“Seseorang yang pemaaf, Allah menambahkan kemuliaan baginya.”

-Hadis riwayat Muslim

You don’t choose your family.
They are God’s gift to you.

-Desmond Tutu

I don’t know bout u guys and girls out there, but for me, I really love the time where all the family members get together. I believe God has His Grace whereby he come out with every different races to gather around during their own festive seasons. We have Raya Eid-Fitri, Deepavali and Chinese New Year where many people from different race could gather and celebrate with their families. During this time, we could update the latest news about us. It’s very hard for me to describe the feeling through words. But the sky is always the limit. I don’t care if you don’t understand but the important thing is I’ve got it. So I hope you also got one, just like me!

You know, some one told me, there will always be a black sheep in a family. In this case, a friend told me that my family is just as the one in the perfect movies. I must say it is not. I told her that I have the same family as any other would have. I always remember what my uncle told when I chat with him. Every time we at the top, there always someone you should look after at the bottom. And this person are the black sheep who cause a lot of problems to other family members. He added that it’s kind of a law or a norm whereby it happens not just him, but to everyone! This is the chance where God gave us opportunity to hold up the family as one. Of course there will always be quarrel, fight and argue but that’s the way it is! You can change a thing about it! Just accept and suck it up!

Today it’s my first time bring my car to service after 1000 km mileage. Kind of funny I suppose, seeing these ‘cute-cute’ boxes at the service workshop. Wakaka. However, hope it won’t cause me any problem in the future.

Congratulations. You’re old now.
You’ve made it to 23!

I’m 23 today!! This has been the 3rd year celebrating my birthday on the fasting month of Ramadhan. I feel so blessed having my birthday this year esspecially when it comes to this holy month. Anyhow, I was born at 9.07 am 23 years ago. However today at 9 am sharp I’ll be in the exam hall answering my last final exam paper, Industrial Ergonomics. Hahaha.

Thank you for all the wishes and presents. Really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

I would like to take this chance to also wish to you ladies and gentlemen out there Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. May you have a great deal of time with your family and friends.

I always been a fan of Formula 1 since it was introduced in 1999 in Malaysia. I was a Form 3 at that time. The ergonomics today has taught us a lot to value human lives. Back in those days, safety wasn’t as much as a big consideration in Gran Prix. Nowadays, it has derived and become a huge part of what we all today called F1 Technology

As I was studying ergonomics through the online reference at wikipedia, I came across with this one accident. Pretty much upsets me. This is what I believe SO NOT ERGONOMIC. What the hell is Ergonomic means? Well, simple explanation it something to do Human Factors. It focuses on human beings and their interaction with products, equipments, procedures, facilities and environment used in work and everyday living. In this case, the track, the F1 car, and the people.

The driver was burnt to death! Omg, it is something you don’t wanna see live in your whole life. If only an Angel was there, the driver could have cheated his death. Roger Williamson tragic accident was blameless according to the report. He was 25. May his soul rest in peace.

Actually he didn’t burn to death, he was screaming at Purley. Purley quotes “I heard him say ‘For Christ sake Purley, get me out of this goddam car‘” He died because of a loss of oxygen. He burnt long after he suffocated. The fire trucks were much too late. It was after this crash that FIA really started in their safety programs.

I don’t care whether is your birthplace or what but the main point is why are you select all the current location…

Well, it’s very true that I’ve missed that particular point whereby I should have included the numbers. Some reviews from my friends who attended the presentation telling me that I wasn’t fully answered his question. True enough. I can feel it within myself. Maybe I was too scared or maybe his English is too good. Hehehe.

I did take note all the advices and some further notices which I can use in the future. Someone told me it’s too much politics. I’ll try to make sure myself to stay away from it in this situation. Other than that, I have to start looking for information which focuses more in practical usage. How hard is gonna be? I don’t know. So help me God.

I would like to say thank you to those who manage to fill their time attending my presentation. For those who had missed, see you in Part 2! This time I bet it’s gonna be huge.

In the meeting room

While waiting

It was our country’s 50th Merdeka Celebration. At one point, I thought I was at the wrong place at the wrong time....

You know I always hae this strong natinalism where I always like to take part in any national event. Last but not least I can do is to be there! But this time I have to miss it all. In fact, I did it. TM called me out for this one motivation camp. I’m graduating with basically only 1 subject left, and I have to go to their motivation camp. Sounds pretty much odd, huh? I have to go since they already paid my tuition fees. Si i have to give my time for them. It’s just like someone doing nice to you, and in return you have to be nice to them. Agree?

The motivation camp? It was great. Get to meet a lot of great people, make new friends and also learn new things. Nice and in the end, of course you will felt motivated. Hehehe.

My groupmates

Yey!

First of all, Al-fatihah to our blogger, Nur Asha Dina / Ashadinaz who passed away at 11:45 pm on 27th of August 2007 last week. She had a brain cancer.

I used to visit her blog quite offen until we both linked up to each other’s blog.

I am so sad to read her last entry. Now the blog meets its end.

Condolences to her family and closest friends. To all of you who read this entry, let’s we recite Al-fatihah and prayers to Nur Asha Dina / Ashadinaz.

I would like to say thanks to Cuya for letting me know bout this since lately I am too occupied to gather all the updates on our fellow bloggers and friends.

It was a cloudy morning, and suddenly it rains! The convoy is just about to start…

It rain heavily that day. All the people involve were there. With 4 people for each 30 cars, that makes 120 of us were kind of stranded. However, we waited for another 2 cars because 8 of them are having midterm exam that morning. We started off our journey with the simple launched from Pengarah Belia dan Sukan of Melaka, Mr R Affendi. Short speech were given and supposedly he pasted another Jalur Gemilang for each car. But due to the weather condition, it wouldn’t permit him to do so. So we all gather at Subaidah to wait our fellow friends to join in.

We arrived Uitm, Alor Gajah when it reached noon time. But then, the rain still falling. They were having some carnival there. I believe it’s conjunction to merdeka. I get to see their lecture hall with Mui. A bit smaller than ours. I think there’s more, the campus site is too big to explore and we don’t have any time to do it.

I like part this the most. To shout ‘merdeka’ to all the passer by. Some of them shouted back ‘Merdeka!’ back and some stood as no response at all…

There’s this one coffee shop at one of the kampongs we went through where a group of them raise their cups and say ‘Merdeka!’ to us. Damn funny but at the same time damn patriotic! Hahaha

The sad part is, I believe due to no Marshall, we had a minor collision with of the car. It’s not among our convoy group. We just settled it on the spot. The kancil our friend drove were badly ‘injured’. We couldn’t get any marshall since the permit arrived just exactly 1 day before the event start. What to do, the Director did hold up the team and just suck it up.

Our last stop, which is Pantai Kundur, is the best. We get to enjoy the scenery there. Everyone was made laugh by this one kid riding an ATV. A small ATV actually for kids basically. He ride from the other side of the ride, crosses, passes us and ending up just buying an ice cream! Hahaha. Check the photos to see the kid with ATV. For my car poolmates, we had our own photo group there overlooked by the beach. Well, kind of since the beach is partly hidden. You know why….wakaka.

Anyhow, it was great event after all. I really had a great deal of time. Thanks to all the hardworking committee esspecially to the Director, Ed who worked hard round the clock to make it happen.
