I've been battling flu for two days and it is still not showing any sign of recovery. I can walk and drive my car but I do not want to take any chance it might get worse by going to lab. Plus, I also do not want to disseminate this virus to anyone else. The good thing is I am living in a new apartment complete with kitchen and utensils so I can prepare my own food. I could not take anything much

I was not the type a guy who was really concern about his appearance. At one time, I wore a pair of broken glasses fixed on sellotape, a pair of used and oversize grey Nike sneaker given to me for free by a friend of mine, and an oversize green winter coat. A friend of mine told me I looked like a ninja turtle. My fashion was a complete disaster but it did not bother me from attending Economics

I believe moderation is key to everything from working, studying, worshiping, eating, spending time with family to playing. But I am a little greedy when doing stuffs. Like how every afternoon I want to tend my garden but I also want to run. I know I cannot do both so I have to choose one. But I know deep down I hate to choose.Right now I am battling thoughts about changing my phd topic. I'd be

It's 17th day of Ramadhan, about half way to go. So far fasting has been quite a blessing. I do not suffer from gastric as I imagined I would be. But from time to time, I suffer from procrastination. I remembered on the first day of Ramadhan, I aimed to finish 30 juzu of Quran in the whole month. But I guess that is quite ambitious eh? I also skipped taraweekh three times already. Worst still, I

I was surprised to learn that some restaurants by the pool at the Alamanda refuse to let you in unless you have their buffet dinner for breaking fast. I mean give me a break. One buffet dinner would cost me RM45. That's freaking nuts. I usually spend that much for lunch for three days. I rarely ever spend more than 10 ringgits for a lunch or dinner. My date with my gf also wont usually cost me

I heard from some of my friends that once you got yourself into a Phd program, get ready to lose some sleep and life too. I found myself to be an exception to that. Not only I sleep 6-8 hours a day, I rarely spend the rest of my day studying at all. Everyday, I would spend at least an hour gardening. Sometimes I spend 3 hours at night playing badminton. Not to mention going out with my gf

I have a sick obsession with vw golf lol. I like the look of the car. Simple, not too busy, neat and tidy, but look sporty, elegance, stylish and fierce. Every car should be designed like this. Coupled that with powerful TSI engine + DSG (dual clutch transmission). Yummy. But this car is too expensive here.On the other hand, the car that I currently own. Well...

Today I worked on my little garden as usual. I realized the grass surrounding my flower plants are getting quite long and needed to be eradicated. Otherwise it would be competing with my plants for nutrient and sunlight. But the irony of weeding out grass surrounding my flower plants is helping new grass to sprout as the competition between grass seedlings and established grass is reduced

I'm sure this happens to everyone. I still have a long way towards obtaining my PhD degree. Like I told my colleague, it's a long shot. I have tons of works to do i.e. collecting data, running computer simulations, preparing presentation slides and many more. Yet, I feel bored at times. Don't get me wrong. I love doing research works. But I feel like sometimes I want to do something else.And if

One guy asked me a question, "What do you think is a good car for average income of RM2k-3k?"I answered, "I would consider a Proton Saga, Perodua Viva or Myvi."Then that guy said,"My wife is begging me to buy a brand new car.

I've been knowing NL for sometime before one day she called me for help. She was moving to her new apartment and need a guy to lift some of her stuffs. Without hesitation, I said I would do it. Why wouldn't I do it? She's a friend of mine. And that was not the first time I helped her. I proofread her paper, bought her food, changed her tire and so on.

An anonymous dick living next door to mine decided the best time to bump the music up is at 11 in the evening - about time people are dozing off. I would like to thank that wanker for taking a few hours off my life. And the best part of it is that there is no way I can take that back.

Selalu mimpi-mimpi yang kita alami sememangnya aneh dan kadang2 agak menakutkan. Itulah yang terjadi padaku semalam. Walaupun perasaan takut dan aneh itu hilang sekelip mata sejurus aku membuka mata dari lena, tapi aku tidak lupa akan peristiwa yang terjadi di dalam mimpi tersebut.Permulaannya agak kabur dan mungkin tidak relevan.

Congratulations to PDIDRURS aka DRU for his appointment as the new "big boss" of UPM. DRU is the father to one of my good friends back in Wisconsin. He was also the one interviewing me for this job.

I was walking to Boss's office when I suddenly saw my colleague, KS, coming out of her laboratory and bitching about the undergraduate students. Later I learned that they fucked up the lab - by not properly turning off some machines which later caused some spillage on the floor of the lab. By the time I got there, the lab looked it has already been cleaned up. I gave props for KS and AB for

Except GreenDay, I can't think of any other pop-punk band that I like. I kinda like Bunkface too but meh they are ok but not that great. I heard one or two things about Paramore and never actually like their songs. I think their songs suit Western taste or Asian who think they are cool enough if they listen to bands like this one. I am not particularly picky about music. I listen to whatever I

I'm glad I was able to celebrate Eid with family after three freaking years. Though I hardly missed anything - food, guests, decorations, chats. Lots have changed but the spirit is the same. Only one thing that bothered me a lot though I anticipated it. Everybody never stop asking me when am I going to end my lonely days.It's a tough question indeed since you can imagine a nerdy ugly loser like

I was first learned about Cymothoa exigua, a tongue-eating parasite from the Planet Animal the Most Extreme show and amazed with its ability to "feed off fish's tongue" and later, fully replace the functionality of the organ. The host fish, on the other hand, despite losing its tongue, continue to live since the parasite is not affecting other parts of the fish. The parasite does not appear to "

I heard about "rezeki anak" all the time but I admit in all honestly I was skeptical about it at first. Don't get me wrong, I always believe in the supremacy of God over the entire life on Earth as the most Beneficent One. But I did not quite like it when people claim strong connection between having a kid and getting extra and sometimes unexpected provision or sustenance from God. I mean, sorry

I did realize it before but thanks to some of my friends for reminding me that sometimes I act like a poser, phony whatever shit you wanna call it which I admit in all honesty yes I do. Maybe I tried too hard blending with the faculty elites, non-elites and pariahs, masquerading multiple alter-egos, losing myself-ness in the process, consequently, appear to be the biggest clown in the faculty.Now

It's been a while since my last vacation. K called me on the phone asking to go for a 3 day vacation to Perhentian with him and some other guys. I was hesitated to go at first. I was raised in a family whom place the safety of myself over everything else even at the cost of having opportunity to go out with friends or explore places around me - which is certainly not uncommon among families who

A year ago I was sitting in the lab with my labmate, C. Most of our friends left the lab after 6pm so either me or him ended up the last one to leave the lab. But I probably hold the best record for spending longest time in the lab in that semester.

It's been forever since my last post. To be precise, it's been about 9 months. Many people say time flies so quickly and 2 and half a year feels like nothing. But from what I feel when I look back in time, my life has been very long and difficult. Full of sorrows, agonies, tears, hardships and sacrifices. Nothing's been easy on me. It is a miracle that I'm still surviving until today.Looking back

This story happened when I was a form four student in high school. My Red Crescent Society teacher demanded a clean skinhead haircut following our loss in high school level marching competition. Regardless of some of my fellow members' disagreement, we all followed the order like soldiers faithfully do whatever is commanded by their superiors. Some of my friend did not get a clean skinhead cut.

Eid Mubarak. Seriously, having been living in the US for 5 years, I have lost some motivation to celebrate raya. I'm happy to attend the Eid prayer and go to 3 different friend's house. I had nice traditional Malay meals and cuisines, which I cannot restrain myelf from. Apart from that, there was no fancy cloth and new pair of shoes like I used to have when I was a kid.

There was a Muslim girl who was so excel in academic. She was admitted into one of top schools in the world. She got perfect A's in every subject that she took.

Islam is right about teaching us to be grateful for what we already have, and strive for things we want to have i.e. wealth, good education, job and so on. I have to convince that to myself everyday that even though I have nothing much, nothing to be proud of, I have to be grateful that at least that I'm alive, getting education, and still a Muslim. It's no use whining and complaining when things

Equal opportunity but U.S. citizenship is required. That means as long as you have U.S. citizenship, you will treated the same and equal from the company in terms of recruiting. Otherwise, go to hell, they

My biggest weakness tends to be a woman ;)Last week was a battle between my reality and my feeling. To let this burden off my chest, I talked to 3 different persons, including her own brother. I prayed to God to give me a signal and to guide me to the right decision, which only revealed to me last nigth. I hang out with her and other friends, and it is apparent to me that she was not the one for

Other than ending my pursuit of a PhD degree with success as my #1 priority, I dont know what else I want to do or have for myself. I would like to have a girlfriend but just dont know how much I have to do to get one without compromising my ultimate dream. When one girl confessed to me she likes me, part of me wanted her, and part of me was being ignorant to her, part of me thinks "lets find

This afternoon, my emotion fluctuated. There was a dumb but sad expression in my face. There were noise inside and outside of this room but there was much silence in my heart which occasionally interrupted by heartbeat. It was so quite since it is so empty.What she said about me was right after all.Even if this could be a sign of desperation, my ego still looking for way out of this matter,

It's been months since my last entry. Look out previous entry. Yeah yeah I'm very lazy at writing blog. I've done many things, went to many places (another road trip coming up end of this month), met *cough* many people, and ate a lot too (and still drop my sugar level). Heck. Taking healthy and balance diet at consistent time is what you're supposed to do - that's what a doctor said to me. yeah

I often heard this phrase (its meaning in English is I close my eyes) in Japanese songs, and the one I can relate most is Ken Hirai's song with the very same phrase as its title.And somehow the phrase relates to my current situation today.Last night, another bad luck fall upon me, as if I was hit by shower of bad luck.

Armi is starting to push me to replace his role in Dr. Wan's research. I know that. I don't like it at first but I realize it may help me to become better in terms of gaining more knowledge and experience in researching since being a reseacher is what I want to be in the future. Like an Italian proverb says, "Don't just aim but hit," I can't continue on dreaming but I have to start somewhere and

Salmie referred me as "Mat Pening."Maybe she's right.Sometimes, I tend to feel a little spaced out, not knowing exactly what I am supposed to do, particularly when I have to do something completely new in the office.

Would you rather get paid for nothing but staying in the room from 8 to 5 with frequent breaks in between?It sounds like an very comfortable way to get paycheck every month. But I tell you, doing literally nothing from 8 to 5 every working day is figthing against boredomness, and far from being comfort, other than sitting on leather seat chair in a room supplied with AC and a desktop PC with

It's already 11.23 pm, the match between Manchester United and Portsmouth is in underway but I am busy geeking myself with English vocabs in preparation for my GRE test. It is such an agony. So many vocabs I tried to memorize, so few that stuck in my mind, so little that I could recall when I need them, and I never score more than 400 on practise tests (the best I can get is 380 over 800! 800

Maybe satu spesis dengan iris atau daylily tapi tak sure fit category mana. Senang je nak jaga tak payah cantas pun. Bunga pun cantik.

I wasted a month and so without doing anything meaningful. I do a lot of things, from memorizing English vocabularies, attending art class and taking care house. But nothing that really pays off me well. I do those because I do not want to be idle and let the time passes without making use of it.

Not only my wardrobe fills with many black clothes, but some of my stuff are also black in color - i.e. cpu, speaker, laptop, bag and others.

Simply black and white (plus grey for background - well grey is merely the mixture of these two colors).
