FLYING HOME !!!

1. InsyaAllah I am going back to M'sia this January. Hohoho!!! Although I am not suppose to be too happy with the financial that involved, but I think I will put that a side this time.
2. Talking about it financially, it cost a lot of money 。。。。 too much instead 。。。。 the flight tickets itself already cost up to RM 12k　。。。。 as for the bullet train tickets from my place to Narita airport, it cost RM 4k　。。。。 I told you its too much !!!
3. Whatever the cost is, its already decided　。。。。 I will be going back from 06 Jan ~ 27 Jan　。。。。 three weeks holiday　。。。。
4. Actually one of the reason for this holiday trip was my love to my wife　。。。。 LOL xD 。。。。feels like vomiting... 
5. She has been pregnant for more than two months now and craving for too many things 。。。。 abviously a lot of those food cannot be obtain here 。。。。for example "gulai pucuk ubi", "rendang kerang",　。。。。arghhhh!!! mano den nak cokau bondo-bondo ni Lia oiiii　。。。。
6. Another reason on me myself... I feel like taking a break for a while from my exhausted daily routine... feel jaded already... and more tough time are waiting right in front of me... before I am going through that tough (berpantang) period where I will need to take care of all the kids and the house by myself　。。。。 I think I better take a break for a while　。。。。
7. For all the relatives, especially on my wife side, please prepare the most delicious meal ever for our visit to your place during this three weeks. I will of course "tumpang sekaki"。。。。 ;D
8. Lets pray for the safety of our journey and may Allah always bless all of us...

7. Alhamdulillah.... I have got something to push me for finishing this task and may Allah provide me all the strength to finished what have been started... insyaAllah...

Date ? Day ? Event ?

1. Are you the type of guy who are aware of your birthdays, anniversaries, and other stuffs similar to these? If you are then you are lucky. I have problem memorizing all these thing inside my head. As a result of that, some people think that I am lack sense of caring about others and even being called as a mean person.
2. I don't blame them and I don't also blame myself, it is just something that I am happy to have along with me. The main reason for this posts written is to appreciate the early birds of my birthday wish. They are my old friend from my primary school; Vikram and Mardiana.
3. Honestly, I remember my birthday is coming this year. It is because that at the same day, I am having an appointment with my doctor about the stone in my kidney (I will keep you posted about it). But, to have a birthday wishes as early as two days before my actual birthday, it is ********** . (I can actually find a suitable word for it)
4. Its good to know people are remembering you, although they might be using some modern tools to do so (i.e; facebook, twitter and etc.) it is still something that we should relish to. And I am taking this opportunity to thanks those early birds (Vikram and Mardiana) and I hope we all have a brighter future in front of us, iA.
5. And for all that have been wishing for my birthday, thank you very much and I will try to do my best to also sending my wish when your time comes. Thank you.

p/s: do not forget to check your birthday base on the Islamic calender. I am sure that we are actually older than what we think we are...

Hang Over !!!

1. I often came through this words in the football news especially for teams that have a mid-week game in the European level. Recorded a victory in Europe and defeated to lesser team in the league. They called this as European Hang Over!!!
2. Often occur to the team with not enough depth in their squad members (easily said; not to have a backup player which can do job as good as their main player). That is what they said in terms of football. What will they say when in terms of human ??? I don't know and maybe you will be able to tell me...
3. Last week I had a presentation with the company whose sponsoring my research project. The presentation went well enough due the the data presented by me in the presentation. I could say that I overwork myself for the last month.
4. I presented three sets of experimental data supported by two sets of CFD data and guess what, the presentation went on from 3.30pm to 6.30pm. I could not believe it myself; it was too long. I feel like an empty can  after the presentation... emptiness is that all I feel....
5. As been told by my friend, you will not feel the freedom unless you have been warranted your phD... yes it is. At the end of the day, as they said the better you performed the more they will ask... that's what happen... as I have experienced this previously, it is an expected matter to me...
6. Just like how I have been practicing, I went on to list-out the future work that I will need to do just after the presentation. The list went on long enough to fill-up one A4 page. With the intention to reproduce the same working rate as before I told myself "Okay, lets go back and take a rest and continue on the work tomorrow".
7. I keep on saying the same phrase for the next day and also the next day without actually doing any significant work related to my research... Clearly something was wrong somewhere... and on Moday (yesterday) I decided not to go the lab and stay at home the whole day... What kind of hang over this is I don't know but I hope I will be able to recapture my form back...
8. Wish me luck and pray for me....

Trip to Tokyo

" Morioka ??? Mano tompat ea tu... corok ulu mano diam ea umah ko nih...."

Script that usually be heard when talking about my current place of study. "corok" it was, Morioka located far far away from Tokyo. To drive from Morioka to Tokyo, it will take you about 8 hours driving and if in Malaysia it would be like driving from Johor to Kedah, never ever gone through it and will be going to, soon.

1. First Hari Raya after marriage in foreign country. Which do I prefer, abroad or local ? I cannot tell. As for now I think it will be the same all the way. Although less preparation needed when you are abroad, the feeling of Hari Raya is much more enjoyable in Malaysia which I think is a good thing for your emotional and stress relief.
2. And of course at the end it depends on how you spend your Hari Raya. Visiting relatives have been an obligation in my family and maybe most of us. My parent especially my father will be the most excited person when it comes to relatives visit. He will try not to stay at home during the Hari Raya holiday as he try to pay a visit to every single reachable house of our relatives.
3. I myself  have a big family from both my father and mother side. The wide-spread relatives of mine is one thing that my father like us to acknowledge at. I recall that one of my grandmother (cousin of my grandmother) is a college of my wife. She is actually at the same age as me and yet we addressed her as a grandmother.
4. As for my wife, you don't have to go as far as her grandmother. Her herself already having 13 siblings, from one mother. Productive ???, that's my mother in law (MIL). To gathered all the siblings at my MIL's house already require the man to sleep at the outside of the house. With a genetic pattern pass on by their mother, all of my wife sisters have at least four children and the average number of children that all her siblings will have is five. Count it yourself... it already like a "kenduri".
5. All the excitements make Hari Raya worth of what have been spend for its preparation. And all this, you would not be able to find it abroad... be grateful of what we have although it look like something unworthy to be appreciated...
6. To dampen down the sadness during Hari Raya, I will be traveling to Tokyo and join the gathering hosted by Malaysian Embassy. Hopefully it will give some relieve for us may Allah make our journey save and joyful...   

Ads by TV3

The Hari Raya ads by TV3 has become a big issue in Malaysia for the last few days. The involvement of other religion elements (i.e: amitabha flower, flying tricycles and the inverse jawi/arabic script) in the ads claimed to touch sensitivity of the muslim community.

1. I have been made to understand that FINAS is the govern body that responsible to filter all kind of the ads, movies and everything before they goes up on the air. If my understanding is right, I think it is proper to blame FINAS instead of TV3 on the matter.
2. As for the world of celebrity and electronics media, I don't think that they will ever stick to the religious point of view. For example, even it is globally know that the voice of a woman is an "aurat", I don't think they give it a damn on it. I also recall watching an artist said a really really bad things about our prophet wife "Siti Khadijah" in a forum broadcast all over the nation, and guess what, the audience just laugh on the statement.
3. One of the main issues raise up upon the ads by TV3 was that it will get the children confuse on their own religion. I am all behind this as TV3 should be responsible for their action as it may affect their audience. But should our children provided with a proper Islamic education, the confusion should be able to be avoided. As we are arguing should a proper sex education offered to our children, there should not be such argument on the Islamic education.
4. Saying this, we should not only be concern on TV3. In today's world our children will be having much much more information sources instead of TV3; the magazines, newspapers, blog, foreign TV channel, websites, etc. It is absolute crucial for our children to have proper understanding of our religion or they will be end up as people who accepting everything offered to them by the media not because they want to, but because they don't know why they should not to.
5. Back to the issues of TV3, they should make a public apology and be more caution in the future. I don't think that  it is the first time neither the second time. As for FINAS, the background of the inspectors should be widen-up. Involvement of people who can represent the overall community in Malaysia should be gather to prevent any miss-judgment in the future.
6. Let us not to be too ex-stream on any issues because one of the character of a "munafiqin" is when they arguing, they will go beyond the limit. May Allah give us the strength to be always on the right path of His, insyaAllah.

gnuplot II
