Registered!

Semalam aku register course. Senang pula nak register kali ni. Sebelum ni ada juga problem. Siap print screen ngan print satu hardcopy lagi. There is no problem except that aku isi details dekat alamat:

State: KOTA BHARU
Country: KELANTAN

Tahun ni, Kota Bharu jadi negeri, Kelantan jadi negara. Hahaha. :p
I wasn't reading the details properly when filling the form.
Kena buat pembetulan ke nanti? Huh..~

I chose Gas & Petrochemical Engineering. Actually this is my choice since I entered my foundation programme for Chemical Engineering in July 2004. My interest is still the same I guess. But sometimes, I am not sure if this is the right choice.

To those yang dah register, major apa yang kamu semua pilih?

You forgive me, and I'll forgive you.

I found these quotes interesting enough for my day:

You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.

You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.

You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.

You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I'll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them.

Forgiveness brings inner peace.
Do we have a deal?


Yes. We have a deal. :D

Are all human naturally selfish?

Read here about this topic.
Some comments about the topic that really caught my attention:-

"I believe we are all naturally selfish. But that does not stop us doing things that benefit others as well, or even instead of ourselves. People have died to save other people lives....but it is in our nature to benefit ourselves first."

"Everyone is selfish. At the more primitive level we're concerned about getting our needs & wants fulfilled NOW (immediate gratification). At a more advanced level, we can understand how by being selfLESS and by being appreciative we can actually have a more fulfilling existence in the long run. So yes I'd say we're naturally selfish. I'm not sure it's possible to NOT be selfish. Everyone seeks their own fulfillment in life one way or another."

"Human behaviour is purposeful
Yes, we are.
I don’t have any more to add, to do so would only waste mine and yours time for today.
Q: Why are reply's on ATS to long? Don't people have better things to do ..... like go for a walk in the sunshine?
I'm off to get a coffee and a nice sunny walk"

"Every creature on Earth is selfish.
But I think humans are supposed to be above animals."



I have no personal opinion about this right now. Will talk about this later.
Maybe yes, I agree. I just don't want to admit it.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance...

Bosan. Terfikir pula, alangkah bestnya kalau ada game 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance (MUA)' di sisi. My notebook just don't have enough 'energy' to support the game..duh. Last year (during semester break), I played the game two weeks non-stop. (Of course I stopped for the basics - eat, sleep. etc). I passed all of the levels (Easy, Normal, Hard) - No cheating OK.

The hardest part was when I fought against Galactus, one of the biggest villains in Marvel.

Galactus

I am a big fan of Marvel superheroes. Maybe that is why I really enjoy the game. In the game, you can choose up to four characters to play with, and you will go through a lot of missions to save the world from the villains. Sounds great..huh?

Another game that I really enjoyed was Need For Speed Most Wanted (NFSMW). Being the most wanted, and feeling like you are at the center of attention. :D

I played simple games like Zuma, 7 Wonders and Insaniquarium for quite a long time as well.

I know most of the girls don't like complicated games. Most of the boys don't like simple games. We are from different world, I guess. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.

Care to share your favourite games?

Selamat Hari Guru...

Hari tu 11 Mei, lupa pula nak wish selamat hari ibu untuk mak. Dahlah aku call rumah pada 10 Mei. Tapi, everyday is mother's day, kan. Kita kena appreciate mak setiap hari (Ini ialah alasan sebab lupa Hari Ibu, harap maklum).

Semalam, hampir terlupa, 16 Mei ialah Hari Guru. Selamat Hari Guru buat semua pendidik especially my teachers, my lecturers from:-
- TABIKA Seri Murni, Pangkal Kalong
- Sekolah Kebangsaan Kok Lanas
- Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kok Lanas
- MRSM Bitara Pengkalan Chepa
- Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS


Jasamu mendidik daku takkan dilupakan buat selama-lamanya.

And, tak dilupa for my big bro yang baru start mengajar, be a great teacher.

This is a special dedication untuk semua pendidik tak kira di mana mereka berada:

Jika hari ini seorang Perdana Menteri berkuasa

Jika hari ini seorang Raja menaiki tahta

Jika hari ini seorang Presiden memerintah sebuah negara

Jika hari ini tiba seorang ulama yang mulia

Jika hari ini seorang peguam menang bicara

Jika hari ini datang seorang penulis terkemuka

Jika hari ini siapa saja menjadi dewasa;

Sejarahnya dimulakan oleh seorang guru biasa

Dengan lembut sabarnya mengajar tulis-baca.

(nukilan sajak Guru oh Guru karya Dato Usman Awang)

Thanks a lot for your knowledge and guidance. I am greatly indebted.

Freedom of speech.YES. But there is a limit.

Freedom of speech does not give anybody a license to insult another person's race, religion, place of origin, etc. This is what I think of freedom of speech. You can think whatever you want, but this is what I think.


I once had this conversation not long time ago:

A : Rosli, kau asal dari mana?
ME : Aku dari Kota Bharu.
A : Oh, orang Kelantan jahat-jahat kan? (This is the second sentence from that person. I remember it correctly)

ME : Kenapa cakap macam tu?
A : Sebab hari tu, time kitorang pergi Kelantan, ada geng budak2 laki kacau kitorang.
ME : Laa..korang pergi kawasan mana sampai kena kacau?
A : Jeram apa ntah nama dia. Jeram Linang kot.
ME : Tempat tu memang la. Aku sendiri tak pernah pergi sana. Tempat tu memang banyak budak nakal. Lain kali kalau nak pergi sana, pergilah dengan famili ke.

A : Apa-apa pun diorang mana bleh sesuka hati kacau kitorang.
ME : Kau pun tak boleh nak stereotype semua orang Kelantan jahat sebab jumpa a bunch of budak nakal dekat sana.
A : --- (diam seketika)
A : Kau asal Kelantan, kan. Sebab itu cara kau cakap lain sikit.
ME : Lain macam mana tu?
A : Ada bunyi macam orang Kelantan la sikit-sikit.
ME : (Dalam hati: whatever!)


Sampai sekarang aku akan teringat balik perbualan di atas bila orang kutuk-kutuk tentang tempat asal (atau hal yang berkaitan dengan origin).

Hari tu aku balik daripada lab dengan perasaan kecewa. Kenapa perlu stereotype? Dan kenapa tak menjaga limit freedom of speech tu? Freedom memanglah freedom, tapi jagalah sikit jangan sampai melampaui batas.

I tried my best to speak bahasa Melayu standard dengan korang semua (orang Pantai Barat). Memanglah ada cacat celanya. Aku tahu dan aku sedar. First time aku cakap bahasa standard pun bila aku mula-mula masuk UTP.

Nanti kalau aku cakap dialek Kelantan dengan kamu semua, kamu tak faham, jangan pulak salahkan aku.

P.S: New comments have been disabled. No more freedom. The limit is there.

Fake ads. Not funny at ALL.

Found this picture on Google Image Search today when I searched for ''BASF''.

So, I digged further about this picture. It was posted by Andrew Kantor, an American blogger long time ago. This is his story:

Three Fake Ads
Posted 03/5/04

A while ago I was doing some research about WWII when I discovered what some modern-day companies were doing back then. (In one case I looked back to WWI.) Just for fun, I created some fake ads for three of them — BASF, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen.

I forgot about them, then discovered them sitting in a folder. I actually think they’re pretty good considering I’m self-taught in Photoshop.

Now before you start getting upset (if you’re that kind of person), realize that 1) the stuff in the ads is true, 2) I don’t have any kind of agenda, and 3) my father and maternal grandfather were in the Army in WWII. So if you’re easily offended by people making fun of German and Japanese companies, maybe you should skip them.

This was just an exercise in humor, nothing more. I just thought it would be funny to create some ads that you would never, ever see.

Click here to see the BASF ad.

Click here to see the Mitsubishi ad.

Click here to see the VW ad.

(I’m sure there were a lot more companies — American, European, Asian — doing their bit to help kill their fellow men. I just chose these three.)

I shoudn't have read his blog. I should have skipped reading. I shouldn't have digged further.

Guess what? Now I am getting upset. I am upset knowing that there are people out there that think their country is better than the others'. I am upset knowing that people think that they are better than the others. Just because people made mistakes once, it doesn't mean that they will be forever guilty.

Be sure to click on the other two ads above (Mitsubishi and VW). Is the author really sure that those companies were involved in the war back then?

What do you think if one of the fake ads is related to one of your country's beloved companies? You know it is fake, but, will you not be offended?

Exercise in humor. Wth...

To err is human, to forgive is divine...

*Banyak kerja, tapi gatal tangan nak update. Okay kot, nak hilangkan stress sikit.

To err is human - very true. Human do make mistakes.

To forgive is divine - not really. To forgive and forget is real divine.

Question is, can you really do that?

Forgive and forget?

NOPE.

Everything is in your memories.

You will remember everything, unless you lost your memories.

Someone said, ''Just don't think about it, forget it''

And I said, ''Let the time do the job''

YES.

We will 'forget' when the time comes. But when?

Only God knows.

Or do you have any great formula to share?

Easy way(s) to forgive and just forget.

P.S: Staring at my xterm clients with nowhere to go simulations. Why is it too hard for it to go on without problems? Just like us.

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

Do you prefer talking or listening...

Grey's Anatomy is back. Since it was discontinued a couple of months ago, the show is on air again. Season 4 Episodes 12-14 are already there. I watched the show, and it is getting more interesting with the contest among them, the clinical trials and so on.

Meredith (the main character) takes the therapy due to her break up with Dr. Derek Shepherd. Only after her third or fourth therapy she starts to talk. It is really hard to talk about our problem to someone, isn't it? What about listening to the others problem? For me, both are really hard unless we put our trust on each other. To trust and to be trusted is very difficult.

Too much of talking will lead to a lot of mistakes in our words. Too much of listening will lead to misunderstanding that you're not really into a conversation. So what we have to do in a sharing session? Be moderate. It is not that simple.

For me, sometimes when I face some problems, I do need time, for I know if I talk or listen too much, it is vulnerable to more erroneous than the righteous things. I have this thinking "I am dying inside, who will know and understand well except me? And even if I let you know, will you really care? Will you be able to understand me?" That is why I rather keep my problems for myself. I rather be keep quite and not to make a fuss over a small crappy thing.

Sometimes I think that something is better to be kept secret as long as we can bear with it. Don't just talk and voice it out, for some words are too sharp that they can bleed someone's heart so much. I will try to cope with all the words, but I do have limit for my patient. When it comes to the limit, I tend to be emotional. That is what they always say. Emo, emo, emo...

But personally, if you really know me, when it comes to my limit, I actually tend to be quieter than before. I will talk less and I will prefer not to talk or listen too much. When it comes to this stage, don't ask me what is my problem. I will take some time to think back of what I have done, and hopefully everything will get better. My confidence might fall to the lowest level during the thinking. Trust me, it takes time for me to regain my confidence.


"You like to hear nice words, so don't make others listen harsh words from you. They might do the same to you one day"

"Trust is not a matter of how much you can talk and listen to someone about some matters, it is about how much you can talk and listen to someone about everything."

"It is really difficult to change our mind and perspective about something. It is like changing the shape of a rock by using droplets of water"


P.S: This entry is not in any way related to my current situation, it is just what I think about talking and listening when I do have problem with both.
