Visual Communication Through Freehand Training (VCTF)

Posted on July 9, 2025 ·

Last week, I was informed by my friend from MCKK, Amirul Iskandar, that he and Dr. Ruzaimi would be coming to UTM to conduct the Visual Communication Through Freehand (VCTF) training. Unfortunately, yesterday was completely occupied. Alhamdulillah, today I had a relatively free schedule, allowing me to focus on other pending tasks without any meetings.

After lunch, I stopped by Masjid Sultan Ismail to perform the Zuhur prayer, where I unexpectedly met Amirul and Nazri Rusli. Following our prayers, we walked together to the training room at FABU, where the VCTF training was being held for UTM’s non-academic officers.

I took the opportunity to sit in and re-immerse myself in the session. Even though I had attended this training previously in May 2024, I still found it highly insightful and inspiring. The session emphasized the power of visual communication and sketching as a universal language — a truly valuable skill in academic and professional settings alike.

I was also delighted to learn that Dr. Ruzaimi and Amirul have recently published a book on VCTF titled Profits from Visuals. From what I saw, it’s an impressive and one-of-a-kind publication — informative, creative, and absolutely engaging. Congratulations to both of them on this remarkable achievement! I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in improving their visual communication skills.

Other tasks of the day: (1) Finalizing NYR International paper work (2) Marking assignments for METE1153 ODL

Website WordPress Training for UTM Staff

Posted on May 17, 2023 ·

I was invited to deliver a training about Web People @ UTM to UTM Staff. It was a great privilege and opportunity for me. I was very delighted. The training is actually about website WordPress training.

Unfortunately, I did not manage to fully prepare the slide for this training earlier. Luckily I decided the training to be an interactive 2-way communication between me and the lovely participants, with me preparing just a simple Powerpoint presentation. In this website WordPress training, my focus was to expose the participants to SEO.  

My target for this training was to ensure that the participants learn something that they can apply and also they published one post that is SEO optimized. The participants were very excited and fired up. I can see it in their eyes. They immediately put it into practice by writing and publishing their own post. Thanks to the information obtained from the website WordPress training.

Here are some of the posts published by the participants:

  1. Website WordPress Training Result #1 – by Nabilah from PSZ
  2. Website WordPress Training Result #2 – by Izzam from PPMU
  3. Website WordPress Training Result #3 – by Suhailah from IFE
  4. Website WordPress Training Result #4 – by HoneyDean from UTM Digital

My First Meeting as a Fellow Member with Center of Engineering Education (CEE)

Posted on April 23, 2019 ·

It is indeed a historical moment. After attending the briefing for Final Examination Vetting (BENGKEL PENYEDIAAN & PENILAIAN SOALAN PEPERIKSAAN AKHIR (UG & PG) SESI 2018/2019 SEMESTER II) in the School of Chemical & Energy Engineering, I rushed to Center of Engineering Education (CEE) at 10.30am. I used to come here (CEE) for meeting but within the capacity as Introduction to Engineering (ITE) lecturer. But now, I am here as a new CEE Research Fellow.

One term that I learned from this meeting is “Epistemology”.

What is epistemology?

It is the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope, and the distinction between justified belief and opinion.

Bengkel Penyediaan dan Penilaian Soalan Peperiksaan Akhir (UG dan PG) Sesi 2018/2019 Semester II

Posted on April 23, 2019 ·

The first official task today is to be at this briefing and workshop – BENGKEL PENYEDIAAN & PENILAIAN SOALAN PEPERIKSAAN AKHIR (UG & PG) SESI 2018/2019 SEMESTER II, which is held at Bilik Mesyuarat Utama, N01a, 9am – 10.30am.

I have 2 roles here which are as a person who prepares one of the final exam paper (MKKK1653) as well as an evaluator for another Master Energy paper.

Alhamdulillah, I managed to submit and improve the final exam paper. But I can’t afford to review the Master Energy paper, mainly because I need to rush to CEE for Meeting at 10.30am.
