Action Plan

In order for me to achieve the following goal, a few steps I have to take from now on in order for me to become a successful petroleum engineer one day.

1. I have learn on how to socialize well with others because from the personality test, I found out that I am a introvert and I wish to change this by improving my interpersonal skill.
2. I also have to improve my digital literacy in order for me to get used to all kinds of digital devices.
3. I have to work very hard on my studies in order for me to get into the university that I wanted to go which is UNSW.
4. I have to make sure I am improving day by day and not to stop improving. I am going to do more reflection on myself and make sure I am improving every day.

SMART goal

After the session, I have learnt that in order for us to be a successful person one day. We have to set our goal according to SMART which are, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. For me, my goal is to become a successful engineer one day. I wish that one day I can build a machine or a theory that can benefit the society and the nations. In order to be specific, I wish that my contribution will be remembered by others and my innovation and ideas able to influence others. I wish that at least one of my ideas can be known by others and be a well-know engineer. Currently, I am studying SAM programme in Taylor's College Subang Jaya and I have the target on going to Australia to study abroad. I am grateful that I am also a Petronas scholar and I wish to get a job from Petronas after I get my degree. I apply to be a petroleum engineer and I wish I can achieve this in 6 years time. During the end of next year I am going to complete my SAM programme and I am planning to go to UNSW university to get a degree of petroleum engineering. After 6 years time from now on, I wish to get employed by Petronas.

Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT)

In my life, I have an ultimate goal to myself, which is to become an engineer in the future. One of the main reason is the interest in Physics and Chemistry and I have the tendency to know more about these subjects. I really enjoying the process of learning these subjects as these are my favourite !

In terms of discipline specific knowledge, I have the enthusiasm to learn more knowledges and skills in my life and I think this can be one of my strengths in my life. However, we must know what to learn and what not to learn in our life. We cannot simply follow others on some unhealthy activities such as smoking or clubbing. If not, this will just become our weakness in our life. In life, we may encounter a certain audition that requires a degree or a master holder. If we are not educated, this is going to become our threat but if we are prepared and study well, this might be an opportunity for us to get promoted or to get a high salary job.

In terms of lifelong learning, we have to always have the interest in learning in anytime and anywhere. This can become our strength as we are always learning and it can help us to gain more knowledge in order to apply into our life. Besides, if we simply learn without quality, it will be just wasting our time and we must also learn things that we are interested in. If we are not concern about the process of learning or enjoy it, it will just become one of our weakness. If we do encounter a situation which requires us to apply our learnt knowledge, it will become a threat for us if we do not know how to apply it to our life. Instead, if we know how to apply our learnt knowledge into our life, it will just make our life easier and this may be a precious opportunity for us to apply our knowledge in it.

In terms of communication skills and interpersonal skills, we have to know how to present and convey our ideas clearly to others and socialize wit people. These skills are very vital as most of the times, we have to cooperate and work with each other in order for us to achieve our goal. This may become our strength when we have master on how to communicate and socialize with people. In other case, sometimes, we may be talking too much until an extend where it annoys people. For this case, this is going to be our weakness if we do not manage it well. When we need to do some presentation, someone may treat this as a threat as they do not manage to communicate effectively with the audience. If we do master it, it will become our opportunity and we might do well in our presentation.

These are all the strengths and weaknesses I might had and we can turn all our threats in our life into opportunities in order for me to achieve my dream career one day.

Reflective assignment 1

Recently, I have joined a service programme held in Taylor's and it is called MADU. Basically, this can be consider as a voluntary work and firstly, we are being divided into few groups according to our favour. For my group, we have been assigned to the orphanage to help out the children there. The main purpose of our group is to help those orphans in their studies. When we arrived there, we found out that they are quite weak in their studies and hence, we are there to help them. Every Friday, we are going to teach them and interact with them as well, in order to build that bonding with them and know more about them.

During the session, I really enjoyed the whole process of teaching because I can know more about them and help them with my ability. Besides, I felt really grateful and blessed that I have both my parents and helping the unfortunate one can make our life happier. Although sometimes might be tough for us but, we knew that we have to step out from our comfort zone in order to give support and guidance to them. Without contribution, that does not consider as helping others.]

From this programme, I found that this can really help in my spiritual life. From that day onwards, I have a different perspective to my own life. I felt that everyone has their own meaning of their life and we have to appreciate on what we had instead of complaining what we have lost. It helps me to be optimistic to my life and I can view my life differently. Life is really meaningful and we just have to notice every little things in our life and appreciate it.

In my future, I wish to become a successful engineer and recently I am studying SAM in Taylors.
 Through this programme, we can learn to be empathy to others and not only become a results-orientated person. In my future, I can learn that I need to always stick back to God in order to make my life more meaningful!

Career test!


After I have done this career test, I have found out that I know more about myself and my career path. Before this, I don't have a clear future path on my career but I just found out that these kinds of jobs suits me. I need to look further more about these jobs in order for me to find a suitable career in my future.
