Timon and Pumba?!! lol. Read the whole entry, then you'll know why I put up this pic.

me and epyt. the 1st person I met at UTM that day!

Assalamualaikum...안녕하세요 여러분 . 오랜만이야!! { Hi everyone. It has been awhile!!}


Sorry I've not been updating for quite awhile. I'm in Semenanjung at the moment and my internet connection here is not as GREAT as my internet connection at home. owh well thats not the reason for me not being able to update this blog acctually haha..

I've been quite busy maintaining hangulexplorer.blogspot.com. (my other blog). eversince I started that blog, visitors have been coming thru like tab water lol. So I've been maintaining the updates for hangulexplorer in order to keep the visitors flow. why is this so important than your own blog you might ask?
well havent I tell you that blogging is where I get my side-income from.. so its like a part time job! ;) and since this blog is not open for Google search, I dont get much visitors here, and its another story for hagulexplorer... so there you go hehe :).. You get to learn one of my secrets! but owh well, I do get to learn hangul alot tho thru maintaining hangulexplorer!

but enough bout that.. thats not the main story today keke..

Did I tell you my convocation day was on 26th of Sept? well sory if I didnt.. ^^
I wasnt that excited about it really.. I didnt know why and I still dont know why.. but I was glad to be able to meet all my course mates again!
Before the whole session started, I was worried about my parents. They were like so many people there and it was hard to just even get into the DSI building with people everywhere..
People from the morning session + people for the afternoon session!!
In my heart I was like "Haiya! cant these people from the morning session just take pictures or swarm somewhere else in UTM other than around DSI!!"...
It was not easy for me to get my parents into DSI..my dad isnt in his best condition. he cant stand for a long time coz his right leg still not strong enough after his brain was attacked by a virus.. in fact his whole right part of his body still quite weak. so it an effort for him even to walk!. He had to use a cane to support his body. So after I registered for the graduation session with Epyt, I went back to get my parents. I brought them to the left side of DSI and thanks to the UTM guards who were guarding the entrance there, they let my parents in first before everyone else. I told my parents to just stay inside DSI after the whole session finish and that I will get them. I dont want them to get off the building shoulder-to-shoulder with the crowd.

I was excited to meet all my friends again there. All the graduates were to que before entering DSI according to our registered number. I was in between Ammar and Reza. and thank God Epyt, Nad, Safy and Rai were just infront of Reza, if not then I'd be the ony girl around a bunch of guys hoho.. we took lots of pics while waiting outside DSI. and now I cant remember we were taking those pics using whose camera???? whose camera was it??? I want the pictures!!..:). can u pls email the pics to me.. thank u.

We went into DSI using a back entry. I didnt even know that back hall entry exist before this lol. we all didnt know about this back entry so while going thru there we were like...
"laaaa... hari last bru tau!!!" haha

There were 2 faculties for the graduation session. Fakulti Alam Bina and Fakulti Elektrik. The whole session starts at 2pm and finished around 5.30pm. I was sitting next to Ammar in DSI and I think this is the 1st time we ever talk so much with each other..haha
We kept complaining about how the speeches from whom ever was speaking was taking too much time! LOL

We even took a picture together! haha. thanks to Mee Sing for that pic.

focus utama gambar ialah suffiah (epyt) and saffiyah. tapi aku n reza kacau daun.

I also get to catch up with Reza! Reza and I was together under Prof Harun Ismail's supervision for our FYP (Final year Project).
I also get to catch up with my BFFs (lol why does it seems weird for me to use that term..seems to girly!) Epyt, Nad, Ira, Safy, Rai...
I was abit disappointed tho! why? coz I didnt get to talk alot with Ham!!! my 1st and 2nd year roomate!. since her name starts with 'H' thus she sits at the front part of the bunch. And we both promise to take pictures after the whole session ends but again we didnt get to see each other after that!... That was probably my biggest disappointment that day huhu. hopefully we'll get to see each other again and just hang out!.. we didnt get to hang out alot during our final semester.

I still remember our first semester together in UTM!! I never said this out loud but I was glad that she was my roomate! When I first arrived in our room for the 1st sem (after registered), I met my 'roommate' Fiza from SEB. She was nice and we talk alot when we 1st met. After that I went down my dorm to meet my parents and then I got back up into my room again after an hour and I met Ham!! my new roommate!haha. It turns out Fiza had the wrong number for her room. so when I 1st entered the room, seing Ham just stand there next to Fiza's locker, I thought she was Fiza's friend just waiting for Fiza to come in. LOL
So when I 1st met Ham, I had the impression that.. " Okay, my new roommate isnt so much of a talker. Bummer!" lol but yeah 1st impression does not always right. Thru out our orientation week me and Ham, we were like Timon and Pumba (Hakuna Matata! The Lion King) just sticking with each other. its not becoz we didnt make friends with others, we did make lots of friends, its just that we were really a compatible roommate pair! haha. FYI our orientation week was so much fun! especially on the final day where we had inter-college sports day. One thing I dislike in the orientation week is some of the songs we sang with our facilitators.. dont get me wrong, I do like the chants we did and most of the songs we sang was fun but some were just too lame.. I mean like, who wants to sing "peel banana..peel peel banana...closed banana..closed closed banana"???!!!! what kind of song is that!!! and we even sang that next to the equestrian field EARLY IN THE MORNING!! while DOING SOME AEROBICS activities!!!!

anyway..

owh and Me and Ham, in our 1st sem, we had this night routine. You know when you were tired after some studying at night you just want to go out, breath the night breeze and just chill for 15 minutes.. well everytime at night around 10pm - 10.30pm we would go out just walk to our college kiosk.. the kiosk was like 2-3 minutes walk from our dorm but we would take our time and just enjoy walking at night. we would buy 2 cans of nescaffee mocha at the kiosk and enjoy the drink while walking back to our dorm. and sometimes we would stop at one of the small 'pondok' on our way back to our dorm just hang out there while drinking our mocha. The pakcik who owns the kiosk even remember us bcoz of that night routine we did. Me and Ham thinks we were the only ones who kept finishing all his nescaffe mocha and he had to refill again and again.lol Mind u back then that nescaffe mocha were only RM1.50... and now it cost like RM2.20!!!!...so much change after only 4 years!!!..

And we also had this other afternoon routine during our 1st year!! around 6pm-6.30pm we would go down to Astana HQ to buy our dinner and OUR NESLO!! well thanks to Ham, I 1st know Neslo bcoz of her! haha I never drank Neslo before this. Not becoz I dont like it but becoz I was too ignorant to know the EXISTENCE of it BIG LOL HERE!
If you were also a KTC residence then you would know that there were 2 people who usually makes neslo at Astana cafe. Abg Mawi and there is a little 'kid boy' who I didnt know his name (but I remember he wore a cap.everyday!) HIS NESLO WAS THE BEST!! even Ham admitted it!!haha..not too much sweet and just the right amount combination of nescaffe and milo.. we bought his neslo like EVERYDAY!.. especially Ham.

And there is funny story I want to tell here.. whenever i reminisce this, it never failed to tickle my funny-bone. Whenever we go to astana to buy our dinner, I would go order our meal and Ham would be the one ordering our drinks (apparently u have to go to each booth to write or tell ur order),
so I told ham I wanted "nescafe campur susu".
Ham said to me, "ade ke nescafe campur susu?".
and I replied to her, "abes klu xcampur nescafe jadi hitam la bukan coklet". (well if you think of it, nescafe powder is kindof black!)
So I guess Ham thought that made sense and went to order.
So when Ham got back to me, she was giggling and all, screaming to me, "ZARITH!!! mane ade 'nescafe campur susu'!!!"..
I was giggling too bcoz she was giggling like crazy.
I said, "abes tu?"
Ham replied, "nescafe je la!.. yang itam tu nescafe O!..abes abg to gelakkan Ham mase Ham order. Die cakap mane ade org panggil 'nescafe campur susu'. Org panggil tu nescafe je la"
and then we both just LAUGH OUT LOUD!
I'll remember this for the rest of my life.

Back to graduation story....
The day was fun and all... after the whole ceremony I didnt get to hangout and take pics much with my course mates since I was with my family the whole time.. just snapping pictures away.but I did get to meet my friends just before I leave UTM. we took a couple of pics and they gave me some presents! thank you epyt, nad, ira, zai, safy, rai, aja, liza and everyone.. sorry I didnt get everyone something in return. but THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE 4 WONDERFUL YEARS WE HAD TOGETHER!!!.. you guys colored my bored day!!
Sorry that I didnt get to spent so much time with you guys on that last day.. But be sure we will meet again someday..and do keep in touch guys!

and owh I also get to take a pic with sunah!.. this girl has been my bestfriend eversince kindergarten! OUR PARENTS ARE FRIENDS AND OUR HOUSE IS EVEN 1 MINUTE AWAY FROM EACH OTHERS!! sorry sunah coz xdpt jumpa lamak ariya. and sik sempat brgambar family. trpaksa balit awal. bapak aku sik sihat gilak huhu.






EVERYONE THANK YOU!

**my dad will have a brain surgery on 26th of Oct. Do pray that it will be a success

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

declaration page....

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...

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

Alhamdullilah

salam.

I do believe in the terms never ever give up.. try and try again.. and ever since UTM changed the grade point average code (2nd year, 1st sem), it has been quite hard for me to grab a spot in the Dean's List.

And today, Alhamdulillah I'm on the list again!.. Alhamdulillah.

Before this I got it twice during my 1st year and after that, eversince I got my 'kancil' (lol.. ternyata, padah akibat terlalu rajin merayau rayau dgn konco2ku lol) I've never got into the dean's list.. up until now. I am soooooooooooooooo thankful to Allah swt.

I got a message from Ham this morning, telling that the result is out. At first I was so lazy to get on9 and view my result cause i had a feeling that I'm just going to get another 3.33 (LOL).. you know, after seeing my senarai tampal a month before, i seriously didnt think I'm going to make it into the dean's list haha. but of course that didnt stop me from praying to Allah swt and still hoping I'll make it. tawakal jak la. I've struggled hard during studyweek and i'm not just gonna give up now. I've been sleepless during study week, and i believe that its not going to be a waste. I've been too far and I'm not just going to give up now.
And Alhamdulillah, my sleepless night, my struggle, all the caffeine that I've consumed (lol) was worth it.

What I would like to share here is that, Never Give Up. Try as hard as u can. if the 1st sem of 2nd yr u didnt make it, try again. if the 2nd sem of 2nd year also resulted the same, try again. if in the 1st sem of the 3rd year u didnt make it again, never give up! again work harder, struggle harder, doubled ur effort!. never stop praying to Allah swt for it. InsyAllah you WILL make it.

Cant wait to tell my parents, if it werent for them praying along for me & giving me everything to help me with my studies. I wouldnt have make it this far. Have to start fasting now, gotta repay my nazar.

cheers

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. ~Albert Einstein

2 weeks so far in ABf

other trainees..mizi, mua, steph & terrence. all in dierent deprtmnt.huhu. I'm the only trainee in electrical dept. I was suppose to be in instrumentation dept (other e&e trainees r there) but somehow the HR staff put me in electrical dept. owh well, Mr Igat is with me. I like Mr Igat! he is my supervisor.

I'm already working in the plant area now. of all the new intake trainees I'm the only one who constantly have to enter the plant site. that is becoz my office is in the plant site.huhu. my office is in the workshop area, where all the electrical & instrumentation engineers are. I pretty much dont have any thing to do. haha. well, Mr Subramaniam, the executive engineer (generation section) already gave me like 3 projects and all I had to do to find the informations i needed for the projects was to read their 'so-freakin-many-files' in the file rack. Basically I have all the informations needed for my reports now so I dunno what to do haha.

Everymorning all the engineers have a meeting with the technician, and last week according to my schedule (prepared by the ever wonderful Mr Igat, thank u :) I was under the generation sect and my supervisor was Mr Nor Azhar (another wonderful person!) and next week he will be on holiday until 8th of june.huhu. Last week Mr Azhar drag me along with him EVERYWHERE! and I mean EVERYWHERE. Even to this Operation & Management meeting in the CCR (central control room) It was fun cause at least I had something to do la haha. I'm gonna miss him next week.huhu WHO'S GOING TO DRAG ME ANYWHERE again then?!! I guess I'll just sit at my desk and do some reading on ENMC (Electrical Network Monitoring and Control...one of my projects). I'm gonna miss Mr Azhar eventho sometimes he was kind of anoying haha (forgive me mr azhar) its just that everytime I joined him for a meeting, even a huge meeting with other engineers, he would like BROADCAST it to EVERYONE that I'm the GM's lilttle sister. okay at first it felt kind of 'nice' but after sometime it felt annoying haha.

One thing I'm really impressed with the electrical dept in ABf is that both the engineers and the technician are really close. if the technicians have some problems in the plant, they can freely tell it to the dept manager (currently the dept manager is Mr Yee Yen fu). and believe me most of the technicians are out spoken. kalau apa nak dicakap ya pedas, pedas lah nya, sik da tapis tapis agik haha.

Another thing is that the dept really take a huge deal on safety during work. Everyweek the dept
would have safety briefing and everyone in the dept must attend the meeting. they even take ATTENDANCE! haha..

Owh I should mention here, everytime a meeting ends we would have small meals provided! yipeeee..haha free food. again and again and again... lol

Majlis Pengundian SUKAM

Ham and I went to the SUKAM Pengundian ceremony as K9 representative which took place at Merdeka Hall at KRP (the host college for this year SUKAM).

Maskot SUKAM. Abe & Eva.

Pemilihan wakil badminton Kolej 9 SUKAM

Ham jadi ref..

Ira tukang kira mata.. we had to book two courts. bangun awal pagi lepas subuh terus pergi complex sukan nak book court haha.

After defeating 3 teams, I qualified for doubles with ira but we cant play since the schedule for badminton match clash with futsal schedule. huhu.

SUKAM

coming soon!

FuTSAL gEMER8 UTM

while waiting for other teammates to come

jakun selepas menjaringkn 1 gol. haha mcm cipan jek ak ni

ira, me, ham, fika & yan...

khusyuk men'stadi' strategy pasukan lawan.

prize giving ceremony


heck dont ask why the name oF the tournament is 'gemer8' to me. I hate the name. :P

Once again I am busy with futsal. Huhu. This Futsal tournament was held in one night and finished in one night (super quick!). there were a total o 9 teams participated and TAKDENAME fC was one o the team. hehe. I guess my teammates and I cant get enough of futsal.

The tournament was organized by the KdSE (KOlej Datin Seri Endon) and was held at the futsal court infront o Kolej 9 cafe.

Not all o f my teammates join the tournament this time. Abie had to go to Perlis to watch Siti (exUTM and used to coach us) play for Kosmo. So fika was our goal keeper this time and we have a new team member! (I’m always excited to have a new member joining the team) her name is Achik, she’s a riend of fika and abie and she CAN PLAY! Not bad really for someone who never had the chance to practice with us she really can fit in with our style of play. And not to mention her stamina, I’m really impressed with her stamina. She can run thru the entire court in one match without complaining of being tired haha.

The tournament was similar to FUTSAL MALAM TOURNAMENT format. All the teams were divided into 4 groups. While in group we play league format and at the end 2 teams with the highest points go thru the quarter final and then its ‘kalah mati’ (dead or Alive?dOA Like the PC game haha). Since there were only 9 teams, 1 group consist of 3 teams and the rest of the group only have 2 teams lol. Guess in which group we were? Haha because we were soo unlucky we got to be in the group with 3 teams in it. And to add to our unlucky streak, we were in the same group with ‘GUrlz Lolipop fC’. Watta *? Haha. This time their team is stronger, cause most of the players were from ‘Nike Star fC’. Only one player was the original ‘lolipop fc’ (Mas). The entire team consist of players that represent our University for MASUM (MAjlis Sukan University Malaysia).huhu

Takdename fC : me, ham, ira, fika, yan, totti & achik. nik (manager)

Our first match was with ‘Ballbusterz fc’. We saw them playing ‘Gurlz LOlipop’ previously so we studied their style of play and we won! 5 – 1. And guess who scored?! Hehe. Yan scored 4 and I scored 1. I scored the 4^th goal. At that time I didn’t want to be the lastman so I switched position with Ira at 2^nd half. And I scored. I didn’t remember clearly how I scored it but I knew that I shoot it just outside D area. the feeling of getting my name on the score sheet is amaizing hehe.

our 2nd match was with 'gurlz lolipop' and we lost 1-3. we were leading in the 1st half but owh well. they just got better at reading our strategy.huhu

but we made it thru to the quarter final.and at the quarter final we met kolej 11 (ladies night fc lol) and they are known to be rough & tough players since they are palapes navy and all.hoho. the game ended with both team dapat telur ayam. 0-0. and penalty kick to decide who made it thru to semifinal.

fika, achik & yan took the first 3 penalty and huhu yan & achik missed. we lost 2-1 to penalty.




at the end of the tournament. 'gurlz lolipop c' won.bummer!
