Graduation.

Hello.

Haaai! It has been a very busy fortnight. Phew. Glad that everything went well. Yay! How is everyone been doing over there? I hope everything went well too. Goody!

Graduation?! Yes! Graduation. Happiness. It's been a week since my graduation day, it's on the 16 October 2011, approximately 8 days from that big day. Hee. Let me share with you this story I've been wanting to write.

Collection day for academic robe and mortarboard. Came there early in the morning with excitement. Meeting former classmates, friends and saw lots of familiar faces I'd known for the past three years I'm there. Hee. The funny thing on that day was, i don't even know how to measure what size i should be choosing, Aha. There is a fitting section where you can actually try the size on before you can actually get your academic robe and mortarboard. Luckily there's a person in charge there told me that no matter what size you pick you must make sure that the length is long enough and not to worry about the size because you'll be wearing a suit on that day. So the size that i picked for the academic robe was XL and the length was perfect, and size M for the mortarboard. To whom that knew me very well, I never wear XL in my entire life before because I am a size M person. Aha.

Rehearsal day! It was on the 14 October 2011. I took a leave on that day. Aaaah! The feeling of having a day off from work. Yay! Happiness. It was early in the morning, i came there a bit late, just a little bit late, alrite alrite, its around 30 minutes late, Aha. I went to the hall without knowing what to do. I entered the hall and look for signs, it's like looking for the right path. Hee. Then i heard someone talking about registration at the back of the hall, so i just went there without knowing am i doing the right thing, Aha. Don't ask. :P At the back of the hall they ask for an ID they provided earlier, luckily i brought them, i don't even know that i should have brought them with me on that day. Phew. That was a relieved. After the registration i went back inside then i saw someone very very very familiar to me, Yay! Although I am a little bit surprised and yes I'm so happy. Automatically i became a tourist guide and showed the way to the registration counter. Aha. That rehearsal went very well and yes what is a day off from work if you went back straight home after that right? Aha. After the rehearsal a group of us went to the college and had a pre-convo photo session. Yay!.

Let me share some photos during that day.
*Guys i hope you don't mind me sharing some of your photos in my post without any of your permission. Anybody in this photos feels like i need to remove it please tell me so without any hesitation.*

The big day! Yay! It is like a very big gathering of all the people that have been waiting for that day after 11 months of completing their studies. Fewwit! I woke up early in the morning with intense feelings of excitement and making sure that i don't left anything that is important behind especially my ID card and my academic robe of course. Hee. Arrived at destination, need to park the car somewhere far and shuttle bus to the hall is provided. When we are in the hall, after the speeches, then came the moment of truth. Aha. But yea, i was so sleepy at that time waiting for my turn, rows after rows and rows and rows and rows for my name to be called. For my course it is almost at last part of the ceremony. It was a very long wait. Aha. But apart from all the waiting, it's worth it! Yay me! :D

I got two bouquet of flowers!

This is me holding one of it.

Hee. I am officially one of a Degree holder, Bachelor of Computer Science majoring in Systems and Networking with Honours. It is a very memorable day for me. I've been waiting for it 11 months and yea its has been a great day.

CONGRATULATION! to everyone who received it. :D

Have you.

Hello.

Have you ever sat down at your balcony enjoying solitude, looking at the pouring rain falls freely, the sounds of it when it hit the ground, the smells of it, the breeze, thunder storms comes along randomly, oh and to add some calm feelings to it try and add some instrumental piano background music.

Let me share with you a playback that you will almost have the same feelings of the things i just mentioned. I recommend you to plug in an earphone, keep calm, feel the rain and enjoy it. :)

 That's all for today. Oh, have you?

Greatful.

Hello.

It's been days since my last post. I was having this flu that keeps on coming and going as it pleased. Oh flu. Recovering, hope it will end soon. Enough of that story, let me share with you some delightful story for today.

Aaaah, isn't she a lovely one? Yes it is! Hee. and yes! I can assure you that it tastes as good as it looks. Every bite have its own story to tell, it's like you are on a stairway to heaven. Hee. Frankly speaking, i can't actually remember the name of the food, it was too delicious to remember the name. Hee. I think it is "Chicken chop something something with rice". Aha. I'm not helping am i? Hee.

What is a good food without a soothing cold drink? It's like you are trying to access an internet without a computer. Aha. Can i put it like that? I can't? Well, i just did. Hee. :D

Oh let me let me let me, please.. Oh aymansyarif, very well then what is it? Want to share something else with us? Show us something.

Tadaaa!

 Hee. Oh wait wait wait, i'm not finish yet! Hee. I had this too!

Oh my. I'm famished.

Again.Oh.

Fever. Sore throat. Aches. Chills. Tiredness. Sudden Symptoms.

As it pleased.

It comes and goes.

Singapore.

Hello.

Hey there. Singapore. Hello. I went there last fortnight to watch Formula 1 Grand Prix. It was a great day to describe and undeniably tired by the end of the day. Let me share this experience i had.

A week before i went to Singapore i renewed my passport, it took me an hour maximum for it to be ready. Oh i never knew it could be that fast. Oh and yea i used a kiosk to renew my passport, yea you got that right, a kiosk, you don't need to fill up any form or wait for any queue number to be called. It was fun and easy to use.

On that weekend i went to Singapore by bus from Larkin Sentral.

I went through all the checking at the customs and yeah i arrived in Singapore and walk to Raffles City at Marina Bay to collect the pass that is needed to enter the walkabout zone.

We entered the zone and there are lots of people from all over the world that came to Singapore just to watch F1. I could not get a better view to stand and shoot good photos, anybody that came early already conquered the best view spot. Let me share some shots taken from a non F1 category car race that afternoon.

 

 Oh the weather helps a lot that day, it's not so hot and it's breezy. Liked the weather so much. Hee. Let me share some views at the circuit.

This is what happened when you are so passionate about photography.

Oh apart from all of this there is something I'm so happy about, it's Linkin Park! they've come to Singapore to put on a concert after the race. Oh my, it was so cool, all of their performance were great. Aaaahh! I could not ask for a better show from them, their live performance is so much better than hear it from a mp3 player. Hee. So apparently the ticket for F1 is actually 2 in 1. Yay! Linkin Park! :D I did not get any clear shots of Chester Bennigton or Mike Shinoda, because the spot i was standing was like 400 meters away from the stage. All i can do is watched them from the big screen. Let me share a video i found on YouTube, enjoy!

Linkin Park - Waiting For The End at Singapore Formula 1 GP 2011

That's all for today, sorry i only shared a few of the photos I've taken. Hope you had a great day. Take care.

A day.

Hello.

Life. In the meantime. Happiness. Prediction. Expectation. Reality. Have you ever heard of a quote saying "Life is not as it seems, Expect the unexpected" Well that is the truth, it happened in real life. Have you ever wonder that you are someone you never think of? Denying the fact that you are who you are. Sometimes. There is something in life you will keep to yourself, something that is so real but you can't touch it with your bare hands, reminding, something so priceless and you do not want to get it over. Little secrets that keeps you wondering why all that's left are just visual in your thoughts. Never had this little feelings, feelings which it can actually turn into something. Something big which you could ever imagine you might wanting to have it so bad. Temptation. Afraid to accept the fact that it can only be change by one's own self. Guilt. Frustration. Sorrow. Resisting. Turning the world so dramatically slow. Rhythmic. Pace. Joy. Looking for it endlessly. Twisted thoughts. Feelings. That is how i wrote this. Oh that's just it.

Coin.Laundry.

Hello.

Coins! When i was a little boy i started to collect One Ringgit coins, it was gold in color, eventhough the value is only RM1 it feels like i have real gold coins. I was a kid. Hee. I kept it safe somewhere and it is still shiny. I also collect those early version of One Ringgit coins where the size of the coin is larger than the size of a 50cent. It has different designs of pattern but with the same value.

I have this habit of not using coins to pay for something. For example, i went to a restroom, per entry it will cost me 20cents, i don't have any small change, and at that moment the smallest notes i have is RM1, i will get a change of 80cents in return, i will not use it, instead i will keep it somewhere, for example in my car where there is a coin drawer. I will fill it until it is full. By the time it is full, that is where the best part is, because that is where i will transfer every little coins i have into my so called 'Kitty Bank'. I have this mind set when i was in primary school, saying that i need to save atleast 10cent each day. If i have more, the happier the cat will be.

One of my Happy Cat.

I also collect 1cent and 5cent. Even if it is 1cent, it will still be counted. Hee. It is so heavy and there will be more. Can you guess how much that Happy Cat would cost by now? Hee. Let me keep that as a secret. Oh coins.

Magic.

Hello.

Let me share a story of a screwdriver. Have you ever heard of a magic screwdriver? Hee. Once there is a very close friend of mine who actually gave that name as 'Magic Screwdriver'. My friend borrowed my screwdriver to check on some problem encountered on a workstation. After done with all the checking it happened that my friend had dismantled everything and felt discouraged of not having to get the things fix.

Apart from all of that my friend found out something else, something interesting, due to the discouragement my friend played with the screws using the screwdriver. All the screws stick to the screwdriver and try to stack it up one by one. Hee. The screwdriver is actually named as 'Magnetic Screwdriver'. As you can see from the link i just shared, the front tip of the screwdriver is where the magnet is.

Magnetic screwdriver is actually something that is very useful if I'd say, because it helps not to lose the screws u just loosen, it will stick to the screwdriver or u can easily get the missing screws in hard to reach area. It is not that expensive anymore, knowing that you can get it in any hardware stores by now.

Hee, i'll never forget these little memories, it's priceless. Oh friend, how are you? It's been a while.

Places.Around.

Hello.

Have you been to Nusajaya? It is also known as Kota Iskandar. Located in Johor Bahru, Johor. This is an administrative centre for the state government of Johor, Malaysia. I work there as a Junior Network Engineer for three months during my internship. It was a very nice place to go and have a visit.

The time i was there back then it was just opened and there are lots of things that is still under construction but almost complete the first phase. It was long time ago. Let me share some pictures of the buildings they have it there for phase one.

DUN (Dewan Undangan Negeri)

This is a very huge building. Inside this building there is office and also it have a very huge hall inside, like in the parliament. The floor inside the hall covered with a very thick carpet that is so comfy to walk on. Hee. I think tourist will not have the permission to enter the hall because the hall is secured for security purpose. Oh by the way, the tower at front entrance have a very looong stairs going upwards. I did not climb it, aha, just mentioning. ^_^

C2S is the codename for the buliding.

There are two building of the same architecture, placed in front of each other. C2SE for east wing and C2SW for west wing. Actually, i don't even know what the codename stands for. Hee.

MBSS

Aaah! This i where i work back then. This building is placed in front of the DUN building. There is a huge fountain designed as a moon and star same like in the flag of Johor, it is build in between of this two buildings. I work in an IT department where it is located at the second floor if i'm not mistaken. This is the second huge building there.

History of Johor

This is where it stated a short and brief history of Johor from how the first flag of Johor looks like and the list of names of our great leaders. U can read it but can't touch it, there's a moat in between like the one in the fairy tale at a castle where there is a hungry crocodile inside. Hee.

Oh and there is a place called Puteri Harbour, It's a harbour where there is yachts and lots of private luxury boats there, it's a place u must go if you are there. Sorry i don't picture of that. Oh my. Maybe i could post some links of pictures instead? Ehe. 

That is it for today, oh it's been very long since i wrote this. Hee, i did not realize that it took me hours. This post is not as interesting as it is, just thought that it is something good to share. :)

Horrifying.Truth.

Hello.

Accident. That's the word. Yea. Have you ever been in a car accident? In a real car accident? and you are the driver. I've been in one. It's horrifying.

Let me tell you a story about how it happened. Let me start of by how careful I am when I'm driving. It's been 7 years from day one I started driving and this is the first time I ever been in an accident. I was alone at the time it happened.

One very fine morning, I woke up like normal everyday and ready to go off to work. My service mileage due that day it happened and I brought my car to Perodua Service Centre to get the things I needed. The queue was quite long for waiting list but i managed to get the things I needed and went off to another service centre and get it done. Right after I get my car serviced, usually I will make sure the things were done correctly and then I'm off to my site office.

This tragedy happened a few kilometers from the service centre and it was horrific. As I drove off from the service centre, I was enjoying my driving while listening to the songs without giving any pressure to the engine and enjoying the feels of new engine oil running in my engine, it was smooth and feels so clean.

Lets look at this shall we :

This is how it happened. Please pardon my drawing, I am no professional. Ehe. I was from Jalan Dalam with the blue arrow merging to highway at the end of the road. Here how it happened, the guy who's driving Black Nissan X-trail drive from the highway marked as red arrow and wanted to make an illegal turn to go in to a junction where he shouldn't been doing that at all in the first place. He decided to make that illegal turn without making sure if there is any car coming from his left. The moment I saw that car did that turn, he was already crossing and he was in the middle of the road when I arrived, I was shocked and immediately stepped on the brake and the braking system locked all 4 tires, screeching on the road, but it's too late for that because it was in a very close distance and it happened in like 1, 2, 3.. Crash!.

Take a look.

I asked him "What are you thinking?". He answered me. "Saya terlepas simpang, saya MALAS nak u-turn jauh kat depan, so saya shortcut sini". ("I missed out a junction back there, I'm so LAZY to make a u-turn far ahead, so I decided to make a shortcut here"). Attitude, that's what happened. Even if you drive carefully by applying defensive driving on the road while driving, but if there's is someone who's not, then it won't help either. I was injured and had a serious chest pain for several weeks due to that I have trouble breathing and also I have a scar on my left hand wrist due to the injury, it will probably be there for a long time. Apart from all of this, i'm just glad that i'm still alive. Driving would never be the same again.

That is it for now. To all drivers out there, drive carefully, don't be lazy and be safe on the road.

Used to.

 Hello.

I used to like Skype very much. It reminds me of a person i used to chat with. I like to use it, one, it’s because it’s simple and easy to use. It is something new to me back then. It is very stable for me to use it in my campus because of the internet connection difficulties in student’s apartment.

There are lots of things it could remind me of. For example, I like this emoticon called
’ Talking  ‘  this is an emoticon referring to me when i talk too much. Aha. I like to imitate the way the mouth moved and the sound added to the emoticon would be ‘memomemomemo’, pronounced it like ‘mei mo mei mo’.
It’s was fun back then, and now i guess there’s no more Skype for me. Oh, Skype.

Interest.Photography.

Hello.

It all started when i was a very young boy who would just love to take pictures. The first camera i ever used was The Olympus Infinity Stylus, it is a small and sleek enough to slip into a pocket; 35mm semi-wide angle lens is good for landscape and cityscape shots; f3.5 lens is very sharp for a point-and-shoot camera; shutter speed only goes down to 1/15th of a second*. This is one of those cameras back in the days that people buy when they want a pocketable point-and-shoot that gives sharp images. 

~

The second camera i got is for my birthday. It is a Canon PowerShot A570 IS. According to my experience with this camera, i say that this camera is value for money. Aaah! this camera is a fun compact camera that have all the full manual control over the exposure parameters. I still have this camera kept it with me and sometimes i will use it depends on situation. Here is an example of a picture i would like to share.

UNITEN's Mosque

~

The third camera i have is Nikon D90 DSLR camera, when i started working i have this camera bought and i never regret of having it. This camera have those functions and controls that i ever imagine a camera could really have. The quality of the picture taken and lost of other cool features. Some would buy a DSLR just because of the trend without knowing the capabilities of a DSLR camera, and some would just say it's too bulky and less appropriate to travel. It depends on why do you need a DSLR camera in the first place. Here is an example of a picture that i would like to share.

Out of the normal there is something special.

Merdeka!~

It's nice to have something you could actually have interest in. It's like a hobby. I would just get a grab on my camera and just walk around or probably drive around and took pictures with some creativity. Don't worry, there is always room someone who just started and would like to learn more about photography. It is never too late. ^_^

First.
