um excellence awards

Tuesday, July 27, 2010


last friday's night, i had the opportunity to accompany o.h to um's dinner occasion. he received an award for his phd from raja muda perak, as he managed to finish in less than four years.

i managed to catch a glimpse of sultan perak and raja muda perak. very tall, very fair ;)

food wise, it's not something that i am into and i wasn't being offensive here. it's a chinese style dinner, they served the lauk first and finally the nasi goreng arrived. let's put aside the chinese style cooking, the taste wasn't at the level as i hoped. dalam simple bahasa melayu, tak bes sangat la.. i drank less as it's tea on the menu, okla you can actually ask for plain water. except for wedding receptions, it seems like whenever i went for official dinner at hotel it's chinese dinner that they normally serve.



Chinese style soup, the sticky consistency but tastes quite nice to my surprise. 

hope that we could be back next year and many more years to come. if that the case, then i can come up with the II, III and beyond =)

the top recipient of the night bagged himself up to 30k ++. phew..

hey bagan lalang

eaterie: restoran terapung, bagan lalang

jumaat malam minggu lepas adalah trip yang tidak disangka ke bagan lalang. nak carik kedai seafood bes, itulah plannya. aku pulak kebetulan ada kat semenyih, macam bulan jatuh ke riba la. rezeki puasa ganti.

aku ada dengar macam-macam review pasal bagan lalang, ada kata sedap, ada pulak on the contrary. pendek kata tepuk dada tanya selera. ada orang kata kedai yang di sana, ada pulak yang tu. mostly tak cakap kedai mana, jadi rezeki kaulah kalau dapat tempat yang sedap. jadi taktik biasa ialah tengok kat mana semut hurung. ramai orang tu insyaAllah sedap. dapat pulak tempat cantik, agaknya sought after nih.

since gerak dari semenyih je dah past 8.30, sampai sana nearly 10. eh, seriously macam lambat kan, tapi pengunjung tetap come and go macam kiterang. keluar kereta je angin sikit punya kuat, takde sepoi-sepoi bahasa. langsung tak sopan. ok, aku ingatkan sebab kita memang betul-betul tepi laut, which is memang betul-betul tepi laut. angin dan diikuti titis-titis hujan. cepat-cepat berlari masuk kedai, dan terus berdiri once we spot an empty table. rupanya ribut mengganas laa..

takdelah makan dalam hujan, tapi lambat sikitlah proses amik ordernya. personally aku rasa boleh datang lagi =)

bukan salah saya pelupa

bila dah banyak accounts created, kadang dah jadi macam terbeban pulak.

aku ada satu password ni yang aku pakai on most of the accounts (gila bahaya), setakat emel tu takde masalah la, ni bila kita sign up dengan companies atau online shop yang required password canggih-canggih. maksudnya yang nak combination capital letters la, numbers la, characters sumer ni. alamatnya berterabur laa password yang ada dalam kotak ingatan aku ni. dah le makin pelupa.

jadi aku pun itu hari ada download application free kat ipod. yang sakit hati tu, password canggih kat ipod pon aku lupa. adoyai.. pening kepala.. mujur password penting-penting seperti internet banking aku still ingat baek punya.

jangankan password, kadang tu dengan id pon aku dah jadi confuse. ada yang pakai emel ok lagi, ni yang pakai id ko sendiri. ada yang aku pakai first name je, ada pulak fist name dgn last name, ada pulak yang ada [dot]..

silap aku jugak, tak keep track sangat. harapkan signup emel je..

mimpi syahdu.. Dùn Èideann

angin takde, ribut takde, baru-baru ni boleh pulak aku bermimpikan edinburgh

citernya camni, aku tatau aku buat apa kat sana, tapi macam wandering around. aku tak taulah tempat tu kat mana, but it became familiar. bila aku merayau tu, macam tau nak ke mana. bila naik bas tu macam reti je. lama-lama tu aku baru perasan.

aku sendiri macam dah lupa dengan edinburgh. tempat jatuh inikan dikenang, inikan pula tempat yang kasi aku macam-macam pengalaman yang tak boleh untuk ditrade dengan apa pon. dalam sedar tak sedar tu mungkin aku sendiri yang rindu. rindu ke? kalau tak rindu pun ada perasaan syahdu huhuhuhu..

despite everything, the acceptance was always a highly regard to o.h. katanya senang ke awak nak dapat sebabnya aku selalu kata, whatever it is, it's a business to uni. mestilah dia welcome students especially international.

dalam tempoh setahun tu, i've learned a lot. southampton is the place where our journey begins, but edinburgh is where i stand alone. pintu edinburgh somehow ialah aku hari ni.

after 5 years.. aku miss the unpredictable weather. aku miss its surrounding. aku miss the picturesque of medieval and georgian architecture. aku miss kebab palmyra yang tak boleh ditandingi mana-mana kedai kebab kat soton. aku miss the biting coldness. aku miss nasi kari masjid. aku miss deretan highstreet shops kat princes street. aku miss scottish english yang pelik tu. aku miss uni. aku miss fort kinnaird. paling absurd aku miss scotland.

kalaulah aku owner dslr time ni, uuu jangankan air mata aku meleleh (sebelah je), air mata korang-korang pon mengalir sama hehehe

cool tau sapa-sapa yang nak melancong tu, pergilah edinburgh.serius, cantek gila. ah benci i ;(

the easiest mac and cheese, ever!

Thursday, July 08, 2010

hari ni aku mengganti puasa, dalam usaha untuk mengganti puasa secara extreme iaitu 19 hari non-stop. kalau larat la kan, kalau less extreme mungkin 5-5-5-4, atau 4-4-4-4-3, kita tengok formation mana yang akan prevail.

back to entry's title, hari ni maa aaqilah and natalia sangat malas untuk masak beria. dari budak-budak ni bangun aku dah kasi makan cereal dan calciyum, tapi perut yang lapar tetap perut yang lapar. tiba-tiba aku teringatkan mac and cheese, tapi apa yang aku boleh come up dengan macaroni dan hanya cheese spread without ayam, daging dan sebagainya. come on, think fast!


menurut aaqilah, sedap (bangga i gitu hehehe) tapi dia sukalah gamaknya. natalia? dia telan saja. sangat cepat dan senang, seriously. 

ingredients: macaroni, cheese spread, sprinkles of oregano, salt and pepper
preparation time: less than 15 mins pon boleh siap

rebus macaroni as instructed, aku suka letak a clove of garlic (ketuk-ketuk je), sikit garam dan minyak zaitun dalam air tadi. dah masak, toskan dan prepare dalam bekas. garam, oregano, cheese spread dan pepper ikut sukati dan gaul sebati. buon appetito =D


p/s: sebenarnya kan, aku sendiri tak merasa lagi camne, mengikut kata-kata mereka not bad haha.. ada bunyi sedikit perasan di situ ;)

demam oh demam

kenapa susah sangat?

Monday, July 05, 2010

in my personal opinion, looking for jobs in malaysia is way harder, and i don't even started on the interview processes yet.

since the first interview i went last year, they're all like hell.

first interview. the technical person was oversea and we did the interview via teleconferencing. the guy bombarded me with all the technical questions, i didn't know if i was supposed to feel relieved that we're not doing this face to face or feel bad at my performance. the 2 hr people before me seemed sorry looking at how painful it was. or, maybe they felt that it's a big mistake shorlisting this phony, mana tau huhuhu

this is what i discovered, if you're applying for developer jobs, a test is mandatory. last week alone i had to sit for 2 java tests. seriously, macam nak amek periksa. the first one was like, whooooo a 2 ++ hours test. a lot of terminology that i can't remember. i still remember the person from that company told me, ok this test is supposed to be difficult. yeah, he's right.

the other one was a lot easier. no 1, objectives kinda questions. boleh main tembak je. no 2, 100% amek dari buku periksa mana aku tatau. i think i scored quite high, that's what they told me.

back when i was looking for jobs in uk, i didn't attend many interviews (i didn't get many as well). the interview was more like chit chatting session. i did not feel the pressure to study hard, it's more on  stuffs that i hope to feed in during conversations. there's a test once, but it's more on hands-on thingy rather than paper based exams. my manager told me once, what he's looking for apart from skills and abilities is the personality and your attitude. i guess i got good attitude and personality then ;)

i'm going to give myself up until end of this year to get a really really good job. alas, adieu it corporate world..
