Mokhtar Dahari Road

this route often becomes wet and slippery due to continuous rain, especially along Mokhtar Dahari road heading towards Puncak Alam... if I happen to leave UNITAR Kelana Jaya during peak hours, the journey can easily stretch to more than 2 hours, largely due to heavy traffic congestion... there are essentially 2 practical options to arrive earlier: either leave before peak hours, preferably before 5:00 pm, or wait until after the peak period, which is usually after 8:00 pm... this pattern reflects the reality of daily life for those who commute by car in this area... riding a motorcycle, on the other hand, generally avoids traffic delays and is faster; however, when it rains, extra caution is required due to slippery road surfaces and water puddles, which can pose safety risks... balancing time, safety, and traffic conditions has become part of the routine for commuters using this route...

X50 2025 Road Tax and Insurance

I continued the coverage with Zurich General Takaful Malaysia Berhad through the Proton Insurance Program at the Lon G Puncak Alam counter, which provides coverage for an estimated vehicle value including accessories of RM67,700.00... my car’s No‑Claim Discount (NCD) remains at 38.33%, amounting to RM733.64, and I also opted for additional extra coverage costing RM510.40 for enhanced protection... the total premium paid was RM1,836.02, which includes service tax of RM135.26 and a stamp duty of RM10.00... overall, the process was smooth, and the coverage selected meets my current needs and expectations...

FitCloudPro Smartwatch

Naja gifted me a FitCloudPro Smartwatch, and it turned out to be a thoughtful and practical present... the smartwatch is designed to support daily health and lifestyle monitoring, offering features such as step counting, heart‑rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and basic fitness activity modes... paired with the FitCloudPro mobile application, it helps keep track of daily routines, physical activity, and notifications from the phone, all in one place... beyond its functions, the gift reflects her care and consideration - encouraging a more health‑conscious routine while staying connected throughout the day... simple, useful, and meaningful, the it is not just a gadget, but a reminder of thoughtfulness and support in everyday life...

SMK La Salle Petaling Jaya

I was invited by the school counsellor of SMK La Salle Petaling Jaya to conduct a 1 hour and 30‑minute motivational session for SPM students, focusing on a question many of them quietly struggle with:

“are examinations stressful, or are they necessary?”

during the session, I explained that examinations themselves are not meant to be stressful, but they often become stressful because of how students perceive, prepare for, and emotionally respond to them... stress usually arises when students feel unprepared, compare themselves excessively with others, or believe that an exam defines their entire worth and future... I emphasized that stress is often a signal, not an enemy - it tells us that something matters and that preparation or mindset needs adjustment...

at the same time, I highlighted that examinations are necessary, especially in an academic system like SPM... exams serve as a structured measurement tool to assess understanding, discipline, consistency, and problem‑solving skills... more importantly, they train students for real‑life situations where deadlines, pressure, decision‑making, and accountability are unavoidable... in this sense, exams are not just about grades, but about building mental resilience and responsibility...

students were encouraged to reframe exams - not as punishment or fear‑based events, but as checkpoints in their learning journey... I shared practical strategies, such as separating effort from outcome, focusing on controllable actions (revision, rest, attitude), and accepting that doing one’s best does not mean being perfect... I also stressed that failing an exam does not mean failing at life; rather, it provides feedback for growth...

GAMI-CODE Competition

GAMI‑CODE is a competition that challenges students to design and develop games based on mathematical concepts, combining learning with creativity and technology... the competition aims to transform mathematics from a subject often perceived as abstract into an interactive, engaging, and problem‑solving experience through game creation... Azim and his friend Zul are required to apply mathematical ideas such as calculations, logic, patterns, statistics, or geometry within the mechanics of a game, ensuring that gameplay reinforces learning objectives... through GAMI‑CODE, they develop not only mathematical understanding, but also computational thinking, coding skills, creativity, and teamwork... the competition encourages innovation by allowing them to design storylines, challenges, and user interactions while maintaining mathematical accuracy... overall, GAMI‑CODE promotes fun‑based learning, nurtures digital literacy, and helps them appreciate mathematics as a practical and relevant tool in real‑world applications and modern technology...


PLUS - UNITAR

this route describes my early‑morning drive from the Subang toll exit on the PLUS highway to the Faculty of Business at UNITAR Kelana Jaya... I usually leave extra early in the morning to avoid peak‑hour congestion, especially along major arterial roads around Subang Jaya and Kelana Jaya... after exiting the PLUS highway at the Subang toll plaza, the journey continues through relatively smooth urban roads, passing familiar morning scenes as the city slowly comes to life... at this time of day, traffic remains manageable, making the drive calmer and more predictable... heading towards Kelana Jaya, the route leads directly to UNITAR, arriving at the Faculty of Business in a timely and stress‑free manner... leaving early not only helps avoid traffic jams but also sets a positive and focused tone for the workday ahead...

Back to SMADATA

the temporary closure of SMADATA for sanitization following confirmed influenza cases has now been successfully completed, ensuring that the school environment is safe for students to return... following the reopening, Azim and Abyana were sent back to the hostel, kindly assisted by Abang Wan, who transported them to the school... the smooth arrangement marked a reassuring return to routine after the precautionary measures, allowing both students to resume their hostel life with peace of mind as health and safety remain a top priority...
