After we finished our eating and chatting, we started our

games. The first game that we played was a ‘Balloon game’. It

was fun. We were tired out as we have to run around and step

on others’ balloon without stepping on them.

After that, we played another game and end the day

with a photography session. Then, we ended our activities to

continue our lesson in the class.

Although all of us were drenched in sweat and

physically tired, we had a lot of fun and it made us close than

before.

Penang – A futsal game between My Career My Future (MCMF) Program groups was held on Tuesday, June 27, 2011. The game started at 8 pm and the venue was at the futsal

court, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Sport Centre. The USM1 group was the organizer of the futsal game. The purpose of this activity was carried out so we get to know each

other as friends from different groups. It is as good exercise for staying healthy.

USM5 also participated in this game. We sent in both the men and women team. In the men’s category, four teams participated and they were USM1, USM2, USM3

and a combination of USM5 and USM6 team. USM5 and USM6 combined together because there were only three guys in the USM5 group. In the women’s category, we have

USM1, USM2, USM3 and USM5. We played each game for about 7 minutes.

The first match for the men was between USM1 and USM2 and USM2 won the match with 2-0. After a few matches, it was the time for the combined USM5 and USM6

to play against USM3 in the men’s category. Unfortunately, USM3 was too tough for the combined SUM5 and 6 an they lost the match with a 2-0.

After that, the USM5 women’s team played against USM3 even though most of them did not have any experience in playing futsal. However, they played quite well for

their first match. The result was a goalless draw. Then the USM5 men’s team played against USM2 and in this match, the team scored their first goal!

Unfortunately, they lost this match to USM2 with a 2-1. In the next match which was between USM2 and USM5 in the women’s category. USM2 first scored a goal and

that was followed by USM5. USM5’s goal was scored by Norhidayah with a great right foot shot. The result was a draw with 1-1. We could not continue with the next match

because the the organizer had only booked the court until 10pm. We wanted to continue the game on Tuesday, July 5, 2011.

Through this activity, the relationship between participants and tutors has become closer and we get to know each other.
