The trip to Birmingham was fun and memorable.. and the victory of Lee Chong Wei over Lin Dan in the Mens Single Final made it worth the while:-))

Tawakkal adalah Keajaiban Hidup

It has been almost 2 months since I left Malaysia.. Life in London seems good, so far. But sometimes I just feel so lonely and tired, which cause the level of motivation to drop.. And it's not easy to regain it.

Thanks to my friend, Noor illiey for the useful tips and advices. Also for providing the link "Tawakkal adalah Keajaiban Hidup", by Dr. Mohd Asri. Masha Allah, it is surely good reminder to all of us. He is the ONE who has created us, also the ONE who keeps providing everything for us.. but in most of the occasions, we tend to simply forget Him. 

 Oo.. Allah, guide our steps and don't let us go astray..

Never Stop..

Never stop till you reach the top, but once you reach the top, never forget to look down – to the ground.

CINTA

Back in 2004, I received a lovely SMS from a friend, who was studying at UMS at that time.. a reminder to me, and to everyone..

----------

Rasa CINTA bertandang tanpa diundang,

Ia bukanlah dipelajari dan tidak juga dicari,

Ia adalah fitrah ILAHI,

Dan kerana itulah CINTA tidak salah untuk dirasai,

Serta merasa untuk mencintai dan dicintai,

Namun janganlah sekali-kali menafikan ATURAN CINTA ILAHI…

Kerana di saat itu cintamu bukan lagi CINTA YANG SUCI,

Nyata itu adalah CINTA TERLARANG,

dan pastinya FITRAH kan menjadi FITNAH.

-------

..indeed, it is very true!

New Year, New Journey, New Beginning

See you again!

12.12 ~ Birthday Wish

I feel that I shouldn't forget 12.12 every year. Not simply because it's easy to remember,  but it was the date a very close companion of mine was born, 27 years ago. Definitely I wish I could remember every single date that marks the significant occurrence of every important person in my life.. 

During Engineering Dinner ~ 19th September 2006

To Kasfi Mohamed Nor, wishing you happy 27th birthday. Thank you for the support, encouragement and precious moment that we've spent together since the matriculation time, until today. And I do pray the friendship we have built will be lasting till herefater, Insya Allah.

Values of Friendship

Well, I’ve been going through the challenging moments since the last  few weeks, and hopefully it will come to the end in 1-2 weeks time. Sometimes, I simply forget to have my lunch on its right time, though I could still have it at 4 or 5 pm.

In fact, all of these challenging situations that I need to go through have taught me to be more systematic and well-organized. Apart from the physical fitness, it also requires mental strength, excellent environment with no external disturbance, as well as proper guide from the right person. I feel so lucky for having friends and seniors who are willing to offer their kind assistances and guidance to me, to ensure that I am on the right track.

Friends may not be able to pull you up
But friends will still think of ways not to let you fall
Friends are those with us in tears and joy.

Oo.. Allah, please make it easy for me, for the family and for all of my friends.. ameen.

The concept of Idealizations

People tend to associate Science and Engineering with fact and numbers, graphs and charts, symbols, formulas & equations, very straight forward, not flexible.. or perhaps, rigid. Well, how should I say? To some extent, I agree with that statement.. but there are many occasions where engineering concepts are better described using very soft and simple analogy based on the daily life.

One of the analogies that I like most, used to describe the concept of 'Reversible process' as an 'Ideal process' under the Second Law of Thermodynamics..where it relates to our daily life.

"In daily life, the concept of Mr. Right and Ms. Right are also idealizations, just like the concept of reversible (perfect) process. People who insist on finding Mr. or Ms. Right to settle down are bound to remain Mr. or Ms. Single for the rest of their lives. Likewise, a person who insist on perfection in friends is bound to have no friends." -Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach, 7th ed. p291

Look, engineering concept seems to be very beautiful and attractive if we are able to describe them in much simpler words..

Kampus UIAM ~ Suatu Ketika..

Mata dah berpinar & kepala sudah mula pening akibat lama menghadap laptop dan meneliti borang-borang yg perlu diisi dengan seberapa segera yang mungkin.. Suasana kampus UIAM juga begitu sunyi kerana cuti semester sudah pun bermula, kebanyakan pelajar telah pulang ke kampung halaman. Saya pula mengambil kesempatan ini untuk membuat persediaan terakhir sebelum bercuti..satu proses yang agak meletihkan fizikal & mental. Tatkala semester baru dibuka pada minggu ke-2 December nanti, kemungkinan besar saya sudah pun meninggalkan kampus ini sekali lagi..

Ini adalah antara panorama kampus UIAM yang saya suka suatu ketika dulu.. Tahun 2006. Kini hanya tinggal kenangan.. untuk tatapan generasi UIAM yang baru. (Cuba teka apa yang saya cuba highlight dlm gmbar ini?).

Wassalam.

Kesibukan Dunia

Few years ago, I received a short SMS from a lovely friend..

Sesungguhnya dunia ini sentiasa menjadikan kita sibuk,
namun bila difikirkan semula…
andainya perkara yang kita sibukkan itu
adalah semata-mata kerana Allah
tentu kita akan senang hati..
