my thanks....

Assalamualaikum w.b.t...

안녕하세요 !!

So as you all probably have known already, I've already finished my University studies since April. And 2 weeks ago (i think) the final exm results was out and alhamdullilah. praise to Allah swt I pass with flying colors. ^^ cant wait for the convocation day!!! It will be around september so, I will have to wait tho hoho..

Currently have been doing some job hunting.. after quite for time just sitting back at home enjoying the holidays. My job hunting options are sooo limited since I've decided that I'd only work in Bintulu, so this will take awhile.. plus got some things to do this June so probably have to stop job hunting for a moment..

LOL..thats pretty much muah at the mo..

Well, anyway thats not what my main reason to write for today. i've been wanting to write a thank yous entry eversince I've finished my thesis work but because of the laziness strikes, well you know....lol

I got an A for my thesis and seriously I didnt expect that haha... ok that was bull.. I DID EXPECT a huge BIG FAT A for my thesis.. hahaha but thats only because I know I've been working on it like a mad scientist lol..yeah I did..

but ofcourse I was not alone doing it.. so here I want to thank a couple of people that has been a huge influence into my work..

My Final Year Thesis.. neatly bind by Rainbow Sdn Bhd. and a special thanks to Epyt for posting it to me all the way from Johor.hoho

My supervisor!!!

I was very lucky to get Associate Prof harun Ismail as my supervisor really. He is such a generous person. He let me borrow his PIC Programmer. He let me borrow seniors thesis back to my dorm so I can study more on programming language. He gave me alot of suggestions and ideas through out my project. Whenever I am worried/nervous/dunno what to do/encounter problems with my project's hardware or software, he always try to calm me by being all cool and telling its all gonna be alright. I really envy him for his calm and cool personality. He is an expert when it comes to programming language. I learn alot from him. Although he didnt attend my FYP presentations (1st & 2nd part both) he always have confidence in me. He always have that calm sincere smile that says, 'i believe u gonna pull this thru'..

Thanks for believing in me and thank you so much for that A..

Dr Fauzan... well what can I say about this guy... HE'S MY HERO..seriously : )... He's an expert when it comes to hardware and sensor.. he help me alot with my CO sensor.. altho not thru out the whole project but none the less he is a huge part in making my project a huge success..

Well, if there was a lecturer who is young, sporting and vibrant and loved by many students, this is the guy!.. I would recommend my juniors to pick him as their supervisor for fyp. He is really enthusiast of his students fyp work, and he would help them on everything! and I MEAN EVERYTHING..from coding work to hardware work.. and not just his fyp students, he also share his knowledge with other students who isnt under him.. thanks Dr fauzan

INSEED HEAD OF DEPT. dr razali.

Thannks also to all my presentation 7 panels.. Dr razali, kak mas, En Ismail and others.. I cant remember all hoho.. thank you for all your support..

and last but not least thanks to all my friends & my family... Epyt, Nad, Ira, Zura, Reza, Safy, Rai n others too..... Maybe Ive missed out certain names, sorry for that.. thanks for helping me in every way possible...thanks for all the support...

With Pain, There's Gain

Assalamualaikum w.b.t..

Alhamdulillah..here I am again, as healthy as I was when I wrote my last entry.

Read title, and understand it.

You see, we are very familiar with 'No Pain, No Gain' phrase but in order to make its optimistic and positive literally I change it with, 'With Pain, There's Gain'.. but non the less, both brings the same meaning..


This words actually relates alot to all the UTM students who are in their finally year, currently. Since we have all these Final Year Project (FYP) works to be done. Especially to the FKE's students like myself I have all these coding work, programming, circuit design, and trying to obtain certain components that are unavailable here in Malaysia. Thus, with all these works to be done and pressure along with it, its hard not to break down or felt like 'you'll never gonna complete your FYP'.
SIGH!

So lets relate the words with our FYP.. With all the Pain working on our FYP e.g programming a hundred times and still doesnt work, ordering components from overseas which cost hunderds of dollars including the shipping fee, checking your programming over and over and still cannot find whats wrong with it and also the pressure you get from your supervisor..
These are the pains you have to deal with, but bare in mind if you stay with pain, strive through it, work as hard as you can, you will somehow gain something from it. YOU WILL ALWAYS GAIN SOMETHING FROM IT, even a little if not alot.

I have suffered a lot of pain in life, tiny and huge pain both. During my secondary school, during matriculation year, through my internship period and also in my FYP works but in the end, I survived and everything is fine now. Nevertheless I learn a lot about people and myself through this short period of pain.

Of course we could 'live life easy' but it will certainly wont be as much as fun and profitable (gain) as living life with a little pain here and there.


Always keep this in mind, pain is ALWAYS temporary. (Long pain is utter rubbish and mostly related to heart broken love story thing. In this matter, just learn how to forgive and you’ll be fine.) At the end of the day, the gain is way too sweet in comparison to the short pain.

Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya…

(al-Baqarah: 286)

Allah tells us to believe Pain is something that we can endure and you must believe in Allah’s words. Always believe. For every suffering/pain we’re facing, at the end of the day, we will eventually GAIN something out of it. Cause as Muslims, we’re no losers. We are always the winner. We just need to work and believe.

notakakibangku: if you're having trouble with coding or programming and dont know what to do, you can always ask for help from your friends. you can also put your coding in an electronics forum and ask for help. people in the forum are actually nice and are there to help. trust me, it has help me alot with my fyp. here are some forums you can go to..

• http://www.silicontronics.com/


• http://www.microchip.com/forums

but dont expect to come there and ask for help with empty handed and expect them to write you the full code get everything working. if you do that then you are just a lazy bums.

FYP +ve Progress

Manage to get the code right after many sleepless night....^_^

FYP Progress

apa laaa byk sgt wayar jumper haha... dah tukar guna microcontroller PIC18F2550.. more I/O compare to PIC16F84A

Mine is alllllmost finish.... all I had to do is to figure out whats wrong with my c++ programming that made this device unable to show the ADC value.

After I do that (hopefully I'll manage to figure it out soon), I'd had to implement the whole circuir on PCB board.. do the whole itching (sp?) process and solder all the components on the PCB.. viola.. FYP finish..

just had to test the device and write the full report...huhu..

The sensor I ordered from Japan has already arrived.. but havent use it yet..coz I dont want to damage that rm200 worth of sensor hoho so I use a potentiometer instead for the testing...

wish me all da best...

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Hi all. sorry I havent been updating frequently. like I said in the previous entry, I havent been able to get on9 that much. currently I'm having my semester break, in Putrajaya. and now I'm at Alamanda's Old town white coffe just for the sake of updating this blog.lol. no la, actually also for the sake of loging into my fb account which i havent been able to view for quite awhile.

My sem break actually starts on the 17th of nov but becoz of some family matters I havent been able to go back straight to bintulu.huuhu.. My dad had a stroke on sunday the same week. he was in johor baharu with my mum and my sis, so all of us had to stay back at jb to take care of him. he was admitted to sultanah aminah hospital bcoz of the stroke but luckly it was just a minor stroke. currently he's unable to walk properly, still needs support to walk. the minor stroke had affected his right brain so all of his right side body was weaken by it.

on the following tuesday he was much better thus me & my siblings decided to moved him to Putrajaya's hospital. It would be much nearer to my 2nd bro's my my sis house. all of us convoy to putrajaya with 3 cars. arrived at putrajaya late at night since we took off a lil late. it was quite tiring but still good to see my dad was much better. when we arrived at putrajay's hosp the doc told us that it was not necessary for him to be hospitalized. he was much better.

Now he still suffer from dizziness, he could walk properly if only the diziness is gone.Lets us just pray for him so that he'll be much better.

Anyway, besides taking care of my dad I'm also have been doing some reading. the one thing that I've wanted to do long time ago since october when the book came out. know which book i'm talking about?? hehe. of course la THE LOST SYMBOL. it took me awhile to get my hands on it. tthe book cost about rm100(hardback) so i was waiting for the paperback to be release but up untill now, the paperback is nowhere to be found so i just had to spend rm100 huhu...

well, i havent finish it yet..but to tell you the truth..up untill now..huhu... I'm quite disapointed with the book.. not quite as interesting as the previous da vinci code. The lost symbol is more about the masonic organization. actually before i read the lost symbol, i got my hands on a book about freemanson from islamic point of view. and during my time reading the lost symbol i was quite proud of my self coz I got to know so much about freemanson even b4 i read the lost symbol.hehe.

another agenda in my things to do for this sem break is to learn more on ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE & C++ programming. hopefully I'll get to finish my PIC coding huhu. wish me luck.

owh btw

nota kaki bangku : I got a new laptop...!! ^_^ thanks to my dad.

Final Year

It has been awhile since I last post an entry here.huhu. I've been quite busy lately with my thesis and assigments and tests..and bla bla bla...
See this photo ....
That is my FYP supervisor, P.M Harun Ismail..
He's a very nice person. and talks quite slow with soft tones. I'm so thankful to have him as my FYP supervisor actually. He didnt attend my FYP presentation. He mentioned that HE NEVER attend any FYP presentation. so at first i was quite scared that nobody is going to be there to back me up when the panels bombarded me with questions.
After the presentation, me & my other friends who is under PM harun Ismail, had a meeting with PM Harun. some of my friends had their FYP rejected and some had to alter certain part of their FYP. but PM Harun rest assured us that WE WILL NOT FAILED FYP. its impossible for us to fail FYP unless we dont do A SINGLE thing!! hehe I love my supervisor!

He said that, even if our circuit doesnt work. we wont fail FYP!

This week, I did my FYP presentation infront of 5 panels. The panels were...

• Prof Dr Razali Bin Ismail, INSEED HEAD OF DEPT.
• en. Fauzan Khairi Che Harun
• en Ismail Ariffin
• Zaharah Johari (tutor)
  
• Nurul Ezaila Alias (tutor)

My final year project title is Toxic Gas release alarm system using PIC microcontroller.
Basically it uses PIC (one chip computer) and a carbon monoxide sensor to detects presence of carbon monoxide and alarm people.

Everything went very well.
Right after I presented my work, En Fauzan said that he likes my FY project. and they accepted it. they didnt ask much questions except that the panels were wondering how am I going to demonstrate it without causing dizziness or headache (bcoz of CO effect) to the panels. So I told them I'll try to use car air-cond or a ciggarate (spelling?lol). for sure I'm not gonna bring a liquified CO into the demo (FYP2) room to demonstrate it. and plus its not easy to be able to obtain CO.
owh well, if you guys have a better idea, let me know.

I wont be updating this blog regularly coz my college wireless connection is too weak. I HATE K9 wireless!!
but I'll try my best to go to fke lab comp and update this blog now & then..

cheers
