1. POSITIVE ATTITUDE
19 April 2014
Thinking positive always helps me to patient myself and overcome challenges.
I remembered when I was 18, I went for this leadership camp that my high school
organized. I was being chosen to be a leader of the team. During that time, I was not
confident and not ready to be a leader. But I was told to be confident and learn to be
a good leader. Therefore I start to think positive every time I lead and guide them.
One of the events given us is to play treasure hunt. Each team has to follow the
instruction given in the paper they gave. At first we were frustrated and confused,
don’t know where to go due to the instruction given in that paper. I was panic and
don’t know what to do. I thought of “If I stay positive and take things one step at a
time, my problems won’t be so hard to overcome”. I start thinking positive and
thought that any challenges I have encountered don’t seem so hard, always learn
thru experience. By thinking positive, sometimes it helps me to come down and not
to be nervous. Besides that, I also remembered every time I’m having difficult test,
thinking positive can help me overcome problems. One of my subjects in college is
psycho, I always afraid of going in to his class because he will always name me out
to give examples for the lecture he gave. I always complain to my friends that he call
me out to give examples every time in his class. But I also thought of the lecturer is
giving me a chance to think and learn. By giving examples also can help me
remember and understand more. Positive thinking helped me to overcome difficult
task and faced so many problems. It also helps to have a right attitude.

2. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
26 May 2014
I remember when I was young I always get sick and got in to hospital.
Whenever I go to hospital I feel really sick by the medicine smell in the hospital. Dad
told me that when I was born the doctor accidentally twisted my head a little. After
few weeks my parents only realized that something isn’t right due to I can’t eat much
and whenever they feed me milk, I spend more than 2 hours to finish it. So then they
bring me to hospital and the doctor said my head were twisted a little and this
affected my neck for swallowing the drinks and food. My parents bring me to hospital
every 2 to 3 weeks to twist my neck to help me get back to normal so that I can
swallow the food. My dad told me that whenever he brings me to hospital I
immediately cried even though I haven’t met the doctor yet. Not only that, I also got
into hospital because I got dengue and lung inflammation. When I grew up I still
scared when I walk into the hospital even though I’m just visiting my grandmother or
relatives. Sometimes I get sick going into hospital because the medicine makes me
feel so.

3. INTRINSIC MOTIVATION
3 May 2014
I would think that intrinsic motivation is a very enjoyable when you are to do
something. I love being intrinsic motivation because it is enjoyable and I would not
be worried about external reward. I learn piano since I was 9 years old. I didn’t learn
piano to get high grades and I didn’t take any exams for it. My dad send me to learn
piano is to let me relax myself and he always told me to enjoy playing it. I really love
the sound of the piano, so I enjoyed playing it. Besides that, I also enjoyed drawing. I
took extra subject for SPM which is art subject. I took this extra subject because I
love drawing and it is not because of getting an extra A for SPM. I enjoyed having art
class it is because it makes me feel relaxing while drawing. Sometimes I also listen
to music while I’m drawing. People who are intrinsically motivated may enjoy
challenging work, and may think in greater depth about ideas. Not only that, I also
enjoy challenging difficult task. It is important to select a favorite or interesting major
job in college for personal interest. You will enjoy working every time you go for
rather than having a job you dislike but just to get high salary and prestige.

4. SOCIAL FACILITATION
30 April 2014
Today is my high school sports day. I went to support my sister which is form
5 this year, her last year joining sports day. I also visited my junior friends and
support them. My high schoolmates also came and see the sports day. I used to
participate long jump and run for cross country and 400 meters for my red house
team. While watching my junior running for long run 3600 meters, it reminds me of
my cross country. Everyone in the school are to join cross country but every form will
run different km. Those who got into top 20 will get medals. Every time I run for cross
country I will follow the fastest runner in front to push myself not to give up and follow
their footsteps. I only perform well for my long runs so well because I always tell
myself to keep running and follow the footsteps that are in front of me. I won the 16th
place in form 4 and 11th in form 5.
During my sister’s sports day, my sports teacher suddenly came to us and
asked us to run 400 meters. I remembered 2 years ago when I was still 17, the
sports teacher also asked the ex-students to run for their house. It’s been a long time
since I used to run 400 meters. I and my friends; which there are 6 of them changed
our sports cloths and get ready for our run. As we started running, I’m way behind
from the others, but I heard my red house members cheering for me and shouted my
name to support me. I started follow my friend’s footsteps to push myself to run
faster, as I do so I find myself running faster. After reaching them, I keep pushing
myself to maintain the speed to reach the point. While I was running, I keep telling
myself that “I can do this! I can!” I was so glad and happy because I won the 3th
place. It was my happiest day ever because I didn’t expect that I will win a bronze

5. medal. I’m so glad that I still can perform well and help to get marks for my red
house members. It may be a last time that I’m joining for sports day because after
this year, all my junior friend are graduating as well as my sister, and new students
are signing up for this school. It will be a lot different faces that I don’t know as well
as my teachers. Teachers are getting old and retired or moving to the other school
for teaching. After my sister’s sports day, I went back home to get ready myself for
my class later in college.

6. SELF ESTEEM
4 May 2014
My family always treats me so well like a kid even in high school my friends
and teachers also treat me like a kid last time. When I was in high school, I’m a very
innocent girl; I’m also the shortest in the class. All my friend treat me like a kid and
always help me out on difficult task or problems. Whenever we are to buy tickets for
watching movies or play park, my parents will buy me tickets that are under 12 years
old even though I’m already 16. It helps them to save the cost of buying adult’s
tickets. As I grow up, my high still maintain the same when I was 15. My friends gave
a nick name which is Tiny, even my school teachers calls me that. I didn’t get angry
or emotional when they called me Tiny, because I felt that I’m special for them. But
when I was young, I used to hate people calling short and tease me. I will become
very emotional and started crying and look for my parents. As I grew up, I started to
accept it and learn to not be too emotional and sensitive. My friend told me that I
always like playing with my junior in school and help them while they having
problems. That is why they started treating me like a kid because they thought I
always playing with them and it shows my own selves. Besides that, I also like being
friends with my junior kids because they are so cute and they always find me to tell
me stories and their problems. People says, When we were growing up, our
successes, failures, and how we were treated by our family, teachers, coaches,
religious authorities, and peers, all contributed to the creation of our self-esteem. I
started like hanging around with the kids since I was 10 when I first see my cute little
sister born. Having a sister are amazing because they are so cute. They even tell
you secret that their parents don’t know and when that happens I like to be their

7. listener and help them to solve problems. I also have a nick name for my junior kids
which is Mummy. They always called me that, it makes me feel so special to them
and I’ll give in all my best to help them out. I have this one kid which I always called
him as my son, Evan. he’s just 2 years younger than me. He always asks me for
permission to watch football and when it comes to studies, he will ask me questions.
He really treats me as a mom and I’m so glad that every time I talk to him or chat
with him, make him feel comfortable and happy. I know that his parents always came
back late to home and went oversea every month due to their works. Until know he
still treat me like a mom even though I’m already graduated in that school. I have
learned to be patient, nice and understand myself from all of them. Also my parents
bring me up with patient and love. “Positive self-esteem gives us the strength and
flexibility to take charge of our lives and grow from our mistakes without the fear of
rejection.” We develop an image of ourselves through our experiences with different
people and activities.
