Happy 52th Independant Day Malaysia

Happy Independant Day to all Malaysian! It's been 52 years since we had achieved our freedom! This time the theme is One Malaysia (Satu Malaysia Rakyat Didahulukan Pencapaian Diutamakan)..

True experience...

It's been 2 weeks since I've got my first car.. Huhu.. There already a problem.. There are some kind of wierd sound come from front left tyre.. At first I tought it just because of the road but somehow it s getting worse everyday.. The sound at first like "kluk.. kluk" but now it change to "kriit.. kriitt" something like the sound of mice.. Huhu..

So after some discussion with my father, we decided to sent it to the service center yesterday to check the problem... After inspection which take a very long time (I sent the car at 9am but only receive the call at 2.45pm confirming the problem), the sound was actually coming from the front suspension.. I tought it takes only few hours to repair it, until I get the second call from the service center asking me to left the car for another day...

I've started to worry! Is the problem is too much?? Today I need to sent my sister back to Penang.. So, I will not have time to check the service center... Huhu.. Around 2.55 pm today, again I received call from the service center telling me that the problem already solved and I can pick back my car.. Huh! Feel so relived!

After we get back to Ipoh from Penang, me and my mother rush to the service center to pick my car.. Aha.. The problem comes from the suspension spring because the rubber pad on it alreay worn out! Aha.. How come?! Only two weeks of driving with mileage only 2400km, already worn out! Something must happen here... Maybe they forgot to install the rubber pad... Haha.. Whatever it is, thanks to the 5 years warranty, I only pay 3.50MYR for the repair..

Hope there are no more problem after this.. I hope Proton will become more careful about this.. --adios-

Aha.. That's all from me.. If you asked for my suggestion I would say, if you really had more money, go for other brand such as Toyota or Honda instead if Proton or Perodua.. Huhu.. No offense! Because my BLM only 2000km of mileage and now there alread some wierd sound coming from the front tyre... Huhu.. Even my mother and father who had used Proton for more than 10 years experienced the same problem at first until they started to ignore any wierd sound.. HAha.. But the design and the engine performance still ok la..

Salam Ramadhan Al-Mubarak!

Happy eid-Ramadhan Al-Mubarak to everyone! May Allah with us in this beautiful month..

UTM 43rd Convocation (My 2nd convocation)

Last Sunday (16 August 2009) was my second convocation taking my MSc. Maths scroll.. This time is different from my first convocation, because it was bigger and merrier! I reached at UTM on Thursday evening after 7 hours ride (slow... because my dad asked me to drive less than 100 km/h since there a little bit problem inside the car.. huhu)... My family arrived later on Saturday by bus (8 hours ride because the bus always stop!).. So on Thursday and Friday I stayed on my friend's room in UTM (Special thanks for Geero for giving me a lift for this two days)...

During the convocation, we were asked to wear mask in order to protect from Influenza A H1N1 (good and wise dicision right?).. The person who are giving me the scroll this time was Her Royal Highness Raja Zarith Sofiah, The Pro Cancellor of UTM.. She always smile... Hehe... The ceremony started around 9 am and finished around 11.30 am... After finished the convocation, me and my family went to take a picture of us and then back to hotel... I went back to UTM to take my transkrip and then around 5.30 pm we started our ride home..

I don't know when I will be back to UTM anymore.. Only Allah knows... I would express my gratitude to all my friends here Geero (bagi tumpang bilik), Bazli (g konvo aku..padahal nk g tgk awek die.. haha), Apete (belanja makan), Bobo (bagi buku n installer), Tord(g raptai..haha), Ghazali (information), Jang, Intan, Ummu, Oji, Ann, James(tolong tangkap gambar), Ain, Ita, Anas and many more for this wonderful convocation.. Plus thanks to UTM and all the lecturers and staffs... It's been a wonderful day! Here are some pictures I managed to take before the camera battery flush out.. Huhu...

Influenza A H1N1

According to Ministry of Health, Malaysia (www.h1n1.moh.gov.my) until 9 August, there are 26 dies because of influenza A H1N1 in Malaysia, with 1780 cases of infections all over Malaysia... It is getting worse!

Here are some of the symptons I've read in today's Newspaper - Berita Harian and from Hospital's phamplete...

1. Fever above 38 degrees
2. Cough
3. Sore throat
4. Body Aches
5. Respiratory Problem (sesak nafas)
6. Body aches
7. Diarrhea
8. Shivering and always tired

Somehow I think Malaysian didn't really care about this disease... They still organizing a party or grouping even tough they know that the disease can easily separated in group plus it is getting worse in Malaysia.. So, I hope our government, especially our Prime Minister would react and do some fast and affective action in order to prevent this disease from getting worse!

Why not make it compulsary for everyone to wear mask when they are outside, or maybe just inform us where the infection is getting worse so that we can avoid to getting there.. And of course stop everything that involve grouping so that our beloved Malaysia will becomes a safe place from influenza A H1N1...

For those who had some of the symptons, or just fever quickly go to the hospital for checking.. Our air quality is also very bad right now which also not good for our health.. So, it is easy to get sick (cough and fever) and this influenza A H1N1 can easily attacking our weak body system.. Just keep a healthy and a happy life...

Why everything is so late???

It's been 2 months I've finished my study.. Application for a career (I tried to be a lecturer...) had been sent all over Malaysia except Sabah and Sarawak.. Interview? Only one! (First interview was a mess!) Damn! Why other university just remain silent??? At least call or give some message about my application... All they said was your application is in process... So late... So what I can do... Just wait and wait...

My convocation just around the corner... I think might be on Sunday, 16th August.. However, I still not getting my convocation letter until today! Another late! I've call the university but they said my faculty was having a problem that make our convocation letter was late! Again.. I need to wait and wait.... Hope I will get it this week...

There are some "Thing" i've been waiting for this 2 months.. I should get it last month but they said maybe this month... However until now they also just remains silent! Is it the technique people always do when they cannot fullfilled the deadline?? Haha... So, just wait... Wait.. wait.. and wait..

Local's Fruits Season!

Yeah! As stated on the title of this post.. It is the local's fruits season in Malaysia right now.. Starting from the king of fruit in Malaysia, DURIAN until now continued by RAMBUTAN, MANGGIS (Mangosteen) , CEMPEDAK (Jackfruit) the latest fruits now which are LANGSAT and DUKONG.. Next is DUKU..

Let me introduced some of this local fruits planted by my Pak Teh (Uncle) in Kulim, Kedah.. Firstlt of course, the king of Malaysian fruits, DURIAN... Below is the this Durian's tree (sorry for the low quality of pictures, since I'm just using my handphone...) My uncle actually have 4 trees if I'm not mistaken with one already death after the fruits grow...


Here are the pictures of Durian.. Look nice but sometime people does not like it smell.. Even my mother car still has this fruits smell after almost two weeks... Huhu.. But the taste is superb! Sweet, plus a little bit of bitter.. But becareful of its sharp thorn (duri.. betul ke dlm english thorn???) and also if you eat too much your body will feel hot.. And for those who had a high blood pressure and diabetes, please do not eat durian too much.. Huhu..



Now is the queen of local's malaysian fruits which are MANGOSTEEN or MANGGIS is Malay.. It has a black fruits colour on the outside butthe inside is actually white and juicy.. The taste a little bit sweet and sour.. Some people said that in order to prevent our boy to feel hot after eating durian, we need to eat mangosteen.. Aha.. That what King and Queen is all about! Care for each other.. Hehe... The picture below is the tree...





Next is Rambutan.. This fruits has a fur on its body.. The colour of this fruits is either yellow or red.. Both has an almost same taste.. Sweet and juicy...



There are actually Duku, Langsat and Jackfruit here.. But I forget to take a picture of them.. Thanks for Pak Teh family for the lovely orchids!

First Interview...

Aha.. After a very long relax, I've got a call from Uitm Shah Alam for interview for a Maths' lecturer position.. The interview was on Monday 22nd of June and I've got the call late in the evening.. Huhu.. What do they have in mind? Why inform about it so late??? I'm not sure about what to prepare since this is my first interview so I've just my friend...

Need to prepare some kind of slide for mock teaching for any topics in Maths (I choose Finite Difference), bring along all the certificate I have.. That's all my friend told me... So the Monday has came! I've reached at Uitm around 6.15am (Haha.. So early! Interview at 8.30am).. After simple breakfast and smarting (ade ke istilah ni??), I went to the Faculty of Computer Science and Maths for the interview...

There, I met some of my friends from UTM.. Huhu.. More rival! There are 32 candidate for a position I think less than 5 (Huhu.. Now, it is getting more difficult!).. So, when my name called, I just went inside the room.. There are three interviewers, a man and two woman.. After a briefing about my personal background and my mock teaching, the asked me to sit in front of them... Now, it getting hotter!

First question was about why I choose a job as lecturer and my answer is because it is my dream job (Huh, what a weak answer...) Second is about what do I do in KDRM during my practical (Here I think I give a good answer until suddenly the asked for my practical report!) OMG first mistake! The third question is about my dissertation which also I can explain it very long but again the asked for the report! Oh no!

And they also asked for my degree report, but I'm not bringing it all! One question that I think a little bit difficult to answer when they asked if I am willing to work in Sabah or Sarawak! With a very full confident and proud I've said I will think about it! Haha.. Why do they want to send us too far away.. So, there I think I might lost this interview... There are other questions but this is the most difficult one..

The most important things I've learned about my first interview is to bring all the reports you have and make sure the university you apply does not have branch in Sabah or Sarawak if You are not willing to work there! Still waiting for the next interview... My mom said she had 25 interviews before she trully got a job (Wow! Awesome!) Waiting and waiting... Hope I will do it better next time!

p/s : To my sister - you are so lucky because as a doctor there are no job interview.. No need to sell your self.. Just wait until JPA called, mock interview and BOOM!! You are now a doctor! So, belajar le rerajin yek!

Green and Refreshing Cameroon Highlands...

It is getting hot everyday.. For those who lives at Ipoh, Perak thy will feel what I feel everyday.. Hot and dry! Huhu.. Even at night it feels really hot that you will feel uncomfortable to sleep.. I saw from news that the IPU (Indeks Pencemaran Udara) or API (Air Pollution Index) in Ipoh is really high almost 68.. That's why it is getting hotter everyday plus it almost a week since last rain!

So, my family went to Cameroon Highlands last week.. Just want to run away from this hot weather.. Haha.. Not too far from my house around 1 hour and 15 minutes driving (this is a very relax driving, you will get there faster if you drive faster.. haha).. Since the name was highlands, of course it is a high land... The trip there a little bit messy because the road was never straight, always turn and turn and turn until you feel dizzy sometimes...

As we reach up the t Kg. Raja, we started to feel the cold breeze.. Something was really refreshing! Cameroon Highlands is a place where you can get many types of vegetables and fruits here such as strawberry, corn, carrot, and many more... But the main attraction here is the cold breeze since Malaysia weather is not really cold especially right now.. haha.. But here, the weather is very nice that's make the vegetables and flowers can grows here..

Here are some pictures I take,

Flowers! and more below,

Strawberry! However this is not the right season, so there are not many strawberries right now.. Huhu..

Tea leaves! Here you can not only buy fresh tea but you can also touch the fresh tea leaves! The tea plants does not look tasty for me but the tea produced from it was superb! Hehe.. Here are photos of tea farm...

A very big tea farm! Greean and refreshing! Below are the tea plant, only the young leaves were used to make tea...

That's all picture I have... Thanks for reading...

From Swine Flu to Influenza A H1N1

I'm sorry if there are something wrong facts I've given in this post.. Just want to share my information about the latest disease attacking people all over the world nowadays, influeza A H1N1.. Ok, last night I watch a TV forum on TV9 (Malaysia local TV) the topic of Swine Flu where they discuss in the perspective of islamic view...

What interest me the most is when they discuss how from the first outbreak of this disease they call it swine flu, but now they changed it to influenza A H1N1.. Here is the reason.. At first, the swine flu only attact pigs, where some pigs wil die from it, but at the same time, there exist other flu such as bird flu from the birds which also attact the pigs.. There also human flu which also inside the pigs.. Haha.. Too much things! Now even I having headache..

Simply, pigs have a ability to accept all types of virus from human flu, bird flu and also swine flu and also at the same time, pigs also has the ability to recreate this virus into another types of virus which is dangerous to us human that they called it influeza A H1N1 (this is the name of the disease)... So, the mastermind here is the pigs!

That's why when the first outbreak they called if swine flu, but WHO changed it to a more accurate flu that now they called it inluenza A H1N1.. As we know, the spreading of flu is by the air.. So this is a very dangerous disease! Actually this influenza A H1NA has attack human once on 1918 which killed 50-100 million people (I read it on wikipedia).. So, this disease is back!

In Islam, we cannot eat pigs! In Al-Qur'an also, Allah S.W.T has said many time for us to avoid dealing with this pigs because they can cause many disease since for pigs everything is food.. Even other religion forbid us to eat something that will harm ourself in this case pigs! So, no offense PIGS!

Above is the diagram I've got from wikipedia.. Maybe you can click the link for more information.. wikipedia

So, stay healthy, avoid cigarettes, drugs and pigs!

Code Blue

Code Blue is a drama about four young doctor who applied to work on an special emergency field of Shoyo University Hospital that are called "Doctor Heli". They are Aizawa Kosaku acted by Yamashita Tomohisa, Shiraishi Megumi acted by Aragaki Yui, Hiyama Mihoko acted by Toda Erika, Fujikawa Kazuo acted by Asari Yousuke and one young flight nurse, Saejima Haruka acted by Higa Magami.

As a newbie they had a lot of trouble when they first ride on the helicopter to provide an emergency treatment. Sometime they had to operate at the emergency field, sometime the emergency field was too extreme where lots of people were injured.. However from time to time they manage to survive it and saves lots of life!

The biggest conflict in this drama is when their supervisor, Tadokoro Yoshiaki acted Kadoma Kiyoshi caught in the accident when he help to save Shiraishi from a falling steel.. His condition is very worst that they nedd to amputate his right hand in order for him to survive.. Even they at last manage to reconnect his hand, however the condition is very worst and it takes longer for the hand to be fully functioning...

Shirashi feel very guilty about the incident, the same also happen to Aizawa who amputated Tadokoro hand... However, there are good thing happen to Tadokoro when he met his son and because of the injury he and his wife (they are divorce) relation getting better... His son even called him "Otousan" for the first time..

Tadokoro even he cannot do an operation again, he feel relief about it and he talk to his intern for them to continue saving life... The last emergency case involve hundred of victims where they only manage to save some of them.. But it make them feel more stronger...

If it can be treated one second earlier, the heart might start beating again.
If there is one extra helicopter, another life in danger may be saved.
If one more life can be saved, the Japanese medical community may regain trust.
There are more lives in this country that can be saved.

For those who like to watch medical drama, I would like to recommend this!
