"A man is known by the books he reads"


I've stumbled upon a saying while I was at the city center this Morning and it says,

"A man is known by the books he reads"

Hmmm..i Wonder...If i read all those Thermodynamic books, Fluid Mechanics, Maths and Statistics ..even Project Management titiles..Makes me A thermoFluid mathematician Project Manager?!?!...huhuhuhhhuhuhuh....but it was a nice saying tho!!...

I've always listen to people say about what they feel about life, how they go through difficulties, how they make themselves happy and so much more.... A guy once told me,

"Men are like wine! They get more valuable when it gets Older!! When Women are like Milk, need to be consumed fast!!"

I'm not gonna be sexist or any...But maybe he has a point there!!..And I'm sure the ladies would agree on me this!!... Scientifically, the MEN matured later than the WOMEN... Women start to reach puberty as early as 10 years old, where vital physical changes taken into place. Their chest become more swallen, which later forms to breasts, height of the girls suddenly shoot up ( I used to remember i was shorter than most GURLS in my school!!) and Pubic hair starts to grow around the groin... Then Period cycle starts on rolling and now girls starts this Hormonal changes, a lot of stress, stomach pains and many more (someone help me here!!!)...These changes would come to a plateau till a girl reaches 17 or 19 years old where changes rest for awhile!!...

Then NOW the Guys turn!!... Hormonal Changes starts as EARLY as 13 (quite early) or as late as 15!!!...Hormons starts to kick in the body this time around. Guys starts to change their voices from Squirmy tiny little voice to DEEEEEEPPP growling Voice...( if you think you voice havent change..then..there must be something wrong with you!!..hehehehe).. Chest becoming more broader, Hairs starts to grow at places you think It should grow, like at the face area, armpits... and also at the Pubic Area!!.. And Penis become larger and longer..(What a STUD!!!..hwuahwuahwuahwa) And will reach the saturation rate at about of the age of 20-21..
You see!!.from there on...


You know, the girls developed faster than men.. But Men, when they have already FULLY developed ( I know this will excite the girls!!!)... Mentally... we are not matured enough!!... But Girls already thinking of something more matured than the guys..and gurls have this biological ticking bomb!!...every WOMEN worst nightmare...PMS...Pre-Menstural Syndrom!!!...No babies after this stage...and my GOD!!!...hormonal imbalance this time around!!..So...thats why Woman are like MILK...consumed it fresh...hehehehehe
Men on the other hand is different!!... They are like plain piece of paper..Once MEN have the Paper (Reaching Maturity).. They cant decorate the room yet...because its PLAIN!...would you wanna have a room with PLAIN WHITE wallpaper on your living room!??..SO Men need to decorate themselves to make it INTERESTING!!!... So..as you get older..you tend to be wiser!!..you can cope with matters easily...and YUP...MEN need to read more...THEREFORE the phrase earlier is agreeable!!...


FURTHERMORE!!!!!...I couldnt agree with this sentiment 100%...Where Older MEN are more matured than the younger ones.... SOME are more matured than the OLDER Guys!!... Because of the way they were brought up...Maybe they saw something else from the OLDER MEN!!... And the Ladies too...Older WOMEN doesnt mean they are MORE Matured!!...Some act like CHILDREN!!...also the way of brought up or experiences that they have gone through..

SO...where am i GOiNG in this Journal today?!...hmmm...I dont have a clue really...heheheheh...but What Im trying to say is.. Not necessarily OLDER Men are more matured and more sensible to their judgement, Younger ones too can be more matured enough! All you need to do is GET TO KNOW him before make any conclusion.. Even for the Ladies...Younger girls doesnt mean they are still a kid...they MATURE faster than MEN...remember that!!...so ..their Feelings shouldnt be fooling around...She might be young...but Her mind is Different...sometimes they think on PAR with older guys...

Therefore GUYS...read more books!!...And girls...hmmm...stay loving to your guys!!...hehehehehe...

Till next time!!

iDAN
ps...Ermmm..i dont know whats get into me today...hehehhehehe...

A grey day or grey hair?!...(the End of 2005 countdown Begins!!!)

for the next few days till end of the month I will be writing a recap of 2005!!!...enjoy!!)
Its Such A glooomy day today... raining from Morning till the evening (830pm) and Its soo cold...windy...greyy..and thank GOD theres no classes today...just some measurement taking and supposing ly meeting my supervisor which happens to be YESTERDAY...great!!!...
But the day wasnt wasted just like that... I make sure that everyday, something has to be done!!...even cutting my finger nails counts...

Well... Today really woke up my mind how grateful I am to be coming from a country which is WARM, HOT and yea...cant avoid the Humidity... Its the weather factor which keeps our mind working.. If you see grey dull day...you will be dull and grey too!!..(I have to confess...i got few strands of grey hair ... some people find it sexy i supppose?!...hehehehe)....But when your day is Bright shining day...You life will be bright too!!...a lot of things can be done in a day like that!!...but when its COLD??...when its WET??...when its DULL Grey day?!?...you just wanna be in the bed covers with your love ones...just cuddling each other....*sigh*....for me?...Cuddle my pillow of course!!...

But yea...being here in the UK really make me feel how lucky i AM going back to Malaysia this summer for good!!..yups Ladies and Gents...This is MY final year stay here...Im going back and leave UK... Its not that Im not coming back but...I will go home eventually.. and Finish my degreee... It was sure a lot of fun while Im here... Travelling...meeting new people, new friend, newly found life...and above all...the experience living away from HOME....somethings that you dont realised that what you capable off when you at home..or in your country... because you know, you will be alright....Family and friends around...But when you had to live alone in foreign land...thats something else...

I guess i have talked about me being sick here , how i cope with stressed (some even say i look like Einstein!!!!..hehehehehehe )...How i dealt with people who claims to be "YOUR FRIENDS" but in reality...they were fake!!!...ugghh..i hate these people!!....saying They dont have car to see you but at the end...going out for a date with someone else.. WITH HIS CAR!!...so called friends... hmmmmm...but its OK...human being...bound to make MISTAKES...
Friendships sometimes is kinda dangerous!!...You think they are nice people...showing their smiles, showing how "caring" they are...but you cant trust them that MUCH!!!...maybe just make them as acquaintance is OK... I admit...I might have a lot of people on my NETWORK...but I have handful of REAL friends... You know who you are ...and Thanks for being there for me... Friends are people who not just share the Happiness...or laughter...but also the people who brought you up from the slumpS!!...they are your real friends..and I thank to them...I really love them !!!...Miss you all guys!!...

Then...theres this thing called LOVE...yea..for those who dont know...Love is something that come to you platter and you can have it..NOPE....Love is something you find and nurture them till you know you're ready for loving that person...You dont just get a gal/guy who is goodlooking/pretty and say.."hey..would you be my boyfriend/girlfriend??..i kinda fancy you coz you look cute"...Ladies and GENTSSS...if you do this way...You are TOAST...a slap on your face maybe...Loving a person is a comittment...you know, he/she is the only one you love (apart from loving your family and friend) and he/she should be your friend too...Sharing each others moment is something nice...Trusting each other is also something you should honour in a relationship...Appreciating each others companionship is a big PLUS!!...with all these...Love can be found...for some of you who dont know...I love my Love so much...coz She brought back my life...and she made me feel as if I can fly up to the skies and reach for the stars!!... (other words...she made me confident) And as for me...I just wanna make her happy, smile and laugh whenever shes with me... I love you sayang... (More tips about relationship visit MEN ARE HERE)

Multiply has been very kind to me... A year has Passed...It has been a venue for me to know a lot of people from ALL over the WORLD...and it has been a place for me to write, post or share something from my HEAD...thats why my PAGE is called iDAN's WORLD...what ever running around in a small world of MINE.... Without Multiply, maybe i wont got the chance to travel around Europe or in the UK... and without it...I wouldnt know my true friends and found my Love... Lynn, Tiar, Tuty, Della, Kak Lina, Joshua, Susan Melissa, Susan in the US, and many more (please dont be offended if i didnt mention your names!!)... And My love... Haslinda... Thanks Multiply!!!...

But on the sad note!!...i wont be writing this Forever!!!...it will end eventually...maybe I would just write it occasionally...but among Multiply, Blogspot, Friendster, Myspace, Fotopages and many more this kinda thingy...I will close my Myspace soon...fotopages looks like so slow..dont know whether continue or not...(maybe in the future) but definitely retain my Blogspot, Friendster and of course..Multiply..but wont be as ACTiVE like this now...
SO there you go...A grey day for me...but its just another day passed....Before you know it...its already at the end of the week!!...goshh!!...Time really flies!!.... Well...have a Nice day people...where ever you are!!...

These Days...

Maybe 20 years ago, I wont be writting this, well..20 years ago I was 3 and I don't even know how to write except ABC and 123. Now, 20 years later, I'm writting all the way on Blogspot, Multiply and also on MEN ARE HERE. Which is quite awesome tho, nowadays Everyone can writes and everyone can share their opinions and views on certain things.

Well..20 years ago, the world would have ever thought that this one small tool, or small device is soo IMPORTANT in ones life... and this is the life line and a communication tool for everyone. And this device that i meant is HANDPHONES or some might know it as MOBILE PHONES.. Tell me...can you live without A mobile phones these days?!...What will you get when you go back to the house when you've already half way through your destination... Dont tell me you're gonna get some milk bottle for your baby... but you'll definately will be getting your mobile phone.. Let it be when you're late to work...You always wont let your phones behind.

Maybe the telecomunication industry has been revolutionised for the past 15 years. I used to remember the ATUR kinda mobile phone, where you carry a big looking brief case which was the battery pack for your mobile. And it only lasted you an hour worth of talk time. Then theres the Motorola kinda phones, in Malaysia, they called it "telefon baling anjing" or should i say (sorry for animal lovers!!!) " Throw to the dog kinda phones"... why was it called as such was because, even tho the battery has shrink from a suit case to a brick...when you throw it to the dog or attempt to throw to the dog...it will run away from you... Then Nokia flooded the market buy producing cheap and small phones... Then everyone now using Nokia... look everywhere, see what phones are they using...i can bet 10 out of11...(what of the odds man!!...)is using NOKIA!!

But now the handphone industries are becoming more competetive. Certain part of the country, like UK or in JAPAN, mobiles are given free of charge when you subcribe to contract of 12 or 18 months. Some even sell phones cheaper than your lunch set ( 3 course meal)...But what ever it is, you cant live without handphones nowadays. Even my 5 year old nephew is using a Nokia 3310...My 1st handphone was when i were 18 years old...and I had to work for it...


Today, I'm kinda sad, the phone iM using is kinda OUT of ORDER!!!... tried to salvage it but i think i need to put it to a stop..My Sony Ericsson T610 has gone KAPUT!!...kinda strange..i didnt dip it in my cup of tea or i sat down on it... All my important Numbers are there... Even my family's number...

Getting a new one is also kinda hard!!...its like choosing a life time suiter...The purpose of telephones now has been slightly differed.. Not just communication but also, its the sense of fashion, status quo, an entertainment device (3G, mp3 player etc) and some used it as a storage space...some might use it to make a movie!!...technology enables us to do wonders!!

So.. Handphones or mobilephones now can be so essential to us, you cant life without it and...ermm...(how was it supposed to be said eh!?...anyone!?)...its a personal way to get connected with anyone in the world. I used it to call my Sayang and my family...Text messaging also becoming another essential being this time around...so Handphones...hmmm..ARE IMPORTANT!!...

No snow yet!??.

The Winter Sun

Certain parts of the UK is snowing, everyone is enjoying the white snow flakes coming down to earth. Its kinda early to be coming down this time around compared to last year, which usually occurs around Mid-late December..But Birmingham, no sign of Snow yet...just Bloody cold wind which gushing sooo fast and cold..Even Marry Poppin cant fly in this kinda weather...Maybe she'll end up in Timbuktu or somewhere...

Yups..Speaking about holiday...its not really a holiday really...this year, i have nothing in store to spend my holiday.. Firstly, My dear friend Mas has gone back to Malaysia, if shes still here...maybe i could be her mom's loyal food eater!!...hehehehe...Her mom would cook..wahhh..Malaysian Dishes....i dont mind spending the pounds just to get myself to Lancaster... then last year, Lynn came by...and we had 10 cool fun days together...Dudley, Scotland and a stint in London...the day in London was the most non-forgettable day of my life...we arrived 4am from Scotland to Birmingham and then at 6am we head straight to London...and we were knocked out at the end of the day...Slept the whole way in the BUS...right Lynn!?....This year?...staying the the Uni and do my work maybe?...im hoping for miracle to happen... =)

Ahh..I've applied for a job at several places this year, Retail outlet ( like the one i used to work in Malaysia ) and few shoe outlet (crossing my fingers for this coz i LOOOOVEE SHOES!!).. all weekend job...get some money for my future plans in Malaysia... Maybe using the money to get married with my future wife...or maybe get myself an apartment...yea...for my own family... =P soo...pray for me to get the job!!!....hehehehhehe

Alright..I wanna sleep..so that i could wake up early...(hopefully!!!) but before i end todays journal, I leave you with this Trivia about me...taken from a friend of mine, Fieza

Enjoy your weekend!!

tata!!
iDAN

Get to know yourself better

Something I seldom do...got this trivia/survey from Fieza who is in JAPAN!!!...arigatooo Hellomoto!!..hhehehheheh

Your view on yourself:

Well, they seems to say iM friendly and yea..i think i am..I love myself, I love my family, i love my Sayang Haslinda so much, i Love my iPOD (although its not the movie iPOD..getting that one soon..hopefully!!)...I like to travel and so far Ive been travelling around the UK (Oxford, Sheffield,Manchester, Lancaster, Scotland, London, Norwich, Cambridge) and also around the Northern part of Europe ( France, Brussels,Netherland, Germany, Denmark) by train.. I love taking photographs, mainly on something that is telling you a story of my day, I'm a die heart fan of F1, Speeed, fast cars and motorcycle and ....ahh..i Love to sleepp!!...hehehehhehe

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

Well...i dont need to look for one...because i found her and i love her soo much...InsyaAllah (God's Willing) will settle down with her...I love u HaslindaYour readiness to commit to a relationship:I dont wanna spend my life alone anymore, i Wanna share it with My sayang...Im ready to settle down after i Finish my studies...

The seriousness of your love:I might look flirty, because im Friendly, but seriously, im Loyal to one, im Romantic and i will do anything and everything for my Love....so did it describe my seriousness of my love?!?!?..

Your views on education

Education is a never ending process, and education doesnt come just in text book, your daily life is an education, just need to be observant, look at things, ask why and you seek for the answer.. I've learned a lot from LIFE really...23 years of living, I think ive seen more than anyone around my age. My parents is another factor of me having this kinda knowledge.. They thought me how to appreciate education of life ..Thank you Abah and Mama... Love you both so much...

The right job for you:

Ahhh....something challenging and doesnt make me bored that fast after completing a job!!...so can i consider myself a practical person?!... =P

How do you view success:

Success is something that everyone seek for. My friend Eddie told me that Im kinda guy who will spear head to something and if i hit my head hard, i would say Ouch..and try again!!...i will do something that i believe that can bring success to the fullest....I dont play safe maybe... *wink*

What are you most afraid of:

Losing someone that i love the most in my life...My family, My sayang, my friends..and yea..my iPOD...heheheheheh

Who is your true self:

Wow..im Still learning about myself, but from the feedback people has been telling me, im More matured than any other guys my age or maybe guys who is older than i Do...iM diligent, Sometimes so LAZZYYY!!!....but I love the people that i love.,..i will do anything for them...

My love

I have found the person whom I call my Sayangg (love)...

Even though I was happy being single, travelling here and there, meeting a lot of people, but I never felt this happier than before.. Even in my past relationship with other ex GFs. And I have to admit that, we are in a long distance relationship. Even though we are far apart, but my sayang quote to me

"Love is like a river, will cut a new path whenever it meets an obstacle..."

and i also believe in this saying

"To get to a beautiful rose garden, you ought to go through a field of torns before reaching them..."

Nothing comes easily..And there is a significant reason for it... It makes us appreaciate both of us even more... Sometimes we take things for granted. But when you realised that its hard to get something or LOve in this matter, you will treasure it like there is no tomorrow...




Sayang,
You are the angel from heavens for me
You brighten up my days with your sweet warm smile
You are the stars guiding me through at night
You are everything to me
i cant imagine my life without you

Without you I will be lost,
Without you, its like me sufficating without air to breathe
Without you my life will be dark and cold
Without you is like I dont have a meaningfull life anymore
and i Cant imagine my life without you

I love you Haslinda...

Sunset in Terengganu


It was 10 years ago since I last visited Terengganu, a place where its famous for its leather back turtle laying eggs in this state, just off the South China Sea. Out of the blue..i decided to spend my last league of my 3 months holiday in Dungun, Terengganu alone.

5 Hours bus journey wasnt that new for me, as I did my travelling by bus and rail in UK and Europe, but the system here was really different. Travelling in your own country doesnt scared me..because if you did a mistake, you cal always commute with your language...unlike in any foreign countries...

Ani was the one who greeted me in Dungun and brought me around the small little town with a small Kancil car. I was a lil bit worried when she fill in petrol for RM2, which is so unusual for me. I usually fill in minimum of RM10, but thats so common filling in RM2 in Dungun. She brought me to Ais Kacang parlour by the beach and bought me one bowl of Ais kacang special.....Yummmy!!..After the refreshing ais kacang treat, checked into my hotel and rest for the night.

I also had a chance to meet Nosha, my xgf's cousin who happens to be my friend too, visited me that night too... Very cheerfull and bubly girl!!...

Then the next day, Ani rented a car and both of us went to Kuala Terengganu (KT) for sight seeing. First stop was the State Museum, and then to the Keropok market!!...man!!...i havent seen so many keropok like that before...so I decided to buy some with some turtle eggs too!... Then we're headed to a pier and have some Keropok lekor!!...another yummy stuff that should eat in Terengganu!!...Then, headed back to Dungun as we needed to sent back the car before 9pm..

The very next day, had lunch with Nosha and friends at the hotel and had a good laugh together. Right after that, Ani fetched me up for another quest to find raw keropok lekor to bring back home!!...So Ani and yself went back to KT and get ourself some keropok lekor!...Plus..We went to the floating mosque in KT before we stopped by at Teluk Bidara in Dungun...We enjoyed the view of the sunset and also watched few loval children having fun of themselves away from modernisation...Then we drove down to see the Petroleum center in Paka...The view was magnificent!!....Lights and flames from the oil refinery...

Ani wanted me to experience the Pasar Malam in Dungun right before my bus back to KL on the same night. I really enjoyed myself at the Pasar malam...many new things i Saw!!...

Nosya joined us at the bus stop to send me off around 10pm and my bus left Dungun at 11pm.

I really enjoyed myself in Terengganu. Ani was really the best hostest around...Alll plans that she planned were done without any distruption!...tip top service!!...hhihihhiih...I really enjoyed the sun rise in the morning, the sea, beautifu beach and the simplicity of life away from modernisation....i envy these people without thinking about internet and gadgets and they can life happily...I would love to stay here longer...but i had to go back to KL..

Thanks Ani...thanks Nosya!!...will be seeing you in the future!!..

Enough is Enough

Ok... i think i decided not to chase any girls from now on...it leads me to nowhere...

I guess life has its wierd way telling about the consequences... A friend of mine told me I have to stop chasing after girls anymore, which I am and I wasnt chasing after any girls from Now on... I will just let the girls to chase after me instead...

Ezar did told me I have to gauge the depth for me to dive...well..Ezar boy..im not diving anymore for the time being... dah malas dah...

Like i said to Eddie... "its enough for me to fall for someone...if i do..i will keep it to myself...let them fall for me and persue for me..." We have more important things to worry about bro!!..

Im not giving up hope for any girls pun...but...tah..its hard for me to express..i just dont wanna fall In love to someone who dont love me back or find me attractive for who i am...

Kerana Mu Malaysia


Where can you have supper in the middle of wee mornings when you feel so hungry?..just a car ride away to a mamak stalls and presto you got your food!!.. where can you get cheap entertainment, like DVDs, Movies, CDs?... Its all in Malaysia!!.... I've travelled all around Europe and in the UK but nothing beats Malaysia...

A country with such beautiful scenaries, multi cultured and also multi racial, houses of beautiful buildings, old and new and many others that describes best about Malaysia.

Malaysia will celebrate her 48th Independence Day on the 31st August. Theres gonna be parties, fireworks and concerts celebrating Independence day. But is that the real meaning of celebrating independence?

Some forgets the real meaning of independence day the signicifcant of why we celebrating it its the celebration for all Malaysian after being freed from colonisation for 450 Years by the Dutch, Portuguese, Japanese, British and even the Siamese. Nowadays, Malaysian tend to forget that they are still being "colonised" by the foreigners indirectly.. Just look at the way of life of the young generations.

Tunku Abdul Rahman actually pulled it off!!...He managed to get the, then, Malayans to Unite to become one nation. Tun Abdul Razak brought up the country to greater heights by intiating the nations development. Tun Hussein Onn streghten the Unity of all races in Malaysia while Tun Dr Mahathir who made Malaysia on world's center stage. And lastly Dato Seri Abdullah or Pak Lah trying to sort out the countries economic gap between the rich and the poor.

I just hope Malaysian dont forget how our grandfathers fought for independence and not selling the country off to others again...

Happy Independence Malaysia!!....Kerana Mu Malaysia

Cheers to Friendship


Friends to me is one important element in Life...

Not having a lover..like boyfriends and girlfriends...
not the lovey dovey friends...but i rather have a confidant...
someone to talk with..
someone you laugh with
someone you cry with
someone who shares the glory and pain together...

Friends to me is everlasting...

This is to Friends i Have... Thanks for being there...

Changes

Life is about changes...







sometimes you are scared of changes because we're embarking to a new territory, new surroundings, new ways of doing things.. Big Factor why we are scared, generally, is we are too comfortable in the way we are living now. Example, like going to work, using the same route everyday, because you are sure to be at work on time or earlier to the office and not be stucked in a traffic jam or something... But what if, you have an important presentation and you change your route to the office?!..would you do it?!..Mostly would say no..because you dont know u can reach there on time rite!?... But wouldnt that be boring if u just keep on going everyday of your life...to the same route, same style!?..

For a start, Im not talking about changing my Multiply just yet...i know everyone is doing so and everyone is saying..look at mine...i got it first...for me...WAIT till the 7th July ok!?...MORE surprises actually =P huhuhuhuuh

welll...why i write this today is...my life has changed!..my friends has changed.... some of them are talking about marriage now...talking about carriers..talking about taxation and more stuff that at one time you never thought off... Being here in the UK was a big leap for me... I had good life...good friends... I dont have to worry about food or money coz im getting them by going to work or just go out to the mamak stalls...but in UK...u dont know whether you can survive or not... Well...look at me now...im becoming Bigger!!... I AM having one Enjoying life, with some "spice" alongside it... If u asked my uncle, ask him how terrified i were when i first arrived in UK...I still remember his words...he took me out away from my mom and other family member...and we sat in the bus....(of all the places huh?!)..and told me..."You have dreamt coming here  and why are you so scared!!...If u dont wanna changes...balik Malaysia laa!!" (hes kinda tough on advices)...but i dont give up on challenges that easily..i take this change as my challenge!!

Now...almost a year...im Blessed with Good friends in Birmingham, in London... Ive gone almost the whole middle part of UK, been to Europe..

It opens my perspective of life... how the world works...how people thinks...how they live..

I just got off with my Friend Eddie..and hes so happy to be with his new beu..he made a song for her...(how sweet he is huh?) and i told him to get married!...We are not that young anymore...if u capable to have a family...why not!?...its not a high school love anymore... I never seen Adlin so happy before he met Azimah... And yea...i cant believe myself i told him that I wanna be his God Father to his children ...i just love kids!!

All of us are not 16 or 18 anymore...when we use to hang out..play PS2 or Xbox... Maybe after this i will be working and no time for games!...Maybe golf an exceptional? huhuhuhuh...maybe i wont be able to spend my time on multiply either...eventually...i will stop from this...but not in the near future....maybe another 20 more yearS?...

To conclude this...Changes are good, sometimes its for the good. Scarifies the comfort and maybe you'll get even more comfortable life... As for me...when i heard my parents are moving out from our 20years old house...i was sad....i grew up in that house...but maybe its for the best...maybe i'll be getting a bigger room with a nicer view?...who knows?...

But if changes gone bad...then take it as a challenge and some lesson that we need to learn and to rectify the problem...Everything happens for a cause...only God Almighty knows...and you to find out!!

Take the risk..change for the good...and yes to those multipliers that are changing their sites, make it interesting yaa!!...

Start with small changes!!...then you'll know what i mean...

Ouh please God, that You who could help me and from You that i seek help upon

What a Difference a day made!?...

Thats the song title iM listening to by Jamie Cullum.. Nice , relaxing tune..

I made a long diversion back to my room today after my Project Management class, usually takes me 5 minutes to reach...but this time it took me almost an hour and a half... It was very nice weather, sunny, bright and not too windy (wind usually gushing quite strong of other days), just to places that i've haven't been for quite long time... Just to loosen up my stressful mind, reflecting what my lecturer just told us in the class...Stress sometimes helps...sometimes dont...it will panic you..

What he said earlier was so helpfull....He said..."you already know the answers subconsciously, but panic stops the mind to think"... and also...another tip that he gave, was "dont hold the pen till the invigilator says, you can start now...then start filling in the attendence sheet and your name for the first 5 minutes...you are surely be getting 100% marks for the first 5 minutes"....which is actually true eh!?!?

Yea...taken the time off from books and stressfullness...indulging myself with a whole tub of Haagen Daz to myself...just looking the people having fun under the nice clear blue skies, street performers performing some act...some didnt worked tho...but it was interesting...they kept on trying till their act really put up together...and everyone applaud...

Then me and my musics heading back to my room...Jamie Cullum all the way..."What a difference a day made!?...24 lil hours....the sun and flowers, where there used to be rain...my yesterday was blue dear..today iM a part of you dear...my Lonely days are through dear...since you said you were mine...and the difference is you..." 

Nahh...im not in Love yet...maybe soon... not now....but...its a nice chilling song...brings smile in this kinda weather...




Well...Sunsets..and i need to be heading off to the books...maybe i will just enjoy this sunset from my 13th Floor room of mine..

Till again..

The Trend of the Centurryyy

Every time I walk... whether to the market or to the shopping mall...or whenever i go for jogging in the evenings... whenever i passed a man or a women, young or some old man, i will see them wearing some ear piece in their ears......its not that they are deaf or just wanna cut away the noise pollution...its just that they have either a walkman...or an MP3 player...which is a trend nowday...BUT..thats not the reason I'm writing here today...the thing that bugging me is those people that i've come across it with e WHITE earphones!!...so what!?...its just white earphone no big deal u said?...it is BIG deal...its BIG now!...everyone is having an iPOD!!!...its either the normal iPOD (3G or the 4G series), the Mini or the Shuffle....

What really make this craze so sudden?!...because the attractive ads?!...or just the small MP3 player just plain cute?...

Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple Computers, is behind it all the way....his marketing strategy is Awesome i can sayy...he believed in his products since he first started Apple in 1976 when he launched Apple I, made by his good friend Steven Wozniak. Just a simple circuit board and some plywood covering them. But that lasted them a year to produced it... maybe lack of demand!?..who needs a computer then besides the government or big multi national companies...Steve Job didn't just stopped there, because he believe that computers are revolutionary products which one day be an essential thingy in our lives...dont believe me!?...why are u staring in front of the screen now!?... During that time...Sun computers were producing their computers, Intel were selling their ever best Intel 8080 , which most computer that time were using it as their microprocessor.

Apple after apple computer were introduced during the late 70s and then the 80s..when Steve changed his Apple computers to Macintosh Plus in 1986. By this time almost all businesses are using computers and Mac was one of the peak choices. I still remember my dad had one...and it cost a bomb!!....During this period till the early 90s, Apple gained popularity and only loyal Mac users will stay with Mac and wont changed to PC as Bill Gates big campaigning for Windows to the masses. One thing Mac cant compete with a PC is the pricing...dont ask me why...

But Steve, in his turtle neck long sleeve t-shirt cladded with blue jeans like he always do, keep on producing new designs and powerful Mac Powerbook G3 was around. IN 1997It was the most powerful notebook around that u can get at that time..

Revolution of Mac doesn't stopped there, the most popular iMAC, the single Screen with Funky colors were produced. Personally, i like to have that one, but it has stopped production. The Bondi Blue was the hit, then it comes also in Pink, for the girls basically. But that was Steve's stratergyy!!...Its making the computer Personalized. PC aint personaliesed...was it!?...PC was merely white or black in colour...unless u changed the casingg....and Apple did hit the Notebook sector again with iBOOK... comes with Funky colors as well..

Steve didn't forget the corporate sector, which have been supporting him all this time. The G4 was the most powerful computer in 2002..



Well..thats beside the point what i want to sayy....iPOD was first introduced late 2001 with its 1st Gen iPOD, which was only 5Gb storage capacity. The smart looking external hard disc started the Craze!!..everyone was getting one for Chirstmas...another Strategy by Steve?!....i guess so... then it came out with the 15GB, 20, 30, 40, 60 and then the biggest 80GB.

That doesnt stop Steve just yet!!!.....



It iPOD was too large for ladies, so he introduced the MiNi iPOD 2 years later after the big iPOD were introduced. It doesnt has the capacity like the elder iPOD, just 4GB and 6GB but who cares with storage space when the Mini comes in 4 FUNKY colors!!?!?!?...It really makes the Ladies go GA-GA for a Mini iPOD!!...right LADIES!!?.... well...i like the Mini too....coz its CUTE...



Then the Shuffle was introduced a year later!!...and its just a USB flash Drive with a capacity of 512Mb and 1GB... But who cares about the capacity guys!!...its still an iPOD..and its COOL..its FUNKY....

To sum all up..

Steve is brilliant... brilliant than Bill Gates!!... He developed Macintosh and have u ever heard Macintosh computers having spyware?!...No right?!!...ugghh..thats beside the point...

The iPOD families really revolutionised the society today, everyone wants one, now iPOD comes with a photo screen!!.. if u look back..iPOD is just a hard disc that stores your computer data, but with some WHITE funky headphones (which actually a retro kinda design i must say).. Funky ADs!!...Funky add ons... and its also practical at the same time..

I thought getting an iPOD would make my life difficult coz im using the PC and maybe theres a conflict... But like Billy said to me, dont make Apple products difficult, because, its EASIER than the PC, just Drag and leave it to the folders... Yup...hes right!!... And now....i can officially say, iM an APPLE Addicted too!!..iPOD really changed my life... now..saving my money for a G5 maybe!?...huhuhuhuh

iDAN signing offf

ps : TO ADLIN...if u reading this... I got ur APPLE Feverr too weii...huhwuhwuhw

Diary of a Mad man
by the Cures


Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation endless price I have to pay

Sanity now it's beyond me there's no choice

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I'm here to stay

Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it's beyond me
There's no choice

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself

Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me
Monday till Sunday in stages
Set me free

Sitting by the windowww...

Looking back...

This week was so stressful week for us... Everyone was rushing to finish up the coursework due today and yesterday... Everyone has this look...the "Get out of my way...im trying to get my work done" look... its kinda scary...but without realising it...i too had that Look...

But today...the sun was shining...clear blue skies above us... everyone's faces changed... change to smile, laughter...and yes....eveyone handed their work today... we had the different kinda a look now..."aahhh...now i can go to sleeppp" kinda look....

I was looking down by the window in my room... everyone was wearing tuxedos and gowns...sitting by the lake...its the Chancellors Ball... a ball before the exams!?..damn..these people really know how to have fun before exams huh!?...well...anyway....seeing them all dressed up, taking pictures by the lake...its so nice...reminds me when me and my friends after Diploma Convocation.... with our graduation gowns..taking pictures of each other....i just smiled to myself....

Its like popping a bottle of Champagne for me...but i just popped my bottle of Ribena...and drank it to my job well done...then suddenly...fireworks shots up to the skies... (man...they really do know how to celebrate pre-examination week here eh!?!).... It brings me a wider and bigger smile.....

Feel so relief now.... no more burdens...just me and my examinations next week starting on the 3rd...

Good luck to my dear friends who is facing exams too...may the force will be with u?!... =P

I really had a good time with them... And most of us share the same interest... Travelling and Shoping for Tiar, Cars and Harleys with Reja (Reza), Language translater with Wandy, Wacky as Della and Lala, all of them really had their own colour... And one thing in common with all of them... Having fun with each other... =)

But I did influence them the usage of one Malaysian Language.....JOMM!!.... =P

Chilling with Cup of teaa..

I didn't really posted any new blogs about my days lately. Life has been very busy, race against time finishing up all my coursework before the Easter holidays, beginning to like football , which is kinda weird for some and for me too, and yea...no ideas to write about...or to talk about...

It has been 7 months now iM away from home, and i just realised that iM about to go home this July...thanks to my friend Mat talking about my flight tickets back home. Cant believe time flies just like that. I still remember the 1st time I arrived UK, scared of new surroundings, people are much taller than I am, the weather and away from the loves ones. But now, been to alot of places around UK itself and later this week, I'll be heading my way to France and then to Italy. To think of it again, Im kinda lucky compared to some. Thank to GOD for it.

Being away from family actually teaches me about myself really. I thought u knew yourself well then...but nope...u dont really realised ur capabilities... Usually back home, if you're hungry, all u need to do is wait for mom to cook or go to some food joints to buy them. Here, Im really amazed of myself that I can really actually make sure Im survive by cooking myself, although i Know how to cook back home...but iM just too lazyy... Laziness never appeared ,well..sometimes, in my vocabulary when it comes to eating. If u dont eat, you will be without energy and cant study or have fun!...and eventually get yourself in trouble...now im a lil bit rounded than before. =P

Than, somethings u need to sacrifice. This is gonna be the 1st ever I missed the Formula One race in Malaysia, it might sound like...ahhh...just small matter...well..its a big matter to me, coz something that I enjoy doing it. Since the 1st race held in Malaysia in 1998, till 2004 never missed it..All I can do this year is to watch it in the TV. Watching in the TV and watching it live is different... U wont feel the atmosphere if watching it in Tv..All u can hear is the sounds...but not REALLY feeling the HEAT...maybe there is a blessing in disguise for me not going to Sepang.

Ouh....now football is game i play lately... Join with the Malaysian people residing in Birmingham, and play every week. Manchester Games held last weekend and the team won 3rd placing. I didnt scored any goal tho...but being a defender need to run as fast as the opposing team striker and intercept the ball.. Not a easy job either...

Tiar, a multiply friend of mine is now on her journey across Europe. A Europe Freak what Adella said... (sorry Kodel..hehehheheh)...just backpacker style travelling...alone...i really respect her for that...I always wanted to travel alone without any plans...to the unknown...without even speaking their language apart Malay or English... Something like my journey to Japan... dont even speak a single Japanese and they dont really speaks English...all I did was sign Language...and i did survive....But Tiar really did what i ALWAYS want to do...like the Traveller program on Discovery Channel.... KUDOS TiAR!!!..

Im gonna dissappear for the next two weeks!!...I'll be joining my Aunt and Uncle, who is staying in London and follow them to France and Italy for Easter.. Will be seeing some friends in France and Italy too... And yea...i promise to take pictures!!...

So...take care everyone!!....Have a Nice EASTER Holidays and for those who is sitting for exams....GOODLUCK!!...just relax...dont get too tense!!... =P

The HEAT is ON

The Formula One (F1) Season will start kick off this weekend at Albert Park, Australia. 10 teams will be competing the whole season with Red Bull Team taking its debut appearance replacing the financial troubled team, Jaguar.

Major driver reshuffle for the whole F1 teams except for Ferrari, maintaining The 6 times World Champion, Micheal Schumacher (MS) and Rubens Barichello (RB) with their F2005 car. 2nd on the Constructors championship table during 2004 is BAR with their Honda powered engine car, with Brit young gun, Jenson Button (JB) alongside with Takuma Sato (TS) of Japan. Despite some confusion on JB's contract, he is determine to drive for championship this year with team. Sato on the other hand would make the Honda name to the World wide brand name.



After the good start of the 2004 season, Renault with its best launch control car, also retains Spaniard Fernando Alonso (FA) with Italian flavor, Giancharlo Fisichella (GF). Alonso was tipped to challenge MS for the title this year, while GF wants to redeem the poor performance from the 2004 season with the Renault car.

2 cars were launched by BWM Williams last year after some design failure on the aerodynamic side, is hoping with new drivers and a new car would bring back BMW Williams to the contenders of the constructors standing with the choice of Patric Head and Frank Williams drivers, Mark Webber (MW) and Antonio Pizzonia (AP). MW was from Jaguar and did an impressive performance last season which caught the attention of Head and Williams and would bring the team back to greater heights.



Meanwhile, Ron Dennis from the McLaren, thought that, by bringing Juan Pablo Montoya(JPM) would turn the disappointing performance of the team last year back to the contenders of Ferrari. Kimi Raikkonen (KR) is kept in the team to show his best results. This promising Fin was able to challenge MS and would do the same this year.

Team from Hinwill, Switzerland, Sauber Petronas, brought back previously World Champion Jacques Villeneuve (JV) to the team pairing with Brazilian born, Felipe Massa (FM) with its Petronas 05A Engine to rev up the season. The team spent million of Euros on wind tunnel testing should see the results this weekend in Australia.



One of the Biggest car manufacturer, Toyota is confident with Ralf Schumacher (RS) style of driving and would bring back points for the championship. RS is to drive along side with Italian born Jarno Trulli (JT). JT is famous for his aggressive driving style and is set to score championship points this year.

Another financial ailing team, Jordan was bought by Midland Group in January secured its position in the Formula One race. With the faith of Eddie Jordan to a newly upgraded driver from the F3 league, Narain Karthikayen (NK) from India would be his debut appearance in the F1. Another rookie for Jordan team is Portuguese born, Tiago Monteiro (TM), 2nd on the Nissan World Series Championship.



Austrian first ever debut appearance, Red Bull team would be their fist race after bought the Jaguar team from Ford is set to drive with David Coulthard (DC) with vast experience in F1 together with Austrian born Chirstian Klien (CK) for the team.

The last but not the least, its the Minardi team. Paul Stoddard did a lot of miracle to the team. Despite the team performance is not up to par as the Ferrari, the Minardi team manage to score some points and manage to keep it selves running throughout the race.Maybe with their 2 new drivers, Dutch born Christijan Albers (CA) and Austrian Patrick Friesacher (PF).



Well, there you go for the teams and their respective drivers. Major reshuffling and some were retained would spark an excitement to the race this season. Few questions still looming,

Will the Micheal Schumacher dominate the whole race again!?
Will cars like McLaren and BMW Williams be reliable and stay on running throughout the whole race?

The guessing games is still there... SO....Ladies and Gents....THE HEAT IS ON!!.....

Goodbye January ...Hello February

Before you know it... Its already February..

30 days has passed... A lot of things happened during January. Finishing my courseworks, mostly dealing with numbers and errors, tidy up some reports and of course... MY Birthday. Celebrating it away from home is really something, used to have makan makan with the whole family and go out with frens later. Its a bit different this year, I celebrate it with me finishing up my statistics course work and later in class...But the Birmingham community here did put up some celebration for me.. ;) flattered la sket.... The most flattering bit was....( which I never experienced this before ) was my Computer windows was flooded with friend wishing my birthday...I thought someone just planted a virus or something..cuak la gakk...Well..I nearly burst into tears

HHEEYY YAAAHH

Then the traveling part... That was quite awesome really...tired but enjoying.. Meeting lots of beautiful people...and of course.... some shopping

Its February now... Its gonna be spring time soon, flowers blossoms birds chirping... my mom's birthday soon... miss everyone back home...wish they could be here with me experiencing this all with me now

The car is my Passion...my dream...and my

LOVE... Yup....the love for cars... i would rather not having a girlfirend than not having a car or drive a car...

I got this idea of writting is when Nanie, my ex-gf was asking what whould I be when i graduated...and i instantly replied Im gonna be an Automotive Engineer because i LOVE cars... We talked to each other quite frequent now.

Cars to me is like the energy moving in me...u know what i mean??... Seeing the curves and the power exerted by the vehicle itself can drive me crazy. I think its because the adrenaline rush in me makes me to have this kinda drive. Just talking about it ... or just feel it...man!!..i can't describe the excitement.

I missed the times of me just driving the car to nowhere...just where the road leads me to... and of course..the fuel...

Cars ... all about cars!!..

A day...

Without internet is something like a day without a girlfriend or boyfriend in that matter (which ever suits you). Eddie , a friend of mine was talking about a day without electricity, ouh, that really scares me if it happens to me, but as far I’m here, no electricity cut off but INTERNET CONNECTION Cut OFF!!...

I would really thought that in the UK, the internet connection anywhere, any ISP ( internet service provider) is providing excellent job than ISP companies in MALAYSIA. I got it all wrong alright!! Malaysian ISPs are far more better than in the UK. Another kudos to MALAYSIA!!!Since my internet were out for the whole day of Monday night, I did some DVD watching. I’m supposed to do my coursework but nope, I watched Italian Job ( Old Version ) instead. Besides I’m not feeling that well. My throuth aches, my head feel so swingy, my chest is feeling a bit of pinch. I think I’m getting my flu… again … hopefully not.

HHEEYY YAAAHH

Yea, my klasses are now on the go, Structures and Stresses ( calculating the stress and strains of any member that is loaded with some force on it, which also cause some strss and strains in my brains!! ), Control systems Engineering ( hate it… cause it involves electrical circuit and formulas shit… V=IR thingy… my brains will be electrocuted!! ), Engineering Materials (ouh… this is a cool subject… tells you the composition of some material… do you know carbon fibre is light as a feather but stronger than steel???) Thermodynamics and Fluids ( this is not bad, done that during my diploma dazes, maybe I shouldn’t have any problems with it… ) and lastly Electrical Machines and Drives ( Electrical again!!?!?!....am I in the right course? )

Look at my laundry… so the penuh!! ( full ) Maybe do it tomorrow after class. I just cant stand opening my eyes! At least I can get connected from the room from where I used to get myself hooked on the net… at the computer lab…

I missed my family so much. I was online with them yesterday, I saw my grandmother on my webcam back home and my aunts. So missed them so much, especially my grandparents and my mom and dad. At least now I could appreciate them much more than I used to. SO lesson of the day boys and girls!!...LOVE YOUR FAMILY!!!!

Ok ok … my eyes wont open that big now, I guess I better get my rest and try to avoid of getting another flu on the 1st week of class!!!..

My type of girl

It’s been awhile since I’ve haven’t watched this movie, The Girl Next Door. The last time I watched it was I just got through my heavy breakup. Its all about a guy, Matthew running for scholarship to get his scholarship and he requires to give a speech about moral fibres, don’t ask me what it is but it surely convincing. He is joined by two ever faithful friends ,Eli and Klitz, with the ‘K’ and not with a ‘C’. These three guys was known as the ‘geeks’ of the school. Then One night, a girl moved to Matthew’s neighbour’s house. Matt fall for this girl next door but he don’t realized her past occupation, as a porn star. But really, Matt falls for her and for what she is. Not because of her background.


HHEEYY YAAAHH


So anyway, my point is seeing Elisha Cuthbert reminds me of the type of girl that I like. Someone who is strong, someone who brings me up when I’m down, someone who is cute, someone who can makes you laugh and this is the part that I really like, someone who gonna push me up someone who’s gonna make me do things that he never thought that he can do. That me really. I can’t be with someone who nags all the time or complaining of what I am really. Throughout the movie, Elisha always ask Matt, “ What’s the craziest thing that you have ever done lately?” I like that type of girl. Brings me out of me. Well if I do meet someone like Elisha Cuthbert, like Elisha herself, I would just go and ask for her hands in marriage!!!...ahhahahaha

I used to had one like this, but doesn’t last long. I don’t know how the next would be, right now, just staying low and concentrate doing my study, my coursework, but YEA…I really like to have someone like the character in this Movie. Hopefully, my wish will come through.
About the movie… go buy a DVD and watch it, really worth the money.
