Assalamualaikum

It's been a week since I've been using Nokia N95 as my primary companion replacing my previous Nokia N70. Not that I'm not happy with N70, but ever since my Mama started complaining about her hand phone having some problems, I have been searching for a device worthy of substituting my old N70 so that I can give it to her as a replacement. After giving it some thoughts, I've decided Nokia N95 fits my needs for bombastic gadget perfectly. Hiks.

Like the advertisements on TV said, Nokia N95 is what computers have become. That quote really tempt me to own this phone. As far as my Mama knows this is most probably the phone that will last with me for a couple of years from now. But who knows? Hahaha (Laughing twistedly).

Next week marks the beginning of the Finals of Semester 1 of 07/08 session. The last five days has really tested my patience with my students, especially those who came in late for a major discussion. I was disappointed to be asked such simple question from the students and even my colleagues said that it was their first time seeing me outburst. And when I raise my voice a little bit, that means I am very mad. People never see me scold student for asking question. That was it for me. I had to let it out.

And I'm so glad the study week is over. All I can say now for those matriculation students out there all around Malaysia....all the best and may you succeed in anything that you venture. Amin

Assalamualaikum

Dear blog,

I watched this damn good movie yesterday entitled Little Black Book, and I have gained a lot from it. The story was about how a young girl felt betrayed by someone she truly love and trust. Try as she could, she realized that she could not control everything that has happened. But after some provocation, she finally opened her eyes and discovered that she is too good for him. After that, all well ends well.

dangerous book?

I’d gain an important lesson from watching this movie. We always tried to take things positively until eventually we realized that it all just a bunch of lies...and sometimes we refuse to accept the truth that you aint gonna get what you expected. And sometimes it is best to just go with the flow and let life lead wherever it may. And I truly understand it now.

There are several times that the event taken place raises some kind of reasonable doubt over someone. And that the person is holding back because they actually aren't happy with you. You hate to admit it but like it or not one day you are going to face it. The day that you experience the terrible feeling being lied to actually is the beginning of the process of you two growing further apart.

Do you have a black book? If you do I suggest you destroy it and put your feet on the ground and try to think what’s important in your life. Give it a deep thought before you let someone signigficant in your life slip away.

p.s: What I wrote today is just my interpretation of the movie. It has nothing to do with anyone in real life. Any similarities are simply coincidence. But that’s what life is.

Assalamualaikum,

Haven't got time to write yesterday as I was to busy with workloads. Yesterday as promised, all the PPSMI lecturers are required to sit for English diagnostic test.

The paper consist of three parts. Quite frankly I think it was a little bit difficult because the text given to us was more on biology subject. So I guess the biology lecturers shouldn't have any difficulty in elaborating the facts in the text. For me it was more like double...erm no triple reading before I could understand what it actually means.

But alhamdulillah I was able to finish in time and I believed that I did quite well fro a person who haven't sat for any important examination for a long long time. Hiks. Maybe next year I will be seating for my PTK papers and I am very determined to try and pass on the first attempt which not many government servants have done.

Anyway today is my first day of six day sunat fasting in Syawal. It is also my first attempt ever in my whole life. Hopefully by performing sunat fasting I would become a better person in the future. Insya-Allah. Until then take care now bye bye then

Assalamualaikum

I'm so excited about this that I can't wait until tomorrow to write about it. It's not like everyday that I write two entries in one day.

Upon exploring the internet browsing for new Nokia model that would suit my needs, I encountered a widget or software for my Nokia N70 that is so remarkable considering that it is FREE OF CHARGE!

I've got this information from browsing through several international websites of Nokia. At first I was thinking of getting myself a N95 because of its capability of GPS. Turns out that my existing N70 can use GPS also. That's interesting. Reading the web even further I found out that the service is FREE. All I needed to do was download the Nokia symbian software and install it on my N70, install the map loader on my laptop and of course, an internet connection...voila, my N70 is now a GPS enabled gadget. I'm so thrilled.

I've downloaded the map of Asia from the website that Nokia provided and uploaded it into my N70 memory card. The most exciting thing is...I can even browse on my own home area...in DETAIL. I can also plan route all around Kuala Lumpur and it even has a database of place to visit all around Malaysia. In the picture here is a simulation of suggested route from my house to Alpha Angle, my favourite hanging out place.


If you are a Nokia N-series user and you enjoy having GPS in it, click HERE to begin and follow the instructions. Enjoy. Take care now bye bye then.

Assalamualaikum,

Today is the 5th day of eid and I'm done with visiting people. Hiks. Today my Mama is expecting friends over and she is getting ready with her special gravy noodle. I can't entirely call it curry noodle or anything. It's just her gravy is much more tomato like thingy. Huh. I can't explain more. All I know that it is delicious. :P

I've also managed to finish what I've started few weeks back; playing Tomb Raider: Anniversary on my PS2. It's was remarkable. I can't believe it has been 10 years since the first Tomb Raider game came into my life...series after series created by Eidos and it never fail to amaze me with the gameplay. Lara Croft did light up my life...if you know what I mean.

I've also simultaneously solved 9 books of Kakuro at the holiday's expense. I'm not bored but I'm running out of Kakuro puzzle to solve. Hiks. Doing it just to keep my brain working during the holiday.

Yesterday I've watch the conversation out Prime Minister had with the first Malaysian astronaut, Sheikh Muszaphar. He was having his time at the ISS. During the conversation, suddenly he decided to recite the Rukun Negara in front of national telecast. Unfortunately, if anyone else out there besides me realized, he made one unforgiven mistake when reciting one of the rukun...he said "keluruhan perlembagaan" when what he supposed to say was "keluhuran perlembagaan". Keluruhan Perlembagaan means falling-out of the constitution while keluhuran perlembagaan means sublimity or glorious of the constitution. So the two word mean exactly the opposite. Hiks. Maybe zero gravity has gotten into his head.

And from the looks of Pak Lah's face, he also spotted Sheikh's mistake but decided not to correct him cause it might embarrass him. Huhuhu...tell you what happens if the constitution were to fall-out.

p.s: Right now I'm in dilemma of getting something for myself. Hopefully everything will be resolved the next few days.

Assalamualaikum,

It has been a serene Eid morning. Preparations for morning feast with the whole family was in order. As usual, Abah would recite the doa selamat before feasting. The menu is something that I would die for...Mama's specialty, Palas Leaf Ketupat a.k.a Triangle Ketupat and beef rendang. It is the course that I have been craving every
raya.

After eating, our family continue the tradition of 'beraya' where the young ask forgiveness from those who are older. Tears were shed as this is the first time we had Eid without our beloved Nek.

Like any other raya before, it is out family's norm to perform Solat Sunat at mosque. This year we chose Wilayah Mosque. But this time it was it little bit different than before. This time it was like attending Solat Sunat at foreign country. I can barely see local resident but I saw mostly Bangladeshi , Indonesian and Myanmar people filling in the mosque. Funnily Mat Rempit did attend but just to fill the gap at the mosque's parking lot. So ironic!

Back from prayers, it was another round of Mama's delicious ketupat while watching Eid Special TV show. Like any other year, it was the dynamic duo Rosyam Noor and Fauziah Nawi's acting that won my vote for today's touching telemovie.

Then a visit from my baby sitter's daughter, Kak Hanim gave my family a visit with her husband and her 4 children. Then all the story about what I did when I was in diapers came out. We forgot to fill in the cookie jars with cookies before visitor came so I did it while sampling some of it. Hiks.

*Tomorrow maybe we're going to give my Abah's side of the family a visit a Sijangkang, Klang.

Assalamualaikum

Spending time at home certainly have more benefit. For example I get to download my favorite TV Series Smallville that now has entered its seventh season. Photo above was whats left of Smallville series during the finale episode of season six. No...that is not Clark, that is Bizarro, Clark's exact copy that sampled Clark's DNA and replicated him.

In America, two episode now have passed, Episode 1 - Bizarro and Episode 2 - Kara. I've already watched the first one and in a process of downloading the second one.

It was interesting start to the season, as Lana was killed in a freak bomb accident. Chloe is declared dead, while Lex was saved from inevitable death by a mysterious beautiful character played by Laura Vandervoort who seems to have exact power as Clark's...hmmm. Don't wanna spoil you guys watching Smallville so I'm gonna let you watch what happens next.

Assalamualaikum,

Alhamdulillah I've made it home safely to celebrate Eid at home back in KL. I managed to snap a photo of my car's odometer during my trip home. As you can see, I am such an obedient driver. Hiks. I responded to the nation's aspiration to reduce the number of accidents during festive season by abiding the highways speed limit. (Otherwise you might see my meter hitting that 150km/h mark...just kidding)

To all Malaysian celebrating Eid this coming few days and traveling by motorized vehicles, I wish you all a safe journey back and forth. Drive carefully and remember your loved ones.

Assalamualaikum,

Mungkin harini hari terakhir aku tulis blog dari opis...esok tak sempat kot. Baik tulis siap2. Erm, dikesempatan ini ingin aku memohon maap pada sesiapa yang mengenali aku kot2 kalau gurau senda aku tuh menyinggung perasaan.

Raya kalini aku kurang sket nak sambut grand2. Al-maklumler...raya pertama tanpa Nek datang umah. Kalau tak mesti tiap2 tahun datang. Aku sempat bagi duit raya dua kali je sejak aku kerja.

Tahun nih baju raya selai pon belom beli. Entahle...kenapa tah. Mama dah sound suruh beli tapi aku takde hati nak beli le. Mesti kalau dipaksa beli gak mesti tak cantik dan aku takkan pake lama. Huhuhu.

Anyhow...semalam menerima panggilan dari Ketua Sektor Bahagian Peperiksaan...terkezut aku. Kena marking paper cuti nanti...aduh. Terpendek lagi le cuti aku. Baru ingat nak cuti lama sebab cuti lepas kena gi Kedah untuk sukan...Waaaaa!!!!! Cian aku....

Relaku menunggumu seribu tahun lama lagi
Tapi benarkah hidup aku akan selama ini
Biar berputar ke arah selatan ku tak putus harapan
Sedia setia

Relaku mengejarmu seribu batu jauh lagi
Tapi benarkah kaki ku-kan tahan sepanjang jalan ini
Biar membisu burung bersiulan terlelah gelombang lautan
Ku masih setia

Adakah engkau tahu… ini cinta
Adakah engkau pasti… ini untuk selama-lamanya

Relaku menunggumu seribu tahun lama lagi
Tapi benarkah hidup aku akan selama ini… yeah…
Biar berputar utara selatan ku tak putus harapan
Sedia setia

Jangan putus harapan… sedia setia……

Assalamualaikum

This is the last Saturday I have to attend before the Eid holiday. Today we are replacing Friday's timetable. Only one class and we can leave the office by noon. Then I'm gonna do some shopping while I still can. I am still yet to prepare anything for this raya.

Other than that, I'm gonna share with you about someone I know here. This moron, did something wrong and won't admit his mistake. When asked by superior, he keep on avoiding the fact that he was the one responsible for it and keep on diverting the blame to someone else.

For me, who actually knows what happened did not have the heart to report this to my superior because I think he should have a gut to admit his mistake and take a responsibility cleaning his own mess. What kind of person who throws a stone and hide his hand? Chicken shit!!!

Yesterday, I was appointed as a replacement to become invigilator this coming final exam. Although my name was not on the list at the beginning, I was also reluctant to accept this substitution because I was intending to take a break after teaching lecture class for the whole semester. Feel kinda burn out though.

However I was too late to inform the person in charge resulting the appointment letter already been passed down to the Director. With this procedure already taken place, I have no choice but to accept. I went to see the person in charge, Kak Pinat (Shafinaz) and requested that she could post me at a more comfortable exam center like the banquet hall or the library where they have air conditioning. Hiks. Guess, it is not that bad after all. BTW I'm gonna get paid for the 4 day invigilating. Hehe.

Enough for now, I'm gonna do my work now. Can't wait to go back this afternoon.

p.s: Guess what Smallville season 7 and Bionic Woman is out in US market...can't wait to go back and download these latest series...

Assalamualaikum,

Today is my beloved Abah 60th birthday. Already wished him this morning. Love him so much.

Alhamdulillah at 60 year old, he is still at good shape. I could count the numbers he had sick leaves during his working days. And now he is still healthy, free from illness that older people normally suffer like highblood, diabetes and heart problem. I guess living like he did as an easy going person prevented him from having those kind of illness. Although he always complaint of stomach ache...but I mainly believe it is because he fondness of eating a lot of banana. Hiks.

Anyway, I don't know what I will become if it wasn't for him. And for that I dedicate this entry of honouring him as the greatest Abah in the world.

p.s: How come there is so little song about dad?

Assalamualaikum...

Syukur to Allah for giving me the strength to finish what I've started this semester. Yesterday I finished the mathematics syllabus for this semester. There will be extra one week of lecture and I intend to do some revision.

I've accepted the offer to teach lecture classes for the whole semester earlier this semester to challenge myself in mastering the content of matriculation mathematics...and I succeeded. Only two of the math staff got the change to do this each semester, and the rest were given teaching partners and teach lecture alternately. When I was offered the opportunity, it didn't take long for me to say yes.

I agree that it was a big decision to make as I am still new and fresh from the oven. Lack of experience was the main setback that I had to overtake. But this also drove me a bit more harder than before to equip myself every time I enter the lecture hall.

I'm not sure when I will be able to teach lecture the whole semester again. The roster will be rotate to ensure that everyone gets equal burden. Huhuhu.

Here is something to share...from Mika's Life In Cartoon Motion album, this light and easy tune, Relax Take It Easy. I'm gonna relax after this...Hiks.
