LOW COST


Everything is actually on your fingertips and now there are a lot of hot spot are like Mc Donalds and Starbucks. It is cheaper than text messaging and call. Like Twitter, people can easily send their tweets to their friends.

BUILDS CREDIBILITY


You can build trust with customers if you can connect with them on both personal and professional level. Using the social networking sites is all about sharing information, not only your own information but the other people's information that you think can be useful for others as well. The more the customers know you, the better. Despite having to do a bit work, it definitely pays off as you can be tapped for an offer if someone catches wind of your products. As long as it a good persuasion, there will be customers waiting, 


CONNECTIONS AND NEW FRIENDS


You have friends, people you know have friends, and so on. This is a common situation that has potential. Some couples also meet in the social networking sites. With this type of network, people can easily met and it also helps us finding our very old friends.


So, why people cannot take the social networking positively?


Another Ghost Story of Dorm E4

That was a night that I can't ever forget  in my life. The dorm that I lived in the year 2006, at Malacca Girl High School, E4, was left empty for about 10 years and I am the first badge using the dorm. Me and my other 13 dormitory was sent to live in that dorm for that year. 
    The first time I step into the dorm, I already felt something that creeping me out. I don't have a perfect words to explain it to you as the situations there was speechless. Actually I don't believe in paranormal activities. My I do know something about that dorm from my seniors. They told me there was a reason why that dorm was left for 10 years. As our principle change, she wanted to use E4 as the dorm again. Many students who knew about the history of the dorm were not support the initiative. But she, the principle, insist to use it.
    Night after the registration for the new year, 2006, we supposed to recite the 'Yassin' together but my dorm leader thought that it is not necessary to re-recite it seems it was already done in our 'surau'. Yet, the other dorm members agreed to keep it silence because if our warden figure out that we did not do it, he will punish us all. My mother once said that if we enter some new place, especially the place that have not used for a very long time or the abandoned, we have to recite some al-Quran prayer.
    At mid night, after all the dorm mates went sleep, one of us heard a strange sound coming from the locker. Then, she saw the locker vibrates too many times. It look like there was something trying to get out from the locker. Actually, there was a teddy bear inside her locker. Yes, it was her locker. She was scared and woke us up. But when we look at the locker, it was fine and stick to he old position. On the first day, we were not believe that she had facing 'something'.
    The second night after the incident, our dorm leader had the hysteria. She cried all night long. We called our warden and he recite some prayer then the 'thing' just disappear. Then, it was my turn to accompany her sleep. I sleep beside her and suddenly my blanket was pull down. Everyone in my dorm was sleep. So who were pulling down my blanket? I tried to be cool and just pull back my blanket. Then 'it' pull back my blanket. It was not funny. It was like pulling the pull and I try to pull back and whispered, "I don't want to play". Then the 'thing' stop pulling the blanket. It was such a relieve! Oh my, it was speechless. I can't see the exact 'thing' and I don't want to! After that, I tried to take some sleep.
    On the next day, I asked my friend, Fara, whether she could sleep or not last night. Then she told me that something came to her last night and asked her if she wanted to know who it is. She just kept silence and wait for the day.
    This story is a true story and while I am writing this essay, suddenly my hostel went blackout all of the sudden.  

My Favorite: Volleyball


Let me tell you about my passion towards volleyball. Everyone will not believe that I am the volleyball-er!
    I fall in love with game since the first time I knew about it and try to learn how to play it. It was like love at the first sight. Since primary school, I have some interest in this games but I am not capable to be the player because there are a lot of  player in my school. In addition, I am already the player for the handball team for my school. At that particular time, we, students, cannot play a lot of games in the same time. In fact, the training fall at the same time. So I have problems with the training time. But at the same time, I am only the beginner and I have faith to get into this game.
    Being the player for my high school was already a gift for me. I represent my school for the volleyball tournament and I am the first six! I learn further about this game since I was invited to join the club. But beginners like me was only qualified to represent the school not the district or state level. I take that opportunities as to express my passion towards this game. Every morning in the hostels, I will play the game with my friends. If there were no one wanted to play along, my beloved teacher, Mr. Azam, will asked me to join him. I was the 'anak emas' of him. 
    Mr. Azam thought me some skills in the game and today I used it in the campus. I finally the representatives for my college and guess what? I am qualified to join the Karisma! I hope I could be the best player and of course I want to learn further about skills in this game.

Preparation for Hari Raya

    Hari Raya was just around the corner. All the Muslims are eager to celebrate it especially children. It is a tradition, when Raya comes, me and my family gathered together at my parents house in Alor Gajah. It is different with the other family, my mom did not prepare the cookies for Hari Raya. It is because my mother make 'Kuih Denderam' for sale. She took orders from the relatives and usually they ordered about 400-500 pieces of it. My mom had no time to prepare those cookies and she just buy it at the expo or market. 

   While my mother was preparing for the sale, my sister and I will arrange the house together. We will put on new curtain, mop the floor and other stuff like buying new flower for decoration in our house. I have two sisters, every year, my sister, Ana Salwa, will take the cleaning duties while Ana Suriati will take the cooking duties. She is absolutely good in cooking. Every Raya, she will cooks Laksa, chicken rice and curry mee. 

    At night, my brothers will light up the 'pelita' around the our yard. Then we play the fireworks together, singing raya songs and many excitement moment. As usual, my duty is taking care of my niece and nephew. It is hard to describe how hard to take care of about 10 children at the same time. They are naughty and cute. My mom and sisters will cook 'rendang', 'kuah kacang' and 'nasi impit' together. Wow it is delicious! I can't wait for raya anymore, mom!

Childhood memories of Ramadhan

     Ramadhan is the month that every Muslims have to fast. But I am not going to tell you about the fasting activity but I am going to tell you about the incident happen in Ramadhan when I was 5 years old.

    The evening was perfect, Raya is just around the corner. My family was preparing for Hari Raya celebrations, painting and put on the curtains. I went out playing with my neighbor at his house. That boy, Iwan, was playing fishing  rod. He took the thread, bunch it to the bicycle stand and make it look like a fishing rod. Then, he took a screw to make it like the bait for the fish. Guess what? We were fishing at the dried drain! We enjoyed waiting until one time, the bait blocked by something.

   Then, we both tried to pull the rod hardly and then...

   "Ouch!", I yelled.
   "What happen?", Iwan asked me.
   "I think something hit me head".

Then I rub my head. Iwan was stunning. He looked like just seeing a ghost. I asked him how about my head and he just look at me and freezing.

    The screw we take as the bait has a blue liquid on top of it. I thought the blue liquid on my hair but when I see my hand, oh my! My hand was bleeding. I scream as loud as I could. Actually it is not the painful, but the blood make me scared.

    I ran to my house and my mom was surprised to see me like that. She then grab me and mumbled me all the way to the hospital. My hair was drying with blood and I was so scared to death! At the hospital, the doctor asked my mother whether sew it or not. But when he start cleaning the cuts, he could not find the real cuts then it is actually a small wound that don't have to be sew. Thank God I am safe.

    On the next day, I was not allowed to go out for a week or I can say I was grounded. Later, I swear to my self that I would never touch any stand with thread and screw anymore.

1st day in UiTM

Hello University's World!

    I am qualified to be one of the sudent in the MARA University of Technology. I take Diploma in Information Management and I got ISD1E6. For the first time I step into this world, I was thinking of what will I be in the future? What kind of friends that I will get? Are they comfortable being my friends? Thousands of questions conquering my mind.
    
    First day in the UiTM was fun. I arrived there around 10 o'clock. The registration was held at the ground floor of the hostel. At that time, I didn't know that seniors called it College. I got Sempana Alam Buana College and it is 2 person room. My room mate is not arrive yet. So, I started to clean the dust and arrange all my stuff with my mother. My mom go back when all the things in my room are settled. I don't have any problem to sit alone, because I had experienced hostel's life since 13 years old. I have to be independent enough to take take of myself.

    Then, we, part 1 students, were called to gather at the badminton court. There was the starting of making friends. I know Sariza and Nany. We became friends and go everywhere together. It was awkward but since they two are friendly, it is okay for me. There are some friends from my high school too but we are not so closed. 

     At the evening, I am wondering of who is my room mates but it was disappointing because she is a senior and she check in the room late. So, that first night, I slept with Sariza because she live alone in her room and we sleep tightly as we are tired cleaning the room together.
