Afdlin Shauki..dubbed as the new 'P. Ramlee'..is he?..well..In my opinion, he's very talented..he can sing, he can right songs, can direct movies (good movies..damn funny too..and he also injects some critism in his movie especially for the malays..) and can act as well..so whats the difference between him and P. Ramlee?..well if his movies or maybe songs can last long..get airplay in radio or movies shown on the tele week in..week out..then he is the next p. ramlee..

waiting for his next movie called sumo-lah..

this is a funny clip of him with Din beramboi in one of the A-ha series in tv3..

p/s:jgn tulis bukan2 kat blog tau....especially yg ada politik ke ape..sbb anda mungkin diperhatikan..jgn biarkan hidup anda diselubungi misteri..eh ape kene ni?..eh ni kat p/s je apsal panjang2?..takleh ke panjang..sape kate takleh panjang? dah dah..

I'm an avid fan of sci fi movies...but err..when will Malaysia (or maybe malays)..produce our own sci fi?...there have been some malay sci fi movies tho..but..its was just a so-so effort..remember xxray and xxray 2?..

A new malay sci-fi movie comin up will be the cicak man ( no trailer yet :( ... )directed by Yusri of KRU...still dunno when will it come out..it will be our own superhero..which is played saiful apek..but wait..look no further, our neighborng country thailand is also producing their own superhero called 'mercury man'..a man that got his superpowe from some holy object..

Korean is also comin out with a blockbuster sci fi movie called the the host ..the story is about a mutated monster comin out from a river in Korea, attacking people in the city..what interest me alot is that, the korean employ, not 1, not 2 but 3 company to do the sfx..2 hollywd company and 1 is from australia...it shows how serious the koreans are in conquering the movie market worlwide.

i havent start talkin about japanese sci fi yet...hmmm...hope that cicakman wont dissapoint..and hoping more malaysian sci fi..i mean quality sci fi movie will be produced..

Sept 11 tragedy has such a major impact in the world history..It also has changed the course on the worlds' political situation...

Recalling the incident, and where I was at that time..I was eating with my friend at padang after watching SEA Games football match between Malaysia and Vietnam. I was shocked when I saw the news at the stall's tele, showing aeroplanes crashing to the WTC...I thot that this might just another special effects from a Hollywood movie..

Nearly 5 years after the incident...and throughout this 5 years time, there is a campaign to reinvestigate the tragedy...As we can see..starting from Sept 11, the States started to be a warmonger..esp with the Muslim countries all over the World...especially the West asian countries..

The campaign is trying to convince the people around the world, that the Sept 11 attack was planned...none other by the States themselves..Actually, I started to questioned on how did the building collapsed, on the 12th morning when almost every channel is showing the news on WTC...My question was how did the building collapsed when the planes crashed in the middle of the building...I knew that it seems like the metal on top of the bulding(ape kebende besi kat puncak bangunan tu)might push the building collapsed all the way down..even so..why is it collapsed straight down..just like the a demolished bulding i should say, I'm no architectural person..but still it seems that that doesnt make sense..but in the end of the day..world is made to trust that this is all caused by the terrorist..or muslim terrorist perhaps..and 2 countries have been victimised by the States...afghanistan and iraq..and its still goin on until now...

Men Don't Leave, Boys Don't Cry

2006-05-17T14:17:00.000+08:00

This month we've celebrated 2 special days for special people that have big influence in our lives...

So..i know its kinda late..happy mother's day to my mom..and all the moms and moms to be..and happy teacher's day to all the teachers that have taught me from the early days of learning till now...Do you remember the names of your teacher from your kindergarten till your university days..or SPM days?

I remember some of them tho..Sometimes i do met my high school and primary school teachers here in Serdang...havent met those who taught me in kuantan tho..for a long long time.anyway, I hope that all of the 'em are in their best conditions and health..

To my mom..thanx for all the love and kindness that you gave me....The best mother's day song for me is the Boyz II Men's number...'Song for Mama'...sedih gak denga lagu tu..dengarla kawan2..

***************************

Apart from the teachers and mothers day..I've also have to say goodbye to my friend..also the import player of Selangor for Argentina..for the record..he has scored 82 goals for Selangor in all competition since 2004..he has been with Selangor in all ups and downs...He's very down to earth and a humble person. He's very easy going and he even can speak Malay now..a little bit. he's also very funny guy..He once joked me by saying that my face resembles an actor who played a comedy role in Argentine tele, and called me chico after the actor's nickname.

Sadly he will not be with Selangor team anymore as he's contract is terminated immaturely..according to the managemnet he's not performing up to the team's expectation..(not from my point of view and also from the selangor fans tho)

Gracias Senor Brian!

Commonwealth of Nations

2006-03-25T22:01:00.000+08:00

Watching the highlights of commonwealth games in Melbourne at 10 am in morning since last week...had brought me to the past..when I was there..

Melbourne city was once the place I roamed..once i always walking around the city..especially when I got those core dump in my programming. I used to study there, in RMIT..in which its buiding sits nicely..right at the heart of Melbourne city. Whenever I felt tensed in the lab..or stuck in programming..I went to walk around city..had some coffee..and watching peoples there...much2 different than KL...except for seeing Malaysian la heheh..or maybe diorang Indon heehh..

The State library...Bourke St...Flinders St Station and also Fed Square. In this commonwealth games...it brought back the memories when I was there..especially when TV1 showed the event of men's marathon, 20 km walk, and 50 km walk...the backdrops..was the place that I always..or I could say...everyday..I walked by.

The McG..never been there tho hehe...but passed by several times when taking the M-train or on a car. Wished I was there right now..huhu...

Congrats to all the medal winners..yang tak menang..cube lagi..err 4 tahun lagi hehe..

SPM

2006-03-17T17:24:00.000+08:00

SPM..
Popularly known as Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia...or on the tele its for RTM's Selamat Pagi Malaysia..and for kids (or maybe grown ups who always spent time for some games)..we can translate to Syarikat Permainan Malaysia..which produce Saidina, Sahibba...heheh..this paragraph is such an awful intro innit?

Remember the day when our SPM results are announced? For me..it was like do or die situation..Well..it was in 1996 that I sat my SPM...and the results were announced in 1997..I sat my SPM at MRSM Kuantan. Schooled at MRSM Kuantan started from Form 4 until Form 5, students studied there or any MRSM are expected to get results in flying colors.

When the results are announced, I was at home, doing nothing for almost 3 months. Well actually, during the waiting period of 3 months, almost everyday I went to my mom's foodstall at padang and helped her out..wonder why I said almost?..meaning not everyday that I help my mom (sbb ada masa tu aku mmg malas ehhehe....ada masa plak rajin..and my mom run her business everyday except on sundays).

As usual, I did not expect to do very well in my SPM (and it turned out to be..err..not very well also hehe). So, I did not go to Kuantan on the day they gave the results, but I phoned the admin office and...I got my results..on that phone call..

Me: As'kum

Staff: W'salam.

Me: Saya pelajar MRSM kuantan, boleh tk saya dpt kan keputusan SPM saya?

Staff:Boleh...nama sape?err..bole tolong bagi nombor IC skali?

Me: Ooooo..bole bole...nama saya Iskandar ********* and IC nombor *******************
Staff: Oooo..ok..kejap ye

At this moment, my heart was pumping like an F1 engine....it was a nerve-wrecking, heart-wrenching exprience...the waiting gone for about 5 minutes, nevermind for the bill even I made my phone call from serdang to kuantan...and that was the longest, scariest 5 minutes of my life..Imagine...of all the hardwork from darjah 1 up to form 5, 11 years of education...SPM is like the results that showed to you and everyone, what the hell did I do in that 11 years heheh

then..
Staff: awak Iskandar ye? No IC ************************
Me : ye...(I think at this very moment my heartbeat jumped to thousands beat per sec)
Staff: keputusan awak **********************************
Me : o-0..ok ok..ye ke mcm tu result saya?trime kasih

well..for me..I was very satisfied with my results...because I expected it to be much worse than that...I am very pleased....very pleased...

Congrats to all high achievers in SPM 2005...for whom who did not do well, dont feel so bad...your life is still there for you...mana2 ada rezeki..IPTS pon ade heheh..

...this year, it has been 10 years since I sat my SPM..what a coincidence...

A trip to Tebrau City

2006-01-22T17:11:00.000+08:00

This morning,me and my friend Abas, Rodi and Abeb went to new shopping malls in Johor called, Tebrau City shopping mall...the place is huge...yes it has the largest jaya jusco in the south east asia (they claimed laa in the radio)...but..as I've been there...yeaap the place was huge...

It opens in 4th of January this year, which was only 2 weeks...and surprisingly, it took us about 30 minutes just to park our car as people came flocking to this shopping center. I even spotted a number of singaporeans cars( I could tell by their plate number) were in the queue to the parking lot.

We were walking our way to the centre of this place, and there was this huge crowd circuling some sort of a stage..a small stage ...decorated with chinese temple like design..for the chinese new year. Then there was this women standing right in the centre of the stage..and hundreds camera flashes were flickering towards her..yaay..Siti Nurhaliza laaaa!!!...

Patut la ramai gile datang.. I managed to get a glimpse of her and caught a couple of shots(thanx to 6260 camera folding abilities)...but not that clear tho..

Siti sang her last song when I arrived and she left the stages with security guards guarding her way to....err..i dunno la..kluar la kot hehehe..

Other than jaya Jusco, Tebrau city is also a home for other big names...you know...including al-ikhsan sport, nike....heheh..aku tgk jenama sukan je...food; they got manhattan fish market, secret recipe..and they even got flintstones restaurant...hahaah..

Tu je lah nak citer hehehe...

As'kum...Hye guys..gals..who ever reads it(ade ke?)..It has been a long long long time since I last posted...I mean really posted..that one on the 27 Oct 2005 not really tho..just a wish..

How my life has changed thru this 6 months... suffering does make a person maturer..and it does make me realise how small I am in this world..no matter what you have...wealthy...wisdom...and strength(physically and/or mind strength)..we are still way way to small compared to our Creator..besides..we don't have to compare ourselves to the greatness of our Creator...its just imcomparable..if we have one of those 3 things that ive mentioned above..or maybe 2 of those things..or all of 'em...there's always another people who are much much better than us...tak kesah la bende positif ke..negative even..kalau kata ada perompak yg mmg tere..ada lagi yang lagi tere dari die...mcm dalam citer Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, sape tu ckp..err..Qui Gon Jin..die cakap.."there's always a bigger fish".(alamak...aku ni mcm ada org tu la plak quote-quote bende dlm movie or mini series..hehe)

However...another thing that really taught me is..no matter how down you are..patience is everything..we have to be patience..even if we are in deep deep trouble not because of our own mistake..or maybe partly la..we have to be patience..if there is opportunities to solve it..solve it..don't get emotional easily..but human is human..we have to find some way to channel out our anger or sadness..for me...lot of people didn't know what i had been through for the pass 4-5 months...until I 'announced' it to 'the' person..and the words spreads...people looked down at me..talkin at the back..well..it really pissed me off..but..I just couldn't do anything..mulut org tak bole ditutup...I just kept it to myself..even the person who very close to me didn't know about it for some time..until I told her...or kalau yg tau awal2 tu..mmg tukang korek rahsia heheh..but how did I make it like nothing happen...just keeping mum about it..and smile all the way

Now, I am starting my on a new path...and don't know for sure where I'm heading..but one thing I know is that..life is gettin better now..compared to last year...it was almost a tragedy..but alhamdulillah..He gave me a way...patience..is really a virtue..and by being virtue..u gonna get a reward..but dont do things because of reward..you must be sincere..hehe...mcm tuan guru la plakaku ni..I just want to share with you guys..on what I have gone thru..thats all..

bye...

Hello!!...I'm back..alive and kicking!...hehe...well anyway...I went to cyberjaya this morning with EON to attend talk on Cyber War..Hell its awesome!?..kinda..I'm not very much into this networking thingy actually..and I'm quite surprise that no networking people from the faculty is attending this talk, when in fact they should!..well for me..its just another food for my brain..which still has so much space to be filled...hehe

First speaker was from Pakistan and his name is Zubair Khan...he talked abouat Cyber warfare and all its happenings...he spoke about cyber war fare between Pakistan and India..which they are really not the very best of neighbours..I really mean it..also..cyber warfare between people in middle east and Israel...

Indian hackers managed to choke up Pakistanies internet flow for months...by hacking Pakistanies telcos servers and Pakistanis government websites...hmmm..I was just wandering if this happens between our country and our neighbours...and in fact it did happen when some hackers(or crackers perhaps) hacked into one of the local banks e-commerce website..but that doesnt mean that we are at war with our neighbouring countries...

The second speaker is from Italy and they talk about Industrial spy...err..leboh kurang la..well actually its about hacking for the purpose of gaining information from competitors in business...the most interesting part of their talk was when the speaker explain about US Future Combat System...actually they gain the information not from the people of the US army..but from google..the sub contractors websites and so on..well they are trying to say that 'secret' of the US FCS is not a secret anymore..and their enemy could have prepared on what they are building now..

The third speaker is from France..but worked in Indonesia for the last 10 years..he spoke about War driving(WD)..apa bende tu??..well this WD is about breaching into someones..or organisations or company computer system to gain information for profit purposes...well it focuses on wireless technology that we looked as a convenience way of doing our internet-related task - online banking, online shoppine anywhere at anytime..at any hotspots..but actually..it could be your worst nightmare!!..wireless technology are very much immature and are exposed to threats of hacking...imagine that your username..password..are stole right under your nose without knowing it??? Yes...wireless are not that secured...and the speaker did show how they can gain information of people doing transaction in Kuala Lumpur using wireless connection...hmmm..scary isn' it?...

A very knowledgable talk I should say...at least I know that something is not that secured actually..and careful what your doing when using wireless Internet connection

Quit playin games with my heart...(arrgg..jiwangnye??)

2005-08-09T21:23:00.000+08:00

Today...the faculty's badminton league begin...with me and Lan played in the mens double started our campaign by playing P.H and Mr A. Luckily we won...and with that match..I've discovered our weaknesses. No consistencies...It happen like..say..we led 8 or 7 points up...then we lose our lead..the opponents just cruising just because of our mistakes after mistakes after mistakes..complacencies??..hmmm

After the match..we played again..just for sparring..against Mr H and Mr K. We nearly lost...and again..our complacencies almost got ourselves losing the match. When it happened more than once..more than twice...that would be a serious problem...

Tommorow..I will be playing with miss R..for the mixed doubles..and hope that this complacency wont get into me and my partner...It's not just about winning afterall..it's about satisfaction in playing the games that I loved(err..ni yg kedua sebenarnye..lagi satu bolasepak hehe..adakah aku menduakan bolasepak..tidaaaak)

p/s: mungkin sebab takde yg menyokong tadi???...hmmm

Kerana mulut badan binasa

2005-08-03T14:13:00.000+08:00

Well...the Malay proverb above has been taught to us since our childhood...as well as the meaning. Thats how the Malays give advice so that we won't make other peoples mad, or angry on what we've said about them.Well, it could be any sentence, it could be a question, a joke, or even wrongly constructed sentences of advice could make other people feelin disjointed.

'Kerana mulut...'

In other words, we have to be careful on what we're sayin. But it seems that some people just don't care what other people would feel about what this people are saying. This people may not have feelin at all, or maybe they thot that all the things that they ask/speak/joke about other people is the right things to say, regardless of other people thots and feelin. My advice to this people....u are not living alone in this world. Yess u have your family, your managers, your bosses around you...but don't forget that you also need a group of people called friends.

'..Badan binasa'

...well...if this type of people still do not want to change...behold...you are not going anywhere...no matter how skilled you are...how high your I.Q is...how rich you are..how 'high'(konon!) your status are...if you can't make friends...can't mix around with people around you....you're going down man..down to chinatown. It could be yourself that make you go down...or maybe people around you that hate you so much because u just didnt watch your mouth..and always pisses other people off by your remarks.

I can't predict the future....but...experience taught me well..if you cant watch your mouth...and always pisses other people off with that mouth..people could say things about you...setiap apa yg orang cakap kat kite...kengkadang bole jadi doa...that's all that I can say..ciao

How can we be sure of sumtin...is that the right decision?..is she the one?...is that the right path that we choose?...the only way is...once you've open the door...just walked throu it. Some decision might not give us the chance to go back..but some does give some way to go back. The problem is, the ones that doesnt have one. I always feelin this sure unsure thing even after I've made a decision out of a situation...even if there's no way back...but the feeling and thinkin of that sure unsure will be echoing thru my brain...

And even after I enjoyed every moment of the decision that I've made...I'll keep asking the same question to myself again and again. I just dont know why. I think it will stop me when there are some success that I gain from the decision that I've made. For example...throuout my 1 1/2 years in Melbourne, once a week at least...that question "Betul ke aku buat keputusan amik masters kat sini ni?"..will popped out...that question was never asked by myself after I finished my masters.

Was it healthy?...I dunno...and what ever outcome from that question..I still cannot stop myself from asking that sure unsure thing to myself..its just plain me...

What does it take to have a very good friendship. Every friendship(even the best of friends) must have had its ups and downs. One thing that might cause this is when we didnt respect our friend as it should be. Sometimes respect and getting to be trust from friends do come from the way you talk, the way you handle yourself, that you never cheat your friend, the way you treat your friend, help your friend when in need, and after some time, your friend will know when your are down, when your are happy, when your are fallin in love even without being told by you...and u wont get that in a friendship in just a couple of days.

The longer the friendship, the more you trust your friend and vice versa. That will go on and on until one of you slips up. Especially when one of you :-
1) cheated you
2) back stabbing
3) used you for his/her own good
4) errr...maybe steal you friends lover la kott heheh

anyway...if one(or two..atau maybe smua skali..kira package la hehe) of those things occured between you and your friend, after such a long and happy friendship, then, something bad is happening..and it could gone even worse. The consequences of this might be that, all the trust that is build throughout those friendly years, might be gone. You and your friend might get back as a friend, but the trust that you had before, wont be that strong.

I think, being a friend is a two way kind of relationship(if his or her friend not in comma or sumtin like that lah)...Its not just about us gettin everything from our friend, you know, always wanted to get help from your friend when u are in need, but when your friend does, you didnt do anything..atau rasa berat je nak tolong pon ade..tapi tunjuk la mcm nak tolong. When our friend are down or angry, or sick! we just keep silent and just hoping our friend will be fine just like that. Or maybe when we've done sumtin wrong, we didnt even say sorry to our friend, and keeping that ego inside of us and thinking that we're always right, everything that we do is right..then you are suck in friendship..should have take that pshycological course or maybe pendidikan moral. And please...dont use your friend as a tool, and even if you want it, just tell it straight to your friend...dont use that ugly excuses like your friend had not use his/her brains in years...or just comin back from a mental hospital..or acting like your friend doesnt have any feelin...

This is just my point of view in having friendships...remember..if your friend is showing that straight face(or any kind of unpleasant expression lah)..he or she is in trouble/angry/having problem...and if you ARE a true friend and you know what friendship really means...you will go and ask your friend about what happened actually..but dont force your friends to reveal whats inside her/him...and you are one of his/her best BUDDIES if you can get what actually happens inside your friend, and you will be the BEST of friend that he/she ever had if you give your friend comfort and offer any help...and all of these should goes both way not just u expecting from your friend all the time only.

Or maybe we just want that so-so friendly afterall...rapat ngn kawan bile ada kepentingan je..bile takde...biarkan..sakit ke..sengal ke pedulikkan aje...yg penting bile kite susah..die tolong...omg...if u have this thought in your mind and your always do these thing in your life..please come to my room and let me smash your head with my CPU to make it work more properly and more humanly..OK!!

Alien Workshop

2005-07-06T08:23:00.000+08:00

If we were attacked by aliens, these are few guidelines that could lead to their destruction :-

1) Upload computer viruses into their mother ship computer system

2) They are afraid of water

3) Weaken if they looked at the debris of their doomed planet

4) Use shampoo(tak kire la..tembak ke..masukkan dalam perut die ke)

5) Yodelling..if you dont know what this is..this is actually a kind of song that concentrates in singing with some special voices

6) They can't see you if your are covered by mud

7) Or..just leave to mother nature...then attack with full force

Each of the facts should be used based on where do the aliens come from(or perhaps in which movies that they appeared hahah)....Well, each of the fact are based on different movies...Send all your answer to 32999 and each sms will be charged RM 0.69. Hahahah..kiddin...ok..u just give it a try...teka untuk setiap kelemahan tu dari movie yg mana...

Answer/Jawapan:

1) Independence day (ID4)

2) Signs

3) Superman..superman pon kire alien pe

4) Evolution

5) Mars Attack

6) Predator...alaa..kan arnold susahnakeja tu cover badan die ngan lumpur

7) The last one I just picked up when watching the latest movie of alien invading earth...War of The Worlds.

Yes..I just watched the movie last night and it was...err..actually I got a mixed feelin about this movie. Initially, it was kinda full of suspense..it started by showing a father who rarely meet his son and daughter..they are not that friendly to each other...but all of the sudden..they become very close..because of the alien invasion. The build up of this movie was somewhat excellent. Me my self at some point even thought...what should I do if aliens were coming to invade us. The movie did go into much details, the terror and the survival that human had to face in dealing with this evil and mean aliens.

I must say, that just about it, the climax(or anti-climax) was a let down. I even think that, the movie should be longer, it seems that the fall of all the aliens are too simple..too easy in fact...despite the way they come and they planned their attack on earth(it took millions of years..trust me). Except if you have read H.G Wells' book of the same title(which this movie is based on)..then you'll know the ending..its kinda dissapointing...

In some ways, it did have some similarities with ID4, but WOTW did explore the human feeling alot deeper...but there was no dramatic ending towards it(i think ID4 ending is much more dramatic, as Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum had to put the bomb in the mothership). Well, maybe we just have to wait for this type(human vs alien-who-wants-to-conquer-earth) of movie, and the list of aliens weaknesses will get longer and longer..until the real aliens come to earth and wipe us out hahah

p/s: in the early part of the movie...the narrator(I think its Morgan Freeman's reading lines from the book)...said sumtin like they(the alien) had been observing us for a long time..and studied us..but didn't they learn anything about bacteria..or microorganism..or why human can get fever?Hmmm...being so honest to the book might well cause some problem because the book itself was written in 1898...hmmm..dah lama tu...org dulu bole la nak tipu2

A Night To Remember

2005-07-04T09:11:00.000+08:00

I went to Alor Star for the second time in less than 2 weeks, but this time around was for a totally different reason. Yesterday morning, around 9.00 am I was surprised by my friend, who came to my house with the famous red and yellow jersey, asking me to go to Alor Star to watch the Kedah vs Selangor game.

My friend : "Jom aaa..bas MPSJ tu kosong..jom aa"

Me : "Aku keje la esok..ko gile ke"

My friend : "Alaaa..jom aa..bukannye ko drive pon..lagipon match ni penting woo, sok pagi kol 3-4 pagi balik aaa"

Me : "Malass aaa aku..letih laa...aku baru je balik Alor Star arituu"

My friend : "Jomm aa weii..lagi pon naik bas executive tuuu...best..ko tido je laa..mesti tak letih..."

Me : "Ye lah ye lahh..tapi kalau esok bas menyimpang ke tempat lain siap ko!"

My 20 hour footballing ordeal started there. I rushed myself packing as fast as I could, and then the journey begins. Well actually our journey started at 10.30 am when the bus had also to fetch some MPSJ staffs at the MPSJ HQ.

My friend told me for real about the bus. It is an executive coach. Very stylish inside, with its leather(or PU perhaps) seat and covered the wall as well. It also has the DVD entertainment system with 2 screen, 1 at the front and the other is the LCD monitor for the rear seat passengger. I managed to watch Mr and Mr Smith on the bus which was not a very good movie I think(except for Angelina Jolie hehehe)...its kinda overdone especially those shoot out scene and that car chase scene was not that entertaining either(dah byk sangat tgk action movies...tu pasal la tak heran..nutting special).

We arrived at the Darulaman Stadium in Alor Star at around 5.30 pm after 3 stops en route to Alor Star. The area around the Stadium was already packed with the green and yellow fans buzzin towards the ticket counter. As I was told by the Kedah FM DJ on the bus, tickets were almost sold out at that time.

We entered the stadium at around 8 pm and the Stadium was already packed. Sitting with a group of Selangor fans, we started to sing and chanting slogans for our team, which was not pleasing for most of the Kedah fans.

Selangor won the match 1-0 after a hard fought battle, with only 9 man to play after 2 of their players was shown the red card. It was such a bittersweet victory for Selangor after they lost 1-4 to Kedah at the same venue, in May, and Kedah had never lost a single game in their premier league campaign. After the game, we were kept singing and chanting because we know that with that win, Selangor are just a point away to win the elusive premier league title and qualified for the Super League next year. We were guarded by FRUs and Relas when we were on our way out of the Stadium. On my way to the bus, some Kedah fans shouted some abusive words towards us, yes I know how they feel at that time. I heard that, they came from all the district in Kedah state to watch their team win. I felt sorry for them.

I arrived at Serdang at around 5.45 am this morning, and few hours after that, which is 9.00 am..now..I am writing my blog here, at this very faculty, the next morning I left for Alor Star which is 449 kilometres away...hmmm...football fanatics at its best??...kinda...and for me it was a night to remember

The Simple Life

2005-06-29T14:47:00.000+08:00

People say that...every person livin on this planet had to face their own sets of problems..everytime..everyday or maybe every minute of their lives. Well for me less problem is better(everyone would also think like that wouldn' it??). But..no one like to have problems especially problem in having to decide the path that they should take for their own sake...for their own life. So...what to do??

As a muslim...we are encouraged to perform solat istikharah...which would make us a lot easier in making heavy decisions in our life. Even so...that feeling of anxiety still could clouds our mind and that could make us to change our decision, again and again if time permits. Even when we had already took the decision, and if there is still space and time, we still ponder ourselves whether we made the right decision...The decision that I'll be makin is one of the most difficult decision that I have to make in my life so far. I had already face this 'decision-making' situation before, when I was given the opportunity to study abroad. It came when I was just finished my first degree and at that time, I was very into IT job, making money and braving myself to find jobs in IT companies..but that didnt materialised. At that moment, I got a very proper guidance from my sister and my brother, as well as my parents, to help me make my decision....and the rest is history.

But..this time around..even with the guidance that I have...still..it is still very hard for me to decide. Anyway...hope that I could make the best decision..ciao

It has been 3 weeks since I last felt some chill air out of an air cond in my tutor room. Somebody told me that some people will come and repair the air cond since last week. And last week, I've driven for more than 1000 kms last week...to Ipoh and back..and then to Parit Buntar, Kulim and Alor Star and back...still...when I got back here, they havent repair it. Well...tu lah org panggil dah nasib and kene banyak bersabar...which sumtimes I felt that I dont have that sabar left in me..

Well about the trip..actually for LI visits...it was very tiring..and to some extent..dehydrating. With the warm temperature throughout the trip...sumtimes i felt like the weather had drained all the fluid in my body. Read about global warming..happening in most asian countries...and yes..it was damn hot. My problem with air cond didnt end at my office...even when I was in Alor Star, the air-cond in my hotel room was also not working properly...again..I got the same situation..technician came...told me to switch it on for 15 minutes and he said...he'll come back...but he didnt. Sama je la citer die kat sini ke..aduss..memang air cond kat mesia ni dah tak suke kat aku ke???...nasib baik air-cond kete aku ok...tip top org kampung aku kata.

Ok..to all the air-cond in Malaysia..or in the world maybe..kalau aku ada salah ke ape ke aku mintak maaf ye..hehhe...

Went to Cameron Higlands with my family along with my frens and my dad's friends and thier families for three days...It has been almost 10 years that I went here when I was in form 3. It got alot more hotels and places to stay(apartment, houses for rent I think) than it was 10 years ago..and the road was even wider..but got that dizziness when climbing up the road to Tanah Rata..and even when on our way back..fenin lalat. We stayed at Tanah Rata in a place called Casa De La Rosa. 4 kilometres further up is the Brinchang town. In those 3 days, we went to Boh Tea Plantation field...tea factory...pasar jual sayur2...in which they sell all those mini cactuses, flowers and vegetables..toys jagung manis and many more hehe...hmm..not interested tho.....but for those ibu2 including my mom..it was heaven...balik bole la makan sedap2 heheh...back to the Boh tea plantation...the view of the hills full with green leaves of tea...make it an eyeful sight...perfect for my hunt of beautiful shots for my camera..hehe(tak tau la lawa ke tak gamba2 ni..tapi bagi aku lawa je)...

When I went to the Boh Factory, there I was shown on how they process the tea leaves...up until it become tea powder...but then I js couldnt stand the smell of the tea leaves...mcm nak muntah....

still feelin dizzy..because of the sharp curves and winding road on our way back....anyway..it was a good trip altogether..freshen up my mind...rejuvenate myself after facing alotta problem..(mcm la dah settle)...anyway...cameron highland dah tak sejuk sangat heheh..

Runaway Bride

2005-06-05T22:49:00.000+08:00

Had to rushed throughout the day today to attend 4 wedding...in the morning, I had to go to Klang to attend one of my relatives wedding..the bride was my err..anak buah(lebih kurang aa).......near the NorthPort. Rushed back to Serdang to attend Azrul's wedding at the Institute Pertanian Quarters, and then attended my schoolmate's brother wedding..dekat ngn umah aku je..jalan kaki sampai..and the last one was the wedding ceremony of my ex-classmates during my sekolah rendah, Amjad. There, I met another ex-classmate, Raze, whom I never meet since darjah 6. It has been 13 years, and he looked very different, and he also told me the same thing about me. Memang aaa..lama maa 13 tahun. While, yesterday, Noris tied the knot at her home in Kembang Sari...waaa..musim kawin aa sikalang. Kepada semua pengantin baru...Semoga berbahagia sehingga ke akhir hayat.

The Cup of Life

2005-05-25T12:43:00.000+08:00

I went to the Std Shah Alam on Sunday night to watch the Sultan Of Selangor Cup between Selangor Selection vs Singapore Selection. Selangor Selection team consists of players from Selangor Premier League team and with 3 guests players from Selangor MK Land(another team from Premier League side). While the Singapore selection team comprises of best players that they've selected from teams from the S-League..which most of 'em are Singapore national players with some import players who plying their trades in the S-League.

While on my way to the Stadium...like always I used the NKVE expressway and was going thru the Batu 3 toll. As usual, went thru the manual toll booth, paid RM 1.10 and my foot was already pressing the accelerator pedal..suddenly a motorcyclist js went passed the toll booth that my car was in...and the barrier that was opening earlier....shut down and hit my car's front glass panel because that freakin motorcyclist had crossed that barrier..luckily there were only minor(very very minor) scratch...

That even...did not deter my spirit to go and watch the match...and when I arrived...people..coloured with yellow and red..flocking in tens of thousands...into the stadium...even the upper stands are filled with the Red Giant fans...which was a rarity these days(except masa Selangor lawan Kedah aritu)...

Before the actual game started, there was this game of both teams veterans, played each other as a curtain raiser..I could see the likes of Santokh Singh, Rashid Hassan(Selangor goalkeeper coach), Dollah Salleh(coach of the current Selangor team), Zainal Abidin Hassan(currently coaching Super League team, Pahang), K Rajagopal(coach of the under 23/20 Malaysian team), Razali Alias(assistant to Dollah), Khan Hung Meng(currently coaching MK Land Premier League team), K Gunalan, P Maniam...all of them were Selangor veterans..and I also could see Fandi Ahmad(used to play for KL, Pahang and of course Singapore..once the golden boy of Singapore) and his friends playing for the Singapore veterans..the match ended with the Singapore veterans winning 2-1..both goal scored by Fandi.

The actual game only started at around 10.30 pm...which was opened with some fireworks shows which lasted about 10 minutes...kinda grand opening prior to the match...and Selangor Selection won 3-1 with Bambang Pamungkas, Indonesian import scored a brace for Selangor. The match??...excellent...showed some quality football...which I havent seen for some time from Selangor...definitely the most exciting game played by Selangor in many years...

p/s : best gile masa semua kat stadium buat Mexican Wave tak henti-henti..pastu siap bertukar arah lagi...best best.....

UEFA Champions League Final - Liverpool against AC Milan. 2.30 am Thursday on ESPN

May the Force be with you...

2005-05-14T23:12:00.000+08:00

Since my childhood, Star Wars movies are one of my favorites. Used to have that copies of the trilogy videos(A New Hope,The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of the Jedi)..used to play the video tapes times and times...but when I was a child, I really dont like the 5th one(nombo dua punye starwars la masa tu) bcoz of the villains winning..(Luke got his hand chopped off by his dad, Darth)...biasa la...mana suke org jahat menang...

I just love on how they make the movies at that time...since there was no CGI ...they only used models to depict spaceships battle in the outer space...and yet the battle scene when the Rebels attacking the Death Star was excellent...even without CGI, the action sequence and special effects was awesome. And of course the use of blue screen at that time..was done without the computer editing. But still it was in its sheer class. If you could remember TRON was using computer graphic, but it only includes wireframe kind of graphic at that time..and it only came 5 years after the first Star Wars movie was made.

Apart from the special effects and action sequences, what actually made the earlier Star Wars movies a success was the the content of the movies, character building, storyline....just look at how Luke Skywalker being a Jedi..from a rebellious youth in the first movie, slowly developed into a mature, super cool Jedi and lastly defeats the Empire in ROTJ. Plus, the romance between Han Solo and Princess Leia, which initially started as a love triangle between them and Luke, but its just didnt go that way since they found out that Princess Leia was Luke's long lost sister(seperated since childhood)...and antics between C3PO and R2D2 brought comic relief to the movies...all this became the ingredient of success for the trilogy.

In 1999, with such high expectation, I watched the first prequel of the Star Wars..The Phantom Menace. The CGI was flawless...but..the storyline was kinda weak...and even the acting was kinda stiff(that boy who playes as young Anakin..cute..lack of acting skill but)..the only thing that I like about that movie..was..was Darth Maul..js love his weapon.. sith light saber ...the ultra cool villain(protege of Darth Sidious) that got that wushu kind of moves and killed Qui-Gon Jin (played perfectly by Liam Neeson)..mentor of Obi-Wan(Ewan)...Darth Maul apparently..killed later on by Obi Wan.

darth maul's sith light saber....best kan?? hehehe

3 years later...with the same expectation..same as when I watched TPM, I went to the cinema to watch the second prequel of the Star Wars...The Attack of the Clones...again...it didnt live to my expectation...much better than Phantom tho. George Lucas tried to inject some romantic element in the movie between Amidala(Natalie Portman..manya cun wooo) and Anakin..but it failed miserably. The battle scene was excelent..but still it lacks the punch in terms of storyline. I really like the scene in which they showed why Boba Fett(son of Jango Fett) become a bounter hunter...and the most delightful scene was when Yoda fought with Count Dookoo(this was the first time that they showed how Yoda actually fights in a movie)..gile lajuuu...

This coming 19th of May..the last installment of the Star Wars will invade our cinemas...nak gi tengok lahh...the trailer seems promising(like always). Harap2 dapat la tengok dan tidak mengecewakan...May the Force be with me :)

p/s: masa tgk Star Wars yg pertama masa kecik2 dulu aku ada perasan opening credit die..die tulis Star Wars IV A New Hope...masa tu terpikir...mana chapter 1,2,3?...rupenye George Lucas pikir teknologi masa tu tak dapat nak buat citer 1,2 dan 3...dan skarang baru die buat...

A SONG FOR MAMA (by Boyz II Men)

You taught me everything and everything you've given me
I always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, ey, yeah
There isn't anything or anyone that I can be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side, oh
You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey whenever I was down,
you were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
You will always be
You will always be the girl in my life for all times

Mama, mama you know I love you (I love you, ooh, you know I love you)
Mama, mama your the queen of my heart your love is like tears from the stars
Mama I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul
You're always down for me have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong, yes, you did
And you took up for me when everyone was downin' me
You always did understand, you gave me strength to go on
There was so many times looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me and say to me I could face anything
And no one else can do what you've done for me
You'll always be
You will always be the girl in my life, woo, oh

Mama, mama you know I love you (You know I love you, you know I love you)
Mama, mama your the queen of my heart (You are)
Your love is like tears from the stars (Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama I just want you to know (Ooh, mama I just want you to know)
Lovin' you is like food to my soul, oh

Never gonna go a day without you, ooh...
Fills me up just thinkin' 'bout you I'll never go a day without my mama
Mama (You know), mama (Mama) you know I love you Mama
mama your the queen of my heart (The queen of my heart)
Your love is like (Say your love) tears from the stars (Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama (Mama) I just want you to know (Whoa, ma-mama, mama)
Lovin' you is like food to my soul (Lovin' you is like food to my soul)

You are the food to my soul
Yes, you are

Selamat menyambut hari ibu..sayangi ibu anda kerana..tanpa ibu anda siapalah anda sekarang...

What the hell is happening here!! They've advertised a vacancy for the Secretary General post in the newspaper....2 months later the president announced that they've shortlisted 5 candidate to take that job...and the result??...none of 'em made it...instead..the vice president of that organisation actually landed the job (and he was initally the chairman of the interviewing board)...Well..I was talkin about our country's football governing body..the FAM...

They've hired PriceWaterhouse Cooper for auditing and to reorganise the FAM, but the way that they've selected their Secretary General...is way beyond my imagination(or perhaps other people as well lah...other people than those clowns in the FAM). They've said about making changes in the FAM, wanting to have a new look, new vision, but still having that old blokes in the organisation won't making it happen...it'll be the same old story, again and again....

With the national team that can't even conquer the South East Asia region...plus the David Blaine style of magic in selecting their Sec. General...our football is going nowhere...

p/s : dulu presiden die dipanggil presiden seumur hidup...pastu timbalan presiden tu anak die...camne ek presiden seumur hidup tu..tadek demokrasi langsung...giloosss!!!

p/s: my joy was shortlived yesterday...Selangor was trounced 1-4 at Alor Star later that evening....was thinking of goin to Alor Star to watch that match...nasib baik tak gi huhu!!...anyway tahniah Anot!!

Inventing the Abbots

2005-04-25T16:54:00.000+08:00

What actually can make us...to change ourselves to be a better person???..socially i mean..especialy when mixing with friends..well, the problem is...everyone (including me)...always says...."I'm not perfect..nobody's perfect too"...well its not about being perfect...but...it's just about not makin other people annoyed and making peoples around us...happy to mix with us...and some people find it hard to change their attitude just because they think they are nearly perfect in terms of mixing around with people..and they think they know what were they doing and say..when it was actually NOOTTTTTTT!!

Some people think that...if u've done a favor to your friend..then..that friend is bound to help you when u need it..its kinda contracted...well thats a text books stuff in terms of relationship with friends...almost everyone does that...but some people( I just got to know it) do think that...if he/she helped his/her friend...that friend are not just bound to help him/her back...but that friend should prepare to receive such sarcasm or ready to be humiliated(and it was done purposedly for fun..to fulfil his/her entertainment need)...and if that friend tried to do some backlash or sumtin...that could be considered as not justifying the 'help' that he/she had received...

Respect..that is one thing that a friend would be hard to get from another friend...it is not that hard to respect your friend...one simple thing is...just don't make your friend feel annoyed on you..to figure out what would annoyed your friend is not that hard tho...when your friend are not happy..and some might get angry with what you've done..than that's what we called as freakin annoyin!!!

Some people do respect to others...but that only comes when the person that he/she gave respect....
1) got that seniority level in an organisation
2) is org yang berjawatan tinggi(org senior tak semestinye berjawatan tinggi)
3) is org yg ada kepentingan(ni hampir semua org buat)

well..thats 3 kinda people at least lah...but that is not a problem to gave respect to these kinda of people because..paham2 je lah...but how about your friend?? they also should get some respect from us...well thats the problem...its hard to be respected by others unless u have sumtin to show on( that would probably be wealth, jawatan, and maybe looks..that one i'm not sure lah hehe)

For people who do try to improve him/herself socially i mean..especially when mixing with friends...kudos to you!!...its not about inventing a new character in you or your alter ego..no..its actually trying to develop your own characteristics...buang yg keruh amik yg jernih...bermuhasabah diri..its just not kids that need attitude development..adults too..they really need it badly...

What does friendship really means to you....does your friends are the person who

1) should help you when you need it, and if they don't(and without acceptable reason)...no fren anymore
2) should ask help from you first, and you would feel annoyed if your friend approached anyone else prior to you
3) should ask your help whenever your friend is in trouble
4) you can trust to keep your secret, but if the secret is broken...he/she will be the person who you first and foremost want to seek explanation from
5) you can copy his/her work/assignments and you can submit like your own work..if he/she won't give, no fren...
6) lend you money/things to you..but you can pay/give back the money/things he/she lend to you at anytime you want...
7) you can say what ever you wanna say to him/her, even tho it would hurt his/her feeling
8) always points out your weaknesses in almost every aspect...
9) will spent some time for you, whenever you asked to go for movies, bowling, kenduri kahwin and what not...
10) should give souvenirs if your friends went to other places(outstation, vacation) if not...not a true friend...akakakaka....what ever

so what type of friend are you??..what type of friend your friends are??....remember...we are all but not perfect...nevertheless...do look upon ourselves more than lookin upon others

When Nature Calls

2005-04-18T16:23:00.000+08:00

Went to Kolej Teknologi Bestari,Setiu and stayed there for 5 days from 9 to 15 April for invigilating exams for the IPTS-UPM franchise DSK program...Stayed at the college's bilik tamu which was located at the student's block...of course la block lelaki hehe...well it was alrite for a free accomodation..got 3 rooms, 2 toilets and bathroom and air cond. Thot that I would be dead boring in that bilik tamu for the whole stay...but..I was wrong.

Luckily, during the stay, I was accompanied by two guys, Fakri, the warden of that block, and a local lad, Fauzi, who was a UPM graduate and work as a pegawai ICT at that kolej. I was with 'em for most of the time, when I wasnt invigilating lah...both of them took me around the college area, doin the jalan2 thingy at Bandar Permaisuri, jertih(La hot spring) and Kuala Terengganu.

Everything was great, I was treated almost like a VIP at that college, it was not about having protocol or what, but they(the staff) make me felt like home....but...the worst thing was not having air cond at the exam hall for the whole stay....The college air cond system broke down because of the problem in the college water piping.

During the invigilation, all was about feelin hot and sweating. Not just me, all the students were fellin the heat, especially for the 11am to 1pm paper and afternoon papers (2.30 -4.30pm). Was hoping that they could fixed the problem before the exam ends, well I was wrong. Had to endure the heat for the whole invigilation days!!huhuh

I think during the stay, I had a plenty of food per day. Right after I arrived at the Terengganu airport at around 10.35am, fetched by En Hanapi and En Zahari, and on our way to the college, they brought me to this seaside place called Pantai Penarek and had some sotong goreng tepung, ikan goreng tepung and of course keropok lekor. After that at noon, i was dished with lunch...arrrghh...mcm nak pecah perot aku. I started invigilating at 2 pm at the same day I arrive. After the exam, they served foods and plus, later at the afternoon the lecturers brought me and Kak B to have satay Jabi. Later at 8 pm again they served me for dinner!!!

Like I said earlier, I was accompanied by these 2 guys. Fauzi the local lad, brought me to his hometown, near the Pantai Penarek, about 5 minutes from the college. Met his parents, and they serve me with wat else, keropok lekor and a coconut. The coconut was huge!! and was the one that his dad just plucked from the tree and I drank the juice right from the fruit...no preservatives and sugar added!!!Pure coconut juice!!huhu. They also got a well...yes well..a perigi in their backyard. Fauzi told me that this well wont dry even when at drought season.

On the 4th day, Fauzi and Fakri..along with En Nizam and Kak B and Kak Zan(bukan kak zan fakulti ye)...we went to La Hot Spring. Initially I thot it was called LA..as in Los Angeles acronym...since the signboards spelled it as LA...well it was just La..La Hot Spring. The place was kinda far from the college...we had to go through deep into the villages of Jertih...even so, the road was OK. When we arrived, without any delay, plunged my feet to the hot water and man..its hot!!Slowly I did manage to put my whole body into the hot water and man...its like being pinched all over the body..feelin like the water fixed all my loose muscle and joints!!....mcm kene urut la plak. Then, I went to a river(a stream more like it) just near the hot water pool and this one was a cool and refreshing water...it's like going back to nature.!!

On the last day I, I went to Kuala Terengganu to buy some, hehe..none other than keropok...this time it was keropok losong.. originated from a village called Kg Losong, near KT. Famous this kampung is, because of its keropok. I also went to the famous Pasar Payang to buy some batik. Terengganu also famous for its batik production as well as its songket...tapi tak cukup duit nak beli songket huhu..!!

The trip was excellence(except for the air cond failure thingy)...really enjoyed my stay there...got new friends...got back in nature...and what not...it was an enjoyable experience.

p/s:thanks alot to Fakri...fauzi...en Hanapi and En Zahari as well those akak2 yg tolong aku masa kat sana

Fast and Furious

2005-04-09T21:46:00.000+08:00

Furious...
Yes...I was furiously furious at this one part-timer...she always got into my nerves...this one lady..who is a part-time lecturer who teach the same subject as I am, always asked me to do this and do that...her reason was...she's got things to do..she got no time to go to this faculty..and for that matter she always asked me to do things..yess i'm being helpful at first..but it seems like she was takin advantage on me of being helpful...

one thing was, I couldn't say anything about it...especially right to her face when she came here to see me...but I sometimes gave some excuses to not helping her(was that appropriate??..lantak lahhhh)...She's being doing this for the whole semester..right from the first day of this semester..until the final exam..she asked me to collect the exam papers...coz she couldnt make it to the exam...but, right after the exam ended, she said she can come to the faculty to see me..to collect the exam paper...aeeerrrgghhhh!!!

Fast...

Did a test drive on my fren's brand new car...R3. R3 is the newest version of Proton Gti, in which Proton had made some changes on it. It has 1.8 liter engine(the earlier version just had 1.6) 16 valve, momo steering, advan tyres with '16 rim...recaro full bucket front seats(earlier version just had half bucket)...and even lighter body. Took it round the Sri Serdang area....and did some speed test at the long straight road in front of the Petronas...it jumped into 100++ km/h in just seconds...it's a real speed demon this Proton is!!!....(and mmg lagi pick-up gila-b*** dari kereta aku la heheheh)

************************

Right now, I'm at the Kolej Teknologi Bestari at Setiu to invigilate the UPM-IPTS exam...thanx to Fauzi and Fakri that I got this chance to log on into internet....nice people they are...they are very helpful..despite the fact that they speak different accent from me..and imagine that i am the only one not speaking like them...even Kak B from fakulti pon org terengganu...huhu...luckily I used my experience when I was at MRSM kuantan where I mixed alot with students from pantai timur..with that I do understand what were they sayin(sumtime la aku tak paham gakkk heheh)....

p/s : kenyang gile sekarang ni...esek makan makan makan...dari aku turun katerbang sampai malam ni esek nak makan je..ni jap agi pon nak gi makan lagi....

Played a football match friendly yesterday for the faculty...it was against Jabatan Perdana Menteri...sound big eiii...hehhe..Jabatan Perdana Menteri...we lost 2-5 at Padang A. Glad that we could group a bunch of people (which I thot wouldn't be that easy) to make the eleven to play a football match...thanks for coming..

We lead 2-1 up until the breather, but conceded 4 goals in 2nd half hehehe...well..the results is not that important..it's more about the get together of the staffs and to closened up the relationship...in the opponent team..I've also met my ex-schoolmate..and my Kuantan junior..glad to see them...

Got my second yellow card in two weeks time...1st one when I was playing for e-flip...that one was for my hard tackle on the opponent just on the edge of the penalty box..had to do that tho..else he could slip thru into the penalty box and score...well yesterday i got my yellow card from the unlikely source...me and my big mouth!!...I dont know la..after the Selangor match that was postponed last Sunday(which was poorly decided by the match referee)..I was kinda holding some grudge on the men in black..especially yesterday..I never agreed with all the decisions made by the referee and the linesman against us...hehe...I complained on the referee decision of giving freekick to the referee on one occasion during the match...He said "Saya ref saya dekat nampak, awak jauh...", then he flashed the yellow card to me...with that yellow card, it didn't deter me to complaint on all the referee's decision thruout the match hehe..(tp yg lain tu slow2 je..takut kene second yellow card abis la aku)

Prior to the match...helped Lan on booking the fields to play the match...one thing that I felt dissapointed is when the pegawai sukan said, "Lain kali kalau boleh kurangkan la buat friendly ngn org luar". Before that he already explained on outsiders might complained on the facility or whatever when they are playin here in UPM..and because of that we are not encourage to have friendlies with outsiders...come on..be professional..why are they so scared about complaints..complaints are ment to improve the service and facility...i really dont agree about not having friendlies with outsiders...

Well...I hope that we could have more friendlies this year..tak kire la bola ke..volley ke..ape ke..janji dapat kumpul reramai..tu yg penting...esek bola je nanti boring plak...but err..still I disagree with some of the referee's decisions

p/s:pancit la...

Rush Of Blood

2005-03-28T17:36:00.000+08:00

Last night I went to the Shah Alam stadium to watch the premier league match between Selangor and Melaka...this one will be the last match before the league will take a break for about 4 weeks since the national team will be involved in the Sukan Perpaduan Islam in Saudi Arabia...I thot it will be a routine for me to go there...watch some football...screamin aloud...shouting in giving support to my team...except for the watching football bit...I did all the screaming and shouting all for the wrong reason..to protest to the referee of the match...the match was postponed due to water logged pitch.

I was very angry (semua org dalam stadium tu pon marah..coz they pay 10 bucks for the ticket and I didnt...but still marah jugak la heheh) and frustrated at the match official(referee la) because of his stupidity in making such decision. The thing is, the pitch was not that water logged after all...there were some patch of water here and there..and I think it still can be played on...people got more frustrated when there was an announcement on the scoreboard saying the match will be postponed to the next morning at 8.30 am...then people especially the selangor fans went on a rampage...throwing their seats to the track and pitch and they even started fire at the seats....firecrackers were thrown here and there...it seems like a 'rusuhan' in Indonesia or in Kazakhstan....

There were also some cops trying to console some of the selangor fans...hundreds more running towards the cops..and they were likewanted to beat the cops up...all of 'em were rushing through the stairs..i was almost nearly got run(mcm citer Rundown la yg the Rock belakon tu heheh) downed by those group of selangor fan..gosh..why did they so pissed off with the cops...imagine there were just 2-3 cops facing hundreds of fans and are surronding 'em and kept comin...luckily nothing happen except for some war of words between some of the fans and the cops.

Then there was this announcement...saying the match is postponed tomorrow nite(tonite laaa) at 8.30pm...still haven't make my mind about going...what if it'll be raining tonite??..postpone..again??

p/s: aku ada borak ngn indon sorang ni..die kata.."gi mana mau nonton esok pagi pak..sok pagi saya karija..."..with his indon slang la...sian diorang...dahla nak dapat RM 10 tu pon diorang kene keje keras dah tu nak tengok bola pagi senin..mana la dapat..dah tentu arah diorang kerja...ref ni senang2 je postpone game...

L A Confidential

2005-03-24T11:58:00.000+08:00

Over confidence...something that someone think or feel that they already got what they are pursuing..even before they successfully own it...but why are people thinking/feeling like that??

In my experience...I am the lesser in being over confidence...its not good personally...but its not bad either. For me..feelin over confidence in pursuing something is good...in a way that it motivates(ye ke?) us...making us to think positive(no pun intended) about we can and we will get what we are pursuing..so whats wrong with it then??

Maybe..when it is not successfull..the pressure of being over confidence would be greater than not being too confident...especially when we are playing games...u know like soccer or what not...for example yesterday my team were leading the opponent 2-0 in just about 10 minutes into the game...on that situation anyone would think we could win the match easily(including me heheh)...but sometimes(most of the times perhaps)...we forgot that soccer is a 90 minutes game....we ended losing 5-6..was that about being over-confidence??

I think being confidence is good....but it does have its limits tho...another thing is..being confidence won't win us anything...but it will help us to be focused on what we are pursuing..feeling confidence alone is not enough..ape tah lagi over confidence...

watching other people showing their over confidence are sometimes annoying...especially when we are pursuing the same thing with that person....errgghhh...it'll be a very sweet win if we defeated that person...but if we lose...it will be such a painful defeat...agony

12.45 pm

It's good to be healthy...you know..gettin ourselves into sports...actively...I js like being involve in it..especially in tournaments...its kinda challenging my minds as well as my physical ability...they have never been challenged for some time especially after I got this tutor job....the nearest that I've reached in challenging those aspect in me, was during playin table tennis or soccer in the afternoon...not much of a challenge tho...dari segi mental tak tercabar langsung sebab main biase2 nak peluh je...

But...playin 3 different sports in 2 days had drain all my energy and stamina..one of 'em requires the lot...which was soccer(we were thrashed 0-7 by the kolej 10 students..tapi team e-flip semua hampir semua org veteran...dan aku pon pancit hehe)....and I did have to pay the price of being involved in those sports...I took it too much perhaps...with my knee condition was actually not at its best...My knee almost got twisted when I played soccer last friday...Which I played right after playin the volleyball last group match...which I also played badminton the day before..practicing for the gabungan's badminton team...yg aku tak tentu lagi main utk gabungan hahaha...padan muka aku...as a result of my 2 days of active sports = recurring knee injury.

********************************

5.50pm

Just got back from the volleyball match semis...against G10, damn their so good...which eventually we lost in straight sets(we played best of 3..unlike in the group matches).I think this is the best that I could play in this volleyball sports which I rarely played in my life(compared to the other match that I've played laa heheh..yg lain mcm tahapehape)...but still it was not enough to help my team to advanced to the final. The problem with me was my knee...I still had some pain whenever I jumped or duck to spike or to dig the ball...but during the game I just ignored the pain...the pain did takesome revenge towards me after the game tho...right now the pain is killin me addooooiiii...

Well...that's the end of this year volleyball tournament for us...Lan told me that we also qualified for the semifinals last year..and won the 3rd placing match...no 3rd placing this time but..nevertheless..we still maintain our position as among the 4 best volleyball team in this uni...congrats to all of us...

p/s : kekalahan bukanlah penamat bagi segala-galanya...sama jugak kemenangan...tapi kalau menang lagi best heheh...

Practical Joke

2005-03-03T23:47:00.000+08:00

Last Wednesday...I went to the Fakulti Ekonomi and PEngurusan to attend some pre-interview for Jaminan Kualiti(wat da...) thingy..I was told this is to ensure that they maintain the standards that they've set coz they already have ISO 2001..2002..can't remember..

Me and Kak L had to attend because we are the coordinators for the two subjects that were taught to the student from that faculty....at the meeting also had lecturers from other faculty as well...mathematics...english and so on...

I saw one women who seem I've seen her somewhere...but I couldn't remember....then I js when..hmm..biar lah..but then...suddenly..she asked me, "Anak Kak Piah kan???"...."ye", I replied. "Ayah sihat?", again she asked. "Dah sehat dah, ok la", I answered politely. Then the meeting started. Now I remember..she used to order kuih from my mother...

As the meeting started, each of the lecturers that came from other faculty had to introduce themselves, including me and Kak L. We also had to inform to the commitee about the content of the course, tasks or assignment give...and also the weight for every tasks or tests given...

I actually expect some questions from the commitee, coz they would want to know what have we teach on their students about IT...but I was wrong..the committee js bombarded the lecturers from the faculty bahasa who teach their students English writing...well the meeting did reach some 'boiling' moments especially when the English course lecturer defended their contents as well as their method of teaching...

Later in the evening, I went to Putrajaya to visit some Diploma student for their LI. Went there with Lan, and reached there at around 2.15 pm. I met those 3 students who are doing their practical at the Pejabat Keselamatan in JPM. Cool place to have LI...they have this very cool and beautiful scenery of Putrajaya...their office was also neat and tidy...very not typical pejabat kerajaan heheh...but they did not get allowance tho..

Had a looked at their work...each of 'em workin on different kinda system. Only one student who nearly completed on what he's doing...others..hmmm..looked like last minute punye kerja as they only have a week left for their practical

Tommorow I'm gonna play the last group match for the volleyball inter staff tournament...we've already won 3 matches..and today's was the easiest..a walkover....hope we could go further in that tournament....winning it perhaps...insya allah...hehe

Selangor 4 Pahang 1

2005-02-24T09:01:00.000+08:00

Last night I went to Shah Alam Stadium to watch the FA Cup match between Pahang and Selangor...and it was I think the most anticipated clash in Malaysian Football this season. Pahang with its all-'star' player of local footballers has 3/4 of Malaysian national team...while Selangor with 3-4 national players..plus 2 new signing of Bambang and Elie Aiboy..both of 'em are Indonesian national players..adds up the foreign legion of the Selangor team, in which they already have an Argentinian Brian Fuentes, a last season's signing.

Arrived at the stadium at around 8.10 pm, which I saw thousands of fans were flocking to the stadiums, a scene that I never seen in the last 2 years. Last season the crowds at the Shah Alam Stadium were just like 2-3 thousands per match, but this time around, it nearly reached half of the 80,000 capacity stadium...around 35-40 ooo people!!

I saw alotta 'em wearing those red and yellow jersey, the pride of the Red Giant...in which some of 'em wearing the new jerseys. I also saw a number of the fans wearing that seasoned selangor jersey..warna merah kuning dah luntur2 dah hehe..maybe they haven't wear that jersey for so long that they've kept the jersey until its color has worn out....

Gone were the days that I could come to the stadium 5 minutes just before the match starts..js like last season...this time..it's a different atmosphere..the parking lot are jammed with cars lining up to enter to the stadium even when it was still 40 minutes before the game starts.

I actually anticipated a good match between 'em...especially from Pahang...with its status as a Super League team, they should've live to up to not just mine but to most of the fans' expectations...which they failed miserably. They lost tamely to Selangor 4-1. Funny thing is, they were not just lost...but was thrashed by selangor...they gave 2 soft goals...and their imports were bunch of craps!!...sorang mat saleh tua..sorang african yg pon tak boleh blahh!! I felt sorry for them...they should've recruited better imports next time...

Whitewashed....

2005-02-18T15:14:00.000+08:00

Yeaapp..thats the word...whitewashed...I was tottaly whitewashed yesterday. There was a selection for the table tennis inter staff competition. The venue was this very faculty..and the staffs from the e-flip gabungan...which most of 'em are the library staffs. Damn their good!!...

They arranged a single matchup between our faculty players with theirs..as the team manager said..they wanted to know the level of play so that they can select who gonna represent the gabungan...I played the second single game..and it was against a kinda old and rather shorty pakcik...but I didnt look down or what not...but I expect he's the player...and I was so damn right...he was so good in swerving the balls in which I couldn't reply most of his serves...

Later on that afternoon..I played again with another library staff..but this time with a younger one...I lost again...even I gave some descent fight in the second set...it was a little too late. Then this one pakcik told to Kamal that we..the faculty players badly need a good table tennis bat...especially the rubber..it has to be a good one...for me..he maybe just being diplomatic...as they won all the matchups between this faculty and the library except kamal..

This time around, they deserve to represent the gabungan...as they really THE playerss..we are one or two(or maybe three) steps behind them...anyway..it doesn't make me feel so low tho..in fact it just motivates me to better my play..to play like them at least....

p/s : kengkadang semangat saja tak cukup...but please..ukur baju kat badan sendiri and kite tak boleh pikir pasal diri sendiri je....

'Seminar Islam Hadhari : Bioinformatik Sebagai Alat Dakwah'...Day Two

2005-02-16T17:58:00.000+08:00

Day Two..

There were only 5 papers were presented today...but none of 'em interest me...except that...I thot I'm the only person who terhangguk-hangguk because of sleepy but...I found that many of the participants were already sleeping..and the funny thing was..those who were sleeping are the ustads ustads hehehe..

The seminar finished at around 1 pm....had my lunch at IKIM...fetched by abg pian with the big white faculty's van...arrived at the faculty around 2.30pm...

Today I felt pain all around my body...caused maybe by playin futsal last night...errgghhh...but still planning to play football this afternoon tho...gian dah lama tak main..

Anyway...after I went to IDEAL to sort the PJJ things out...I went to the Astaka to support faculty's women volleyball team...heard about their lost yesterday and some story about their game.....and heard from Kamal that they won't get into the semi final even with a win...nevertheless..still give 'em support tho...semangat kesukanan mesti ada!!...and they won..cayalah..well done gulzz!!...

Next 2 weeks...the mens volleyball will commence...and I could be playin..ahahah..volleyball's not my game tho..anyway..semangat kesukanan..belasah je..actually I'm hoping to play badminton for the inter staff game..but Kamal told me that there had been no news from the other member of the gabungan about the badminton...hmmmm...

Still gotta lot work to do...final project to mark..PJJ test this Sunday...LI visit and final exam questions..and the list goes on...

'Seminar Islam Hadhari : Bioinformatik Sebagai Alat Dakwah'...Day One

2005-02-15T23:04:00.000+08:00

Today I went to a seminar called 'Seminar Islam Hadhari : Bioinformatik Sebagai Alat Dakwah'. It was held at IKIM at Jalan Duta...It was a 1 and a half day seminar..today and tommorow...I arrived at the faculty at 7.15am..that's very early alrite....and went to IKIM by faculty's big white van..I was accompied by Kak T...What had interest me to attend the seminar is..the bioinformatic research..how far does Malaysian has reached in this field..as well as its connection with Al-Quran and Sunnah...hmmm...should enlightened me alot this one seminar huh...well it did..

Arrived at IKIM at around 8.35am....what a wonderful architecture this place has...I was like being in an arabic country as its building shows the elements of islamic and morrocan architecture...then we first went to the registration.....trying to find my name at the participant list...should be there...since I already faxed my entry form last Monday...glad my name was there...hehe..kalau tak malu je...anyway..me and kak t then went to the seminar hall...

There were alot of Pak aji's and ustazahs (as they were wearing kopiahs and tudung labuh hehe)at the seminar hall....along with rupe-macam academician people..hehe..later I found out that the participants came from different kind of fields...ustads..ustazahs...academicians..medical doctors and even muftis...and they all came for one purpose...bioinformatics and dakwah...

There were 6 papers presented...prior to the paper presentations there was a short opening ceremony...oficially opened by the IKIM chairman...First paper presentation started at 10.30am...

The first paper was presented by a UPM Agrobio Director...he presented his paper on implications of bioinformatics on Islamic Dakwah...the he proposed a system where all the ulama' and bioinformatics expert can discuss on certain areas regarding deciding on matters like halal or haram...Anyway...the only paper that really really opened my mind and didnt make me feel sleepy was the 4th paper..which was presented by the President of Malaysian Islamic Medical Practitioners...what i like about his paper as well as his presentation was...he could relate some surahs in Al-Quran with the medical facts that he presented...he also relates some surahs with what he had encountered when he was in Acheh...giving medical services to the tsunamis victims...and some of his story about his experience there really made me feel how powerful and merficul Allah is...

One of the story was...he interviewed one of the survivor...who actually stayed in one of the mosque in Acheh when the giant tides hit...the survivor said..the tides was huge and very high..as high as a coconut tree...but..when the tides reached the mosque..it just split...it just went pass the mosque..it didnt hit the mosque..even a small crack no...and the survivor could look all the water and the things that the tides took along throuh the mosque window...he said..it feels like being in a aquarium...Subhanallah..

He also relates one surah in Al-Quran with the incidents that he encountered when he was in Acheh...where in the surah tells about the dooms day...pregnant mothers will had miscarriage and some people will looked like drunk but instead they are not...

Well he wanted to relate the dooms day with what had happen in Acheh..he said..it is sort of like a pre dooms day...in which he encountered those miscarriage women...they are dead with their babies came out of their wombs..and the drunk thingy was in fact..the moving earth(because of the earth quake and aftershocks which he also encountered when he was there) which made people terhoyong hayang mcm orang mabuk...

The presenter is not just good in medical field..but he also very good in arabic language as well as translating surahs into bahasa melayu....he's not that old tho..kinda 30ish of age...may Allah bless him...

Tommorow..there will be 4 more papers to be presented and I hope that it will give me more not just knowledge but also get to know more of kebesaran Allah SWT...I also hope that I have the strength to listen to all presentaton tommorow...hehe..coz some of the papers presented today did make me feel sleepy..luckily ada kak t kat seblah..malu sket nak tido heheh...

Escape from Alcatraz

2005-02-04T17:52:00.000+08:00

It has been a hectic week for me as I am gearing up for next week's Worksyop on Java for Web Technology. Why was I so bz?...hmmm..well..thanx to the department's member...They unanimously decided to make me to conduct a seminar or course or workshop for my department..since I never conduct any ever since I worked here...hehe...

Initially I was scheduled to conduct a seminar on my research proposal on June...but during department's last meeting..I think they really2 wanted me to be in front of them in bilik seminar..so they decided me to conduct my seminar on january....hmmm..me dont think so..but..i js went silence..sape la aku ni...luckily there was a person who defended me by saying..."isshh mana sempat die nak prepare bulan satu ni..proposal phd die"..phewww..I thot I already escaped...I was totally wrong when one of them asked me, "Iskandar..awak tau Java?","Tau la sket2", I replied..."Java connect dgn database tau?", he asked me again..."err..tak tau laa Dr..", I answered. "Laaaa...takkan tak tau!!!"..lauded him. Then there was this suggestion about me mengajar java with database and web technology, eventho they already heard about my 'dont know' about java with database...they still agreed on making me to conduct a workshop in January...hmmm..

Glad to hear that Man Utd beaten Arsenal for the second time this season...ahahah...Yesterday morning..when I was on my way to the office..I listen to Hitz...and a Gunners' fan called...and told the DJs that Man Utd won through rough tactics...he even said..Man Utd didnt go for the ball...they'd just go for their opponents legs...ahahahah..sore loser!!...but the best thing is..when the two DJ said...the Gunners are no more Gunners...Goners should be their nick nowadays...akakaka...

This whole Java workshop thing has halted many of my daily and weekly programs...no pingpong or soccer in the afternoon for the whole week(luckily ada futsal)...I didnt watch the Man U vs Arsenal game...and I might miss Melaka vs Selangor game this Sunday...I already planned with my friend to go to Melaka on Sunday afternoon....hmmm...Luckily I have Mr K to help me out on setting and configuring the Comps in the Lab...but still I dont think I will make it to this Sunday's game...

Last Tuesday and Wednesday, I played futsal for the Gabungan of this faculty...lost all game tho..but...I managed to score a goal in 1-4 defeat against..err..I can't remember which team...header tuuu(well actually it just hit my shoulder and went straight into the net..hehe)..thanks to azri for the nice cross..

Just finishing writing and designing the handsout and modules...Hope that everything will be fine for the workshop next week...but I have to keep sayin to myself...silence is golden...

p/s : "mungkin aku memang patut kene mcm tuu...tapi tu laa..org lain tak bersalah..apa2 pon aku jugak..."

Nothing to Lose

2005-01-15T08:18:00.000+08:00

Last night I went to the stadium to give support to my colleagues as they competed in UPM staff track and field tournament....me along with iso..KA...and ET..also with kak bayah, kamal and ita...at the upm stadium. Couple of day before that I went to the same venue..to give support for the marching team...the sad thing was...the crowds watching the opening ceremony...were virtually non-existent!!!..just some bunch of people were watching...and I think...the total of the staff who involved in the marching are much bigger than the spectators...Blame it to the organiser since they organised it on the working days...

Ok..back on the track and field thingy.....watching my colleagues running and jumping with full semangat....my heart were like urging me...if only I could join them running and jumping...you know...being one of the athlete...mesti best..it doesnt matter if we win or lose...but if we win thats a bonus for us...yang penting...just like AD said...this is the time to mix around with other people from other part of the UPM... i did see some of them who were competing..are my school mates...we used to play hockey or soccer together, but aaa...segan plak laa nak tegorr..if only i join competing...maybe bole laa borak2 kot...but i was just a mere spectator...

Actually its a proud thing to represent an organisation that we are involved in..u know in this case our faculty..it js gave us somewhat a spirit that we wont get every time...u know..compare to playing petang2..be it on playin ping pong...playing volley..representing the faculty are somewhat a bit special..coz it involve..some stress...some spirit and determination that we had to adhere with...of all the people in the faculty...the ones who competed are the selected ones...lantak laa..bia la org kata kite terpilih pasal org lain tak compete..janji kite main...its about the faculty jugakk..so syabas laa to all of u who compete in the track and field..cant wait to involve in other sports...

I already ask Kamal if there is a badminton tournament..i would like to join...soccer pon bole..ping pong pon bole jugakk..teringat masa sekolah2 dulu...u know..playing soccer or badminton for my school and my deparment in UNITEN...and all the girls were giving support fullamak..terharunye aku....ttehehehehe..

Hope that our faculty will compete in other sports offered for this years staff sports tournament...and will get support from other staff...

AMir and Pian already plan to play futsal in Bangi on Monday..hope that all is according to plan despite some of the registered players already quitting because of other commitment.cant blame 'em tho...kalau umur panjang..next time bole main..

The year that was

2004-12-31T23:42:00.000+08:00

2004...

Got nuttin to shout about this year..not until mid of 2004 that I was called for some interviews starting from June. Since I was just came back from Melbourne..just finished my studies in Dec `03...I still didnt know where I'm heading..i mean jobwise laa..

At that time..I was thinking of enjoying my life after having gruelling 1 1/2 years Down Under. I didnt say that i didnt enjoy my life in Melbourne..in terms of study..I did enjoy it..very much...When I got back here..alot of people asked me..Hey did u go to Gold Coast u know..the MovieWorld..Hey did u go to Bondi beach..theres alotta girls in bikini down there...hey did u go to Metallicak concert in Sydney..I just said no. Sorry to tell u that, I didnt spent so much time in travelling throughout the Australia...but I managed to buy some time to go to couples of beautiful places...most of the time..I spent my time in the lab. I'm not sayin that I'm a programmer junkie..but..I had to stay in the lab..doin all the assigments..and maybe a bit of research..to complete the assignment needs..or else..i'll screwed up my grades.

I'm a slow learner...that was why I had to spent a lot of time in the lab...week in week out..even in weekends....I only went to jalan2 during the semester break..not mid sem though..end of semester break i mean..

When I got back here...I feel like I'm lost..after having myself occupied in the lab during my study in Melbourne..after i finished it..I somewhat got nuttin to do..right after I arrived here..I have this whole month of January to meet my realtives, old friends,so I managed to get myself occupied..just for the 1st month..

Then..came the boredom...I gone through my life..virtually duin nuttin..except playin soccer in the afternoon...and watchin tele until next morning..my siang was occupied with sleep..At that time..I want to do this whole lazy thingy u know like...tido..and then makan..tengok tiwi...

After some time(that was around March and April)..I was tired of duin this lazy things..enough of relaxation..I want to go for vacation..or sumtin like that..but no money and no kaki..since all of my friends are workin...while I was just sitting duck at home. So I started finding jobs on April...just name it..jobstreet..jobsdb...the star classified..rampaiiklan..iklaneka..I just applied anything that is related to IT..and of course database..

May was the month of intervies...went to several interviews but to no avail..not until I went to MARA's and UPM's interview...that I can see what I'm heading...whether to be a programmer..or analyst or a teacher..with some research to do..and the rest was history.

End of July I was recruited to UPM as a tutor. Ironically..within months of workin in UPM..i got numbers of call and even offer for jobs that I applied and interviewed previously...I just couldnt understand..why I didnt budge from here to accept other offer...i js hardly move to other place since here I'm feelin happy (not entirelyla)..

Anyway...hope that 2005 will be the year that make me more stable...emotionally, mentally and of course financially...and I wish that I could continue workin as I have to further my study, which I'm planning it right now...

Don't Tell Me you've not been warned

2004-12-16T16:03:00.000+08:00

It has been some time since I last blog...got nuttin interesting to write actually....not until today.

I actually hate when people misunderstood me..especially when I'm trying to do sumtin good..but people think otherwise...really hate that!!!

I went to the Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang for this faculty. I was quite reluctant to go to that ceremony since, I thot that it would be boring..since the events would only has talk and talk and then award giving ceremony..thats all..the best that I could do there would be applausing for the recipient of the awards, sijil and what not. Then I decided to go to the ceremony to see all the works that I've done especially the sponsors who I helped in finding 'em was a success for that ceremony. Well...it turned out..even more than that...negatively

Some of the recipients did not attend to the ceremony. When names were called upon to receive the award...there were numbers who did not turn up..not even a representative. Initally, I was told by the MC to be the rep for this girl who did not attend the ceremony...I repeat for that girl only. Then the thing got worse...I had to go in front to take 2 more awards sebagai wakil, as those recipient also did not turn up. The 2nd time I took the award, people started to laugh at me, maybe because of me who'd be the wakil for recipient who didnt turned up..then the third time...jangan cerita laa org gelak kan aku macamana...i was kinda humiliated...just because I went in front 3 times to take those awards. Laugh it out everyone!!..hahahahaha..laugh your ass off..!!!Beyoooo*&^*(^(&^*&!!

Who they think I am...a clown(badut)..a laughing stock or sumtin??...they didnt know that I actually save the blushes out of that freakin ceremony..as others, when the name of the recepient who didnt attend were called, were pointing at me to take the awards...I think one is enuff for me and others should be more responsible..hey..this is the faculty's ceremony for god sake..dont u have any feelin to make this ceremony a succesful one!!...and they didnt have any feelin then..so they js past it to me...but then they were the ones who laughed me out loud!!

Honestly, I was trying to save the ceremony from being stuck...in waiting for people who did not turn up and without wakil...to take the awards..and I was trying to do good..thats all...not even a bit in my well-tuned mind that i went in front to take up all those 3 awards just to be funny....to make some joke or make myself stupid in front of the crowd...

Sometime people got confused of themselves in determining whether this one particular person were duin good or bad things, being serious or making fun...fall in love or js being friend. In my case...When I was trying to do good...people look at me as if I was making fun of it...and they laugh at me like hell like i am doing astand up comedy..and then when I'm tryin to be funny, people think that I am insulting him/her...why they always got me wrong..the thing is..the message is clear enough to be seen....logically all of 'em got brains to determine what I am duin..

To hell with 'em...hope that all of 'em who laughed me out just now....will make themselve being laughed by other people in rather more humiliating situation...careful with what u r laughing at!!

Event Horizon

2004-12-09T16:39:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I've attended 2 events which held 30 kilometres apart...why 30 KM??In the morning around 9 am, I went to Istana Hotel to attend a press conference for an Award for Best IT student. Then at 2pm I attended an opening ceremony and a forum for lecturers teaching technique here in UPM.

I've been told that in order for me to arrive in time for the latter program, I shouldnt drive to KL..just take public transport. So my sister suggested me to take LRT and then KL Monorel to Jalan Raja Chulan. It was my 1st time riding KL Monorel, and ...it was just the same like riding LRT,Putra or Komuter..but err..KLIA express is I thing the best rail transport that I've ride..in Malaysia la.

I took my LRT at the Bandar Tasik Selatan and stopped at Hang Tuah Station near Stadium Negara for an interchange with KL Monorel..also at Jalan Hang Tuah. From there, 2 more stations to go before I reached to Raja Chulan stopped..the stations were Hang Tuah, Imbi and then Raja Chulan.

When I was in the KL Monorel which was stopping at the Imbi station, I was standing by the doorway and my hand were hanging at the hand rail at the top of the monorel. Then there were this dozens of people wanted to go out of the monorel in which I moved aside to pave some space for 'em to go out. After that, there was this women who were also getting out of the monorel..as I said..I already gave way and wasnt standing on other people's way to get out. But....this women suddenly put her hand on my stomach..and it seem that she's trying to push me away from there as if Iwas still blocking her way to the door..which I wasnt. When I thougt she was pushing her hand on me..actually she didnt...she was like putting her hand and then it moved downward a little bit. Some of u guys might think that I was perasan....but seriously..that really happened..she was like taking her time on her way walking out of the monorel..while putting her hand on my tummy..

When the women went out of the train...and the train moved..I was dumbfounded...what on earth was she doing..I wasn feelin mad nor pleasure...but a bit shocked..arrgghhh..aku ternoda!!!..!!err would that be considered as harassment??...I also had a thought..what if a man do that to a women??....surely that man would get a kicked on his a**!!!..

*********************************

At night I was invited by a friend to watch a football match between malaysia and Timor Leste...maaann...it was a dull match. Eventho Malaysia won 5-0..but our team lacks the quality..still same old story..luckily for our team..Timor Leste is not the team that could match even for our standards of football. I got this special pass where me and my friend sat at the VIP seat. Besides the VIP box there were this VVIP box just next to where we were sitting. So I could see the face of so called big shots of FAM..including the Deputy President of FAm..Tengku abdullah. When the game ended..he was on his way out of the box and there were people around him greeted him and sembah him just like in the old malay movies. Me and friend didnt even stand but actually he was not that near to us...kira 4-5 bangku jugak jauhnya...so kire jauh laa jugak..but suddenly he gave me that stare..maybe we didnt seem to show him respect or what..I dunno..like Ali G said..R.E.S.T.E.P.C.T!!

I asked my friend "Ko perasan tak tadi Tengku Abdullah tu pandang".."A-a laa die pandang slack laa, aku nampak tadi", he replied. "Aku rasa pasal kite tak sembah die kot", he said. "Alaa..die jauh laa..tapi tu laa die mmg pandang kite slack..biarlah". Suddenly there was this word came into my mind..."tulah"..it's sort of very bad things happen if u do bad things to sultan or any of its family member...ye ke ??

Later on, I was invited to have some drinks at a hotel in PJ..along with my friend and some other friends. One of them was a malaysian footballing legend. I knew him very well as he was such a talented and skillfull in his heydays(knew him through tele laa..always watch him play at that time). There at the coffee house he relived his glory days when he was playing for national team...and he compared his past days with the current players...who are too manja. He told us that they trained like dogs when they were selected for national team. They trained hard...and that was why..once our country had qualified for Olympics in 1974

Wheww..what a tiring day for me...need some rest afterwards which I went straigt to my room an buuuum "!!!

Permission To Land

2004-12-01T22:02:00.000+08:00

Have been silent since my last entry....which I eventually deleted it because of unforseen circumstances. Been so freakin bz since last week as new semester has started...and mannn...dozens of students kept knockin on my door everyday to see me...their purpose..ranges from...needed my permission to register subject...to...wanted to see the real me..who is the penyelaras of his subject(this kid js wanted to say that he has registered into the subject that I supervised...thats all...hmmm...).

Anyway..did kinda revamp on my blog(not much thou...but its better than those pale green template.. really dont like that one..but I didnt know why I chose the previous template in the 1st place...

Got 2 good news 2 days ago..which actually I already wrote an entry for that..but suddenly it dissapeared..and now I want to write it again..hehe..1st one was that...somebody from other university is willing to be my supervisor...that university also offer the program that focused on the field that I wanted to do for my Phd...secondly was...Pn Z told me that I am appointed as a supervisor for a long distance program..meaning..monay..monay!!!...and she even told me today that I'm gonna be a supervisor for another subject for the IPTS...meaning more money!!!Insyaallahh..(and that should be counted as 3 good news heheh)..

Again..I got teased by some colleagues here..who are the madams in this faculty..about my love life. One of 'em asked..."eh Iskandar..awak dah kawin ke??"...
..uiii!!.."Blom lagi Dr"..I replied politely. "Eh..awak umur berape??" again she asked me.."25 Dr", replied me..again in such a polite manner. "You look mature laa compared to your age"...I'd take that as a compliment laa. And then another one told that Dr..."Die single lagi tuu"...adduuhhh tu pon nak bagi tau ke...but I dont mind actually...I know that they like to teased me...they just being friendly..I guess. I had to be polite in front of 'em..coz I js really could not get into my self at that kind of situation..its just me..that wouldnt be wrong wouldnt it??and I dont think that they want to know the real me...hehe ...auuuuuuu!!!

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

2004-11-22T11:47:00.000+08:00

It has been more than a week since I last blogged...and right now I have a sea of ideas to write. Obviously right now I will be writing about my Eid celebration...which was not that joyful...compared to others I think.

Couple of nights before hari raya I went to Uptown Damansara with my friends as they wanted to shop(window shopping kot) for their baju raya. The place was so crowded that me and my friends had to search a parking space for about 30 minutes before we get one...and it wasnt a real parking space afterall...lantak lahh!!

There, it was just like PS..or pasar malam perhaps..U can get almost anything for your hari raya..from baju melayu to mercun, kuih raya to jeans (knock-offs only)...sunglasses(knock offs jugak) to books..like what the old man in astro says..Macam-macam ada...

On Hari Raya...js like always..went to Raya Prayer at Masjid UPM. Then minta maaf kat parents and family...then me and my family went to my grandma's house at PJ. That is the place where my family(belah mak) will gather each time hari raya comes...

The night of Hari Raya I went to my best friend kampung, in Kampung Batu Laut,Banting. Me and my 2 members of takde-kampung clan went there by one of my friend's car(sorang ada kampung kat Sg Ramal...sorang memang based kat serdang jaya..so kire mcm takde kampung laa). The journey which should take about 45 minutes was marred by the problem of the car's engine..which ended up for about 2 hours. The temperature of the engine went sky high and the car suddenly stopped at a traffic light junction..right in the middle of Pekan Banting. Just imagine me and my friends dressed in full Baju Melayu, with sampin and songkok...pushing the car to the roadside..on the night of the 1st Hari Raya!!!! Malu siot kereta lalu lalang tengok!!

Without any hesitation, my friend js poured some water and coolant to the engine, but to no effect..the engine still in a very high temperature. Gambled...my friend just drove the car slowly...and finally we had not just reached the destination but got to see this bunch of smoke comin out of the engine as well, right after we arrived. The next morning, we got to know that there was a leaking at one of the hose in the car's engine...no wonder laa isi air n coolant tak jadi ape!!

To ease our tense..my friend the tuan rumah asked us to finish off his collection of mercuns that very night..apa lagi...we rocked my friends kampung as we played our hearts out..especially our favorites..thunder claps and mercun bom(bentuk die macam bola)..we played as if we were in the war movies. Got hurt in the process as my friends blew the mercun just right behind me and the mercun debris hit my back...adusss....mcm kene tembak la pulak....anyway..i consider that as fun and thrilling...hehe..but my friend who threw that mercun near me did get a dozen of sekeh kat kepala die...hehe(dont't do that at home..all stunts are conducted by trained proffesionals..pinjam ayat fear factor)

During the Hari Raya break I went beraya to Ina's, Farid's and Sal's . Thanks to u guys..and semua yg korang kasik aku makan sedappp!!!

Umah Ina:
sedap siot die punye nasi beriani..nasik minyak bile??

Umah Farid:
Aduhh..mee sup..sup tulan mak ko buat memang best..nasi minyak bile??

Umah Sal:
Mee bandung best...spaghetti pon best..puding tu alamak..yummy!!!

Thanks to Sazly, sal and farid coz comin to my house as well.

On my way back from Sal's house yesterday, Farid and me went to Kg Bharu to helped out ET to change her car tyre. Her tyre got some problem as if it is punctured...err..but not by the look of it tho...from what I see laa. Anyway, after some explanation from ET..plus Farid's theory of bubbling tyre, we helped her out.

Removing that plastic cover out of the tyre rim was hell of a job. I told ET that I've once got tergolek ke belakang when I removed that cover from my kancil tyre...and when I was just about to finish the story it happen to me again..and the plastic cover was removed. Then I had to exploit my superpower(which is being heavier than Farid and ET) to unscrew the tyre..which I did successfully!!! Then the changing tyre job went well except that the spare tyre got some tiny thing attached to it..some rubber i dunno!!..careful ET!!..hehe

Sazly will be in the hospital for some time (maybe 2 months he said)starting from today, for his back operation...which will be held on wednesday. Let's pray that he will recover fully soon...amin

Happy Eid

2004-11-06T11:33:00.000+08:00

To all my muslim friends...I just wanna wish 'Selamat Hari Raya' and maaf Zahir dan Batin...

I wanna say sorry...forgive me for all the wrongdoings that I've done to you guys...unintended or intended hehe. Most of u guys will be going balik kampung..On that I just wanna say..please drive carefully..don't rush...be careful with those buses and lorry..jauhkan kereta korang dari bende2 tu k!!...Ingat orang yg tersayang..including me!!

Have a pleasant and cheerful Hari Raya,
King Cantona

yesterday my brother along with his wife, and his 2 children came to my house to 'berbuka puasa' with parents, me and my sister. Glad to meet my nephew and niece...my niece is 9 years old, while his younger brother is 5 years old. Man their are gettin bigger and more witty than ever. I always like to chat and play around with my nephew..Arif Danianl's his name. He's kinda big actually for a 5 year old boy

Before berbuka me and my nephew went to pick my sister at the komuter station. While I was driving, this conversation occured, it was raining at that time..
Arif: "pak su..apsal tak tutop tingkap kereta"
Me: "a-a lah...lupe plak..."..then i closed the window.
Arif: "pak su apsal tutop"
Me: "kene laa tutop.."
Arif : "kalau tak tutop tingkap tak bleh ke"
Me:"kene laa lagipon pak su pasang air cond..nanti tak sejuk..lagipon ujan nanti air masuk"
Arif : "kalau tutop tingkap tapi tak pasang air cond boleh"
Me: "laaa..nanti panas laa"
Arif:"kalau tak tutop tingkap...tak pasang air cond bleh..."
Me:"nanti masuk laa ujan"
Arif:"kalau tutop tingkap..pastu pasang air cond pastu tak ujan macamane"
Me:"laaa..mcm biase je laa"
Arif:"Pak Su...apsal ujan??"

Me:(aduh..bikin pusing kepala ku)

Its a wonderful experience when we explore the minds of a child..its all about being happy and bringing cheer to themselves. Missed those old days though...we don't have to think about problems, payin bills, study even...research..best nye!!!All is done by other people esp our parents.If only i could turn back the time....

****************************

A student who is under my supervision for her final project met me at my room yesterday to present her project. She already told me about her system was not workin properly when he run it on her computer...surprisingly she said she could run it on her friend's notebook, but she could not use her friend's notebook coz her friend is using it(lame excuse??..didnt buy it tho). Then I told her..just show me what u have..workin r not js show it to me. So she came to my room with her PC and show me her project.

Well,nuttin was workin and what she showed me were just mere interface that could only link to another page. My blood started to boil. Then I discussed with OD about givin her extension...which i did. I told her to make it work and show it to me when new semester starts. While she was kemas2 her PC..she kept saying about she could not run her system on her PC..but it works on her fren's...arrgghhh...then the killer question came "Err..Encik Iskandar..PC ngn laptop tu lain ke???"....i just went ..what kind of question is that??..she shouldnt asked that in the 1st place coz she's a final year student!!!...omg..what the hell were u duin in your 4 years here??...but..those question only played in my brain..i js didnt want to blow my top off or even blowin up other people
..sabar..sabar..then..i js coolly said thank you and siapkan sistem awak....

This is what gonna happen to u if u are too consumed with your powerful rage...so bulan pose ni jgn marah2....bersabar

Watch the grudge last nite with lan and ET..thanx lan. Seram gakk...walaupun dah tgk...well it's not that similar with the japanese version tho...it did gimme some jolts here and there during the screening. Lan pon berapa kali terkejut...heheh.

There was this guy in the cinema who really pisses me off, not just me i think. He was like talking in the cinema like he's dad own the cinema..was thinking of throwing my paper cup to him..tapi bulan pose...dozens of people already said shhhhh to this guy..but he was still talkin and talking...and he answered his phone even.no manners watsoever!!...i hope he met the grudge on his way back and bia cekik die sampai pengsan...

Had some goosebumps on my way back home..i didnt drive tho..ride my bike. Its kinda scary especially when I got near the kubor cina. I know its ramadhan and some say all the setan have been tied up..but i think it just for the devils isn' it..others who affiliate with 'em still free..I think so la.

I got that whole idea after I met a friend of mine last weekend.It has been a long time since I last met him. He got so much to tell me and the topics covered from women to sports and even ghost. Talkin about ghost or spirit, he told me that he got an aunt who he said always got posessed with some spirit and that spirit is said to be her guardian. She inherited that spirit from her grandmother. He went balik kampung (her grands house) last couple of week and his 'always got possesed' aunt was also there. That one night at his kampung..my friend said that he could not sleep..he felt restless that he chat with his cousin who could not sleep just like him...his aunt was sleeping in another room. While chattin..all of the sudden he and his cousin heard her aunt went mengilai..he said it happened for about 5 minutes..and that happened during this ramadan ramadan..oooooh!!..my bulu tengkok just went straight..i could feel it even now...

Reality Bites

2004-11-02T09:30:00.000+08:00

What would you do, if a person(someone who is very close to you) keep breaking his/her promise and still givin u the same promise....Should slap him/her right heheh...no lahh...what I've done was keepin my mouth shut when I'm with him/her. It is somewhat annoying of him/her with that innocent face keep tellin me sorry whenever the same mistake is repeated, and on the next day the same person would commit the same thing again after tellin that he/she wont do it again...It did get into my nerves but I'm not the type who like to bising2 or directlty scold other people, I just keepin my mouth shut..and that is my way to express some protest towards that person..except that most of the time..it didnt work...he/she was acting like nuttin happened!!!....so I was just keepin my mouth shut without any effect...damn!!!

****************************

I watched White Chicks last night..alone as usual...man it was funny!!!I kinda like those 'dirty jokes' hehhe...I always does. I did laugh like hell watchin the movie, especially when the Wayan brothers were makin fun of their nemesis' mom, when one of 'em(the Wayans) sayin about the spoilt sisters mom havin breast milk in a form of milk powder. Well I think actually they are kinda spoofin the Hilton sisters isn it...u know Paris and the other one I can't remember her name...heiress to the Hilton hotels 'towkey'....but in the end the movie just went flat..especially the ending was kinda unpredictable...overall....it did stand as a comedy movie.

***************************

Have you ever thought.....for every behavior that you have, originated from whom??your mom or your dad....How much that u inherited from you parents...more from your mom...or your dad??...Well for me I got it balance hehe...no more no less from either side. One thing that I can share with u guys is my friendliness...heheh..I think i am friendly laa..and I got it from my dad..he's friendly and that's true...he's even friendlier than me in fact. But...are there any behaviors that aint from our parents??..where does it come from then??...a role in television series??....a pop star maybe....or from any fantasy world that we always dreamed for(and that might come from tele laa kan heheh)?...gotta have reality check for that. Some of us might follow this one series in television or a movie...and we like this actor or this role in that movie so much...that we adore and we wanted to be like that role or actor. Masa kecik2 dulu ada laa kan..sekarang ni tadek kot...

Yesterday was the most unproductive day of me being in the office. Plus, I finally broke my policy of not wasting my time elsewhere during office hour by playin bowling today. Finally got beaten by others especially by those gurls and I deserved it. Padan muka...sape suro ponteng!!...by the way..good game gurls!!

Bowling wise, I've played the worst game of my life. Tried to play the hook but didnt work and ended up playing straight ball. I remember the days when I was so fanatical about bowling and played almost everyday at South City. I just got back from Melbourne at that time and I spent almost every night at the bowling center. Played my best games at that time hahaha...well..thats history. Mas told me that I couldnt play well if she's around...well I think you're right..heheh..no lah..memang my day off laa tadi..ape pon tak jadi.

Back to the policy thingy...have you ever break your own rules??....If yes...how do you feel about it. Well in my case, I felt miserable about it...a bit mad..and angry towards myself. Except that I couldn't do a thing to myself and just being unspoken for some time while typing this entry for my blog. Maybe its not a big deal tho..i dunno..just feelin bad about myself.

Prior to the bowling thing, I went to Hosplital Putrajaya with others to visit Dr Hajah Fatimah. She's gonna have operation for her tyroid tommorow. Surprisingly, she seems cool about it and was in high spirits as there were a dozens of faculty's staff who are visiting her as well. Never been to an operation before though...I'm wondering wat's the feelin right before goint the operation theatre...mesti kecut perot kan..

Never been operate in my life...even stitches..nearly got stitched though....happened years ago..where I almost got stitched in between my forehead and my eye because of head to head collision with another player while playin soccer. I was trying to head the ball but didn't see the other player who tried to head the ball as well...as he was comin from my blind side. A big thud occurred and I just realised myself still alive when I was already lying on the ground. Suddenly a friend of mine shouted, "oi darah!..darah!!"....blood just pouring down like waterfall from my head resulting my white jersey turned into red. I went to the clinic..and the doctor said straight way that I could've had stitches. Finally after some detailed examination of my forehead..he said, "nasib baik tak dalam..kalau dalam sikit lagi, memang kene jahit". I just went..phew.After the incident...my left eye turned 'lebam' for the the rest of week.

original ju on hollywood version

ET showed me a trailer of The Grudge...liked it very much..thinking of watchin it...eventho I already watched the japanese version. Just like The Ring, this movie i think will be somewhat a copycat of the original version. Unlike The Ring, The Grudge still boast the same director and (even the same japanese ghost boy)for the movie, plus Sarah Michelle Gellar and Bill Pullman. I remember when I was watchin the original version....I was watchin alone at the livin room. It did scare the s*** out of me..especially the scene when the ghost suddenly appear under the blanket alongside a women.... berdiri gak bulu tengkuk aku ni...but still nak tengok gakk..so bring all your family to watch this movie...hehe...

Jom aa farid..tengok...

Lost in Space

2004-10-27T10:22:00.000+08:00

Feelin a bit sleepy and weary for the whole workin hours today..i js dunno why. I think maybe I haven't recover from the invigilating disease(sleepy, exhausted of waiting and waiting during the exam), originated from the IPTS. I haven't been that bored for such a long period of time....in my life actually!!..A week of virtually doing nuttin during the day...arrgghhh...!!!.

Pleased myself a bit today as I finished all the claiming thingy with Kak Bahyah. Some said the claim could take months to be approved. What the heck..as long as I get the cheque...I think I would be alright about that.

Watched the movie berlari ke langit last night but I could only watched the first cd...the story was too slow...except that it has excelent cinematography...beautiful shots...so smooth along the way. They make full use of the beautiful scenery of the beaches..I think it was in Terengganu. In terms of shots and images...this movie is a winner..even so.....I couldn't cope with the pace of the movie...too freakin slow...plus, it involved that jiwang2 thing...duhh!! Just gave the cd to ET(ko pon tengok citer camni ke?? hehehe) to watch it then...I was so bored that I didnt bother to watch the second CD.

******************************************

Went thru some journals that I've downloaded from the Internet...that I thot could give me some ideas on the Phd thing...and suddenly I'm lost..just got nowhere to go...didnt know what to do and what to think even..so I just turned to this blog to write something.

******************************************

I met kak salmi in the morning when I was just arrived at the faculty. She suddenly asked, "Mak tak niaga kat pasar ramadhan ke?". "Errm...tak niaga tahun ni", I replied. "Nape??", she looked curious. "Oooo..mak tak berapa sihat", answered me with a solemn face. "haritu sebelum puasa pon mak tak niaga gerai kan..",she became even more curious, bout my mom I think.Then I told her, "errr...mak tak sihat..die asyik demam2 je..pastu kaki die sakit" with an explanation that didn't explain everything actually. "Sekarang mak buat kuih raya je kat umah", I added. Kak Sal knew my mom for such a long time, she's also kinda a regular customer at my mom's gerai.

*******************************************

On the other day there was this one staff who out of nowhere entered my bilik tutor. I was at the printer, and then he was like sniffing in this room. "What the hell is he doin??", I said to myself. Suddenly he said..."hmmm...eternity!", with yoda like expression after some thinking. I was kinda stunned....he has the abilty to determine the brand of perfume that I wore!!. He must have this range of perfume brand database along with its smell up in his nose and brains. I asked him how could he distinguish the perfume...and then..."Alaaa..aku tau laa..ikot bau je aku tau laa minyak wangi ape" proudly and kinda egotistically he said. Menyampah heheh...

******************************************

It is the 13th day of Ramadhan today and I was still thinking that we just started the holy month. I didnt think about hari raya too. But hey..I'll be celebrating raya here at home this comin raya...can't wait to celebrate then, but at the same time, I'm feelin very sad as the end of Ramadhan is drawing near..... To all my muslim friends, have a pleasant mid-Ramadhan and to non-muslim..don't eat or drink in front of us heheeh!!

Glad that I've already finished the IPTS thing...all had been sort out. Thanks to Lan coz he helped me carry those exam papers to the PPL and to Kak Bahyah downstairs. To tell you the thruth...it has been a very dull week for me...nuttin much to do during invigilating the exam.

I watched a Korean war movie 'TaekGugi' in video cd..(I always pronounced it as Taik Gigi). From an asian movie perspective, it was a brilliant war movie (way too advanced than Leftenan Adnan). The battle scene between North and South Korean soldiers were so explicit...we can see people got teared apart after being blown up....severed limbs...all those gory and bloody scene...js like in Saving Private Ryan. My friend told me that the movie is the most expensive movie ever made in Korea...no wonder thay can depict the battle in such a detailed manner. Well basically the movie tells about the relationship between 2 brothers...both were soldiers but the elder kinda being overprotected towards his younger brother.

There were couples of sad moments too, especially when it showed their loved ones died during the war huhuhu... (cannot tell u la sape..nanti tak thrill...)...I recommend u guys to watch this movie. But errr...bile mesia nak buat movie mcm ni haa?..local so called war movie yg bebaru ni tak berape laa...

Heard that Puteri Gunung Ledang is nominated in the last 50 movies for Academy awards. Wow!!...hope that it will advance to the final 5 nomination...man..if only the movie could be nominated in the finals...wow...sure bangga laah. Actually I'm very into movies...tak kesah laa movie melayu ke mat saleh ke... That's why la ET..u always seems surprised when I said about actors, actresses or movies that u think I didnt know or watch...I am a movie bufflah..thats what I am (kembang idong...hins hins).

Actually I got some friends who are reluctant to watch Malay movies. I also got some friends who like it very much. The justification for us to watch malay movie(apart from the quality) is "sape lagi nak tengok filem kite kalau bukan kite.". In terms of patriotism, that is correct, but people dont want to pay 9 to 10 bucks just to watch some crap isn' it? I'm not against Malay movie..in fact I do watch Malay movies. Maybe its time for Malay movie go the next level just like PGL. Not everyone can match the cost of making film like what PGL had...well its actually the idea of the movie and how they put it in the celluloid that matters. Just look at Thai horor movie, Nang nak...i dont think that kind of movie cost millions to make it wouldn it??

I remember this one Malay movie that I highly rated which is called 'Rahsia'. It was a horror movie and it does scared the shit out of me..dulu laa, and the most important thing is its originality. I dont like romantic movies though..u know...movies like Cinta Kolesterol la..Cinta Kuliah laa...Hollywood romantic movies even (Bollywood ape tah lagi), maybe I just dont click with romantic movies (but that doesnt mean that I'm not romantic heheh...err yeke??)... only into action, horror...comedy and family..hehe.

Actually I bought 'berlari ke langit' video cd along with 'taekgugi'. BKL has won an award on best cinematography at the recent Asia Pacific Film Festival in Japan. Planning to watch it tonight...hope that it wont dissapoint me.

Still got 2 days left to invigilate the IPTS exams. Didnt do anything when I'm invigilating the exams, except wandering around the exam room, lookin for some good lookin girls...then had a chat with 'em...after the exam laa..hehe.

Nuttin much to write though, except that I am now eager to watch THE match of the season...Man Utd vs Arsenal. The match is on Sunday 11pm, and it'll be shown live on ESPN...have to make sure that I booked the TV set before my sister heheh (she too will watch it anyway).

I asked Dlyn bout the match and she told me that she knew bout the match(she likes Micheal Owen), but that's just it. In this one exam, there was this lecturer from that college and he showed me a pic of Man U in the newspaper that I brought into the exam room. "Sape akan menang?" he asked. "Entah lahh...tapi kalau Man U jumpe Arsenal selalu die kuat", I replied while trying to hide the fact that I'm on Man U side. "Sokong Man U ka??", he asked again with a bit of Kedah slang. "Yupp", I said, and glad that he too is a red Devil Fan. From then on we talked about football...tactics, players and what not.

Well, suddenly came into my mind...how actually women got attracted to football. I know that there are women who played it, but all the famous and popular players and competition are all about men's football. So in which part of football actually that attracted women to be the sport's fan??Its like when I chat with my friends..guys yg minat bola...we can discuss about tactics, about players...we could discuss about it since we all play football..and I think guys like me and my friends at least have the reason to be a fan of football...so how women go about this??Do they like football because of the players...I know that most of them are good lookin( all the mat salehs player laa...yg local pon ade laa kot tapi tak banyak)..especially players from Spain..Portugal.

Men do like sports that played by women, but that sports is also played mostly by man as well..like voleyball...bowling..badminton. Actually football still need women fans...so that when there is an opportunity to score by the opponent, and the girls will go aaaaaaHH!!!...especially when we bring 'em to the stadium. So the environment will be much more thrilling and spine chillin I should say..hehe. It's not an offence for women to be a fan of football..I just wondering why did they like about football...thats all.

Actually I didnt have any descent idea to post into my blog so I just wrote bout this. To all my friends who finished invigilating...take care and drive carefully.

Purple Rain

2004-10-20T17:53:00.000+08:00

Today is the 4th day of me, in charge as a ketua pengawas peperiksaan at Cybernetics(cyber whut?) College at Maluri, Cheras. Ketua??..Not much of a ketua though...seems like I'm handling all the things down here during the exam, but heyy..actually I didnt expect to be such a ketua..I already knew that I would only become 'orang biasa' here. Luckily I had Dlyn with me, bole gakk sakat2 as usual. Except that during this Ramadhan my degree of menyakat was not as high as in the other months (why haa???...anyone tell me??..is it got to do wit setan kene ikat during ramadhan??..hehe). I expected this Ramadan to be a 'hot' one..in terms of weather lah. Luckily theres a few rains pouring down in the city during this couple of days and made the day alot cooler.

Got to know this guy, Abg Mus as he is called, he was such a nice guy. The coolest figure at the college (compared to the others) and it was nice hangin with him. He was actually the only one from the pioneer batch of lecturers that 'survived' up until now. Others might had gone to other places and some of them are working here in FSKTM.

Gettin to the college by Fakulti's big white van, drove by Abg Pian. I always sat in front along with Abg Pian...gayat siot, because the van got this huge glass panel in front and the view was handful to watch compared when I was driving my Kancil (wugu as Kak Ghe call it). Since the van was quite high, so it was like, the driver wouldnt have any problem in manouvering it, everything is visible..crystal clear. Abg Pian also fetched us up from the college at the afternoon and drove us back to the faculty. Always chat with Abg Pian during the ride...such a nice and funny lad...always threw jokes when I least expected him to do.

One thing that I like best now is, after 2 year hiatus, I'm back for terawih prayer here in my hometown Serdang. Since I wasn't here for a couple of Raya, now its like all the memory of Ramadhan are comin back to me. I went to Pasar Ramadan at Sri Serdang yesterday, and I was like...hey this used to be my spot where me and my family jual2!! not this time though...my mom said tak larat laa..tahun ni buat kuih je.

Before I went to further my study, i always buka puasa with my family...not at home..but at that Pasar Ramadhan. During the Ramadhan after finishing the lecture(still studying at UNITEN at that time), I'd rush to the Pasar Ramadan..and help my mom and dad at the stall. Just before the azan got started, there would be some of the penjual who'd gave some foods and drinks for free. The Pasar Ramadan are always crowded, especially in the early until the mid of Ramadhan as UPM students would still be around before the holiday break. Except when its raining, business wont be that good, only a few would be comin to the Pasar Ramadan.

Just collected my C++ paper to be marked. So I have to be in the faculty at night after terawih prayer. To all of you who are 'out station' for the IPTS...take care and buat amal jariah banyak2.

Wishing Stairs

2004-10-15T16:07:00.000+08:00

It was the first day of Ramadhan, kinda tired today since the workload for today is somewhat too much too handle. I had to finish all my task today since I won't be in the office from 17th till 25th Oct..jaga IPTS.

In the morning, I had to get all the papers from pejabat kewangan and put it in my room..which I had about 31 envelopes of exam papers altogether. 3 times climbing up and down the stairs in the early morning while lifting all the papers..pheww. Finished uploading my room with all the papers at around 10 am. Then went to see kak Bahyah (again) to get Puan Zaiton stamp since I changed program with Dlyn (kene belanja McD ni..) for the IPTS exams thingy.

After that, me, Lan and Dlyn went to the Fakulti Ekonomi to get exam papers which are handled by other faculty. My tiredness of lifting all the papers before this seems to evaporated as all of the sudden there's this one girl who happens to be the staff of that faculty, helping us to find the exam papers at their UPL. I think she's cute heheh...just couldnt get off my eyes from her cute face...like her smile..errrr tiba2 je..dalam otak ni..weii..bulan pose mana boleh tengok lebih2
....

Got back from the Fakulti Ekonomi at around 11 am...just moment after I arrived in my room..Kak Ghee(bukan minyak sapi) got a call and she told me that HOD wanted to see me. Rushed downstairs to his room...he asked me to get the list of software and hardware in the labs that are used by the Sc Comp Department. My watch was showing 12 pm at that moment...hmm..lepas Friday prayer laa buat.

After the Friday prayer...(which I nearly missed..coz I slept at home...hehe), went to see Kak Lily to show the report of my Java students' marks and grades. She said its okay and had to submit it to Dr nasir. After submittin the report to Dr nasir, I went to see Itabela and Kak zan to get that list of s/ware and h/ware that Dr nasir asked for. Wow....I think I 'm gonna blow my heart off...bloody tired...plus there was this scorching heat..arrrgghh...bloody hot!!!

Feelin a bit tak puas hati yesterday heheh...even until today...because Dlyn and Kak Ghee said I was 'terlalu kontrol' when I was being an emcee at the seminar couple of days ago. They said that I was 'different' when I was in front of the audience...too serious they told me. I couldnt stand the word kontrol actually...coz I'm afraid they would think that I purposedly did that...but actually I thot i was natural habis dah...maybe laa org tengok kite lain...but I think..in being an emcee, we should be polite and serious kan...takkan nak hoha hoha mcm dalam bilik hehehe...plus..big boss was there in the seminar..my nervous richter scale almost reached record high at that moment.

Thank you for all the comments...needed that actually...to MrM..about the ayah thing..takde pape laa..main2 je..how's yur bahu...OK ke?..keep commenting ya!!EON...I still can't forget the jokes that u threw during the volleyball match at MIMOS...the one that u and alfian mentioned some names remember???Hehe..

Others will be busy jaga IPTS..including me..wishing u guys..all the best in invigilating your IPTS exams..happy invigilating...jaga diri baik2..(yg jauh2 tu jgn lupe bawak souvenir ok)..gotta go now...Telly Ho!

Stir of Echoes

2004-10-14T18:34:00.000+08:00

Glad that I've managed to finish up marking my Java papers last night, and put up all the marks into the SMP. Prior to that, I accompanied Farid and ET to a restaurant at SS for dinner...farid ended up eating burger at Padang. He really pissed off with the restauran coz they were very slow preparing his dinner. Unlike farid, ET got his meal on time..almost.....

Hate that SMP....very tedious kind of system to use, and I think chances that the user will make mistake are very high since the user have to key in all the marks for each student into the system manually.

Actually I went to the faculty at 8.30 pm, rushed to that restaurant with farid and ET, but because of the 'slowness' of the restaurant, I just started entering the marks into the system at 10pm ...and finished it up at almost midnight. Had a very short crash course using SMP with Kak Lily in the afternoon...but still faced some problems when I was using it...had to SOS ET for that. Thanks for your help...err..not so much help though..except that u have to come here back and forth 3 times...heheh

Attended a taklimat for the IPTS thingy at noon. Since this is my 1st time in charge on IPTS exams, I had to listen carefully on what they are discussing, especially those words from Pn Zaiton and En Arif. Actually I was a bit nervous when I got to know all the things that I have to do when I'm in charge in the IPTS exam. So much to do...and every little thing that Pn Zaiton and En Arif announced should not be treated lightly. In contrast, others were jokin and makin fun during the taklimat......diorang dah biasa perkara2 begini...aku je yg gabra...We were treated with nasi briyani after the taklimat...wow..it has been such a long time since I had those kind of food...after the meal..was still feelin hungry though..nak tambah seganlahh

In the afternoon, I went to the DKAP, to invigilate an exam. The subject is taught by Pn Norwati and she's the ketua invigilator. I was kinda late actually...when I arrived, all the students were already started answering their paper. There were familiar faces in that exam halls, since there were the same students who are either under my supervision for final project or my java students. There supposed to be another guy who should invigilate this exam together with me and Pn Norwati. Maybe he wont come......

Then that guy came...laa..it was Wa'ang. I actually knew him since I was a kid. He's a friend of my dad when my dad was workin here in UPM. I remembered that he always cakap slang negeri sembilan. Anyway, when I started to work here, I never said anythin bout knowing him or bout may dad to him until today..segan laa. After the exam ended, he seems trying to chat with me and asked me where do I live. I said..."kat sini je". "Oooo..orang selangor laa..kat mane??", he replied. "Serdang je..sri serdang..", I replied.

Then the question popped up,"Dulu ayah keje sini ke??", he asked. "A-a...kat bendahari", I answered. "Sape nama...", he asked, and I have to reveal then..."Orang panggil ayah saya abang sahak..abang kenal ke??", which I actually knew what he gonna answer. "Laaaa..tu best friend abang tu...masa keje dulu slalu minum ngan die..gelak2 sama2...mak ko pon sama..dulu upm slalu tempah mee laa minum po somuo tu kan..mak ko la yg buek tuu..sumo aku makan" he replied with a bit of negri accent followed by a smile.

Actually I've got some more people here in UPM that I knew since my childhood as they are still workin here up until now. Malas laah nak reveal..takkan mendadak nak terus bagitau..hey saya anak abg sahak laa kenal takk??...malu la kan?

Feelin very tired in the afternoon...played some table tennis though. I quit playin at around 6.40pm as I couldnt even hittin the ball properly. Gotta get back home now,since I'm gonna follow farid and Farid's and maybe ET to the mines. Farid's reminder is echoing in my brain right now, " Ko jangan lambat plak..kol 8 tau!!"...Ciao!

Conspiracy Theory

2004-10-12T15:52:00.000+08:00

Another hellish day for me....got this spoilt student who thinks she's the 'darling' of her faculty(from other faculty though). Actually she's the daughter of the dean of the faculty that she's studyin in. She's taking an IT subject from this faculty.

2.00 pm :
Met the big boss at the stairs and interviewed me on the spot about the exam questions on a subject that I've compiled. The exam ended yesterday. He was asking how did I make that question and I said I didnt made it, I just compiled it. Those questions were made by the part-timers. I told him what had happen truthfully...as I held to the words, 'berani kerana benar'....hope that helps laah...although it wont be helpin at some occasions..

My big boss actually got a student's complaint and it was about she could not answer most of the questions in the final exam which was made by this faculty. That subject' coordinator happened to be me!!!...

2.10 pm:

Met the HOD,and he told me that, the student(the daughter of the dean of a faculty) could not answer the exam bcoz her lecturer(part-timers) did not cover all the chapters in that subjects and this would jeopardise her chance to maintain CGPA 4.0. When I heard that...I just when...what!!!!...what the hell is happenin here!!!(dalam hati laa)..Just because the student is the daughter of a faculty of a faculty...that doesn't mean the student can get what ever she wants!??? What if it happens to a son of peneroka felda or pekebun getah..or ordinary people like me...would the complain be entertained???..I bet it won't.

I'm not blaming others as I also trying to find my mistake out of this mess. Maybe I was being careless in compiling the exam paper...i dunno. When I was being asked bout whether I showed the exam questions to the part-timers after I finished compiling it, I said no as I submitted it to the penilai soalan as according to the procedure.

Then there was this dialogue between 2 'big' people of the department on the phone(it happened in front of me...but othe receiver of the call didnt realise I was there), and the receiver said.."Saya rasa Iskandar ada ubah la soalan tu...aritu saya tengok lain". Swear to god, I never changed any of those questions, I just corrected some words and numbering on the exam paper thats all. Someone is makin me a scapegoat down here!!!!!!

5.30 pm

Got a call from a women, who happens to be the part-time lecturer of that student. She told me that, before the exam starts, the student emailed her. The students told the lecturer in the email, that she's worried about her carry marks was not up to her marks, as she deserve higher marks than what she got now. The lecturer seems very angry towards her student, and feelin dissapointed on what had happen as she got the blame for this situation. The lecturer also told me that she alredy covered all topics in the syllabus and even organised kelas tambahan!!!The lecturer then forwarded the email that she got from the student to me.

In the email, the student said that she deserved gettin higher marks because she had done marvelously on all the assignments and labs(Duhhh!!!...she's not qualified to have said that) She also cited that she had won award of best student of the faculty and another award of best 1st year student in this uni(so what!!!) She also stated that she's a 4 flat student and if she did not score that subject, that wont help her in maintaining her 4.0 CGPA.(who cares!!) This would also worryin her mom too. (cant be bothered!!)

Got another email from this student(forwarded by the lecturer as well) tellin that she said sorry to the lecturer. She also said that she actually had asked her mom(the dean of her faculty) not to tell bout this whole thing to my big boss. However she said, her mom broke that promised and told my big boss about the whole situation. (conspiracy maybe??)

After that only all this thing started, which also pulled me into the situation. I was afraid that I would be the target of all this mess since I'm the one who compiled the questions. Nevertheless, the part-time lecturer did tell me that those questions actually did cover everything that is in the syllabus.

This situation really pisses me off....how could a so called academician(a dean even) using her power so that her daughter will get excellence results???. She's actually using her power to fulfill her own (and her family) needs. From then on I started to think...maybe she always got to maintain her CGPA pasal lecturer kat fakulti tu nak mengampu mak die...err.. I think thats a bad accusation...wasn it??But when it comes to subjects from different faculty..there she goes...she's not that brilliant after all...I dunno laa..actually tengah tensen ni...

Moral of the story:
My friends..if u guys are in such powerful status..for what ever reason...please...dont misused it...and dont use it to hurt other people feelin or even physically...remember..what goes around comes around...if not in this life...in the afterlife...who knows..

Freaky Monday

2004-10-11T17:04:00.000+08:00

5.45 pm:

It was a freakin tiring day for me today. I was in charge as an invigilator for an exam in the morning at the DKAP, and then rushed to DB for another exam. I wasnt an invigilator at the DB but, I was the one who compiled (compiled ??) the final exam for this one subject. The subject actually got no full-time lecturer attached to it, only part-timers, I am the penyelaras, and had to co-ordinate everything related to the subject as well as the final exam.

All the questions that I've compiled into the final exams were contributed by all the part-timers. . It is understood that there is no official order or command, from the HOD or what not to asked them to come to the exams. Even so, they should've come to the final exams to see how the things goin during the exams, but just a couple of 'em came. But did they(absent part-timers) ever think that one of the students could have asked questions during the exams...who should answered it?? I bet the invigilators won't be able to answer those questions related to the exam sincez they are the not the ones who taught 'em. So, I was there to adhere to any questions asked by the studens..like I'm the one who taught 'em all along the semester....

After the exam ended, while I was counting the OMR paper, then there was this voice..."Errr..encik Iskandar...hantar OMR ke BTM petang ni jugak tau...nanti bole dapat cepat markah". Hello!!!...I'm tryin my best here!!!...Like I have the speed of speeding bullets...even Clark Kent could slap that person if he's in my shoes. I stayed in the DB until all the exams paper is counted, and matched with the count of attendance slips...with just a couple of invigilators from...possibly 6.

"Kalau ada bayar baru laa buat soalan final exam"...for me that shouldn't be said by people that are called academician (refering to the part-timers)..At some point sincerity is needed ..I think so laa. I dunno laa..maybe sekarang dah lain, orang kejar duit sahaja..or am I wrong...I was so tired at this point. My mind is screwed up altogether...

11.36 pm:

Went to TGV to catch 'Bourne Supremacy' with farid, et and lan. Was helluva spy movie...much much better than those Bond movies. Matt Damon was so cool as Jason Bourne..so cunning (we will get to know his true name by the end of the movie) One thing I like the most was the car crashes...bloody real!!!

Before going to the cinema...a very sad thing happened....my mobile got drowned in air tebu :-(...such a long story by the way.........ET and farid...rilex..its not your fault..bende dah nak jadi..but..if only I could turn back time!!!!..When will we be having car just like Delorean in the Back to the Future huh!!!...might be handy in situation like this...

Think Tank

2004-10-08T18:22:00.000+08:00

It has been 3 days since I last blogged. Did a lot of thinkin during those period, but got nuttin interesting to write in this blog though. Did I mention that I did alotta thinking just now??..really??..omigosh...kinda surprise actually that I did say myself doin some thinking..me..thinking???

On the thinking part....well, I would say yes and no actually. Yes in the matter of thinking on what should I do for my Phd. No is when I found this one website for downloading mp3...after that...dozens of song just cruisin into my hard disk..without thinking just downloading and listen during the office hours.

Wait..me!!..taking Phd???...This kinda question also popped in my mind when I was still deciding on pursuing my Masters couple of years ago. I never thought that I would continue to further my study. I thought that degree was enough for me and doing further study is not my main aim. I also thought that I've had enough of study...enough konon....

Alhamdulillah...I finished my masters and again, at that time, I said to myself....masters is enough for me and had enough study...had to find job..need money!!!. Come the tutor job opportunity....was told that I had to further study to continue workin here. Actually alotta my friend did encourage me to take the post here in UPM and continue my study. "You're still young...continue laah...bagus tuu", one of them encouraged me. Surprisingly it didnt impressed me yet..at that time laa. When my parents entered the list of people who encouraged me, things changed

Maybe they have their way to pujuk me to take the tutor job when actually I was still wanting to enter the IT industry. Never that I wanted to despise my parents, but I wanted something fresh and challenging to do in my working career. However when I listened and do what they've adviced to do, eventhough it was hard, good things did happen to me. They gave us advice without wanting any rewards from me.......they just wanted me(and all of their children) to be successful (sebak....)

My dad told me...when he was just finished his secondary....he could not further his study to a college because his family couldnt afford it. He got some chinese friends who managed to further their study coz all of 'em are rich. So when he told me that right now is the time that I shouldnt miss the opportunity...after he said that...I was kinda numb...my lips were sealed..and seem that I could not refuse it. They never paksa but the reason that they gave me to listen to their advice is the one that I dont have any logical answer to go against it.

Sometimes we need that special person or situation to makes us realize, that we are actually capable of duin things...things that we initially thought can be done only by people that are 'tere'. The problem with me sometimes is I looked myself down, I always assumed other people are better than me...just by lookin at their 'gaya' or style.

Nevertheless, I still feel like I am dreaming coz I never thought to go this far....still gotta lot of things to do though...'perjuangan masih belum selesai'

Victoria's secret

2004-10-05T16:56:00.000+08:00

Feelin gulty today as I might have mistakenly revealed a friend's secret to other people ...me and my big mouth!! I didn't mean to do that actually, and I'm sorry for that. Even though it's not a very big thing for me, secret is meant to be kept as a secret, and I shouldnt've done that. It does not mean that I'm not good in keepin secret, trust me, other secrets (especially those that have very high stake) are safe at my vault.

We as human beings are bound to have secrets. Its because we wouldn't want others to know our true identity or true colors or even our dark past that could tarnish our image or perceptions among friends or relatives. Some secret are kept within ourselves and some by our friends so that our family wont know about it and vice versa. Secrets that is unkept, could result anger, hatred or even killin to some certain extent.

I also have some secrets that I just kept it to myself and secrets that are kept by peoples around me. It's not that I really wanted to have secrets, but its just a mechanism in not lettin other people to know who exactly am I(macam superhero plak...). Actually, I wish not to have secrets among friends (close friends I mean) but like a say in Malay 'rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain'. Its not about some friend would tease u or what not, but every person got his/or her own perspective and opinion, and some opinions might not pleased us.

One situation that is very connected to me in terms of keeping secret currently is...havin split personality. Currently,there are more than enough medium for us to practice split-identity, be it on the mirc, ym, skype...or even in the blog. Some might just bravely being themselves as they sticked true to their own identity, while others might wanna have more than one identity just because they don't want others to look them differently based on what they would say in those medium. The latter could produce secret-keepin situation as its own identity might have kept by the owner itself or might even be kept by his/her friend as well.

Person who is keepin his/her friend's secret should be careful in what they say, and to whom they say bout anything. This secret-keepers might have to lie to their relatives or friends in order to not to reveal the secret. Interesting enough, there are people who wants to know about someones secret, by acting as a secret keeper even though they actually dont know any thing about it.

So...to the person that I 've mistakenly broke his/her secret...I'm really sorry..seriously..feelin bad...really-really bad bout that :(

Mix 'n' Match

2004-10-04T16:00:00.000+08:00

Feelin dissapointed last nite because of Man Utd's EPL result. Man utd just drew 1-1 with Boro despite seas of opportunities that they have and squandered. They should've won the match, and one player that I salutes for the whole 90 minutes was Christiano Ronaldo. His twist and turns, as well as his unbelievable pace, made the Boro defenders worked overtime. Credit to the Boro youngsters though as they cooly absorbed the pressure and jeers from Man Utd fan at the Theater of Dreams, and secured a valuable point for 'em.

Enough with football.....nuttin much for today since there is no lecture as the final exam starts today. Got dozens of students came knockin on my door in the morning, asking me questions on the finals, carry marks and even taking their quizzes. Got teased by my office mates, because I 'layan' couple of my students whos stayed at my room for some time. To clarify this....actually those student were takin her quiz, and they did asked me questions about quiz and final exams, and obviously I had to explain to her on that right??Nuttin more than that...Hey...I'm a professional heheh( with a big grin on my face).

Got an advised from a colleague, not to be 'too close' to another friend as that friend just broke up with her boy friend. Well my dear friend-who-advice-me...(I'm not angry at u though...seriously...and..I'm sure you're readin this hehe)...never in my mind that I wanted to 'main2' a women or a girl. That's just not me and I never had special interest on her, just being a friend in fact, nothin more nothin less.I think it's okay in just being a friend with her right?? But the fact that my friend (who advised me) told me about women or girls are fragile right after they broke up with their man is right I presume. In so many cases throughout my life, some of my girl friends (kawan perempuan) just 'simply' accepted or attracted to some guy(who she didn't like previously) to be her boyfriend, right after they broke up with their old boy friend.

I'm not sayin that women are that 'itchy' to have guys beside 'em one after another, but what I'm tryin to say is, some women who were just break up, are very fragile (emotionally...based on my observation la). They keen to have someone who could replace his old flame instantly ,thus, could easily attracted to his friend or someone who is close to him (i mean a guy friend laa). Sometimes, this kind of girl might think that a guy, is attracted to her, even though the guy was just being kind to her(happened to me....teheheheh) . This situation do occurs to men too, so basically, its all the same(but errr... guy who just broke up and then attracted to me never happen la heheh).

Problems would occur when the guy(who layan die baik2) started to realise bout the gurl's (who just broke up but needs special attention) behavior towards him. The guy could be reluctant to ask the gurl the statur of their relationship coz he might be accused by the girl of being 'perasan'...and the same might goes with the gurl even...

So, what I could get from all this is, If I was to be too close to a girl who just broke up , I would've gave her 'harapan'.....or am I wrong? (girls out there please comment on this..or guy even??). Actually I'd never thought of givin people hope especially to a friend, as I was just being kind and that's it. Even so, I'm not intimidated or feel offenced by the advise, but rather I found that, women's feelin are very complex for a man to understand as a whole. So many women that I've encountered, none of 'em had made decisions or action without mixing with their feelin. In some occansion it won't be a frailty though, while men without mixin feelin in their decisions or actions, at times, are just like robots or no 'hati perot'. That is why both men and women are complements to each other.

On the other day, there was a student, and she's one of my C++ students and told me, 'Lelaki tere (handal) programing sebab lelaki byk fikir lojik tak mcm pompuan!!' . If that so, why there are so many women lecturers here in the faculty then, I told her. She just replied, women are just like that, always put too much emotion on things, on simple things even (tahapehape ntah jawapan die).

We are all but not perfect, and its not wrong tryin to be perfect in what we do. Mind us, sometimes we should put aside our emotion in order to give the best, out of ourselves, and sometimes we dont have to. When or where, that's something that we should give ourselves a thinking to do.

Feelin tired already, but still wants to play table tennis afterwards. Chiow..

That 70's Show

2004-10-01T17:09:00.000+08:00

Today is the last day for me to do my lecture and starting from next week , it will be the final exams. I remember those days when I was preparing for my finals during my degree...full of stress, tension and ambiguity!!!...Some lectures do give tips on what could possibly be in the finals, but some didn't. It means that I had to cover all the topics that sometimes I didn't read or even look at the notes except when I took it out from the printer, and that was it. It was a total nightmare when I had to race myself to cover those subjects without any tips given, plus other subjects. Actually its all come back to me....I should've studied right after each topic is finished and I should manage my time better that what I had at that time. However, I've got it all through, Alhamdulillah....

I went to the 'public lecture' at the admin building, and only one word that I can describe it....YAWNNNNN!!!!! One thing that I found shocking was about how the speaker gave his speech. I dunno maybe its a new way of giving speech but. In between his speech, there were two videos shown and was running about 20 minutes each. Actually the speech was about UPM should go back to where it belongs, which means,go back to its prime motive long-long ago when it was first established...which was to focus more on agricultural research than other things. The first video was about poverty in Kedah...and the other one showed the advanced agricultural technology center in Korea.

The first video showed that, we still got poverty in the rural area and the way of agriculture at that place,are much to be desired. Except that the video shown in his speech was, I think happened in the 70's!!!??? So what's the point then, I mean, that area should've been developed by now and those farmers should've use machines rather than using their own hands or animals. Its not that I'm against anti-poverty campaign, but please be sensible on what you're showing to the public. The guest were all academicians and Uni's big shots for God's sake!!.

It's always been like this; if a mistake done by a man who is influential enough and has power, no action will be taken whatsoever, eventhough the mistakes could sometimes tarnish the image of the organisation that he represents. It's totally a different story if, a guy,a simple guy perhaps, did the smallest of mistake, the result will be somewhat a harsh punishment.It's not a fair world to live in afterall, and its not the world in fact, rather its all back to the humans when it comes to unfairness.

Another thing about the public lecture was about how they prepare their foods. The lauk were marvellous; ayam goreng, sambal udang, mee hoon goreng and nasi goreng. For some reason I don't know, they just give piring to serve the guests, instead of plates. Cheapskate!!...nak tambah segan...and there's more!! After I had those food including the sambal udang, my stommach was in great pain (was about to blow in fact)!!...I straighaway ran to the faculty, said hi to kak gee and ran to the 'bank'!!! Hey!! what did they put in that sambal huh!!!?? Actually can't complain coz its all free food afterall. (tapi pasal sakit perot tu mmg tak puas hati)

It's almost 6 pm and going to play table tennis with Lan then.....chiow

Master Craftmen

2004-09-30T21:39:00.000+08:00

Rooney!Rooney!Rooney!...u one helluva devil!..Man utd 6-2 emphatic win against Fenerbahce and Rooney's hattrick showed that the Red Devils still have the material to be champions. Its only in the matter of time that Man utd will rise to the occasion and win competitions...looking at the goals that Rooney scored...he is surely a master craftmen and he's among the best in the busines...'Glory!!! Glory Man Utd..as the Reds go marching ON !!!ON!! ON!!'

Just finished totalling up carry marks for my students and will put it in front of my room for them to see it. Some of them did see me and merayu to have more marks. I was somewhat dumbfounded since I do felt pity especially to those who failed on both test...but I can't give much help to them...Well it brings me when I was studyin at UNITEN where me and my friend went to see the lecturer to try bodek2 markah.

Finally, I have to make a make-up exam (just finished it actually!) for that student(u know the student-who-wants-take-early-exam-just-because-she-book-airplane-ticket-early!). It was Big Boss who asked me to do it...hmm..teringat kata2 'boss always right'. Not much to write though since I have no idea, and actually a bit exhausted today coz puasa siang tadi (dah tau puasa gi main ping pong sampai nak magrib).

Tommorow,I have to go to 'Syarahan Awam Yayasan Pak Rashid' at the Admin building, coz my name was suggested maybe by the HOD, to eventually represent the faculty, along with other 'lucky' staffs who also made it into the list hehe. The reason why I was named to go to this syarahan thing..err..actually only God knows why. Except that, tommorow Alfian will be going, so ada company la untuk borak..hehe.

Told ya, nuttin much to write for today's posting..but still itchy to write. Nevermind, then till the next posting insya allah.

Power Surge

2004-09-28T16:43:00.000+08:00

It has been a long time since I last experienced 'blackout' or power failure.It actually occured here in the faculty for almost 3 hours from 9am till almost 1 o'clock noon. I almost cancelled my java class, but I actually get on with the lecture and gave them back their test 2.

During the power breakdown, I couldn't do a thing, except wandering around the 3rd floor and watching aweks doing their presentation with Dr Shyamala at the lobby. After an hour of wandering around, I finally found a suitable activity to kill my time while waiting the power got back on, errr..it was...urging my friend (along with other fren...Koh(camana die bole join gak?)...Farid..Kak lin...and later..ET)) to reveal his secret girlfriend. We somehow couldn't manage to make him reveal his secret girlfriend, but he did give some hints. Didn't bother much bout his hints and all the story about his relationship (we korek2 la ape yg die rasa). Except that this friend of mine showed true devotion and undeniable confidence towards his relationship despite the fact that we already knew the truth is not to his liking.

Being an emcee at a seminar, organised by my jabatan. Ad hoc emcee to be precise, coz Pn Sharifah just asked me to be the emcee at the wee hours of the presentation. The presenter was a Yemen guy, who is doing his Phd here in the faculty. I had to asked him bout his educational background coz I have to introduce him before he gives his talk. I found out that he got his 1st degree from a university in Baghdad, Iraq during the 1st Gulf War!!! Wow...how did he managed to study during that time?..imagine...while u are in a lecture...outside..bombs dropped..bullets flying..and when u get out of the class u would find bodies...or even remaining of people?? errr...how bout if one of the bomb or missiles dropped at our bilik kuliah during the lecture???...he must've had very bad experience during his studies at that time...

Kinda hard actually to communicate with the presenter coz his pronounciations(in english)were not that clear (sound arabic at times ). He told me that he could not understand me talkin, and then he asked me whether I also didn't understand him...and I said yes. From that on, I slowed my tempo when I talked to him and listened to him closely on what he said. I've had this kinda problem when I was in Melbourne especially when I'm interacting with Indian students...Indian from India maaa..bollywood mari...only after sometime that I managed to understand what were they saying.

Thinking of playin table tennis after this....but macam penat je. Anyway, got some good experience today, being an emcee and people blaja masa war pon boleh dapat degree and now doin his Phd pon....imagine how he strived himself...tu je kot...

Hungry Jack's

2004-09-27T18:58:00.000+08:00

Nuttin much about today, but I still wanted to write..heheh..anyway..not in the office for the whole day,almost. I actually attended a seminar on 'Transform Your Research Into Business Ventures' at the Admin Building. There were 4 speakers, started with representative from MSC, whose explaining on the MSC Flagship. It was about how they would support whoever that has a technology to be developed, that also wants to be an entrepeneur under them. The second speaker, was talkin bout how to be an entrepeneur. The third speaker talked about Intelligent Properties while the last one talked about How to Make a Business Plan.

Well, its kinda informative seminar, eventhough it was not directly related to my bidang. What frustrated me was the 1st speaker from the MSC. I'm not condemning her, but as a goverment funded entity, which was publicised to give support and help for locals to be an entrepeneur in IT, the speaker that the MSC sent, should be the one that is very good at givin speech. With her grammar and language (she gave her speach in English) was very tunggang langgang (I'm not sayin that i'm good)..MSC should send better speaker than her. So that, people could be convinced enuff to join the MSC.

I was attracted to the third speaker who talked about Intelligent Properties(IP). The speaker was a former lawyer, that was why he'd gave such a good speech. He also gave one helluva joke. The joke was about a very rich lawyer (not him...die bagitau la) whose in his luxurious limousine,was on his way back home. Incidentally, he saw two men eating grass by the roadside. The lawyer stopped by and asked those two men, "Why on earth are u eatin grass?". "We are so poor what we can't afford to buy food", one of them replied. Then the lawyer said,"Well, come with me to my house then?", the lawyer asked. "I have my family also, can they join us?" asked one of the poor guy."Why not?", the lawyer answered. "I have family who are also hungry, why didn't u invite my family as well?", asked the other poor guy. "Okay then, bring all your family to my house", the lawyer replied. Then the two poor guy with their families fitted themselves into the limousine and reached the lawyer's castle-like bungalow within 5 minutes. At the bungalow, the lawyer then said "I haven't cut my grass for sometime now, u and ure family can eat all the grass as much as you like !!". What kinda lawyer is that??..it's kinda funny story(for me lah) and sadis as well hehe...lawak sadis la kire.

Later in the afternoon, again, the student whose asking me to take earlier final exam came to my room. She asked me whether she could sit the exam early. I told her again, the exam can't be taken early, and she said that En Taufik told him that I could make another exam question just for her....Then I told her, its not my bidang kuasa to easily make another exam question without HOD permission. Then, her face changed..turned kinda red actually. Then I told her to meet Dr Nasir. I was so tensed bout that students, as she still insisting on sitting the exam early.

Cooled myself by playin table tennis with ET, noris, Lan and Farid after the 'emotional' incident. There was a heavy downpour in the middle of the play, but we ignored and continued our play. Suddenly I stopped playin coz the floor was so slippery.Actually sometin popped my mind bout my knee.Okay I should stop lah..bahaya lutut tak elok.....

Hot in Ere!!

2004-09-24T17:10:00.000+08:00

There were some 'hot' issues going on in the faculty these 2-3 days. Firstly, it was about a person who's nicknamed 'polan polans' who emailed the faculty with one hot topic. In the email, the writer discussed about racism and some religious issue which is intended to a convert muslim in the faculty. The way the writer expressed his/her opinion, was very annoying that the writer thinks, that he's the 'hero' for the Malays survival in this country. There were some indication in the email that showed the writer was from the faculty itself. The email really got into everyone's nerves coz the writer also condemned other races and even his/her own race!!Eventhough in the end, the writer did apologize, the way that the writer did it, again, entirely really irritated everyone.

Later in the afternoon today, there was this one student who met me to discussed about her final exam. She's one of my C++ student, and she asked me if she could take the exam days before the real exam date. It's b'coz she's already booked her plane ticket a week before the eventual date, and she said she could not change the ticket date, or she will have to pay more. I've told her that the department or even the faculty won't let students to take the exam on another date, unless if there is an emergency or unforseen circumstances.

Then I asked her to go the Pejabat Am, and she met Timb Dekan, and even HOD. After that, she came to me, in tears (nangis tu yg aku menyampah tu), asked me to see HOD and help her. Man....I will help you but I can't. The exam is arranged by the Akademiks and I couldn't do a thing. Finally, HOD told me, if it were to be a make up exam (if she meets the Dean and he says so), I have to make the paper myself and and the HOD asked make it a tough one, she deserves it he said.....That student actually did get into my nerves as she booked the ticket before the final exam schedule is out, and its not about I have to make the exam question but rather because of her fault, lots of people got entangled in order to solve her dilemma..plus the crying2 thing..boring aaa.....however, the way that I handled the situation, I didn't show any signs of anger or what not...a cool cat in fact(puji diri sendiri heheeh). Whew!!...coz I used to be a short fuse once!!...easily blew my top...dulu laa...

It tickles me when I watched people who with high hopes, expecting too much and wishing his/her fantasy will become a reality just like that. Without having yourself working you a** off, you not gonna get what you wish for.The thing is, how could you possibly say, you've got what you want while you're actually not??Well....effort or effortless,we wouldn't know what the future holds. Hopefully,things will get better in the next few days..nevertheless..like nelly said 'Its gettin hot in ere!!'....ciao!:P

Disturbing Behavior

2004-09-22T17:17:00.000+08:00

Another tiring day for me....just finished making schedule for final presentation, but it depends on all the penyelia, coz they might want to change the presentation time, and I might have to reschedule it. Finally I've found that freakin' sponsorship letter from TMNET, which i was trying to find for the last 3 days. What I got to know was, TMNET was formerly known as TM Multimedia, that was why I could not find it...bugger!!!

I won't be playin table tennis as for today,and this time its for real!, although a friend of mine kept asking me to play with him, sorry mate...too tired for that. Yesterday, I did get into some table tennis action, but it was very late in the afternoon actually, around 6.30pm. There's more...I played again with Kamal yesterday night from 11 up until midnight at the faculty. Man..Kamal was helluva player!!..nice playin with him...

I actually decided not to play table tennis yesterday night, coz I wanted to finish up my C++ notes plus quiz. It was very disturbing when I heard from downstairs,while making the notes in the bilik tutor, sounds of alfian and kamal playing table tennis at the lobby. Arrggghhh!!!..the sound was like urging me to stop doing those notes, like wanted me to jump off the window and straightaway play table tennis with 'em, obviously I wont do that. I stepped up my tempo, raced myself downstairs right after I finished the notes as well the quiz, and played with Kamal.

I'm kinda surprised with all the nice comments that i got from you guys(especially from the faculty...yea! u all la!!). Thanx for all the comments, and I appreciated it!!Keep commenting, I don't mine even if it's just a simple hello or anything that would make this blog cheerful enough for others to read and enjoy. Keep it up guys coz, my writing, I think,in a way, might drive you guys straight to boredom wouldn't it?(no lah!!..kan??kan??)Again...thank you.

Basic Instinct

2004-09-21T16:56:00.000+08:00

Man U 2...Liverpool 1...man...I was relieved when Graham Poll blew the final whistle of the game as Liverpool swarming United defence on the final minutes. My heartbeat was thumping like thunder when Liverpool got a free kick just outside United penalty box in the final minute...and Wham!!!...Dietmar Hamann fired the ball wide, luckily man...I wanna say sorry to all the Kops out there..tehhehe...

Nothing much to say bout today, except that I shouldnt've gone to the seminar on UPM networking. Kak Lin was right, I should not go, should follow my instinct instead. Damn...it was so boring, that I couldn't understand a word of what that Faizal, BTM guy was tellin. Not his fault but, coz this is networking thingy and I'm so not into that, so logically I won't understand a thing. In the middle of the seminar, I was thinking of walking out from that DKU. Unfortunately, Big Boss was also there, and he sat just couple of row behind me. I cancelled out my plan and I stayed there until the seminar is finished. I should've finished my quiz for tommorow lecture by this afternoon, but I didn't listen to my instinct....hello??!!..If I'm not listening to myself...who will???(scolding myself...teheheheh)

Glad that I've made some moves bout the cheque thing but I won't be playing table tennis this afternoon. No kaki lah...Lan absent, Farid went for the voleyball, E.T n noris pon macam takde je...except for err...that guy laa..anyway...told ya..nuttin much today!!... :)

Clash of the Ageing Giants

2004-09-20T16:22:00.000+08:00

It has been a hectic day for me today,as starting from this day until next week, students are busying themselves as well as busying me,to register their subject for the next semester. Students keep knockin on my door and asking whether they can register their subject and I also have to make sure that they wont register more or less than expected total of credits. Not just that, today, i also have to resolve the sponsorship cheque thing...which was handled by other staff initially and I'm the one whose gonna make sure that the sponsorship will proceed in the end.

There's more to it. I have to find replacement for Erzam to do the demo which I already did, but turned down by Big Papa at the last moment. Luckily there's this one guy whos kindly offer his service to replace Erzam to do the demo. That guy wont get to claim his pay because he is a part-time lecturer, and could not claim for a demo pay??If you dont understand what the hell I'm talking about, please bare with me coz, I also do not know what I'm writing right now but luckily it is settled, thanks to that guy's good deeds that he said it as 'khidmat masyarakat'. May Allah Bless u.

I have always expected these kind of problems would come to me but I never thought that it would make me this exhausted...mentally i mean. I have to content with everyday things, you know things like...preparing lectures, and then, handling final projects with final year students...and it keeps adding and adding everyday. Actually I don't mind facing all these, but if only I could get more cooperation from others whose also involved with the same thing that I am in, things could be more easier. But hey...life's a b****, somehow I will have to content with it one way or the other, be it at this situation or maybe in another situation that I could never think of yet. (I'm talking about not having enough teamwork and cooperation)

Away with the office thing, tommorow morning, there will be a match that has been traditionally anticipated in every season of EPL, Man U vs Liverpool. The ESPNStar tv man dubbed it as the 'Clash of Ageing Giants'! (I should slap that ESPNStar guy for saying ageing giant!!). I reckon its gonna be a cracker and I hope that Rooney will be playin his first game and do like what Gabriel Heinze did in his debut fortnight ago!I'm really worried about the backline since they always conceding soft goals, and Tim Howard is also not in good form. Nonetheless, I hope that Rooney will be a driving force to the team as well as Ruud Van 'the Man' Nilsterooy who scored a brace in the champs league last week. Go Manchurian Red Army!!!

The Quick and the Dead

2004-09-18T02:45:00.000+08:00

Lately, I'm really gettin obsessed with one sport that involves quick movements, precision action and consistencies...Table Tennis!!!(or Ping Pong!!!)Actually before this i didnt play table tennis this much since I am very into soccer and badminton. As a matter of fact i never played table tennis until i was a teenager...because at that time I was only involved in soccer and badminton. My dad and my mom were my inspiration in playin badminton, as they used to play here at UPM and has entered countless competition here as well.My dad always incourage me to involve in racquet sports like badminton, squasy and table tennis as they say it wont get u injured easily compare to playin sports that involves body contact like soccer, rugby, basket ball.

So during my school days,I did at some point get proper training in badminton(ada coach sekali), but at the same time I loved soccer and very keen to play it in competitions. Unfortunately I was not selected to play soccer for my school as I was not good enuff, but I did represent my school in badminton. Not that I am very good in playing badminton, but I managed to represent school in serdang,at MRSM, and played for Mara College Banting as well. Never won anything but...heheh Surprisingly, now, I started to play table tennis obsesively. I like it so much because of the speed and the swerve of the ball that we have to content with. The quicker the better!!I like to play it very quick just like in the Olympics where we can return smash ball by the opponent by smashing it back!!!...cool isn' it??...and the good news is, I can do that!!(bukan selalu laa hehe).
The kind of obsesive that I have right now is that I played it in the afternoon at the faculty, and then I played with my fren at Serdang from 11pm till 2am!!!...gile kan!!I used to play soccer every afternoon and its like my enthusiast to play soccer already dead ! The most important thing is it can make me healthy and fit, but I should control my frequent time of playin in a day. I actually should more focus on my job, and start to plan on my Phd topic isn it??.

Gone With the Wind

2004-09-16T11:03:00.000+08:00

As a football fan of two former giants(Selangor and Man U...former eii??)....I have a mixed feelin for their latest match results...Selangor won in Cheras as they beat KL 2-1...I didnt go watch the match but...I'm happy with the result as they can get a chance to progress to quarter final of Malaysia Cup. But then, Man U started their Champions League campaign with an unhappy note. Even though they drew 2-2 with Lyons, they just..I said just,got that 1 point, because at one point they were trailing 0-2.Hail Ruud Van Nilsterooy. Ruud!...ruud!..ruud!..ruud!. Anyway Its Ok for me,as long as they did not lose, 1 point is still worth it.
Actually I didnt watch the Man U game as well, tak tahan maa...ngantok.
Gone were the days that I could watch Champions League match at 2.30 and then continued watching other delayed match of CL,up until 6.30 in the morning. Wasnt working at that time but, hehehe.
Now, things have changed. Nevertheless, my enthusiasm towards football wont fade away just because I'm working.

New job new friends....

2004-09-15T13:05:00.000+08:00

It has been more than a month that I have started working here in FSKTM, man...glad that finally I got a job after more that 6 months doing nothing except makan bola tido bola and minum coca cola.
Well actually it has been the most unproductive 6 months that I've been through before I got this job.
Alhamdulillah, all is goin well up until now. What I like the most about being here, is about the friends that I got here. They are like brothers and sisters to me, as I said I have just been here for about a month or so, but the chemistry between us here is like we've known each other for such a long time...
I hope that this relationship will go on for a long time and I appreciate it so much. Thanks guys, you guys rock!!!!
