Internship unofficially ends today ... :(

Today is my last internship day at BASF SE, Ludwigshafen. Next week, I'll be taking a week long vacation, just to finish up my remaining holidays as allocated by BASF in the internship agreement. In fact, even with the whole next week of holidays, I still have 3 days of holidays untouched. (BASF allocates 20 days of holidays - I can't believe it until I experienced it!).

Right now, I'm sitting alone in the office (everyone else has left the office heading for home). I'm still trying to configure out my mind, to take a deep breath, and to make my farewell with my workplace as good as possible. But, I can't help it but to feel very sad. I'm leaving for good, why should I be sad?Why?

Maybe it is because I think that BASF is one of the most wonderful things that ever happened in my life. At first I was not really happy with my work, as I found it very new and really confusing for me to understand. However, as the time passed by, I know it was really good to be here; to do the simulations, and to be a little bit creative with the processes involve. I feel the freedom of working independently, and I enjoy the flexibility given by my supervisor. It was really great.

I am not saying that my working experience is the very best experience for a chemical engineer. What I can say is, working experience in BASF is a very good one, and I just realize that I really enjoy working here after knowing that I am going back to Malaysia soon. It doesn't mean that I am not happy to return to my hometown and UTP, but I just feel very sad to leave all the 8-months working routine, and traveling experiences here. I can't imagine it! Just go with flow, they say. Yeah, I hope I can go with the flow.


I'm planning to travel to some places nearby next week, just to bring back the old memories during my first arrival days here. I hope that I can spend my last days in Germany properly, and I can bring back some beautiful memories to Malaysia.

As for BASF, I will miss it, starting from now, always and forever. I hope I can live with it. :(

Yet another boring post: About Internship

*Introduction: Just another digital work that I have done last night. Tell me what you think. (Tak ada kaitan dengan topik di atas)

I need to write something today. Since I am still doing my internship, I am still in good mood to write about it, and it is good to reflect something about the program. My focus would be about the objectives of the program and how far they have been achieved.

These are the objectives of the internship program taken directly from the UTP Internship Guidelines (2007). The objectives of the training are as follows:
• To integrate theory with practice
• To introduce students to work culture and industrial practices
• To give opportunity to students to work with industrial practitioners
• To expose students to potential employers
• To acquaint the UTP students with industry and its programs

In my opinion, most of the objectives were achieved but in different ways for each and every intern. Dealing with different companies; different tasks, with different working environment, it is not easy for the interns to achieve the same objectives. Some companies really give the opportunities for their interns to really work, to be part of the team while some other companies will not give such high responsibilites for the interns to manage.

I have no complaints towards my internship. It is such golden opportunity to be in BASF and to learn research-based work. I have never thought that Chemical Engineering is very diverse from what I imagined before. It is an eye-opener for me. Experiencing life in a foreign country is really great, too. In fact, life experience here is far greater in term of value than the working experience.

I however do have complaint about the application procedure to BASF; about some administrative issues related to the program. It is not a big matter for my friends and I, at least. I just heard that thing got worse for my junior batch (Jun 2008 - Jan 2009 Internship). They didn't get advancement in scholarship and the flight was delayed for two weeks. For my batch, it was only one week, and we got the advancement in scholarship. Maybe for some people advancement in scholarship is nothing, but for me it is really an important issue.

I just feel sorry for them. I just hope that things will not get worse than it already is for the incoming batches. Do they really read the recommendations written by the students in the final report? I wish that they read and seriously implement the solution so that everything will get better. If things get worse, I am not really sure what are recommendations for.


Boring, huh? I'm bored too, that's why I am typing another blog entry today. :p

Menghitung Hari...

Tak sampai sebulan lagi, aku akan kembali ke Malaysia. Perasaan? Ada perasaan gembira tapi pada masa yang sama ada sedikit kesedihan. Teringat lagi masa awal-awal dapat tahu aku akan ke Germany. Memanglah seronok tapi rasa berat hati juga untuk meninggalkan keluarga. Nasib baik cuma untuk 7 bulan. Ingat lagi, ada sesi fotografi untuk student yang akan ke Germany. Pejam celik pejam celik sekarang dah hampir tamat pun.

Mizi, Tzu Fen, Aku, Pei Chie, Amir (not in the photo: Angie)

Okay lah, tanpa membuang masa aku akan ceritakan serba sedikit apa yang gembira dan apa yang sedih.

Aku akan balik 13 Julai nanti dari Frankfurt ke KLIA dan kemudiannya terus ke Pengkalan Chepa. Kira-kiranya 14 Julai nanti aku akan kembali menjejakkan kaki di Tanah Serendah Sekebun Bunga. Aku begitu merindui kampung halaman, aku rindu masakan mak dan kak long, aku rindu senda gurau bersama-sama adik beradik yang lain. Aku rindukan kawan-kawan, terutamanya my bestest buddy, Harith bin Razali. Bukannya aku tak rindu kawan-kawan lain, tapi mungkin kerana terlalu banyak masa aku di UTP selama ini diluangkan bersama Harith, bila dia tiada saja aku rasa macam ada ruang kosong dalam hidup seharian.

Oh ya, tiga orang intern (Amir, Mizi, Angie) akan balik lebih awal, pada 9 Julai kerana visa mereka tamat tempoh lebih awal. Aku balik bersama Pei Chie dan Tzu Fen pada 13 Julai. In fact, aku tak rasa apa-apa pun. Ada pro dan kontranya sama ada balik lambat atau balik awal. Balik lambat, aku boleh spend lebih banyak masa-masa terakhir aku di sini. Aku mungkin ambil cuti untuk minggu terakhir tu. Entah bila lagi aku akan berpeluang untuk berada di sini. Balik awal, lebih banyak masa untk bersama keluarga sebelum memulakan tahun akhir pengajian. Insya Allah, kalau panjang umur banyak lagi masa untuk bersama keluarga.

Gembira? Banyak sebab. Antaranya famili, kawan-kawan, dan makanan. Aku sudah jemu juga dengan makanan di sini. Tak banyak pilihan. Yang dapat dipilih pun belum tentu sama dengan selera sendiri.

Sedih? Salah satunya mungkin sebab sudah terbiasa dengan keadaan dan suasana di sini. Membayangkan kehidupan selepas ini tanpa tram, dan train untuk bergerak ke mana-mana sudah cukup untuk membuatkan aku berat hati untuk meninggalkan negara ini. Membayangkan kelas dan assignment yang akan bertimbun-timbun bila kembali ke UTP, membayangkan bila tamat belajar, macam manalah suasana kerja di Malaysia, aku begitu resah. Aku rasa kerja di sini sangat menyelesakan, tak ada stress, dan masa kerja sangat fleksibel.

I will miss a lot of things here. Dan bukan semua pengalaman di sini menggembirakan dan menyenangkan hati. Ada juga yang kadang-kadang mengguriskan hati. Ada yang membuatkan aku begitu terasing dan sunyi. Ada yang membuatkan aku emo. Tapi begitulah hidup, kan? Tak indah jika semuanya indah. :D

A big relief & hiking experience in Edenkoben

*Baru saja selesai final presentation untuk internship. A very big relief. :)

Now, I have more time to update the blog, as usual. As promised, I will share about the hiking experience. Semuanya bermula bila aku dimaklumkan ada aktiviti hiking for my department. At first I thought I wasn't invited for that activity since I didn't get any invitation letter. So, I called my supervisor, and it turned out that I was invited as well. :)

From the workplace, we went to Edenkoben which is about 45 km away. When we first arrived at the hiking place, I never thought that it will be very interesting. We just walked along the flat pathway, the scenery is almost similar to the one that we can see in Malaysia. I was very lucky to have a friend, Mark who brought a camera. So, I asked for his help to capture my first photo there.

Memulakan langkah with Bismillah..and peace :)

When we walked at higher altitude, it was getting more and more interesting. The scenery of the forest was very much different at the higher level, and the weather condition was really refreshing. It was really great. Nature is indeed one of the most fantastic things in the world.

More peace :)

Since we took the long route which was about 15 km, it was really time consuming and tiring experience, maybe because I haven't do any sport in ages. :p

Berhenti rehat seketika. Yes, my hair is getting longer, again. I don't plan to get my hair cut done during my last month here. :p

On the way to the top, I have this picture captured. This is my supervisor. He is from India. Well, he is very good in English. I have learnt a lot from him.

With my supervisor (right) and an intern from Malaysia.

And these are some more photos at the highest level that we explored that day.

With the Head of GCT/S

With Mark, a colleague at the office

At the end of the hiking activities, we were treated with dinner. The cuisines were totally different when compared to Malaysian cuisines, tapi bila lagi nak merasa makanan di sini? I took almost every vegetarian foods served, semuanya mempunyai rasa yang pelik dan apa yang aku boleh katakan, aku begitu merindui makanan Malaysia.

Hey, it is one more month to go. I am really happy with this fact, but at the same time, I feel very sad to leave wonderful experiences in this wonderful land; the Deutschland. Happy and sad; can they really be together?


p.s: Good luck to those who will be having their presentation soon.

Kecuakan kemelandaan.

Presentation next week. 10 June 2008.
Dr. Chandra Mohan yang evaluate. Never heard of him before.

Asalnya Dr. Zakaria yang patut evaluate. Tapi tak jadi.
Ayah beliau telah kembali ke rahmatullah. Al-Fatihah buat arwah.

Wish me luck everyone.
And for those who will present next week,
I wish all of you all the best. May Allah bless us :D


See you later.
After presentation :D

My body is killing me!

Baru balik dari Edenkoben

First time hiking..and it's a 15-km route!
Now, my body is killing me..
Sengal all over..
Maklumla dah lama tak exercise..huh~

Feels like my legs need 15 days of rest.

Tapi kan orang ckp without pain, life is not beautiful.
Betul tak betul you are the only one who can answer..

For me..
Yeah..it was a whole lot of fun!
Penat tapi berbaloi...except for the food. Hahaha. :p

Next time I'll post about this in details, with photos (need to claim them first)

Masyukk... :D

Tengah masyuk buat slide show untuk presentation next week, tiba-tiba terngiang-ngiang lagu 'Humko Hamise Chura Lo' yang aku layankan sebelum pergi kerja pagi tadi. Apa lagi, aku pun membuka laman web kesukaan ramai YouTube dan searched for that particular song. Waaah...masyuknya..nak tahu kenapa masyuk? Tengoklah liriknya. Hehehe. :p

Aaaaaaa... hmm hmm..

Humko humise chura lo, dil mein kahin tum chupa lo
(Steal me from myself, hide me somewhere in your heart)

Hum akele kho naa jaaye, door tumse ho naa jaaye
(Don't let me get lost in loneliness, don't let me lose you)

Paas aao gale se lagaa lo
(Come to me, take me in your arms)

Lalalala..~


Masyuk, kan?
Steal me from myself, steal ME! Steal ME!
Hahahaha.

Jangan salah sangka, aku bukan kutuk lagu Hindustan.
In fact, aku selalu dengar lagu Hindustan.
I love the musics, and the melody.
Kadang-kadang, hanya dengan menggunakan huruf 'A',
lagu dan melodinya boleh jadi begitu menyentuh jiwa.

Aaaaaaa...
Aaaaa..~


p.s: Teringatkan pesan sv supaya buat 7-8 slides saja untuk presentation. Keep it simple, maybe not more than 15, katanya. Aku buat 16, boleh tak? Ampun ampun terlebih satu slide. Huhuhu.

Survey on internship programme.

Here it goes, the poll result.

Question:
Internship will end soon. How do you feel?

Possible answers:
1.Great. No more work loads. No more over time.
2.Great. Back to student life. UTP. Ipoh. DC++.
3.Sad. I will leave my working life and great experiences during internship.
4. Sad. I will miss my office mates and my supervisor.


The result:

The most chosen answer is 'Great. Back to student life. UTP. Ipoh. DC++.'
How much we have missed UTP and our homes?
I feel this way, too. Missing home and hectic life in UTP :D
Most of us feel that studying is better than working, huh?
Ok..sometimes working is better than studying - for certain reasons.

At the second place: 'Sad. I will leave my working life and great experiences during internship.'
Not all experiences are good, but that is the reality- the truth.
Good or bad, all of them are memories that will not be forgotten, forever.
Put aside the bad things, and keep the good ones alive in our hearts. :D

Third place: 'Sad. I will miss my office mates and my supervisor.'
We do have new friends. If 7-8 months is not enough for even a new friend during internship, then it must be a very sad story to be told later. Friends, we will always need them, and the best of all are the ones that we really need whether we are sad or happy, whether we are alone or not.

Last but not least: 'Great. No more work loads. No more over time.'
I guess most of the interns are not burdened with tonne of works. But I do hear from some of the interns that they were burdened with lots of works in some work places (nama syarikat dirahsiakan atas sebab-sebab tertentu). Just bear with it okay, only one month++ to go. :p

Status-status di Yahoo Messenger...

Arghhhh..penatnya otak membuat report. Tak sampai sebulan lagi final presentation untuk internship. Cuak-cuak. Makin hampir ke penamat internship. Tak sabar-sabar nak balik.

Jangan salah faham, aku bukannya tak suka berada di sini, aku suka. Kadang-kadang aku rasa best juga kalau dapat kerja di sini.

Tapi, itulah, sebab dah agak lama di sini, aku rindu famili. Rindu kampung halaman. Rindu masakan kampung. Rindu PC aku yang mungkin sedang diperkotak-katikkan oleh adik aku. Balik nanti jaga-jagalah dia. Heheh.

Okeh, dah tak lama lagi. Lepas ni semua ini akan berakhir.

Kadang-kadang, bila bosan, aku lihat status kawan-kawan di Yahoo Messenger. Aku tahu, kamu semua pun suka melihat status di YM kan. Jangan nak menafikannya. Aku tahu.

Yang biasa aku lihat:-

0. tiada dalam talian - aalim.
1. haish..too bad~ - tuan dia kata ini tag, kena letak lama2. hahaha.
2. Be Right Back - status biasa bila tuan dia keluar sekejap - tandas, makan
3. Stepped Out - status untuk tuan yang keluar lama cket - kedai, jalan2 bilik orang
4. Busy - tuan dia mungkin tengah membuat kerja, report atau tengok movie. :p
5. Ada yang asyik Availabe.

6. Ada yang asyik Invisible. Aku tahu. Dulu aku pun asyik invisible juga. Sekarang pun, kadang-kadang. Aku faham sometimes kita tak nak diganggu, kan? Hahaha.
7. Ada yang asyik tukar-tukar status. - akulah tu dan beberapa lagi rakan-rakan.
8. Ada yang asyik berstatus jiwang. - you know who you are. Hehehe :p
9. Ada yang status keagamaan dan kerohanian. Insaf seketika semasa aku membacanya.
10. Ada juga status yang merepek-repek. Nyampah aku baca.

11. Ada yang asyik status pasal bola. Sekarang jarang pulak dia online. So dah xde update pasal bola lagi.

12. Ada status tajuk lagu atau movie atau series yang sedang dilayan.
13. Ada sesetengah status yang kadang-kadang aku tak paham langsung. Hampeh.
14. Ada status berfalsafah bukan main. - akulah tu tapi kadang-kadang je.
15. Ada yang asyik Idle berjam-jam - baik invisible je oi. Hahaha. :p
16. Tidak dilupa status yang mempromote blog masing-masing. :D

Sekarang aku suka tengok status Wadieq:
- FoR THINGS I did wr0ng, f0r WORDS which might hurt, f0r JOKES U can`t take, f0r ADVICE U can`t accept, 1001 Ap0LoGiES fr0m me

Status aku, pun aku suka juga: (aku kena suka, kalau tak siapa lagi nak suka?)
- Patience is a virtue. But limit it has.

Okaylah, satu lagi, status best buddy, aku tak paham sangat, tapi letak je la kan.
- menjaga hati - "..biarkan aku menjaga perasaan ini ohhh, menjaga segenap cinta yang telah kau beri, engkau pergi, aku tidak akan pergi, engkau menjauh, aku tidak akan jauh, sebenarnya diriku masih mengHARAPkan MU.."


Sudahlah, sudah penat aku mengarut. Aku nak sambung buat report pula. Aku doakan yang terbaik untuk kita semua. Good luck with report and presentation nanti. All the best. Amin. :D

Warning!! Achtung achtung...

Ding dung..ding dung. Achtung, achtung..
(maksudnya: Ding dung..ding dung. Perhatian, perhatian..)

Hari ini asyik kedengaran bunyi alarm dan announcement di pejabat. Lepas itu datanglah berbelas-belas kereta bomba dengan sirennya yang agak membingitkan.

Tak ada pula announcement mengarahkan kami keluar dari bangunan hari ni. Kalau minggu lepas, situasinya agak sama juga tapi kami diarahkan keluar. Menurut office mate ku, hari ini bangunan lain yang terlibat. Aku angguk saja, sebab aku memang tak faham announcement yang dibuat dalam bahasa Jerman itu.

I realize that being in the office inside a chemical plant, the danger is always there. Long long time ago, in 1921, dah pernah berlaku explosion di sini. Read here. Seriau juga aku lepas membaca pasal explosion ni suatu ketika dulu. Some of the facts:

*The explosion was estimated be equivalent to about 1–2 kilotonnes of TNT and was heard as a loud bang in Munich, more than 300 km away.

*The pressure wave ripped roofs off up to 25 km away and destroyed windows even farther away. In Heidelberg (30 km from Oppau), traffic was stopped by the mass of broken glass on the streets.

*About 80 percent of all buildings in Oppau were destroyed, leaving 6500 homeless. At ground zero a 90 m by 125 m crater, 19 m deep, was created.



Nonetheless, I think chemical plant is one of the safest workplaces. See here:

and also here. Anymore link(s) to make me feel safer? Hahaha. just kidding.

Walau di mana pun kita berada, hanya Dia yang Maha Mengetahui. =D

Report...and report.

In progress of finishing formal report for the first project. Alhamdulillah everything goes well, and my supervisor gives very much supports and advices in doing the report.

Now, wanna start doing the final report, which I have wanted to start from the last week but it was postponed due to changes of weather. (Alasan semata). Sekian.

Ok ok, to make my post longer, this is part of the report. Enjoy...hahaha.

''DEEPSim which stands for Discrete Element for Engineering Particulate Simulation is a proprietary software developed by BASF to model the particulate systems using the discrete element method. It uses linear spring dashpot model to.....bla bla bla....''


You don't understand it? Don't worry, I also don't...hahaha.

That's it, done for today. Its 4.30 pm. Wanna go home now. :D

What I do & don't like working with computer...

I do like:

- indoor work, worry-free about the weather

- eat & drink anytime i like

- tease and talk to my office mates whenever I like

- surfing the internet when I'm bored to death

- hear to musics all the time

- keyboard and mouse - yesssza I am a computer freak!



I don't like it when and only when:

the computer ''hang'', stucked, jammed... all those words that make all of my works gone in 60 seconds!

just like TODAY! dammit.



I guess I should bear with the only reason I don't like about working with computer.
Should I?

Hujan Emas di Negara Orang....

Dua bulan

Sudah lebih dua bulan menjejakkan kaki di bumi asing. Peluang untuk berada di sini sememangnya suatu anugerah yang tidak mungkin akan dapat dilupakan buat selama-lamanya. Mungkin sekali dalam seumur hidup peluang seperti ini datang. Terlalu sukar digambarkan apabila aku mendapat khabar bahawa aku akan menjejakkan kaki di sini untuk mengikuti latihan industri. Jasa semua orang (PETRONAS, Mr Affendy, dll) yang berusaha keras untuk mendapatkan tempat aku di sini pastinya tak akan aku lupakan buat selamanya-lamanya. Aku amat bersyukur tapi pada masa yang sama aku agak gementar kerana memikirkan bahawa ini adalah kali pertama aku akan keluar dari tanahair sendiri, tanah tumpah darah. Bagaimana agaknya..?

BASF Headquarters in Ludwigshafen

Pengalaman

Pengalaman berada di sini sememangnya begitu mencabar. Berada di kalangan minoriti sememangnya suatu keadaan yang begitu asing. Mata di sekeliling asyik memerhati dan meneliti, tapi mujurlah bukan dengan pandangan serong (mungkin). Orang-orang di sini boleh dikatakan agak peramah. Syukurlah aku bukan berada di Perancis. (Orang Perancis kurang friendly cket..first impression berdasarkan pengalaman). Teman-teman sepejabat di sini banyak membantu. Memang agak bertuah juga berada di sini. Suasana kerja yang begitu flexible, dan tidak mendatangkan stress setakat ini... Alhamdulillah.

Everyday scenery in BASF

Communication

Di dalam tempat kerja okay kerana ramai staff yang tahu berbahasa omputih. Masalahnya, bila di luar tempat kerja, kadang-kadang ada orang yang ditegur atau menegur hanya tahu menggunakan bahasa di sini, oh...tidak..kami sememangnya tidak faham. Maaflah, kami cuma tahu 'danke' (thank you), 'bitte' (welcome).... Menyentuh bab communication, English is not a prominent language here. In order to be able to survive, learning a few words of German would be quite good. Ada lah juga usaha kami untuk belajar cket2 mengenai makanan dan ucapan-ucapan ringkas untuk menegur orang di sini atau pun sekadar untuk membeli makanan. At least xlah rasa macam rusa masuk kampung sangat. (walaupun kadang-kadang terasa seperti itu juge..). See how difficult English is for them (that is comparable to how difficult Deutsch is for us..hahah):

Gathering

The most interesting thing here is to meet the Malaysian students yang belajar di sini. Memang seronok bila buat gathering dengan mereka. Terasa bagaikan berada di negara sendiri. Sekarang aku lebih banyak menghabiskan masa melawat ke sana sini, so tidak ada banyak masa untuk dihabiskan bersama mereka. Aku sangat bersyukur kerana Allah menemukan kami di sini. At least, terasa seperti ada keluarga sendiri di sini. Of course, I'll miss them so much bila balik nanti. For the time being, harap-harap akan ada lebih banyak gathering and we can hang out together. Best2.

They are so cool =D

Memasak

Banyak juga perkara baru yang aku pelajari di sini (selain kerja yang sememangnya tiada kaitan langsung dengan apa yang aku pelajari). Memasak salah satunya. Sebelum ini aku tidak pernah terfikir untuk menyentuh periuk belanga dan kuali, namun kini, untuk merasai makanan 'sendiri', terpaksalah aku me'rajin'kan diri. Sekarang barulah sibuk menelepon mak dan kakak, tanya macam mana nak masak itu dan ini. Sebelum ni, asyik tengok saje..tunggu mak panggil makan (ada nada penyesalan di situ...huhu)...Berapa kali juga aku gagal untuk memasak makanan seringkas nasi sedangkan aku sudah boleh ('boleh la') memasak lauk dan sayur. Lucu bukan. Namun itulah hakikatnya. Lets face the fact okay. Sekarang, aku sudah 'agak' mahir memasak nasi, okay? =D.

Kerja

Kerja??Kerja sememangnya best, you can go to work as you please as long as you get the working hour of 37.5 hours/week. Isn't that beautiful..? Alangkah bestnya kalau working environment di Malaysia pun sebegitu. Tidak perlu rushing untuk ke tempat kerja, dan fikiran tidak perlu melayang-layang membilang berapa jam lagi office hour akan tamat. Aku akan begitu merindui environment seperti ini bila aku balik nanti...mungkin.

Simulation

Kerja aku di sini lebih kepada membuat simulation memandangkan aku berada di bawah Research and Development (RnD) department. Simulation memang agak complicated dan memerlukan masa yang sangat lama untuk siap. Setakat ini, masa yang paling lama yang diperlukan ialah 5 hari. Entah apalah yang di'calculate' oleh software itu...Dan yang paling penting, results nya sememangnya unpredictable. Normallah....macam kehidupan seharian, it is always complicated and unpredictable. Kalau x, there is no fun la, kan?

Tram system: Most effective in-town transportation

Transportation

What I respect the most here is the transportation system. Sistem pengangkutan di sini amat efisyen. There is no wonder that they were really frustrated when the MAS flight was delayed for 24 hours + 4 hours during my first flight last year. Di sini, setiap hari kami menggunakan tram (it is quite similar to lrt system in Malaysia but it is operated on the ground, parallel to road network instead of on 'bridges'). Dan tram itu biasanya tidak pernah lewat walau seminit. Semuanya mengikut jadual yang telah ditetapkan. (kecuali bila ada strike macam hari ni - 22hb Feb..huhu..).

The same thing goes to train system. I wonder when we will have similar system in Malaysia. It covers all over the country and it is very efficient. No wonder here there are very few cars on the road. (mungkin juga sebab harga minyak terlalu mahal). FYI, Malaysia adalah antara negara yang paling murah harga minyaknya. Bukan minyak masak...minyak petrol. Kalau minyak masak, Malaysia x cukup bekalan. Huahaha. =p

ICE: Germany bullet train

Cabaran

Everything seem to be nice..huh? Everything seem to be nice doesn't mean that everything is nice. Cabaran di sini agak besar. Memang memerlukan kesabaran yang tinggi jugalah untuk meneruskan hidup di sini. Sebagai Muslim, berada di sini memang agak sukar. Untuk menunaikan solat memang satu cabaran yang memerlukan kesabaran. Masjid memang ada, tetapi tersembunyi. Tidak seperti gereja-geraja yang bertaburan di merata-rata tempat. Pergi ke mana-mana sahaja, pasti gerejalah tempat pertama yang boleh dilihat dari jauh. Al-maklumlah gereja di sini sangat besar dan tinggi berbanding bangunan lain. Masjid? Surau? Ada, namun memerlukan ketabahan untuk mencari. Paling-paling tidak, kami terpaksa bersolat di taman-taman.

Masjid

Di sini tiada tempat khusus untuk mengambil wudu', melainkan di Masjid. Kadang-kadang sesetengah masjid pun tiada tempat khusus untuk mengambil wudu'. Masjid di sini biasanya rumah orang Turki yang diwakafkan untuk dijadikan masjid, bukanlah bangunan besar seperti di Malaysia. Selalunya kami mengambil wudu' dari singki saja. Namun ini bukanlah suatu cabaran yang besar sangat, cuma diri sendiri hendak buat atau tidak saja. Cuma kadang-kadang, aku terfikir alangkah indahnya berada di negara sendiri, banyak surau dan masjid, tempat ambil wudu' pun sangat proper. Tapi itu pun, masih ramai yang leka dengan tugasan untuk menunaikan solat. Betapa ruginya. Di sini, aku cuma mampu berdoa, harap-harap suatu hari nanti akan ada kemudahan untuk bersolat...insya Allah.

Germany

Rasanya agak panjang sudah aku menaip. Bosan sangatkah aku? Taklah bosan sangat, cuma aku terfikir juga untuk berkongsi pengalaman berada di sini. Germany is a very nice country. I wonder why those Hollywood film producers keep saying something bad about Germany in their films. Maybe they should come here and see how the German people really are.

Malaysia

Macam-macam mana pun, seindah mana pun negara orang, aku tetap merindui negara sendiri. Walaupun ada orang cakap Malaysia politiknya tidak bersih (sehinggakan ada perhimpunan 'Bersih' baru-baru ni..*no komen*), jenayahnya berleluasa, kadar kemalangannya tinggi, dan macam-macam lagi, aku tetap merindui negara sendiri. Bukan jenayah dan politiknya yang ingin aku temui di sana (kalau boleh x ingin jumpa langsung pun), tapi aku ingin sekali merasai suasana aman dan harmoni di rumah sendiri, di tanah air sendiri, bersama orang-orang yang aku sayangi. (famili dan kengkawan..dun get me wrong). Betapa hujan emas di negara orang, hujan batu di negara sendiri....lebih baik di negara sendiri.

Apa-apa pun aku sangat bersyukur kerana berpeluang untuk menjejakkan kaki di sini. Pengalaman berada di sini akan aku abadikan sepanjang hayat, dan akan aku manfaatkan semaksimum mungkin..Insya ALLAH.

Bosan

Simulation yang aku start from last week kuar ngn results yang ntah pape nye, itu pun setelah hampir 5 hari aku menunggu. Aku terpaksa start balik dengan parameters yang baru. Aku pun sudah pening. Sudah tiga cawan (mug 'Widder') aku meminum air CHO-QuicK yang 'paling sama macam itu MILO.' Tapi otak aku makin pening. Bosan pun ada.



Tapi itulah keje. Getus hati kecik ku yang semakin membunga bosannya. Aku tengok orang lain best je masuk lab. Tapi aku mungkin takkan dapat masuk lab kat sini sebab keje aku xde kena mengena ngn lab. Tapi xpe la, ada orang cakap lab lagi bosan. Aku at least kalau bosan pun ada juga internet peneman hidup kat opis ni. Hehe... =D



Rite now, I miss my family so much walaupon baru je aku call last week. This week mau call lagi. Hehe. Seronok dengar suara mak, x jemu walaupun kadang-kadang cakap benda yang sama je berulang kali. I guess that is the power of a mother.

Okela..nak sambung keje. Jane..~
