Intervene

2011-02-26T08:42:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Morning guys.

Yeah, it's been an earlier morning. I'm talking about 12.03 am right now and it happens that I've some interesting stuff that I want to talk about.

How many of you guys ever watch any anime out there? It is a Japanese some sort of cartoon like but they called it as an Anime. If you ever closely about the theme for some serious anime out there, most of the Anime has a very common tagline for the main character (heroes)

- Don't ever give up
- I definitely protect those important to me
- I' sorry, let me handle this, please take care others for me.
- No matter how hard it gets, I will go through it
- .... and others

From the anime, Naruto,the best tagline that I always like is to never give up even though the challenge is hard, to keep on fighting no matter what and try to go through your ambition. Let say in real life, if you want to become an engineer, so never let other people to decline what you are about to become.

The important stuff that I really like to highlight is the spirit of getting yourself in better and have a good life. To proceed with your ambition and at the same time maintaining and improving the way of your life is the most important stuff you must do in your life.

I have heard a story that there is a person A that told the other person B to not giving up job just because to take of her new born baby. The reason is quite simple as the person A said this is what happened in the future, the baby soon is not going to stay with you in the future and don't want to take care 100% of you when they are about to grow up.

For me, it is the choice that has to be made by every new mom in this world or any person who are getting married. That is why most of the big town, suffering a problem called "where money is the most important to keep on living in this big city". Yep, it is quite true because of the nature of human being that stay inside the big city. You and your wife must be struggled to work because of the daily expense is quite bigger and bigger every 5 years. Most of RM3000 household income even don't have a home to buy in the future if they are not getting themselves promoted into high salary income. Poor guy, if they just move to the "not so big city" or just some ordinary town , they might have a house to buy or even a land that cost only RM10 per square feet. Wow, that is only RM100K for 10k per square feet (100 x 100 feet).

To be honest, I'm talking about the time you have spend with your family. Imagine for the time that you have spend all together. Today community does not have time to keep looking at their sons and daughters at home and just let their grandmother or grandfather to let after them. Well, it is not me to decide because I am the one who give an opinion and I don't give a da*m whether you still want to read it or not. Don't put hatred into your heart because that is the reason why you will have an heart attack. Btw, just kidding. But, back to the discussion, it seems, today, partially some of human in this world got nothing to do anymore instead of pursuing for more money and got fewer time to spend for after life. What would you bring for your after life? That is the question you must willing to answer carefully and honestly.

Another important stuff that you need to remember that you are the one that decide what is the best for you and your family. I'm not the one who decide everything because I'm not going to intervene with your life. As long as you are happy with that life, then it is ok. For me, I want to watch my future children daily life, I want to remember how they become bigger every single day. Not just during the weekend and watch them sleep at night, but play with them in the evening after hard work from 8 to 5. Because, I can wake up earlier money from 2 am to 5 am to do my research work and sleep back after Subuh prayer, then take a nap for 30 minutes to 1 hour. As a human, all I can do is to plan. I don't know what happened if I'm not planning.

So, that it is for time being, It is just being nice to write something because that is the nature that I've found after a few years of doing research. Thanks to my fiancee(soon to be my wife) and my family and also my supervisor that gave me an opportunity to do my master (now PhD). So, what ever you do, you must be able to like it. Just I'm always like to write. It is just happened I don't have time to write abook yet. But in the future, after I'm getting my PhD, for sure that should be a plan for that. (Again, another plan).

So, see ya, Good night and have a nice sleep.

A Perspective of Further Study - Master By Research versus Coursework (v2)

2011-02-25T07:11:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening,

Well, this is the newest entry for this year of 2011. And to be honest, this post is talking about the differences between taking master either by research or coursework. It seems most of us seems to be a little bit confuse about what path for them to take. Of course, after finished or completed your study in Bachelor Degree, you somehow felt that it is still long way to go in this world of knowledge. You want to contribute something even though you notice that you are not about to make money but for the sake of our grandson in the future, you want to make their life better by improving their lifestyle. One of the path is by taking master and phd or just become a plain researcher to produce better product.

Here the cycle, as a researcher, you might start with a fundamental problem that you need to tackle. From that, within 2 or 3 years of doing your research, you found something interesting and start publishing your paper about it. Then, various company or stakeholders or the government that gave your supervisor/university the grant will try to start developing product. Of course, at first you need to be clear whether you can patent your finding or not. Because it depends on the people or institution that gave you the money. Depend on agreement you've made with them, from the first time you signed agreement to do your research. Of course, money is important in order to pay you for your research. Without money, how you could ever survive doing research 24/7.

So, a product will come at last and then the people out there will start to buy it. And then the next cycle continue and research, company, government and others will start play their roles.

Back to the topic, you are choosing your dream to become one of the Nobel recipient by upgrading your degree to the higher one. but you need to choose which path. Either by coursework or research. And I want to list them again even though I've made this article few months ago but this article seems to be a little bit upgrade.

We start by research because this is the path that I've chose. To earn your master by research actually takes longer than the by coursework. It depends. Somehow you can graduated at the same time as the coursework because you are smart or you are not smart. Why? You are 100% control of your research. If you are good at it, then for sure you are going to excel at it and complete your master by research within a year or 1 and half year. That is for smart people and we always thanks to them because we have a brilliant people there. But for a normal people or maybe above average just like myself, I've manged to complete my master by research within 2 years and half. Actually, I've completed it within 1 year and half but for 1 year, I've just need to write my thesis and took longer just to fix my broken english. I'm so sorry if my english is not for some of you. But, I'm about to improve it from time to time. Even though I don't have enough time to go to English class. But , I'm trying to fix it.

And then, what so smart about taking master by research, is you are going to publish some papers either in conferences or journal articles. For sure you guys should have known that journal is a little bit complicated because their reviewers area really from the expert. Maybe four to five people (that have Professorships maybe) to review your lame paper. Then, you got rejected because of your poor writing skills, bad english, not enough graph, not enough evidence, lack contents, etc. But fear not, that is normal, all you have to do is to fix it. That is what everyone does. That is what all the Professor out there has been through. 20 years ago, they are also not good at it, but finally they continue to struggle to write and fix the paper. That is also why they were Professor. They were given the status because of their experience in their area. Hence, you will learn a good skill = writing papers/articles,etc

Next fun things about doing research, you are in control of your own research life. You are not about to go to the class and learn some boring stuff but you are on your own track of research. You are about to do what you like at most because research is something that you have chose before. You find a right supervisor with the research that you like and you start doing and digging the web about it. You learn what you are supposed to learn. You are doing well and better than everyone in the class. Compared to the coursework, they are going to learn all stuff and what they are going to do in their final semester is to make a simple project. That is all for coursework, but for research, you are about to pull out new or improve theory about some stuff. You contributing to human history, and your name at least is one among the researchers that will help other researchers to find something. Imagine, the technology of collision detection for example. Today you help by finding the best possible theory and algorithm to improve the speed of collision by maximizing the potential use of Bounding-Volume with the Distance Computation algorithm. Later in the future, somebody, based on one of your finding, will help that future researcher to produce more efficient algorithm. Thanks to you that you have helped him to save a lot of time and all he got to do is to improve it. Research is something that always fun and that is why most of researchers intend to stay until late night because they are doing something fun in their life. Research is their life. Nobody cannot say "NO" to research, You neighbor, mother, father, son, and every human in this world is doing research. For example, person A want to travel to the north, all he has to do is to find the transportation, fare cost, and any other cost. He needs to have a good budget for him to travel. If it is not, then he might just do a small research. Just to think when to start traveling is also a research.

Now, back to the topic again, clearly, doing research is good for anybody, even though it might takes longer than the coursework, but it is fun and you are contributing more than the coursework. You helping people a lot more and your understand better than other people. And doing research is not all alone. You need to find other researcher in the same area and discuss from time to time. One of the nearest is your supervisor. Make your supervisor your close friend. This is to develop a good interest in research.

You also might realize that when doing research, you can travel to the country you might not have been. This can be done if your supervisor have a research grant, and most supervisor did have a research grant, at least one. So, using the budget, you can publish paper to any conference in this world as long as it is good to be there. Publish to the high impact conference is good for your research. Once you presenting your ideas, people will start asking you. Compared to the non-high impact research conference that mix all in one, you might not have a better chance of getting feedback about your research. And most conference just want to take your money, so better be careful in publishing your paper. But somehow it is nice to present the paper in no-so-high impact conference. Why? because you have never been to country A, so all you need to do is to write up a just so-so paper and send for acceptance (mostly they will 99% accept it if your paper included 3 basic stuff - contribution, graph, analysis). So, you can go and have a nice holiday free of charge at the Country A.

Doing research is also depend on what kind of supervisor you have chosen. You must be able to choose a good supervisor to supervise your work. Because your supervisor must be someone that can grab you when you fall down. it is supervisor responsible to train somebody to become a good researcher. Otherwise, that supervisor is just meant to be just an ordinary lecturer and not a good researcher. Btw, there is a lot of stuff you can do if it is happened you have supervisor like that = just be honest. Tell him that you are not understand and want to discuss, make him or her (your supervisor) realize their roles in supervising their master/PhD student. Act now and don't wait.

Momentum for doing master also important for you guys out there. As a researcher, somehow you must managed your time and vacation properly. Don't take so long vacation because that just make you become lazy when the vacation is over. it is true, It already had been my worse nightmare and it took me almost 2 weeks to recover and start doing some research. But, I realized that later and keep my momentum always in standard mode so I can back in the research work that I've been left out before went for vacation.

So, there is a lot of stuff you need to do when doing your research but it is fun if you really like to do research. Trust me, research is part of our life, and it is our responsible to keep the research going in our daily life. That is for today, thanks for reading my blog. Thank you.

When December End

2010-12-22T06:02:00.000-08:00

Finally we are going to move into another year of 2011.

Why not Jeans?

2010-11-26T15:00:00.000-08:00

Salam to all,

Today I would like to speak for a spesific stuff. Mainly on why not we wear jeans when entering the jungle for tough activities?

Some of the Malaysia government program now days is designed to have a so called "Kembara Hutan" or what ever people might called it.

Most of the instructor were asked to make sure the student or the participant wear a suitable clothes such as T-Shirt and a track suit.

But, do they think about what happens if some of the insect or dangerous plant (with thorns) go to tickle your body?

The reason why they want you to wear track suit because it is less expensive and very light. But it also has big disadvantage over those thorns plant. Not to mention that in the jungle even if it is something going to bite you, at least jeans give more protection than your track suit.

People just intend to wear tracksuit because they only think that jeans is for only casual wear and not for tough and rugged activity.

But, there is a rule. That jeans must meet certain conditions before going out to the jungle
- It must not very tight - so you can be able to move your leg, etc
- It must also very good denim - might be expensive but it can save your butt when you sit in the jungle

So, why not jeans?

When you are telling the truth and talking about the truth

2010-10-30T04:44:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Speaking about the truth, is always something that is not annoying the person that is telling, but it is most importantly, annoying the person that always lying.

This is rather based on my experience when working at the government sector. When you are telling the truth, not much people will stay on your side because all they want is to become silent and not to tell everyone about it.

It is just to maintain the working environment even though some of them is lying to each other. For example, person A really hate so much the organization that currently been lead by person B, But person B also is not really like person B. However, when they suddenly or incidentally meet each other either inside lift or escalator, they intend to pretend to each other especially when in public.

For a big company?

Most of them is keep lying their clients and customers. Nothing comes free when there is dealing happens. All is just a business and not for the sake for the humanity. Most of them just claim that they are champion of humanity but all they do is just make people on the other side suffers. There is NO SUCH THING AS WIN-WIN situation in this world. They just claim about it. In Islam, we need to lose something if we want to win something. You need something to lose before you got something to win.

You can jog around 4 to 5 km per day and enjoying it but you cannot play badminton at the same time. So, if today you are about to jog around 4 to 5 km, tomorrow you are going to play badminton.

Truth has a lot and many different perspective that must be taken into account. Telling the truth is not really the same as talking about the truth. You could always tell the truth but talking about the truth might annoying some people.

When you are starting to telling the truth, people will dislike you because you are the one to reveal the mistakes as some people are so afraid to tell the truth because it might lose them their job, their friends, etc. That is why some people in this world is gifted with a gift to tell the truth without nothing to lose. They can fight and stand up without even a glitch in their speech with a strong evidence and strong support. Even if the guy has retired/deceased/terminated, people still love the guy because of his stand up against the world of corruption.

There is also something I want to say about those in some big companies. They intend to keep on faking to each other about the partnership and no real life partnership has been through.

The real world today has been going through a lot of corruption especially Israel that always lies to the media around the world. But, some of the media already know the truth and keep on revealing about the truth of Israel.

In my opinion, honestly, not much people is able to stand up and make changes. So, I'm going to break that and bring people to the real world and not a fake real world.

Just be honest, don't do it if you don't want it.

Ask about it if something fishy happens

Tell the truth if something happens (given that you are in good position and has a lot of strong supports)

Don't always stay in conform zone, "dakwah" must keep on move forward and keep telling people about the truth.

Stand with your own foot and with your statement.

That is it for today. Make your tomorrow life brighter with positive and maintain "telling the truth" everyday.

Your Future

2010-10-22T19:17:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Your future is somehow is not always accurate not matter what planned that you've developed during the past, Whether it is too big or too loose, you cannot define it by the correct measure.

Somehow, the thing that you are currently doing is not always the best thing you ever done because not much issues can be developed from that.

The best thing you can do right now is always to trust yourself no matter what happens

Your Career Path

2010-10-02T08:27:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Career path is something that you might have decided before your enter your first job

It is not something that only lasts for one or two years but it is simply just a waste of time if you don't carefully plan on it.

Time is always against us, no matter what kind of decision you've made, you must able to go through every step even it is failed as new decision will be ready for failed one.

As for me, I need to consider myself in career challenge where I need to sit down and think carefully about my career path. As the career itself or life path is something that you must never waste it, you must also keep on planning what to do next once it is failed.

Path :-

1. Be a lecturer at current university, but meantime register for PhD at some others local university. After 3 or 4 years, you've have obtained a PhD then you will decide to work with which university (left behind the application that you've submitted to one of the research university at your country capital.

2. Wait for your application for one of the research university at your country capital while applying for PhD at some local university under specific grant (Your supervisor have a grant). At a meantime maintain your work at current university but left once the application to one of research university has been accepted. But you got to choice here. Either the research university let you continue your study of PhD and then applying it back or try to ask them to support your study at the "some local university".

3. Just wait for your current university give you a chance to further your study. Require an additional two years in service before you have a chance to further your study.

4. Stay at your current university, apply for PhD and then after your have been permitted to further your study just ask your current university to support you for the rest of your PhD programme.

So, until now, it is a little bit confuse what I'm going to do but one thing in my mind is that I'm going to continue my PhD as soon as possible as I don't waste my research from my master to be wasted without doing anything to improve it.

Basically, it helps to plan with my fiancee as we need to move to capital. So, there is no plan staying at current university (70% not staying, 30% staying - my percentage of deciding decision).

Perhaps you as a readers can help me to choose as being a research/lecturer at research university is good for competitive about your research and there is so much culture of research there instead of normal university.

Normal university is good for your money as it helps you to get promoted earlier than any other guys at some research university that requires specific journals to be accepted (ISI, etc).

That is it for today, Thank you for listening.

Seminggu Selepas Raya

2010-09-18T00:20:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Well, how your life today?

Found something is missing?

Back then, a week before 1 Syawal 1431, our heart felt something that we really missed. Our family, our gathering of relatives and friends. Not to mention to few couples that celebrate Syawal as husband and wife for the first time. All these exciting moment is always been waiting for certain individuals.

After a week of raya, almost all of us already went back to the place where we are working 9 to 5 for 5 days a week.

..

Itulah yang dikatakan sesuatu pengorbanan yang perlu dilakukan oleh semua pihak. Sesudah seminggu berhari raya, tiba masanya untuk anda pulang ke tempat kerja untuk bekerja.

Tidak dinafikan sesetengah individu tidak dapat pulang ber hari raya kerana perlu menjaga keselamatan negara dan juga yang bertungkus lumus membantu pesakit dalam mengharungi hidup mereka.

Dan juga ada yang tidak langsung mahu pulang ke kampung kerana kononnya terlalu sibuk di kota. Inilah antara golongan yang sangat tidak menghargai kehidupan yang diberikan oleh ibubapa mereka sejak kecil. Mereka dibesarkan dengan penuh kasih-sayang dan juga diberi pendidikan.

Walaupun ada yang tidak bernasib baik kerana ibubapa mereka mengalami masalah peribadi sehingga anak tidak dibesarkan dengan betul dan juga ada ibubapa yang terlalu lalai dan juga tidak bertanggungjawab dalam membesarkan anak2.

Namun, sebagai individu seperti anda yang boleh pulang ke kampung, berhari raya dan berjumpa sanak-saudara serta berjalan-jalan raya. Bersyukurlah kerana dikurniakan nikmat kehidupan yang segar walaupun anda tidak diberi kekayaan untuk memberi duit raya yang banyak.

Yang penting anda menjalankan tanggungjawab anda untuk pulang ke kampung dan berhari raya.

Tidak perlu anda berdukacita apabila cuti raya telah tamat dan anda perlu pulang ke lokasi kerja anda, kerana percayalah, pengorbanan yang anda lakukan diberi ganjaran yang besar disisi Allah S.W.T. dan ibubapa anda merestui anda.

Ingatlah jasa-jasa orang tua anda, dan apabila masa lapang, lawatilah mereka selalu kerana jauh dihati mereka, mereka ingin melihat kita selalu, melihat kita berjaya dan juga menjadi orang berguna.

Semoga anda menjalani tugas dengan baik selepas ini, hubungilah selalu keluarga anda kerana anda bekerja kerana Allah S.W.T. dan juga untuk kebahagian isteri, anak-anak, dan ibubapa anda.

Selamat Hari Raya, marilah kita berpuasa enam selama bulan Syawal yang masih ada ini.

Living your life to the fullest

2010-08-22T05:53:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

It has been a beautiful day today as this weekend I've spent my day with my fiancee family after brought my younger sister to visit his late friend family. I'm quite shocked how the friendship between those two actually means something for my sister.

True friend is not something you could never find it, but it will finds you. You might become friend with a lot of friends but there is only one or maximum 2 or 3 true friends you ever find it. No matter how many friends you've claimed they are loyal to you but in the end there is only a few friends that actually really close to you.

Speaking of the life that we all breath the same air everyday, it is quite amusing to no end when you friend suddenly passed away.

The same thing happens to my sister when she lost her best friend that got hit by a 4wd car.

At first, I've got mad with my sister because she didn't bring my mother together with her but after a few hour of rest and my mind become calm, I've felt that at least I can do something to make sure my sister not feel bad about her lost.

We've visited his late friend family and I also speechless about everything. I don't know how to react and same things happened when my late father died because of heart attack more than 2 years ago.

When my father died, I don't know how but I not even cry during that time except there is deep sad feeling inside my heart that cannot go out. It is just too shocked and believe me you even don't know how to react.

Back to the story again, what I've learned that life is something you shouldn't regret living for. Even though it is bad or not, think that life is only once and always trying to make it perfect.

But again, life is not something to be regretful when something bad happens.

No matter what happens, one must go through and keep moving forward

Live you life to the fullest and keep pressing your ambition .

Life is full of unexpected things

2010-08-15T06:34:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Yup, I've been called to write some article regarding "unexpected things" that will continue to happen in the future.

Today, I've been visited by my not-so-old friend which is on holiday for a couple of weeks. He was studying in one of the private university in Korea and we talked about life in Korea.

It is quite interesting to study there as we can learn a lot of their culture but in the same time, as a muslim we must take caution as not all things will going smooth as it seen.

Well, that is something that we must going through and keep push forward no matter what happens.

Just ask our self, are we ready to become a good person or not?

How to label a person as a good people or not?

How we define "Good"?

That is something that only God knows what's in your heart as it depends on your "want-to-do" or niat.

Jasin Tragedy - Sekolah Hamil + Kejadian Ribut

2010-08-14T09:21:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

First at all, Selamat Berpuasa untuk hari kelima pada keesokan harinya,

Yup, we already on the fifth day of Ramadhan.

Regarding the above title that I need to discuss, The tragedy seems to be related with the act of Melaka government to put unthinkable "Sekolah Hamil" at Jasin, Melaka.

Why we need such school in the first place?There is no need for such a school, just maintain the old school that we have is more than enough.

It is the responsible of their parents, teachers, and community including neighbor to "jaga tepi kain" in this social matters.

Why?The parent is so busy with all the money that come in everyday and don't put a lot of attentions to them. All they care is about money and nothing else. While some teachers does not know how to teach the students how to be good person. They only care about getting the syllabus completed and then wait for another year to come.

They don't want to be a teacher at the first place, they just want to earn some money.

That is the true color of our people now days. Lots of it. Lot of peoples.

Work = their first intention is just for money

Have they know that the reason we work is because we always wanted to become good person and we really like that career?

Example, Ahmad really likes to design some graphics stuff, even though the pay is small because of the career only depends on regular customer that come to his shop. However, it is because he really wanted to become graphics designer and help people that is going to have wedding ceremony by designing their invitation card. This is kind of people that we are going to talk about.

Not just some earn some money to support the family even though the family bought a nice Camry 2.0 with only salary for about RM5k. Just because both are working, so they are going to spend money buying nice car and just an average house but with empty stuff inside the house.

They are just pathetic that soon 1/3 of today marriage is about money and never wanted to give their beloved house and some of them even say they don't want to buy a house and let their wife to buy it because they are so pathetic.

Why they are so pathetic? They just think black in their heart that soon if they are going to "divorce", their wife will take the house if they bought it and put their wife name as second owner.

Their purpose of marriage is to get divorce and sex.

This is why our world is filled with pathetic and "black mind thinking" people.

Black is their thought. They are pathetic. And I don't know how many pathetic words has been used up until now in this article. I've felt so much hate with this kind of people who get married because of pathetic reason.

Especially man who think they are so smart but the truth is, there are so dumb.

They are not going to spend more money on their children and give them a Macbook at the age of 10 and teach them how to program.

In order to raise a kid, parent should realize that all these stuff is connected and soon it will shapes their personalities in the future.

If the parent, teacher, and community raise their child properly, there is no such thing as "Sekolah Hamil" candidate.

This is why Allah S.W.T gave a warning at the Bazaar Ramadhan near Jasin.

So, why we still so dumb to not listen to the Allah S.W.T. was trying to warn us?

Hopefully, the Malacca State Government will think again regarding this matter.

Selamat Berpuasa

2010-08-13T20:32:00.000-07:00

Salam,

Yup, bulan Ramadhan menjelma lagi.

Bila tiba bulan yang mulia ini, ramai bertanyakan kepada tarawikh sama ada pergi atau tidak, sedangkan puasa itu yang paling utama dahulu.

Berpuasa. Bagaimana anda memungkinkan kelainan untuk bulan puasa kali ini. So, a simple question might be thrown to our self. How you manage to differentiate this month with other 11 months?

Are you still going to watch some Avatar movies or some good movies for this August with your family?

Are you thinking of eating so many Ramadhan Buffet at nearest hotel even though you are quite "rich more than enough" to support it?

Are you going to sleep more and work less?

There are lot of questions that you must been thinking if you are going to properly shape how well your ramadhan this year. Given that situation, you might understand that there is nothing different but worse than any other months.Why?

In this month, a muslim himself must be able to give his heart and devote him self to Allah S.W.T.

In this ramadhan, as muslim you should:-

Bekerja lebih efisien dan lebih tawaduk dalam urusan kerja
Sentiasa menjaga percakapan dan tidak bercakap perkara-perkara yang sia-sia
Menjauhi tempat2 maksiat dan juga menjaga mata
Memperbanyakkan sedekah.
Menjimatkan wang walaupun sangat mampu untuk membeli semua yang dikehendaki, tetapi tujuan menjimatkan wang ini adalah semata-mata kerana kita berniat tidak mahu membazir. Sebaliknya perbanyakkan sedekah.
Tidak riak dalam mengerjakan ibadat seperti menanyakan rakan "Man, semalam ko buat tarawih tak?Aku buat 20 semalam, first time aku". Sebaliknya tidak perlu menyatakan sebegitu, jika orang bertanya, jawablah "sekadar yang mampu". Seorang muslim lain sepatutnya menjaga amal muslim yang lain, jadi tidak perlulah kita bertanyakan kepada beliau berapa byk pahala anda dapat pada hari ini dan sebagainya.
Bersenam secara biasa - Maksudnya tetap bersukan tetapi kadar yang lebih sederhana sedikit berbanding sebelumnya. Jika zaman Rasulullah S.A.W. baginda boleh berperang, mengapa kita perlu mengabaikan kesihatan diri. Senamlah sedikit at least berjalan sejauh 1 km secara teratur (pakaian sukan dan kasut).
Memakan manis-manisan seperti kurma. Belilah kurma yang semampu anda, kerana kurma ini amat tinggi khasiatnya dan manis yang berpatutan.
Menyibukan diri dengan majlis ilmu dan juga membaca Al-Quran. Jika boleh, tengah malam bacalah at least 1 page.
Dan pelbagai lagi.

Based on lists above, we can make sure our Ramadhan is something different and full of exciting moment in order to devote our self to our mighty God Allah S.W.T.

The Cunning Power Inside You!!!

2010-08-05T09:16:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Well, it is time for some motivation that require you to become what you want in this short life.

A cunning power inside you can become a great tool for you to encounter any mistakes that you might have done or to defend something.

Always trust yourself that you have right to defend yourself accordingly instead of just accept the reality. You can have your own judgment but it is not up to them to judge you.

As for me, I've never afraid to stand up if something wrong happens as long as I've something to proof that I'm not wrong.

I've also realized that whatever things you do, even it is small or big, it means something and we don't have a right to judge anything they have done.

I've believed that we are able to stand up if everybody play their roles accordingly and help each other to defend the good things.

Sometimes, even if I don't know quite a lot in some research areas, I still have an opportunity to ask and be part of it.

It is something that we should realize that one of DOSA-DOSA BESAR is NOT SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE BY HIDE IT FROM PEOPLE THAT WANTS TO LEARN.

We should know that even we are too tired to explain all of it, but you cannot lie. At least tell the person who wants to learn by asking after few hours from now or come back tomorrow.

Why should you keep it for yourself?Why you want to hide so badly the source code that you have?If you want to hide it, so why don't you teach the student the method to get it done?

Is it because of some negative thinking that "they are not going to learn if we keep give them the source code"?

I think, to put my source code online so they can download it, is the best thing I wish I can do. At least somebody will helps me to improve the source code by making it faster and low memory usage.

Sharing is good, even though there are some stuff that are not meant for sharing purpose.

Keep inform others about good things so they can learn.

Reinvention of your life

Salam to all,

Well, it is been too long since the last time I wrote something in this blog. (LOL, not again, the same sentence.haha). Btw, perhaps now it is time to say something that worth while waiting for my senate approval for my master.

Yup, 4th August 2010 is the day that I will get my master approved by the higher power of senate from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Why it is such a burden to wait for something especially for something that is so easy and can be done by someone that actually knew stuff from A to Z?

Why we need to wait for senate approval even though only the supervisor knew what you are doing and the supervisor can have a power to bring his success student to the senate meeting and get it done as fast as he could?

The only thing that actually block this country from continue to produce better academician is the way how they block the researchers from doing their work peacefully and easily.

Not to mention that all these process just make the researchers to become late at producing good research and also not to mention that most of old academician just lazy to read the thesis and took few months to complete it.

My friend told me that during his study at UK, the examiner only took a month just to read his thesis and get his PhD in short time. VIVA = Senate Approved.

By why After Correction VIVA = Senate Approved happened in Malaysia?

As my generation, I will keep improving the system and I vow to change anything that I could in this academician world.

Just to let you know that whatever happens, it happens and we must keep pressing forward with a smile in our face.yeah! Get it done guys!! You will make it no matter what happens, your path is only your decision and not others.

Bring it on and keep pressing forward!!

Undisputed Linearity

2010-07-21T03:25:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Well, It is been a good day for me and bad day for me. But it is time for me to keep pressing forward whatever thing happens in the future. Even though I've might be able to stand up and fight, but I think it is better to know how the politics real have impact in our life.

Yes, politics.

Past few weeks ago, a government body sent an invitation to every academician to attend some sort of very good seminar which is "First Come First Serve". It is a good planning by this government body to help researcher to build up their research skills and exchange ideas with other peoples. Without any delay, I've submitted my application through the website and last week I've got an official email and also letter from the faculty that I'm able to attend it.

But things changed at sudden where higher power stated a new rule that will not mention to lower class academician like me but only through faculty representation. This new rule is told through a phone that I cannot attend that seminar even though the seminar is supposed to open to every academician in Malaysia.

No strong reason and no official letter stated that but it just through faculty rep. Only Dr, and PM status be able to attend...

So, whats the point of having them to go there as they already got so enough skills in research and development but block the younger generation to become what they want?

It is something that a traditional way of "how only senior can go first and then junior"? It is ok for certain cases but for something that is opened to everybody, where everyone has their own chance, it is quite sad.

I'm quite upset with this but I still got to reply with force "Ok, then I withdraw from the seminar.." with a "Berat Hati"

So much power has been used and no wonder what happens to somebody that has been abused just because of the power of higher rank.

I think, I need to think back what happens to me and keep on ask for forgiveness for any mistakes that I've might done as every little bad things must have some sort of bad things that we were doing before.

Maybe I'm not concentrate enough with my work, or maybe it is because to tell me that I'm still need to learn many things.

But I know, Semua Itu Ada Hikmahnya.

Wallahualam.

End of July 2010

2010-07-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

It is already nearly end of July where all government officers will get their paycheck and use it for upcoming Ramadhan. Including myself, I rather need to spend my money wisely as my wedding ceremony is going to use reasonable amount of money. But it is not on this year but in 2011.

Well, its been a while since the last time I wrote down some articles in my blog that most of the articles are about getting my master done and some frustration with it. It is not the master itself is annoying but it is the process of getting your master submitted for senate approval after your master completion. Even though you have your result ready within a year, but it still requires another 1 year to complete your thesis as I am also do not have reasonable reason of why the process is very slow.

Compared to what of my friend told me (which is he is a PhD holder from UK), his previous university where he were taken his PhD only took 1 month for examiner to read his dissertation and prepared for viva. Well, that situation is not happen in this country (our beloved Malaysia) where the process of getting your dissertation read by the examiner is somehow stretch up to 3 - 6 months or maybe longer.

I think it is the our community itself that must be changed where the postgraduate office must give them only 1 month to read the thesis and send back the reviewed dissertation. And then the viva session can be ready within two months from the day you've submitted your thesis for VIVA.

It requires all of us to make this process of transformation run smoothly without any delay for the student to get their research recognize and help the student too do something better while waiting for few months of VIVA.

I'm not going to take more than 1 month to read somebody thesis as new generation must be able to produce something better than previous generation. Time is against us and don't let student suffers (by waiting). It is best to give them an opportunity to excel and something better to do while waiting and not just wasting their time for the job. Or perhaps Senate may be able to back date the approval to the viva day in case for salary increment especially for government officer in academic world (university).

Well, thats it for today, it is nearly 4.00 am in the morning and I don't know why I suddenly want to start writing something and throw some ideas and suggestion in this blog. I'm also need to handle 65 students of first year Diploma student for mathematics subject.

Thesis is Submitted (Hard Binding Copy) for SENATE APPROVAL

2010-07-17T02:54:00.000-07:00

Yup,

Finally after 3 days continuously reformatting my thesis for submission. I've got it in hard cover binding (3 copies) and send it to PPS FSKSM at D07 just 2 minutes before 5.00 pm on Friday evening.yeah.

Now , just waiting for senate approval on august 4, 2010.

[UPDATED]MY THESIS IS READY TO BE SUBMITTED for SENATE MEETING (AUGUST 2010)

2010-07-06T05:03:00.001-07:00

ALHAMDULILLAH.
Finally, my thesis is on the very final stage of submission where the examiner has signed my corrected thesis. Now it is time to prepare hard binding copy in order to be submitted for senate meeting.
What's more, after a few years of struggling, finally it comes to this. For so long I've waited for my thesis to be in the senate meeting, Now it is time for that.

Just I need to prepare at least 3 hard binding copies. or 4 if I want it.
Just stay update with me. yeah!!

Beginning to write

2010-07-04T17:25:00.000-07:00

Salam,

There is another thing that I need to share with you guys this morning before heading to meeting room. Yup, I have a meeting starting from 8.30 am till 5.00 pm. What a stretch.

So, it is about master in research at some local universities in Malaysia. As you guys know, It is a little bit annoying to do research for master degree in some local universities. My fiance just showed me a facebook of my friend adi, who will get married within this week, There, I've found some comments that stated that he still cannot submit his thesis due to a need to improve the contents of his thesis. Wow, some cool, Now somebody out there knew that the truth of master in research.

Wait, I'm not talking about PhD. PhD is something that 100% similar with master by research just a little bit deeper. But to to master in research for 3 years but still no answer, that is somehow another sad thing to begin with.

As you guys know, I'm still waiting for my master to get examined by the examiner after correction and then the SPS needs to check it for formatting and then I need to submit back final version (hard binding) copies and hand out again to SPS.

But the question is, why it is taken so long just to complete the thesis? it is worth of gold for our thesis to be considered as perfect? Why not give the student a senate approval first before making some corrections? Why not VIVA be the answer for all these?

it depends on the supervisor whether to highlight it or not. But one thing for sure that i've learned from this. Never ever apply for master in research if you go for fast track. Take coursework and then do your PhD after that.

But if you already and willing to obtain master by research, face all the consequences and then ask yourself whether yourself is worthy to make such a research.

That it is. Good Morning to all.

Have a better life.

[Updated] The Process of Master By Research

2010-07-02T18:26:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Well, while waiting for my my younger brother to settle down his registration in UTM skudai, here at P16, FKE, I think it is best for me to tell a story about my master by research. I'm going to tell a story on how it started and how is going to end. I will not mention any bad things but I just only state what is the process of getting master by research degree.

It started in the end of year 2007, where there is one lecturer from FKE tell me about an opportunity of becoming Research Officer + Master. Wow, it is great to know such scheme but when I've met the lecturer (my supervisor), the story is not the same. It is so called Research Student Grant (RSG), where you got paid for certain amounts of money per month.

At first I've never wanted to have master by research at this computer science faculty, but my supervisor asked me a lot until I've changed my mind because he told me that master by research can be done in 1 year and I think I've remembered that He was saying that I was going to have master by only taken 1 and half year. Sound goods, so, I've taken that opportunity during that time.

Then, when I've started to begin my so called research, for the first semester, I've been asked to write a first paper.

[Change to Malay Bahasa]

Pada bulan April 2008, paper tersebut siap dan perlu dipresent di Singapore dimana saya mendapati present paper ini amat bagus. Tetapi, saya masih lagi berada diawangan dimana terdapat banyak lagi yang perlu dipelajari.

Oleh itu, sepanjang Tahun 2008, banyak masa dihabiskan untuk membuat paper tanpa menyedari saya perlu come out with a technique for the master. In 2008 too, my father passed away and that have great impact for my study. But it is a positive impact that I've already knew - "Always remember that younger generation will always surpass older generation". So, it is my time to shine as my father already helped me during my study. He contributed a lot to the country and now I'll do the same but with a lot more.

Ok, When the year 2009 came, I've begin to understand that I must do something to come out with a solution for my research. It is not a time too play anymore, my fiance helped me from a darkness. She is the one who helped me a lot to go through all the mistakes I've done, and I'll always love her forever.

Finally, on May 2009, I've completed my master and it was a time to write a thesis. So, in August 2009, I've successfully became staff member of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka while my master is still in the process of getting review my supervisor. Then, on the October 2009, I've submitted my thesis to the SPS.

In the year 2010, or February 2010, I've defended my master for 3 hours and success. Although there was some corrections that needs to done. But it is quite ok. So, I've completely corrected my thesis in April but still my supervisor needs to check it.

So, another corrected version has been done and submitted to the SPS at the end of May 2010/early June 2010 (I can't remember).

My abstract has undergone countless checks with the various people and I've finally get my abstract accepted.

But still, I need to wait for examiner who currently undergoing "Tabligh" before he sign my thesis. So, it seems it takes another 1 month or maybe 2 for my thesis to get reviewed by senate.

I've only can pray for the best so hopefully my master is getting there soon (senate meeting) and approve my thesis.

And 1 thing I've learned right now. Master by research is a long process compared to master by coursework. Sometime it is better to get job done earlier than later.

I've set thing in my mind that I'm going to have some rest before PhD degree. I'll follow the guideline of my university before making any unreasonable choice.

Thank you.

Two things

2010-07-02T06:11:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Well, just a short post about two things that I've learned today from the computer games that I've currently player. second one is from naruto series.

For the first thing, I've learned that revenge just bring yourself worse than the person that did the same thing to you. Why the game tried to bring such a simple words for us to think for a minute?

Back to the game again, his mission is to kill someone who have betrayed him for the last 10 years. For 10 years this person already did something to him. Back to 10 years ago, the main character of this game is in military, He came from special force like some sort of Commando or something that really good. It consists of almost 13 persons that all have very tough training and they actually are very good in every mission. But one of them betrayed the group and told the enemy about their location when they are currently in a mission. So, enemy stroked them first and only 3 persons alive. Niko (the main character), Bennie (Not the guy who did this), and this guy called Darko. So, finally when Niko found this guy that already been captured by the police that helped Niko. Niko just walk away after found that even this guy Darko had a very difficult life even though Darko did all this.

So,

Why after 10 years of revenge, finally Niko walked away?

From what I've learned, I've chosen a walk away as I think revenge is not the answer for all wrong things in this world.

It just bring chain of hatred to become bigger and at the end, there is no good thing left in this world. Revenge is totally different with so called justice. Justice is to let the rules of the world to come forward. Revenge is too sad but the justice is where both people face each other and forgive each other. If the person who did this is going to sentence to dead, then let the justice do it.

It is too complicated to tell it here or discuss it. As my knowledge is limited for this kind of things, but I did remember one thing, Let the God decide what to do with the people who did wrong things to us. It is not our business. Let us pray for the happiness of our life and make the bad things go very very far away.

Ok, what is the second thing that I've mentioned before? Oh, It is something that I think that have a great power does not mean that you feel happy about it.

I still working on it. But that is for tonight.

Good Night reader.

Life Starts

2010-06-30T12:26:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum and Good Morning at 3.08 AM right now,

Well, still wake up and do some works for the upcoming weeks. By the way, I've got something to share with all of us. Something that hopefully make us want to think or at least use our brain to have some critical thinking regarding what we are supposed to do in our short life.

As the clock ticking, right now is already 3.10 AM. 2 minutes has passed after I wrote down the above sentences. Well, time is something that will never turning back, All we can do is what we must do within the time that is given to us.

Most of my friends right now will continue their study within next week or some needs to wait for another chance which is on December 2010.

It happens that, I've lot of research that need to be done within 1 year duration and still a long way to go for something that we can call it as a successful person. Meet up few important people during the conferences actually help us to determine how we can become almost like them or surpass them and live up with the high expectation from various people.

Life is something that cannot be thrown away in the simple matter. Life is short. Time always against us. I've remembered during the first time I'm registered at this university after my supervisor cannot afford to give me some grant money for me to survive during the master session.

From the very beginning, I want to continue my master in engineering field, but my supervisor for my master degree insists that I'm going to complete it within at most 1 and half year. I think I don't want to prefer master by research during that time but I've made my decision but interestingly, I'm always ready for any research that I'm currently handled.

The process of submission my thesis, however, is quite interesting as I've never know that this could lead for almost another 1 and half year just to complete it. I've never been told about the process of getting master by research, consumes a lot of time. Estimated time for master by research is about 2 years at minimum and 3 years for standard.

I'm thinking that I'm supposed to tell the others that getting master by research needs more time compared to the coursework. However, your research is outstanding and come out with various papers name it either internationally, locally, some good journals, or very high impact journals and proceedings.

It depends on how you are going to establish your life. We must have our own direction. Come to think about it, at least for a minute or few minutes, about what we are going to plan for the next 20 years.

Life is never been easy for most of all. We are not rich than other persons. Even though the struggle is quite hard at the very beginning, but sometime "time" is required in order to make our self have our own direction and set up our life.

I'm going to teach Fundamental Math/Elementary Math in the next 2 weeks. So, I'm going to become good educator and teach what I'm supposed to teach. If some of them is going to fail, so be it. It is just a how we honor the subject that is given to us to teach this person to become really good students and helps the faculty to maintain its position between other faculties. or perhaps between all local universities faculty.

Each day, we are waiting for something else in the future, it is truly remarkable that Allah S.W.T gave us a mind to think ahead and keep on striking for a better future.

We might want to become good leader, important keynote speaker, or someone else that has reputable knowledge in research and academic areas.

Corresponding to this, we must make sure that our life is full of interesting activities that could balanced between world and after world.

The decision is up to you.

Change now or wait to be changed.

29th June 2010 and 30th June 2010

2010-06-29T13:33:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Yesterday I went to the final day of MUCET 2010 and that is great day as during the dinner I've got myself an award for my poster presentation which is based on paper itself but in poster category. 10 posters is selected from almost 80 posters.

The dinner went well with chinese food that can be considered as "not bad" as I've seen some other hotel that provided very good food for a dinner (which is during Majlis Pra Graduan in the year 2007 or 2008). I cannot remember the exact year or date because it was 2 or 3 years ago. But I think it is in the year 2007.

So, I've captured a video by Proton Manager (Group Managing Director) , Dato' Syed Zainal that gave us very good speech of Proton company. The second keynote speaker however, it is not as best as the first speaker during the day.

So, what I'm going to complete my BEM registration for my faculty requirement that I'm currently postponed it for almost 1 year. And also to settle the administration work.

Good Morning Malaysia

2010-06-24T16:00:00.000-07:00

Salam and Good Morning all

June 2010 will be ended in few days and I've noticed that time that actually been given to us is never stop unless we can catch it with something beneficial for our own life.

Some conferences in Melaka and need to go to the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia to send my little brother who get himself an entry for Bachelor of Engineering (Computer) at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. It is already 7 years since the last time I've entered that faculty and then continue my master at the different faculty.

Lot of things already been changed but there are some that still remains unchange.

My master thesis is still in vague where I need to way for examiner (local) to come and get it done by check the thesis if he wants.

I don't know why they could not just give the senate approval as soon as possible. But since in february 2010, this thing brought nothing but a so long waiting just to get the signature. The process of correction took only a little time or as long as 1 month but it still needs to wait for people to sign it.

Well, I've just need to hope everything is going to be fine as I even don't know what is coming in the future. But I think , I need to concentrate on my graphics research.

May-June 2010 is a period where I'm quite lazy to write even a single paper but I still need to lay low for awhile. I going to start and resume back all my research paper writing on July 2010 (first week) which is wake up at 4 am and then going to work before 7.30 am and back after Mahgrib prayer.

I'm targetting for at least 3 more papers for this year and continue to read research paper to improve my knowledge of research. I also granted with a PJP grant this year to support my PhD project. I don't know when to continue my PhD but I need to keep on researching for solution.

Well, that is it for today. Happy life yeah.

How to get your thesis (master by research) published in your university library

2010-06-19T08:32:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum,

As always, I would like to share my experience on how do you manage to publish your thesis after very very tough process has been undergone.

Process One : You assemble your thesis, after you have done a lot of work, without powerful proof read (as you don't have money to support one), so you just give it to your supervisor to check for it (This process might takes forever as it totally depends on your supervisor, whether he/she is very busy or just play busy). It might takes let say 2 or 3 months to complete.

Process Two : Great!, now it is time to send for review in order to get your thesis read by examiner within few months (LOL. Another 3 months and sometimes it takes more than 3 months, let say 6 months). I don't even know what they are going to catch in your thesis. You just need to be ready for whatever comments it might be.

Process Three: Yeah! It is time for viva examination, after 6 months just to wait for some high educators to read your thesis and correct and complain about it, it is time for your defense.

Process Four: Yup, finally your master survived, It is time to repair according to what the examiners was saying during your viva session. They will give you another 3 to 6 months. (LOL)

Process Five: You fix your thesis, send to proof read and send back to your supervisor (repeat this process for more than 2 times if your thesis really sucks, btw, it has lot of improvements).

Process Six: Now it is time for submission after correction. Wait! you need to send a separate form of Abstract Approval. This time even the abstract panel needs to check your abstract = you will need to correct it. AND THEN, another correction with the post graduate office academician in charge (Head of department of SPS) will check your abstract. Another few days I think.

Process Seven: It is time to wait your examiner to check your thesis after some corrections has been done by you. But, if the examiner in vacation, you need to wait for it. Maybe a week?weeks?month?or months?

Process Eight : If you are lucky bastard, your thesis will be prepared for senate after examiner already check your thesis. Otherwise, you still need to perform some corrections after this.(I'm waiting for Process Eight to begin, still waiting. Already nearly 1 year of this thesis things).

Process Nine: It is time for senate meeting!!!

Process Ten: Correction? I don't know. whether you are very lucky or not. It depends.

Process Eleven: Prepare binding copy and hard copy.

Process Twelve: Finally your thesis will be appeared at your university library where I think no one will ever found it unless someone from your own department or some guys from the same field (from other universities too).

Begin to understand…

2010-06-12T03:52:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum,

Today, I'm beginning to understand why Allah created us in various ways, various unique ways and most interesting, the Greatest Power ever of Allah S.W.T -> all human is never be the same as the other and it is perfect.

How you feel about your life now? Regret?Happy?Rich?Poor?..

This answer is always stuck in our head but when I'm thinking about it continuously and try to figure out why
"desire" is something that human must not follow but the way of Islam is the one that human must follow. I've got an answer using the greatest creation by Allah, our mind and Al-Quran and Hadith.

Some people is not wish to born in poor family
Most people wish to born in rich family
Some people want to get the highest ranking possible.

What are these things? = "Desire"

Human desire is never and never satisfied with what they have. Before they got their job, they only think about getting salary and enough to support his self and give some money to family.

But after a while, he begin to realize that he needs more money to support his desire to have a car and house. At least well enough to keep him in touch with his family or shelter for himself and family.

Next, after he got promoted, most of us wants to have something bigger, well said, Ok. Then he bought a MPV car because he got extra money after promotion. He begin to have money to buy HDR-CX110E HD camcorder and some SLRs camera (man, he bought three SLRs camera.LOL, well not me. just an example).

Ok, why I'm telling you guys this? Let us take another example

XXX is one of the friend of the guy from previous example. After getting his job, he begin to realize that he needs to get promote as soon as possible. He cannot wait, this is far different from the previous guy who did job because he loved it. But this guy is because he needs a job and have a family to take care off.

So, he is so busy with things he is so saving budget person for certain parts. He cannot easily "belanja" people and most of the foods come from free stuff after several meetings. For him, money is important to pay his RM1k + RM300 (insurance per month) = RM1.3k car. Why there is so much talk in car? This is the most liability thing that always people look at. People never see you washing machine. People never get to see:-
- Your airconditioner (even though it costs Rm1.350K)
- Your house
- Your camcorder
- Your SLR
- Your HD Television
- Your wife (if you not bring along your wife)
- Other things that is not mean for everyday moving.

EXCEPT FOR CAR
.LOL

People don't see you drive your washing machine or your air conditioner. or how fast your washing machine wash your clothes until it tears apart (Please aware that 10kg washing machine is supposed to be with water. Not just CLOTHES = 10KG. but it is CLOTHES + WATER = 10KG).LOL

So, whenever people go, people intend to judge your moving things. Your clothes, your car. and your wife and family.

Most people judge based on this.

I'm very "kagum (Man, i'm forgot what this in english") with few of my friends that just bring their motocycle just to come to office but their car is left at home. But again, it depends on us how we control our budget.

According to survey by my sister to 1000 respondents, most of government officer actually pay almost 70%-80% of their salary to car,house,bills,personal loan. where only 20% left for the sake of foods, travel, etc. This survey is conducted at Sarawak state.

Pretty lame right?

So, what I'm trying to highlight here to feel that we are lucky to be here right now. What happens to other people who stayed at perkampungan orang asli but they live happily ever after. Why the richer become more richer butthey forgot it is this normal person who bought their stuff. The customer is them. What happens if the customer such as students, normal orang kampung people don't want to buy our stuff and stick to the basic?

It is our responsible to contribute to them and feel lucky we have some money. At least when you are coming to the mosque. Donate some Rm50 notes. or some RM10 notes. I'm not trying to say at least we must "ikhlas" but it is like we are suppose to. It is encourage to donate few bucks more than normal people.

And, I don't know why the greater power the person is, most of them come to friday prayer very late (even though sometimes I'm also come very late but not so often) because of busy tasks in the office. For those who come very early, congratulation.

That is why, I'm begin to understand that I'm in a better place than most of the people in this world. My cousin has passed away 3 or 4 months ago. He never get a better job even though he always trying to do the best. If Allah provide us an opportunity to us. Which type of family do you want to be in the world?
a) Poor family - where soon you will become the person in this world that teach about Islam (jadi ustaz aje)
b) RIch family - you will soon become a normal person with big salary and follow the Islam guideline (just normal Islam person)
It is the question that make us want to think for a while. Are we going to be just a so-so Islam person?

Or are we going to become "always improving" our way of Islam?

The discussion might become very long but the point is, are we going just to be plain Islam person of do you want to contribute more?visiting mosque more?donate more?

It is the answer that only our self can give.

I think I'm begin to understand.

I've been wondering

2010-06-08T08:39:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum and Hello guys,
I would like to share my experience on getting my master degree (by research) completed.
As we all know (some of us), getting completed master by research is not an easy task for us. After we have done all the experiments, now it is time to write some good thesis in order to be submitted to the post graduate office for oral examination. This is the process that might take 3 or 4 months in order the post graduate office to call you and present your work during viva. After you have defended it for 2 or 3 hours, now it is time to make some corrections (might take another 3 or 6 or 9 months.
Indeed, some of us just take another 1 month to fix it but when the time comes for signature and approval of the corrected thesis, some of this upper level guys up there is not available for 1 or 2 weeks. So, your thesis is in waiting list. After that, another crappy 2 or 3 months requires just to be approved by the senate meeting.
The elements of research here can be described as a process of getting your work accepted by senate committee.
But wait, have you ever imagine what happened to those master by coursework or undergraduate work?either their PSM report or master report?
- Did they need to proof read their thesis?
- Did they copied from somebody articles but still senate needs to approve it?
Are you guys saying that master by research and phd requires extra caution in order to make our thesis appear in indexing service by the university repository?
What is the points of having undergraduate work and master by coursework to do their report and then suddenly university is going to put your thesis away from university repository?
What I'm trying to convey here is to why the process of undergraduate report is not like master by research or phd report?
The process that even requires extra attention but still I do not know what the reason behind it. Is there any proofs to tell the differences between those?
The supervisor is supposed to be the one that is going to know everything (at least more than senate members) in order to give his student approval for their work. So, the senate judgement is going to be based on supervisor. But from my perspective, right now the supervisor is not the one who is powerful enough to tell the senate. The system should be modified.

I don't know why it should be like this because of this effort is just waste of time. Perhaps the way of master by research should be followed by undergraduate too. For example, give the examiner 1 or 2 months to read their thesis and then come to presentation day, the examiner knows what to ask and which to correct. Is it?

Well, I just need to wait for another month or two months. Waiting for my thesis to get approval from the senate meeting. I'm clearly confident that my graduation day is on 2011 and not 2010. I don't care much about getting my self to convocation day buy the point is to have my senate to approve my thesis or my research work.

Should I treat equally to undergraduate student?yes, I will even ask them to correct it for me if they do not satisfy me with some good answers during presentation day.

It is a crucial day for new generation to build a better future. It is our time to rise and conquer the world.

It is just based on my point of view and not to harm any person. I've just to make sure that future generation does not suffers from this kind of things. Younger generation should make world a better place and we are going to do that. It is time for generation X to replace our world.

Encouraging thought

2010-05-28T21:47:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum and good afternoon guys.

It's been a while since the last time I wrote something useful about life and now it is time to write something that hopefully give some good effects to us as a reader and human being.

Ok, now we have a job, good rented house for a beginning, some activities during the weekend or maybe not. Good food for almost every day. And we have a happy life thoroughout the day.

What was a reason for today to be like this?Are we meant to be just like our self today or it is something different that you always want?

Sometime, it was something that already been decided on the past. What your past action led to your status of today life.

It is hard and tough to distribute your knowledge or thought to somebody that fixed their mind and heart to the thing they always did. So, whatever good thing you have in your mind or the truth, they simply wont accept it. Only 0.01% might give a shot to accept it.

On monday, I'm going to send my thesis to SPS at my faculty as the person who in supposed to help me (that already said yes) failed to help me.

I do not quite sure what is the reason behind all of it but why they simply just say " I cannot help you" at the beginning of conversation?

It is because of damn hatred in their mind and want to play something with me?

Are they toying with me?

I'm truly don't understand either as I'm not the one who knows everything. I just ask and nothing more. If they cannot help me, just tell the truth. What is the consequence of this action?

Back to the encouraging thought, I've made my mind that my action is to stay positive.

As long as I knew that hatred is actually embedded inside their thought, then they should realized that they are not perfect being.

They have hate in their life and so much hatred that conceal their true side of their self image.

I never hate anyone and for me I just want to say it what ever I want to say it. I want to speak a truth and why should I keep it inside or embedded forever in my mind. I should release it and so they are able to realize what is the truth inside my mind.

But, they are afraid to tell you that, so much deep hate growing inside their mind and just keep telling other people about hate that they have.

So, I just want to say that for the time that given to us, I think we must do something to the time that already given to us. I want to contribute something to the world of knowledge and I will proof that.

Well, enough with explanation of my side. I just to release it into some positive writing. That is the purpose of this blogsite. By the way, you guys are welcome to go to my educational website:-

Assalammualaikum and very early good morning

Well, it has been a not-so-long time since I've written something in this blog. But I've got something that I need to talk and write.

Good thing.

Sometime when you have something that which is an information that is not belong to common behavior of our community, that information actually is not well welcomed.

The same thing happens when you have something that was saying "this thing have two different opinions". You should be able to make judge by yourself for that thing.

As for me, keeping your money inside ASB account is considered as haram as the pelaburan is made on unknown company that Majlis Syariah Suruhanjaya Sekuriti.

Thus, based on this decision, I would prefer to stand behind the Majlis Syariah in order to maintain my income.

So far, not much people will listening to what I'm saying but as long as I already countless time remind them, it should be ok with me.

Abandon.

I've read some news today, and one of them is about ibu tunggal who already been left by his husband due to unknown reason.

I do not know what is the reason why they were married few years ago. It is because of money?or just some simple sex? or just because of pretty face?I knew that there is also some woman who left his husband.but mostly it is man who did the job.

Why this kind of people that we called "man" promised during the akad nikah. Im supposed that the reason behind of this is because of their childhood day.

Their parent might not properly taught them how to become very good person in the future. With all things now is because of money. People just want to work just because to earn some money and not to help each other. They always ask something in return without knowing that sooner or later it will become very painful consequences.

Getting help.

So far, based on my experiences in the past, I've knew that we should become professional in whatever aspects we are doing. Instead of just doing it, at least with some good knowledge as academician, Im supposed that we should always contribute to the community without looking back for what we have been doing until now.

As a final conclusion, I think the best way to survive in this world, is to keep on living no matter what happens. either in the past or in the future. Trust whoever you need to trust and press forward no matter what happens. I'm just praying that soon or later that all bad things will go away.

Khutbah Jumaat di Masjid

2010-05-14T00:30:00.001-07:00

Assalammualaikum,

I've just back from Friday prayer and today khutbah is talked about "Hari Guru".

Ok, what is the wonderful thing of being teacher?
- Teacher contributes to the world as we know today as a person who teach us how to read and write. Of course it is our parent responsible but for the formal criteria, teacher grab that responsible.

Bermula dari darjah 1, kemudian meleret sampai darjah 6. Disambung pula dari tingkatan 1 ke tingkatan 5. Kemudian memasuki universiti selama 4,5 atau 6 tahun. Kemudian sambung pula master dan PhD. Proses pembelajaran adalah sentiasa berkembang.

Jadi, saya bertanya saudara, adakah belajar hanyalah pada satu peringkat sahaja dan kita akan berhenti selepas itu? Is there some sort of end of our study and pay attention to the work that we have everyday?

From my opinion, education will never stop until you have reached your end. It means that we must and keep on study forever because it is our responsible to the God and humanity.

Berbalik kepada perihal hari Guru, adakah masyarakat sedar akan kepentingan guru sekarang?

Biar saya berbalik kepada beberapa tahun kebelakang iaitu semasa saya belajar di sekolah. Pada ketika itu, terdapat banyak juga para guru yang sanggup mengajar dengan penuh dedikasi dan semangat juang yang sangat tinggi. Pelajar dan ibubapa amat menghormati guru sampaikan jika guru menampar pelajar terbabit sebab tak buat kerja sekolah. alamatnya balik rumah nanti akan dikenakan penampar sekali lagi oleh ibu bapa sebab "padan muka tak buat kerja sekolah".

Ianya mengajar kita satu benda, sikap taat kepada pendidik dan juga ibu bapa.

Tetapi,

Kebanyakan ibu bapa zaman sekarang sudah lari dari prinsip asal iaitu guru sebagai pendidik di tempat pengajian dan ibubapa sebagai pendidik sepanjang masa.

Ada yang sibuk mencari rezeki siang dan malam dan akibatnya budak2 terlibat aktiviti tidak bermoral dan juga mati didera pengasuh dan juga mati ditempat asuhan.

Mereka menyalahkan pusat asuhan sedangkan dari muda sampai mereka remaja, muka pengasuh aje yang dinampak. Muka ibu bapa semuanya balik malam dan masing2 taknak atau kalau boleh nak bagi budak tu balik sendiri tempat asuhan.

Muka semasa mengambil budak sangat tidak ceria kerana keletihan dipejabat dan balik dua dua muka kepenatan dan hujung minggu aje bersama.

Maaf kerana ini sekadar pandangan saya tetapi sepatutnya ibu atau wanita patut kembali kepada fitrah manusia. iaitu menjaga anak dengan baik dan bukannya membiarkan anak tersebut.

Biarlah si ayah sahaja bekerja secukup makan dan sebagai lelaki dia patut improve dirinya untuk mencari rezeki dan disamping itu menrancang famili.

Bukan kita tidak mahu rezki anak yang Allah berikan tetapi rancanglah agar duit anda cukup.

I don't say that you must take care of your budget but somehow you must be able to understand that when you have more children, it means that you must work harder and not at the same level anymore.

berbalik kepada hari guru, Guru tidak dinafikan juga, untuk memastikan segalanya berjalan lancar, guru juga perlulah dari pendidik yang ikhlas dan bukannya dari golongan yang nak memakai kereta vios semata-mata atau menolong suami bekerja/isteri bekerja.

Seorang guru kena ada semangat dan benar2 ikhlas dalam menabur ilmu kepada para pelajar dan berfikir bagaimana memantapkan pengajaran dan bukannya dengan hanya memberi markah sahaja.

Banyak,

I've found lot of our lecturer/teacher don't have a skill to teach and as far as I knew, Their class is too boring to attend.

Not much work need to be done and they simply have 0 talent in teaching.

They just want to work and get promoted.

If the class is not boring, at least the teacher or lecturer must to do something to make that class very interesting.

Btw, It requires a combination of teacher/lecturer, student and parent in order to success and make our country more educated people.

Terdapat pelbagai kes dimana ibubapa menyalahkan guru bila anak gagal kerana percaya sangat budak tu sampai guru dibantainya. Tapi bila anak berjaya dikatakan pula sebab anak tersebut bagus dan bukannya guru. Langsung tidak dilawati guru tersebut walaupun tidak mengharapkan balasan.

Ibubapa sebegini sebaiknya disedarkan diri oleh masyarakat. Kereta sahaja besar tapi hati hitam dan busuk.

Bahkan, tidak patut dibiarkan seorang budak 15 tahun membawa kereta kerana ketiadaan lesen dan pada makluman semua, I never out of house at night at 12.00 am when I was 15.

So, who's to blame? Of course, parent.

I don't care what people going to say about my article but I don't respect people who don't know how to raise well their child.

Keje siang malam tapi anak dibiarkan. Balik2 anak tengok muka mak bapak letih dan tidak diajak berborak langsung.

As a conclusion, perhaps there is something need to be done in order to bring our community to realize their way of life. Money is not something first but it is something that requires lot of attention from various people.

That it is. Thanks.

Holiday

2010-05-12T13:02:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Early Morning

It is 3.48 am in the morning yet I've got nothing to do right now because writing up process for some journal already in the process of putting some results from the experiments. Before I'm going to put all the data, I think it is better for me to say something.

So, what I'm going to talk today?It is about our life or it is because our badminton team managed to get to semi-final of Thomas Cup. yeah. But the opponent is tough, which is China. So our team must be well prepared and make sure the concentration is 200% compared to the last game with Denmark.

Ok, I've just back from conference at KL which was quite good compared to any other conferences that I've been before this. Almost 20+ persons I think watch my presentation and It is quite impressive but almost no questions had been given to me during that time. As far as I've remembered, there is a academician said that my work is great. I don't know whether the audience really knew what I was presenting but at least my presentation is watched by some academicians.

I'm still waiting for my thesis to be printed out as my supervisor currently is doing some cross checking with my thesis. I'm sure that my thesis already in coutless number of draft because I did not know how many times that I was undergone with correction. It already took around 4 months now to complete the final version.

Well, enough with that, as soon as I'm receive any green light from my supervisor regarding the thesis, then I've just to leave it until my supervisor says something about print out.

Right now only 3 or 4 days left to write PJP grant. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do for this PJP. Either to continue with my project or a sub-project based on my research group project. it requires software implementation part for that and currently there is no PJP for that part.

Either way, I'm still continue with 1 PJP for this year (as principal) while maintaining the others (other PJPs).

For this year, I'm planning to do something regarding my PhD as my supervisor wants me to continue my PhD as soon as possible. Well, if I have a research grant support by my supervisor, then I will continue my PhD on continuous collision detection but I need to reduce administration tasks. keep as low profile as possible.

Right now is 4.01 am and I'm thinking of continue with PJP programming of 3D visualization for wireless networking. It is already in phase one (near the end) and will continue with phase 2 sooner.

That is folks. thanks.

Misi 8A

2010-05-08T16:55:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Buku Misi 8A ini dibeli di shopping complex di Mines Shopping Centre, I've attended a conference here in KL while the main task is to visit and see my fiance for this 2,3 days. I'm also need to distribute kad kahwin to some relatives here in KL kerana majlis perkahwinan kakaknya semakin hampir.

Mcm biasa, sebelum membeli buku ini, tidak terlintas pun nak beli time tu, yes to be honest because I've never get a chance to buy some books. biasalah, kat Melaka just gi keje, mkn and balik rumah aje. and some sports.

So, after arrived at Mines, and presented my paper, Me and my fiance went to Mines Shopping Centre, need to buy some present to his mom. Btw, we think better we buy some cake. and that is enough.

After awhile, we went to the bookstore there at Mines Shopping Centre.

Secara tiba2, terasa di dalam hati ingin mencari buku-buku yang dilukis oleh my member, Nazry which is Aviasi Fantasi dan juga Misi 8A. During the searching, however, we found that there is no Aviasi Fantasi there but we found 20 books stock of Misi 8A. So, I've decided to give a trial to buy it.

SETELAH DIBELI

Setelah selesai membacanya, saya ingin memberi komen saya, tanpa memikirkan negatif thinking.
Saya rasa, ramai orang diluar sana telah dibasuh oleh minda Jepun dan juga barat, dimana mereka merasakan Jepun dan barat adalah amat bagus komiknya. Sedangkan sebenarnya, minda mereka telah dibaratkan dan juga dijepunkan.

Jadi, berlandaskan pemikiran Malaysia, saya membacanya sehelai demi sehelai, dan tahu apa yang saya nak bagitau?

It is AWESOME!!

Yeah, comic nih bagus dan jalan cerita serta dialog amat bermutu. Gaya persembahan yang bersahaja dan lawak serta penuh informasi.

Tidak juga dinafikan ada juga dari segi pengaruh kejepunan dalam komik ini kerana ada elemen2 tersebut. tapi itu tidak menjadi masalah kerana ada juga budaya rakyat malaysia diselitkan dalam komik ini seperti tidur tengahhari dll.hahaha.main video game dll.

Jadi, kepada saudara Nazry dan Afiq, teruskan usaha dan sentiasa tingkatkan mutu anda. Anda boleh mempunyai kepelbagain masa depan yang gemilang.

Yeah.

Research anybody?

2010-05-04T14:47:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum,

Today, I'm about to tell you guys as a reader of this blog regarding my opinion of doing some research.

Actually what is the meaning of doing research in this wonderful academic world?

It is for getting a tenure?

For buying some expensive stuff using grant money?

Just to keep up with your friends of doing some real research?

To earn some international recognition by having a lot of medals.

To show that you have a quality of doing research?

To get people to know you better or know you are really good in research?

Or to help others who in needed?

There some others that have a lot of reasons compared to my lists above. It depends on how these people are trying to achieve in their life. Whether to be an excellent researcher or to be just normal researcher or to be oustanding researcher? It totally depends on how each individual is trying to do in their limited time of this life.

Research is something that has to do with our daily life, we go to the supermarket and try to choose which products are better. That we called as some normal or daily research that we need to do before buying it.

Instead of just coming to the shop and grab some few things and at the end you have noticed that the bread that you already bought was expired two days ago.LOL. and then you came back and blame the guy or the shop.

As consumer of course you need to well alert of various things. Same things for research, need to be alert with current issues and not just some throwing yourself without too much literature of using your PSM student to do the tasks for you. You must be able to read enough and write paper enough to conference and journal. Research; is something everyone is able to do it, but to feel it, it is something different.

To feel the research itself requires our self to become one with the research, we can feel it, touch it and deep into our heart that we want to do this for the sake of humanity and giving people more satisfaction. My research is in collision detection where I'm about to improve the realism of virtual environment by performing very efficient collision detection method so it looks realistic to human eyes.

There is no perfect research as we keep on improving it.

Getting part of vacation after a hard work of doing research is the next thing to do. Sometime people that called "doing research" said that "I need to have some vacation because I'm need some fresh idea to coming out" yeah, it is true but it depends on the manner of vacation.

It is because you are lazy to start your research and then you want to take some vacation first before start your research? no, it is wrong for me.

Because you will start doing research next month and now is the time to celebrate it before tough time? no, for me it is wrong because you need to be prepared for it.

Because you have your idea now, and cannot wait to implement it but you need to take some vacation first? no, it is also wrong because why not start right away?

Because you already did very hard work on it and you get a result after 10 months of non stop research? Yes, you have earned it but it still not appropriate for me.

Because you have completed phase of doing research for that project and on the way of publishing some papers/journals and all things are inside your powerful brain? Yes, it is totally correct for me. as this vacation can be used to think for some new ideas that might come out and at the same time write some articles while having fun with your wife, children, and family.

It depends on how you define your research and what is right to you. You are the judge and nothing going to judge you (of course in viva, the examiners is going to judge you but I'm talking about yourself first in the real world).

So, basically, you should be able to address yourself what your requirement than other researchers. It is up to you to feel the freedom of doing research. Make it fun for you and never make it as a heavy burden for you to carry forward (doing research).

Doing research is not a work but a satisfaction of doing good things to our community by improving our life.

Taste it and soon you are able to find the gap of doing research and doing work.

Work is not 100% research and research is not 100% work.

Research is satisfaction that has no limit and you must feel it inside yourself.

That is for today, I'm going to attend second day of AKEPT research seminar of research portfolio. Prof. Danny Samson is good speaker and many advices have been shared for past few days.

AKEPT

2010-05-02T07:16:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Tomorrow, 3 days AKEPT research seminar will be held at Hotel Holiday Inn Malacca.

As far as I can see, it will be quite interesting as it consists participation from various universities here in Malacca but also for other people too that would like to attend especially for academic staff.

I'm not quite sure what kind of room that it would be but as long as I can get some broadband signal and a participant desk in front of me (for me to write something), it is fine with me.

Tomorrow is about Effective Writing for research paper. although I might say that I'm quite familiar with academic writing but I need to hear from different people about their thinking for academic writing.

Good article is not create by only one day but it takes more than expected in order to finish it. Given a dateline is around September for example, then we suppose to start writing up on June, and finish a first draft on July, then during August to september (before the dateline), you must prepare for final version of your paper and fix all the mistakes that have been pointed out by you superior/supervisor.

Then, you should be able to submit your paper even though you know that someone or 2,3 persons that expert in your area will read your paper. But, it reduces a chance of getting your paper rejected.

That's why right now I'm concentrated on local conferences before proceed to international conference that have high impact value. Using the local conference as our first draft, then we continue to fix corresponding paper and submit it for international and high impact journal paper.

But, basically it is just my opinion regarding this matter. Perhaps I could share my point of view with the penceramah.

I'm suggesting that local conference can be a medium for our young researcher to practice for academic writing but they also can try for high impact journal paper. It is up to different people as who will attend local conference if not someone from our local universities academic staff?

That is for today. cya and goodnite.

Reality

2010-05-01T11:10:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

LOL, after some words have been poured inside this compose box, now I've realized that I've restarted my computer due to the ant.

What ants have to do with this"?

Well, I keep searching from where these two ants are going, and then I hit my bed and knock down the computer power source on the wall. LOL.

And then, I need to restart because this anomaly has caused my computer to stuck at BIOS screen if something miserable happened. So, it is happened and I hit reset button and continue with a new create post screen after connected to the internet.LOL.

I'm not quite remember what I've been writing before this thing happened but I think I've discussed something about our community. Well, I think I rather to talk about myself.LOL.

I've been doing my research lately regarding the 3D visualization of wireless cognitive network. It is quite poor quality for 3D visualization but hey it is a first draft before something big coming out later.

I need to implement the router and PC function that be able to trace signal and visualize it in real time manner. Even though in theoritical aspect we did not expect much but at least some accuracy error can be traced back to our simulation.

I've been upgrading my skill of programming because you guys should know something about programming - it must not be stopped or otherwise your skills will be dropped.

That is why I must continue to implement something until that time is over. Well, I'm not going to programming until age 60 but I think I will stop around age 40-45. That time I will publish some books of my research or some technical books consisting of programming aspect.

It is 2.08 in the morning I don't know what else to do except for some programming. Well, I need to implement some stuff such as button and input text controller for my research.

I need to take a rest now, or get some sleep. goodnite reader.

Rich

2010-05-01T01:50:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Well, how you may define rich?

Does it have to do with the money that we earn through our income?

Why people so care about money?

I've been thinking all this things when I'm jogging around the Taman Botanikal at Air Keroh, I've keep thinking and realized that I already have been running for about 3 rounds (that is around 3km++) and still feel quite good and my body works very best.

As you prefer my opinion for this "rich" statement, for sure I'm agreed that rich is something that related to the money that we have in our pocket (not just pocket da*n it but it is just some metaphor.LOL)

However, even though you are rich enough to support your family, it is true that you satisfied with everything you have?haven't you? Nope, people intend to have more money and I've been true for that too.

Well said then, because I got nothing else to say right now.LOL. My brain stop thinking for awhile right now regarding this rich matter.LOL. Because I need to perform Asar prayer right now and buy some racun serangga in order to kill all remaining semut that currently having a party at my house right now. I've destroyed one of their big planet, but they seem to build a new space center at the top of my rented house that I pay rm500 per month but the semut rent for free. But I will go to mydin after mahgrib prayer and buy some foods there and cook.

A Robot That Balances on a Ball

2010-04-30T14:36:00.001-07:00

Masaaki Kumagai has built wheeled robots, crawling robots, and legged robots. Now he's built a robot that rides on a ball

POSTED BY: Erico Guizzo // Thu, April 29, 2010

Dr. Masaaki Kumagai, director of the Robot Development Engineering Laboratory at Tohoku Gakuin University, in Tagajo City, Japan, has built wheeled robots, crawling robots, quadruped robots, biped robots, and biped robots on roller skates.
Then one day a student approached him to suggest they build a robot that would balance on a ball.

Dr. Kumagai thought it was a wonderful idea.
The robot they built rides on a rubber-coated bowling ball, which is driven by three omnidirectional wheels. The robot can not only stand still but also move in any direction and pivot around its vertical axis.
It can work as a mobile tray to transport ~~cocktails~~ objects and it can also serve as an omnidirectional supporting platform to help people carry heavy objects.
Such a ball-balancing design is like an inverted pendulum, and thus naturally unstable, but it offers advantages: it has a small footprint and can move in any direction without changing its orientation.
In other words, whereas a two-wheel self-balancing robot has to turn before it can drive in a different direction, a ball-riding robot can promptly drive in any direction. Try that, Segway!
Dr. Kumagai and student Takaya Ochiai built three robots and tested them with 10-kilogram bricks. They even made them work together to carry a large wooden frame.
Watch:

The robot is about half meter high and weighs 7.5 kg. The ball is a 3.6-kg bowling ball with a 20 centimeter diameter and coated with rubber spray.

Its ball driving mechanism uses three omnidirectional wheels developed at Japan's R&D institute RIKEN [see photo, right].
To power the wheels, they chose NIDEC motors and micro-step controllers to achieve a rate of 0.225 degree per step, which made the rotation of the wheels smooth.
The robot's control system runs on a 16-bit microcontroller, which receives data from two sets of Analog Devices gyroscopes and accelerometers.
It's interesting that they had to use both gyros and accelerometers. The gyros can detect fast movements, or high-frequency components, but they're not suited when you want to derive the inclination of the robot. On the other hand, the accelerometers can detect the inclination but they're affected by the motion of the robot, so they couldn't be used alone.
The control strategy is the same used for other inverted pendulum-type systems. The goal of the control system is to keep the inclination at zero degrees and keep the ball on the same spot. If you push the robot, it will try to balance itself and return to the original location.
The idea of ball-balancing robots and one-wheeled robots dates back to the 1970s. Today even hobbyists have shown off cool designs, and a few large-scale robots have been built in academia. Perhaps the most famous is Ballbot, developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon. It's a dynamically stable mobile robot that is tall enough to interact with people. (Watch videos here.)

Dr. Kumagai's robot added some new tricks, including something other ball-bots cannot do: thanks to its innovative omnidirectional wheel driving system, it can rotate around its vertical axis.
The robot has two control modes. The first tries to keep the robot stable and on the same spot, as described above. The other is a passive mode, in which the robot remains stable but you can easily push it around, even using just a finger [photo, right].
What's next? Dr. Kumagai wants to make the robot more user-friendly for carrying things and he plans to combine several of them in cooperative behaviors.
Update from Dr. Kumagai: A month ago, the robot was named BallIP, short for Ball Inverted Pendulum. In addition, Mr. Takaya Ochiai finished his master course at Tohoku Gakuin this March, and he got a job!

CUDA Programming

2010-04-30T03:18:00.000-07:00

Salam to all,

Well, today I'm searching for some CUDA programming materials. It is not that hard as once you already collect all the tools and software, you are ready to learn how to program CUDA.

It is some sort of parallel programming using NVIDIA GPU and the performance?Not in % but it is in times!!!. Imagine your simulation running 50x faster than previous simulation. If you have simulation that requires 1000 milliseconds to run, no worries because you are going to save a lot of times.

If you are using CUDA programming for your program, imagine 1000 milliseconds simulation will only take 1 milliseconds. That is huge improvement and the performance increase is outstanding and insane.

That is why I want to learn CUDA programming, hopefully at least one exercise per day for CUDA, is enough for you to become expert within this two years (I'm planning to use CUDA programming for my PhD).yeah.

What is CUDA?

Overview

CUDA is NVIDIA’s parallel computing architecture that enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the GPU (graphics processing unit).

With millions of CUDA-enabled GPUs sold to date, software developers, scientists and researchers are finding broad-ranging uses for CUDA, including image and video processing, computational biology and chemistry, fluid dynamics simulation, CT image reconstruction, seismic analysis, ray tracing, and much more.

Background

Computing is evolving from "central processing" on the CPU to "co-processing" on the CPU and GPU. To enable this new computing paradigm, NVIDIA invented the CUDA parallel computing architecture that is now shipping in GeForce, ION, Quadro, and Tesla GPUs, representing a significant installed base for application developers.

In the consumer market, nearly every major consumer video application has been, or will soon be, accelerated by CUDA, including products from Elemental Technologies, MotionDSP and LoiLo, Inc.

CUDA has been enthusiastically received in the area of scientific research. For example, CUDA now accelerates AMBER, a molecular dynamics simulation program used by more than 60,000 researchers in academia and pharmaceutical companies worldwide to accelerate new drug discovery.

In the financial market, Numerix and CompatibL announced CUDA support for a new counterparty risk application and achieved an 18X speedup. Numerix is used by nearly 400 financial institutions.

An indicator of CUDA adoption is the ramp of the Tesla GPU for GPU computing. There are now more than 700 GPU clusters installed around the world at Fortune 500 companies ranging from Schlumberger and Chevron in the energy sector to BNP Paribas in banking.

And with the recent launches of Microsoft Windows 7 and Apple Snow Leopard, GPU computing is going mainstream. In these new operating systems, the GPU will not only be the graphics processor, but also a general purpose parallel processor accessible to any application.

Friday Prayer

2010-04-30T00:07:00.001-07:00

Assalammualaikum and Good Evening

Well, friday came at last that reminded us that today is the last day for our work for this week (if there is no bengkel, etc during the weekend).

But again, what you are going to do during the weekend?

Perhaps, for married person, it is a wonderful weekend to spend together after hard work during the work day.

But again, happy weekend day and I'm also cannot wait to see my fiance next week. right now I just need to be prepared for conference and seminar. That is for my future and that is it. yeah.

Effective Research Writing Skills Seminar

2010-04-29T19:30:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum,

On 4 to 5th May 2010, I'm going to attend most excited seminar because I'm about to learn the effective writing skill for research. Although I've published various papers from my research during my master. But we must realize that knowledge does not stop there. We need to remind our self and share our experience of research writing skill.

I want to share some knowledge that I've learned during my master. As far as I've concerned, writing a research paper is not actually very hard. It requires lot of attention and perhaps some good motivation from our self. I've remembered for the first time I wrote my first research paper for Singapore conference. It took about 3 months for me to write that paper.LOL.

After I've written my first paper, I've realized that good academic writing required very good knowledge of your research before start writing about it. You must be able to read a lot of books, various research papers, etc.

However, you must make sure that your daily life has a lot of motivation to do some writing. At least once a day, you must write something for 1 or 2 pages. Just to make sure your writing skills is improving.

I always remind myself of writing some article including blog article in english even though I knew that my english is not very good but I keep on trying to improve it by read some articles in english.

I will update with you guys regarding the seminar details including some photos if possible. I cannot wait to share knowledge and ask some questions regarding writing some research papers. I have a lot of questions in my mind and I need the answer.

Reason to success

2010-04-29T05:03:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum and Good Evening Guys,

Something just come across my mind few minutes ago after seeing some of my friends out there was trying to settle down everything about Cuti Belajar for Master Degree.

Well, it is a normal process for those who works for the government especially for academic staff in IPTA to further their study in order to motivate themselves to become quite a good lecturer some day.

However, thinking about how they want to continue their study, it is about their place of study in order to perform their master. There are a lot more to discuss but let us discuss about what should be on the first place in order to further their study.

Most people further their study in order to make sure they won't stay long as a tutor. They need to forcefully encourage their self in order to complete their PhD or master. That is because they already became a academic staff and they must fulfill faculty needs. Hence, this have developed new culture of our community - to become a PhD holder due to university requirement. Just ask them, Do you want to take PhD if I gave you Professor but I will not give you money for you to continue your study?

I've very huge assumption that the answer would be almost the same. Yes. They willingly to have that title with a smile on their face. Same thing perhaps may occurs to myself. But I'm sorry because I will grab that title but I still will continue doing research and further my study on my own accord.

Not many people has a courage to further their study if there is no budget for them. Even though they've grabbed the Professor title, perhaps they will still wants that budget allocated for them in order to continue their study. With their big car and big house, they don't want to give it to other people who not have much money to continue their study.

Back to the topic, do you need to follow your reason in order to continue their study?The answers would be a lot. Yes, because their beloved wife is there, Yes because that place is very near to their hometown after too many years of being with mom in law. Yes, because they have their friends there. Yes, because it is quite interesting university, Yes, because the faculty told you so, etc.

Yes is because you only want to experience yourself about what is the good things by continuing study?

Variety of answers will be given by these people in order to further their study. Not to mention how many are willing and honestly wants to continue their study. I really appreciate for someone who continue their study just because for the sake of humanity by contributing a better life for other people.

As for me, the change of continue your study is because of yourself, you set foot in academic world, whether you get sponsored or not, you still will find a way to continue you study. As long as it does not effects your plan. Some might keep saying that it is difficult to maintain daily work if some research must be done. But the courage of doing research and further study is because of yourself. Do not make the feeling of continue study or doing research is because you want to become like someone else or you want to make some money, earn some pangkat or because some of your friends continue their study without getting to know you direction of your life. As soon as you step up in academic world, you must be able to see yourself in the future of what you might have become.

Why we need other people reason in order to success?

Of course, you will need to gather all the resources about some universities. but are you ready to develop your own reason?Your backbone for your study is because of your strong reason that will stand still no matter what happens. Even if everyone get failed on some papers but you dont. You never care about what people or other students are trying to say about the course. Some might says "you cannot get even a C with that kind of lecturer". So, how could you defeat this? So, you will not taking this class because of your friend says so. But the thing is, it is your decision to make. You must step out with your own statement. You must be able to gather the information and proof that there is nothing wrong with it. Not many people can do that and it is up to our self whether we willing to sacrifice our own decision or not.

Why live into someone else dream?
Same thing for husband and wife. Husband might says he really love and trust his wife but in the end some people does not know what the meaning of trust.

I can say that the husband must trust himself first before starts to say he trust his wife. Because when you have such a strong trust in your heart, you will care about your wife, and family to the most. And your trust level to them is the more powerful than just simply say "I've trusted my wife".

Both of you might go to work but how strong the relationship is depend on what kind of trust level did they have. As for me, trust is not "I trust my wife and I will always know that she won't lie to me". I think it is wrong to say that because if they've trusted each other more than this usual people, they will always care with each other and perhaps they never do anything stupid to break their relationship. This is the strong bond with husband and wife. It is not just let his wife eat makan tengahhari with his friends and husband go out makan tengahhari with his friends. But the real thing is, are they trust each other enough?

Why we are laughing for some people who always their wife/husband called during office time and then says some nasty things like takut bini or etc? It is their life and I really appreciated for husband and wife who always calling with each other. They are not listening to these people and they have their own reason. They not need to follow others.

So, basically, the development of our own reason is quite challenging and a must for all people. It is a unique ability that most people does not realize that we can become better person if we believe of our self and not because of others. You can push everything beside and can stand still what ever things might occurs in the future.

This is opinion on how to realize the potential of yourself in this challenging world.

Thank you. feel free to comment me especially for my english.

Lesson to learn.

2010-04-24T23:40:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum and good afternoon guys.

Well, it is been a while since the last time I wrote something for this blog.

Today I'm going to talk about how much you can contribute to your religion, community, country and our world.

As we all know, not much for ordinary people like to us trying to shape the world according to our needs. Not many people want to step up as the leader of our community. Many things need to be considered before leading our people into their future.

Working from 8 to 5 is just another story of our life until our retirement day.

However, how many people realized that what is our contribution to our people based on our daily work?

Do you ever realized that every little things you did is always something that you contribute to our nation. But again, it is you contribute honestly to that?

It depends on how you manage to make yourself contribute to the country and our people. In order to get bigger tasks done, we need to make sure our contribution is always the best.

One thing that I've learned from Lord of The Ring is even though you are really small people and don't have any strength to fight big army, you still play important role in order to make our nation or our people into success. The ring from Lord of The Ring must be destroyed yet the person who carried it is just a small size people called hobbit.

I've realized that every person has something to do in this world and we should never let our life in trouble.

Always think positively and keep pressing forward and contribute to our world.

What is wrong with this people?

http://www.hmetro.com.my/myMetro/articles/Penarikkeretamautberlumba/Article/index_html

Assalamualaikum and Good Morning

Judging from the news that I have read from metro, I'm not really sure whether it is true or not but the main important element inside this news, how dead could come any closer without you even think about it.

1st case,

The victim was trying to race with the other car but at then end, death has come to him.

Poor guy, not just he died, but he also died in vain where he were doing something that he not suppose to do it. But almost all of us do it - drive so fast.

Perhaps this is the strong reason why I will never driving more than the speed limit again because it is not worth to risk your life just for a few minutes to destination. When you are driving, you already save a lot of time compared to walking and cycling. If you really want it to be so fast, take a plane.

Does the driver ever think about his lover or his family during his "racing"? I'm not be able to tell it but it depends totally on what you want to think.

Case 2

Two remaja died from a motocycle that has been reported stolen and of course one of them is underage. It is also known that many advertisement that make sure you take care of your son but it just still the same

How many parents out there is really care about their son ? Do they know what their son and daughter is doing right now? How could this possibly happens in our community? Or their parent just want to have a lot of money and the purpose of marriage is for some material things and sex? What the purpose of their marriage?

It shows a lot of what most of the people out there is trying to catch. Their children is left behind and what they want is money and more money. They hunger for money is becoming like a cancer deep in their heart that make sure every portion and every member of their family keep working and working.

I just want to share my 2 cents here.

Drive carefully and always take care of your children. They are really matters for future development of our country.

What is wrong with our people?

2010-04-17T18:01:00.000-07:00

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2010&dt=0417&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Terkini&pg=bt_37.htm

Assalammualaikum and Good Morning.

Well, after read it for a while, I have realized that how deep our humanity crisis has appeared within our lovely country.

No doubt that for the things that already happened, This is very crucial for minister to realize that now it is the time to not wondering anymore. They must keep their eye and heart open as there must be something that our current leadership has failed to see.

Berbalik kepada cerita diatas,

Kita boleh membuat pelbagai andaian

Andaian Pertama : Wanita ini diculik dan dibunuh

Kemungkinan wanita ini diculik dan dibunuh, tetapi jam tidak pula diambil. Bahkan IC pengenalan diri juga tiada yang memungkinkan pihak yang membunuhnya adalah seseorang yang dikenalinya. Jika wanita ini mempunyai suami, sudah tentu suami tersebut boleh menghubunginya. Kecuali suaminya berada di atas lautan atau pun tempat yang tiada coverage telefon. Tetapi ini amat mustahil kerana takkanlah saudara-mara atau adik-beradik atau ibu bapa tiada telefon langsung wanita ini untuk mengetahui khabar.

As for me, I will contact my fiance every day and my family almost every day in order to make sure they are OK and in great condition. But how can this woman no one ever called? It is something has to be done in the past that family never want to see her anymore?Or perhaps she never has any neighbor that realized that?

Andaian Kedua : Wanita ini mungkin tidak berkahwin

Maybe this woman is not married but the guy who made her mengandung is responsible for all this. because they found a motorcycle helmet near the woman dead body.

So, apa yang berlaku disini adalah seorang lelaki membunuh wanita ini untuk mengelakkan orang mengetahuinya. Mungkin lelaki ini telah berkahwin dan membuatkan wanita ini mengandung dan taknak orang tahu. Sebab jika lelaki durjana ini bujang, dia tidak kisah rasanya perempuan ini mengandung atau tidak. Dia just tinggalkan terus rasanya. Ini adalah sikap seorang lelaki yang durjana hatinya tetapi masih dikira baik lagi bagi kategori jahat. Tapi bagi yang telah berkahwin dan durjana hatinya dan juga kategori paling tinggi sekali bagi kategori jahat, maka pastilah dia membunuh wanita ini.

Berdasarkan andaian-andaian ini, saya berdoa agar wanita ini sempat bertaubat walaupun sudah dibunuh, tetapi saya berdoa juga agar orang yang melakukan pembunuhan ini agar dibalas balasan setimpal oleh Allah S.W.T.

Kerana lelakilah dia diperlakukan demikian.

I have realized that today people always trying to gain more money but failed to take care of their children. They just pointed out to the people out there for what their children has become. Parent is the one to be responsible for all their children what might become.

Terlampau banyak masalah umat yang menimpa dan tibalah generasi baru Islam perlu bersatu dan kembali ke ajaran yang benar. Kita maybe ada duit tapi kita fail untuk ada usaha untuk besarkan anak dengan betul. Semuanya mahu bekerja dan mahu pakai Camry dan taknak Myvi. Semuanya mahu Honda City sedangkan baru bekerja selama 6 bulan (Ini benar dan ada rakan-rakan saya yang membelinya).

Sungguh tamak orang zaman sekarang kerana mahu bermegah. Pasti ada sedetik di dalam hati mahu bermegah. Apalah gunanya kata menjimatkan jika beli Honda City bayar RM900 sebulan/Mintak Rm200 sebulan jika dibandingkan MyVI RM500 sebulan dan minyak RM250 sebulan? anda tetap rugi bagi yang pakai Honda City.

Itulah yang saya sendiri not know what kind of situation happens in our people.

We do not know this poor woman religion and so on but it still some sort of really troublesome thing that happened in our community.

For muslim, Semoga Allah menolong kita semua dan sedarkan masyarakat kita. Amin.

Assalammualaikum and Good morning

It's been a while since I last wrote some articles last few days ago..

Wait, yesterday I've wrote something.LOL

Today is 17 April 2010. Where

- Still no news regarding of my master thesis
- My roadtax is 1 month old now (Expired on 17 Mac 2011)
- Around 2,3 weeks more to KL conference
- 1 month + few days until my fiance's sister get married.
- not more than 1 month I will heading home to relax myself a little bit.

To be honest, today I need to write something of my journal paper. But at the same time I need to start programming of my PJP research grant

What's next?

Spend your money wisely.

Why?

2010-04-14T20:11:00.000-07:00

Salam to all.

Selepas membelek website metro untuk membaca akhbar. Saya terpanggil untuk menanya diri saya kenapa banyak sahaja musibah melanda orang yang baik-baik tetapi tidak pada yang selalu melakukan dosa.

Maksud saya, kita tengok orang lain penat mencari rezeki, menjala ikan dan kehidupan susah, sangat tenang menghadapi hidup tetapi pelbagai musibah mungkin menimpa dari segi rezeki duit dan juga kesihatan.

Rezeki tergolong dalam pelbagai perkara. Antara yang saya nak tekankan disini adalah rezeki dari segi duit dan kesihatan.

Dalam dunia ini, semua orang mahu duit, dan juga kesihatan yang berpanjangan.

Tetapi adalah rasanya tidak adil kepada segolongan orang yang mempunyai rezeki yang banyak tetapi tidak pula membantu yang susah. Mereka juga mempunyai kesihatan yang baik, duit yang melebihi dari yang diperlukan dan diidamkan. rumah besar dan lain-lain. Bahkan jika ada yang masuk penjara senang aje keluar tetapi bagi orang biasa, maybe dia insaf tetapi tetap di masukkan dalam penjara.

Adakah undang-undang hanya untuk golongan susah?

mengapa golongan yang membuang anak yang sihat tetapi ada keluarga yang mendapat anak yang cacat?

What is the truth behind all these things?

Why all good people needs to suffer while others is not?

Regarding money opportunity, what is the reason people need to suffer for it?

Semua persoalan ini sebenarnya telah terjawab. Ianya merupakan satu hikmah yang Allah turunkan kepada orang-orang yang betul2 beriman kepadaNya.

Allah sayangkan mereka yang berusaha dan menjaga ibadah walaupun keadaan susah. Ianya disebabkan Allah ingin mereka melakukan segala amal dan menambah amal.

Adakah kita akan stay sama bersyukur jika kita kaya kelak?Maybe, we feel greedy and takbur.

Jadi, disebabkan itulah kita tetap stay sama asalkan kita tidak lupa kepadaNya.

Apabila kaya, ingatlah kita lagi sangat perlu mengingatiNya kerana jika tidak kerana Allah S.W.T, kita tidak dapat kecapi semua itu.

Jangan jadikan alasan kemiskinan, kesihatan yang teruk untuk diri anda menyalahkan diri anda. Ianya peluang yang Allah kurniakan kepada anda, bahkan ianya satu rahmat kepada anda untuk terus bertakwa kepada Allah. percayalah, Allah mendengar kata-kata anda dan bersabarlah hingga akhir hayat.

Do what you need to do and always remember that Allah will forever look upon us. Bersyukur dan sentiasa mengingatiNya because only Allah gave it all to us and will give to us.

The blog entry

2010-04-13T15:00:00.000-07:00

Salam and Good Morning guys

Meeting and another meeting.

Well, that is the reason why administration works is quite troublesome for some people especially for myself as I do not involved lot of activities that related to yourself.

However, it is also quite true where you need to maintain the faculty or otherwise will turn upside down.

For some reason during student time, we never care for this kind of things as we only knew that we were going to study and then get a job. But it's turned out that we still need to do some administrative work.

I'm having a meeting of my research group in this morning around 9.00 am where some talks will be given by community members. Maybe I need to come out with something that I can present there.

I still need to survey some Graphic Card for the PJP that I've applied with Mr. Fauzi (Principal Researcher for my 3D project).

LOL. That is what we called as working environment where I've realized that working is actually quite hard to understand by some people but it's also fun.

Crucial

2010-04-13T08:01:00.000-07:00

Salam to all, and of course very good evening (actually right now is 11.02 pm)

Well, finally somebody is going to my place to send my poor thesis writing back to me after it's been checked by my supervisor.

I never told anyone to send my thesis to me as I already did tell my supervisor just call me when the thesis is ready to be corrected.

Well, He managed to find someone to come over here and hand out the thesis even though I don't know when.

The truth is when you know you have made a mistake, you never realize that you did the mistake.

I even told my supervisor I will do it myself but he still asked someone else to go here and hand out the thesis. I just blurred because I don't feel anything and the worst part of it is I actually have some sort of hate that already existed but cannot go away. It is just at the end of the edge and no turning back even though I never wanted to be like that.

I just hate everything that already happened there because I felt UTM does not want me anymore and why I should be there?

I just want to finish and complete everything and take some rest. I cannot take it anymore because of unfortunate event that turned out my thesis is full of crap even though it already has been send for proof read.

It's ok but to know that my thesis is a garbage is little bit hard for me to accept and I've felt so bad.

It's end up with my attitude getting tense with people especially during my master session.

It is some sort of "no more" after this. I want to get out and build new life here.

I'm getting married and I'm on my way to create my brightest future of my life.

I want to become new one with good attitude here and left all bad things at my old place during my study.

Thanks to my fiancee that she be able to understand me and made me go through all days with smile.

And of course some of you readers that cheers me up. Thanks guy even though I did not know where you come from.LOL.

Assalammualaikum and very good afternoon guys

Well, finally I'm back with new and fresh of myself. I need to begin a new me immediately. I wish I be able to become nearly perfect person in this world. I'm going to have my body and soul into the next level of myself where I will consider myself in real world.

Actually, I do not know what I'm trying to say in this article but to tell the truth, I felt that I need to stay calm and be what Im supposed to be. I knew my mistakes now. and I've learned from it.

Guys, please feel free to comment all my ideas and my thought.

I am not so perfect that I never make a mistake. I've done mistakes and as a human, I'm trying myself very hard to avoid any mistakes happens in the future.

Grammatical Errors

2010-04-06T15:15:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum and Good Morning

I've found that my article for journal has been rejected yesterday. It stated by the reviewer that - the paper that I sent has quite lot of grammatical errors. LOL.Well, that was my writing almost 6 to 7 months ago.

I'm quite happy when I sent my paper to journal for review. It feels like the attention to the particular paper is given by fully commitment for the reviewer. They have quite an interesting facts and review for the paper compared to conference paper that most probably blindly accepted by the community.

By that is only for any 2nd class conference. For any high class conference such as SIGGRAPH and any IEEE high impact conference, it is just a different story.

Well, I am always prepared for the worst to come where I can managed to fix my english. So, I will know that the english level that I currently located. I need to push the level into high level english writer. There are words saying that - in order to have a better english writing and speaking, we must to keep on writing and talking to english listener or reader.

So, I am trying my best to improve my english even though there is no class that I attend where some people would like to spend RM for their english class.

It is good for them but in the end if the practice is not their first priority after completion of the class, the learning is just waste of time, money, and efforts.

Feel free for anybody out there to comment my english writing for any article that I wrote by myself.

I am quite happy for having people that willing to check my english within this blog as I need to improve myself.

Slaking of anxious future

2010-04-05T03:26:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening guys

What's future is keep telling us?

R they trying to make our day is hard day by day?

What are the reason we have been alive until now and future?

Is there something that we must do or something that we missed?

Life, what will you do for the time that is given to us?

Are you going to waste it or are you going to celebrate and enjoy every moment of it?

Do you want to keep smiling every day or ?

Why we must wait for something to happen and why not its start right here and right now?

All the answer for these questions, can be answered if you are honest with yourself.
You need to be aware that the stronger you become, the greater challenge must be hindered.

However, once you found that there is nothing going to stop you for achieving it, then you will realize that nothing can beat what you have been thinking.

God gave us a mind to think that future is going to be like this and like that. Don't stop thinking positively and don't ever stop your mind to become what you want most.

Trust yourself and open yourself in finding knowledge and keep on learning. There is nothing hard in this world and only your mind could bring your deep and dark spirit inside you into bright and shining one.

Set up a new level of yourself and keep on smiling and do what you think is good. Always care for other peoples that wants and honestly willing to help you achieving your future dream. They will help you without cost.

remember, every day is a new exciting day and you are going to enjoy it.

12 Foods With Super-Healing Powers

2010-04-04T17:52:00.000-07:00

12 Foods With Super-Healing Powers

As part of a healthy diet, whole foods play a significant role in helping our bodies function optimally. There are hundreds of extremely nutritious whole foods, but the dozen on this list do more than contribute healthy nutrients—they help you heal. In fact, every food on this list boasts multiple healing effects, from fighting cancer to reducing cholesterol, guarding against heart disease, and more. Eat these super-healing picks and start feeling pretty super yourself.

1)Kiwifruit

This tiny, nutrient-dense fruit packs an amazing amount of vitamin C (double the amount found in oranges), has more fiber than apples, and beats bananas as a high-potassium food. The unique blend of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals found in kiwifruit helps protect against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and respiratory disease. Kiwifruit's natural blood-thinning properties work without the side effects of aspirin and support vascular health by reducing the formation of spontaneous blood clots, lowering LDL cholesterol, and reducing blood pressure. Multiple studies have shown that kiwifruit not only reduce oxidative stress and damage to DNA but also prompt damaged cells to repair themselves.
Kiwifruit are often prescribed as part of a dietary regimen to battle cancer and heart disease, and in Chinese medicine they are used to accelerate the healing of wounds and sores.
How much: Aim to eat one to two kiwifruit a day while they're in season, for the best taste and nutrition. California-grown kiwifruit are in season from October through May, and New Zealand kiwifruit are available between April and November.
Tips: Kiwifruit contain enzymes that activate once you cut the fruit, causing the flesh to tenderize. So if you're making a fruit salad, cut the kiwifruit last.
The riper the kiwifruit, the greater the antioxidant power, so let them ripen before you dig in.

2)Cherries

Cherries boast a laundry list of healing powers. For starters, they pack a powerful nutritional punch for a relatively low calorie count. They're also packed with substances that help fight inflammation and cancer. As if that weren't enough, in lab studies, quercetin and ellagic acid, two compounds contained in cherries, have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors and even cause cancer cells to commit suicide—without damaging healthy cells. Cherries also have antiviral and antibacterial properties.
Anthocyanin, another compound in cherries, is credited with lowering the uric acid levels in the blood, thereby reducing a common cause of gout. Researchers believe anthocyanins may also reduce your risk of colon cancer. Further, these compounds work like a natural form of ibuprofen, reducing inflammation and curbing pain. Regular consumption may help lower risk of heart attack and stroke.
In Chinese medicine, cherries are routinely used as a remedy for gout, arthritis, and rheumatism (as well as anemia, due to their high iron content). Plus they're delicious.
How much: Aim for a daily serving while they're in season locally. And keep a bag of frozen cherries in your freezer the rest of the year; frozen cherries retain 100 percent of their nutritional value and make a great addition to smoothies, yogurt, and oatmeal.
Tip: Buy organic, since conventionally grown cherries can be high in pesticides.

3) Guavas

Guavas are a small tropical fruit that can be round, oval, or pear-shaped. They're not all that common, so they might be hard to find, depending on where you live. But if you can track them down, it's more than worth it. Guavas contain more of the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene than any other fruit or vegetable, and nearly 20 percent more than tomatoes. Our bodies can't process much of the lycopene in tomatoes until they're cooked; the processing helps break down tough cell walls. However, guavas' cell structure allows the antioxidant to be absorbed whether the fruit is raw or cooked, and the whole fruit offers the nutrition without the added sodium of processed tomato products.
Lycopene protects our healthy cells from free radicals that can cause all kinds of damage, including blocked arteries, joint degeneration, nervous system problems, and even cancer. Lycopene consumption is associated with significantly lower rates of prostate cancer; in addition, men with prostate tumors who consumed lycopene supplements showed significant improvements, such as smaller tumors and decreased malignancy. Lycopene has also been found to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells, and research suggests that this antioxidant may also help protect against coronary heart disease.
This strange-looking little fruit is also packed with vitamin C and other antioxidants. Serving for serving, guava offers more than 60 percent more potassium than a banana, which can help protect against heart disease and stroke. In fact, the nutrients found in guavas have been shown to lower LDL and boost HDL cholesterol, reduce triglycerides, and lower blood pressure.
How much: Aim to eat fresh guavas as often as you can when you can find them in stores. They're not commonly available in the freezer section; and most guava juices are processed and sweetened, so they don't provide the same superior nutrition that the whole, fresh fruit does. One to two guavas a day is a good goal.
Tip: Opt for the red-fleshed variety if you can; both are loaded with antioxidants, but the red type has more than the white-fleshed apple guava.

4) Beans

Beans are a miracle food. They lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar and insulin production, promote digestive health, and protect against cancer. If you think of fiber, protein, and antioxidants and immediately think whole grains, meat, and fruit, think again—beans offer all three in a single package.
An assortment of phytochemicals found in beans has been shown to protect cells from cancerous activity by inhibiting cancer cells from reproducing, slowing tumor growth. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health reported that women who consumed beans at least twice a week were 24 percent less likely to develop breast cancer, and multiple studies have tied beans to a reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and breast and colon cancers.
Beans deliver a whopping amount of antioxidants, which help prevent and fight oxidative damage. In fact, the USDA's ranking of foods by antioxidant capacity places three varieties of beans (red beans, red kidney beans, and pinto beans) in the top four—and that's among all food groups. Beans are a great source of dietary fiber, protein, and iron. They also contain the amino acid tryptophan; foods with high amounts of tryptophan can help regulate your appetite, aid in sleep, and improve your mood. Many are also rich in folate, which plays a significant role in heart health. And depending on the type of bean you choose, you'll also get decent amounts of potassium, magnesium, vitamin B1 and B2, and vitamin K. Soybeans are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.
In Chinese medicine, various types of beans have been used to treat alcoholism, food poisoning, edema (particularly in the legs), high blood pressure, diarrhea, laryngitis, kidney stones, rheumatism, and dozens of other conditions.
How much: Aim for a minimum of two servings of beans per week.
Tip: Adzuki and mung beans are among the most easily digested; pinto, kidney, navy, garbanzo, lima, and black beans are more difficult to digest.

5)Watercress

Not only is watercress extremely nutritious, it's about as close as you can get to a calorie-free food. Calorie for calorie, it provides four times the calcium of 2 percent milk. Ounce for ounce, it offers as much vitamin C as an orange and more iron than spinach. It's packed with vitamin A and has lots of vitamin K, along with multiple antioxidant carotenoids and protective phytochemicals.
The nutrients in watercress protect against cancer and macular degeneration, help build the immune system, and support bone health. The iron helps red blood cells carry oxygen to your body's tissues for energy. The phytochemicals in watercress battle cancer in three ways: killing cancer cells, blocking carcinogens, and protecting healthy cells from carcinogens. They've also been shown to help prevent lung and esophageal cancer and can help lower your risk for other cancers.
In Chinese medicine, watercress is thought to help reduce tumors, improve night vision, and stimulate bile production (improving digestion and settling intestinal gas). It's used as a remedy for jaundice, urinary difficulty, sore throat, mumps, and bad breath.
How much: Eat watercress daily if you can. In some regions, it's more widely available during the spring and summer, when it's cultivated outdoors. But since it can also be grown hydroponically in greenhouses, you can find it year-round in many grocery stores and at your local farmers market.
Tips: You can cook it, but watercress is better for you when you eat it raw. Tuck it into a sandwich in place of lettuce.
Toss it with your favorite vegetables and eat it in a salad.
Watercress is great in pesto—just replace the basil with watercress—and soups.
Use watercress as a wonderfully detoxifying ingredient in juice or smoothies.

6)Spinach

You already knew spinach was good for you, but did you know just how good? Spinach protects against eye disease and vision loss; it's good for brain function; it guards against colon, prostate, and breast cancers; it protects against heart disease, stroke, and dementia; it lowers blood pressure; it's anti-inflammatory; and it's great for bone health. Spinach has an amazing array of nutrients, including high amounts of vitamin K, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, magnesium, and iron.
A carotenoid found in spinach not only kills prostate cancer cells, it also prevents them from multiplying. Folate promotes vascular health by lowering homocysteine, an amino acid that, at high levels, raises the risk of dementia and cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke. Folate has also been shown to reduce the risk of developing colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers and to help stop uncontrolled cell growth, one of the primary characteristics of all cancers. The vitamin C and beta-carotene in spinach protect against colon cancer in addition to fighting inflammation, making them key components of brain health, particularly in older adults.
Spinach is loaded with vitamin K (one cup of cooked spinach provides 1,111 percent of the recommended daily amount!), which builds strong bones by helping calcium adhere to the bone. Spinach is also rich in lutein, which protects against age-related macular degeneration, and it may help prevent heart attacks by keeping artery walls clear of cholesterol buildup.
How much: Fresh spinach should be a daily staple in your diet. It's available in practically every grocery store, no matter where you live, it's easy to find year-round, and you'd be hard pressed to find a more nutritionally sound, versatile green. So do yourself a healthy favor and aim for a few ounces, raw or lightly steamed, every day.
Tips: Add a handful of fresh spinach to your next fruit smoothie. It'll change the color but not the taste.
Conventionally grown spinach is susceptible to pesticide residue; stick to organic.

7) Onions

Onions get a bad rap for their effect on the breath, but that's not the only part of the body where they pack a wallop. Onions contain potent cancer-fighting enzymes; onion consumption has been shown to help lower the risk of prostate and esophageal cancers and has also been linked to reduced mortality from coronary heart disease. Research suggests that they may help protect against stomach cancer. Onions contain sulfides that help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as a peptide that may help prevent bone loss by inhibiting the loss of calcium and other bone minerals.
Onions have super antioxidant power. They contain quercetin, a natural antihistamine that reduces airway inflammation and helps relieve symptoms of allergies and hay fever. Onions also boast high levels of vitamin C, which, along with the quercetin, battles cold and flu symptoms. Onions' anti-inflammatory properties help fight the pain and swelling associated with osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis. Onions are also extremely rich in sulfur and they have antibiotic and antiviral properties, making them excellent for people who consume a diet high in protein, fat, or sugar, as they help cleanse the arteries and impede the growth of viruses, yeasts, and other disease-causing agents, which can build up in an imbalanced diet.
How much: For all the health benefits onions provide, it would be ideal to eat one a day. However, if that's not doable for you, add a few onions to your weekly grocery list and try to eat a little bit every day. All varieties are extremely good for you, but shallots and yellow onions lead the pack in antioxidant activity. Raw onions provide the best nutrition, but they're still great for you when they're lightly cooked. And cooking meat at high temperatures (such as on a grill) with onions can help reduce or counteract carcinogens produced by the meat.
Tip: Onions should be stored at room temperature, but if they bother your eyes when you cut them, try refrigerating them for an hour beforehand.

8) Carrots

Carrots are a great source of the potent antioxidants known as carotenoids. Diets high in carotenoids have been tied to a decreased risk in postmenopausal breast cancer as well as cancers of the bladder, cervix, prostate, colon, larynx, and esophagus. Conversely, diets low in carotenoids have been associated with chronic disease, including heart disease and various cancers. Research suggests that just one carrot per day could reduce your risk of lung cancer by half. Carrots may also reduce your risk of kidney and ovarian cancers. In addition to fighting cancer, the nutrients in carrots inhibit cardiovascular disease, stimulate the immune system, promote colon health, and support ear and eye health.
Carrots contain calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, fiber, vitamin C, and an incredible amount of vitamin A. The alpha-carotene in carrots has shown promise in inhibiting tumor growth. Carrots also contain the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which work together to promote eye health and prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. In Chinese medicine, carrots are used to treat rheumatism, kidney stones, tumors, indigestion, diarrhea, night blindness, ear infections, earaches, deafness, skin lesions, urinary tract infections, coughs, and constipation.
How much: Eat a serving of carrots each day if you can, and enjoy them year-round. Carrots are good for you whether they're raw or lightly cooked; cooking helps break down the tough fiber, making some of the nutrients more easily absorbed. For the best nutrition, go for whole carrots that are firm and fresh-looking. Precut baby carrots are made from whole carrots and, although they're convenient, they tend to lose important nutrients during processing.
Tips: Remove carrot tops before storing them in the fridge, as the tops drain moisture from the roots and will cause the carrots to wilt.
Buy organic; conventionally grown carrots frequently show high pesticide residues.

9) Cabbage

Cabbage is a powerhouse source of vitamins K and C. Just one cup supplies 91 percent of the recommended daily amount for vitamin K, 50 percent of vitamin C, good amounts of fiber, and decent scores of manganese, vitamin B6, folate, and more—and it'll only cost you about 33 calories. Calorie for calorie, cabbage offers 11 percent more vitamin C than oranges.
Cabbage contains high levels of antioxidant sulforaphanes that not only fight free radicals before they damage DNA but also stimulate enzymes that detoxify carcinogens in the body. Researchers believe this one-two approach may contribute to the apparent ability of cruciferous vegetables to reduce the risk of cancer more effectively than any other plant food group. Numerous studies point to a strong association between diets high in cruciferous vegetables and a low incidence of lung, colon, breast, ovarian, and bladder cancers.
Cabbage builds strong bones, dampens allergic reactions, reduces inflammation, and promotes gastrointestinal health. Cabbage is routinely juiced as a natural remedy for healing peptic ulcers due to its high glutamine content. It also provides significant cardiovascular benefit by preventing plaque formation in the blood vessels. In Chinese medicine, cabbage is used to treat constipation, the common cold, whooping cough, depression and irritability, and stomach ulcers. When eaten and used as a poultice, as a dual treatment, cabbage is helpful for healing bedsores, varicose veins, and arthritis.
How much: The more cabbage you can include in your diet, the better. A study of Polish women found that those who ate at least four servings of cabbage per week as adolescents were 72 percent less likely to develop breast cancer later in life than their peers who consumed only one weekly serving or less.
Tips: Try raw sauerkraut. It has all the health properties of cabbage, plus some potent probiotics, which are excellent for digestive health.
Use the whole cabbage; the outer leaves contain a third more calcium than the inner leaves.
Both are nutritional stars, but red cabbages are far superior to the white variety, with about seven times more vitamin C and more than four times the polyphenols, which protect cells from oxidative stress and cancer.

10)Brocolli

You'll find it difficult to locate another single food source with as much naturally occurring health-promoting properties as broccoli. A single cup of steamed broccoli provides more than 200 percent of the RDA for vitamin C (again, more than oranges), nearly as much of vitamin K, and about half of the daily allowance for vitamin A, along with plentiful folate, fiber, sulfur, iron, B vitamins, and a whole host of other important nutrients. Calorie for calorie, broccoli contains about twice the amount of protein as steak—and a lot more protective phytonutrients.
Broccoli's phytochemicals fight cancer by neutralizing carcinogens and accelerating their elimination from the body, in addition to inhibiting tumors caused by chemical carcinogens. Studies show evidence that these substances help prevent lung and esophageal cancers and may play a role in lowering the risk of other cancers, including gastrointestinal cancer.
Phytonutrients called indoles found in broccoli help protect against prostate, gastric, skin, breast, and cervical cancers. Some research suggests that indoles also protect the structure of DNA and may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Extensive studies have linked broccoli to a 20 percent reduction in heart disease risk. In Chinese medicine, broccoli is used to treat eye inflammation.
How much: If you can eat a little broccoli every day, your body will thank you for it. If you can't swing it, aim for eating it as regularly as possible. Like many other vegetables, broccoli provides fantastic nutrition both in its raw form and when it's properly cooked. Cooking reduces some of broccoli's anticancer components, but lightly steaming it will preserve most of the nutrients. Broccoli is available fresh year-round in most areas, but if you can't find it where you live, frozen broccoli is a good substitute.
Tip: Steaming or cooking broccoli lightly releases the maximum amount of the antioxidant sulforaphane.

11)Kake

Kale is highly nutritious, has powerful antioxidant properties, and is anti-inflammatory. One cup of cooked kale contains an astounding 1,328 percent of the RDA for vitamin K, 192 percent of the RDA for vitamin A, and 89 percent of the RDA for vitamin C. It's also a good source of calcium and iron.
Kale is in the same plant family as broccoli and cabbage, and, like its cruciferous cousins, it contains high levels of the cancer-fighting compound sulforaphane, which guards against prostate, gastric, skin, and breast cancers by boosting the body's detoxification enzymes and fighting free radicals in the body. The indoles in kale have been shown to protect against breast, cervical, and colon cancers. The vitamin K in kale promotes blood clotting, protects the heart, and helps build strong bones by anchoring calcium to the bone. It also has more antioxidant power than spinach, protecting against free-radical damage. Kale is extra rich in beta-carotene (containing seven times as much as does broccoli), lutein, and zeaxanthin (10 times the amount in broccoli). In Chinese medicine, kale is used to help ease lung congestion.
How much: Like cabbage, the more kale you can eat, the better. A daily serving is ideal. Eat it as much as you can, as long as you can find it fresh at your local grocery or farmers market. In some areas, it's available all year; in others, it only makes an appearance during summer and fall.
Tips: Kale's growing season extends nearly year-round; the only time it's out of season is summer, when plenty of other leafy greens are abundant.
Steam or sauté kale on its own, or add it to soups and stews. Cooking helps tenderize the leaves.
Kale is also a great addition when it's blended in fruit smoothies or juiced with other vegetables.

12)Dandelion

The same pesky weed known for ruining lawns has a long history of being used as a healing herb in cultures around the globe. One cup of raw dandelion greens provides 535 percent of the RDA of vitamin K and 112 percent of the RDA for vitamin A. Dandelion greens are also a good source of vitamin C, calcium, iron, fiber, and potassium. Among all foods, it's one of the richest sources of vitamin A; among all green vegetables, it's one of the best sources of beta-carotene.
Dandelion has been used for centuries to treat hepatitis, kidney, and liver disorders such as kidney stones, jaundice, and cirrhosis. It's routinely prescribed as a natural treatment for hepatitis C, anemia, and liver detoxification (poor liver function has been linked to numerous conditions, from indigestion and hepatitis to irritability and depression). As a natural diuretic, dandelion supports the entire digestive system and increases urine output, helping flush toxins and excess salt from the kidneys. The naturally occurring potassium in dandelions helps prevent the loss of potassium that can occur with pharmaceutical diuretics.
Dandelion promotes digestive health by stimulating bile production, resulting in a gentle laxative effect. Inulin, a naturally occurring soluble fiber in dandelion, further aids digestion by feeding the healthy probiotic bacteria in the intestines; it also increases calcium absorption and has a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels, therefore being useful in treating diabetes. Both the dandelion leaves and root are used to treat heartburn and indigestion. The pectin in dandelion relieves constipation and, in combination with vitamin C, reduces cholesterol. Dandelion is excellent for reducing edema, bloating, and water retention; it can also help reduce high blood pressure. On top of all that, dandelion contains multiple antidiarrheal and antibacterial properties.
In Chinese medicine, dandelion is used in combination with other herbs to treat hepatitis and upper respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. The sap from the stem and root is a topical remedy for warts. Imagine—all this from a lowly weed!
How much: How much dandelion to incorporate into your diet boils down to two factors: availability and personal preference. Dandelion greens are considered a specialty item in some areas and therefore can be difficult to find. They also have a pungent taste, and people tend to love or hate the flavor. If you can find fresh dandelion greens and you enjoy the taste, make them a regular part of your diet.
Tips: Use the root in soups or sauté it on its own.
If the raw leaves are too bitter for you, try them lightly steamed or sautéed.

Five Billionaires Who Live Below Their Means

by Katie Adams
Thursday, April 1, 2010

provided by

At least once in your life - maybe even once a week or once a day for that matter - you have fantasized about coming into a lot of money. What would you do if you were worth millions or even billions? Believe it or not there are millionaires and billionaires among us who masquerade as relatively normal, run-of-the-mill people. Take a peek at some of the most frugal wealthy people in the world.

Warren Buffett

Associated Press

Millions of people read Buffett's books and follow his firm, Berkshire Hathaway's, every move. But the real secret to Buffett's personal fortune may be his penchant for frugality. Buffett, who is worth an estimated $47 billion, eschews opulent homes and luxury items. He and his wife still live in their modest home in Omaha, Nebraska which they purchased for just $31,500 more than 50 years ago.

Although he's dined in the best restaurants around the globe, given the choice he would opt for a good burger and fries accompanied by a cold cherry Coke. When asked why he doesn't own a yacht he responded "Most toys are just a pain in the neck." (Find out how he went from selling soft drinks to buying up companies and making billions of dollars.

Carlos Slim

Associated Press

While most of the world is very familiar with Bill Gates, the name Carlos Slim rarely rings a bell. But it's a name worth knowing. Slim, who is a native of Mexico, was just named the world's richest billionaire – that's right, richer than the uber-famous Microsoft founder. Slim is worth more than $53 billion and while he could afford the world's most extravagant luxuries he rarely indulges. He, like Buffett, doesn't own a yacht or plane and he has lived in the same home for over 40 years.

Ingvar Kamprad

Associated Press

The founder of the Swedish furniture phenomenon Ikea struck success with affordable, assemble-it-yourself furniture. For Kamprad, figuring out how to save money isn't just for his customers, it's a high personal value. He's been quoted as saying "Ikea people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels." That goes for the founder as well. He flies coach for business and when he needs to get around town locally he either takes the bus or will head out in his 15-year-old Volvo 240 GL.

More from Yahoo! Finance

Chuck Feeney

Growing up in the wake of The Depression as an Irish-American probably has something to do with Feeney's frugality. With a personal motto of "I set out to work hard, not get rich," the co-founder of Duty Free Shoppers has quietly become a billionaire but even more secretively given almost all of it away through his foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies. In addition to giving more than $600 million to his alma mater Cornell University, he has given billions to schools, research departments and hospitals.

Loath to spend if he doesn't have to, Feeney beats both Buffett and Kamprad in the donation category, giving out less grants than only Ford and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations. A frequent user of public transportation, Mr. Feeney flies economy class, buys clothes from retail stores, and does not wast money on an extensive shoes closet, stating "you can only wear one pair of shoes at a time". He raised his children in the same way; making them work the same normal summer jobs as most teens.

Frederik Meijer

If you live in the Midwest chances are good that you shop at Meijer's chain of grocery stores. Meijer is worth more than $5 billion and nearly half of that was amassed when everyone else was watching their net worth drop in 2009. Like Buffett he buys reasonably-priced cars and drives them until they die, and like Kamprad he chooses affordable motels when on travel for work. Also, like Chuck Feeney, rather than carelessly spending his wealth Mr. Meijer is focused on the good that it can provide to the community.

The Bottom Line

The dirty little secret of some of the world's wealthiest people is that they rarely act like it. Instead of over-the-top spending, they're busy figuring out how to save and invest to have that much more in the future. It's a habit you might want to consider in order to build up your own little storehouse of cash.

Malversation

2010-04-03T23:12:00.000-07:00

Asssalammualaikum and Good AFternoon, Guys

Yeah, That is right and unbelievable winning. I got my silver medal on 1500 meters running for senior staff category (age under 40). The winner who got the gold medal is someone from state athlete but I gave him a very tough running.

Secondly, I also shocked that I managed to get into final for 400 meters final after three "saringan" even though I just running for fun only and the best thing is

"the 400 meters saringan is immedietly starts 15-20 minutes right after 1500 meters.LOL"

and the bad thing happened during that time, I wasn't alert that I managed to get into final and no "urusetia" going to tell me what really happened. I even walked for the last 10 meters for my 400 meters saringan .LOL

The training.

What Im trying to say right here and right now is the outcome that may be possibility to change your future and your mental preparation toward your winning.

What I can say is if you just aim for silver, you unable to get second place in mind. The person who are saying that "Guy, maybe I'm not be able to get gold medal but I can get you silver or bronze" is actually just bluffing. He might set in his mind to get gold medal. Of course there is no intention for him to tell the truth because he needs some mental preparation.

Why I keep saying that is not true?

Because for the audience, they need to know if the guy going to take silver or bronze medal, they must know their role as supporters by giving some shouting towards athlete that currently is running at the track. They must be able to say "you can do it , you can win the gold" . Audience is going to proof you are just not really getting yourself just silver or bronze medal, but it is gold medal that you are looking for.

As for people out there, there is no shortcut to happiness, but the truth is really out there. When you want something that you not even possessed, strive for it, make some practice, some praying and make sure that your mental set for great achievement.

Yes, we are not no.1 leader in this country, we are not Bill Gates, we are not Steve Job, we are not facebook creator but we are our self. Why we want them but we can become better then them, make them as an example or competitor for you. And you will find that you will definitely see the diamond in your heart, your achievement, your bright future, and your way of life.

Always have a supporters that really care for your success, because without them, your spirit will go down. Stay away from any malversation that might appeared.

Looking around yourself,
Can you see this wonder
the cloud are floating by
Planet in the orbit
the moon and the sun
such a perfect harmony.

Trust yourself and your powerful supporters (either family, your wife, or anyone that really care for your success without hesitations and without money. Find your true supporters)

You are the best, you can get what you want.

You just to open your heart and your mind.

Good. :)

Imagine, how a human being from a baby that naive and weak, can becoming strong and strong day by day by himself. Watch the baby progress makes me wonder, The baby says "Can I walk as mom and day?", Then he realized that he just not can walk but he can run and becoming the very good runner.

2010 Athletics Day

2010-04-02T14:42:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum and Good Morning

Yes, this is the time what we have waiting for. This is where your courage will decide whether you are going to be good or not. Always strive for winning the game even though you might not win in theoretically but the spirit of joining the sport event is the true event for this game.

Goodluck and see you guys there.

Assalammualaikum and Good Evening Guys

Yup, only 2 days more to athletics day (3 April 2010).

So, how your preparation?

I remembered that I've read some article that said

"If you plan to fail, then you already fail at the moment you start thinking that you are going to fail"

So, in my naive opinion, if you are going to competition and start thinking this is not your best and it will eventually fail, ... it is going to fail.

The mental preparation is very essential for your job. Either as a lecturer or as a athlete.

You are going to win no matter what the obstacle. Even you are going to slow down for the last 50 meters, you must keep thinking that you must get number 1 no matter what.

So, even though you might failed in the end, but it is a little bit good compared to no intention of winning at all. I have to tell this to myself when Im keep practicing for athletics day.

The motivation must strong enough to cater the requirement of your needs.

You must be able to think positively even though some might trying to get you into negative zone.

So, you must be able to keep saying to yourself after all hard work, that it is going to pay off. Start running and never look back.

Keep pressing forward even though some others might a little front of you. You must keep saying you want no. 1 no matter what. That kind of spirit might endure you to fasten your steps and unbelievable winning.

Be at your best and remember, always have a positive thinking and strike for the best.

Goodluck

How not to feed your friends with money as they will never help you when it comes to no money (Hardly)

2010-03-29T13:58:00.001-07:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Morning,

Well, its been a while since I repeatedly wrote some articles for this blog. But to tell the truth, it makes me to write this article as I found it is useful.

What the title is going to tell you?

Well, most of us today already know that some things cannot be done freely but some can be done effectively.

In my opinion, when you feeding your friends or relatives with money, they eventually into that situation where almost all things must be done using money. They cannot help you when you not "belanja" them or feed them with money. Nothing come free for them as it is your responsible to always give money when they done something. They always been expecting some rewards and some people even ask for it.LOL

I kinda hate people who ask for return by asking directly. Instead of asking directly, why not just give me some price for all works he needs to do?Then perhaps better I asking someone who are really free enough to help me. Why bother your friends who so called "busy" and even cannot help you as a friend. I quite relieved after I've talked to my fiancee. Lucky she asked me to stay calm and be mature even though people out there not willing to help you.

Reward come after all hard work and that is friendship is for. I should never treat a friend who always ask for return but I will reward for those who willing and honestly help you to finish your job.

The point of this article is to show how people today act miserably. Most people work for money and that is the reason why their kids is left to their parent at kampung while they are going out for some holiday.

Second point on how the decision should be made wisely and not act in desperation.

I sent my thesis for proof read and at the end my supervisor is going to check for it and I wondered why not he does not check it at first place before proceed with proof read?

I will never send it back to proof read and lose another hundreds just because non-unvarying of my supervisor decision.

My advise to all soon to be supervisor out there, they give a promise that you cannot keep as I went through hard way in surviving for my master. Yes, I knew that I am from another faculty (engineering) and they treated me like a s88t.

And always try to feel sorry for your student cuz as supervisor, you also must have some sorts of mistakes and that makes you as a purely human. It is unavoidable but it is the most significant way to show that you are supervisor and admitted your mistakes.

Right now I just need to wait for some approval by my supervisor and perhaps I get good news within this month of April.

1. Never feed people with money as they will need money to help you

2. Never made a promise that you cannot keep

3. Always admit your mistakes

As for Master - Research versus Coursework

2010-03-28T07:50:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening guys

Well, past this few days, some of my friends already graduated from UTM and had their Master degree with them. But for someone like who doing research, it totally depends on how senate is going to approve your thesis even though your faculty has done so.

Btw, in term of engineering field, master by coursework is the most preferable one compare to by research. But again, how it is possible for someone to overcome the fear of doing research?

There is one answer for that, you must polish well your skills before head toward master by research in engineering field.

You must be able to choose which field you are going to go through. Once you step inside it, there is a hard time for you to go through. You must be able to survive for master by research. There is no turning back as once you failed at the middle of doing your research, you lost all your precious time but again..... that is what life is for... Failure means a starter for person to success...Keep doing your research until you finally reached your destination.

Meanwhile, for Master of Science (mother of all master where Engineering is subset of Science), it is quite interesting as master by research bring me to a new level of my knowledge. I started to feel that knowledge is everywhere and the excitement of doing research.

Got three (3) research grants to support, I think I'm ready for next level of doing multidisciplinary research.

Collision Detection and Computer Graphics Games (Major), Social and Gaming Network (Minor), Wireless Network (Minor)

Always read research paper at least once a day make you feel the satisfaction of performing research thoroughly.

Again, you need to wait sometime 2,3 years just to get your thesis accepted and graduated. It is pain in the butt for you to have you friends already graduated (master by coursework).

But it is simple as typing "www.yahoo.com" on your web browser when you are doing your PhD sooner. You know what to do and what not to do. Others need to rely on their supervisor too much seeking guidance and method.

Some lecturers will help you and some will make you experience the bad things before he going to tell you that you are wrong and need to pullback.

But for someone who already did their master by research. It is just piece of cake (same like just eating several pieces of cake) or perhaps several cakes.LOL.

What Im saying right now is to ease you guys who is going to take master by research compared to master by coursework.

Advantages?

- Publish paper(s)
- Can travel using grant money
- Already in specialization (Where some others even though they graduated by coursework still don't know what to do.LOL.They are so afraid and cannot afford to continue study unless earn some higher pangkat.LOL)
- Always ready for next level of research (PhD)
- No examination except for VIVA VOICE EXAMINATION (THE MOST SCARY EVENT but THE MOST EXCITEMENT EVENT IF YOU PASSED)
- No need to go to class (Sleep till morning, wake up late, stay up late, go out with your girlfriend, cuti whenever you like if got permission from your supervisor)
- Etc

Disadvantages?

- Unless you are very brilliant person, you are going to take forever to do research if you are not come out with solution within the master period. You must be able to withstand it and complete it within time given.
- Breakdown (After several days of sleeping at your laboratory)
- Programming failure (Dude, come on, you must at least at intermediate level of programming)
- English must be good enough for people to read (especially your research paper)

As Im saying right now, Don't bother to look at the master by coursework people as you are not the same as them except they were learned almost everything and it helped them to choose which field to further in PhD. But for you, you only on the specialization track and you must be able to further it.

I think im going to konvo around august 2011. that is the best day that im going to go knvo with my wife.^^

Well, goodnite and cya

What is the utter reason you stay at home while some of your friends take a good holiday

2010-03-28T01:07:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Afternoon

Its 4.08 pm here. 28th March 2010. Where almost 9-10 days more to senate meeting (hopefully I can make it in time). Btw, it is up to SPS FSKSM to accept my correction as fast as possible and pass it to senate approval.

What is the reason I put such title for this article? Well, I want to share something what is the reason behind all this.

I was having a good and nice days since I entered UTM on 2003. Until I finished my master degree, I found that I quite what I called as "Always-go-out-and-eat-nice-food". Twice a week with McD and KFC. Secret Recipe almost every month. And quite a shopping guy.

Well, that is during my study at UTM. Now, it is time to save budget for my marriage. I cannot afford to lose my money to non-related things. My time to enjoy as a teenager is going to pass and I going to get married and go enjoy my day with my wife.

It is quite interesting that how I realized that past mistakes did make yourself a better person. You cannot lose your money anymore and must be able to spend wisely.

Some of your fellow staff going to take some nice vacation while you cannot

Some of your friends going to go home almost every week

But you stuck inside your house and just do some programming.

Well, its suite me best as I going to enjoy my day later on. I knew that God will help us if you be able to withstand today challenge or life challenge.

Great day will come within a year, I will be the happiest person in this earth.

And no more alone after all hard day living alone.

That it is. I praying that the day will come forth and I get married

Assalammualaikum and Good Afternoon.

Well, It is been a while that since the pay day last friday. Many of us usually will spend money for this weekend by going to shopping complex, recreational parks, mountains, beaches, etc.

As for me, I need to stay low for this year. Must be a hard time for me as I need to really prepare for my marriage on the next year.

I gotta to admit that I cannot always treat my friends for some makan-makan as they need to know I going to save budget for my marriage. It is not that I don't want to belanja but they must be able to understand that saving takes time and efforts.

So, apparently Im going to stay as low as possible but still enough money to go eat some healthy food out there.

It is not that I have enough money. If I have lot of money for sure I will have alternative to belanja my fiancee every weekend and go to recreational parks with my fiancee anytime she likes.

But it is kinda of opposite where I am only the government servant and as lecturer I need to wisely spend all my budgets. I already arranged my budget for 1 year until the marriage day come and I even have some future planning for 25 to 35 years ahead.

Btw, 3 April is the day where I am ready for 1.5 km running. I am ready for that and I cannot afford to lose. I will try my best even though there are some good runner out there.

I will strike for number 1 and I always wants to get crown as the winner. I will defeat whoever stand on my way.

But if I lose, I still has nothing to lose as I get my body become healthy and continue to run 3-4 times per week. Failure is only the beginning of success while success is only a stepping stone for more outrageous reward in the future.

Al-Fatihah to my cousin who passed away last friday

2010-03-27T02:22:00.000-07:00

May Allah S.W.T bless him and for what he had done.

Amin.

How do you manage your budget?

2010-03-23T12:08:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum and Very Good Morning

Yeah, it is 3.09 where I still awake doing my work right now cuz on 8.30 am in the morning I need to go to PWTC collect some books.

Budget?

Owh, I almost forgot that I had received a letter from the dean that I need to go to Canselori for Budget Management.LOL.on friday 4.00 am.

There are many talks on budget, as most of us of course wants to become rich each day.

Looking at myself, I have been wondering it is quite enough for me to save for my marriage on next year. I been trying so hard every month in order to save budget for that day. I'm quite saving now and I cannot afford to lose my money to other things.

Btw, I still need to think about the Hari Raya Puasa, Balik Kampung, Go visit my fiancee family, etc.

The point is how to manage properly your budget when time like this come to you.

I knew lot of my friends already bought big car without thinking that they are going to further their study in the future, So they will leave behind their precious car for 3 or 4 years. When they coming back from study, that car is going to be old (of course = old) and you never wanted it anymore unless you are going to be dumb enough to sell that car and lost your almost half of your money just to pay for it.

Planning is quite essential as today people wants themselves to become popular or we can call as cheap skate people. Meaning that they be able to show their property than their true colors.

Buying big car even though they eat good meal rarely twice/three times per day

Buying big house?This is exception because big house is good because house never went down their price.this is good thing.

Buying gadget?Moderate la I think.

So, the explicit thing that Im going to say is that you must be able to handle your budget properly. Not just buy big car without thinking that you are going to do within few years ahead. The insurance will cost you quite a money and you will have to save your budget for it.

I have to admit it they are not manage properly their budget and just buy and not even think about their future planning.

As for me, I already got a car that did not cost me anything except for roadtax and low insurance (Just Proton Saga la).hahaha.

But Im happy with that and the first thing Im going to buy is house(property) where most people busy buying unrelated and unconscionably material.LOL.

Even my fiancee said to me that she had a friend who have quite a very good car but when come to the house. It just a rent house with small amount of furniture.

What is the good thing having a car that pay for Rm1500 than Proton Saga RM500 permonth where the fuel consumption is basically the same when the usage is according to the user?

What is point having a car with insurance cost RM5000 per year and minyak itam Rm500 where standard car only cost you around Rm2k if I not mistaken and only Rm200 for minyak itam.

The fuel is not going to save you quite much. What is the different between fuel usage of Rm300 permonth (let say standard car) with Rm200 permonth (let say big car). Where you still need to pay RM900 permonth extra.

In term of performance?Safety?Fuel Consumption on freeway? - It is subjective. It depends on the user.

If you need to travel every day, of course fuel consumption is quite high.

Manage your usage properly and budget properly.

Unless you are businessman or rich person, then you can buy anything you like.

I speak in term of ordinary people today (government, etc, makan gaji one yg standard)

That is all for today. Good Morning.

:)

Assalammualaikum and Good Morning all,

Well, Its been a while since last time I wrote some article about current issues. However, today I want to talk about something that always intriguing my mind since the beginning of this month and finally I got time to say it right here and right now.

Development of future generation

Yes, from my point of views, It is quite interesting that today generation is somehow quite rich and have a great life compare to others several decades ago. Our parent needs to sacrifice everything in order to come to the university because on that time, it is quite hard to enter the university.

Then, after struggled quite a long years, they became a family and had sons and daughters. Some didn't want them to follow their footsteps because they already been poor at that time and then they give it all to their children.

Some of them realized that they want their children to know the hard time to find money for education. So, their children must be able to going through all the process that their parents once went through and success.

Given this two of choices for parents, I always think about it by myself. How it is going to be when I have kids and teach them the meaning of life?

Is that getting rich will ever make your children become smarter and good people?

Is that getting them to know what you had been through make your children become smarter and good people?

The choice is for them to make. Who?your future generation. You only be able to make a sword but the one who wield it is your son or daughter.

Who stand at the battlefield?

It is your son or daughter and not yours to shape it. Once he or she be able to wield the sword to go to the battlefield. it is their life to decide. They must be able to going though all the process and we only be able to support it in term of financial, love, etc.

As for my opinion, ask yourself this question.

It is worth for us to watch our son or daughter growing up with all rich stuff and money things that give everything they want for them to success without any disagree on their opinion? Or it is love the most suitable one?

Due to restriction of formality

2010-03-15T23:28:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum and Good Afternoon

Well, its been a while since last time I "copied" paste some article from other website and put it here to save time to write it all.

Various things happened and the most excited things is my fiancee came back from Bandung and bought some materials for our wedding in the future. Almost 4 months since last time I met her (during engagement day on December 2009), so I cannot wait to see her this earlier May as I need to attend conference at KL.

Basically, on 27 March 2010, there would be a sport event where I will taken place on 1500m sprint. Well, wish me luck then and perhaps I could perform better than other sprinters.

I am doing every two days training for me to get some stamina concentration and hopefully my training is worthy for that day.

Btw, It also good to know that lot of stuff I need to handle right now, as academic staff, as researchers, as future PhD student, as AJK for some ICT committee.

But that is the way how we live in this world,

As long as my main target which is getting married within earlier next year could help me to overcome any obstacle that I am trying to solve everyday.

Yeah,

that is all for today.LOL.

Status Hukum Infinity Downline & Login Facebook Dapat RM100

Today at 5:13am

Bagi menunaikan amanah Allah, selaku khalifah Allah di atas muka bumi, untuk menyeru kepada kebaikan, melarang kemungkaran, saya berusaha untuk mencari celah-celah waktu yang ada untuk diwaqafkan kepada umat Islam bagi menyediakan jawapan bagi soalan skim Infinity Downline yang ditanyakan ini.

Beberapa perkara perlu dikaji dalam hal ini dan saya akan nyatakan secara ringkas findings dan pandangan saya. Oleh kerana skim ini menawarkan sesuatu yang agak mudah, maka tidak sukar untuk memahaminya. Secara ringkas dan padat adalah seperti berikut
_________________________________________________________________________

Status Hukum Infinity Downline & Login Facebook Dapat RM100

Oleh

Zaharuddin Abd Rahman

Bertalu-talu orang bertanya berkenaan skim perniagaan Infinity Downline dan ada juga yang menamakannya dengan ‘Login Facebook dapat RM100 hari-hari'. Sebenarnya saya amat skeptic dengan skim-skim sebegini malah amat muak lagi jemu untuk menelitinya kerana pada kebiasaannya hasil penelitian akan menunjukkan semua itu adalah sama sahaja cuma diubah sedikit di sana dan sedikit di sini. Oleh kerana itu, saya tidak dapat menyembunyikan perasaan bimbang melihat betapa mudahnya umat Islam di Malaysia dikelirukan dengan skim seperti ini, padahal telah berkali-kali dijelaskan konsep dan asas untuk menilai halal dan haram dalam skim sebegini.

Padahal, helah pihak-pihak penganjur skim tersebut amat jelas dan terang. Pun begitu mereka masih mampu mengelirukan umat Islam kita. Saya berdoa agar kita semua mampu lebih rajin untuk berfikir dan lebih cekap dalam memperbezakan antara skim-skim sampah dan emas permata.

Bagi menunaikan amanah Allah, selaku khalifah Allah di atas muka bumi, untuk menyeru kepada kebaikan, melarang kemungkaran, saya berusaha untuk mencari celah-celah waktu yang ada untuk diwaqafkan kepada umat Islam bagi menyediakan jawapan bagi soalan skim Infinity Downline yang ditanyakan ini.

Beberapa perkara perlu dikaji dalam hal ini dan saya akan nyatakan secara ringkas findings dan pandangan saya. Oleh kerana skim ini menawarkan sesuatu yang agak mudah, maka tidak sukar untuk memahaminya. Secara ringkas dan padat adalah seperti berikut:-

1. Latar belakang syarikat dan web

Menyemak website utama Infinity Downline (selepas ini digunakan singkatan ID) melalui ‘whois', seorang pengkaji persendirian mendapati, web ini tidak menyertakan info yang mencukupi tentang pemiliknya. Berikut adalah hasil kajiannya.

Domain "Whois"

The Whois information for a website lists the owner and their contact information. The owner of "Infinity Downline" has purposely made their Whois information private. While not always a bad thing, this could mean they have something to hide. (rujuk http://www.imreportcard.com/biz-opps/infinity-downline)

Meneliti web utama ID juga menunjukkan kita tidak mempunyai sebarang akses kepada nama pencipta dan pengurusan penuh syarikat ID, malah sebarang komunikasi juga hanya melalui kotak khas soalan yang disediakan. Ini jelas ciri sebuah skim cepat kaya yang sentiasa berjaga-jaga dari mendedahkan identiti kepada pihak berkuasa.

Penilaian saya: Ia jelas satu unsur gharar yang menjadikan skim ini haram pada pandangan Islam. Manakan tidak, sekiranya web tersebut ditiadakan, semua sistem yang digunapakai oleh ahli dalam menyemak bayaran dan lain-lainnya turut hilang. Justeru mendedahkan diri kepada situasi perniagaan sedemikian adalah ditegah di dalam Islam.

2. Asal dan perkembangan syarikat

Memang benar, kelihatan sistem ini berasal dari USA. Statistic www.alexa.com juga menunjukkan peratusan teramai pelawat ke web ID datangnya dari USA, diikuti dengan negara yang dipenuhi oleh pecinta skim cepat kaya iaitu Malaysia.

Justeru dengan fakta ini, jelas skim ini memang sedang mendapat tempat di kalangan ramai di seluruh dunia, sehingga jika dicari berkenaannya di google dan yahoo, majoritinya memuja memuji system ini sebagai sistem termudah mendapatkan duit.

Penilaian saya : Tahap tersebar skim ini di seluruh dunia menunjukkan tanda positif tetapi ia sama sekali tidak menunjukkan bahawa ia halal di sisi Islam. Skim cepat kaya Bernard Mardoff yang bernilai USD 5 billion lebih kelihatan reliable, tetapi ia tetap scam dan sebuah skim cepat kaya apabila ia tidak berniaga barangan sebenar dan hanya memusing-musingkan kentungan dari orang bawah yang baru masuk kepada orang atas sistem piramidnya.

Justeru, pertumbuhan skim ini tidak memberi sebarang impak positif kepada penilaian hukum. Namun ia juga tidak memberikan impak negatif kepadanya. Oleh itu, penilaian hukum terletak kepada aspek-aspek lain dan perkembangannya di seluruh dunia dan disertai ramai TIDAK SAMA SEKALI boleh membuktikan ia adalah sebuah system yang halal di sudut hukum Islam, dan tidak juga mampu membuktikan ia legitimate di sisi undang-undang.

3. Produk yang dijual

Sebagaimana dimaklumkan di web mereka, produknya adalah berupa ratusan e-book, audio dan video training untuk belajar menggunakan software tertentu seperti vista, microsoft, excel dan lain-lain. Berikut senarainya audio (termasuk berkenaan bible!) :

Begitulah beberapa petikan produknya yang boleh diperolehi dengan hanya USD25 atau RM 100. Sekali pandang ia kelihatan cukup baik, namun apabila diteliti tajuk-tajuk tertentu dalam senarai audio, ia jelas agak banyak tajuk yang dijual berkait hal yang dilarang di dalam Islam, malah majoritinya tidak dapat dipastikan kandungannya sama ada halal atau haram. Lihat sahaja tajuk seperti:-

Outsourcers Bible
Bedroom To Boardroom
You and Your Tattoo
Profitable Forex Trading

Ia pastinya mengandungi pengajaran hal-hal yang bertentangan dengan Islam. Tambahan pula kebanyakan tajuknya TIDAK MENARIK lagi TIDAK DIPERLUKAN oleh majoriti peserta.

Oleh itu, saya yakin, produk ini hanyalah sebagai alat untuk mengabui mata pihak berkuasa dan peserta, kononnya mereka menjual produk, sedangkan produk yang dijual tidak mempunyai sebarang kualiti khas, malah semua kaedah dan tatacara pengunaan itu boleh dengan mudah diperolehi secara percuma di internet. Justeru itu, produk seperti ini jelas adalah satu produk tanpa nilai seperti sampah yang dihias bagi mencatikan gambaran skim sahaja.

Saya juga yakin majoriti yang memasuki system ini TIDAK SAMA SEKALI inginkan produk itu, malah tidak memanfaatkan produk yang diperolehi itu. Sebenarnya apa yang diingini adalah system reverse 2 up yang diwarwarkan membolehkan peserta memperolehi modal USD 25 dengan hanya seorang dowline, selanjutnya selaku upline mereka akan memperolehi komisyen yang merupakan keuntungan demi keuntungan.

Meneliti promosi-promosi dari ahli-ahli ID, amat jelas memperlihatkan niat dan kecenderungan mereka adalah untuk bergiat dalam system money game dan bukannya berusaha mempromosikan produk-produk tanpa kualiti mereka. Ini jelas apabila sistem komisyen lebih diutamakan dalam promosi berbanding produk.

4. Plan pembayaran komisyen ( compensation plan)

Perkara pertama yang perlu difahami, apabila sesuatu sistem atau skim upahnya tidak disandarkan kepada nilai jualan barangan atau produk, ia adalah tanda awal ia merupakan sistem piramid, head hunting atau money game.

Seperti yang disebut di atas, skim ini menggunakan system reverse 2 up. Sedikit penerangannya boleh dilihat dalam video yang disertakan ini .

REVERSE TWO UP SYSTEM

Yang difahami darinya :

· Dengan modal : RM100 ( 25 USD)

· Setiap tajaan ahli 1 dan 3 (POWERLINE) kecuali kaki ke-2 dan ke-4 akan diperolehi oleh upline ( iaitu RM100 terus ke akaun upline)

· Bermakna, setiap kaki 2 dan 4 dari POWERLINE, RM100 setiap seorang akan terus dimasukkan ke dalam akaun

· Perkara ini berlanjutan hingga infiniti (melintang dan menegak)

CONTOH ; Seseorang menaja 4 orang A,B,C,D, maka (B) DGN (D) BERI KE UPLINE. Manakala (A) DAN (D) SEHINGGA Z (atau berapa sekalipun peserta yang punya..hanya 2 sahaja diberi kepada upline..dan 2 tadi akan melahir kan 4 untuk layak berniaga.

Sekiranya seseorang itu menaja atau mencari 10 orang ahli (=mangsa)

Level 1 - 10 Rakan Niaga = 100% * RM90 * 10 = RM900
Level 2 - 100 Rakan Niaga = 100% * RM90 * 100 = RM900
Level 3 - 1000 Rakan Niaga = 100% * RM90 * 1000 = RM90,00
Level 4 - 10000 Rakan Niaga = 100% * RM90 * 10000 = RM900,000
Level 5 - 100000 Rakan Niaga = 100% * RM90 * 100000 = RM81,000,000

Itulah angan-angan peserta skim mat jenin, seolah begitu mudah untuk mencapai level 5. Sebagaimana yang telah saya sebut dalam artikel MLM yang terdahulu, apabila yuran keahlian dijadikan sandaran komisyen dan segala komisyen itu juga bukan sebuah keuntungan hasil kontrak jual beli produk yang unik dengan kualitinya. Ia jelas sebuah system yang diharamkan di sisi Islam.

YURAN SETIAP BULAN

Ini adalah petikan dari kempen sana sini upline ID (rujuk facebook mereka) :

Kita akan terus-menerus dapat setiap bulan selagi downline maintain bayar USD25 tiap-tiap bulan. Paling best 100% bila anda menaja 1orang SYARIKAT TIDAK AMBIL APA-APA best program affiliate -INFINITY DOWNLINE ni.

Ini jelas satu lagi unsur haram, modal yang diwarwarkan sebenarnya bukan lagi USD 25 seumur hidup, rupanya adalah USD 25 sebulan!. Sedangkan produk yang telkah dibeli dahulu pun tidak gunakan, apatah lagi produk bulan depan yang belum pasti akan diupdate oleh syarikat atau tidak. Jika syarikat belum mengemaskinikan produknya, malah tidak disebut secara jelas, manakah produk baru pada tiap-tiap awal bulan, maka atas apakah bayaran USD 25 itu dibuat? Sekadar untuk memastikan upline layak mendapat komisyen orang downline?. Jika itulah senarionya, ia JELAS Riba malah juga mempunyai unsur perjudian.

Perjudian semakin jelas apabila, kegagalan ahli maintain USD 25 setiap bulan akan menyebabkan dirinya terkeluar dari kaki dan tidak lagi layak menerima komisyen orang bawah, kini dirinya dianggap orang baru di bawah sistem kaki tersebut setelah pendaftaran dan pembayaran semula dibuat.

Penilaian saya:

Menurut pandangan saya, sistem komisyen dalam skim ID ini jatuh dalam bentuk riba. Ini adalah kerana apabila produk tidak lagi menjadi ukuran dan fokus, bayaran yuran yang diberikan hanyalah sebagai jalan untuk meraih wang tunai yang lebih banyak pada masa hadapan melalui system ini. Hal ini dijalankan melalui system system reverse 2 up.

Ia merupakan satu bentuk Riba Nasiah dan juga Riba Al-Fadl. Hal yang sama juga hukumnya bagi perusahaan mana-mana skim MLM atau affiliate yang tidak mempunyai produk bersungguh dan berkualiti, sebaliknya produk miliknya seperti ruangan laman web yang tidak berfaedah buat kebanyakkan orang, ebook , video, audio yang tidak relevan kepada pengguna khussunya yang tidak mahir bahasa Inggeris (bagi kes ID semua produk sampahnya di dalam bahasa Inggeris), atau apa jua produk yang hanya dijadikan sebagai alasan pembelian.

Ini jelas, pada hakikatnya, ahli bukannya ingin membeli produk itu, tetapi untuk menyertai rangkaian serta memperolehi wang darinya. Ia juga termasuk dalam yang diharamkan. Hal membeli produk tidak benar dengan niat utama memasuki rangkaian dan mendapat untung dari rangkaian ini telah difatwakan haram oleh Majlis Fatwa Al-Lajnah Ad-Daimah Arab Saudi no 15/192-193.

Sebagaimana juga disebut di atas, ia juga mempunyai unsur judi melalui yuran bulanan peserta. Yuran ini mendedahkan peserta kepada dua kemungkinan iaitu RUGI (= kalah), atau terus mendapat komisyen lumayan dari downline ( = Menang judi).

Tidak dinafikan sistem komisyen ini boleh menghasilkan wang dan duit yang banyak kepada upliner khususnya apabila masih belum ramai yang menyertainya, namun itu bukanlah fokus artikel ini ditulis.

Tulisan ini memfokuskan kepada sama ada wang yang boleh diperolehi itu merupakan sumber dan cara yang menepati hukum Syariah atau tidak, dan ternyata ia TIDAK PATUH kepada undang-undang muamalat Islam.

KESIMPULAN AKHIR

1) Latarbelakang syarikat ID diragui dan bermasalah.

2) Produk ID adalah tiruan, tidak punyai nilai sebenar, bercampur intipati yang haram dan tidak diperlukan oleh majority ahli. Ini menjadikan penyertaan ke skim ID adalah kerana inginkan pulangan melalui system reverse 2 up.

3) Akibat produk tidak berkualiti, tidak relevan dan yang dipromosi adalah lebih kepada sistem komisyen, setiap yuran yang dibayar adalah dengan niat dan hasrat untuk mendapat lebih banyak keuntungan tanpa sebarang jual beli sebenar, tatkala itu riba al-Fadl dan An-Nasiah berlaku. Ini adalah kerana komisyen disandar kepada yuran dan bukan jualan produk.

4) Yuran bulanan USD 25 menjatuhkan ia di dalam unsur maysir atau perjudian.

Oleh itu, menurut penelitian saya, umat Islam MESTI DIHARAMKAN dari menyertai system ini. Sebarang promosi dan membiarkan promosinya betapak di web atau facebook anda juga adalah diharamkan di dalam Islam atas asas larangan bantu membantu dalam perkara maksiat dan dosa.

Adalah diharapkan umat Islam khususnya bangkit dari tidur dan mimpi untuk mendapatkan untung tanpa usaha yang setimpal. Dalam Islam setiap keuntungan mestilah bersumber dari penjualan sesuatu aset atau dari usaha sebenar terhadap sesuatu aset, bukan hanya untung atas angin secara goyang kaki atas penyertaan orang ke dalam sesuatu sistem pyramid.

Semoga kita semua diberi pembukaan hati dan minda untuk tidak menyertai, berhenti dan menyedarkan yang lain. Namun sekali terjebak, kegilaan kepada wang, harta serta sistem cepat kaya adalah ibarat arak yang memabukkan, tidak mudah menyedarkan mereka tatkala sedang mabuk, peluang dan ruang untuk yang menasihat dicerca adalah besar, demikianlah tabiat orang mabuk apabila dinasihat. Justeru bersabar kalian dalam menasihati mereka, semoga mereka lekas sedar dan sempat diselamatkan sebelum kemalangan berlaku.

Akhir sekali, tulisan ini bukanlah sebuah fatwa, ia hanya nasihat dan pandangan. Jika ada yang tidak bersetuju dengannya, terpulang kepada saudara dan saudari untuk menolaknya. Tiada sesiapa yang memaksa untuk menerimanya. NIat saya hanyalah untuk mebantu dan menyelamatkan kita semua dari murka Allah. Justeru tidak perlu untuk mencaci maki di web ini.

To be honest, I have been trying to become as prepare as it can be. I trying to figure out myself that "Am I ready for this level of excitement where there educated and strong people going to judge the technique?"

The answer is yes. That is excitement that I always think in my head. I want them to questions me about my technique due to my positive thinking.

I want them to appreciate and I am thinking that they going to ask because they want to know more about my technique and how well it can be applied in virtual environment.

With my fiancee, Nur Baizura is always cheer me up, I think that I could survive the viva, however, excitement will only begin on VIVA day, So, today is still earlier to be excited.

Bus Transnasional Dari Melaka

2010-02-14T01:51:00.001-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening

Well, obviously when you buy a ticket asking for single seat, you will know directly whether the bus company provides single seat or not. However, from what I experienced before, you guys should never take a bus of Transnasional from Melaka to Alor Setar where at the ticket it said BUsiness, but at the end, you ended up being in double seat bus.

Btw, I learned the lesson that things should never happened twice. So don't buy anymore from Transnasional. Simple as that.

Sondol Lorry

2010-02-09T17:40:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Pagi.

Kejadian menyondol belakang lori memang tidak dapat dipertikaikan lagi.

Mengapakan keadaan sebegini berlaku?Adakah pemandu yang meletakkan kenderaan ditepi itu bersalah dan orang lain yang memandu bersalah?

Jika diletakkan KON berjuta sekalipun, tetap disondol jua lorry lorry terbabit dan juga apa jua yang diletakkan ditepi jalan.

kejadian di senawang amat menyedihkan, imagine how one whole family died in that tragic accident.

So, what actually is happened?

- That car is driving so fast and cannot gain control
- Sleepy
- Try to catch something and that is why they are driving so fast
- Not maintain their car properly
- or what else could bring harm to them?

From my perspective or my opinion or onion,

I think all road user must be able to maintain their speed very well and drive very careful on the road. I always think highway is for very convenience way to relax while driving your car. It is not for speeding or something like that. Make it very fun and drive peacefully.

But, death sure will come to us, but it is our responsible to make any good decision to avoid death. Always be careful and think about our love one.

Im not certain how to avoid the accident but in order to avoid this things from happening again, Im suggesting that the road user should be able to have a rest and drive carefully.

That is it

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening

Well, today is the most exciting days as finally my house is completed it lamps, and fans installation. So, actually it was outstanding achievement for me as I move further into next level.

Actually I don't know what to write right now.LOL

Why Crime Occurs

2010-02-06T08:18:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening to all

Yeah, it is a very nice weekend for me and most people out there. Some busy with their friends and relatives. Some others busy with their work that they found that job is the happiest thing for them. Some think that just sit inside their house always bring comfort to them. While others do not know what to do during weekend and end up becoming very frustrated.

Well, many things inside my head right now. One of them is why crime always occurs? It is because we cannot prevent it? Nope, most of the time I think it is come from our mistakes. How we raise our kids, etc.

Rape, Robbery, Kill, and many others are committed by the people just like us. The reason behind they becoming like that is because how they grew up until become mature. Who raise them? Why parent A and parent B is never are the same?

A is not equal to B. Means it never get C.

Situation

- Most people very weak in protecting themselves. They just always alone and walking down the street alone. Back from office alone.

- They pick the wrong person to be friend.

- Put too much faith on other person that they do not really know

- Want to become as free as possible.

- Media and film filled with unnecessary action. Too many can be downloaded from internet

- Don’t want to be careful

- Where parents?

From my point of prospective, the crime exists because of their childhood and bad influence since they are kids.

Most people don’t care anymore of reciting Al-Quran.

Too few peoples who attend Mosque for fardhu except for Solat Jumaat (Although Im lack on this but I try myself at least go once per day for example – every day Mahgrib Prayer.

So, Im suggesting pick up the worst case and always be careful for any harm. Always go to long road. If anything happens such as someone hit you at the back while the road is almost empty or in dark place, just directly go to police station. Wait first and watch for the person. Either it was a bad person or not. You ultimately will know which one are good person and bad one.

It is our responsible as muslim to care about other muslim too because as umat Muhammad S.A.W, we need to pay attention about our community. However, today neigbourhood is somehow quite different from 20 years ago. Today most people is busy and don’t have much time to pay attention to neighbor. They think neighbor should act on their own and half of them never take care what neighbor are doing and what happens.

So, my today conclusion is always taken care of yourself first before any harm come to you. I wrote this article for my blog because I felt so disturbing with all negative news from newspaper.

Research

2010-02-02T13:55:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Morning

Hi all,
What a wonderful morning today we have.yeah.!!

Today Im going to speak out loud about research.

Everyday we doing a research, we did a research, we will be doing a research.

Research on how the temperature of two rooms will be different if one of the room has it windows covered by dark paper while the other one is not.

Research on how your budget will decrease if you eat at restaurant A compare to restaurant B

So, everyday, we are performing research but not just in formal way (documentation, presentation, etc)

Doing a research is actually finding a solution for some problems. If there is a problem, there is a research. You will also doing a research for something that has not become problem for a long time. For example, you riding a bike, you are happy with that bike and suddenly someone give you a car. Then you will become excited again and leave behind that bike who does not have a problem at all. That is something we called as research for a better and brighter future.

We don't want to carry very big desktop computer but nowdays we are carrying a iPhone.
So, it is for better life and for the future where everyone need to move faster, travel shorter and eat faster, gain more income, and don't want to make more child anymore.LOL

I remembered that my mom used to say that the different between 50 years ago and now is most people today dont want to "hire more kids". Because they need to go to work, get more income, bring mercedes car back home and look tired and just go buy outside food without even know that what the hell have you feed you kids with ajinomoto foods and fast food.

Many kids become fat and gangsterisme is huge.

So, as a conclusion for this first part, research is for everyone.and everyone can learn whatever they want as long as it can contribute to human being.

Mind to cure to success

2010-01-24T07:41:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening guys

Well, I just want to talk a little about our health for today living

As we can see, the increasing rate of our health problems has become many people concern as many of us today want to live longer and stay young as long as we can get.

Some of us maybe affected by lot of disease and cancer that might not be cure except there is good fighting spirit and positive thinking using our powerful mind.

Speaking about our mind, the power of mind is miracle as it can also become a cure for many unresolved disease. Various miracle has happened all over the world as some of these patients (that now live happily and no cancer at all) fight their disease with their own mind.

Setting up our mind and the will to live without slightly negative thinking helps this patient to endure various kind of attack by their disease. In Islamic ways, the way of we keep praying and hope that we get the very healthy life plus with some afford will definitely bring good news to these kind of people

Our mind has some sorts of chemical that be able to fight the bad disease mechanism and make the disease go away and never appear again. Somehow this is what we called as our positive thinking and will to live.

Instead of cure, our mind can also set the things straight. Make sure that you will get whatever you want.

The theory behind this is a simple. Keep your powerful mind on target for your ambition and it automatically show you the way. Do it with confidence and positive thinking. Every mistakes can be treat as ways to success.

Failure is just a beginning and success is never ending target that we could never reach the end of it. It keeps on going and your target for success will increase. Example, you want to become Full Professor at the age before 40. but when you reaches that peak, you will find out that there is lot of other professor too and you target for success become higher and you want to become higher grade Professor with multiple and countless award by the government and worldwide.

Our mind is the strongest medium to fight anything and can stand whenever it likes. Make your powerful mind become greatest tools to succeed.

Assalamualaikum and Good Morning

Hi again, it's been wonderful morning today. You get up, wash your teeth, go jogging around at nearest garden, and then drink some orange juice at mamak stall. Then finally went home and sleep for few hours until noon.LOL

Today Im going to talk about research. Not some technical stuff but the truth story behind almost everyone I think or I can call it as most of experiences when doing your research.

This is the most exciting truth about doing your research.LOL. Your superior wants you to handle it quickly or soon as possible but at the end when come to submitting it yo your superior, it will takes more than forever just to wait for his reply (except you forcefully ask him whether they have done read your paper or review your paper)

Hahaha. I kind of really like this stuff and it is something that we can share among us. It is really wonderful experiences if your prefer my opinion. Because that is the way things happened for someone do research with reputable person or higher person especially when your supervisor or superior really busy with tight schedule in his calendar.

The point from this comic is whenever your do, just keep doing it and remember to follow up because they are quite busy sometime, Meet them during the lunch hour, of while walking at corridor of your faculty or whenever you see him empty handed and doing nothing (even though he might have something to be done within 10 minutes later on).

It is because when the time is come, you will become just like him and no wonder why researcher is quite busy especially for academician + researcher + doing some admin work.

Some high class Professor does not need to hear or attend any so called important meeting by the dean because for them it is not too important. Only for some reason, they will attend it as long it can bring them profit. Why?They already reached the peak status which is Professor. Do not need to bother with some funny stuff happens in the faculty or university. Just keep smilling and greeting people from various department and level can do the trick where most people really like you.

Just maintain the atmosphere with your fellow staff and everybody for sure will really like you eventhough you cannot attend meeting because they happy with you. That is for sure. Based on what I see in the previous university and meeting.

Btw, that condition only applied when you are in faculty status or near some pencen age. If you still in 40++ something with Full Professor, you need to become busy with tight schedule. You might be appointed as a Naib Canselor to other university based on political views from various sources.

TO be appointed as NC you need to have very outstanding and insane level of ability to handle various kind of tasks. You will be chosen and then carry on with interview by the board of the directors.

Wow. That is for someone who wants the NC.

If you ask me, I just want to reach Full Professor status before the age of 40 or earlier 40.

I don't care much about admin status. But when the time come, I will do it if they require my aid.LOL

It is true that past mistake done by your superior is transferred to you as a successor?

2010-01-17T07:33:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening .

11.34 pm here in Malacca, Air Keroh.LOL

Well, things is going tough this day especially when you realized that you are in debt with other people. So what kind of debt that I talking about?it is something about our relationship with relatives or your superior(someone in higher status than yourself)

You begin your work, your company suddenly has some economy breakdown but still operational and then you been appointed as new leader for that company replacing someone that already been kick out of your company because of so called worst performance even though your previous boss already do his best to save this company from going down. But because of the stakeholders that gave money still does not care about what happens (yeah because money is really important and they are not going to hear any excuses), you must make sure your company reputation is high as possible.

Well, bringing your company from bad one to good one is really tough work to do especially when most of your buyer for your product does not want to take any chance of buying new product from you based on their experiences. Still, it is not your mistake in your opinion and not their mistake for them to not trust your company. Both is not in fault but in reality, it is your family(company) fault in most people eyes.

So, work it out with other people in order to gain trust back is quite tough as you need to proof that you are really sorry for your product and guaranteed that your new product performance (for example your company new brand car) is going to become great as other car product in the market. You keep telling them and selling the product of your car and make lot of promise (risk to be taken) in order to gain their trust. Something need to be sacrificed in order to pull your company back in business. It involves lot of high degree risk that only successful person be able to take it no matter what the cost and hope that your company will surface again.

After all hard work that have been done, your company successfully gained trust among people and that is after all hard work day and night 24/7.

So, my point here is to address that there is still a solution for you to settle down any past mistake that has been done by your family. For example, maybe in the past, your family does not going to much to your cousins house but as now, you need to fix it and make sure that you really does not mean that and want to apologize for not visiting them.

Try to going a lot to their house while treat them with something nice and make sure all the laughter is going out and with the chit chat among your relatives. And remember, always make sure that your future generation does not repeat the same mistake as your superior done. Carry forward the success story and make the bad example made in the past for your future generation to learn that they (future generation) will always become better than us today.

That is all what I can say for now. Good Night all of you. Happy back to work tomorrow. Smile always and remember that tomorrow is always better than today and yesterday.

2010-01-16T08:21:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Hi

This is among various cases of son forgotten those who raised them since they was small kids. Due they realized that who gave them money to survive?Of course it is their father responsible in Islam to give money and raise their children.

However, that is why people today become very cruel. foolish. dirty. money-based oriented person.It is time. They dont want their time to be taken by such a action. Why bother send father to get some rawatan (this is what in their mind).

So, judging by that, they prefer friends rather than family. Friends is important but when come to family, threat your family first. I very respect for people who always care for their family first. For me, if something happens at the middle of chatting with some friends at some mamak stall and suddenly their family call for something eventhough it is not so important, I rather like them to go home and make them happy.

Family must first no matter what. Save what the most important to you. don't be cruel to them. it is so irritating that people raising their kids by just send their kids 24 hours to nursery with father and mother balik lewat nak mampus sebab keje banyak konon.

Then, when something happened, for example children get hurt in nursery, killed, raped, etc, they blame others and dont see in their mind what they are thinking.WHAT THEY ARE THINKING? Well, I'm quite sure not everyone that become victim of this crime think that it was their fault. for example, a true story, where they are many times I heard in big supermarket speaker was saying "Kepada sesiapa yang kehilangan anak berumur 6 tahun, memakai baju biru, dan bla bla, sila amik anak anda di kaunter". LOL. I think this is the f**king and idiot parent who don't know to handle their kid better. Sorry for the sentence but I have gave some protection by using asterisk.

Nampak sangat la punca-punca anak jadi tak betul bila dah besar.

So, which one should we point our middle finger?parent?i think it is correct. really correct. don't blame others, blame yourself, you are becoming Prof. Dr. but cannot raise your children better.Iman tak dapat diwarisi?LOL.funny, if so, then you should not send your children to school. Because if you are saying iman tak dapat diwarisi it means that your are out of your mind.Words and actions do not match. LOL.Poor this guy, got PhD in engineering but got zero talent in raising kid because he can only manage to eat some raisin.

I could not help it from point out this things as people just care about money and research without thinking. Im going to make sure that my kids in the future spend more time with me and my wife rather then with someone else.What?u cannot teach your children because they are bunch of expert in raising kids?expert nursery?Ahh come on, the perfect teacher should be you and your wife.before entering standard 1(darjah 1) or tadika, better for them for their mother to teach first.make them think that you are the best cikgu forever.Parent is the best lecturer/cikgu until the end of their time.

back again, I doing my research too but never back home late nor stay late at night. But I still can produce my good research even though it is not quite powerful as other person. But the things is, I have learned that in order to gain something, you must sacrifice something. Theory of equivalent. Healthy food is very so "not very delicious to eat" but the bad food is from the very delicious one.LOL. It is annoying to me when I read this news.

Some people think that father and mother is nuisance for certain. It is our fault too that we only keep our money just for our own and just pay some zakat and derma masjid only.This is not good enough. Care to donate RM1k once a year to some Badan Kebajikan?not many people be able to do that.

If not why not joining some society and actively give people some free lectures or whoever can help people out there that does not have money just like you. Why you are driving Alphard but look down to poor people?Well, there is many thought in my head. I will do whatever I can to help those people and earth. Especially for endanger species of animals and forest. but thanks for those people who care.

Im razor, i can write anything I want as long it is truth.

Some new year thought

2010-01-11T18:46:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and good morning all(eventhough now is 10.46 am)

Well, it seems we now in 2010 where it something very annoying as we got older every single day and year.hahaha.

There is many thought happening in my mind for this first few weeks of 2010.

this semester is the first one that I will be teaching officially and handle all the coursework and so on.

It is quite something for me to teach student and Im quite ready and go for it.

The teaching method always been in debate as the way of teaching somehow effect the student information gathering. Some student mind only get the important aspect of the teaching while some others interpret into other meaning.

The reason behind this we must think as a student and not just give them some teaching on the road without step in their shoes. give lot of tutorial and exercise does not mean that they can score in their final. Open book test does not make the student weaker or greater. it is only the data that they want.

Im honestly really like the style of open book test as the student do not need to memorize all the steps as even though we as researcher or lecturer somehow cannot memorize all the formula especially in mathematics.

Except for some fact based style, do not use this method. this method only apply for some calculation style teaching where it needs the question to be answered in calculation manner.

it depends how we distribute our knowledge to the user or student. How we produce our note that given to the student. Remember only us as lecturer know what in our mind. do not ever think that they know everything. but of course they need to search for themselves but the point is that what ever knowledge we have, we must distribute them and share with them. But some of lecturers dont. maybe because they are lazy enough to bring it out of their mind.

That is what I have been thought for today but wait, there more to discuss later on especially on the scary accident involved lot of dead people. Somehow people does not realize it just a matter of time before our time come to the end. How you may aspect of your death?softly and comfort death for everyone?no exceptional?nope.

the truth is that never afraid of what you are doing, just keep doing it but remember it is up to you if want to live or not. but the death sure come. even it is by your mistakes, others mistakes, nature cause, or etc.

Forgive and Forget

2009-12-26T04:22:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening all

Well, it seems today is energetic days for me again as I ride to Kluang to watch my fren wedding.

But today topic I going to simplify what is the meaning of ask for forgiveness.

When we learn that we made a mistake, we must seek for forgiveness from that person.

Why we must give an excuse for something that we already made and not apologize?

Ask for forgiveness, give reason why that is happened and everything is supposed to be fine again.

But again, human never learn from mistake, that is why we sometimes does not realize that we already made a mistake, and cannot go beyond that mistake anymore. We felt terrible and hard to apologize, and sometime we let it until the mistake is revealed on its on. On that time we only seek for forgiveness.

But for me, I think I ready to know why past always look bad for me, everyday I aim to become more wiser than yesterday. I know that there is a lot of mistakes that had been done but nothing can go back again. I felt terrible for that mistake and that is why in this new place i want to begin something new. that is why Allah gave me this new place to start new one. It is not over yet to start new one.

I believed that this is the place to start new one and myself. I need to become myself again and never become anyone else. I need to become me. I love my fiancee very much and how deep my love for her. I cared only about her and her only in this world to become my wife.amin.

I promise that I will start new one of this life and give her that comfort her about what im doing in here, until the best day to come within at least 1 year from now, I pray that I will do the best.

Life

2009-12-25T07:42:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and good happening.LOL

Well, I have been summoned by myself to write some article how tough life we must keep going everyday.

Just imagine how terrible the life of someone that experiences some bad things and never let go that negative feelings. I cannot fell asleep cause bunch of people most probably from Vietnamese i make some noise singing some cheap song and never heard of. Bad song and bad voices.

Today crime is most probably the worse and keep on becoming worse. robbery, rape, and murder are the common types of crime.

if you left your house unlocked and then theif and robber most probably can get in within a second.

If you keep walk alone especially for girls and woman, you probably have a danger road ahead of you.

If you are not be careful with other peoples you might becoming a victim of murderer.

Life is full of crime and how can we life such a life?

It is not safe anymore for today life. What we can do is just keep avoiding them by at least put some effort of safety measurement. in Kuala Lumpur and Johor, the highest of those three cases. crime cases.

Even a small children ages between 1 to 7 years old become a victim of sexual harassment.

So, it is something that annoying me couple of times because I care about the our people as a muslim. As a muslim we definitely must care about the people.

But,...

What are the rich is care about the poorer?

Why should they care?

All they want is to keep working both husband and wife and leaving behind their daughter and sons to grandmother and grandfather. or just put them into nursery to be taken care until grow up. Their father does not know much about their sons and daughters and never 100% play with their children.

So sad that today world is keep chasing for the money. Money that can be say to save everything. But what money can buy if all those bad things happened?What money can do if you die without knowing you only spend only a weekend with your sons and daughters?Death is everywhere and everytime. Even if you got married within 4 hours, even with only 2 years, some not have kesempatan untuk berkahwin and the person die.

Im telling this because it is the time for people to know that we must care for our people. We not bunch of loser that does not know what their left and right neighbors are.

You wake up earlier in the morning, go to office, back again, rest, have dinner with your sons and daughters and then sleep again, and only 4 weeks later you will bring along your children to somewhere. have some vacation with your handphone and mind keep thinking of work.

All I can say is, rich does not mean anything and also mean everything. if you put it on the right way, it will shows you the right way. but if you failed to put it into the correct way, it will brings you to the dangerous road that you never know that kind of future and hatred will you bring to communities.

Prevent it before it happens. grow your children peacefully and perfectly.

Until now, be careful, think about your future, don't chase money, don't chase reputation, but chase your life happiness. Something that never can be buy without your heart feel it.

Life is great.Make it perfect.

2009-12-21T07:34:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum and good evening guys!!

Yeah, it is been wonderful day for us to cheer today. Well it almost midnight, but i think i going to sleep after this.

Im not going to discuss much but it is about how we plan our future and not our future plan for us.

Most people just wait for future plan them rather let their life plan for future. Some just follow the usual direction and wait for the chance is coming. Some implement it half way and some just follow completely without hesitate.

As for me, Im going to plan my future up until I become someone that I already targeting. I want my future to be shaped according to my direction and not by others. I want to become best for myself and decide which is the best for me.

Waiting for another year to continue study is quite bad example for local institution. If there are not ready to hire the correct person to do the teaching and research, then why keep hiring and give them unwilling future direction?

Perhaps this is why so much thing happens and the policy keep updating and never stop. It is bad and it is good. The best thing is it cares for the staff but the bad thing is it prevents the staff from continue PhD directly. they must wait for a turn to continue, etc

As for me, Im going to study myself PhD and not taking the correct way of further study. It still the same, all get the same PhD and can be called as Dr. Some just want to have that title only and some just because the university wants it. SO that is why some PhD holder does not meet the expectation and not even do the research after complete their PhD. Supposedly they need to maintain and keep upgrading their research skills and continue to produce good result.

Then, they will teach student from local universities and this helps government to save budget to send student to overseas because they already lot of PhD holder can teach and supervise the student to do PhD or master degree.

Overseas versus local?Well it depends on how your described it. I know Im going to use people money when study overseas and that is why we must struggle according to the money given. Some money is taken from poor family that still need to pay taxes.

Well, same goes to local for that reason. However, i want to continue my PhD as soon as possible to avoid any necessary option to be unavailable.

Willing to take risk of hidden PhD is quite good as it can motivate yourself to become self independent even though you only see your supervisor once a month just because supervisor duduk too far away from semenanjung (most likely in Sabah state)

Well, that's it for today, i am going to sleep and watch the time goes by. but PhD is to be registered on July 2010.

Assalamualaikum and good day people!!

yeah, it is been a while since the last time I wrote something. But today topic is not going to be hot as not much activity has I undergone today.

Today, the day that full with just research, eat, and sleep only. not much work has been done but research is my best friend as I need to constantly know what the real basic of my research. What is Continuous Collision Detection exactly. What it does and what it does not. It is something that basic must be strong in order to coupe with the CCD problems later on.

Actually, the reason behind this is because I cannot wait for another 3 or 4 years to continue my PhD and I know that I can finish my PhD alone within that time. That is why I'm going to finish my PhD as full time by maintaining hidden from any person. No one should know and there is no one can say no to me. I have lot of universities that still need me.

I will register for my PhD on July 2010 where it is my first semester. Then hopefully it will be end around 2013. When that time im suppose to continue my PhD. Well, I waiting for my VIVA on that time.^^.receive PhD at the age of below 30 is something quite good and great.

Well, that it is for today. No one can stop me and you should know that. If you dont agree with me. fine. lot of people still agree with me and no one care. I don't care a bit people saying anything about me. I follow myself and not follow others. Others just can show road which to take and no one can say anything about that.

Assalamualaikum and Good evening guys!!!

Well, It has been a wonderful day for 1 Muharam 1431

Many activities with family has been setup for those who have kids and children.

Some couple who getting married this month already has many days to celebrate as we get pass day every 3 consecutive weeks. Wow. that is wonderful things.

Well, for those who are not getting married yet, still have to wait for that day while sit in front of computer because you must save your budget for your marriage later on. Now days budget for marriage is around RM30k - Rm40 for really good wedding ceremony.

Me?

Alhamdullilah, I already engaged with my fiancee last week(last two weeks to be exact). But the thing is that I need to save budget for my marriage day/wedding day.

That is why I cannot wait for that day to come as I finally have someone to take care and look into forever. I will have a children and good family in the future hopefully. amin.

The reason why we are not alone is because the reason of why human is existed in this world.

Human need someone to talk to

Human need to be teach, walk, sing, etc and lot more.

Human has emotional state in his/her brain.

That is why human will never live alone. he/she needs someone.

In community, I have been thinking that it is hurt to be alone. Not getting married yet is one thing as friend will eventually getting married too and leave you alone.

Your wife will never leave you alone if you take care of her seriously. You will become cheer as you watch your kids playing some video games, running around in your house will your wife is cooking in the kitchen. That is something that you should always smilling.

Think deep into your heart and how important of yourself to them. Your family is no 1 in your life as well as your mother and father and then relatives.

Life is short, make it perfects as it will never wait for you...

Alone is very painful and make your feel something wrong in your life.

I love my fiancee very much and cannot wait to get married with her in 2010/2011. Im praying so that I will save my money for that day and that day I will never alone again.amin. Because I love her so much and she will become my strength in this world.

Blame

2009-11-03T06:13:00.000-08:00

Blame v2

Assalammualaikum All

Well, today as usual, I would like to discuss few things that I learned today

Blame, why people always blame and hate each other very much?

It is for satisfaction?It is for revenge?it is some emotional state?It is because you

really hate it so much?

All of them come from -> Anger

Anger is our bad enemy, from anger, many types of crime is committed by people. So much

hate and bring hatred in their heart. Some people stored it for many years. Some took 30

years of hatred deep inside their heart.

How on earth they become like that?Why it is so much pain when someone did some mistake and

already ask for forgiveness for that?

What is the reason behind all this?You want to keep going by just keep in heart forever?You

are the perfect person so that you cannot forgive what he did?

Why hatred become so much vague to human eyes but so clear in deep inside human heart?

What is heart?Can it die someday?yes, but if their heart is fixed to Allah S.W.T., our

heart never dies and continue to live on forever. Where?In many peoples in the future.

Case 1; Worker stop working, "letak jawatan" because she hate so much working with the

boss. Why would she do that?Where hate come from? Again, as the matter facts, she didnt do

her work pretty good and always caught "taking a nap". And then when the nice boss get

angry, then you blame the boss and want to letak jawatan. Nice Boss is the nice boss and he

has it right to tell you what to do and what not to do. Otherwise quit your work now. Don't

blame your boss. It is because of you. When you do something wrong and it is your fault.

Your boss can be blamed if they did something that is not right. But what happened to the

good boss?Can they be blamed too?

And then the worker were trying to blackmail by calling another company and trying to steal

customer from "I hate so much my previous boss" company.

How you are going to treat something like that?

What is going to happens to their sons and daughters if the parent is behaving something

like that? Poor kid, they deserverd something better from their parent but their parent

just did not know how to handle kids. They only got married because they want their child

grow fast and help family in the future. No planning at all.

Just look at me, I planning that in the future after get married, for example, one of my

son in the future I want him to become something like me (researcher) but far more better

in Islamic way. I pray to the Allah S.W.T so my children in the future behave in Islamic

way.

How I'm going to have child like that if I act like a sh*t in community?

Kids can be planned for their future and of course in Al-Quran state that. Even if there is

some obstacle, it is Allah S.W.T test procedure. Allah is testing us what we suppose to do

is something like this and that happened?Can you make the right choice?

Hence, it is really depend on the parent of our child in the future. Leader must be blamed

and no one else. it always to be the leader. Crime so high? Well why not apply hudud?
Even if we catch all the bad guys, it still cannot because as long as human step on this

earth, human always hate each other and the crime never reach 0 until the end of time. Even

Ustaz or Mufti got caught for unknown reason. bad person got caught, good person got

caught. So what we suppose to do anyway?

The answer simple, stay alive and never give up in growing up our child and kids so they

become better then ourself.

Ustaz

2009-11-01T22:19:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum

hello guys,

well, most of us must be aware of some situation that currently happening in this year 2000++.

Imagine, in the past, "Ustaz" is known because of their "warak" and bring knowledge to us about Islam since we were in darjah 1 until sekolah menengah.

Im in not in the mood to speak english today.

Bayangkan pada ketika ini, terdapat pelbagai jenis ustaz yang kita tempuhi.

Ada ustaz sebab dia memang pekerjaan dia - if gaji sikit bising2 dll.

Ada ustaz yang jadi ustaz sebab dia dulu nak jadi Dr. tapi dah belajar tak dapat tinggi pastu gi belajar agama dan jadi la ustaz skolah rendah.

Ada golongan yang dulunya mengaji pandai dan skg pun mengaji pandai tapi kenapa perangai ntahhapahapaentah?

Ada golongan ustaz kaya yang menjalankan bisness tetapi pada masa yang sama kenapa ada banyak sekali fitnah berlaku disekelilingnya?

Ada golongan ustaz yang memang dilahirkan dari kecil untuk berkecimpung dan didalam dadanya ingin membangunkan syiar Islam tanpa mengira wang, harta, dan dll dan sanggup berkorban demi agamanya

jelas sekali golongan dibawah tersebut amatlah sedikit pada masa sekarang.

Persoalannya; kenapa menjadi sebegitu?

Bukankah golongan ustaz ini patutnya semuanya baik dan membangunkan syiar Islam dan anak2 disekolah dapat dididik dengan sempurnanya?

kenapa ibu bapa harus juga dipersalahkan kerana membesarkan anak tanpa mempedulikan apa yang anak buat dan belajar kerana sibuk dengan research dan harta dunianya?

Ini lah menjadikan bumi ini tidak sanggup lagi meneruskan kehidupannya. kemusnahan bumi adalah sangat pasti dan tanda-tanda kiamat kecil sudah berada di mana jua. Tak terkecuali perbuatan sejadah berdiri yang saya rasa merupakan sebahagian daripadanya gimik orang ramai kerana tidak dapat dibuktikan secara benar.

Seharusnya, kita harus mengambil iktibar yang kejadian2 seperti ini ada maksudnya dan tidak boleh sekadar rasa takjub sahaja. Anggaplah ianya tanda kebesaran Allah.

Berbalik kepada persoalan tadi. Ustaz contohnya, kenapa ada kes2 yang tidak kena di khalayak ramai?

betulkah dia seorang ustaz ataupun sekadar bertopengkan ustaz?

kenapa begitu banyak sekali fitnah dan juga kata2 orang?

Saya mendapat Professor Dr. Yusoff Al- Qardawi tidak pula diperkatakan mcm2 oleh media tetapi ada ustaz di Malaysia masuk paper sebab kene tangkap khalwat dan pelbagai lagi smp berpisah suami isteri walaupun suaminya ustaz.

Jika dia benar2 ustaz maka dia dapat mengawal rumah tanggannya. tetapi nampak sgt betapa lemahnya dia sebagai pemimpin

In my opinion, there are lot of people out there who actually a fake person that claimed to be useful to community. They just used their fake ID in order to gain people attention.

Something that need to be think

When every working..

2009-10-31T06:23:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum

Yeah, it is good to be alive each day and breath calmly. Thanks to Allah S.W.T that gave us life each day in order to live on. Allah never pick races, never pick which side are you and never care whether you are black or white, poor or rich, bad or good are you. Each day everyone have their life and some of them must be called back by Allah S.W.T where we must accept the truth that life is the power of Allah. HE can take back anytime and anywhere HE wants.

Back again, where everyone is working,

Before this, when we are together study in the hostel room...laughing and cheering..and go eat somewhere together, we think that is the most exciting where friends are there. It is the same with me, together with my girlfriend. together go eat somewhere. Where at that time, there is no office hour to catch!!.yeah

But, as time go through, we got a job and no more get much time to go out with friends and so on. If we advance our time more further, we will realized that most of us already married or getting married. So, what happens after that is something we called as we are growing up. We become alone and cannot wait to get married too because for normal people, it is not good enough for us to stay alone forever.

For myself, I want to get married with my girlfriend and please pray for us that next year we are getting married.Amin.

Ops, not finish yet.

Meanwhile, for this world, it isnormal for daily life and how world continuously spin. We grew up, we went to school, university, get a job, get a family, get a kids, getting old, and wait for our life to be taken back to Allah S.W.T.

Why Allah S.W.T perfectly has arrange something like this?

It is because HE gave time for us to do good deeds and become good to everyone. So, in order to make this life better, we must perform good deeds and never become a bad person. Truly most of human is forgotten what they supposed to do. They just want to enjoy their life continuosly and never care about others. let the poor become poor and let the rich enjoy their money for their own.

hence, I found that, life is something too valuable. this is not just for the life in this world...this is for the life in another world. Lets go catch both world that have been waiting for us.

Finally, it is quite normal for us to feel alone when most of our friends already in working time. So, i think it is time for you to have a family am I right?
but first, you must your own objective of your life. Life without amibition and goals is like a dead person. We must strive for tomorrow.

Go and become a very good amibitous and religous person.

may Allah S.W.T bless us.Amin.

Hopefully my article does not hurt anybody as Im just a person who did and do mistakes. Please, feel free to response to this article. thank you.

Crime

2009-10-30T17:18:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum

Crime.

Why crime is always increasing and never show a sign of stopping?

Well, that is something that we need to sacrifice in order to have nice and rich life in this world.

We becoming rich but at the same time, some people mostly become poor.

Too many come to the city and there is no empty job left and resulting theif, robbery, rape, and many things.

So, how we are going to prevent this from happening to us?perhaps in the future we must do something

1. Make sure you know your neighbors
2. Always suspect for somebody that always pass through in front of our house
3. Know multiple exit if something happens when you walking back from office alone
4. Travel more than 4,5 persons, More is better
5. Always bring some safety to attack the person that try to do something to you.
6. Don't fight with them, give them all they want
7. Run if you have a courage and never look back. go towards police station and crowd. the best is in the middle of the road.
8. If got attack from behind. knock his stomach and run away!!. they never got a chance to attack you back if you hit hard enough.
9. Always travel in crowd even though it is quite far. don't take any dangerous shortcut.

So, i think there are lot of things can be done to prevent instead of praying to the Allah S.W.T to guarantee our safety.Amin.

Do you wish to save someone?

2009-10-28T07:24:00.000-07:00

Assalammualaikum

Yup, time to save somebody?

From what?From who?Why do you want to save somebody?It is necessary for you and risk your life and future?It is for money?It is for what?

Well, many of us think that it is necessary to find something that really important to them in their life. Part of our live already been searching for something or someone that can save either yourself or themselves.

The nature of human is always give hope. they always talk so much in the past and at the end only small parts of human in this world really made their hope come true and most of them fail to do it.

Why human is so capable to give so much talk and never get things done?It is because they think they want to become so cool or someone that really good at it ?

Well, ignorance is always a bliss. Make promise is never easy as making cake in the kitchen except you buy it from local store and give it to your neighbor to try brand new cake that u incidentally bought it because of your selfishness of maintaining your reputation.

However, as human never rich for perfection as they are very greedy to buy new car instead of maintaining current car is their reputation will dropped to almost zero if they stay with their current position.

Well, that is how today world work, People try to catch something else leaving behind any past the make them sick.

I intend to leave this discussion to you as it never stopped even though so many thought has be given and shown to people. People always try to deny the truth and continue to live with lies is always in their head.

Foolish people. Let we show them how our muslim can become more powerful than them.

We, muslim must stand and fight. Make our future more brighter.

Hatred

2009-10-24T02:09:00.001-07:00

Hello again!!

yeah.

Well, today is the third day of my car having his so called "plastic surgery by painting with new color".LOL. But, Im on the way to show that new color as soon as my car is done painting by workshop.

Hatred. Why human so deceiving that hatred become parts of his life?It is because he or she has done something terrifying and cannot be so forgiving?Why Allah S.W.T can perfectly forgive us if we made a mistake?Why human cannot and never become one?

The answer it is because the human is not perfect and never perfect. They keep saying they are not perfect but in their heart they want to become perfect is possible. They actually just follow what people are saying that "human is not perfect" but deep down in their heart, perfect is they most they sacrifice for it.

No one know what I mean to you, in that case, we all in our responsible. We never satisfied with each other and of course that is the way of human live. We struggling, fighting, arguing, saying something unreasonable, making cake, etc.

Why Gerai No. 1 is not the same with Gerai No.2?
Why people eat at Gerai No.1 more than Gerai No.2?
It is because when people come, you see the condition and think that the Gerai No.1 is the best because many people and some people saying so.

Yup, it is quite right, it is Gerai No.2 responsible not to prepare for something better than Gerai No1. even though the food list is the same.

But still, some people would like to eat at Gerai No.2, while there are some people still think "why I eat here (at Gerai No.1) where Gerai No.2 I think the food is better?"

Well, different people have different taste. Most people just follow and never arguing. this kind of people id the most disgusting on this Earth. never contribute to anything.Their mind is blocked by other people

back to topic, hatred. WHy people hate each other after some events?

Even though he did not means any harm and also learned the mistake?

Why it is hard?It is because "When you got hurt , we must keep in our heart and never accept the person as before"?

Why this thing happened?So many why that most people do not bother to ask again their heart. They just follow old folks that "Patah Gigi Tidak berganti dan tidak boleh disambung"

They bunch of old guys. Don't take it 100% and you are always better than previous person. Accept it in your way!! Make yourself out of this misery by introducing your mind to something more wider and not too timid.

Yup, I know that they most experienced than us. But it is they are too perfect that we must 100% accept what they taught us?Why not accept it with some modification and improvement?

Technique and technology always improve and so the quality or muslim world.

We must gain knowledge and keep gaining!! become the most quality and powerful muslim in this world.

Be with Al-Quran and Hadith

Be with yourself and see right through what Al-Quran and Hadith are saying to us.

Forgive each other and start a better tomorrow.

Why malay people so many involved in rape?in robbery?in drug addict?

because of their parent and friends.

They growing up by bad condition whether they are rich or not. both is the same.

Rich - growing with alchocol and drug
poor - growing with bad friends and try some cheap drug and involve with robbery,rape and drug addict

It is 100% they to blame?Why not their parents and friends?and the past?

It is internet fault?

Or it is because of parent?

Think for yourself...if all parent keep on forgive and teach their sons and daughters how the world in the future, we have a better place to stay tomorrow..
otherwise, just what Al-Quran was saying and hadith by Rasulullah S.A.W was saying;
"terdapat sungguh banyak dikalangan kamu namun kamu bagaikan buih dilaut yang hilang bila dihanyut ombak"

Why Your Office 2007 is slow in Vista 64Bit

Solution

Disable Add In that for 32bit. They are conflicting each other with 64 Bit.

Re: Word 2007 make Vista 64-bit run extreamly slow
Mong,
I have been having the same problem. My problem is because of the EndNote X1 add-in. The people from EndNote indicate that, since it is a 32-bit program, it will cause strange behaviors with Word 2007 in a 64-bit OS. I had to completely disable the add-in to get Word to run smoothly in Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

Kind of disappointing as the Cite-While-You-Write feature is one of the best things about the program! Either I lose that ability and have a 'smooth experience', or I keep it enabled and get the perk from the program.

So, your problem, while perhaps not related to EndNote (you might not have it), could be related to an add-in for a program not designed for a 64-bit OS.

My suggestion is to disables your add-ins one at a time to see which one is causing the lag.

I hope that helps.

Kepercayaan Karut Bangsa Melayu

2009-10-17T16:56:00.000-07:00

Selamat pagi semua kepada pembaca2 yang budiman

Terlintas saya untuk menulis artikel ini kerana percaya sesetengah bahkan lebih dari setengah masih lagi percaya akan kepercayaan-kepercayaan yang karut dan menyebabkan menyimpang dari agama Islam. Ini menyebabkan kemunduran dari segi akhlak dan amat tidak sesuai sekali bagi agama kita.

Zaman dulu nenek moyang kita membuat banyak pantang larang contohnya:-
1. tangkal azimat
2. adik tidak boleh berkahwin sebelum abang atau kakak(langkah bendul)
3. mandi buang sial, mandi safar
4. mempercayai tangkap gambar 3 orang tidak boleh.nanti boleh mati
5. jika dapat isteri tinggi daripada suami, murah rezeki
6. tepung tawar
7. anak dara tidak boleh menyanyi di dapur nanti dapat suami tua
8. persandingan, pelamin
9. orang yang berkhatan tak boleh jalan luar rumah
10. jika ada biawak melintas, maknanya ada perkara buruk akan berlaku
11. malam 7 likur

apa itu adat?
adat = kebiasaan

"eh betul awak nak kahwin bulan depan?bukan kakak awak tak kahwin lagi?
ORANG TUA-TUA KATA, adik tak boleh kahwin dulu dari kakak, nanti jodoh tak panjang"

Sudah diketahui, bangsa kita kaya dengan adat.
Daripada mana adat ini datang?
Sudah tentu dari zaman nenek moyang kita yang dipengaruhi pelbagai unsur,
dimana pada zaman itu juga ustazah yang mengajar tidak memakai tudung.

dan pelbagai lagi. itu tak termasuk fahaman orang setiap negeri contohnya negeri sembilan yang adat pepatih dan pepatah atau ntahapahapantah.

Zaman tersebut penuh dengan adat dan tidak dinafikan masih segelintir masyarakat yang mengaku Islam sepenuhnya percaya dengan adat tersebut. Bagi saya meninggalkan adat yang tidak elok seperti percaya sesuatu selain Qada dan Qadar Allah adalah sesuatu yang merosakkan akidah.

Saya fikir, masyarakat yang Islam sekarang perlu insaf dan sedar yang kita mesti berfikir seperti masyarakat kelas pertama dan maju dalam Islam. kita bukan lagi dibawah pengaruh agama nenek moyang dan hidup mestilah berlandaskan Al-Quran dan hadis dimana para ulama akan jadi penyampainya atau sesiapa yang lebih arif dalam bidang agama. dalam islam tak sebut pun hidup mesti berlandaskan nenek moyang atau ibubapa atau sahabat handai. semua mesti merujuk kepada Al-Quran dan hadis.

Jadi, kepada rakan2 sekalian. untuk generasi akan datang janganlah percaya kepada adat2 ini. tiada pun dalam Al-Quran dan Nabi Muhammad S.A.W pun telah bersabda jgn percaya kepada perkara2 yang dikatakan membawa sial. Pegang kepada Al-Quran dan hadis dan hidup pasti selamat.

Wallahuallam

Happy Deeparaya

Assalamualaikum and Good Afternoon
LOL.Hi people out there

yeah, quite alot happened this days.

Well, today there are two Open House . One in Taman Desa Kesang (my tutor fren) and at Merlimau (Encik Imran house) - abang naim

Firstly, let we sedekahkan AL-Fatihah to Late father of Imamal Muslimim that passed away 8.15 pm yesterday , 16 october 2009. Semoga Allah tempatkannya ditempat orang-orang beriman.Amin.

it is been quite good after all class has finished and now it is time to make some research and teaching plan for next semester. Btw, Im ready to face my viva and I just cannot wait for it.
yeah

Next year in 2010 maybe at the end of 2010, I will continue my PhD in local university. maybe just in UKM, Bangi. under same course which is Collision Detection and Computer Graphics. Supervisor would be from UKM and collaborate with UMS which is Dr. Abdullah. my former lecturer and supervisor for my master degree.

My wish is to hopefully I will get married in 2010. Amin.

No suprise

2009-10-04T18:48:00.000-07:00

Hello, It is quite charming day with full of tasks that need to be settle down either quickly or slowly.

Btw, I would like to give some of my thinking about this song no suprise by daughtry.

Well, when we look at ourself, we found that we live at the moment we are now. There is no telling what future might bring but hey, we are still alive until now.

So, do we like tough day ahead of us?Some people like challenge and I did think that people really like easy day ahead. We make it easier by plan day by day and task by task.

Just like our boss ask us to finish this our job. We plan and plan according to our time.

For me, I like to settle down any job as quickly as possible and then I got free time ahead of me.

But, some people do it in order and within time given. Do in smaller tasks and then when the dateline arrive, it finished.

There is no surprise in tomorrow if we know what happens. Why? because we already knew it and got nothing to do. We live in too much tension in our head as we know tomorrow tough day will come and definitely come no matter what. So, I think that the future is something that will come in surprise and that's make our day tomorrow is the best than yesterday.

Nickelback also in their song If today was your last day, made me thinking that we must make sure our day (today) is the best and when it comes tomorrow, it will be better than today.

Aidilfitri

2009-09-23T05:06:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum guys

Well, how is your hari raya?Yeah, having a good time with family is the best in our life.yeah

Today, read the below article that stated about how Muslim nowdays become weak due to perpecahan that occured. Why muslim is getting separate?Why they fight each other even though Allah S.W.T said

Allah SWT telah memberikan peringatan yang jelas dan tegas dalam al-Quran berhubung perpaduan umat Islam apabila berfirman dalam surah Ali Imran ayat 103 bermaksud: "Berpegang teguhlah kamu semua dengan tali Allah dan janganlah bercerai-berai.''

Peringatan itu diberikan kerana Allah juga telah mengingatkan dalam firman-Nya dalam surah Al-Mu'minun ayat 52 bahawa: "Sesungguhnya umatku ini adalah umat yang satu.''

So, why in Indonesia they celebrated the aidilfitri in different day? Well, it depends on your answer. Even in Malaysia we have some muslims fight with each other, saying something bad to each other. Sedangkan Allah clearly said. WE MUST UNITE AND BECOME ONE AS A MUSLIM AND BROTHERS.

So, why such thing happens to us?Why we fight?Why in Palestine they still get attack by Israel?I don't think that israel is quite good in military or technology.They only small. But we have multiple times than them but we have no technology or knowledge to fight them. because we are really weak. really weak in knowledge and just some poor weak.

Syiah and As-sunnah keep fighting. too bad because they both muslim and fight with each other. this is totally ridiculous. Islam is perfect and the only thing that is not perfect is human.

Original Article from http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2009&dt=0922&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Rencana&pg=re_01.htm

WALAUPUN hampir keseluruhan umat Islam di seluruh dunia menyambut Aidilfitri kelmarin tetapi ada juga segelintir yang menyambut kedatangan 1 Syawal pada Sabtu lalu.

Setakat ini kita hanya mengetahui bahawa sambutan Aidilfitri sehari lebih awal itu dilakukan oleh tiga kelompok di Indonesia iaitu Jemaah An-Nazir di Gowa, Sulawesi Selatan; Jemaah Al Muhthor di Tulungagung, Jawa Timur dan Tarekat Naqsabandiyah di Padang, Sumatera Barat.

Ketiga-tiga jemaah berkenaan memberikan alasan tersendiri kenapa mereka menyambut Aidilfitri lebih awal.

Pemimpin jemaah An-Nasir, Lukman A Bakti berkata, mereka bukan sebarangan berbuat demikian. "Kami melihat berdasarkan tanda-tanda alam dan penelitian mendasar yang dilakukan oleh anggota jemaah An-Nadzir.''

Itulah hujah jemaah itu yang mendakwa mempunyai 10,000 ahli di seluruh Indonesia, Malaysia dan Singapura.

Menurut Lukman, penentuan awal Syawal diketahui dengan tiga kaedah iaitu hisab, perhitungan matematik astronomi, rukyah yakni melihat keberadaan bulan dengan mata serta mengukur titik surut air laut di pantai.

Di Tulungagung, Jawa Timur pula, berpuluh-puluh jemaah Al Muhthor pimpinan Habib Ahmad Bin Salim Al Muhdlor menyambut Aidilfitri pada 19 September iaitu tarikh melihat anak bulan di Malaysia.

Mereka yakin, hari Sabtu sudah memasuki 1 Syawal, sesuai dengan hisab yang mereka lakukan. Apa yang anehnya, salah seorang jemaah memberitahu media Indonesia bahawa sambutan itu berlandaskan kepada ajaran pemimpin utama mereka iaitu Habib Ahmad yang sewaktu beliau masih hidup mengutamakan perayaan Aidilfitri berbanding perkara lain.

Ternyata mereka tidak tahu apakah penentuan dilakukan secara hisab, rukyah atau sebagainya, apa yang mereka tahu ialah meneruskan ajaran Habib Ahmad yang sudah pun meninggal dunia.

Di Indonesia, suatu ketika pernah berlaku salah satu pertubuhan Islam terbesar di negara itu, Muhammadiyah menyambut Aidilfitri lebih awal, tetapi tahun ini pertubuhan berkenaan mengikut umat Islam yang lain berhari raya pada Ahad.

Mungkin bagi sesetengah daripada kita, apa yang dilakukan oleh ketiga-tiga kumpulan tersebut adalah perkara biasa kerana ia kerap berlaku setiap kali menyambut awal Ramadan mahupun Aidilfitri.

Tetapi apakah pula kesannya kepada umat Islam secara keseluruhannya? Adalah jelas tindakan kumpulan-kumpulan itu yang dilihat lari dari mengikuti kumpulan majoriti umat Islam hanya akan memberikan persepsi yang buruk kepada Islam itu sendiri?

Pihak-pihak tertentu terutamanya bukan Islam yang mahu mencari kelemahan umat Islam, mungkin akan menjadikan apa yang berlaku itu sebagai isyarat sememangnya umat Islam tidak boleh bersatu.

Mereka akan berhujah, kalau untuk menyambut Hari Raya pun kita sudah berbezabeza pendapat, bagaimana dengan soal-soal utama lain? Berdasarkan apa yang dilakukan oleh tiga kumpulan berkenaan, hujah oleh pihak tersebut memang ada kebenarannya.

Hakikatnya, kita tidak mempedulikan apa juga hujah yang hendak dikeluarkan oleh puak umat Islam yang menyambut Aidilfitri berkenaan, tetapi dalam masa yang sama mereka harus memikirkan kesannya kepada umat Islam secara keseluruhan.

Selama ini sudah cukup kita menyaksikan di sesetengah negara terutamanya di Iraq, umat Islam yang melafazkan syahadah yang sama tetapi berbeza mazhab sering berbunuhan sesama sendiri.

Masing-masing pengikut mazhab sama ada Syiah mahupun Sunah Wal Jamah sering menuding jaring menyalahkan antara satu sama lain. Apa yang dikesalkan mereka melakukan serangan bom yang kesudahannya hanya membunuh sesama Islam.

Akibat daripada perbezaan inilah ia telah memudahkan kelompok tertentu mengambil kesempatan dan akhirnya, biarpun Iraq kini dilihat sudah mentadbir sendiri tetapi hakikatnya masih dijajah.

Semua itu berlaku kerana umat Islam tidak bersatu. Ada di kalangan kita sanggup menjadi tali barut kepada musuh Islam untuk membunuh saudara Islam.

Persoalannya, apakah mereka yang menyambut Aidilfitri ini tidak memikirkan bahawa perbuatan mereka boleh mewujudkan tafsiran bahawa umat Islam sememangnya suka berpecah belah.

Perpecahan yang berlaku sama ada daripada segi tarekat, mazhab mahupun politik boleh menyebabkan umat Islam menjadi lemah. Inilah perkara yang sememangnya diketahui oleh umat Islam tetapi mereka sengaja melupakan kerana masing-masing hendak menegakkan apa yang 'diperjuangkan'.

Peringatan itu diberikan kerana Allah juga telah mengingatkan dalam firman-Nya dalam surah Al-Mu'minun ayat 52 bahawa: "Sesungguhnya umatku ini adalah umat yang satu.''

Kedua-dua firman Allah itu jelas menunjukkan bahawa dalam apa pun keadaan umat Islam itu perlu bersatu dan bukannya berpecah-belah. Malah kita tidak harus melakukan perkara yang boleh dilihat hanya mewujudkan perpecahan sesama kita.

Oleh itu adalah sesuatu yang mendukacitakan apabila dalam menyambut 1 Syawal pun kita mempunyai perbezaan. Sepatutnya sempena hari yang mulia itu kita bersatu padu dan bermaaf-maafan.

Tidak mengapa jika berbeza tarekat, mazhab atau fahaman politik tetapi jangan sampai ia melemahkan umat Islam.

Semoga kumpulan-kumpulan agama Islam yang dilihat 'lari' dari kelompok majoriti umat Islam akan menyedari kesilapan yang mereka lakukan dan akan kembali bertaut dalam perpaduan Islamiah.

Amazing documentary of Ancient Alien

2009-09-06T04:51:00.000-07:00

Hello guys,

Well, after I've seen this documentary. It makes myself clear that Allah S.W.T is The Greatest and The Almighty. From this documentary, lots of ancient technology is discovered that they are not stupid. I can claimed that they superior than us today as they do not need any technology to support themselves.

They just used force of nature and how amazing they can still keep this world free our pollution. They love the environment and even the solar system the managed to gain knowledge about it even without technology such as big telescope or what so ever.

Today people is so dirty, pollution every where. Earth is dying because of the dirtiest of human. The facts is, within 100 years old only, our Earth is been hurt multiple times than centuries ago. It is like we compare 1 millions year old duration with 100 years old. 100 years still win the game.

Perhaps, this is why Nabi Muhammad S.A.W said that the life of this Earth is come to end. Nearly end.

It just what Al-Quran and Hadis + Kitab2 was saying. The destruction of Earth is because of the human.

From my opinion, They are so "rakus" to claim land and mines, air and water, without care about environment. They also fight with each other without stopping even though they share same Earth. Poor Earth, Earth gave many signal so human can realize that they did, Tsunami and hurricane still cannot stop this "rakus" human from hurting the earth.

They care about getting money and more money. Some of them claimed they were environmental friendly but at the same time they hurting the earth.

As Im here, sitting at my room, I pray to Allah The Almighty, to save all muslim from fighting each other and other disasters. I'm praying so that we together as one and save the world from crumbling and the hand of the dirtiest.Amen.
