It already second day of Chinese New Year.. Just want to wish Happy Chinese New Year for those who are celebrating.. Have a happy holiday with your family and loves one...

Yasuko to Kenji

Yasuko to Kenji is a story about a very strong bond between a brother, Oki Kenji starred by Matsuoka Masahiro and his sister Oki Yasuko starred by Tabe Mikako.. Kenji was a former bike gang leader where he quit this gang because of yasuko after both their parents died in an accident.. Started for that day, they lived together...

Kenji who had a little bit of rough personality find it was difficult for him to connect with Yasuko.. She always cried everyday remembering her parents... Until one day, Kenji try to use manga to connect with Yasuko and it works! She smiled everyday reading Kenji's manga, then he make a decision to start to write manga profesionally by using pen name, Sakuraba Reika..

What shock me is, even he is a former biker gang, he draw shoujo manga.. Haha, and of course he needs to hide his true identity.. He had two asisstant who also his former biker gang members named Ajidasu and Mosu starred by Watabe Gota and Uchiyama Shinji.

Ten years already past away, they meet Tsubaki family, where Yasuko fall in love with the brother Jun starred Okura Tadayoshi by while the sister Erika starred by Hirosue Ryoko on the other hand in love with Kenji.. Haha.. What a complex love! Erika was also a former biker gang leader, and that's how she meet Kenji..

There are many things happen in this story, but it is all about a very strong bond between a brother and his sister.. Kenji always there when Yasuko needs his help.. Even one day he quit manga because of Yasuko.. I'm not telling anymore.. Hehe.. There are also funny elements in here and also sad elements.. That's make this story very interesting.. I'm recommending this for those searching for J-drama, why not try this out..

Chinese Lokam

I just back from Giant Supermarket.. Since it is almost Chinese New Year there are SALE everywhere! However I'm not going there for shopping, just to look around to release tension a little bit.. in fact, I do not plan on buying anything.. Of course since it is Chinese New Year, one of the most "hot" thing is the oranges, they called it Chinese Lokam..

It has the same look as orange, in fact it is orange! But in different race, just like us human.. It has a very soft skin that easy for us to open compared to other type of oranges... There are many types of oranges huh! But the taste is still the same, a little bit of sour and little bit of sweet...

This Lokam is a must have in Chinese New Year celebration.. For them, receiving fresh fruits at the new year is the symbol of new beginning life at the new year.. It is also means luck, wealth and good fortune.. That's why Chinese will bought it,sometimes I think too much for a small family (how they are going to finish it??? I wonder???)..

For me, I like the taste of this Lokam oranges.. How to choose a good one?? I'm not really sure, but my mom once said that her friends told her that, if there are many "riang-riang" (what do they call it in English??? try to look at this picture if you recognize it) that year, the oranges will taste really sweet.. This insect can produce a very loud sound if it is disturbed! But for me, I just pick a carton contains 24 pieces and just pay it.. Haha..


Sometimes I got a sweet one but sometime not.. It depends on your luck! Hehe.. But the one I just bought is sweet (my first try, and I'm lucky!)... Happy Chinese New Year for those who are celebrating! -adios-

Problem almost solved...

It's been three weeks since I've been working on my dissertation programming... It was not a simple task to do... Huhu.. It was a tricky plus sometimes hard things to do.. Why am I saying this?? I've got the original programming from my supervisor long time a go, where the programming using FORTRAN IV language, and also the journal I've been using was the 80s journal...

The writer was using a supercomputer Cray version at that time ( I think that the best at that time).. So here the difficult part, where I need to convert, from Cray version to Windows version... I use FORTRAN 6.5 as the compiler... Lots of things need to be changed! Sometimes, I feel little bit dissapointed and tired..

First run, there got 33 errors, and after a week fixing the errors still not decrease, until one day, suddenly it decrease into 3 errors only.. Haha lucky for me.. But after fixing this 3 errors, suddenly new errors appeared! Now it becomes 12 errors.. I think I got to stop talking about errors or you might feel bored.. hehe

My point is, today my supervisor, with his lucky finger had solved the problem! Haha.. Now the program is running.. Lucky and ALHAMDULILLAH! Now I can proceed to the calculation part... Huhu... Hope everything will run smoothly after this...

Free Palestine

I've got this email from my friends.. Huhu.. Somehow I feel very sad! This really happen in Palestine, a mother and her son... What a TERRORIST Israel was! Killings all innocent peoples without any sympathy...



Can you imagine if you are this boy? What did you expect the last word from your mom? Can you just feel it? I think now, people should reunite and fight this international terrorist.. They want something but they use a wrong way to get it, by killing innocent people! Why people? Why Bush? Bush was once said that USA will fight terrorist as what they do in Iraq but are there any terrorist in Iraq? Nothing right? But now, we can see clearly how terrorist Israel was! So what now? It's time to prove your words! Even all people in this world disagree with Israel killing innocent people, they just ignore it like they are so powerful.. Wait la, one day they will get their punishment, GOD will punish them!FREE PALESTINE!

Quantum Physics??

Hi all! It is still not too late for me to wish you all happy new year! It is 2009 already! Means my age will increase by one year more.. Hua.. Getting older... Ahaha.. Actually today I want to share about something I've found... It was about QUANTUM PHYSICS!

I've read an article from a website about this topics...
Here are some of it..

What is Quantum Physics?

Quantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta as described by the Quantum Theory. There are five main ideas represented in Quantum Theory:

1. Energy is not continuous, but comes in small but discrete units.
2. The elementary particles behave both like particles and like waves.
3. The movement of these particles is inherently random.
4. It is physically impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.
5. The atomic world is nothing like the world we live in.

While at a glance this may seem like just another strange theory, it contains many clues as to the fundamental nature of the universe and is more important then even relativity in the grand scheme of things (if any one thing at that level could be said to be more important then anything else). Furthermore, it describes the nature of the universe as being much different then the world we see. As Niels Bohr said, "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."

Don't you find it is interesting?? Haha... After reading the detail I've found out that my research somehow consists of this topic also.. Now it make me feel afraid!! Huhu... And I also found this interesting quotation by DH Lawrence (he is one of english novelist, poets)

I like relativity and quantum theories
Because I don't understand them
And they make me feel as if space shifted
About like a swan that can't settle
Refusing to sit still and be measured
And as if the atom were an impulsive thing
Always changing its mind..

How's that?? Isn't his word mean something for you?? NO? Why don't you try to do the "out of box" thinking.. haha.. Just kidding! By the way hope that this year will bring you all and me more happiness..

Renovation complete..

This is one part of my house that just finished being renovate.. The last part which is the cabinets! Just pictures.. Some might say beautiful while some might say not.. What can I say, it is something abstract! Hehe.. So enjoy this last pictures...



That's all we paid for RM32K.. Nowadays things are very expensive.. Hua..

First Muharram

Ahlan Wasahlan...

Satu Muharram detik permulaan,
Perkiraan tahun Islam Hijrah,
Perpindahan Nabi dan umat Islam,
Dari kota Mekah ke kota Madinah,

Atas keyakinan dan iman yang teguh,
Kaum Muhajirin dan Ansar bersatu,
Rela berkorban, harta dan nyawa,
Demi menegakkan Islam terrcinta,

Hijrah itu pengorbanan,
Hijrah itu perjuangan,
Hijrah itu persaudaraan,
Hijrah membentuk perpaduan,

Oleh itu mari semua,
Kita sambut Maal Hijrah,
Tingkatkan semangat tegakkan syiar Islam,
Untuk sepanjang zaman...

This song is about first Muharram where it is the first day in Islamic calendar.. Celebrate by all Muslim to remember the day where the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W journey from Mecca to madina on 622 AD. This song also asked Muslim to always unite in order to create a strong bond in order to fight the enemy..

So, think about our life before, is it good enough for us as Muslim? Are there anything wrong or bad that we do? Are we already asked for forgiveness? Does our pray enough already? How our relationship with our parents? friends? people around us? If you always think about this, you will become good person, even if you are not a Muslim.. Thinks and thinks...

Renovation almost complete...

Here are the latest pictures of my home renovation.. Almost done, only cabinet and some small parts are not finish yet.. but others are complete.. I like the style of our new toilet... Hehe.. And also the new kitchen.. Only the dining room (is it right?? ruang makan) is just a little bit of disappointing because the color seems does not really match.. But for me it is ok la.. Mybe after we put all the furniture, it will looks better.. Hehe.. Hopefully la..



The toilet was the best! Haha.. But still not done yet, my sister said they still not installed the new door, the one outside and the one inside for the shower room...


Mybe my house later I will invest a little bit for the toilet and more... Just to make it look nice right? Haha.. That's why people always said home sweet home! Here are the bigger picture...

Ati Radeon X1650 Pro

Hi all.. Today I want to talk about my new graphic card which was from the Ati Radeon model X1650 Pro.. This is not the PCI-Ekspress model but the AGP model because my motherboard only support AGP gc.. Huhu.. Here are it's specification...

That's all the specs but Most of it I don't understand but what can I say it is a powerful gc for Agp type since I can play latest game such as Far Cry 2, Crysis Warhead, Need for Speed Undercover, Fifa09, Dirt and Red Alert 3 (this is the one that I've tried on my pc and it work).. Forgot to tell, my processor only Pentium 4 2.4ghz.. Wierd but it works for all the listed game! I think processor does not effect the games too much..

I used Ati Radeon 9600 series before but this year 2008 games most of it my gc cannot support it.. There will be a message such as "Your gc does not support shader 3.0", "Your gpu does not meet minimum spec", and many more.. So I somehow stop playing game this year.. Only play Fifa08 all the time.. Huhu..

But of course you need ram at least 1.5gb.. Haha.. What can I say, since the price for ddr2 is very2 cheap now.. I used ddr1 400 and I can get 2gb ram of ddr2 for the price of 1gb ddr1 400.. How unfair! So need a little bit of investment here.. Haha.. But for those who loves game but they only got a PC that support AGP gc, this is the right choice! I've see the different!

Latest renovation pictures...

This is the latest picture of my home renovation...






That's all.. almost finish right? Hehe.. I think it is too colorful.. Haha..

PC Fair 2008

Last Saturday I went to PC Fair at Persada JB.. I am not planning on buying anything, just to look around to see the latest hardware and gadgets.. Of course every time there is PC Fair, it will be too crowded.. Sometimes it feel to anxious/ uncomfortable.. That's why I am not really like to buy anything at the PC Fair.. Plus if the goods you buy damaged, it will be difficult to find the place to claim for warranty..

So, if you buy something at PC Fair, make sure you take the company name, adress and telephone so that you will be not in trouble if something wrong with the goods you bought.. What interest me this PC Fair was there are Toyo Tires booth at the outside.. And of course if there is Toyo Tires there will be a drift car exhibition..

Guess what, there are MAZDA RX7.. Hoho.. One of my dream car! Here are the pictures of it..

There are other two cars, Nissan but I cannot recognize which model.. Huhu.. Sorry.. If you know it why don't you tell me..

That's all for now.. I really hope if there is drift demonstration but, after a long wait nothing happen.. Huhu.. Maybe I just a little bit late..

Renovation continue...

Here are the latest pictures of the renovation in my house.. Almost finish.. Already painted and installed the grill...



The sink also almost finish..


The floor tile also installed already...


The toilet almost finish..


The ceiling installation also has started..

That's all for now.. I will upload again later for the update

Posting...

Today I'm already at UTM continuing my study to get my master degree... And also, the result of last semester is out already... Huhu.. This time I got lower result than previous semester plus one subject, Applied and Computational Complex Analysis only got B- (means luckily pass, if got lower than this is fail).. This is a very difficult subject, and the last chapter about CONFORMAL MAPPING is the most difficult one.. Huhu.. Cannot catch up this chapter but luckily my lecturer pass me.. Alhamdulillah... But other subjects are ok.. Jus forget everything and continue with this semester.. For this semester there are no paper only research(dissertation)... I've already see my supervisor, Dr Yek Su Hoe and he already gives me the title of my dissertation...

Dynamic Simulation of Liquids and Solids using the Ewald Summation

I still not understand this title and still do the research... After I understand it I will tell you all...

Data Retrieval Software

Another post for this day... Hehe.. This time is about the software that can help those who had a problem with the damaged hardisk or any storage device... This one called Recover My Files... A very powerful tool to help you retrieve back almost everything you had on the damaged hardisk...

Actually, my external hardisk suddenly broken where I got the message show that "The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable"... It is very frustrating because everything I've download was there.. Firstly, my plan was to format back the disk but I search information about
data disk recover.. There are lots of software actually that can help you to retrieve back everything...

Then, I got a message from my friend about this website where they provide softwares + crack.. For those who do not familiar with crack, it is used to make the software becomes the registered one instead of the demo... Here is the website.. Then you search for the
software name, Recover My Files, if not just type data recover and there are lots of sofware...

From here I got this software and retrieve back almost all the files in my external hardisk.. Huh! Very lucky! But don't be suprised if you found that it takes a very loooonnngg time for the retrieving process... But it works!

The moral is do not trust hardisk! Burn it on dvd! Haha...

Pet is sick!

Hi all!! This time I want to share about my pet cat.. We called it Chikki first but now I do not know why it changed to Papin (pronounce it as puppy.. but it is not a dog, it is a cat!).. Born in our house and we kept it because it has a very nice orange fur...

It is a male and of course as a male cat, there always a fight.. Huhu.. That's the reason why he always get sick.. But mostly just a minor injury but last time it was very bad... Both his front legs are bleeding and also it was very weak..( we think it got a fever..).. So we sent it to a veterinar and after the treatment it get better...

That's the old story, but now the same injury happen again.. We think it is not from the fighting because it happen at the same place as before.. Firstly just a small wound but it getting bigger everyday.. So again we take it to the veterinar.. The doctor said the wound becomes larger because he licked it..

Here the funny part.. Because of its bad behavior, the doctor put something looks like a neck guard at him.. He becomes angry and tried to open it but he can't.. The doctor said to only removed it when the wound are heal! So now my pet looks like an astronout! Haha..

Very2 funny, especially, he like to reverse when he reached wall or something.. Can you imagine cat reverse all the time.. Walk front and reverse.. Just looks like a car!! But that's for its own good... The guard will prevent him from licking the wound... Now, he already ok with the guard..

He still needs to take some medication to helps to heal the wound faster.. Now, we now how the wound getting bigger.. Sometimes I wonder why he lick the wound when he know it will make it worst?? Haha.. Maybe because it is animal not like us... So we as a human being must always use our brain before doing something not like animal who only depends on its instinct... -adios-

Renovation in Progress..

Hi all! This time I would like to tell you about the renovation process in my house.. It was already 10 days plus today... Many had changed but there are still lots to do.. But I'm not the one who do it (of course la.. haha..).. A Chinese contractor, Ah Chai (this is their boss) and his workers do this.. What actually were changed?

Hehe.. There were lots, kitchen, toilet, my late grandpa's room and also our backyard of house.. All are combined to create a new one.. The kitchen will be bigger because the old kitchen plus our backyard, toilet were changed completely where we will use shower with hot water, all the wooden frame at the back were changed to aliminium and many more..

My dad also asked to add tiles for the whole kitchen from bottom to the roof and also at the new toilet... There were lots of renovation and that's make the price very high!! RM33K.. Is it cheap or expensive?? Some may say cheap and some may say expensive, but I think it was ok la.. Haha.. Plus Ah Chai sometimes he do everything according to his head that's make my dad sometimes need to do another explanation of what we want actually.. Is it right?? Customers always right so Ah Chai just follow what we want!! Haha...

Here are some pictures, but I will be back to Johor tomorrow so this is the only that I can provide...



This is from the first day they work on 5th Disember 2008... Nothing they do just adding some bricks only...


Second day... The just removed the roof...



I forgot what day already but I think fourth day.. The just installed new roof.. Here other pictures....
