3rd Sem..yosh :D :D!!

Assalamualaikum :)..

It's been a very d beri2 while since my last post. It's already the end of the 1st half of the 1st semester 2009. Dun wanna keep my blog 'bersawang' for a long time. Got lots of stuff to share, lots of thing to say, too tired and too busy to write. Oh, lets also blame my mental-block illness in writing for not updating the blog (that is, if there's someone who actually cares about me updating my blog :p). It's been already a week of a 2-week holiday for Auckland Uni. students (yahoo!!(what kinda hols with lots of asmnt and lab reports to write huh?..haha)), so I'll try my best to take this opportunity to update the content of this blog. I'Allah :). So to break the ice, I'll talk a lil bout my papers this semester. Yosh!!

I'm doing 4 papers this semester, and oh..all physics. Erm, physics is not a physics (so far..) unless you're immersed (voluntarily or forcefuly) into the realm of labs. Oohh yess..the labs. I got 2 3-hour labs per week and 1 3-hour lab fortnightly. So, I got this lab craze every 2 weeks, where my week will be filled with 3 3-hour labs (terbaek kan..huhu).

PHYSICS 211 (Analytical Techniques in Physical Sciences 3):

One serious class to substitute Maths 253 and Maths 260. This is basically a Maths course, taught in a physical science point of view. So you don't have to prove theorems for no apparent reason (in physics PoV of course :p). This is the smallest class for me so far, 15 students enrolled for the class, bout 13 appear regularly for lectures. We're gonna endure one 3-hour MATLAB lab fortnightly, 8 assingments, and finally 2 tests. Why do I took the chances of taking the course which no one tried before? Well, 1stly, obviously I'd wanna avoid Maths 253. 2ndly, I'd wanna reduce the burden for next semester for this course also equivalent to Maths 260, which I have to do next semester. 3rdly, to teach myself the sense of independence, try to do something which no one did before, hence, try not to depend on others so much. Wish me luck :).

PHYSICS 213 (The Geophysical Environment); Physics 230 (Materials and Waves) and Physics 240 (Networks and Electronics):

Nothing much to say bout these courses, they're precluded in our 'schedule' prepared by the university. The interesting part for Physics 230 and Physics 240 is, unlike 1st stage Physics (e.g Physics 150, 120) stage 2 physics labs don't depend on the course per se (do I use this word correctly :p?)(i.e. you're not assigned to different experiment for a single subject (240 and 230)). You do the same lab for both papers. The only thing is, maybe there's an experiment or two which you are required to do in order to pass the paper (this info is especially intended for our physics juniors..take note :) ). Oh, as I'm doing physics 230 and physics 240 in one semester, I'd have to do 2 lab sessions per week (1 session = 3 hours). So, there goes my weekdays. The training to become a physicist (be it a physics teacher, or wherever that may require my service later :) ). Oh..regarding the subjects which I intended to sacrifise this semester..erm..
Physics 230 and Physics 213. 2 out of 4 subjects isn't a good decision kan. So..waahh!!gotta strive for all subject la camnih..yosh!!


p/s: Thanks to Sho, the one responsible for introducing this heart touching memories of high school song to me (ooh I'm not gay jz becoz I say heart touchin yeah..huhu)

Ngarut2an Dari Internet ~ :D

Assalamualaikum :)..
m goin away 4 a moment from my study desk, n my dear assignment (yes, assignment(s)..on d 1st week of skola..haiih~). Surfin the net, readin ppl's blog, and I found this from Shahida's. How funny I wont feel sleepy doin this test, unlike bout 5 mins ago, while doin my asmnt..hahaha. So, this's d result and my comment :D. Yosh~!!:

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties (Me..an efficient problem solver?).

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people (Somewhat yes). You don't judge a book by its cover (sometimes..), so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style (Definitely..!!). This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes (again..me..attractive to others??).

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person (gotta finish d studies n work 1st la..huhu). And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might see that person (Will I?).

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive (am not so straightfwd..melayu le katekan), so you will find yourself with plenty of dates (Plenty of dates? yes..in Ramadhan. Ramai org baek sedekah kurma kat surau..).

Your views on education

Education is very important in life (No doubt!!). You want to study hard and learn as much as you can (There's a big chasm dividing WANT and WILL..I want? yes!! will I? That's gonna need a lot of effort..yosh!!).

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income (So rite :D). Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life (So rite :D).

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working (haa? correct correct!!).

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear (No Comment).

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice (waah..dasat2..hahaha).
People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues (zat so?). Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve (I humbly agree..huhu).



Test taken from here.

p/s:
How great is Allah.

He created the universe, which revolves according to His will, unaffected (in a bigger aspect) by our insignificant (relatively) being.

How great is He, The One who created the universe which moves beautifully and continuously, even when we sleep.

How great is He, Who don't need any time to sleep nor rest. He, who always exists.

He, Who owns all the knowledge and powers.

And we, are His servants, who strive to even know ourselves.

Aiseh..Salah Akaun la Kak :p..

Assalamualaikum :)..

There's a story of this guy, who was approached by this beautiful young lady. He was then asked, in a provocative way (somewhat..hehe), "Why tudung? Not all the 'tudung'ians (i made up this term :p) are good. There're loads of them who were as bad or even worst than those who didn't wear them" (wallaweh~). This guy looves~ givin analogies. To him, it shows the extent of his understandings towards the situation.

He somehow remembered an analogy given by brother Shah Kirit in a talk he attended while he was in college. A brother asked brother Shah Kirit, "Why a good non-muslim, who lives his/her life sometimes better than a muslim, being the best ever friend one could ask, the best ever kid parents could ever dream of, and being such a good human being, be sent into hell, while he/she's only slack was JUST not acknowledging the deity of Allah and Muhammad as His messenger?"

Brother Shah Kirit replied (summerised version :p):

"There's a person who saved a big chunk of her salary in a bank account for the benefit of her future. Who each and every month tried her best to discipline herself to keep her budget tight. Who endured the hardship of living with small expenses, just for the sake of a bright future. She deposited the money each and every month, and never missed a single month to do so. By the time she wanted to withdraw the money, to enjoy her savings, to her shock, her bank account was empty. "What's the problem?" she asked. Well, it's eventually came to her knowledge that the account she used to deposit the money, was not hers. All these years, she put the money into a wrong account!! How then could she enjoy the money she painstakingly saved..rite?" (*ignore technical issues from this analogy :)). The person in this story, couldn't use her savings, instead, suffered the consequences, JUST because she put her money into a wrong account.

Back to the issue of aurat, with a bit of twist from the analogy (my version :p..yosh!!):

"There's a person who wanted to save her money into a bank account. She created an account with a bank of her choice. Like most of the people (including me..), she hardly read the terms and conditions. "As long the moneys are safe" she thought, so do most of us :p. Unlike the previous story, she make sure she put the money into the right account. Sometimes, she saved more than any of her colleagues do. By the time she wanted to withdraw the money, she was shocked when she recieved her bank statement. She looked at the bank statement with mixed feelings, as the figures printed in the paper was much less than what she expected to gain. She read a letter attached to the bank statement:

"We are sorry to inform that your money has been deducted every month to pay the penalty fees as you keep on breaking the terms and conditions of our bank.""

Lesson learnt:
1) Do remember to choose the right bank.
2) Do remember to save in the right account.
3) Do read and understand the terms and conditions of the bank of your choice.
4) Try our best not to break the terms and conditions, as the consequences will be faced by, well, none other than us.

Cheers :D :D.

Tgk2 Muke Punye Pasai ~ :D..

Assalamualaikum :)..

'Mental block = an inability to remember or think of something you normally can do; often caused by emotional tension' <<< This is what I'm suffering rite now.

I read this article quite some time ago. A good article I should commend, somehow 'terkena batang idung sendiri'. Credit to iluvislam.com:

Ehem, Gambar Muslimahkah Ini?
www.iluvislam.com
oleh:private_xplorers
(dipetik dari blog WEWR ~khabar dari urdun~)

MUQADDIMAH

Terkadang bila melayari weblog-weblog rakan, menjelajah ke dalam dunia maya bagi manusia yang memayakan diri mereka, saya merasa hairan melihat sesetengah weblog muslimah, yang bertudung, yang menutup aurat, tidak segan silu pula untuk memaparkan gambar masing-masing.

Tiadalah terlalu salah untuk memaparkan gambar anda, ya muslimah sekalian, namun, sayangnya, anda terlupa bahawa gambar yang anda posting itu adalah gambar sebesar skrin 17 inci! Setiap butir jerawat dan bulu halus di muka anda terpampang rapi!

MUSLIMAH & GAMBAR : ADA APA DENGANNYA?

Tidaklah tujuan saya mengaibkan kalian. Saya adalah rakan kamu. Sahabat kamu. Yang enggan melihat wajah-wajah anda itu, dipaparkan sewenang-wenangnya kepada orang. Biarpun wajah bukan aurat mengikut sesetengah mazhab, namun tatkala fitnah mengundang, tidakkah ia melayakkan ianya ditutup dari pandangan umum? Muslimahku, Dunia internet semakin berkembang maju. Satu hari, satu weblog, mungkin berjuta-juta orang yang melihatnya setiap hari.

Di kalangan mereka ada yang bagus, yang menundukkan pandangan selaras firman Allah dalam Surah An-Nur “Katakanlah (Wahai Muhammad) kepada orang-orang lelaki Yang beriman supaya mereka menyekat pandangan mereka (daripada memandang Yang haram), dan memelihara kehormatan mereka. Yang demikian itu lebih suci bagi mereka; Sesungguhnya Allah amat mendalam pengetahuannya tentang apa Yang mereka kerjakan. ”

Namun, kita harus akui, bahawa di kalangan jutaan orang itu, ada yang hatinya sakit, ada yang jiwanya perit menanggung kesakitan akibat terlihat wajah-wajah kamu biarpun kamu bertudung litup. Muslimahku, Kalau kita lihat dunia gambar bukan main maju lagi. Dahulu, cuma setakat kamera yang perlu dicuci gambarnya. Kini, telefon juga menjadi kamera. Kamera pula lebih dahsyat, lebih instant, sesegera mee segera yang sama kerosakan yang dibawanya, penyakit hati. [Emphasis added]

Alangkah malangnya, kalau wajah-wajah anda yang terpamer itu, mengundang gejolak rasa di jiwa insan bernama lelaki, yang beriman akan beristighfar dan memujuk hati, manakala yang sakit jiwanya, akan mula mengganggu anda. Mula memburu anda dengan SMS, telefon, hatta mungkin mendekati anda, dengan tujuan memiliki anda….

Hanya kerana satu kesilapan yang mungkin anda tidak terniat, wajah anda terpampang besar di internet! Gambar adalah bayangan realiti. Namun mungkin juga ia fantasi. Kadangkala tertipu juga lelaki pada fantasi Photoshop, Fireworks dan seribu satu pengedit gambar lagi. Kalau itu memang tujuan anda, anda tanggung sendirilah. Tapi kalau niat anda cuma berkongsi, dengan tanpa sedar mengajak fitnah bertandang, maka amaran saya, hati-hatilah!

PENYELESAIANNYA….

Andalah sahaja yang mampu menyelesaikannya. Bukan orang lain. Diri anda, andalah yang harus menjaganya. Apa tujuan anda bertudung dan menutup aurat? Bukankah kehendak syariat dan ingin menutup pandangan orang kepadamu? Maka, soalan saya, menundukkan pandangan bukan kehendak syariatkah? Memaparkan wajah anda besar-besar menutup pandangan orang terhadap andakah? Kerana weblog-weblog dan web foto itu milik anda, seharusnyalah anda kecilkan wajah-wajah anda dengan mengecilkan saiz gambar itu.

Banyak cara boleh dilakukan menggunakan perisian pengedit gambar. Belajarlah daripada yang tahu. Hindarkanlah aksi-aksi dan posing-posing yang hanya akan menambahkan lagi kerosakan jiwa masyarakat. Sekiranya niat anda hanya ingin berkongsi dengan rakan muslimah anda, lakukanlah secara tertutup. Elakkan posting yang boleh dilihat oleh segala macam jenis orang. Kalau lebih mudah, anda kirim saja emel bergambar pada rakan muslimah anda itu.



Ingat, wajah anda, anugerah Allah.

Anugerah Allah itu hanya layak dilihat berkali-kali oleh yang layak sahaja...
Wallahu A’lam

[Emphasis added]

Wanita solehah, Itulah sebaik-baik hiasan...

As We Move on~ :D

Assalamualaikum :)..

I called my family yesterday. I told my mom how sometimes I had this dream and when I woke up in the mornin, I felt like I was already in Malaysia. Well, I got the same dream yesterday. shut, am I homesick or somethin?

Btw
As I surfed the net just now, browsin the net like I got nothin to do, searchin the youtube for any videos that I might be familiar with, then..I found this treasure (credit to sho for the video):


Background story for the video:
The video was prepared for Minggu Apresiasi Puisi (or somethin..I can't remember precisely). If you are detail enuff, and look at the clock beside the door, we did this crazy clip at around 0130. Ooh, the video never played as we intended it to be (on the Puisi night). Got some glitches. Darn it. Anyways, it's pretty cool I think :p.


Man..how sometimes we can be so mengarut..hahaha

p/s : gotta delete this post b4 I start teachin.. hahahancurkan dia!!

The Problematic..Well..Me (sigh~)

Assalamualaikum :)..

Juz received my marked essay assignment.

"... but your written expression and grammar is problematic" (chanteet~)..

lesson learnt:

As I warned earlier, my English grammar isn't good (politically correct (PC) for bad)..

I do think the style used for my essay and posts here aren't that different.

Hence, don't (never kot) take my posts here as a benhmark for formal writings (academic essays), and grammatically-correct articles.

soo~

Towards a better grammar usage!!

Yooooosh~!!

p/s - I've been learning English for years now, with minute improvent. Well, better with some than none. Better to realize than to not :D~
