Syukran.... I am so pleased!

With my CSCAN group - Thank you for a lovely party Guys

Left- Danny, Dr Li, Dr Ingo, Olivier, Erwan, Najem, Hussain, Me, Ben, Ghasib

Seat- Wahid, Mahmood, Saad and Janny

Alhamdulillah...

After a long wait then it turns out to be good outcome!  I had passed my Viva-Voce.
Thank you so much to my family, supervisors. CSCAN colleagues and friends.
Guess what? I had live my life abroad since 2006. Even though I had a year break in 2008 but the separation period from my family and my country is what I could categorise as "sacrifice"!

To be honest, there are lots than you could imagine the hurdles that I have gone through within these periods of time. I am so pleased and thankful! This great journey taught me to become a better person. I have learnt to become more analytical and to think outside of the box!

Thank you so much everyone for a great support!

The party was held on Monday 17 June 2013. I really appreciate all the efforts by these people! One happy family at home. I am going to miss you guys so much! I'm going to miss the jokes and fun... :(

I am coming home... Yes... home!!! But I will be back again to this Land for another mission. Soon...

Next mission to be accomplished. InsyaAllah.

Sighs...

Its the final battle phase.
Huh? Hectic!

A friend used to tell me "Let it be.. Just follow the path"
InsyaAllah. I believe in God's will.

Will be back again soon.
Hibernation mode? Sighs...

Courage

Alhamdulillah.

It is a time to wait.
Be strong.
A note to myself.

Happy Birthday Mama

Dear Mama,

Happy Birthday! Again this year I am not with everyone and you to celebrate your great day! I love you so much than I could ever imagine. Thank you so much for everything! I always dua' and asks Allah to give you and our family His blessing. Ameen Ya Rabb.

Love,
Me

HailStone!

I just got back from playing badminton. Rush to the kitchen to cook as 3 of my office colleagues coming for lunch.

Whilst cooking, suddenly a "loud noise" comes from outside the house. It feels like someone throwing  stones on the wall over and over again!

MasyaAllah, its happened again! Heavy hailstone rain! 

Sakit tu kalau kene... 

Waiting for snow but been entertained by these hailstones. :P

Weather seems to be so weird all over UK...

Heavy snow is reported today in Scotland.... and some other places...

Well I am a bit lucky because of the South West location I think!

No ABC party this time! 

Ok I need to stop now. Catch you later!

Still Hiding

Dear Mr Spring,

I am writing to invite you to come earlier this time.

I can’t wait to see the flowers start to blooming all over the place.

I really want to change my attire to the simplest one. No jacket and gloves on hand.

I miss to hear the birds chirping on the tree limbs in my garden

And I wish to be there on similar branches dangling my feet

Whilst eating the fresh berries

Suddenly,

I realise that it is only my dream!

Ramblings

It’s feel like Mr Rabbit in Alice & Wonderland :D

Work has never ended! When you start to think (i.e. mature enough) then you’ll have to do it by yourself!

The impossible could still be possible… and it’s proven.

The experts will guide you but they never tell you what to do next.

You can ask other people.  Simultaneously you need to prepare your potential solution in relation to your given questions.

Thinking out of the box is excellent but sometimes you forget what is really in the box. Sigh.

So, make your own conclusion with this entry.

15:11 – from my messy office desk - 

Weather... Yes ... Weather

Winter!

Houndiscombe Road : 7.30 a.m (Snow lite2)

Obviously day by day it's getting colder. In a way, I feel a bit lucky as "our" cold in UK is not as bad as in Russia or Canada (no offense). Well, as I am based in Plymouth, the south west region of UK, we are likely receive less snow as well (i.e. there's pros and cons here).

The pros:

• No need to worry about walking on slippery road (due to black ice). 
• Less hassle (i.e. time and energy consumption) to walk to the university.
• No dirty path when the snow starts to melt :D

The cons:

• No snowman with his costume (Huh!)
• No snow war among your colleague (peace)
• No picture to share (LOL)

Today the weather forecast saying the it's going to be slightly colder than usual because the wind breeze directly from the arctic! 

Enough for today. I need to continue my writing. See you again for the next weather forecast from Plymouth. k Bye. :P 

Positive!

Note of the day:

"Today might not be a good day for you. BUT remember. You still have tomorrow. :) Cheer up!"

Yours Sincerely,

Big grin

cak!

salamz all,

Not updating due to unforeseen problems... chewahh!
The last stage of my study killing me softly! But InsyaAllah
Hope I will survive in this final battle.

Goodbye 2012 and welcome 2013.
One year older
One year to go
One mission is going to be accomplished!

Take care folks.

Happy new year to all :)

Eid Mubaraq

Happy Eid mubaraq to all...
Maaf zahir batin!
I am sorry for my very2 late posting.... I went back to Malaysia for a short whilst... Its good to be back to meet everyone at home.... Less than 2 weeks holidays but I felt its worth it. :)
Now i'm back in Uk to continue my "unfinish" business! To pursue my dream... InsyaAllah..
Its nearly there....

To everyone at home,
Tq for the support. especially to mama and abah. :)
Abah, please be strong and take a good care of yourself.
Mama, I am very thankful to live my life happily especially with your blessings and dua'.

Confuse

Left = Right
Salt = sugar
Lock the door = unlocked the door

I am always in dilemma.... bukan nyanyuk tapi asyik lupa or confuse!
Does this indicate that I am getting older heh?
Anyway I keep smiling... continuing with my daily routines...
8a.m - 7 ish p.m work in unis...
then laid back and relax at home
This is the journey that I have chosen for the past 3 - 4 years
Sighs....

Another year :)

Its my birthday today...
Alhamdulillah ...
I thank Allah for this opportunities...
I thank Allah for giving His blessing...
I thank Allah for Giving me a great family and friends ...
People used to say age is just a number...
does it matter?
Hmmm....
Albeit I'm getting older day by day, month by month and even year by year..
I am still the same person...
But
I wish I could change a bit of myself to become a better person...

I learnt from the past experiences...
all the good and bad things happened in my life
It taught me to be more matured and more sensible.

One thing that I've learnt the most ( might be as a result of living far away from home)
Always appreciate your family, their loves and tenderness...
Thinking about how my mum and my dad raised me ...
How workaholic they are even until now
because they want their children to be happy

I always said that I don't need their money anymore...
I just want their blessings...
Their Dua' for my success...
and of course their support...

I am proud to be the only son in my family...
Thank you for being there for me...
no matter what happen...

I am lucky to have 2 sisters that able to take a very good care of my family...

I am happy to have a great friends that always be there to give moral supports whenever I need it the most.

Thank you Allah for all of these...

A lovely present that I could not afford to pay....

Ramadhan Kareem ...

Ramadhan Kareem to everyone. Another year I am celebrating the this Holy month here in Uk. Alhamdulillah I feel good and bless. May Allah guide us to His path.

One thing that I miss the most is obviously spending this month with my family at home. especially for the Iftar and Tarawikh. Those quality time is priceless

I am missing a moment goes to Bazar Ramadhan... Colourful cakes, alluring foods, aroma of authentic curries, queues of people on percik stall etc

Spending almost 19 hours fasting is a challenging. :) Its a peak of summer and I am a bit lucky this time as most of the time it is just sunny intervals.

I pray and dua' may Allah forgive our sins and accept all our good deeds. I hope that we can take the opportunity to make some changes to be a better person.

May Allah give us opportunity to meeting again the next Ramadhan.

Ameen ya Rabb.

Break!

Dimitri - Tim - Me

You need a break?
This question is always pondering myself.
Seriously I can't give the answers.
Obviously after your hard work, you need at least some time to break right?
This is my final stage, final year, Would consider the final battle, final in everything...
So I don't want to waste those precious moment (In a good way :))
Oh I miss to meeting everyone...
I remember a prof mentioned to me "You are not solving the world's problem. You only touch one small bit of it"
Enjoy your life!

Me: Smile :D

History...

Its kind of hari ini dalam sejarah.
Jumpa sv 2 kali dalam sehari dalam 2 masa yang berbeza
sv2 jumpa pagi2 sebab memang plan asal meeting pagi... sv1 tak dapat join at the very last minute...
yg bestnya.. die siap call sv1 minta tolong handle me.. :D
lepas meeting cam rasa konpius etc
but still lega sebab ada juga insan yang highlights error yang tak patut aku buat kan...
Sessi petang...
Dengan konfidennya aku antar email kat sv1
tanya leh tak nak chit chat after office hour?
lepas 10 saat die reply... boleh! tapi lewat sikit sebab die tengah ade video conferencing.
Cam terkejut kejap... rasa happy and syukur sangat!
dalam kol 5.50 die datang
having a good and quality discussion for almost 20 minutes.
rasa kerdil diri ini bila Sv1 minta maaf sebab tak dapat join session pagi
aku sambil senyum (dan merendah diri) cakap
terima kasih banyak2 sebab sanggup datang lagi jumpa lepas office hours kan..
dah la Sv1 yang datang kat seat aku... huhuuhu 
Die explained semua sekali n rasa syukur n tenang sekali.
Terima kasih Sv1 dan Sv2
Not a long way to go
May Allah guide me through His path
Ameen Ya Rabb

Note: Sv1 - cikgu 1 Sv2 - cikgu 2 :D

Mum's Words

Home sweet home garden

One day whilst doing her own routine in our small garden, my mum said this...

"Nothing is impossible in this world as we are the one who make it to be a reality and not vice versa. God create us and give us brain to think and to explore every possibilities"

Then she smiles.

I almost stumbled whilst stepping on the reflexology stone [at the same time listening to my mum's words]

People and me : Malaysia

I keep updating myself with news from Malaysia. I read online newspapers and some blogs to further clarify certain issues. Utusan, Berita Harian, Malaysia kini, Harakah etc...

• It put me in baffled on which group should I trust? Seriously it put me in dilemma. If people take any initiative to read more and further investigates certain issues then it's fair to say that you have your own preferences! How about laymen?teenagers? How about people who are totally based on the rumors, sentiments.

• Most people judge the issues based on what they already believe or their perception about good and bad about something. Issues of morality for instance! If bad people represent the public than we have to reject and so on.... How about if good people represent the public but he/she do not reveal about his/her bad experiences before? How about bad people who revealed with honesty that he/she made big mistakes before and now would like to change and would like to represent the public? Do you want to deny his/her chance? Do you believe with second chance?

• Having different races, religion or beliefs does not mean that we can't live our life as a unite community. We shouted happily when Lee Choong Wei won the badminton tournament! We feel proud of Nicol David as World No 1 Skuasy player! We proud of our Harimau Malaya Football team! But when it comes to Politics we lose our faith of unity.  

• A good government able to help people and understand what are things that people really need. A good opposition acts as a counter balance on highlighting things that government do not fulfill or forget to fulfill.

• My sense: "Great" methodology in politics to convince people are work smart, deliver and produce.  It's not anymore with promising money, land or even facilities.  

• If people are really fanatics with political party... please be rationale. Nobody's perfect! Think before act.... Do your own homework to analyze whether it's true or not. Judge it based on the facts not based on your perception or word of mouth! 

• Do you think what we have now is still not enough? Enlighten me :) 

P/s : Sudden thought whilst configuring my study experiment :)

Humble thoughts from an ignorance student somewhere in Queen's land 

aahhhhhh

BACK TO PROGRAMMING STAGE [FULL STOP]

MOOD: [STRESS]

I need a break!!!! Ya Allah moga terus diberikan kekuatan..... This final hurdle is kind of challenging bit for me.
Usaha tangga kejayaan. Where there's a will there should be a way! So I'm still searching for the best way.... InsyaAllah.

Blur Malu entah

Kene tanya killer question bila meeting buat aku terdiam! I think 1st time ever in my life bila orang tanya aku tak boleh nak bagi jawapan... langsung! minda kosong! fikiran entah menerawang ke mana.... for the first 15 minutes aku berceletoh tentang apa yang orang dah buat dalam research bidang aku. Sv hanya senyum mendengar! rupanya semua tu mereka tidak mahu tahu...

"apa konsep kamu?" lantas ambil pen dan menulis sesuatu di papan putih....

Aku : hanya mampu tersengih! ( malu yang amat)

soalan mudah tapi sendiri mau ingat!
