Who am I?
For more than a week I was in Kluang, Johor with two of my friends of the same university. In the beginning, I choose to believe that this will be a chance for me to get close to the two of them. However, things went array as I expected. Staying in the same house was not a joke; it really took plenty of patience and time to maintain the relationship. Moreover, what make me more anxious was that I was not able to maintain the rapport with them as I usually will be the one silence all the time. I was not sure of the reason why i was so silence; my mind went blank every time i put myself in the social circumstance. I could not think of anything else even i had tried real hard. Conversation topic with them from me is sparse.

DIEP
~ The purpose of life is a life of purpose~
DEFINE
Defining our own success could possibly make us clear about what we actually desire to pursue in our lives. "What I want to achieve in life?"I asked this question to myself not less than a hundred times, but every time I went through each phase of my life the answer would change. It's really hard to fix a definite answer to my question; however I hope my life goal at the moment is permanent and my destiny.
My life goal is to become a successful doctor. What is success meant to me?
Doctor for me is a job who serves the community and takes the maintenance of public health as my responsibility BUT at the same time do not neglect my own personal life. I have heard some of the cases where the doctors are too committed to the hospital until they tend to neglect their own family. For me both career and family are equally important, and I must strike a balance between both parties.
I imagine myself to become a specialist doctor by the time I am 40 years old. After getting specialist qualification I may put myself into research field and publish my own discoveries in medical field.(if possible I would like to get Noble prize!!XD) And for the family side I wish my family will be in peace and my spouse and I could educate my children to possess developed IQ and EQ.
INTERPRET
Becoming a doctor is not an easy task; it must requires skills, sheer determination, perseverance and lifelong learning in order to achieve the peak in my career. Intense training and harsh scolding are what a doctor must go through. Long working hour, in my own opinion, is the toughest part for the job. It sometimes can go up to 18 hours per day or even longer. Not only that, doctor also carries risk of being infected by the patients like HIV disease.
Having said that, the largest part of me choosing doctor as my life goal is that helping others could give me great satisfaction in my life. And being down-to-earth, doctor is a profession and possess high social status. Finding job will also be a lot easier in medical field considering the skills I obtained after graduated and the increasing number of population.
EVALUATE
It is not impossible to achieve my goal. I have my own strength which is the perseverance and passion in medical field. If I successfully sharpen these skills, they will become my stepping stone.
At the same time,there are a few weakness I should overcome. One of these is my presentation skills that play vital role after stepping into the world. Next is my analysis skill. I must improve it to capture every single detail especially during diagnosis of patient illness in the future. A minor wrong judgement can lead to fatal mistake. And fast action is what I possess to deal with emergencies.
PLAN
First, I should get good results in A-level, and apply for scholarship to either study in local or overseas. Involved myself in more extracurricular activities could enhance my interpersonal and analytic skills. My mind would become more mature and could think of different perspectives especially when I were to plan an event.
When I enter university, this is what my plan goes-- study ahead on anatomy and physiology which are the foundation for medical and I would emphasize more on application of theory in practical.
This definitely will give me better understanding on what I will be studying on.
After I graduate, pass my housemanship and officially become a doctor, I will enter specialized field as quick as possible. Then I plan to go into research and publish my work to raise my fame at global scale(HAHA IF I MANAGE TO DO IT IN THE FUTURE!!)
This is my DIEP on my personal life goal.
What matters me is not money and fame actually, it is what I could do to the society and left behind after my death. No matter is new treatment for certain diseases or just my spirit for the next generation to fight again.
I wish my goal and dream would come true.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
And I will overtake yesterday version of myself, and become a better me.Keep moving, until our goal is reached.
We only live once.

Reflection
Taylor's Graduates Capabilities (TGC) gives me an insight on eight essence qualities the modern era wants and the their importance. For me, lifelong learning and problem solving skills are of fundamental abilities that I must possess. Effective solutions therefore can come up in my mind and lead to win-win situation. Apart from problem solving, interpersonal skills as well play an important role in my life. It could ensure healthy social circle and capture of latest information in various field. I believe I lack of this quality, and TGC makes me realize it is time for me to change myself to a better one.
Smart Goal explicitly explained the criteria of goal setting which are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound. It clarifies my thoughts and allows me to set clear and unambiguous goal. After this I am more certain of my own personal mission, and I could put myself towards it. That's for long-term goal. And for short-term one I want to get all A* in A-level to become a milestone into the university of my choice.
Learning style test basically gives me an idea of what learning style category I am in, and I find out that I am a tactile,auditory and visual learner. It's quite balancing XD. Sometimes my way of study will come to a dead end, and this test provides me a breakthrough in my learning style by giving me advice to overcome various difficulties in study. So I hope this will also motivate me towards lifelong learning. ( Brain will degenerate if I didn't use it)
SWOT analysis did help me to evaluate my own strength, weakness, opportunity and threats I will be encountering in the future. I know my strength and weakness and I should compensate between the both parties.
Then comes to personality test. I don't even know our character can be divided into 16 groups before the test!!! I am INTJ, and this means that I am an introverted person but at the same time being judgmental. I shall open myself more towards others to widen my friendships.
As for career test, I found out that I suit best in medicine line field, and my effort should go towards that. I believe my interest will give me great motivation and support for me to go extra mile.
Oh I almost forget about my biodata!! Biodata allows me view myself from different perspective, discovering the unknown part of myself. "How I see myself?" is a good question not only for me but for all of us. High self esteem, in my own perception, is an element that could bring us success and happiness. As for me, how I view myself change my thinking, and thinking affects my action. I was convinced that the more I understand myself the more mature I become.
Improve and not to doubt myself.
Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Nothing wrong in being weak for a moment when you are willing to motivate yourself to learn.

Career Test Result and Reflection
This truly reflects my personality type. I am an introvert as I actually prefer to work alone but when I encounter difficulties I would turn to my friend and seek for advice. Sometimes I failed to understand the importance of a context what I will do is just read through without any thought on them. And I see myself as a persevere person because I motivate myself to complete what is in my mind. My dream is to become a doctor and I believe the personality of INTJ would drive me through a greater length.

SWOT
A SWOT analysis (alternatively SWOT matrix) is a structured
planning method used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats involved in a project or in a business venture. A SWOT analysis can be
carried out for a product, place, industry or person. It involves specifying
the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal
and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that
objective. Some authors credit SWOT to Albert Humphrey, who led a convention at
the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) in the 1960s and 1970s
using data from Fortune 500 companies.However, Humphrey himself does not
claim the creation of SWOT, and the origins remain obscure. The degree to which
the internal environment of the firm matches with the external environment is
expressed by the concept of strategic fit.
Strengths: characteristics of the business or project that
give it an advantage over others.
Weaknesses: characteristics that place the business or
project at a disadvantage relative to others.
Opportunities: elements that the project could exploit to
its advantage.
Threats: elements in the environment that could cause
trouble for the business or project.
My strength:
Focus
Logical
Hardworking
My Weakness:
Impatience
Less creative
My Opportunities:
MOE Bursary
Present of many universities
My threat
Competitor
Myself
I focus myself during study, and analyse academic text logically to get thorough understanding.
All we should do is act on it. :)
