19 Ramadhan 1432 Johor Bahru, MY Assalamualaikum, I took a half day leave today for two purposes. 1. do investment and 2. spend time with her. 1. Investment I'm getting married next year, the first thing came to mind was saving money. I had the idea 2 years back that if I bought gold bit by bit until the time/need arises I should have enough savings for marriage. Luckily she had the same idea

17 Ramadan 1432 H Johor Bahru, MY Assalamualaikum, Yesterday; We went to the Istana Bukit Serene, one of many palaces for the Sultan of Johor. It was on a hill in front of Danga Bay overlooking Singapore. The scenery from the palace tower was magnificent, I can see all Johor Bahru skyline. Really feels great to be the King. We took initial pictures and ready them for pre-research, still

My boss just got of his flight from Florida to Singapore this morning and went straight to the office, talking bout workaholic. He's one good example. He might be in his office now as I write this entry. I wonder if one day I

Everything is as it is when I left it. I remember editing the CSS code a number of times until I get the layout look that I wanted. I relived my passion for writing 2 years ago. Yesterday; I stalked

I've been slacking out the past couple of weeks. Although I did not admit it (when confronted), colleagues and friends saw me through and through.I'm not sure (or realize) what had been the cause(s) for my lost of focus. It might have been the lack of sleep, or bad habits, or lacking good food; believe me I don't know.Sometimes it seems like I don't know myself anymore.Fortunately I'm blessed by

I’m writing this entry while sipping ice tea bought at Super Grubsen earlier today.Our training supervisor bought us starter packs for prepaid lines to use in Denmark. It contains credit value double than its price, some bargain.

September 10, 2009My internet connection is down, its 6.44 in the morning here in Billund. The hotel’s wireless service varies from time to time, usually its fast and sometimes no connection. I guess I’ll write my next entry on MS Word first and post later.Work (in my case, training) starts at 8.30 a.m. and ends at 4 pm. Actually on my first day, we (myself and a colleague) we’re asked to go back

Its the second day of September and I'm still in JB. My scheduled flight was delayed due to an elaborate processing of personal information for my business visa. My employers told me about the backup plan, which is to send us (myself and another colleague) to another part of the world for training instead. Hence for the time being, I'm in waiting mode.I guess its okay if I share a bit information

August 1 to 2, JB. I went to Changi airport last week to fetch my brother returning from Germany for his semester break. Took a bus from Larkin station and then a cab from Ban San St to the airport. The bus ride was long and the path looks as if you’re travelling in one big circle (the whole island, of course). My brother, Fuad arrived safely and we stayed in a relative’s house in Jurong East

July 28, Mom dropped me off by the office buildings in Danga Bay commercial area for the meet. Its supposed to be a job briefing and contract signing kind of meeting. Passed security with ID registration and sat at the lobby with some people. Turned out to be the folks at the lobby was the parents of my future colleague and herself. We chatted and waited for the HR person to come and brief us

Later, still July 23. As soon as I got home I called my current manager and told him about the offer and my intention to resign. I was told to write a proper letter and email to him stating the terms and conditions of the resignation clearly. In the letter I were to mention the company losses that I should cover by my immediate resignation instead of a one month notice as agreed in the

Its is tough being situated where Wi-Fi is not your average internet connectivity, I’m pretty sure only 35% of my parents’ neighbours have a PC let alone broadband connection.

Had a meeting this afternoon with my newest juniors. Gave some insights on the selection of notebook computers suitable for them. CAD software such as AutoCAD, Pro-Engineer, CATIA, SolidWorks rely heavily on video / graphics card. I carefully selected a few notebooks from different makers, the criterion considered was the best machine for the least amount of buck (under MYR 2000). The final three

Having to have options is great, and sometimes it can also be difficult. I hesitated when I got the call, the one I’ve always been waiting for. The call represents an option, a way out, hope for a change, and some other words I could put into. At the same time I’m busy making plans where I’m at now, I have people counting on me, trusting me. This is when I sit down at the back my mind and weigh

Yesterday someone called me up for an interview, we spoke about 5 minutes and the date and venue is agreed. Earlier I had another call from another company. I gambled to set both interviews on the same day, Alhamdulillah it turned out that one was in the morning (last minute notification) and the other on the evening.

Yeah I’m hungry right now, skipped my usual dinner time. Its raining cats and dogs outside. Can’t go out far because my bike’s lights are out. I think I might grab something at the stalls downstairs or perhaps buy-then-fry some  instant noodles or call up some  junk food delivery, any suggestions? At the same time I’m feeling content.

Full article here by Yahoo! I got the urge to click on the news link on Yahoo! because of the picture beside it, which portrays Nokia’s cool concept phone; the Nokia Aeon. Its (the article) not about Nokia Aeon. But it reports about the new technology Nokia’s developing. Harnessing energy to recharge mobile phones from thin air. Sounds like magic, but its really simple to explain. Around us

I’ve just finished watching it. It was a good one. The usual relationship stories with predictable stuffs and romantic endings. I never knew who’s on the cast list until it started. It helps viewers not to lose hope in finding ‘the one’. Chewah! Seriously, I’ve been avoiding relationships myself, staying on the safe side. Not getting hurt, for the moment I kinda like that.

Assalamualaikum and hi. I’m trying out a new app I’ve just downloaded yesterday called the Windows Live Writer. For starters, its GUI is simple and easy to use even for a 1st timer like me. The buttons are placed conveniently and has that familiar Windows Office feeling to it. It has all the tools a blogger would need, spellchecker, hyperlinks, inserting pictures and videos, tables, and maps

I love laptops. My criterion for an ideal notebook computer are lightweight, good design and mid-end performance (office use). Ofcourse there's netbooks. But I'm gonna need something that is more powerful, not just something you can toy with that can't run Windows 7 (which I'm using right now) at full speed. My financial capability restricts me down to two unique choices, the Vostro 1320 and

I've been waiting for its launch for quite a while. I read on Google News that the Wolfram Alpha website had some problems launching its knowledge search engine due to bad weather (storms, etc). I haven't got used to using it, it feels a bit slower than Google although the output looks very useful. Here's a quick link. I've installed it as a search engine add-on.

As we have read about the tweenbot from an earlier entry, the latest research in human-robot interaction is conducted by Technical University of Munich. Their robot is called ACE (Autonomous City Explorer) which asks people the best direction to go to its destination. It reached its 1.5km destination by 'asking' a total number of 38 people. Pictures and videos here. Source articles, here.

I took this test a long time ago, a few weeks I think. I saved the entry on scribefire to post it later. Haven't found the time to do it. Right now I got a job at a company selling CNC simulators as a salesperson. I'm still looking for a more secure job as the current one is contract-based, 6-months until I'm jobless again. Good luck for me.

Its a playable demo up to 40 minutes of gameplay featuring the new characters in the familiar-but-futuristic world of FFX and FFX-2.The demo is in japanese (ofcourse) and showcasing the new battle

On the net, I check for updates on Jobstreet.com and other job sites.I also emailed my previous employer for another shot.The replies so far has been relatively slow, considering I'm online all the time looking for a job.

The robot's destination was written on the flag together with a note asking for help. Along its way people help the robot

Hiya, last night I had trouble swallowing my medication. The capsules got stuck at my throat. I drank a few liters of water but it still won't go down. I had a friend who is coming home from UM and asked him to buy me some Roti Canai.I ate the meal hoping the pills would just come off and dissolve in my stomach's acids. It didn't work. I brushed my teeth and went straight to bed, it was already

I read an article on engadget.com about the latest laptop from Acer. To my astonishment, Acer did this one right.Its a sleek and thin laptop. By the way, my previous (and current) computers are made by Acer. The first was a PC, right now I'm using a laptop. Both are low-end computers and cheap.I think its a bargain with a price as low as USD 699 - 899. I love macs, but these are the kinds of

My nose is no longer oozing, my headaches gone.Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah.I planned my day and first off to eat breakfast and to the laundry shop.I had my usual breakfast and bought some Nasi Lemak and Teh Ais for those folks at home.

I woke up yesterday feeling a bit queasy and lightheaded.My throat felt sore and I'm sneezing every now and then. I think I caught a cold but I had to be sure.I don't like going to the doctor because of the queue, its long and tiring (you know what I mean).I did nothing that whole day except reading articles on the internet.

Tahhir got back with his friend just now from Low Yat Plaza. Guess what, he bought a PINK netbook. A Lenovo S10 Ideapad I checked. A friend asked him to buy, she was pregnant at the moment and asked Tahhir to buy a netbook for her. She gave him a 100 bucks, lucky you man!It runs on a Intel Atom N270 processor with 2GB DDR2 RAM and 160GB memory. Decent 10.2 inch display but weighs more than 2 kg.

Back from my hometown, I asked my friend Tahhir to pick me up in front of Central Market. I walked from the PuduRaya station. Frankly speaking, I really frickin' hate the place (PuduRaya). The place is the same as it was 15 years ago, the difference was now there's more people. I think I kinda suffer from many-people-phobia disease if there is one. Haha.

Its a new browser version from Apple made available to PC users since its debut on version 3.Donning a few eye catching features such as the wall links (opera's speed dial + cool iris) and tabular window like the Google Chrome web browser.I often install new applications made available and tweak them for a while. From my point of view, Safari 4 still lacks in terms of customizability and speed.

Hi, I'm writing again after a long holiday. I realized I need to write. The need to publish. Yeah, I guess everybody feels the same too. Hope to write more soon.

It has been very slow around here these days. The humid atmosphere surrounding my apartment worsened by the consistent rain. I think it affected me. Not much progress, I do hate the situation I'm in right now. Need help. Huhu.

Hi again, these few days were very tiring and full of surprises. Nonetheless, I manage to get some videos of PR23. I'll share with you guys. Its first and default program is the line following program. The robot will follow a black line on a white floor. It senses the black line using a set of photo senstive diodes underneath the robot. Its first run was wobbly and often went out of track

As I said earlier I'll write a short review on OneCare from Windows Live and Microsoft.Well as you might know its an antivirus, antispyware and desktop maintenance app all in one. Specially tailored for Microsoft OS'es.OneCare downloads updates from Microsoft to protect your computer from hacks, bots, as well as known trojans, worms and viruses.Its performance plus, backup and restore features

After almost 2 weeks of waiting, my friend returned my PR23 mobot (mobile robot). Unfortunately, he didn't finish the job. I estimated that he managed to solder almost 15%, nevertheless I am grateful of which it led me into overdrive mode the day after.I was determined that morning, it was saturday. After I did my laundry, I readied my soldering gear. One by one electronic components successfully

I'm checking out a new antivirus+antispyware+system optimization from Microsoft called the Windows Live OneCare right now. It seems very neat. I'll update on the features on the next post.

It was a moderate and quick ceremony, the sky was bright and sunny. Although I used to dislike the hot temperate of Kota Tinggi but today was exceptional.This is my first time sending someone getting 'nikah' or the core wedding element in Islam. (Please mind my jargon, I'm still finding the right words for 'nikah'). Anyways, I took the shower as early as 6.20 am after getting back from the Subh

First and foremost I want to extend my wishes a Happy Deepavali to Indians in Malaysia and throught the world celebrating the festival of lights. Usually there are masses of Indian people wearing colourful clothing doing what they do best celebrating the festives.Having the next Monday a public holiday (here in Malaysia), I intend to give my parents a visit. Fortunately for me, I'll have to drive

I've been actively reading and writing on the net recently and I stumbled across a news agency's website which reports local and international news.It was recommended by a friend of mine commenting that the BBC news I'm following is not reporting local news fast enough.I'm also looking at other news agencies at the moment, back then I sought for headlines on Yahoo! homepage for interesting '

My friend who volunteered to solder the PCB board for the PR23 mobile robot had to rush finishing his assignment last week. Resulting in a delay for the project. 'It's unavoidable' he said.Having classes plus working freelance (for me) at the same time is harder when you're still in the mood for Aidilfitri festives. Visiting families and friends 'open' houses and vice versa.I had foreseen this

I just re-opened my Frienster social network service a few hours back. Due to a friend's request. I've closed my account twice and this is my third Friendster account.My reasons for closing my accounts before was I felt that seeing myself in cyberspace on a webpage with pictures and text is just like seeing the fake 'me'. I felt that I'm not real, I don't meet my friends, I can see their pictures

I've visited one of two blogs featured by Blogger as Blogs of Note. Blogs of note are chosen in my opinion by their hit counters and contents, because these blogs featured are really great. Some are on books, web development and graphics. It is really interesting to see that there many great people in the whole world using weblogs to share their thoughts and knowledge. Its truly enlightening to

I took this picture using my laptop's webcam via RoboRealm software, an image processing software created for robotic applications.My thesis/project supervisor insisted that I use it for my project since my software programming isn't solid enough.Various image processing modules done on RoboRealm similar but inferior to Photoshop and Aperture imaging softwares.This is all I can do with RoboRealm

One of the features I like on Windows Vista is its sidebar. Cool and useful gadgets can be customized according to your needs. Gadgets include clocks, to-do list, calendar, converters, RSS feeds and much more.However, as you already know; it consumes a whole lot of your virtual memory or RAM. In laypersons term, it will slow down your computer.Although the widget/gadget idea is not new (Mac OS X

The sky was dark when I departed from the faculty and suddenly the rain poured heavily. Making things worse, there's nowhere to take shelter and I didn't bring the raincoat. When I finally got home, myself and my trusty Nike backpack is soaked.Slowly I pulled out my laptop, iPod, thumbdrives, chargers, cables and my blackberry out of the pockets. I stood there momentarily in front of the doorstep

I have to admit somehow that Firefox is the best web browser up to date although I'm also using Opera, IE, Chrome, Safari just for fun. I say so because Firefox is customizable to suit users needs by adding extensions, themes and plugins downloadable from its add-ons website.These are my favourite Firefox add-ons:Fast DialFoxClocksGoogle PreviewPDF DownloadsPersonasTime TrackerUndo Closed

I tried to solder the PCB board yesterday with the intention of seeing the robot run the next week. Unfortunately my soldering skills haven't improved since I left lower secondary (home science subject). A friend advised me to handover the solder works to him or send to an electronic shop to get it done. Lucky for me he said he'd do it free of charge, but maybe I'll treat him a pizza or something

Recently, I've been working with electronic parts concerning on my final year project building a mobile robot. I've googled and so far the only tangible robotic/electronic shop selling DIY kits is Cyton Technologies in Skudai, Johor. I browsed thru and went there, bought a few set of DIY kits. PR23 DIY Project, Multifunction Mobile Robot
