Assalamualaikum w b t.

Dearest Mom,

How are you? I hope you in good health. I am here in a healthy condition. There is so many things I want to say but honestly I do not know where to begin. After one month here, I have been able to adapt to me here.

National Defence University of Malaysia (NDUM) is a unique and boutique university. The unique part in this university is that it is supported by two different ministries, the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia (MOHE) and the MINDEF. The university runs academic and military training concurrently. Because of the unique learning and teaching environment, the university is labelled as a ‘boutique’ university by the MOHE. The NDUM is composed of cadets and civilian students. I as civilian student must obliged to follow ‘PALAPES’. I have learned a lot here and I feel very happy. Sometimes even the management at the university have a problem, but it does not change my desire to continue learning here. I never feel sorry for study here. In my opinion, studying in any university is the same as the acquired knowledge is very important. Moreover, I was able to study about military here. In the military, I learned many things. Among these are open and tide weapons, how to shoot and others. In addition, I was given an allowance based on attendance and every hour I was given an allowance of RM4.

Everyday I got thinking how my life without you. Having a mother like you was the greatest gift. Thank you for shaping me into a person who I am today. Thank you for always having hope for me. Thank you for telling me not to give up when I said I could not do it anymore. Thank you for always giving advice to me. Thank you for everything you have done for me and thank you for everything you have said. I cannot imagine how my life without you. Maybe without you, I can not to continue my education in the university. Now, I realise that you are very important in my life. With your support, I am real human now. I only want you to be proud of me. Mom, I know you always pray for my success in my life. I really love you, mom.

Thank, you.

My New Year Resolution

Resolution is very strong desire to achieve the aim. So what is my resolution? As a student, my resolution is I want to succeed in future. I wish my parent were very proud of the success that I will get one day.  But other people resolutions are different. Maybe other people resolutions are want to be rich, want to go Paris and others. There also people who don’t have any resolution in their lives. They are not interesting to make their resolutions because they think that is no advantage or it just only pointless. Why we need resolution? Resolution as like a promise to ourselves. People must have resolutions because it can make someone become better. But not everyone can achieve their resolutions because it depend how a person want to achieve their aim. That means it has advantage and disadvantage. The advantages when we make our resolution are we can improve our lives, can achieve what we want in lives, and others. But for the disadvantages are can’t to achieve the resolution because they haven’t know how to realize their resolution to become truth. Another disadvantage is they are doing have the good commitment to achieve their resolution. They also don’t have confident with themselves. But to me, if I want to make my resolution become truth, I will do anything to realize it. How to realize this resolution? In my opinion, I should really understand what resolution is before I make it. If I really want to achieve the resolution that has been made, I must try hardly and whole-hearted to become better than before. Through a good attitude and commitment, I can achieve my resolution. So. I should change my attitude first to make the resolution. The resolution will be not succeed if the old attitudes and behaviors still not changed or still the same. My resolution’s only wish my parent were very proud of me. Thank to my parent because make me as a real human now. I really love my parent so much.
