Envision Your Revision

by Aleena Izwan 

What's the first thing that comes to mind when the word 'revision' pops in your head. Bet most of you are thinking to study or to revise. Sounds tiring, doesn't it? Reading through all the chapters you've just learnt months ago again. Well, that's the point. There is not short cut or cheat code when it comes to learning. You'll have to do it step by step and over and over again until you understand. Exam week is right around the corner students and its about time we take out our activity books and do our practice tests while I list down different ways you can do your revision. 

1. Writing Notes

I know most of the girls do this but writing fancy, stylish, little notes is quite an effective way of study. Creating colorful notes exercises the left brains thinking and the right brains creativity. Keep them simple so you'll keep track of the key points of the subject. It is also easier to remember things if it is simplified.

2. Study Group

Why study alone when you can study together with your friends? A study group is the perfect way to share tips and tricks with your friends and give them support and guidance on different topics. Plus your mood tends to be happier when you study with your friends because you can all go through the trouble of revising together.

3. Listening To Music

Listen to the sounds in your ears, let your pen flow through the rhythm. Listening to music really helps you calm down and relax when you revise. You can plug in your headphones and do your work as you listen to the tunes since the music cancels outside noise allowing you to focus while giving you a relaxing environment.

I hope you will get a some motivation from reading these tips. But remember, everyone has a different way of doing revision. If one way dose not work, you can always try find other ways. That's it! Good luck everyone during your exams!

 Keeping Up With Your New Year's Resolution.
#goodbye2019welcome2020

by Aleena Izwan

Hello Hartamasian's ! How's your New Year coming along? Keeping up with your resolutions yet? Now, some of you many answer yes but I can guarantee that most of you are shaking your heads and saying no. Well don't you fret. Here are three tips I've listed out to get you back on track with your new year resolutions. 

1. Do it just do it!

You might have heard this quote before from Nike. It’s their famous tagline for their brand. The powerful thing about the word 'Do It' is that you'll get it done. Something common in most people is saying things they will end up not doing. This habit is also one of the main reasons most people drop out on their resolutions. Instead you should start doing something immediately. For example, you would like to start reading a book a day. As soon as that thought crosses your mind, don't wait. Pick up your book and start reading, Take your sports shoes and go for a walk. Don't wait for anything.

2. Stay Positive!

Keep an open mind. Try to make 2020 your most positive year. It's the new decade after all. Staying positive has always been proven beneficial in many situations. A positive mindset helps you look at things from a different perspective, keep a strong will and help you go through dark times. I will link down an article on the topic 10 simple steps for a more positive new year here https://www.kindredbravely.com/blogs/bravely/steps-for-positive-new-year Do check it out and remember to always cancel out that negative with a positive.

3. Don't give up!

Most importantly, Don't give up. Its is not easy to complete a new year resolutions. It takes time. Patience is key. It may seem challenging at first but always remember to keep your chin up and keep going. A quote from the Quran once said "Close your eyes, remind yourself that He is watching. You efforts, your deeds, your patience will never go waste. Remind yourself of how good it would feel to have it all one day come back to you to elevate you in your status. Don't let go, Don't give up."

In conclusion, a good thinking and mindset are one's needs to ace the new year. I do hope these tips helps you and gives you motivation to continue or follow up you new year resolutions.

Perpaduan dan Patriotisme

                                                     Perpaduan dan Patriotism

                                                         Oleh: Amira Maisara

                                                     Gambar: sumber Google.com
                                              
Bersempena dengan Bulan Kemerdekaan,  pihak sekolah telah mengadakan satu ceramah tentang Perpaduan dan Patriotisme dalam Diri Seseorang oleh Persatuan Pencegahan Jenayah  Malaysia. Saya akan kongsikan dengan  anda tentang apa yang telah kami pelajari daripada ceramah tersebut.

  Apakah yang dimaksudkan  dengan  perpaduan ?
     
     Perpaduan ialah penyatuan darjah serta jenis penyatuan yang dipamerkan  oleh sesebuah masyarakat  dan jiran mereka tidak kira bangsa ataupun agama.


                               

         
Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan patriotisme ?
     
Patriotisme ini bermaksud bangsa dan/atau negara. Patriotisme meliputi sikap-sikap seperti bangga akan pencapaian dan budaya bangsa, kehendak memelihara ciri-ciri bangsa dan dasar budayanya, dan identifikasi dengan ahli-ahli lain dalam bangsa.

                           

  Mengapakah perkara ini penting untuk sesebuah negara ? Ramai yang memikirkan bahawa tanpa perkara ini akan berlaku konflik antara satu sama lain dan perkara ini sememangnya betul. Sebagai rakyat yang hidup bersama pelbagai kaum dan agama, setiap individu mahupun yang muda ataupun tua perlulah mempunyai sifat perpaduan dan patriotisme dalam diri mereka. Perkara ini bukan sahaja dapat mengelakkan pergaduhan antara satu sama lain tetapi  dapat juga menanam dalam diri semangat cinta akan negara.

Mengapa perkara ini perlu diterangi kepada kanak-kanak dan remaja pada masa kini ?
             
      Pada generasi kini, ramai remaja memandang rendah terhadap perkara ini hingga  berlakunnya pergaduhan bukan sahaja dalam agama mereka tetapi agama yang lain turut serta. Hal ini akan menyebabkan kemusnahan akhlak diri mereka tetapi juga akan menyebabkan meletusnya  peperangan.
                          

      Seperti gambar yang diatas kanak-kanak tersebut bergaduh tentang perkara yang kecil. Bayangkan jika berlaku dikalangan kita yang berbeza kaum dan agama ? Mungkin ramai tidak menyedarinya tetapi banyak pergaduhan disebabkan kurang pengetahuan dan kasih sayang apatah lagi remaja yang akan menjadi pemimpin masa depan?

    Harus di ingatkan bahawa sesetengah mereka mudah tersinggung perasaan dan mungkin juga  tertekan.Sesetengah daripada  mereka juga ada yang pernah  terlibat dalam pergaduhan untuk keadilan diri sendiri.

62 tahun yang lalu negara kita merdeka daripada penjajahan dan harus kita menghargai pengorbanan tokoh-tokoh yang telah mencurahkan pelbagai jasa kepada negara kita.Oleh itu, pihak sekolah  SMKSH telah melaksanakan perasmian Bulan Kemerdekaan. Pelbagai idea telah dicurahkan bagi membuatkan majlis  ini lebih menarik agar dapat menanam sikap cinta akan negara dan kesedaran di kalangan pelajar.

        Pada mulanya, majlis ini dilaksanakan di tapak perhimpunan tetapi cuaca tidak mengizinkan, Majlis tersebut telah diadakan di Dewan Terbuka. Setelah pelajar beratur dan guru-guru telah duduk di kerusi, Pn Hazizan memulakan acara dengan serangkap pantun sebagai pembuka kata.Majlis diteruskan dengan ucapan daripada puan pengetua, Pn.Suzieny binti Mohammed Harris bagi merasmikan majlis. Selepas ucapan perasmian, maka dengan rasminya pelancaran  Bulan Kemerdekaan peringkat Sekolah SMK Seri Hartamas bagi sesi 2019 dilaksanakan. Bagi meneruskan majlis, kami telah menyaksikan gimik pelancaran iaitu seorang pelajar menaiki basikal dan diiringi oleh dua orang pelajar yang memegang bendera Malaysia, Jalur Gemilang.

   Majlis diteruskan dengan persembahan daripada pasukan tarian sekolah iaitu Anak Seni Kuala Lumpur yang telah menghangatkan suasana majlis dengan seni tari tradisional Malaysia.Ini merupakan kali pertama pelajar lelaki memasuki tarian sekolah. Selepas itu majlis diteruskan dengan penyanyian lagu Malaysia Bersih dan Jalur Gemilang.

Majlis turut dimeriahkan dengan barisan guru yang memakai pakaian yang bertemakan warna-warna Jalur Gemilang.

        Akhir sekali, majlis telah  berakhir dengan sesi bergambar. Majlis tersebut dilaksanakan dengan lancar dan berjaya membangkitkan semangat patriotisme dikalangan warga Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Hartamas.

BOOK RECOMENDATIONS

  

Hey everyone! I myself as a librarian have read alot of books especially fantasy books. These are some of the books which I have read and loved.

BOOK NUMBER 1: THRONE OF GLASS SERIES BY SARAH J. MASS

  This book takes us on a journey of Celaena Sardothien, an 18-year-old assassin in the Kingdom of Adarlan. After a year of suffering for her crimes in a slave camp called Endovier, she accepts the offer of Crown Prince Dorian, the King's son, to compete with other assassins and thieves for a chance to serve as the King's Champion, and eventually gain her freedom after four years in the King's service. This leads her to form unexpected bonds with Chaol, the captain of the guard, and Dorian, the Crown Prince of Adarlan. Over time, Celaena is drawn into a conspiracy and a series of battles, leading to discoveries surrounding both the Kingdom and herself.

This book series has 8 books in total and each and every one of those books took me on a journey which changed my point of view on how I see the world, it also made me felt the feeling which I thought I would never felt. There is no way to describe in words on how much i loved and cherished this series. It made me feel as if I was also there with the characters in the books. 

  These books are on the top of my recommendation. I would like to share this series with you as it helped me get through my problems and opened my eyes on the way how the world can be. It made me realised that the world isn't as bad as we thought. 

                                                   

BOOK NUMBER 2: A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES BY SARAH J. MASS

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it…or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever

  This series is an ongoing series of a total book of 4  and another one coming out in 2020.This book gave me the warmth of comfort when i'm cold as night. This book had given me the moral of not judging a book by its cover. it showed me that even the greatest monsters could feel love too. 

Now I would like to recommend a Malay book.(in malay)

BOOK 1 (MALAY) : 

Dr. Alpha Male

by 

Anjell

                                                          

Alpha Male. Kata kunci seorang alpha male adalah keyakinan! Yakin dengan rupanya. Yakin dengan gayanya. Dan dah tentulah yakin dengan percakapannya. Kalau tak, takkanlah terkeluar kata-kata ini ketika kali pertama mereka berdua berlanggar di depan sebuah kedai.

“Dah habis tenung dah? Tak nak ambil gambar ke? Letak bawah bantal. Malam-malam boleh cium.” – HILMAN UKASYAH 

“I’ll do my best to protect you. Anything. I’ll even be taking a bullet for you.” – HILMAN UKASYAH

Namun, mampukah segalanya terbongkar? Adakah semuanya memang dirancang? Atau sebenarnya hanyalah helah untuk memperdaya? 

  

                    

BOOK 2 (MALAY):

Lafazkan Kalimah Cintamu

BY Siti Rosmizah

Tengku Aqilah, seorang anak yang di sisih oleh bapa kandungnya sendiri. Kecetekan iman Tengku Hisham menyebabkan beliau menyalahkan anak bongsunya sebagai punca kematiaan isterinya. Selama 13 tahun Tengku Aqilah hidup di perantauan membina kehidupannya sendiri.

                          

BOOK 3(MALAY):Kejap ada kejap tak ada

Seorang pemuda lelaki memimpikan seorang puteri idamannya apa akan berlaku sekiranya , mimpinya wujud ? Seorang pereka perabot dan seorang puteri daripada dimensi yang lain berjumpa.Mungkin mereka ditakbirkan bersama malangnya orang lain tidak boleh melihat  gadis itu.Mereka fikirkan lelaki itu gila tetapi ianya nyata.
(so this book is very  interesting and you might think this book is a bit weird but it keeps on getting interesting.)

BOOK 4(indo \ eng) : Detective Conan Series (comic)

Kita teruskan dengan  buku komik detektive conan ini tentang seorang detektive muda yang sebernanya seorang remaja mencari pembunuh yang paling terhebat tetapi dia juga telah membantu dia iaitu Haibara dan Profersor serta kawan - kawannya dan keluarga angkatnya.Dapatkah Conan menyelesaikan kesnya ?

Terdapat pebagai episod (volume) untuk comik ini.
( In this book a teenager turns into a kid , maybe people will "oohhh this book is crazy" but for me its very interesting since you do not know who 's the murderer but it will be solve by conan)

That is all for now guys, we hope that this helps you and we hope you guys willl read more books. Thank you for reading this blog 😊

KEMPEN GALAKAN MEMBACA DAN PELANCARAN PROGRAM NILAM 2019 - oleh Mohamed Mikael Rubee

Pada awal bulan April tahun ini, Pusat Sumber SMK Seri Hartamas menganjurkan  program Kempen Galakan Membaca Malaysia 2019 untuk mempromosikan kepada murid-murid sekolah  meningkatkan minat membaca buku dan bahan sastera.

Dengan  ini, pasukan Pengawas PSS berazam untuk mengalakkan minat murid-murid  mengunjungi Perpustakaan dengan membuat penambahbaikan dari segi susunan perabut dan ruang yang lebih selesa dan lebih berinfomasi.

Baru-baru ini, kami telah mengubah kedudukan meja dan perabut untuk mewujudkan ruang yang lebih tenang dan selesa untuk pengguna perpustakaan. Selain itu, pendingin hawa  dan kipas juga telah dibersihkan. Tambahan pula, lebih daripada seratus buah buku baru telah diproses dan dimasukkan ke dalam koleksi perpustakaan yang semakin berkembang.

Kad perpustakaan juga ditransformasikan kepada kad pintar dengan corak yang lebih menarik dan ceria. Penukaran kad telah dimulakan dengan tingkatan menegah rendah dahulu, dimana mereka diwajibkan untuk membayar sebanyak RM 7 seorang. Terdapat banyak manfaat kepada pelajar yang memiliki kad perpustakaan, antaranya, dapat meminjam buku di perpustakaan selain dari menjadi kad pengenalan pelajar untuk menikmati pelbagai kemudahan, keistimewaan dan promosi khas untuk pelajar oleh pihak luar.

 Bagi pelajar yang lebih suka membaca dengan tenang, PSS menyediakan tempat istirehat yang mempunyai "bean bag" yang selesa untuk badan selepas melakukan aktiviti-aktiviti di sekolah.

Sekiranya ada kempen, pasti ada aktiviti.  Antara aktiviti yang dianjurkan oleh pihak Pusat Sumber Sekolah ialah ulasan buku yang akan disampaikan oleh pengawas pusat sumber, pada setiap hari Isnin. Seterusnya, Kuiz Spontan PSS dilakukan pada masa perhimpunan. Pada masa relief, pelajar boleh menyertai pertandingan penghasilan fail tegak. Teka Silang Kata  juga berlangsung  dari 8 April hingga ke 26 April, manakala pertandingan esei Bahasa Inggeris dan Bahasa Melayu diadakan dari 15 April hingga ke 25 April.

Kesimpunya, kami berharap usaha ini dapat menarik minat pelajar

untuk memupuk minat membaca dan cintakan ilmu pengetahuan sepanjang hayat mereka.

SMKSH'S CARNIVAL DAY 2019 - "Wild Wild West Edition"

      This year, our fellow teachers and students over here at SMK Seri Hartamas gracefully co-operated to organize a carnival on Saturday, the 2nd of March held between 9am - 4pm. Its main purpose was to raise funds for our school to help upgrade some of the infrastructure and school facilities for the benefit of the students. It was a exciting day, with lots of games and food & beverage stalls on offer, as well as a range of food trucks lined up selling coffee, cendol & ice kacang, coconut juice, pasta, fried chicken, lamb chops & burgers to serve the crowds of people that visited our school on that day. Many SMKSH students, teachers & parents helped out tirelessly to make it a such a successful event. The aim of each class was to try to raise a certain sum to help the school. Most classes did fairly well, with a few classes exceeding the target.

      Among the fun & games that were featured in the carnival were dart-throwing, mini-golf course, Nerf battle, trampoline, solving the mystery, horror house, photo booth, karaoke, laser limbo, throwing balls in the jar to win a fighting fish, guessing box, tattoos and nail decorating and console gaming. There was also a stall selling second-hand clothes. Besides that, there was an education section offering information & pamphlets on studying in Germany. Additionally, there was a registration booth for a hosting competition which was held a week later.

     While enjoying the various activities on offer, visitors were also treated with many stalls selling various types of food to eat & lots of chilled drinks to quench their thirst on such a hot and sunny day. There was a huge variety of food such as KFC, McDonalds burgers, cupcakes, brownies, hot dogs, Korean chicken with nasi lemak and pizzas to name a few. Most items were sold out by the end of the day.

      I believe that our carnival this year managed to reach its target of raising funds and ensuring everyone had a great time with their families & friends. The Wild Wild West theme was evident in the way the school was decorated with mock buildings made out of cardboard & a few people dressing up in cowboy hats & attire. A big thank you to everyone who participated in our carnival this year, hope we'll do another one next year :)       

           

BULAN BAHASA

                                            BULAN BAHASA 2019 SMKSH

On the 11th of February, we had the annual and joyous event that is Bulan Bahasa, or 'Language Month' .

It is important to understand other languages  because it's a priority that we should all deem mandatory, especially when being abroad, as it is universal in usage. It is important for us Malaysians to understand and speak Malay language as a patriotic gesture to maintain the country's core culture. Most people find it difficult to speak other  languages that they did not learn at a young age. It is possible, but it depends on our level of commitment. Usually, people mainly speak what language dominated their infant environment.

However, despite English being the main language, we have to know and study the other languages so that we are able to communicate with desired people properly without a mishap in context.

In general, the Malay language is easy to understand for most, but many still lack in formal writing due to the high dependence of slang or lingo within average usage.The country that used this language is Brunei and our beloved country, Malaysia. As Malaysians, we must be fluent in this language as it is our main language.
 
Besides that we also have the Chinese language which we should respect as the Chinese race makes up parts of our diverse country. Other than respecting that said language, in SMKSH we have provided classes for the German language. Many students have taken part in these classes therefore improving themselves by learning a foreign language that is mostly not used in Malaysia.

To start off this joyous occasion, our principal, Pn Suzieany, had given a speech follow by the official banner, a Chinese calligraphy and a singing performance that was representing all the four main languages in our school.

Many activities had been planned out before hand such as the Story Telling competition which form 1 students had participated in. Other activities such as Choral speaking for the form 2's, Poetry for Form 3's and debate for Form 4 and 5's. These activities had lit up a spark of joy as these activities helped to teach us about the languages that are spoken in our school.

The Benefits Of Swimming

No matter what your fitness level, the general benefits of swimming are yours to go out and grab and make your own.

It has the power to give your muscles a makeover, transform you into a cardio king, turn back the clock, and calm you quicker than a secluded beach in the Bahamas.

But if this isn’t enough to get you reaching for your cossie, here are our top benefits of swimming to show you there is no such thing as being too cool for the pool.

The top 8 benefits of swimming

-Full body workout. Swimming uses all the muscles in the body so whether you swim a gentle breaststroke or hammer butterfly, you will get a full body workout. Plus, exercising in water makes your body work harder so 30 minutes in a pool is worth 45 minutes of the same activity on land.

-Great for general well being. Just 30 minutes of swimming three times a week alongside a balanced, healthy diet and lifestyle is one of the best ways to stay fit and healthy and maintain a positive mental outlook. Do it with friends, and it’s even more fun!

-De-stresses and relaxes. Whether it’s work stressing you out, the kids being a nightmare, or just life in general, we all get times we just want to SCREAM. Well, help is at hand. Swimming regularly can lower stress levels, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve your sleep patterns. Feeling the mental benefits of swimming takes just a light swim. No lane pounding needed.


-Burns those calories. Swimming is one of the most effective ways to burn calories. A gentle swim can burn over 200 calories in just half an hour, more than double that of walking. And a faster swim would see that chocolate bar gone quicker than if you went running or cycling.
-Lowers the risk of diseases. As well as being a great form of cardiovascular exercise, swimming just 30 minutes a week can help to guard against heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.

Supports the body. Water supports up to 90 per cent of the body’s weight. So if you sprained an ankle at Monday night football or have a long term injury or illness, swimming is a brilliant way to stay active.

-Increases your energy levels. Inactivity and not ageing is often responsible for people’s lack of energy. Just 30 minutes of swimming three times per week can boost your energy levels through increased metabolic rate.

-Exercising without the sweat. If sweating puts you off other forms of exercise, fear not! As a swimmer, you’ll never feel sweaty no matter how hard you work because the water around you is constantly cooling you down.

After all of those joyous moments for the new staff of this school's PSS team, the ceremony ended with a performance where all of the appointed librarians for this year pledged to an oath by repeating after the words of the chairman, who is Puteri Nur'ain Sofea.
