Peringatan

2010-05-26T06:09:00.002+08:00

Ingat nak post di fb, tapi pasal aku tak kawin lagi n dah berabuk sangat blog ni, aku copy paste di sini je la.

MUSIM CINTA SUDAH BERLALU.

Seorang isteri mengeluh mengapa suaminya sudah semakin jarang mengirim pesanan ringkas berisikan kata-kata cinta, sayang, rindu seperti mula-mula kahwin dahulu. Kalau adapun tidak sehangat dan sekerap dulu. Mungkin hanya sepatah OK, "ya" atau "tidak" sahaja yang tertera di layar telefon bimbit.

Apakah dia sudah jemu? Atau cintanya sudah berkurang? Begitulah detik hatisi isteri. Kadang-kadang suami sudah semakin mahal dengan senyuman. Kata-katanya boleh dikira. Sudah banyak diam. Pujuk rayu? Ah, jauh sekali.

Memang begitulah resmi lelaki, semakin banyak bebanan semakin sedikit luahan perkataan. Kesukaran kekadang menimbulkan kebisuan. Itu petanda ketenangan semakin dihakis. Dihakis oleh cabaran kehidupan. Menjadi seorang suami bererti mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada alam bujang yang penuh kebebasan dan serba boleh. Jika tidak pandai mengawal hati, mengurusemosi...semakin bertambah usia perkahwinan, hidup akan menjadi semakin sunyi.

Namun, saya sedar apa yang saya tulis ini kemungkinan akan dicebikkan oleh pasangan yang sedang hangat bercinta. Mana mungkin pasangan yang begitu setia berSMS (kekadang sampai mencecah 100 kali sehari!) atau "bergayut" berjam-jam lamanya di gagang telefon boleh menjadi beku dan kaku seperti itu. Tidak mungkin "kami" ataupun aku jadi begitu. Mungkin itulah yang berbunga di hati kini. Tetapi nanti dulu, pesan saya cinta itu pasti diuji. Seorang sahabat saya secara bergurau menjelaskan betapa mulut seorang wanita semakin becok apabila berumah tangga, sebaliknya mulut seorang lelaki menjadi semakin terkunci bila bergelar suami. Mengapa? Menurutnya lagi, isteri yang mula diasak oleh kesibukan tugas sebagai suri rumah

(lebih-lebih lagi apabila menjadi seorang ibu), akan banyak bercakap, mengarah, menegur itu dan ini. Jika tidak dikawal, seorang isteri boleh bertukar daripada seorang wanita penyengap menjadi peleter yang tidak pernah rehat.

Manakala suami yang dahulunya begitu besar ketawa dan lebar senyumnya, perlahan-lahan menjadi seorang pemenung dan pendiam. Kesukaran tugas dan beban tanggung-jawab menyebabkan seorang lelaki banyak berfikir dan mencari jalan untuk menyelesaikan masalah. Ya, potensi lelaki menjadi "ahli falsafah" semakin menyerlah apabila menjadi seorang suami apatah lagi menjadi seorang ayah!

Rupa-rupanya ketawa yang lebar dahulu bukan kerana benar-benar gembira tetapi kerana belum mengenal erti kesusahan. Begitu juga yang senyap dahulu bukan kerana benar-benar pemalu tetapi kerana belum dicabar kesibukan dan cabaran tugasan. Hakikatnya, lelaki dan wanita sama-sama teruji di dalam sebuah gelanggang mujahadah yang dinamakan sebuah rumah tangga. Musim cinta sudah berlaku. Tiupan angin yang sepoi-sepoi bahasa perlahan-lahan bertukar menjadi taufan. Jika tidak bijak dan sabar mengawal kemudi hati, pasti tersungkur peribadi dan runtuhlah pertautan dua hati. Benarlah kata hukama, perkahwinan boleh dimulakan oleh sebuah cinta, tetapi hanya disempurnakan oleh satu tanggung jawab. Apa maksud tanggung jawab? Ia adalah satu beban, tugasan atau amanah yang mesti kita "tanggung" di dunia, "disoal" di akhirat dan mesti kita jawab di hadapan Allah SWT kelak. Sekalipun badai ujian rumah tangga ada kala begitu dahsyat, tetapi kita akan teruskan juga demi satu tanggung-jawab. Kita sedar bahawa menjadi seorang suami mahupun seorang isteri bukan hanya untuk

menikmati keseronokan dan kemanisan yang diingini oleh fitrah setiap manusia tetapi yang lebih penting berkahwin itu adalah perintah dan amanah daripada Allah.

Telah sering kita diingatkan, bahawa untuk mengukuhkan hubungan antara makhluk (dalam konteks ini antara suami dengan isteri), Khalik (Allah) wajib menjadi matlamatnya. Begitu juga dengan perkahwinan, matlamatnya ialah mencari keredaan Allah. Rumah tangga hakikatnya adalah satu gelanggang ibadah untuk meraih pahala dan keredaan-Nya. Bukan cinta isteri atau cinta suami yang menjadi matlamatnya, tetapi itu hanya alat. Alat yang digunakan untuk mencapai matlamat. Ertinya, cintakan suami dan isteri mesti berdasarkan rasa cinta kepada Allah. Bila ini menjadi asas dan terasnya, maka itulah yang dikatakan bercinta dengan rasa tanggung jawab. Cinta tidak boleh terpisah daripada tanggung jawab. Gabungan keduanya yang melahirkan rumah tangga yang bahagia. Jika ada cinta tetapi tidak ada rasa tanggung jawab, lambat laun cinta akan meluntur dan rumah tangga akan terkubur. Sebaliknya, jika ada tanggung jawab tetapi tidak ada rasa cinta, maka hilanglah seri dan kemanisan sebuah rumah tangga... umpama hidup segan, mati tak mahu.. Ketika kemanisan bertukar pahit, ketika keseronokan beralih kepada kesukaran, maka tinggallah rasa tanggung jawab untuk menyempurnakan sebuah perkahwinan. Ketika itu rasa cinta mungkin sedikit terumbang-ambing atau seakan-akan mula meminggir, tetapi rasa tanggung jawablah yang akan mengikatnya kembali dengan setia dan sabar. Genggam bara api biar sampai jadi arang. Begitulah kekuatan satu tanggung jawab, yang mampu bertahan ketika cuaca rumah tangga tenang ataupun bergelombang. Salah satu ujian terbesar dalam rumah tangga ialah terserlahnya warna sebenar pasangan kita. Saat itu akan tiba. Dan jangan terkejut jika kita dapati dia seolah-olah insan lain yang belum pernah kita kenali. Hairan melihat perubahannya? Jangan, kerana dia pun hairan juga melihat perubahan kita.

Hakikatnya, kita dan dia sama-sama berubah. Warna sebenar (true colours) yang menurut pakar-pakar psikologi hanya akan muncul apabila mencecah lima tahun usia perkahwinan. Justeru, jangan sekali-kali kita merasakan sudah kenal dengan pasangan kita walaupun telah lama hidup bersama sebagai suami isteri. Proses perkenalan antara sesama pasangan mestilah diusahakan dan diteruskan secara konsisten.

Ini adalah satu langkah ke arah pengukuhan cinta dalam rumah tangga. Bukankah tak kenal maka tak cinta? Jadi, apabila cinta tergugat, itu adalah petanda yang menunjukkan proses pengenalan juga telah terencat. Oleh itu, tunggu apa lagi? Teruskanlah berkenalan dengan pasangan anda

dengan cara bertanya, berkongsi, meluahkan dan meminta pandangan. Jangan sekali-kali menggunakan "fail lama" untuk mencipta keserasian baru. Terimalah hakikat bahawa kesukaan, minat, hobi dan kecenderungan pasangan kita berubah. Warna yang terang kesukaannya dahulu mungkin bertukar menjadi warna redup seiring pertambahan usianya kini. Mungkin corak

seleranya juga turut berubah bersama penyakit fizikalnya yang mula singgah. Begitu jugalah dengan apa yang gemar ditonton, didengar, dilihat dan dirasainya. Mungkin jauh berbeza daripada saat mula-mula kahwin dahulu. Membina cinta ketika tarikan fizikal dan keinginan seksual sudah menurun memerlukan keikhlasan. Di mana lagi sumber keikhlasan jika tidak kembali kepada iman? Ertinya, kembali kepada Allah. Percayalah keadaan yang serba-serbi tak kena, hilang tumpuan, kurang selera makan, tidak ada "mood" untuk bercerita dan berbicara adalah bukti terhakisnya ketenangan dalam hati.

Dan itu semua adalah berpunca darinya lalai dan alpanya hati daripada zikirullah (mengingati Allah).

Firman Allah:

"Ketahuilah dengan mengingati Allah hati akan menjadi tenang." Ar Ra'd:28

Iman dalam hati akan menyebabkan suami dan isteri saling bertanggung-jawab. Walaupun berat terasanya mulut untuk berbual dengan isteri akibat beban masalah menyara rumah tangga, namun digagahi jua oleh kesedaran kata-kata yang baik itu adalah satu sedekah. Walaupun terasa sukarnya mengukir senyuman di hadapan suami bahana kerenah anak-anak, tetapi isteri yang beriman terus bermujahadah... dan terus tersenyum di hadapan suaminya justeru menyedari senyuman itu adalah satu sunah. Sedekah dan sunah yang dilakukan oleh suami dan isteri inilah yang menurunkan sakinah dan mawaddah dalam sebuah rumah tangga.

Ya, bila musim cinta sudah berlalu, semailah "pohon" tanggung jawab.

Insya-Allah, musim cinta akan kembali dan ketenangan dan kebahagiaan akan

kembali harum dan mewangi!

Tip untuk bertanggung jawab:

* Kenangkan selalu bahawa isteri atau suami kita adalah milik Allah bukan

milik kita.

* Dalam apa jua perselisihan, carilah di mana kedudukan syariat dalam hal

itu.

* Sentiasa bermuzakarah dalam membuat keputusan.

* Sering melakukan solat istikharah dan hajat dalam menghadapi sesuatu

ujian.

* Bayangkan pertemuan yang indah dengan semua anggota keluarga di syurga

nanti apabila masing-masing bertanggung jawab dengan perintah Allah.

* Takutkan neraka dan bimbangkanlah seksanya jika mengabaikan tanggung

jawab.

* Bila suasana terlalu sukar, bisikan di hati... itu semua sementara,

pertolongan Allah sudah dekat.

Habislah Syawal

2009-10-18T04:51:00.004+08:00

Bulan kita orang2 Melayu moden ni akan selalu anjurkan rumah terbuka Berhari Raya. Di sini, selalu tiap2 minggu adalah rumah yang akan buat rumah terbuka. Buat orang bujang macam aku ni memang amat2 dialu2kan. senang tak payah masak. leh makan sedap2 pulak tu. boleh jumpa dengan orang2 melayu di sini. yang jauh dirapatkan, yang dekat dieratkan.hmm..leh wat shoutout fesbuk ni hehe.

Baru siang tadi pi ke rumah seorang brothers yang buat PhD di Wolverhampton. the dishes were very nice. nasi kerabu, bihun goreng, baked potatoes (perhhh...real brits dah kitorang ni :P ) and then nasi briyani.

esok ada juga kawan di uni lain anjurkan rumah terbuka. alhamdulillah, tak payah masak lagi esok hahaha.

Tapi tujuan aku pi sana pun bukan 100% untuk makan, tapi untuk kenal2 orang di sana. pasal bebudak sana agak terpisah dengan orang2 lain di sini. as i wrote above, yang jauh kita rapatkan, yang dekat kita eratkan.

On a much serious note, I read one article in Utusan Malaysia about Musa Hitam's speech at one university in Malaysia in commemoration of his award of Honorary PhD i think. Anyway, he mentioned about how all those talk of Ketuanan Melayu is not going to become the answer to Malays' mired problem as history has shown, any race that tries to champion their own superiority in the face of overwhelming competition based on skill, knowledge and motivation ( this you need to reconfirm) will lost. period.

Tetapi sebaliknya Tun Musa Hitam menganjurkan slogan yang mungkin lebih sesuai, iaitu " Keterasan Melayu". Walaupun aku tak berapa nak faham dengan apa maksud slogan itu, tapi rasanya, ya rasanya mungkin kita kena menguatkan lagi jati diri melayu, meningkatkan lagi tahap pendidikan dan sumbangan kita terhadap negara Malaysia. supaya kita bukan lagi satu bangsa yang hanya dipandang sebelah mata sebagai scrouge of the nation but as a worthy and respectful race.

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2009&dt=1016&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Dalam_Negeri&pg=dn_07.htm

Hmm....heavy stuff. Tapi aku amat kagum dengan ucapan beliau. Something that is soo right at this moment of delicate situation in Malaysia.

On my study plak, experiment has been going quite well. The mock circulatory rig needed to be improved but that has to be done at later date as I need to collect data for my conference at Japan. yeaaa....pi Jepun selepas beberapa tahun dok kat Malaysia dan UK ni. kira macam balik kampung gak la nih hahaha...

ok. you guys be great. inshaallah.

Selamat Hari Raya

2009-09-22T14:02:00.003+08:00

Untuk kawan2 semua, moga Hari Raya ini diberkati dan Ramadhan yang lalu diterima oleh Allah swt.

Tahun ni beraya di sini sahajalah. Okay gak, ada majlis perjumpaan sesama Melayu dan Muslim. Oleh kerana ramai yang balik ke Malaysia, tak seramai biasa, tapi jumpa juga la muka2 baru dan muka2 lama yang dah lama tak bertemu.

Alhamdulillah, the weather was very nice. I was charged with making air teh for the makan2 ceremony afterward. Boleh la jugak hasilnya, habis licin diminum kawan2 hehe :P
lepas ni boleh la ambik tender air teh.

On another note, the deadline for my experimental rig completion is by the end of this month. I'm making every possible effort to complete it, but some obstacles are just out of my hand. Macam semalam, pressured air compressor went offline, tak boleh nak run langsung huhu.
Pulak tu harini my 'beloved' supervisor wanted to join as well..aduhhh...ni yang nak lari ni hehe.

Okaylah, all the best for you guys.

Pahat dan tukul

2009-09-02T19:40:00.003+08:00

Oleh kerana dah ada yg suruh saya update dlm blog ni maka ni la update terbaru.

Macam2 terjadi dan tidak terjadi, tapi yang paling mendesak fikiran saya sekarang ni adalah sets of goals that my supervisor had set me up until next year. Tak boleh la nak main2 sangat hehe.

Salah satu deliverables yang saya terpaksa penuhi adalah tuk memastikan experimental rig saya are up to standard. Now this experimental rig has been problematic from the beginning. It was made without any mathematical bearing, much of it are done from trial and error. I've had some not soo good experience trying to rectify the problems. Tapi nak settlekan dalam masa sebulan ni memang tak tau la boleh ke tak.

On another note, puasa di sini agak mencabar jugak. Masa berpuasa lebih daripada 12 jam sehari, dulu masa baru start puasa adalah dalam 18 jam,tapi pasal lepas sahur tidur maka takde la terasa sangat. Harini buka puasa dalam pukul 7.55 ptg. Not too bad I'd say.

Menu berbuka setakat ni pelbagai. Daripada roti telur sampaila nasi beriani. Meggi telur pun ada gak sekali banyak kala hahahaha. Dah lama tak masak kari so mungkin esok lusa masak la kot.

Sekarang ni dah nak masuk ke autumn, jadinya cuaca makin sejuk dari hari ke hari. Hari ni top temperature is around 18 degree celcius. Memang terasa the chillness laa...

Ingat lepas raya nak berjalan jauh skit dari UK ni, tapi nampaknya terpaksala tangguh sehinggah that experimental rig is okay. I'm thinking of going to Andalusia at Spain, tapi mungkin pi east coast of UK je la huhu...

Arena-san, ni dah update dah hahaha.

donkan

2009-04-04T04:41:00.003+08:00

Dalam bahasa Jepun ada satu perkataan , 鈍感 (donkan).
Maksud dalam BI = thickheadedness.
kalau dalam BM pula = Tidak peka.

ini lebih kepada perasaan. Peka atau tidak kita kepada perubahan emosi, minda orang lain.

Contohnya, kalau ada kawan baik sendiri mula selalu bersama dengan kawan pempuan yang lain dan kalau berjalan dalam satu group of friends, asyik berdua jek. Selalu tinggal di belakang ambik gambar guna dslr masing2.
Mereka hidup dalam lingkungan dunia sendiri.
Kalau dalam mathematics, they have their own arbitrarily defined domain with specific parameters.

If you failed to realise that they a couple, that their Facebook or Frenster status should be redefined as ' in a relationship' rather than 'single', congratulation.

You are officially a DONKAN person.
not too cool,dude.

Ya, aku seorang yang donkan. Hint macam2 diorang paparkan tapi aku masih x boleh nak connect the pieces together. Betul terasa pelik dengan diorang, tapi malas nak sibuk2. apa kelas jaga tepi kain orang heh.

Sampai nak diberitahu face to face baru aku perasan.hahaha.
Apapun. Moga berbahagia untuk kawan aku 2 orang tu. Moga kekal hingga ke anak cucu.

p/s: Satu pintu ditutup, pintu lain dibuka. InshaAllah. Be happy and be forgiving and forgiven.

Weekends

2009-03-21T06:04:00.002+08:00

What do you really do in weekends?

After a long time of activity packed weekends, now that I've nothing planned for this weekend, I just don't know what to do. It's boring doing something on your own if it was filled with friends.
But I guess a time to myself is good sometime.

Tapi apa pun majlis ilmu malam esok insya Allah pi gak. tu la tempat boleh berjumpa kawan2 di sini dan juga makan masakan Melayu hehe :P

Hujan

2009-02-27T03:15:00.002+08:00

Sedih hati ini tak terbanding dengan sedih hati kawan saya yang baru kehilangan anak dalam kandungan.

Sabarlah sahabat, tenanglah teman, anak awak menunggu di syurga.

Muhammad Aqeal Khair, tunggulah ibu bapa kamu dan jadilah penyebab syafaat di akhirat nanti.

:(

Nasihat

2008-12-24T02:30:00.002+08:00

Aku : bla bla bla....

P.J : takpe sabar2...ni pun jadi ujian dari Tuhan, supaya kebergantungan kita kepadaNya lebih meningkat.

Aku : ohh...betul tu.

That one piece of advice, really calms me down. To Pak Jam, thank you very much :)

Sejuk II

2008-12-18T17:02:00.002+08:00

Bukan tak bagus winter ni. betul memang sejuk, but after some time, your body will adapt and get used to the winter season. Even for a low blood pressure person like me, it is not too taxing.

One thing that I particularly like about the winter season is the dawn time.
waktu syuruk harini = 8.14pg. Ya kawan2, 8:14 pagi. memang best sungguh.
takdelah nak terkejar2 subuh dan juga jarang sangat la terlajak solat subuh :D

mahrib pun awal juga. harini maghrib = 3.55ptg.
maksudnya waktu siang hanya sekejap sangat = 7 jam lebih.
bagi mereka yg bekerja di dalam pejabat, mungkin tak terasa sangat dengan siang hari yang makin memendek, tapi kalu nak berjalan2 ke tempat yg jauh, agak kurang best. ye lah, hari siang makin pendek, kuranglah masa sight seeing nya.

Di sini juga saya mengambil pandangan yang membolehkan untuk kita jamakkan solat zohor dan asar walaupun jarak perjalanan kurang dari 2 marhalah. ini kerana keaadaan disini, dan cuaca yang agak menyukarkan untuk kita menunaikan solat. btw, pandangan tersebut di'endorse' oleh Syeikh Yusoff Qardawi. Walaupunbagaimanapun, solat jamak tu cuma saya buat kalau saya bergerak luar dari area Birmingham. Kalu di opis, memang ikut masa biasa sahaja.

Terpikir gak, bagusnya kalu saya tahu pasal pandangan tu ketika di sapporo dulu.

honjya.

Listening to : Selamat Ulang Tahun Sayang , Imran Ajmain. Best gak.

Sejuk

2008-12-13T16:51:00.001+08:00

Hari ni agak panas skit la berbanding semalam.
dlm 7 degree celcius.
yess..7 degree harini adalah panas sedikit berbanding semalam yang 4 degree dan kelmarin yang 0 degree.

aku memang tak berapa suka dengan tempat2 sejuk. malah di malaysia pun kalau boleh sejukkan badan dengan kipas, aku lebih suka kipas berbanding aircon.

salah satu sebabnya, aircond buat kulit aku kering, and i don't like that. takkan nak pakai losyen kat malaysia.ohh ...so not cool.

tapi yang peliknya, selalu tercampak ke tempat yang sejuk2 waktu belajar.

undergrad di sapporo, hokkaido yang boleh kata panas jugak.
normally -5 during winter. Yes, that is quite warm compared with other places in hokkaido that could go down to -20 degree.
di tempat sekarang ni pun, kalau ikutkan tak de lah sejuk sangat.
at most it'll be around -3 degree...
not bad.

masaalah lain bila aku kat tempat sejuk ni ialah aku cepat sejuk.
i have a slight low blood pressure.
so susah skit bangun pagi. dan kalu persekitaran sejuk, tangan dan kaki aku (body extremities) akan jadi sejuk cepat berbanding dengan orang lain....

tapi yang aku suka tempat2 sejuk ni ialah snow for snowboarding.

di tempat sekarang ni takdelah snow, kena pergi ke scotland kalu nak main. which i'm really planning to do.hmm..kena cari member ni.

fig: snow yang turun tak semena2 akhir bulan oktober. sehari jek. pastu abis la. ni taman di depan rumah sewa saya.

kena tagged

2008-12-05T03:09:00.001+08:00

dek si hana kirana.
kalu tak mengenangkan member baik, buat tak tau jek hahaha...

1) Take a recent picture of yourself or take a picture of yourself right NOW!.
2) DON’T change your clothes; DON’T fix your hair… Just take a picture.
3) Post that picture with NO editing.
4) Post these instructions with your picture.
5) Tag 10 people to do this…

tak tepikir plak pasal no 5 tu....will update later.

Sejuk

2008-12-03T02:38:00.002+08:00

takdelah sampai ke tulang sum sum, tapi sejuk jugaklah.
walaupun tak sampai ke tahap sebagaimana di Sapporo, Hokkaido.
Masih tetap sejuk.

Sayangnya takde salji yang turun menemani kesejukan ni, kalau tidak boleh la buat ice man.
atau baling bebola salji ke orang lain,
atau main snowboard sampai patah lengan lagi hahaha.

i miss playing snowboard. the feel of cold air passing through me during the descent is unforgettable. hmm...pi scotland pun ok gak ni.

perghh....powder snow

belajar

2008-11-27T04:46:00.003+08:00

di sini.

kecik je universiti ni, kalau nak diikutkan, sekangkang kera jek. tak sampai 30 minit dah boleh pusing satu university hehe.

Calibration Day

2008-08-18T17:50:00.003+08:00

I went to my office yesterday and on my way I saw an A4 paper posted at various part of the corridor showing big text of

INDEPENDENCE DAY CALIBRATION.

Huh??!....at first i just read the poster and wondered if there is some calibration workshop done by independence day company. That did not really bothers me, as i was too preoccupied with things that I have to attend at my office.

During the day, I went the corridor for several time and I can't help but notice there were pakistanian people gathering at the university great hall. It turned out that yesterday there was this gathering by the pakistanis living at birmingham to celebrate their country's independence day.

At that time it strucked me that actually the poster should be

INDEPENDECE DAY CELEBRATION

hahaha....no wonder i was perplexed with the sign.
hehe :P

Meeting

2008-08-08T01:29:00.003+08:00

Hari Khamis pukul 10.00 pagi ataupun 11.00 pagi biasanya dah dijadualkan sebagai waktu weekly meeting dengan supervisor (sv).

kalau ada benda yang nak dibincangkan, ada result of my research, maka meeting tu tak menggerunkan. tapi kalau apa pun x de, sometime due to lack of work, most of the time surfing the internet, maka waktu 10.00 pagi tu adalah waktu yang amat digeruni.

Tapi harini okay jek. we talked about how i should proceed with the mold casting and his stressing the need for me to write, and the need to keep a constant working time of at least 40 hours per week. The thing is my time mostly went for 'other' stuff and not to the advancement of my thesis.

Writing.Got to do it. maybe by doing it in point form will ease the process.

Dekat sini

2008-06-05T01:14:00.002+08:00

Cuaca adalah satu perkara yang amat selalu berubah.
Tapi biasanya mendung dan sejuk. Hari ni alhamdulillah cuaca cerah dan walaupun agak dingin ( dlm 18 darjah celcius), cahaya matahari tu dah cukup menceriakan.

Semalam, hujan gerimis jugak la, tapi bila petang cuaca dah cukup okay untuk saya berjogging. Dah lama sangat tak berjogging, dan hasilnya, amat meletihkan walaupun cuma berjogging setakat 20 minit lebih kurang (itu pun sekejap berlari, banyak berjalan)

Okay, need to keep up with the jogging. Lack of exercise has dull my mind and body a lot I guess.

Hari ni cuba balik software Labview selepas sebulan lebih tinggalkan gitu jek. Rasa2nya saya dah buang masa banyak kerana tak cuba belajar software ni betul2...Kena kejar balik ni.

Sesat

2007-11-15T10:31:00.000+08:00

nak pergi putrajaya dari opis agak memeningkan kalau baru 1st time pergi.
terbabas jalan berkali2 jugaklah.
tapi akhirnya sampai jugak.
Wisma PJH.

akhir urusan di situ rasa gembira kerana dah dapat apa yang diinginkan.
insyaallah, urusan selepas ini semakin mudah.

emm...nak cari baju sejuk ke tak ye?
fyi, kalau kat uptown danau kota tu, memang ada baju2 sejuk dijual murah2.
bundle dari jepun kebanyakannnya.
which in my opinion, still good enough.

nantilah aku pegi sana dengan kawan.
haven't been there for quite some time.

jalan ke hadapan

2007-11-07T15:22:00.000+08:00

perhatian mesti ke hadapan.
siap dengan keperluan,
siaga dengan segala keadaan.
jangan pandang belakang.
nanti masuk longkang :P

Weekend ni

2007-11-05T09:43:00.000+08:00

banyak berjalan daripada biasa.
hari sabtu pegi kenduri kahwin kawan baik di slim river.
thanks to detailed map of invitation card, we (me and my fellow colleagues) manages to find the house with relative ease.
so guys, lenkali kalau kawin tu pastikan peta dilukis dengan betul. jangan jadi macam kes map silap, orang tak sampai rumah (it happens okay?)

ahadnya pulak, pegi ke shah alam.Beraya rumah junior di U dulu.
As i've no idea how to go to shah alam, main terjah je dari gombak.
as a result, there were too many wrong turns.
sampai terbabas masuk ke uitm shah alam! ( nice wrong turn as i wanted to visit uitm for quite some time)
penat jugak mencari but after much GPS advice live from my friend, i found his house.
tak rugi rasanya terbabas semalam, pasal banyak tempat baru yang dapat dilihat/dilawati, you could say that it was a blessing in disguise. Jauh perjalanan (jauh sesatnya), luas pemandangan.
that got me thinking, kalaupun kita terbabas jauh dari matlamat kita andai kita tahu destinasi akhir, dengan bantuan rakan taulan etc, insyaallah kita akan sampai.

hehe, things you made up to make up for the 'sesat jalan' stuff haha

Kepimpinan melalui teladan

2007-11-01T08:55:00.000+08:00

Semalam berjalan2 di kedai buku orang jepun di klcc.
terserempak pulak dengan Raja Muda Perak. Nampaknya baginda sedang memilih2 buku di situ.
what amazes me to no end is his highness choose a lot of books from a lot of genre.
sampai nak penuh basket yang dibawa oleh pemandu baginda.

Patutla apa2 sahaja yang dititahkan oleh baginda penuh dengan isi yang mantap dan idea bernas.

bersemangat balik pulak nak baca buku nih. bukan setakat buku genre sci-fi je tapi buku2 lain jugak.

lamanya....

2007-10-22T17:52:00.000+08:00

tak masuk blog nih.
macam malas je nak tulis.
tapi sekarang terasa nak mula balik menulis.
nak asah balik skil (kalau ada lah) menulis tuh.

esok ada interview nun di selatan.
moga2 ada peluang, dan moga2 kawan yang lain pun berkesempatan juga.

note : moga cik nana berjaya dalam periksa bahasa yang akan mendatang.
gambatte kudasai

awal pagi

2007-06-01T15:34:00.000+08:00

lama gila dah tak post sebarang entri....
rasa2nya memang saya tak ada sebarang bakat dan juga inclination/kecenderungan untuk menulis.
well, the reason i'm writing a new entry is just purely because i'm bored at the moment.
there's a lot to do, but being the last day of working day is doing me no good.
the though of things to do tomorrow rendering my mood to do other stuff in mandom mood.

anyway, there's one thing that i've noticed about myself.
i always like to be early for work.
in my line of work, there's no need to be at office at 8am.
unless you've got class to teach, then you could come at any time you like.
but still, the early morning arriving is something that i cannot miss.

rasa2nya, habit yang tertanam sejak bekerja di syarikat lama dulu melekat di diri saya.
tak pernah saya datang lambat, malahan boleh dikira saya datang lambat.
Pukul 8 saja, saya sudah berada di pejabat. ready to work.

tu je kot masa nih.

all the best to you and to me :)

comical expect of life.

2007-03-21T18:16:00.000+08:00

no. i'm not trying to write a comical expect of life. nothing of that sort. i'm not really the type who can turn so boring event of life into a comical one. no thank you.

aku minat komik.dulu biasalah, majalah pedang setiawan (sampai skang), raja rimba, dewata raya etc tu kira tiap2 minggu baca.
masa gi jepun dulu, perghhh jangan citer...masyuk sungguh dengan kebanjiran mangga kat sana.
tak pandang dah komik2 lain.
kat jepun gak ada kedai baca komik khas. dia sediakan kursi dan meja, dan ko boleh baca banyak mana mangga yang ko suka. biasanya dia charge dalam 350yen per hour. aku pernah dok dalam kedai mangga tuh for 4 to 5 hours kot? lagi lama dari aku dok library hahahaha
mangga yang aku ikut lagi sampai skang ni naruto.
tiap2 minggu download, yang original japanese version. kalau dah ditranslate, kekadang agak lari skit translation dia.

bersempena dengan my next step of academic career, aku pun minat ler ngan satu online comic nih. www.phdcomics.com
memang lawak ler. tapi heran plak kenapa tak leh nak access all the previous comics, and even the recent one?....

akhir minggu nih konvo. merasa le pakai jubah heh.

okaylah, updet gak akhirnya.

bukan beta lagi.

2007-02-25T00:27:00.000+08:00

nampaknya, blogger dah bukan blogger beta, dah jadi blogger rakyat hehe
got the joke?

takpelah.

ingat nak blog pasal perkara2 baru dalam hidup saya, tapi nak kena familiarize ngan blogger dulu.
i guess new things about myself can wait.

but just a little will do no harm i guess.

skang dah ada kat tempat baru.
from what i can experience, i tend to sesat quite a lot. hahaha
nak kena rayau2 lagi. ni asyik guna jalan yang sama dari rumah sewa ke tmpt keja.

apapun, moga thn ni jadi thn yang lebih baik dan lebih bermanafaat buat tuan blog dan pembaca blog semuanya :)

Mirai

2006-12-05T22:25:00.000+08:00

dah lama sangat tak update.
maaf kepada semua yang datang melawat dan terpaksa cuma melihat sawang2 tebal disana sini.

cuma sedikit update buat masa nih.

tu je kot skang nih.

apapun, akan diupdate kemudian.
masih dalam prosess membersihkan blog nih.

apapun, moga minggu ini cerah utk semua.

Ramadan Al-Mubarak

2006-09-26T10:25:00.000+08:00

Selamat menyambut Ramadan kepada semua :)
agak sibuk dengan coding program dan writing report kebelakangan ni
sambil sibuk2 macam biasa tengok blog orang lain.
hehe

Saya dapat sms nih.

'Kalau rasa nak buat jahat dalam bulan puasa,
tanyalah iman,
pasti iman kata x boleh,
jangan tanya dengan aiman,
nanti dia kata " aiman tak kisah".'

errmmm...interesting quote. Wonder what if the iman is so weak, i mean it's so thin, like thinner than a slice of onion?

Apapun selamat berpuasa kepada semua.

teringin plak nak minum sup jagung...

p/s: I'm in a big trouble right now. Addicted to this website
www.phdcomics.com which i find really reflects my style of doing 'research'
hahahaha

rongga yang berlubang

2006-09-03T09:25:00.000+08:00

Malam tadi dengar satu ceramah pasal Ramadhan al Mubarak yang akan mendatang nih.
( less than a month my dear friends)

ada satu point yang menarik. kat bawah ni scenario dia:

kau dan kawan kau terperangkap dalam trafik jem yang teruk. Waktu berbuka dah nak dekat. tapi dlm kereta apa makanan dan minuman pun takde.

A: camni ni B? dah nak buka dah ni, apa pun takde?
B: mana aku tau, tu la ko, aku nak beli tadi ko taknak.
A: ye laa...aku nak beli kat Bazar UTM, lagi banyak pilihan (read :awek)
B: yeah right....

waktu makin hampir ke waktu berbuka puasa.

A: eh...camni nih?
B: err...apa kata kita bukak puasa dengan memasukkan sesuatu ke dalam rongga yang berlubang?
A: huh? excuse me?
B: korek hidung la bai...
A: waa...simple yet brilliant.

(suara azan dari radio)
Allahu akbar Allahu Akbar...
maka terjadilah episod dua sahabat yang mengorek hidung untuk membuka puasa mereka.

saudara dan saudari,
waktu berpuasa adalah dari masuknya waktu subuh hingga ke masuknya waktu maghrib.
kalau dah masuk waktu berbuka, tak perlu korek hidung or anything else semata2 mahu membuka puasa.
Tak perlu kerana kita bukan lagi didalam waktu berpuasa.
Yang sunnahnya kita segerakan makan, takde makanan tak payahla sampai ke tahap sebagaimana diatas.

itu apa yang saya dapat dari ceramah malam tadi.
terkena sungguh batang hidung saya hahahahaha.

Continuation of 3 ways to make people like you:

1. Become genuinely interested in other people
2. Smile
3. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.

I'll give some example later on.

Honjya.

emmm.....long absence

2006-08-15T21:51:00.001+08:00

kepada pembaca2 blog.
(kalau ada lah...)

ni link e-book utk buku

Pretty much impressed and below are the two tips I managed to read up until now.

2. Give honest and sincere appreciation

honjya.

btw, blog ni bagus : persetankan.blogspot.com

2006-02-22T17:34:00.000+08:00

i'm quite busy these days.
banyak yang nak dibuat.
routine are different from usual working-at-office days,
a lot of things to learn, to relearn, to unlearn, to polish my karatz otak
pheww!!!

even nak tulis blog ni pun aku dah takde masa sangat.
tapi tergerak nak tulis a simple one just to answer some messages.

to all:
terima kasih atas dorongan dan doa.
moga kalian pun berjaya dalam apa2 yang kamu semua lalui.

to kak melah:
ajinomoto tuh well...macam nih
aji= rasa
no= punya
moto= asal usul/root

so there you got it. ajinomoto= asal usul rasa.

i'm teaching japanese language at psr gudang.

Butterfly story

2006-01-07T12:03:00.000+08:00

Instead of taking advance heat transfer, I opted for Elasticity.
One of the reasons is because the lecturer, Dr. Hishamuddin Alham,
the one who came out with the butterfly story. as per below.
insyaallah, mari kita ambil iktibar mana yang boleh.

Kisah ini sering saya sebut dalam ceramah-ceramah yang
saya sampaikan mahupun dalam kelas semasa kuliah
Kejuruteraan Mekanikal yang saya ajar.

Ia mengisahkan seorang saintis yang asyik memerhatikan
kepompong. Dia dapati si anak kupu-kupu bergelut untuk
keluar dari kepompong. Atas sebab kesian, saintis
tersebut memotong bucu kepompong untuk mengeluarkan si
anak kupu-kupu itu tadi.

Anak kupu-kupu itu merangkak-rangkak. Kepaknya kecut
dan badannya agak kecil. Saintis itu menunggu dengan
harapan badannya akan membesar dan kepaknya akan
mengembang. Sangkaannya meleset sekali kerana
kupu-kupu itu cacat seumur hidup dan tidak dapat
terbang.

Apa yang saintis itu tidak tahu, pergelutan itu suatu
perencanaan Allah swt agar cecair dalam badannya
mengalir keseluruh kepak, mengembangkan kepak tersebut
dan memperkukuhkan binaannya.

Dalam hidup kita begitu juga - kekadang - pergelutan,
perjuangan dan usaha gigih diperlukan agar kita
berjaya dan kuat dalam menjalani hidup ini. Kalau
Allah membiarkan hidup kita ini tanpa dugaan, cubaan
dan pergelutan - kita akan gagal dalam kehidupan kita
ini.

"Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our
life. If Allah allowed us to go through life without
obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as
strong as we could have been.

And... we would never fly."

Wassalam

Dr Hishamuddin Alham

Moga tahun ini menjadikan kita semua lebih kuat dan lebih tabah, physically and mentally as well.

Tekadku

2006-01-05T08:10:00.000+08:00

A couple of week into the new year has brought me lots of realizations.
For one, i'm going to be jobless!
scary thought given that i've accustomed to mothly salary.
insyallah, ada lah rezeki nanti, kalau saya berusaha.

Class has started and today is the last day for registration.
tak tau lagi mana nak pilih between elasticity dan adv. heat transfer...
very different branch of engineering both of them.
tengoklah a few more hours of thinking.
dah solat istikharah, tapi boleh plak tak nyenyak tidur malam tadi hehe

Tak de fikir pasal azam tahun baru ke apa ke....
tapi dua tiga hari nih, i just kept saying to myself.

'aku tak nak kalah lagi, aku nak menang.'

aku tak nak kalah pada keadaan, aku tak nak kalah pada diri sendiri.
aku nak menang.
Aku dah bosan asyik being a modiocre guy.
penat just going with the flow.

I don't want to be a loser who can't control what can be controlled.

breath in

breath out.

fuhhh........

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Concern

2005-12-22T16:59:00.000+08:00

from donjuandeapai

My biggest concern when doing Master full time next year would be money of course. No doubt about it.

Alhamdulillah I can use my EPF money to pay off school fee.

So I’ll just have to do part-time job to support myself.
I don’t have any loan to pay, only takaful jek. So…my overhead per month is not so big. Even so I just can’t depending on my saving kan?

I’ll be lying if I’m not going to miss my present gaji riban2. tapi insyallah I have faith everything will sort out.

I’ve been toying with some part-time job to do next semester.
Macam jadi guru tuisyen ke? Or I could teach Japanese to those who wanted to learn real spoken Japanese? As I do like financial stuff, being a unit trust agent seems quite inviting hehehe.

The most outrageous suggestion one would be a jaga, you know, the glorify ‘security guard’?Hahaha.

But come to think of it, boleh jugak kan? Time malam2 tuh I could do with some studying. Hmmm….

I think I need some tips from kak Atenah on this belajar full time, keja part-time as oppose to my present kerja full time, belajar part-time.

Eh? Lagi lama la aku nak kawin. Next year I can’t afford to get married what with my penniless situation.
The year after that I just started working back, so need to simpan duit lagi….
What? The year after that?
Dengg….another two or three years?
Terlajak gila aku cam nih hahaha
Nasib baik (or buruk?) aku takde commitment lagi…
(read:takde awek lagi hahaha)
Seems my last week’s pengapit badi are of no use.

On a lighter note, please drop by to this webpage.
It’s by far the coolest muslim da’wah page I’ve ever visited.
Lawak kelakar gila sampai sakit perut aku hahahaha

Maniac Muslim: The coolest muslim web-page

Some excerpt:

i don't know about you guys, tapi pada aku memang lawak le articles dalam tuh.

tukar status

2005-12-12T13:22:00.000+08:00

bukan,
aku bukan tukar status dari bujang
ke suami orang.

hehehe.
tu lama lagi.

tapi aku tukar status dari part-time ke full-time master student
starting from next semester.
so there's no turning back now,
only marching forward.

inilah barisan kita,
yang ikhlas berjuang,
siap sedia berjuang
untuk ibu pertiwi

:) chewah semangat pulak aku.

On a lighter note, hujung minggu ni I was made to be a pengapit for my good friend hafiz@badak at shah alam.
Pengapit?!
emmm...aku kena sediakan duit tol le gamaknya hahaha
takpe2 boleh claim kendian.

10 things I remember about Hokkaido

2005-12-12T13:16:00.000+08:00

Aku ada habit yang akan senaraikan 10 benda for everything, macam 10 reasons why I wanted to do master, 10 reasons aku nak further study ke jepun untuk sarjana muda, 10 reasons aku tak beli kereta lagi, 10 reasons I still haven’t got an awek hahaha

Anyway, I always read blogs from Malaysian student at Japan, ye la nak tau camane keadaan diorang kat sana, just to reminisce back my memory at japan chewah.

Kebanyakannya sekarang tengah sibuk nak buat graduation thesis/PSM. I still can recall the sleepless night ( not really lah, aku still boleh tidur lagi heh) tapi yang aku paling tak bleh lupa, aku tidur kat lab dengan sleeping bag in dead winter night. Sejuk wooo….lagi2 winter kat Hokkaido.

So kat bawah nih sepuluh perkara aku ingat pasal Hokkaido/Jepun:

Sejuk, ye la dah kat utara jepun. Ada tempat yang suhu dia jatuh sampai -42 degree celcius. Time tuh salji dia akan jadi sangat halus, dan bila turun waktu pagi pemandangan dia is soo beautiful. Ni aku tengok kat tv lerr. Takde keja aku nak tengok salji pagi2 buta. Kat Hokkaido nih even though in summer, rasa panas macam kat Malaysia cuma dalam 2~3 minggu jek setahun. Ahhh pure bliss.
Salji. Kat Hokkaido ni memang turun salji boleh kata 5 bulan setahun, rasa sejuk for 6 to 7 months. Satu lagi, jenis salji yang turun dipanggil powder snow i.e. very fine snow. Tu yang aku gila main snowboard.
Basikal. Aku kat sana takde beli kereta/motor etc. satu pasal tak perlu sangat, dua aku takde lessen :P tapi kalau kat Sapporo memang tak perlu sangat kereta, just a bicycle is enough to get you around. Fit jugak aku time tuh bawak basikal. It was a mountain bike btw.
Tanuki Udon & Soba. Ni kira macam instant maggi yang aku selalu makan. Ni jelah yang halal. Yang lain tuh tak boleh percaya sangat. Kiranya kat jepun tuh, selain nasi inilah makanan ragi aku. Boleh tahan sedap (kalau kau tak kisah rasa makanan jepun yang almost tasteless)
Aikido. In fact kalau korang pernah baca blog nih, one of the reasons I pursue my education at japan was because I wanted to learn aikido. Dapatlah merasa talipinggang kosong.
PSM. My graduation thesis was a crap. Enough said. Satu sebab aku buat master.
Manga jepun. Being a manga freak, Japan was heaven hahhaha. Skang pun aku ikut lagi naruto, one piece, hunter hunter etc.
Hokkaido ni kalau ikutkan standard Jepun, memang agak kampung sikit ler. Tapi I like Sapporo. Takde sesak2, luas, kalau pergi ke utara Hokkaido, memang luas mata memandang kat ladang kentang. Kalau masa summer pergi jalan2, terasa macam kat prairie jek.
Ayam papan. Aku terpaksa memasak kat sana. I’m not that good of a cook, bolehlah kalau nak makan sorang. Pasal nak save cost, aku selalu beli ayam papan i.e. Cuma daging ayam yang dah dicabut tulang-temulang dia, dan dimasukkan dalam plastic bag sepapan. Tak paham? Tak pe.
Teknologi, well what do you expect? Kat jepun nih teknologi mudah berkembang pasal penduduk dia suka cuba teknologi baru. Berbeza dengan orang Malaysia yang suka pakai h/p sampai dah barai baru nak tukar, diorang sana boleh kata kalau ada je model or teknologi baru mesti diorang tukar.

dah lama tak update...sorry kalau buat sesapa tertunggu2.
apapun thanks for all the comments.

yang berharga

2005-12-02T07:55:00.000+08:00

i am quite busy plus don't have anything to write.
writer block le kononnya heh
ada tu ada tapi tak dapat nak ditulis.
samaada tak sempat ataupun bila nak tulis jek dah hilang inspirasinya.

tapi semalam ada terbaca mutiara kata nih:

masa itu berharga, maka gunakanlah untuk benda2 yang berharga

i guess that can also be applied to our love/affection etc.
i.e. bagi kepada orang yang berharga/penting utk kita?

will update more later.

about my boss again.
time ni ada kelakar
ada yang hampeh hahaha

honjya

Boss aku

2005-11-17T08:40:00.000+08:00

Aku heran betul dengan boss aku skang nih.

Pagi2 lagi dah high pace.

Lain betul dengan aku. Aku pagi2 slow jek, masuk pukul 10 tuh baru enjin dah panas and it keep like that until 7pm. Tapi boss aku nih pagi2 buta dah bercakap with high tone, ke hulu ke hilir tanya subordinates dia ( more to like menyibuk jek to me).

Cuba la pagi2 tuh relax dulu, buat schedule ke pebende ke?

Instead of menyibuk tepi aku, borak benda2 remeh…

Arrgghhh…

Chemistry 101, what happens when cold substance meets hot one?
Either one will crack. And I think the one who is cracking is me.

to his credit, he's an okay boss laa...walaupun takde pengalaman dalam industry press machine he's been quite a great help. tapi please la...pepagi cuba cool down skit.

Saiaku.

shichi=7

2005-11-10T20:41:00.000+08:00

7=Nana

Jangan tersilap, nana tuh tujuh dalam bahasa jepun. So kepada nana-kirana, you know you got seven lives. Kirana tuh life kan? Hehe

Takde orang tag aku, tapi just for the fun of it, aku pun try2 le nak tulis benda nih.

7 benda nak buat/ada sebelum mati

1. Naik haji bersama dengan abah, mak dan isteri (hopefully)

2. Debt free and financially stable. Skang pun aku debt free, coz takde beli rumah etc. tapi in a few years melambak2 le hutang aku. Kereta takde, rumah takde.

3. Gi melancong ke Turkey (Istanbul) , Mesir, New Zealand (Lord of The Ring), dan Isfahan kat Iran. NO, I don’t want to go to Japan anymore. Well, for snowboarding okay kot?

4. Know I choose my career wisely and already did something for society in general, contoh macam buat buku ke pebenda ke?

5. Nak boleh cakap inggeris sampai berabuk. Skang ni setakat cakap biasa2 jek. Nak sampai B.I aku tu semahir B.Jepun aku.

6.Taubat nasuha.

7. Nak ada naked bike macam BMW 650CS ke, Honda CB400 or CB600, paling cikai pun Blade 650. paling cikai la kan? Kereta aku tak minat sangat. Asal boleh bawak dari point A to B safely is okay.

8. Nak ada keluarga yang bahagia dan membahagiakan org2 lain.

7 benda aku tak boleh buat

1. concentrate on little teeny-weeny details.

2. Bangun pagi terus rasa segar. Usually aku terkebil2 for a few minutes sambil gerakkan jari tangan dan kaki before bangun.kekadang tu setengah jam terkebil-kebil. nak buat camne, tekanan darah aku rendah.

3. not talking to myself alone. And macam nana, I’m not crazy. It’s just that the thought had to be let out, dlm bm kita panggil ekacakap

4. tak boleh tak mesti nak baca komik. Skang ni masih setia baca komik jepun naruto etc, pedang setiawan.

5. dulu aku ingat aku tak boleh tinggalkan tv, but since I’m busy with master etc. boleh plak aku tinggalkan tv. Tv has no drugging effect on me anymore. Yess!!!

6. Minat pasukan bola, tak kisah le johor fc, arsenal ke, man utd ke? To me it’s just a soccer club. Tak de la aku nak berjaga depan tv tengok bola. I just don’t have it in me for soccer.

7. Makan a full meal before going for a long drive. Mesti mengantuk tengah jalan. So, kalau ada nak kena drive jejauh tuh, biasanya aku makan alas perut jek.

7 benda yang aku boleh buat

1. Dok kat depan pc baca blog lama2

2. tulis jawi dengan baik, tapi tak secantik adik2 aku yg johan sek/daerah

3. blind typing, tak yah tengok keyboard dah. berkat aku suka chatting dulu hahaha

4. baca buku cerita, tengok tv etc sampai oblivious to my surrounding. hatta org panggil aku pun aku boleh tak sedar.

5. baca buku yang aku minat berulang2 kali. macam A walk to remember, lagenda numerius, goblet of fire, etc.

6. jalan sorang2 ke mana2. lone ranger katakan...

7. makan roti 60sen saja for my dinner.

7 things that attract me to opposite sex

1. Kulit cerah dari aku.

2. slim tapi bukan kurus cekeding, no cushioning effect what?hehehe

3. religion-wise more or less like me.

4. at least has a degree etc.

5. jenis yang ceria, extrovert.

6. sedap mata memandang. (ni subjektif)

7. manja ngan aku tapi at the same time independent. Ada ke orang camni?

8. bonus nih, kalau pakai spek pun okay gak.

Ish terlebih la plak hehehe

7 things I always say

1. majideska? (betul ke?)

2. hmmm….

3. assoo? ( yer ke?)

4. tengoklah nanti?

5. shouganai ( tak leh buat apa dah)

6. attari mae ( of course)

Selamat Hari Raya

2005-10-29T10:42:00.000+08:00

Kepada semua pembaca blog saikousaiaku nih.

dan
Maaf Zahir dan Batin.
Mohon kemaafaan kalau ada salah dan silap,

Bagi sesiapa yang nak balik kampung tuh, berhati2 di jalan raya. moga selamat sampai ke tempat tujuan masing2

bulan puasa 2

2005-10-25T18:17:00.000+08:00

Dulu masa sekolah, target 30 juzuk nak habiskan dlm bulan ramadhan. Rasanya ada jugaklah time yang dapat. Skang ni dah keja, dan makin sibuk dengan macam2, kira downgrade skit. Target 15 juzuk for this whole holy month. Tinggal satu juzuk jek lagi nak capai target. Well, not bad. Bila buat target, buat yang boleh dicapai. Nak buat yang tak boleh dicapai bukan tak boleh, tapi it would take too much of everything.
Malam tadi solat tarawikh sebelah seorang atuk nih. I just can’t help it but my eyes were quite watery. That atuk reminds me of my late atuk who passed away last july. I guess I’m still human after all. I thought my heart already gone numb. Alhamdullillah that’s not the case. Alhamdulillah and al-fatihah.
I should be doing istikharah to know whether it’s best if I do master full time or do it part-time. Banyak pro dan contra. Skang tengah buat pro-contra list. Contra’s biggest point was funding. I won’t have any funding for the whole year. Most probably kena jadi guru tuisyen ke guru bahasa jepun ataupun freelance interpreter. Pro’s biggest point? Do something new and different. I guess once you are in a comfort zone, it’s hard to cabut all those akar2 yang dah berselirat di bawah punggung nih. Tapi tak buat2 lagi. Afraid of the outcome kot?hmmm...
cerita pasal master nih, puas gak le tanya ramai orang apsal depa jadi pensyarah kan? Macam2 jawapan. Ada yang nak keja ngan kerajaan due to its many benefits etc. and job stability. Ada yang nak keja equivalent dengan kelayakan master. Ada yang jadi memang nak jadi pensyarah coz masa kerja yang flexible (ni paling ramai), ada gak yang memang nak jadik pensyarah pasal kerja pensyarah ni menabur ilmu, bagi sumbangan kat next generation of future engineers (chewah!). yang paling aku kagum dengan sorang mat nih. Dia skang buat PhD kat England, sebelum dia pegi ke sana dah ada sykt amik tender ratus ribu, yet he dropped that and now pursuing his PhD. Reason? Well, according to him, he wanted to be a businessman with a PhD, now that’s a very unique reason. Sama macam si Fazley penyanyi tu la. I think when he get his PhD in Business Admin, he’ll be the only singer in Malaysia with a Dr. in his name. kagum kagum. Atau macam kak atenah yang buat PhD coz according to her, she wanted to be daring or nothing. Perghhh…now that’s something.
Paling menakjubkan, my weight has gone all time low. Daripada 62kg ke 55.5 kg?! kalau bukak puasa jadi 57kg! pergh….terasa ringan semacam jek badan nih hahaha. Not that I’m that conscious on my weight, except I try to maintain a ‘healthy’ BMI, but 57kg?! rekod ni! :P

Kenangan di bulan puasa

2005-10-20T12:38:00.000+08:00

Bulan puasa, 聖なる断食の月。
そんなに大変ではなかったが。。。
水飲めないことつらかった。。。

1. buka puasa kat kelas Cuma dengan air sup jagung dan roti kacang merah….
Hujung minggu baru le berkumpul bebudak mesia bukak puasa ramai2.

solat sunat terawikh kat surau. Nak pergi waktu malam masa winter memang sejuk. Dah duduk kat Hokkaido. Waktu malam biasaya around -7 to -9 darjah celcius. Alhamdullillah diberi kekuatan pergi berjemaah, kekadang buat kat rumah jek. Imam dia seorang hafiz dari Pakistan buat PhD in engineering….

pasal solat sunat witir nak buat 2+1 ataupun 3 rakaat terus, berselisih pendapat jugak le dengan sorang mat Pakistan mazhab hanafi/hambali nih..he was soo persistant in doing 3 rakaat straight. Last2 malas nak bertekak, imam tuh buat jek 3. benda sunat bakpe nak gaduh2? Tapi aku sunat witir buat sorang2. 2+1 gak.

kekadang tuh puas gak nak terangkan ke org jepun pasal puasa nih. Ada yang tanya ‘korang nih puasa terus siang malam ke?’.

5.sibuk buat kad raya sendirik. Hantar balik ke Malaysia or hantar ke kawan2 di Jepun. Pernah gak buat bisness jual kad raya…hahaha

apa lagi ‘ek? Aku tak ingat aku ikut training aikido ke tak? Tak kot? Hmmm…my memory fails me again.

7. tanya kepada kawan2 ada tak lagu raya…nak pasang kat computer hahaha.last2 pesan trus kepada senior yang balik Malaysia suh beli bawak ke jepun.

teringin sangat nak masuk rancangan sampaikan salam aidilfitri yang keluar kat tv tuh…hampeh, Hokkaido jauh sangat dari Tokyo.

Hard impact

2005-10-06T11:17:00.000+08:00

I just have to share this with you guys. Soo hilarious.

Minggu lepas adik saya jadik pemeriksa peperiksaan lisan utk bebudak stpm kat Bandar Penawar, Kota Tinggi. Lepas sarapan kat Desaru, dia kena pergi ke bilik kebal di balai polis utk ambik kertas peperiksaan.
So dia bawak le kelisa dia dalam 100km/j. normal right? Jalan takde orang, he’s the only one driving there. So no harm right?

Wrong!!!

Nak dijadikan ceritanya, tiba2 ada sekor haiwan ni yang meluru keluar sebaik saja kereta adik saya lalu kat satu kawasan nih.

BAM!!!

Berlakulah satu perlanggaran tragis antara keta kelisa adik saya ngan hewan tuh.

Upon impact, hewan tuh terpelanting beberapa meter,
keta adik saya radiator pecah, bumper hancur, bonet depan remuk in fact he can’t even move his car. The car just went dead.

As for the hewan, miraculously hewan tuh bangkit balik and berdesup masuk hutan.
Boleh tahan jugak kuat hewan tuh. Nak tau pedia?

Babi hutan.

Yup babi hutan! Hahahaha

Menyumpah2 adik saya kat babi hutan tuh.

"Memang b**i betul la babi hutan tuh.
Kalau boleh jalan lagi kelisa tuh, aku langgar balik babi tuh!" komen adik saya

Rupa-rupanya, babi hutan tuh keluar waktu subuh dan maghrib jek. Dan lagi, kalau dia nampak sumber cahaya, dia akan kejar sumber cahaya tuh. In this case, it was my brother car’s lamp. Patutlah orang2 tempatan cuma bawak around 40km/j jek kat kawasan tuh…

Well lesson learnt the unexpected way.

Patutnya majlis tempatan letak signboard

Awas, babi hutan
Jangan lebih 40km/j

I think this will prove to be an effective way to curb overspeed at road. hahahaha

update?

2005-10-04T17:09:00.000+08:00

Pada yang selalu datang,
sorry pasal lama dah tak updet blog.
macam2 terjadi kat hidup saya.
dari segi kerja dan private life.
work-wise,i think i'll move from my comfort zone.

will tell mana yang boleh after this.
tapi keja memang sibuk,
masa utk bloghopping pun yang selalu pegi jek.
cam hana, kak a10,riza,tipahvogue,atasya etc.

apapun selamat menyambut bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak kepada semua pembaca blog yang beragama Islam.
Moga bulan ini kehidupan kita lebih diberkati, Insyaallah.

honjya.

zombie

2005-09-15T18:57:00.000+08:00

eh?!patah pulak pinggang aku nih

i think i'm turning into a zombie.
not right away,
but slowly being the undead...

coz i think the passion for my work/life has dwindling by the day.
i'm at the crossroad.
where in front of you are a signboard which says (or writes)

now what to do with my life?

apa nak buat haa?????

i'm getting restless and panas bontot in my current comfort zone.
i need a new challenge so as not becoming a zombie.
you know,
breathing in and out everyday.
yet stopped living already.

need to do some istikharah prayers
a lot of question to ask

lega sikit aku tulis kat sini.

Ada gak macam kak atn yang bagi contoh macam di barat, indicate je kat wedding present catalog, pastuh bagi kat kengkawan. Biar je kengkawan tuh bertungkus lumus kumpul duit beli hadiah. Kinda mengada2 mintak hadiah, but hey that’s much more practical kan? Kat Malaysia ni susah sikit kot.

Well, as I said, I wanted to give the husband something much more symbolic yet practical. So I opted for these two.

Madu lebah hutan ( Pahang mari) and earplug.
Hehehehe. The symbolic of the present?

Madu lebah hutan, obvious la kan? For extra energy and vitality, you know tengah2 HONEYmoon nih hahahaha

And earplug? Here what I wrote to them.

To **** and &&&&

Dulu aku pernah dengar;

Time bercouple, lelaki cakap banyak, perempuan dengar banyak
Time bertunang, lelaki dan perempuan sama bercakap banyak
Time dah kahwin, perempuan pulak banyak ‘bercakap’

So dude, whenever the going gets noisy,

use the earplug. hahahaha

Courtesy from me, your bujang friend.

btw, for my wedding present. I'd like to have book. Any kind of book.
gift voucher pun okay gak.
tapi macam si hana, some cool apple laptop won't hurt at all hahaha

ish ngengader betul aku nih.
awek takde lagi, dah berangan muwahahaha

Renjis-renjis dipilis,

Ditepungilah tawar

Hai, beras kunyit ditabur

Disiram si air mawar

(taken from kak shidah’s page)

Next week will mark the beginning of a new life together for my friends and a whole lot other couples as well.
Yes, my fellow bloggers. The season of the wedding. Ahhh…the season where the couple will be wedded and the singles will be shielding all the tormenting question and that look from pakcik, makcik and everybody.
Ohh..please, don’t say to me you haven’t been asked that kind of questions.

Kawan saya kat kilang ni minggu lepas ada sorang yang dah bernikah.
Hujung minggu ni baru majlis kat tempat dia.
Masaalahnya sekarang nih nak bagi hadiah apa ke dia?
Once I gave a toaster to my friend for her wedding and guess what?
Mine is one of the three toasters that she received.

I’m much more of a practical person, i.e. I would like to help my friend build their life with the present that I gave them, hence the toaster. Tapi apparently, bukan saya sorang saja yang berfikiran sedemikian.

Apa nak bagi ‘ek?
Cawan dan gelas memang out of question. Mesti dah ramai yang bagi.
Barang2 dapur mesti dah banyak yang diorang dapat.
Foto album? Hmm….that’s a popular gift too.
As I said, something practical, something that would remind them of me straightaway.
Dulu pernah bagi electrical stuff, macam lampu, socket etc…tapi dah bagi tu terasa cam too common plak?
Bagi sapa2 yang nak kawin ataupun dah kawin, apa hadiah yang rasanya korang nak?

Of course, the tought that count most, but I would really like to be the most thoughtful of them all hehehehe :)

And no, saya tak nak bagi duit. Too easy.

Ada cadangan tak?
Something symbolic to their marriage, their faith to each other and to the man,
the willingness to be ‘chained’ hehehe.

Kepada semua yang akan bernikah, tahniah dan moga diberkati hidup anda berdua hingga ke akhir hayat.

ご結婚おめでとうございます。末永くお幸せに

At office.

Me: ni nak pegi kenduri kawin rumah Zol camne?

My asst : nak ikut jalan mana?

Me : ingat nak ikut jalan sungai buluh. Boleh kan?

My asst. : boleh gak, terus jek pastuh sampai kat T-junction err….take your right.

Me : (suspicion mode turn-on) kanan? Betul ke kanan?

My asst. : Betul, just take the road on your right, and in no time you’ll be there.

Me: Kanan dan bukan kiri?

My asst. : Kanan, bukan kiri.

Me : hmm..okay. ( I just can’t shake off that feeling of something will go wrong)

On my bike

Me: okay this is the T-junction, so on my right then.

After a while.

Me: ( apsal aku kat kawasan kilang nih?) Eh? Ni jalan nak gi port pasir gudang!

Eiii…I should have taken the left road tadi.Hampeh betul la minah tuh....
something wrong with her sense of direction?

Nasib baik puding tempat Zol tuh sedap. I've always love pudding hehe :D
Merah menyala baju pengantin,
putih berseri sanding pelamin,
Hopefully their love, passion and devotion to each other will always burn for years to come,
and may their pure love leads the way.
:)

things you can't choose

My former japanese boss said this to me once,

'There are things you can't choose in this world.
Such as you can't choose who you'll parent be,
and you can't choose your boss'

hmmm...
how apt.

hampeh

Study Group

2005-08-08T08:55:00.000+08:00

We the part-timers have set up amongst ourselves a study group. Basically we meet up and try to solve some advance math question.As we don't really have time for study, this is the most effective way. But what really happens is just the normal stuff. You know? Copy sana tiru sini hehehe

No lah, we discuss those question we can’t really solve and crack our head open in order to do that. Now, for your guys’ information, this study group basically consist of 5 people. Two Indonesian and the rest is Malaysian. Only one is part-timer and he is an Indonesian. The other Indonesian is an engineer working at Pasir Gudang, quite near to where I’m working at the moment. The other two work quite near to the university, but I digress…

Anyway, during the ‘discussion’ there’ll be some clash of language. Excerpt as per below:

Indo guy 1: yang ini bagaimana deh?

Me: oh, yang ini kena differentiate dulu, kembangkan and then lepas tuh buat partial fraction. Lepas tuh kita batalkan mana2 yang sama atas dengan bawah lepas tuh baru ikut Cauchy integral theorem.

Indo guy 1: ohh…gitu yah? Kita differentiate, jabarkan dulu, partial fraction emmmm…udah begitu kita coretkan yang mana sama gitu?

Me: (in a dumbfounded manner) err..ha’ah err..coretkan yang di atas dan di bawah…

Emm…frankly speaking the conversation would have been quite difficult for me due to different ‘term’, had I not always watch Indonesian tv. Dulu selalu sangat tengok ‘sinetron’ ( drama ) tv so I can guess what he was trying to say.

Btw, do you know that in Indonesian language, the usage of aku dan kamu is only used between lovers, antara cowok dan cewek? Kalau BM, perkataan aku dan kamu itu just the normal engkau, gua, lu etc. but in B Ind, apparently it’s the other way round.

So kalau gi Indonesia jangan cuba2 guna aku dan kamu. Guna saya atau gue (lagi rapat) dan awak. Selamat sikit.

There are other stuffs that we got to know too. Contohnya kalau orang2 Padang dan Sumatra tuh hantaran kahwinnya ikut education level anak gadis. Lagi tinggi anak dia belajar, lagi laaa tinggi hantarannya hehehehe.kat Malaysia ni macam orang Kedah, so I heard…
Good thing I prefer johorian ;)

Sesaja, just so

2005-08-04T09:53:00.000+08:00

Basically speaking, i don't really read sajak stuff.
For me, you got to have the right 'jiwa' to really appreciate the sajak.
I'd prefer pantun, cerpen, sketsa etc.
Tapi kadang2 akan ada sajak yang meruntun jiwa kan?

Below is one of those sajak.
I got it from Yam's blog.
Somebody sent her that sajak by sms,
and it seems that yam was quite, no, very delighted with
that somebody's effort.

Kekasih

Akan kupintal buih-buih
menjadi tali mengikatmu

akan kuanyam gelombang-gelombang
menjadi hamparan ranjang tidurmu

akan kutenun awan gemawan
menjadi selendang menudungi rambutmu

akan kujahit bayu gunung
menjadi baju pakaian malammu

akan kupetik bintang timur
menjadi kerongsang menyinari dadamu

akan kujolok bulan tembaga
menjadi lampu menyuluhi rindu

akan kurebahkan mentari
menjadi laut malammu menghirup sakar madumu

kekasih
hitunglah mimpi yang membunuh realiti dengan syurga ilusi

Sasterawan Negara Allahyarham Usman Awang

I wonder la kan...
if i were to sent this,
would it have the same effect?

hehehehe

#1. Masuk belajar balik

I am taking master in engineering at a southern university as some already have known. It is a part-time program the same as sue is taking right now, she's taking something about IT i think,although I’m not too sure about the way it’s done at her U.

Anyway, I’m taking advance engineering math this sem. It’s a core subject i.e. I can’t avoided it. Truth to be told, I’m not that good in Math…hmmm..
I bought the text book and I just can’t help wondering why in the world is the book must be that BIG?! I mean, just by looking at it you’d know it’ll be heavy, and yes it’s heavy! At around 2.5kg…that is one of the heaviest book I have right now.

On the left is similar book that I used during my study at Japan. Also advance math book, they called it advance mathematical analysis. Granted it only have 5 chapters but still the size is small and easy to carry around. Content wise is very good, I still use it nowadays.

Hmm…berat buku = beratnya ilmu?

Tidak sebegitu bukan?

#2 Frasa.

I took these phrase ( panggil frasa ke? Tolong betulkan kalau salah) from somebody named Saksila Lekir at Hana’s homepage. I am posting it here because I think it’s very good and very sweet.

Tanya pada yang tahu

Menuntut pada yang pandai

Menjual pada yang membeli

Merajuk pada yang sudi

Berkasih pada yang sayang

Nice huh?tolong tambah kalau tau mana yang sejiwa dengan frasa di atas.

Btw, patutlah takde orang nak merajuk dengan saya!

hahahaha

#3 Match making

Sebulan yang lepas

Kak ngah (adik ipar): long, nak kenal tak dengan kawan saya? Dia nih baik orangnya, lemah lembut, tapi umur dia sebaya dengan long le…
Aku: hmm???? Errr…berkenalan ngan kawan kak ngah?hmmm…tengoklah nanti.

A week later after that
Sms coming: long, ni number dia, nama dia s***. Telepon ler..
Aku: (buat tak tau jek)

Two weeks after that

Ngah: camne long? Nak on ke tak? Dia tunggu je nko telepon…
Aku: emmmmmmmmm….tak pe lah kot? Suruh dia cari orang lain.
Ngah: okaylah camtu , jangan nko nyesal pulak nanti.

Last week:
Kak ngah: long, ni ha gambar dia….
Aku: mmmm. Meh tengok.
Mak aih!!!! Cantik jugak dia nih! hahahahaha! Menyesal aku tolak dulu hehe
Keja apa dia nih?
Kak ngah: kawan saya masa sekolah dulu, skang jadi ustazah kat s***. Budak UIA tau?!
Aku: ooohhhh…
hmmmm… (dalam hati: patutnya tengok gambar dulu )
Segan pulak kalau nak on balik hahaha
Kak ngah: kalau nak boleh aje..before dia kena posting kat Sarawak sana…
Aku:……

tapi rasanya saya tak mintak nak 'on'kan balik kot.
reason?
hmmm.... :)

Two years...

2005-07-15T08:16:00.000+08:00

Lama sudah saya menunggu. Dah nak dekat dua tahun. Actually sejak tahun 2000 lagi dah kenal. So what…it has been nearly 5 years since my first encounter?5 years is one quite long timeframe...

Tapi jumpanya cuma sekejap sekejap sahaja. Apa nak buat dah keadaan saya dan dia begini. But I persist and Alhamdulillah this Saturday, I’ll have the opportunity to feel that magic once again.

Masa tahun 2000 tuh, musim sejuk. Biasalah, Hokkaido semasa musim sejuk tak pernah mengenal suhu diatas -5 darjah celcius. Ditambah lagi dengan waktu itu saya sedang sibuk sangat dengan final year thesis. Tapi sanggup juga saya meredah salji semata-mata nak berjumpa dengan dia.

My last encouter was on 2003. Sejak dari itu, rindu saya pada dia tak boleh ditahan tapi apakan daya cuma itu sahaja kesempatan yang ada.

But that will end this Saturday. At long last, we'll meet again.
My dear blogger friends, at long last dapat jugaklah saya bersama dengan idola saya.

Harry Potter!!!!

Hahahahahahaha.
Yes, this coming Saturday the newest installment of Harry Potter books; Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince will be available to the public! Saya dah buat tempahan sejak May lalu, so you can imagine how eager I am to have my hand on this book.

Sayangnya saya ada kelas pada pagi Sabtu itu, kalau tak sebelum kedai buku tu buka saya dah terpacak kat situ hehehe :P

Dua tahun sanggup menunggu, setakat sehari lebih nih takde bende la.

Next book in my list: Exile Return by Robert E. Feist, Buku ke-8 Lagenda Artakusiad oleh Ahmad Patria Abdullah, last book in Barthemius Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud.
Banyak lagi sebenarnya.

Is there any book you are waiting for?

Japan and me part 1

2005-07-03T14:40:00.000+08:00

Sementelah ramai yang baru masuk U termasuk diri saya sendiri, teringin juga nak cerita pasal my life at Japan during my University days.

Apsal saya nak gi Jepun?

Three reasons.

The WHY was never really asked to me by anyone except during Mara scholarship (not really scholarship because I have to pay 10% of the amount ‘invested’ in me) interview. My answer to the interviewer was that I think there is much to be learned from this Asian Dragon, and in line with (ex) PM Tun (it was Dr.) Mahathir Look to East Policy, I would very like to heed that call.
I think that was what I answered, coz truth to be told I can’t really remember. This was 10 years ago!

The second reason was that I remembered one of my high school's senior commented that he won’t be going to US of A or UK for he thought that the surrounding is macamana nak cakap yek? Err..terlalu social? That’s why he opted for Japan.
Eh betul juga tuh? or so i thought. Little did I know that Japan is more or less the same in that sense with the rest of the developed country.hehehe (the word ‘spanking’ gives me a different image now...hehehe :P )

Third reason,

Tak pernah pun cakap kat sesapa rasanya tapi one of the reason I went to japan was that I wanted to learn Aikido.
Ha’ah aikido yang Steven Seagel selalu bantai orang kat dalam filem tuh. Hahaha kinda lame reason isn’t?
But I managed to get both my degree and my black belt in Aikido. I can never fully express my gratitude to Fujii Sensei and the rest of Aikido club members for teaching and training with me. Arigatou Gozaimashita.
Yes, i know, kinda cheesy reason to begin with, but i managed to get japanese college life there.

Sebenarnya ada dua interview ke luar negara yang saya dapat dan kedua-duanya adalah ke Jepun. Satu dari Mara dan satu lagi dari JPA.

I got offer from both of them. I opted for Mara because Mara offered a lot more choices of U than JPA back then.

So one month after the interview I enrolled into JMC (Japan Matriculation Center) at Cheras. It was one and a half year matriculation program and I tell you the first three month pressure was so great I was thinking of dropping out several time!

Tapi itu untuk cerita part 2

Btw, adik langsat pun ada sorang kat JPA’s Japan program, by this time he’s under intense pressure I think, so langsat, motivate your brother okay?!

Next week start dah sem ke2 kat UTM...
oohhh now comes the pening kepala dan sakit jantung hehehe

New semester 20052006

2005-07-03T14:23:00.000+08:00

Semalam adik saya Jauharah mendaftarkan diri dia utk kursus Sains Fizik Perubatan di UTM.Senang le utk dia balik rumah.apa taknya, dari UTM ke rumah kami cuma 10 minit jek!hehehe. Apapun, i hope she'll get through this episode of her life with flying colours and with lot of experiences.Tahniah jowrah :D

11hb Julai nanti, akan bermula juga semester kedua saya di UTM Skudai. This coming semester is going to be tough, as i'll be taking Adv Eng Math. wallau wehh...adv math has never been my favourite subjek even time kat U dulu pun. Kena berlatih banyak2 le gamaknya.
Other than that, i think this semester is going to be a little bit too tough, as i'll be the only part-time student. It was three of us, wong, lakhtar singh and me. tapi wong kecundang di tengah jalan....singh tu pulak gi jepun for some training...leaving me by myself.
Susah nak mintak other student to do night class if i am the only part-time student. I have no leverage on me.Mintak2 ada la part-time student baru this sem.Kalau takde....well, we'll see by that time.

oh ya, nak mengucapkan omedetou gozaimas kepada (Cik) Puan Suerinz kerana berjaya diterima masuk ke program master dlm bidang Sains dengan majoring in Database sebagai pelajar research 100% separuh masa. Cheers to three long years of hardship and tears and basically no private life hehehehe :P
All the best to you :)

Juga kepada Chika-chan yang berjaya masuk ke kursus Arkitek di UKM. She said it's quite uncommon for a female to study Architechture, don't know about that, but I really hope she'll do it great. Tahniah.

lastly, this is something my MD said to me sometime last week.

Do a little bit more, you'll go a long way.

nice :)

okaylah, have a nice week.

apa yang hang dengaq?

2005-06-22T11:31:00.000+08:00

世界中の中あなたを探している。

どこに居るのですか？

I’ve been wondering la kan…sesapa yang minat tengok cerita jepun kat TV ataupun VCD tu, assuming that you don’t really know Japanese, what is the most striking word that you could catch? i.e. how do you know what you are hearing is in Japanese and not in Korean or in Cantonese? Is it the intonation? Or the words or just plain gut feeling?ke tengok kimura takuya dah tau japanese, tengok andy lau tau dah cantonese/mandarin, tgk choi min su tau dah korean?

Dulu masa mula2 belajar bahasa Jepun, saya paling tak bagus dalam kelas hearing. Where you must sit and hear conversation between two people discussing everything under the sun, well not really la kan? First lesson involves just simple ohayo gozaimasu, konnichiwa, kombanwa, o namae wa nandeska? Anata wa kirei des ne..anata ga suki des :P and so on…

Skang ni dah okay dah, because I’ve been to Japan and lived there. Still I don’t really like hearing class.

Dulu tv Singapore ada siarkan rancangan berita dan drama bahasa jepun. What my father catches was just …shita,…shita…where in fact it was owarimashita or sumimashita or kakarimashita.

Interesting to note how human catches word etc.

What makes you know you are watching Japanese drama?

Just a little mistake in your technical drawing, and you could hear the whole factory screaming out your name...
it's a very saiaku day for me today...

Alarm alaf baru

2005-06-16T09:45:00.000+08:00

Sape ada masaalah bangun pagi?
Atau boleh bangun tapi susah nak bangkit?

Untuk masaalah kedua tuh biasanya disebabkan oleh low blood pressure. I know, I am having the same problem. Lagi2 masa kat jepun dulu, especially time winter. Oh my good the futon has never been soo warm in my entire life hehehe.

Tapi untuk masaalah pertama, other than usual alarm clock what do you do/use to get up on time?

Ada yang gunakan self-body alarm. Contohnya baca al-fatihah etc and then cakap ke diri sendiri: ‘ aku nak bangun pukul 6 pagi’. Insyaallah bangun le pukul 6 pagi.

Tapi camne nak buat kalau tak boleh jalan gak cara2 diatas? Kenot gou bak kata my kelate friend.

Ever heard of nanotechnology? Basically it’s the technology where all the machines are built in nano yardstick. Nano is the SI term for 10^-9m = 0.000000001m. In layman term, it very very small. Wikipedia defines nanotechnology as

[Nanotechnology comprises technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1 to 100 nm. (One nanometer equals one thousandth of a micrometer or one millionth of a millimeter.) The term has sometimes been applied to microscopic technology.]

What if we can construct a machine, a nanomachine that could act as an alarm clock?
We place this nano clock in your body(!) so that at designated time it will proceed to kacau you until you are awake. The best place I think would be in your ears.

Yes you heard/read me right. Dalam lubang telinga tuh.

Say you set this nano clock at 6 a.m, so come the time this nano clock will either ring ( I doubt this can be done though), or it will grow some kind of tentacle and start rubbing the inner part of you ear. I bet you will not be able to sleep once the nano alarm kick off.

I know for sure guys… I had the experience.

Dua tiga malam yang lepas, adalah makhluk allah ni yang cukup baik hati masuk dalam telinga aku dan start berguling2 dalam tuh. Tickling sensation won’t give justice to what I experienced. I just woke wide open and start korek telinga furiously. Mind you, it was soo effective that I had no time to feel ngantuk lagi dah. From sleep to full conciousness. Very effective.

I think it was a stray ant looking for some treasure, but the ant got into wrong cave…:P

And don’t worry, I think I already had that ant out of my ear.

I think.

Hehehe.

Tanjung Piai

2005-06-14T11:11:00.000+08:00

Minggu lepas kena jadi driver paksarela utk bawak adik dan kawan2 dia jalan2 sekitar johor. Well not really the whole johor state because we were just covering several places. Danga Bay, JB, Taman Negara Pulau Kukup, Taman Negara Tanjung Piai, the most southern place at Asia continent and Kota Tinggi waterfall.

It was great. I had the much needed break from work stress, tapi penat gak le nak bawak van tua tuh. The girls were having a good time and sweet memories of last weekend. This is to be their one of many reunions for the years to come I hope.

Jauharah (my sister) sure does know how to organize a tour.

Tapi one thing for sure, lain kali kena bawak member lelaki,kalau tak mati kutu gak hahaha :-)

pagi di tanjung piai. 7.05pagi

tazhaba ila aina? (emmm...my arabic kinda rusty)

The girls, my sister is the fourth from left.

The southernmost tip of mainland Asia.

sapa2 yang pergi ke sini boleh dapatkan sijil pengesahan.Satu sijil dalam Rm10 atau RM5, you could have you named printed out nicely or if you go there without any reservation still you can buy that and write your own name later.
kat tanjung piai pun ada jugak nightwalk and tengok kunang2 tapi kena hadir dlm pkl 8 mlm,after 9pm there weren't many fireflies around.

Overall, quite good a weekend :)

honjya and have a good day.

色々 = iro iro = macam macam

So there are few things that I would like to write for this iro iro entry.

Iro iro 1

Sem lepas punya result baru je dapat isnin nih. Dan alhamdulillah, lulus semua subjek. Both exam based subject’s result was B.

saikou!!!!! 最高!!!

The result was okay but I know I could have done better if I can juggle between my work at office and my study. Last semester was much of a trial-out semester, to see whether I have it in me the ability to do my master program. Nampaknya okay je, jadi saya akan teruskan jugak le sampai ke hujung jalan. Insyaallah bulan 12 tahun 2007, bila saya dah berusia 30 tahun, saya dah ada master in engineering. After that, IR/PE plak kot?
IR Zakzak....gempak sehhh hahahaha

I don’t really aim for straight A’s, I’m content with what I’m doing right now, to learn new things and to try different stuff other than my job.

Iro iro 2

Two of my friends are taking PTD examination ( do they call it examination btw?)

So to lin-langsat and hana-kirana, all the best for your PTD. Kalau lepas nanti jangan lupa belanja makan hahaha
Di bawah ni ada satu link ditulis gak oleh PTD officer. I guess it’ll help both of my friends and to others as well.
Selain dari link kat bawah ni, akak tu pun ada tulis gak pasal PTD related stuff macam exam, assessment standard etc. so please browse.

I had a very unexpected yet pleasant suprise last Tuesday.

thank you friend.

i appreciated it very much hehehe
pas nih kena buat baju melayu cekak musang warna hitam ke putih nak bagi matching.

being a johorean, lama gila dah tak pakai baju cekak musang...raya tahun ni cuba balik leh.

honjya.

answer the question please

2005-06-02T13:20:00.000+08:00

sesi interview yang baru je aku handle.

Q: so tell me about yourself
A: my name is ****. I am the eldest daughter in a family of 5 siblings. I am schooled at Sek. Rendah ****. After that, I go to Sek. Men. ****. After my SPM, I joined *** where I studied *****. I did my industrial training at *****.bla bla bla
I have a cat name buyung and I love her very much.

Q: (dlm hati, hah? tu jek?you are not ASWERING MY QUESTION!)

I know the answer given by the candidate was gramatically wrong. I just wrote as per what I heard. But the main point is she did not answer my question.
Apa kejadahnya ko cakap pasal kucing nko! apa kena mengena kucing nko dengan kerja yang ko nak buat. Oh mai god. please le...

tips untuk sesapa yang nak gi interview.

erk, nak gi meeting jap, satgi saya update.

ok, sorry for the delay.Bz banyak kat sini.
(ada masa nak updet plak tuh?!)

tips utk sesapa yang nak gi interview.

bila saya tanya 'tell me about yourself' what I want to hear from you is your charachteristics that will make you the perfect candicate for the post. Positive aspect of yourself, and if there is negative ones, how would you overcome that in order to be a better person and better staff.
So kalau cerita saya ni anak sulung dari 5 adik beradik, don't just stop at there, tell the interviewer that by being the eldest means you are no stranger to responsibility and you are able to lead people. Tell them more about being independent type of person by telling them what you did when you were in high school or in Uni.
Jangan pulak cerita saya ada kucing parsi bulu merah jambu. Of course that would be interesting stuff la kan, pink tuh! Tapi mana ada kena mengena dengan kerja yang nak dibuat?

Nothing.

For the record, cerita pasal kucing tu memang saya buat2 je hehehe just to spice up thing.
Tapi still, they don't really answer my question.

Banyak tip2 nak menghadiri interview, kat internet ni melambak. So be prepared.

oh yes, another thing. Be keen, attentive, semangat during the interview, jangan buat tak semangat. That would be a no no thing to do.

All the best to you guys yang nak cari kerja :)

honjya.

p/s: my favourite question:
Macamana awak nak convince saya supaya ambik awak jadi assistant saya? (depend on the candicate, convince tukar jadi pikat :P hehehe )

Frozen meat in Darul Yaban

2005-05-27T10:05:00.000+08:00

Some of you might know that I had my undergrad study at Japan. My university is situated at Hokkaido Island, the northern island of Japan.

Being a northern island at a cold climate country is no kidding matter. Sejuk woo time winter. The coldest temperature that I experienced was around -12degree Celcius. There are even places where the temperature was around -23.

Banyak kenangan kat jepun tuh…

Satu kenangan yang paling tak boleh lupa ialah pasal cara kreatif nak simpan daging ayam. You see, being a northern island in winter is no fun unless you know how to make the best out of the harsh condition there. In winter, other than the freezing temperature, you go to face the snow. Man, it was harsh yet enjoyable. One day outside it’s still gloom with all the barren trees and all, but the next day, lo and behold!

White snow! As white, fluffy and pure as you can imagine.

Being an island gives Hokkaido a very peculiar and special kind of snow. It’s called powder snow, because the snow’s structure is very fine. Whenever I went for snowboarding, the ride is soo smooth and very engaging to say the least.

Okaylah, back to daging ayam story.

Ada sorang kohai (=junior) Malaysian nih. 1^st year memang dok kat ryo (=hostel ). So time winter dia malas nak gi ulang alik ke kedai makanan halal nak beli daging ayam. Dia beli la 4 ketul sekali gus, tahan sebulan dia kata. Masaalahnya fridge kat bilik dia cuma boleh sumbat 2 ketul je dalam fridge tuh. 2 ketul lagi camane?

So being a smart guy that he is (sarcastically) he came up with a brilliant idea.

Apa kata taruk je dalam timbunan salji kat luar? His reasoning was, even outside temperature is lower than the frige, so dia korek dua lubang, dan kambuskan daging ayam tu, content that he has solved his problem.Tak pasti pulak dia ada tinggalkan tanda...

Simple yet brilliant solution don’t you think? Use the nature to help us. Bakpe susah2 masuk dalam fridge? I was quite impressed with the guy.

Tapi tu lah, ada je yang tak kena.

The thing was he forgot where he put those frozen meat. Dia carik le the whole area poking into the snow searching for his frozen meat.Carik high and low ler. I bet it was quite a sight. Last2 dia give up.(penat aku cucuk2 tak jumpa :he said)

Sampai habis winter tak jumpa daging ayam dia. Now that I think of it , maybe somebody else yang terjumpa dan took it already. (there aren’t any stray dog at Hokkaido)
Hahahaha! I had a laugh whenever I think of this incident.

So to pedum (if he ever read this), lenkali jangan lupa mana ko letak daging ayam tuh! :P

I'll post something more about winter next time, pasal snowboarding kot?

Have a nice and barkah day.

Honjya.

Of being older ( and not old)

2005-05-26T09:43:00.000+08:00

Kalau ikutkan takwim hijrah tahun lepas bulan 8 lagi aku dah berumur 28 tahun.Tapi pasal biasanya kita ikut takwim masihi maka dua hari yang lepas jadilah aku manusia berumur 28 tahun.

What does that tells me?

Well, I still got two years to be 30 hahahaha. And like kak melah ms, another 27 years to retirement heh

And still a few things to achieve before that.

One of them is being a master graduate from UTM, that’s academically, while professionally I do want to sit for my IR or PE (professional engineer) exam once I fulfilled the 3 years ‘waiting’ time. Other stuffs let it be known me only hehehe.

Being 28 years old (I still prefer young hehe) man, I realised that I can’t really go wondering endlessly what I want to do; it’s time I put on my action hat. To be fair, some of the thing is an ongoing process, such as my master study. Tapi macam jodoh, I still waiting and looking high and low hahahaha.

That’s why I have to tell her, let’s stop and be just friend. She needs to forget about me and look for a better guy for herself.

Okaylah, enough with heavy stuff and let’s do some simple test to determine whether you are really old or not, or better still do you really as old or young as you think?

It’s easy, what you need is just a stopwatch. Btw, it’s called 10 second test.

Get one of your friends to do this with you. What you have to do is count from 1 to 10 in 10 seconds, means 1 number in 1 second. Ask you friend to take the time you count from 1 to 10. Senang kan?

I saw this test when I was watching some infotainment (makluburan) programme at Japan tv. (Japan tv programme is way better in infotainment stuff anywhere in the world I think).

Dah dapat result dah?

Well if you do this test to your younger brother/sister or son/daughter i.e. small children, the result would be it’ll take for them less than 10 seconds to count those 10 seconds.

If your test subject is your father or somebody older, way way older person, than it’ll take them more than 10 seconds to actually count 10 seconds.

But if you ask average adult, more or less they could count 10 seconds accurately or at least within range of plus minus 1 second.

This is due how we perceived time which closely related to our body rhythm.
I can safely say that once in a while we feel that time pass by so quickly, even though time just pass as normal in any day ( discounting any relation to Einstein general relativity theory). This happen to older people more often than not.

so kalau result yang keluar tuh menunjukkan 10 saat anda lebih lama dari 10 saat di stopwatch tuh….sedarlah anda memang sudah tua muwaahahahahahaha. to Hana-san, i bet your 10 seconds is one minute muwahahaha, same to joe gak :P

Disclaimer: this is what I still remember after seeing the tv programme 4 or 5 years back. Mungkin ada silap sana sini skit about the facts, but the test remains valid. There are those who are not affected by this test, especially those who always work using stopwatch. For example timekeeper at tournament.

Go try this test with your friend, family

Side note:

Once an audience told Einstein that he can’t understand what with all the relativity theory. Hearing that Einstein paused for a while and then give that man one example. ( I can’t really remember all of it but…here goes)

One hour talking to a beautiful blonde girl is like 10 seconds,
but 10 seconds beside a hot oven is like an hour.

Cleverly put hehehe

Oh ya, happy birthday to my friend amat amir kat kuktem, sama hari dengan aku.
And to the owner of WHG 4611, happy birthday to you too. Whoever you are.

Specky Specko Specka part 2

2005-05-24T18:53:00.000+08:00

amik nko, dua entry dalam sehari

Semalam aku sakit kepala tahap migraine punya.

Tak tau le real migraine tuh camne, but as far as I know, it is intense headache and disabling as well. Mine yesterday was quite intense but not as disabling in the sense that I can't work. I can still work albeit my eyes can’t really look into computer monitor. The headache, Ya rabbi, it was something I haven’t had for quite a long time. The last time I had it was last year. Yesterday’s headache was probably related to my looking into monitor for a very long time, hence the sakit mata followed by sakit kepala.

Other than looking into monitor for a prolonged time, there is another reason as to why I always get headache; my spec need to be replaced. dulu lagi teruk, sampai muntah2 dia punya symptom. semalam okay je nothing to tell. Other than got to lie down and sleep for an hour.

Soo…I think maybe it’s time to look around.

Hmm…nak cari yang macamana haa…

Nak yang retro ke? Futuristic ke?

Sporty ? hhmm…

Once I read an article about choosing the right spec for certain type of face. My face can considerably be said as a little bit round ( just a little bit tau! ). Tapi lupa plak apa corresponding spec punya bentuk.

Any advise?

Honjya.

withdrawal syndrome

2005-05-24T18:44:00.000+08:00

By definition: panjang sangat so sesapa yang berminat nak tau lebih lanjut sila gi sini:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal

But the simplest explanation that I can come up with is the symptom and behavioural changes that follows when addictive behaviour or addictive drug etc. consumption is stopped. Once the addictive stuff is stopped, withdrawal syndrome will kick in mostly in the form of anxiety and/or craving.

I think I experienced heavy withdrawal syndrome last week.

So pray tell me what’s the addictive behaviour or drug?

Err….reading other people’s blog….

hehehe

Last week, my company’s internet connection went kaput and there goes too my every one hour amusement. Heck sometimes I even read blog for full one hour. Hampeh betul! Keja ke mana, dateline ke mana.

so I experienced anxiety lah,

-Apa la cerita terbaru langsat, doc-wan, hana, Tipah, mak andeh, kak atenah, joeperantau, mat jan dll.- was what I thinking for the whole week.

- aku tak update lagi kat blog nih, ada orang nak baca tak dapat, kesian….-was my regret.

The craving to double-click firefox’s icon and just clicking my favourite blogs was too much to contain, I had to look for other way to alleviate those anxiety and craving.

Work was the answer….

Pathetic, saiaku.

Muwahahahaha

Okaylah, banyak gak kerja yang aku dapat buat minggu lepas.

Well that tells me, I am too addicted to blog for my own good.
Now I still read blogs but the rate has dropped down considerably.

Being busy with European order was another factor not allowing me to blog-hopping a much as I want. European order is relatively new to my company what with all the CE marking requirements. Well, that’s globalization.

maybe doc wan can tell us more about withdrawal syndrome?

Next entry. Globalization…I think.

Honjya.

Muwahahahha ( gelak besar2)

Muwahahahaha (gelak besar2)

My e-mail to my lecturer.

Assalamualaikum,

First of all I want to thank you and Dr. Hishamuddin for teaching me

and my fellow friends last semester.

I am wondering if you could tell me whether I passed or failed

Instrumentation, Measurement and Control subject.

Thank you in advance

Wassalamualaikum

Zakzak (nama dah diubah)

Frankly speaking, I though I failed that compulsory subject. I did try my best at the final exam (which I think helped a lot), but the assignment and the test was not very good…hence my own self-prophecy.

His reply.

Waalaikumussalam

You obtain a 'B' grade for MMJ1223.

Wassalam.

Dr Musa

Yahooo!!!!!! Aku lulus muwahahaha, B pulak tuh!!!! Double muwahahaha

Yabedabedoooooo,

Yatta zeehhhh, yeahaaa…

Hahahahaha.

Damn happy when I read that e-mail.

Tak sangka lulus, B pulak tuh?

Eh? Dah tulis dah? Ahhh! Dulik, aku punya blog.

Anyway,

Alhamdulillahirabbil ‘alamin. :)

I could have done better had I really concentrate on the subject, which I failed to do so due to my work at office. I am taking partime course of master by coursework, and the burden is sometime quite too much for me…

Nasib baik tak kahwin lagi, kalu tak…susah!

Apapun, aku tahu dah yang aku boleh ikut pengajian peringkat sarjana nih.

Zakzak boleh! Hehehe.

Definitely for next semester, I have to balance my work and my studies. From my past experience, I know how to do it, and hopefully next semester is better than last one.

But man…I’m freaking happy right now.

Even if I failed the other elective subject, Structural Dynamics ( mintak2 lulus gak) I will still be happy.

Hope you guys be happy too okay?

Honjya.

specky specko speckaa

2005-04-29T08:48:00.000+08:00

Dah siap2 nak pergi dah,
Dah siap pakai bedak, perfume etc. lah.
Tinggal nak pakai spec ja.

Mana aku letak?

Huh?
Atas katil?

Gembur sampai tak rupa katil dah,
Tak jumpa gak…

Bawah katil?
Habis dah habuk2 bawah tuh aku tepis,
Tak jumpa gak…

Dalam tandas?
Tapi aku bangun pagi tak pakai spec gi tandas…
Takpe cari gak…
Tak jumpa gak…

This is becoming a freaking situation!!! Arghhhhh.

Okay, malam tadi aku gi minum air kosong,
Kat sinki?
Tapi…arghhh gi tengok dulu.
Tak jumpa gak….

Clock is ticking fast to 8 o`clock.

Kat mana lagi?
Dalam gobok baju?
Mana aku simpan spec dalam tuh.?
Takpe who knows I make exception just last night？

Tak de jugak. chait!!!!pagal ding dong

I need some contingency plan…
Arrghhhh..

Think zakzak think!
Think worst case scenario….
Me without my spec for the whole day…

最悪！！！

Eh jap?
I think I have my previous spec somewhere in my desk.
But still, I have to go to office without my spec.
i`ll be rabun motorcyclist.
Terpaksa le aku ambik risiko…

And true, I have my old rusty spec tusked down at one cabinet.

Alhamdulillah.

But still thinking the worst case scenario
I need to buy new spec.
Now, the main concern is the style of spec…
Hmmm this could be interesting.

Nerd look or macho?

Professional or just plain sporty?

Traditionalist or futurist?

Hmmm…

hehehe
Well, let that decision making rest for a while.

Tapi balik2 dah terjumpa spec nya, it was under the rak gantung baju!!!muwahahaha.
Rupa2nya aku terletak kat rak gantung baju, and then biar je kat situ.
Pagi2 tak boleh nak jumpa pasal aku dah gelabah nak cepat ke ofis.

Haaa…….

For the time being, me with a sporty looking spec is on hold…

till the story continuess...

Honjya.

Tsuyoi 強い　kuat strong

2005-04-19T10:45:00.000+08:00

I thought I was strong.

Well, emotionally that is.
physically hampeh, i am soo not fit.
I wished we got aikido doujou around at johor.

But even though I did not shed any tears, I can’t look without my eyes beginning to cry…

Man is frail. His heart is no better.

人は脆い、その心はもっと脆い。

Manusia itu lemah, hatinya lebih lemah.

Tapi wajah arwah atuk nampak bersih, nampak tenang malahan mungkin aku berkhayal cuma tapi aku nampak wajah arwah atuk senyum ketika dibawa pulang dari hospital.

I can’t see his face without me not shedding any tears.

I can’t stand looking at his face without my heart grieves.

Tapi aku yakin insyaallah arwah atuk akan dicucuri rahmatnya.

Dan benarlah firman allah s.w.t

Mati itu sebaik baik pengajaran.

How very true.

Alfatihah

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

2005-04-14T15:33:00.000+08:00

apsal apple plak?
oohhh omputih yang buat phrase kat atas tuh, pasal tu la apple 'ek?
kalau BM plak camne?
sebiji pisang sehari keeps the doctor away? hehehe :P

Anyway,as a tribute to Doc-wan, today I want to blog a little about this prevention is better than cure stuff.

You see, last week I had my motorbike serviced. At first I intend to do just the minor thing, you know, change of motor-oil (I choose synthetic one), engine filter ( original from Modenas), realignment of chain ( can’t do this by myself ).
It should be just that, but the thing is, those mechanics always look for other parts that can be replaced ( increased profit ). So the taipan pointed out to me, that I need to change rear tire. Coz it’s already botak. Tak tukar nanti I can’t stop in time when some stupid car brakes because some other stupid driver brake all of a sudden.
Urghhh….so I agreed to change the rear tire to a new one which cost me RM150! ( mahal lagi dari tayar kereta).

Ingatkan semua dah settle, but nooo…no babeh,
Now the very attentive mechanics points out that my front tire need to be exchanged pulak! What?! Why?
* Him : you see this bulging and uneven part of your tire, now it’s okay to use this on road, but when the time comes, this tire will just exploded ( I think he’s exaggerating here…)

* Me : really ahh???that bad?

* Him : you can always change the tire when you got the money….but it’s just RM50maa…

* Me : yelah yelah, tukar yang baru. My life is worth more than RM50.

So there, the gist of it. My life is worth more than RM50 (metaphorically of course) . I don’t really know how much worth is my life but, definitely I don’t want to be in an accident just because I want to save RM50.
Duit insyaallah boleh cari tapi nyawa? Cuma satu je yang Allah s.w.t bagi pinjam.

Total cost of my motorcycle maintenance that day :RM300.

saiaku...

Tapi memang berbaloi, the feel of the ride, the handling , response semua memang bagus bangat. Kalau diumpakan sebagai isteri.....bergetah lagi motor aku muwahahaha.

saikou!

Perasan tak yang kadang2 kita boleh nampak ada motorsikal yang lampu merah belakangnya tak berfungsi? Nak tau harga tukar mentol tu? Less than RM5!
Kalau kena langgar just because the other party didn’t see his/her motorcycle at night due to non-functioning rear lamp? Kalau mati, well, his life is just worth RM5.
Murah tuh weh!

Betul mati tuh kat mana2 pun boleh, even ada mentol belakang tu pun boleh kena langgar by some stupid idiot road user. Tapi definitely tak boh lampu tuh meninggikan lagi risiko dilanggar dari belakang. Aku tak tau orang lain, aku memang tak nak kena langgar just because of that.

So there you go, maintenance of your vehicles is very2 important. Jangan dok perlekehkan maintenance nih, pasal your own life and the one that you love depends greatly on that.

Speaking from my work environment plak,even kat mana2 kilang pun, even though maintenance department is not a really an important department, but the whole factory could be affected if there’s machine that broke down due to neglect of machine maintenance.

Tu baru hardware maintenance, i.e. machine maintenance belum lagi human factor maintenance...
speaking of which, do we overhaul our heart once in a while?...heart maintenance pun penting gak.

Prevention is really better than cure.

But then aaa, if that apple deprives me of my sweet doc-wan, nahh…I won’t be eating any apple anymore hehehehe :p

just joking nohh..doc-wan :)

why the name part 2

2005-04-10T00:01:00.000+08:00

well i'm back.
i'll try to update this blog at least once a week.

okay as per last post's promise, i'll be explaining
what does 'jinse amakunai' means.

jinsei 人生: life, kehidupan
amakunai 甘くない: literally speaking= tak manis, not sweet

as you can see, amakunai is actually the negative form of amai.

original word = amai 甘い
negative form = amakunai 甘くない

in japanese, basically you just add -nai or -dewa arimasen to signify negative form.
but it is not as simple as that, there are rules regarding nouns, adjective, verb etc.
lenkali le aku bagitau.
anyway, jinsei amakunai lebih kurang macam emmm..
kehidupan yang sukar, yang pahit etc.

the thing is i don't really think my life is that amakunai.
tak jugak amai...tapi certainly not like joeperantau
man...his life is really amakunai right now.
but his getting by.
all the best to him :)

i think life is about making yourself better by the day.
sebagaimana sabda nabi muhammad s.a.w
(aku tak ingat the whole hadis but basically)
kalau hari ini tak lebih bagus dari hari semalam, sesungguhnya kita ini rugi.
nanti aku cari exact hadis.

anyway, there's this one phrase that i think is good to be shared.

勉強になりました
benkyou ni narimashita

translation: this has been a lesson to me.

mungkin dlm BM kita ada phrase nih, even in English it could be traslated as per above.But what makes this phrase is different is how the Japanese makes it almost everyday saying. Meaning that in whatever they do, if they learnt something, they'll accept that knowledge and saying above phrase. This is their stance towards knowledge. They love knowledge. and that also shows their humbleness towards knowledge and to the person teaching them the knowledge.

i like that phrase.
one of the phrase i often used.

saikou :)

okaylah till next post.

honjya

why the name?

2005-03-19T13:22:00.000+08:00

dah lama dah tak blog,
i found out that i am not that keen on blogging.
reading other blogger's blog is my newfound hobby.
but joining the wagon?
emm....not really my forte'
tapi tak bermaksud tak nak tulis apa2 langsung.
so today i'm gonna blog about my blog url

http://saikousaiaku.blogspot.com

well, that saikousaiaku are coined from two of my favourite words in japanese

saikou and saiaku

eja dia,
saikou ,macam tu lah,
saiaku = saiyaku

dalam japanese charachter plak
saikou = 最高
saiaku　＝　最悪

you might notice that first charachter is same for both words.
yes, that's sai = the most, yang paling,
and then the 高=tinggi,excellent,best etc.
悪=buruk, jahat,worst,etc.

so saikou = yang paling bagus, hebat, awesome etc.
biasanya aku cakap kalau dpat result bagus ke,something good happened to me ke.
saiaku plak = paling brengsek, worst gila, i srewed up etc.
kiran2nya aku banyak cakap saiaku sejak akhir2 nih...
beban kerja + beban master terasa di pundak batu jemala ku.

well that's all for now.
caution readers (kalau ada) aku akan guna 3 bahasa dalam blog nih.
bahasa malaysia, bahasa inggeris dan bahasa jepun.
tak termasuk bahasa mencarut.
kalau rajin bahasa arab dll.

next, meaning of jinsei amakunai.
japanese = 人生甘くない

honjya.

2005-02-18T18:51:00.000+08:00

alhamdulillah i'm still alive and hopefully living my life.

just a quickie.

i know i've been neglecting my blog,
i'm not really sure whether this blogging will be
some kind of addiction to me,
but at this moment,
no
nadda,
not really attached to this blog thing.

will blog again later,
where i'll set this blog's direction,
what i will write about.
what i will not write about

will write mostly about:
- other people's blog
- book i read
- and maybe something about japan.
- martial art
-religion

will not write about
- daily stuff ( it's already boring enough)
- lovey dovey stuff ( nothing to write about)
- anything that i hate (let's just leave that to my darker mind okay? :) )

tsunami

2004-12-30T19:28:00.000+08:00

things about tsunami 津波

1) it's a calamity caused by erupting earthquakes under the sea. for further detail. please type tsunami and google it okay?
2) i've never had any experience with tsunami when i was in japan. it was always 'どこどこにｘｘRの地震がxx時に発生しました。津波の恐れがありいません。but then, when i'm back at malaysia, i had it within my lifetime.
3) the closest thing would be song by SOUTHER ALL STARS　titled 'TSUNAMI' . nice song although i don't know why they choosed tsunami as the title....?

speaking about japan, there has been countless of research about earthquake and related natural phenomenan such as tsunami etc. not suprising as they always have this earthquake etc.
scientific research has shown that prior to the coming earthquake there are few tell-tale signs,demonstrated by animals! such as cats running away from something, birds flying without any direction ( boleh tau ke?) fish acting weirdly,
there are of course other signs as well, but i can't quite remember it. mind you, all these i know from documentaries by japanese tv meant for edutainment. quite effective i should add.
anyway, i've read that there are some cases where the fish was acting weirdly a few days before the tsunami happened and that my friends is one of the proof.
sad thing, malaysians doesn't know this.
i mean, how could they? tsunami wrecking damage to malaysia is the first history in the world.

alfatihah untuk mereka yang meninggal dunia kerana dilanda oleh tsunami.
i'm advocating myself and others to give something to the victims, money, food, clothes, and of course do'a.

this is the malaysian mercy's maybank account
562179504126.
Please make sure there's something like fund for tsunami or something.
can't remember what.

honjya.

p/s: no comment so far. heheheh good thing.
p/s/s: read 'THE DA VINCI CODE' . Comment and review to be posted later.
p/s/s/s: the book is awesome. can't put it down once you hold it.

out of the hole

2004-12-25T15:23:00.000+08:00

I am still in the testing mode right now.
emm...arial seems okay.
courier....amari yokunai
georgia....boleh kot?
lucida plak, macam times rasanya.
trebuchet....wide font i think.
verdana ...not to impressive.
webdings.....cam times dan lucida...

tak kisahle memana, yang penting boleh tulis.
i think i'll use different font at different article.
better to convey what i want at different times.

okaylah,
skang nih dah habis amtek hungary,
maknanya dah habis apa menghantui fiikiran aku untuk
beberapa minggu lepas nih.
kira okay gak le workload skang,
but still i've a lot of stuff to do.

skang ni muhasabah untuk amtek hungary.
日本人はこのようなことを反省すると言います。
何かをやった後に反省会をひらいて、どこが悪いかを
皆で相談して、又は討論して､今度のプロジェクトに
どうやって、同じ間違い、過ちをしないように会を開く。
below are several stuffs that i think i should have done better.
1) interlock door design is okay in principle, but i should have
make the assy drawing to see the assembled drawing much better.
2) if i got more time, i should consult peter on the necessity of several
design, such as can we make sliding mechanicsm instead of door mechanism?
3) again, i should have make assembly drawing.
4) once i make changes in one of the parts, i should have think also about the
effect of those change(s) to other parts.
5) i should be more assertive to wak-san. i know he doesn't really trust me,
but still i got to be more assertive during brainstorming.
6) i got to thank nazim for his resources :)
7) never use aluminium hinge for heavy duty mechanism. they are not up to the stress.
8) two roller is better than one.
9) below roller is not to good. it could have been, but if i have a better simulation during its
working route....
10) that brings us to my next muhasabah point - kena beli inventor 9. for next year.
11) emm....i need somebody to discuss my idea. to shoot my idea down if it's not good enough.

banyak lagi kot, tapi yang penting lepas nih nak kena fikir cara terbaik buat design tuh.
dengar2 ada lagi order dari europe. so i got to be more inventive.

okaylah. that's all about work. still got a lot of things to do.

other things.
- finished reading latest installement of barthemius trilogy: the golem's eye.
quite good, the charachter is growing and i still like barthemius wit and cold jokes hahahaha.
i think for the next installment, john@nathaniel will be more pressed about his current position as
the youngest ever minister in british empire's history. there will be more confrontation between nathaniel
and kitty i guess. other than that would be the mystery man who's the real conspirator of all the
chaos etc. i think mr. hopkins the real culprit and i really think that mr. hopkin= mr makepeace = the mastermind. guess i have to wait for the next installment. i miss barthemius. :p

- been busy with my master program. tak taulah, tapi rasa macam susah nak kejar. dengan kerja lagi.
ni aku main update je nih. mana nak studynya?最悪じゃねぇか？勉強しろよお前！

- bonus ....heheheheh now's that a real boost! got above average which i think is okay.
tapi aku mesti lebih progressive dan berdaya saing untuk tahun depan.
i got to be more assertive and resourceful.
got to use both of my assistants to their limit and potential.

- might be sent to japan next year's summer. panas tuh kat sana time musim panas. mintak2 tak bertembung dengan kelas master.

okaylah, that's about it.
