me & my life's update

(^_^)

Lame kut da tak tulis real post here. Last time before exam. Seems that my writing mood just doesn't kick in much lately (this past year!?). Hmm .. so while waiting around at the lab, I think I should at least write some recent stuff in my life.

First off, I've been staying back in Uniten. It seems that I've joined robocon (finally after being rejected from UTP's for my bad grade :P )team. As our competition date draws nearer, we are staying back during the holiday/ special semester. So far's our progress seems OK. My team's 2 robot carriers are almost complete. Just few more adjustments for the body & kago holders, the auto's program, & then we can start training a driver for themanual bot. Huhu but it sure is going to be hell to drive the manual bot. So far, all our tests yesterday using two manual bots resulted in the kago falling, which means we disqualified/ have to go for resets. The manual bot also kept pushing & tilting the 'auto' bot in front, which is a disqualifying offence. Sigh ~ hope we'll make it work before the fated time. 5-10 May 2009. GOGOGO!!

Munzir went back to UK today, after a 3weeks 3 days (if im not mistaken) easter holiday. Sent him at the LCCT. His flight left the ground at 5pm (tentatively). He'd arrive at London on 12am(GMT) but his bus will only leave for Leeds at 9. Sian die ~ hope he can find somewhere comfy to sleep. ALL THE BEST KAT SANA :) See you in June.

Regarding Munzir, mama had to drive home alone from here to jb. Sian kat mama, I thought of joining her, but then how am I going to go back here? By bus? Who's gonna pick me up? I've also taken 1 week off from the stayback, I feel wrong to just suddenly take another weekend off just like that. :( Sorry mama. I know these excuses means nothing, mama still drived home alone. :( I'm just glad mama arrived home safely tadi. WAIT FOR MY RETURN THIS SATURDAY, MAMA :)

Ayah's 100th day is coming up this Monday. I'l be home to be the representative at the masjid for ayah's tahlil. So I'll be coming home this Saturday. AL-FATIHAH FOR AYAH. Hmm lots of stuff need to be taken care of regarding ayah's inheritance.

Now back to work, robotnik!! (man ... I missed watching sonic cartoons like the old days)

robotnic!!

Jum wat keje!!!

btw, selamat 3 tahun!!

:: U.N.I.T.E.N ::

Been quite very busy lately. One thing after another. Few tests, assignments, incoming finals. Sigh .. sometimes I just forget how tiring being a student is. Heheh... but I guess it's just normal. Especially it being the last few weeks of the semester.

• ROBOCON
  
  1. design cct cards (?) --> need to learn to use DeepTrace first
  2. missed both the PCB Lab demonstration --> got class meh ~~
  3. I will be staying back till 11th May to help the team
  4. the competition's on 5th May @ Stadium Melawati, Shah Alam
     
• Assignments:
  
  1. SnS
  2. Islamic Studies
  3. Thermo's tutorials
  4. E2
     
• Tests:
  
  1. Thermo yg baru abes
  2. ade lagik lain ke? tah laa huhuh
• Managing life as it is . .

Hmm tapi after listkan balik sumer .. xde la cam busy sgt pon actually. Cet .. aku cakap je busy .. cam x sgt pon . . . maybe it's just my time management dat needs refinements.

The final starts on 23rd March. THIS 23 MARCH!! Just a few more days. 23 - 5 = 18 more days. Afraid dat I'm not really prepared for it. 18 days, divided by 5 subjects = about 3 days for each subject.

AND the ticket, I still can't collect my exam ticket. Need to pay this semester's accomodation first, around rm1000+. Though actually MARA owes me 5000+ for the first semester's fee, so I actually dont's need to pay anything, but it's gonna be less hassle by just paying than trying to convince them like I did last sem. Anyway, even this semester's fee haven't been deducted yet, as usual. JPA's done, but not MARA. So I don't know when I'll be given my 1st semester's fees.

Life . . . just passes you by without you realising it.

:: A Grievous Moment ::

It has been a very tiring & ... surprising ... Sunday for all of us. Yesterday, Allah has called upon ayah to go to the afterlife. So sudden, so shocking, it's almost like a dream. Even now, I still feels it's like a dream. These two days seems like another person's story, not mine, not this family's. It's really not true how you always say/feel "it's never gonna happen to us, it only happens in paper/to other people". How untrue . . .
Here's the part where people will talk about how arwah was this & that. Well, I won't talk about it here. He was a great father. That's all I needed to say. People who knew him should know how was his life, who he was, what he is.
I was there with ayah during his last minutes. But before I go into details, I wanted to, on behalf of ayah, ask for all to forgive all sin/grudge they have towards ayah. If there's any unsettle business, do contact me.

My Sunday started at 5.40am. I was awaken by my maid, saying about mama told me to go to the clinic, ".. ayah sakit dada .." Never would I imagine it'd be ayah's last moments. The illness doesn't really ring a bell coz ayah has just came back from his Hajj pilgrimage, & has been coughing a lot since coming back. It's usual for someone to came back with a some cough & mild fever. But that day, ayah was having chest pain.
The doctor confirmed it was, after an EKG (I think) test, a heart attack .. or MI (myocardiac i) & wrote a letter of recomendation to HSA (Hosp. Sultanah Aminah). That's when mama call to have me accompany ayah at the clinic while she went back to take ayah's stuffs. Ayah seems fine to my untrained eyes. He said he had chest pains, & the dr confirmed it to be a heart attack. While waiting for mama, ayah went to the bathroom, took wudu', & did his subuh prayer. He was moving slowly, due to his chest pain, but otherwise seems okay to me. After he did his subuh prayer (Alhamdulillah, he did his subuh prayer), he went to the bathroom. That's when the second attack hit.
I was waiting outside, at the clinic's waiting area. Mama came, & we both waited for ayah to came out. When he was too late, I went to check. That's when i saw the the second most unforgettable moment in my life. Ayah laying facedown on the floor, some blood on the floor near nis forehead. "HELP!! DOKTOR2!!" & some other screams i shouted while running to ayah. Mama bashed the doctor's rest lounge door. The doctor came, checked his pulse, & ordered to call for an ambulance & wheelchair. It took us about 10 minutes to get ayah out of the restroom, due to one problem or another. After asking for 3 more guys, we finally manage to get him out to the waiting area. There, the doctor checked his pulse, & pronounced him gone. "Dia da takde." Straight to the point. No "I'm sorry", no nothing. Mama broke down. The top on my list of unforgettable moments in life. I think i said sumthing about "can't u defib him or do cpr or sumthin?"
"Da tak bole, he already stopped breathing. His heart stopped."
So I left dad on the wheelchair, in front of the doctor's room, & went to mama.

That was how I lost my father. How I became the man of the house now. I am sad, yet I am glad. For Allah has arranged him to go to the otherworld after being back from Hajj, after having meet his family (minus Hadi & Munzir who was oversea), after having done his subuh prayers. Allah took him from us at such a great time for him. For that, I am really glad.

"Ya Allah, ya Rahman, ya Rahim, may u bless his soul & put him among those you promised heaven."

:: my day ::

place: at home

feeling: not sleepy yet

what did I do today:

Woke up quite late, 7.30am. There goes my subuh. After fetching Alya, we went for breakfast. Nasi lemak + kerang2. Didn't have much appetite coz lately, I've been only eating in the late afternoon & evening. After I sent her to her office, I went back to my room & started 'transporting' the 2 new PCs (cpu + monitor + kibod&mouse) from my 4th floor room to my car. Luckily I'm using the lift, so it wasn't much work (still, quite tiring). So, I began my journey back home to Johor. All smooth sailing. A quick stop at Seri Putra to deliver the PCs, then home-bound!!
Was I wrong!!
After carrying the 2 PCs up to the office, went to fill up my car's tank & tyres. Then I saw it, a freaking nail, sticking out from my left-rear tyre!! No wonder it's so damn flat. So, off to the tyre shop for some quick patch-up. After it's done, off to JB~~
Again, I was wrong!!
I realised that I've left my backpack on my bed back in UNITEN. So, I doubleback to UNITEN, coz u see, the bag contains the money I needed to buy SAFF's stuffs. Man, how could I be so careless?? After the (rushed + 'gruelling') journey back to UNITEN, only then I was able to really start my 'balik kampung'.

Arrived home safely in the afternoon. First, I went to SAFF's office to install Kak Shidah's new monitor. Then I went back home. Home sweet home, at last. When I arrived home, my first thought was "Man, the house's really lonely." Our helper, Makcik Tutik is on holiday. So, only mama, firah, & I is at home. We just ate a simple dinner for the night, nasik + kuah paprik, home made, using old serai. Mama a.k.a the chef was quoted saying "kurang sedap, klu daun serainye fresh lagik, bole lagi sedap ni" Hehehe, nevertheless, I still think it's good, & we finished it all. Firah's been buggin me to help he open a blog. Hehehe, it seems that watching her father & brothers writing blogs made her want to have one. (^-^) Such cute lil' girl. "Esok tenet ade abg ajar, ye?"
Well, the funny thing is how she actually ask.
"Abang, fira nak tulis blog"
"Tulis laa."
" ... "
Mama then said, "What she means is ajar la camne nak tulis blog"
Hehehe indirect approach by firah, & lurus bendol answer by big bro "MUAHAHAHA!"

Got my last semester's result 2 days ago. Haven't shown it to anyone but Alya. Thought of showing to mama today, but the 'net's been down till now, when mama & Firah's already asleep. So, tomorrow I shall bring the not-so-good news to mama.

Sigh, I need to "get my acts together". That's what ayah always tell me. Study thoroughly. Don't waste this second chance. Redeem yourself. Well, actully I'm not really sure which one is ayah's & which one is mine. But the bottom line is, TOPeX, u've done sh#t, now that u've got a 2nd chance, don't #$%^(*& blew it!! Hope everyone who knew my story will have a head-start warning as to what might happen if u let urself do sh#t. I'm lucky to have a 2nd chance, & I'm very thankful. But will every1 got a 2nd chance? THM, learn from my mistake!

Aaah, such long time my break from writing is. Felt this way in a long time I have not. Adios, off to dreamland!! Starting Monday 8am classes I shall be having. Go to sleep early that I need most.

-yod...err..TOPeX out-

correction

seems that we don't need 4 PCs ... just 2 PC + 1 data server :-"

Holiday o holidays

After a long silence, suddenly this will be the last week of my 1 month sem break. Whatever happened to the 2nd-half of my semester? Next week I'll be starting my 3rd semester here in UNITEN. Settled my accommodation. I finally got a room in C1, though it's tid worse than my previous room.

• no window. Yup, u read right, my room got no freakin' GLASS WINDOW, just an empty hole where a glass window shud be!! Why on earth would the prev occupant rid the room of a glass window, I have absolutely no idea. Now I'm faced with muscle cramps due to the night's cold air. *sigh*
• The shower head's gone missing, a normal occurrence, also it's urm . . . 'tombol(???)' to turn the shower on. Had to use a spanner to turn the shower on. HOW COOL IS THAT?!!
• The toilet's lamp's out (like my old house's shower room.)
  
• The wardrobe mirror's also missing. Maybe the guy before had problem with seeing his own face. *sigh*
• The study tables are missing 1 chair. The lounge's sofa set is also missing one single seater.

I'm now own some PC hunting mode for SAFF. The company got some computer allocations for 2008, so I have to get few computers, some Office & AutoCADs, and maybe a storage solution, a server maybe, or just a simple RAID-able network storage device. Hmmmm. Been to the Mines yesterday, bought a 19" widescreen for Kak Shidah at JB's office. Will bring it back this weekend. I'm actually test-driving the LCD right now!! :D Though, I seem to be unable to take the 'base leg' off for re-storage. -_-"

• LCD for kak shida (done)
• 4 mid-range computer, no CAD, just basic office stuffs
• 4 autoCAD LT licenses (did you know each copy of LT '09 costs almost 5k???)
• 4 MS Office licenses
• Digital storage solution for archiving old drawings, meeting minutes, letters, etc. (should I get a server with RAID SCSI HDD? or is there a network storage device capable of RAID? I'm going for RAID coz one of the office's portable drive just broke down again, & with it all the crucial data within)

On another note, the exam's result will be announced within this week. DOKI² shimasu!! All I can do now is pray & hope for the best!!

Till next I feel like writing, adios!
